I really like this search engine. Jan at Epoch Times told me about it. Way better than Brave.

Never heard of Startpage. Why better than Brave Search or Brave browser?

Absolutely agree everyone should be off of Google. The problem of course, is Google has become ubiquitous, synonymous with both browser and search to many millions who have no other reference. And since these millions of people are having their browsing/search experiences censored...they will never know.

Startpage runs your searches through Google, but through a proxy so they are not connected to you or your ip address

Which means it pulls up many more options than brave search engine. Which especially for images is very limited.

Exactly! Google has entrenched itself into every home in America and most likely everywhere else. Our commie government just loves them.

Anything is better than google. so long as it is independent.

Given the CAPEX require to create an actually independent search engine, how many of them, Dr. Malone, do you suppose are genuinely organic rather than being state run?

Brave isn't a search engine, it's a browser and it is not nearly as good as Firefox for bookmark management.

Yippy, ixquick, dogpile, duckduckgo and 4conservative are all viable alternatives to google.

"Brave Search is a search engine developed by Brave Software, Inc., which is set as the default search engine for Brave web browser users in certain countries."

It is both.

Ah so, Desu ka, Robert-san. I was never overwhelmed by Brave and gave it a decent trial. I only get one ad and that's a pop-up on American Thinker if I click on their current cartoon. Fords and Chevys.

Been using Brave browser for several years now. Used firefox for several years before that. I haven't really noticed much difference in bookmark management. I have much less trouble with ads on Brave. It's been a while but if I recall correctly trouble with ads is why I dropped Firefox

Brave also has a search engine. I've been using that as the default search engine in the Brave browser for a while too. It seems to work OK.

Didn't work to my satisfaction, but I may have more bookmarks that need to be managed as part of my concrete sequential personality disorder. My bookmark file runs a little over 2.5Mb. and even broken up into folders and sub-folders, it's a long list. You can block ads in Firefox with free Adblock Plus and it works well except for some sites that insist on opening up small pop-up windows even with pop-up disabled in the browser settings.

Expand full comment

And I thought I had way too many bookmarks.... Ha ha ha.

Yeah, I tried all the ad blocking extensions and as I said Brave does a much better job on the ads. It seems I never get meaningfully slowed or even locked up due to ads anymore with Brave.

You spend a lot of time online?

I still have Brave installed and sometimes try it if I'm having issues with sites like slow loading or general performance problems on Firefox, but I went from Netscape to Firefox way back when and find it more instinctive. Have to admit, even with close to 30 years in IT I'm a bit of a Luddite.

Expand full comment

For better or worse I guess most people would say I spend a lot of time on line. I don't do TV.

I used to run Linux and got into Firefox when it first came out and it worked real well at first. As time went by though I ended up switching back to Windows again and Firefox seemed like it got slower and buggier, more bloated maybe and I finally just got tired of fussing with it all the time. Brave came out about then, I switched and for me it's just been much less frustrating to use. I'm not a fan of Bill Gates though I do now run a Windows OS again I avoid many of the programs that come with windows. I run Brave instead of the MS browser, Open Office instead of MS Office, Proton Mail instead of whatever the MS email program is called these days. I've also been trying to de-google for a while now.

I just tried it for a few searches and it doesn't appear to be better than Brave to me. Would like to hear more specifically what Jan thinks is better.

Agree, but if you start with 80 million unsolicited mail in ballots, ballot drop boxes with 2am bulk drops in every major city, a standing army of election workers on clandestine payrolls, voting machines with opaque software connected to the internet, and voting month instead of voting day in all the swing states, how much more do you need to know, really?

This is why I appreciate my Conservative News offering. Around 10 conservative sources (that I have bookmarked on my computer). Headlines and a short blurb. Not sure if it's available on windows. At least, on my phones, it gives me ready access to viable sources. Also keep Epoch Times fully available.

Interesting times. It really does feel like this next election may be our last hope for the freedom we once took for granted. The DNC side of the political realm is unraveling and the puppeteers seemingly without a puppet. I just saw a post Putin interview of Tucker Carlson. I've accepted Governmental corruption existence via the recent "pandemic". Still I am shocked to learn our Government blocked Carlson from the Putin interview for years. Also at our once great and enviable cities becoming crime infested and waste ridden. I hope voters, particularly Democrats vote for freedom.

Our systems have all been corrupted. We cannot fix it by fighting them. We need to build new decentralized and transparent systems that we migrate to that we trust. And we need to use Collective Intelligence systems and combine our intellect into super systems.

The first line that stood out to me was the one where the founders of Google are described as "utopians" - that line and what it implies is the thread that runs throughout all of this. Based on his actions, I suspect it holds true for the chief metahead as well. The problem, as many/most of y’all know, is that this never ends well. In the last 150-200 years how many "utopians" have ascended to power and how many millions more have fallen to ensure/maintain those utopias. Even if the story is allegorical, a teaching moment, man began in The Utopia, Eden, and our nature (desire to be or play god) got us kicked out forthwith. It’s funny, in a wry sort’a way, we set up utopias today (typically by deifying a a a solitary man; 🤔 funny #2: how come it’s never a XX woman) based on unknowable rules and enforced at the point of a gun while that first utopia had one rule (this one thing is not good for you (yet)) and no coercion.

The second aspect was that which I didn’t catch - was there a solution offered? We’re not gonna change this by appealing to the masses: we’re too addicted to free stuff and our nature of avarice, our desire for more costing less or nothing, is too great for us to break away from being the "product’ to be used, abused, sold, traded for or at the pleasure of our digital overlords. So does that mean we’re left with The Government getting involved to rein in these monsters? Be careful of what you wish for. Supposedly, our government was set up in such a manner to ensure the power of the people and the states would reign supreme. tl:dr, we’ve seen how that lasted. Our predecessors 5 generations before us traded in the power reserved to the states for more power to the individual and here we are, in 2024, having saddled our children with a debt greater than has been known to man since that first utopia (OK, didn’t do the math but I’m sure it’s close and it sure sounds good 😉. Why?: our avarice, and selfish nature.

I suppose it stuns people at times why such a generally happy, content fella with a positive demeanor can have such a pessimistic view of our future; well, while I know what good man has the capacity of doing, I’m too familiar with what man has already done (that’s not good).

First - Great to hear from you! Many good wishes for your Aniversary celebration and a Happy Valentines Day!

This is a blockbuster essay. Needs sharing with parents. As they add AI the impact on children will be all the more devastating!

To me Google and Microsoft are among my enemies. I don't know if you Apple folks are better off. I'm stuck with my enemies. As a small tick on the ass of the donkey, I do expect they have larger enemies to thwart.

On the other hand, beyond my phones, there's no smart tech in my life. Samsung does try and plague me, but ignore their opportunities.

MD is soliciting mail in voting 2024 and forever. So this rearranges the stage a bit.

So, how can we get the messages here out to those who might take these cautions to heart? Sharing this substack essay, discussing the concepts here in with those who may be willing to open their minds and take heed?

All insights are welcome.

Many joys and pleasures with your celebration ❤️

Very Bestest Always ❤️ 💖 ❤️

We hear a lot about “election integrity” or lack thereof, particularly around the issues of counting the vote and the ballot box. But the truth is that elections are more likely to be stolen via search engine manipulation effects (SEME).

What is SEME?

SEME is an abbreviation for the search engine manipulation effect. In a series of randomized controlled experiments, it has been shown that more than 20% of undecided voters can be manipulated into voting one way or the other, by simply manipulating the rankings of search engine results.

These studies were published in an article titled “The search engine manipulation effect (SEME) and its possible impact on the outcomes of elections”, which was published in the journal, PNAS in 2015.

ALL TRUE, BUT IT'S WORSE THAN THAT FOR TWO REASONS:

1. Obama legalized propaganda as he was leaving office by sticking a few sentences into the multi-thousand page Defense Authorization Act to cancel an old Senate Bill that protected us.

2. New technology -- Hammer and Scorecard (discussed extensively in our book "Invisible Treason") makes it easy to "adjust voting results" if the voting systems are networked in any way.

3. This all on top of "Zucker boxes," 2000 Mules, and more.

WE NEED PHOTO ID, 24 HOUR VOTING, AND PEOPLE FROM BOTH PARTIES AS OBSERVERS. WITHOUT ELECTION INTEGRITY, AMERICA IS LOST.

Before O left office he made all election equipment part of Critical Infrastructure. By 2020 election it was all on the FirstNet network which runs on AT&T I believe.

Expand full comment

Correct. For honest elections this must be stopped. It's not enough to disconnect the wires. Voting systems must be totally isolated. No electronic connections allowed.

Read "Invisible Treason." Massive evidence exists of electronic tampering. We are allowing foreign governments -- plus American traitors -- to "manage" our election results.

Paper ballots, photo ID, hand counting, and same day results are needed.

I don't know about others, but as a creaky, a bit painful, limited stamina antique - I've taken to early voting on Sunday mornings to manage "in person." I suspect I'm not the only one. I vote conservative. You may need to come up with an option to preserve our access.

For sure we do. Also for military ballots.

This is tricky, and my background is electronic engineering. Brazil had non-networked machines that were very clever. In the end, their systems were compromised.

Shelly, partly IMHO, it has to do with people being in a hurry and picking the most convenient one.

Secondly, I think that they're not aware of the evil plot, so they continue to monetize these people!

Great article! I wrote about this a while back.

There’s a tendency — a passive acceptance that belongs somewhere along a continuum between faith and negligence — to assume that Google is merely a benign, disinterested gatekeeper of a vast repository of information. But nothing could be further from the truth.

A central responsibility of an information intermediary is, or ought to be, refraining from using data in ways designed to further the political goals of the intermediary. When Google’s employees or algorithms block our access to information about a news story, business, or politician, reputations can be ruined, businesses can crumble, and opinions and votes can shift.

According to Epstein's recent research, Google’s autocomplete search suggestions “can turn a 50/50 split among undecided voters into a 90/10 split without people’s awareness” by manipulating people’s thinking and behavior “from the very first character typed into the search box.”

During covid in 2020, I was trying to find a source to buy HCQ and IVM to have on hand since my doctor would not prescribe it. I tried google.com, and not one source came up. So I switched to yandex.com and found lots of sources and ordered it from India. With my health problems, it felt like google was trying to kill me.

Thank you so much for this article. I had heard this man when he was on the Mark Levine show before the 2020 election. I was astonished and flabbergasted. But I had not heard anything about his work since that interview, and I am so thankful for him and I am thankful that you have shared this. It is a wonder that he is still alive. I am so sorry to hear about his wife.

Enjoy the warm climes. Happy Anniversary.
