More than 18 months after the rioting at the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, an estimated 13 million U.S. adults, or 5% of the adult population, agree that force would be justified to restore former President Donald Trump to the White House and an estimated 15 million Americans believe force would be justified to prevent Trump from being prosecuted, should he be indicted for mishandling classified documents, according to a new study from the University of Chicago.

"We have not just a political threat to our democracy, we have a violent threat to our democracy," Dr. Robert Pape, the director of the University of Chicago's Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST) told "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan on Sept. 18. "Today, there are millions of individuals who don't just think the election was stolen in 2020; they support violence to restore Donald Trump to the White House."

The 13 million estimated in the early September survey represents a reduction since June 2021, when an estimated 23 million Americans had insurrectionist sentiment. CPOST researchers extrapolated data from over 3,000 nationally representative survey participants who responded to surveys in June and September of 2021, and April and September of 2022, to reach their conclusions in the study.

Pape and his research team found that the willingness to use violence to put Trump back in the White House was largely driven by unfounded and racist fears about a "Great Replacement" of White people by immigrants and about QAnon, a set of conspiracy theories involving sex trafficking by Democrats and liberal elites and corruption. According to the study, 61% of those who favored insurrection were fueled by fears of a Great Replacement, and 48% of those surveyed believed in QAnon.

The "Great Replacement" conspiracy is built around the belief that the Democratic Party is replacing the voting electorate with a more diverse voter base to undermine or replace political power held by White people.

"[Great Replacement] is a conspiracy theory, but it's not just on fringe social media like Parler or Gab, 4chan or 8chan" Pape said. "This is every day on Fox News, it's on Newsmax, it's on One America, it's on talk radio."

It was a motivating factor behind the "Unite the Right" Charlottesville rally, and in recent mass shootings in Pittsburgh, Penn., Christchurch, New Zealand; El Paso, Texas, and most recently, Buffalo, N.Y.

"If you marry those together, you have a dangerous cocktail. You have the fear of this Great Replacement happening by a Democratic Party, and then you have the fear of corruption and immorality, and that's that dangerous combination that's leading to violent support against our democracy," Pape said.

The CPOST study also found that Jan. 6 defendants were more likely to come from urban than rural areas of the country, and that insurrectionists mostly descended upon the Capitol from counties that have diversified the most quickly in the last ten years.

Pape's research suggests that "naming and shaming" those who participated in the Capitol attack on Jan. 6 2021 has caused a decline in the number of Americans who would use force to reinstall former President Trump, likely due to this summer's hearings by the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol attack, as well as the continued prosecutions of Jan. 6 defendants and President Biden's speeches focused on that day.

Pape also spoke of Trump's association with QAnon, noting that the former President recently played a QAnon theme song at one of his rallies, and he reposted a video filled with references to the conspiracy. A central tenant of QAnon belief is that Trump is one of few politicians capable of bringing down a cabal of sex trafficking politicians and political elite.

"The former President is willing to court not just supporters of his, but those who support violence for his goals, number one of which is being restored to the White House," Pape said. "He is deliberately stoking not just the fires of anger getting him political support, but the fires that are leading to that violent 13 [million]."

Voicing his concerns about the upcoming midterm elections, Pape said, "If it's just a political threat, well, then we can have elections. Once it's not just denying an election, but using violence as the response to an election denial, now we're in a new game."

It's such a joy when those I've adore and admire exceed expectations. Ka-ching! Donna Pescow is, even more, a dream than I'd hoped. The woman is hysterical! I loved the non-stop laughs, coupled with great showbiz stories, and thoughtful reflection of the work, and the people.

From Miss Sing at Sheepshead Bay HS to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, to a Best Supporting Actress Award by the New York Film Critics Circle, tearing up the dance floor and the silver screen alongside John Travolta in the iconic, Saturday Night Fever, to starring in Angie, garnering a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress and a People's Choice Award nomination; starring in Out of this World, being the first lesbian character portrayed on a soap opera with All My Children’s Dr. Carson in the 80s, to co-starring on Even Stevens, where she earned three Emmy nominations. There were loads of other roles on stage and screen, we talked The Love Boat, and Gavin, Trapper John, and Gregory Harrison, I forgot to ask about The Sopranos, merde! But we did dive deep into Saturday Night Fever, director John Badham, Travolta, acting alongside him, dancing with him, then and now, the car, the bridge, the obsession, the boobs, Karen Lynn Gorney, Joe Cali, Paul Pape, The Bee Gees, Andy Gibb… great stories about Garry Marshall, Robert Hayes, Garry Marshall, Burt Reynolds, Robert Hayes, finally playing Rizzo in Grease with Barry Williams, Belinda Carlisle, and Casey Kasem, her longtime husband, Arnold, dieting, COVID, working again, dining again, and being downright adorable!

Loved every moment, and hope this is the beginning of more, more Donna onscreen, and in life. What a joy! She was worth the years wait, and then some!

The Time Traveler’s Wife (2009)

Drama, Fantasy, Romance |

The Time Traveler’s Wife is a American romantic science fiction drama film based on Audrey Niffenegger’s 2003 novel of the same name. Directed by Robert Schwentke. The story follows Henry DeTamble, a Chicago librarian with a paranormal genetic disorder that causes him to randomly time travel as he tries to build a romantic relationship with Clare Abshire, who would become his wife.

Filming began in September 2007, originally in anticipation of an autumn 2008 release. The film’s release was postponed with initially no official explanation from the studio.

In the early 1970s, Henry DeTamble is in a car accident that kills his mother but which he survives by inadvertently time traveling back two weeks. Moments later, Henry is helped by an older version of himself who has also traveled back. Unable to control the timing or destinations of his traveling, Henry finds himself drawn to significant people, places, and events in his life but is incapable of changing events beyond the minor differences his presence creates.

In 1991, Henry meets Clare Abshire in the library where he works. She is overjoyed to see him although he is actually meeting her for the first time. Clare explains that she met Henry’s future self when she was a child, and that he informed her then that they would meet in the future, which is happening at the moment.

Director: Robert Schwentke

Writers: Bruce Joel Rubin (screenplay), Audrey Niffenegger (novel)

Stars: Eric Bana, Rachel McAdams, Ron Livingston, Arliss Howard, Brooklyn Proulx, Jane McLean, Michelle Nolden

Kasno Thompson na Kosovo stiže

Komšije i dalje nastavlju živjeti jednu veliku LAŽ, i očito je da se nikada neće promijeniti. Jer ako počnu govoriti istinu, knjiga povijesti bi im spala na par stranica. Sve poraz do poraza. Pa tako "ugledna" Politika objavljuje tekst sa naslovom: "Hrvati počeli predsjedavanje EU uz Teslu." Koji je po njima srbin isto kao i:Ruđer Bošković, Petar Preradović, Ivo Vojnović.. i da ne dužim, SVI MI OSTALI. Jer ako netko nije znao, Hrvati su samo pokršteni srbi. Tako vele njihovi (a i naši) istoričari. Čuo sam da je i Thompson srbin, samo mu to još nitko nije rekao. Idući album mu se zove "Kasno Marko na Kosovo stiže" a sav prihod od prodaje ide za izgradnju još jednog spomenika čiča Draži.

Žalosna nam majka, što smo mi Bogu skrivili da graničimo sa ovim bolesnicima? Opet ću ponoviti jedino moguće rješenje. ZID, ŽICA, STRUJA. Mislim na granicu. Ova unutrašnja nejač je malo kompleksnije pitanje ali i to bi se dalo riješiti. Jer gdje ima volje, ima i načina. Za to vrijeme "drugo oko u glavi" (uz prepjev Čavoglava) prosvjeduje protiv SPC. Kad nam čak i crnogorci primjerom pokazuju kako se treba boriti protiv "nebeskih zveri", znači da s nama definitivno nešto nije u redu. To već odavno znamo ali ništa ne poduzimamo da to promijenimo. Hrvatska diplomacija već odavno ne postoji i leglo je jugokomunjara i uhljeba. Kad tome još dodamo onih 30 % četnika sa Domovnicama, imamo to što imamo. Takvi koriste svaku prigodu da pljuju po ovoj državi, čim pređu granicu. Pa tako "povesničar" Srboje Klasić u razgovoru za jedne bosanske novine kaže: "U hrvatskom društvu sve se svodi na mržnju, a rodonačelnik tog problema je Franjo Tuđman." I ovaj smrad predaje na fakultetu i "vaspitava" našu mladež? Da mi je samo 5 minuta vlasti, pjevao bi on meni "Juru i Bobana" i to u stavu pozor.

Po tko zna koji put moram ponoviti. Zajebite Predsjedničke, unutarstranačke i Parlamentarne izbore. Naša jedina nada u ovoj godini je da Trump osvoji još jedan mandat. Onda kreće konačan obračun sa antifama i globalistima. Diljem svijeta. Bez obzira na izvanredne rezultate na ekonomskom i političkom planu, još je rano za slavlje. Jer smežuranog (Soroša) i njegovu medijsku mašineriju se ni u kojem slučaju ne smije podcijeniti. I sam je javno neki dan priznao, da će ovogodišnji izbori u SAD odlučiti sudbinu svijeta. I mi se nalazimo na toj karti, pa nas se to i te kako tiče. Jer neovisnu hrvatsku vlast u ovome trenutku NE MOŽEMO imati i zato nam je izuzetno bitno tko će biti novi gazda? Koju ćemo politiku ubuduće slijediti, globalističku ili suverenističku? Na samitu u Davosu, drug tito se slikao sa Alexandrom Sorošem, sinom smežuranog sotonjare. Nadam se da su i najveći optimisti sada progledali i shvatili da nemamo ni N od neovisnosti. Jasno je kome su nas Jude prodale i kojim putem idemo u PROPAST. Ja ko' francuska sobarica naivno čekam kad će LUCIFER otegnuti papke, kad neki dan vidim na Google-u da ima petero djece. Četiri sina i kćer (Alexander, Jonathan, Gregory, Robert i Andrea). Dakle ostaje nam uzdati se u se i u svoga Donalda. Da globalizam (sotonizam) nije više pred našim vratima nego je odavno unutra, jasno je svima koji čitaju bilo što duže od Tweeta. Upravljaju Vladom, medijima, kulturom, obrazovanjem.... Jedino se još nisu uspjeli uvaliti u sport, a probali su. Zato i imamo toliko uspjeha na sportskim natjecanjima. Osim košarke. Tu je za glavnog rukovodioca po partijskom dekretu postavljen drug Dino Rađa, redovni posjetilac "kuće cveća". Što bi bilo s nogometom da je kmerčina Željko Jovanović krenuo isušivati "močvaru", ne smijem ni pomisliti. Ne samo da ne bi bili drugi na svijetu, nego se ne bi ni plasirali na SP. Tko ne vjeruje neka pogleda učinak orjunaša Dine.

Gledam naslov u jednom levom tariguzu, gdje kažu da je za seriju "General" potrošeno 1.8 milijuna kuna iz "džepa građana". Samo je još falila rečenica:"Koliko se za te pare moglo vrtića napravit?". A STOTINE milijuna kuna iz naših džepova koje se troše na: zvezde petokrake na neboderima, antihrvatske filmove i predstave, crvene umetnike, parade nastranih, "aktivista".... nitko ne spominje? To je valjda sve u duhu antifašizma? Sve više shvaćam i razumijem ideje Dr. Ante.

Fake news broj 2. Rupert Murdoch (vlasnik Fox-a) je uz Predsjednika Trumpa najveći krivac što sve manje ljudi vjeruje u klimatske promjene. Naime mlađahni Rupert (88) za požare u Australiji nije okrivio globalno zagrijavanje i ledenjake koji nas svaki čas mogu potopiti. Koji bezobrazluk i "javašluk"?! Vijest da su uhapšene 132 osobe za NAMJERNO podpaljvanje požara, se ne može ni svijećom naći. Ja sam je jedva pronašao na GAB-u, jednoj od rijetkih slobodnih društvenih mreža. Treba li uopće napominjati da su skoro svi uhićeni antife ili zeleni? Znam, dosadan sam ali opet moram ponoviti. U ovome trenutku su nam daleko najveća prijetnja GLOBALISTI! Kur*c bi papak Beljak i strašilo Stazić mogli nekažnjeno prijetiti hrvatima da im sotonjare ne drže leđa. Niti bi anemični govorio: "Mogu što hoću", da mu mali Aca Soroš i njegov babo nisu dali odriješene ruke. A i sve naše međusobne svađe i vrijeđanja po društvenim mrežama u vezi izbora, nisu rezultat različitih mišljenja nego dobro pripremljenog scenarija. Provokatora nažalost ima u svim FB grupama, pa i u onim što se nazivaju Domoljubnim.

Što nas još čeka u ovoj godini? Osim EP u nogometu, ništa lijepo. Plenki pobjeđuje na unutarstranačkim izborima, HDZ-u popularnost pada još više, komunjare pobjeđuju na Parlamentarnim izborima zahvaljujući slabom odazivu razočaranih birača. Svaki drugi scenario bi bio pravo čudo. I ne, nema nikakvog viteza na bijelom konju koji će nas spasiti.

Upravo zato treba uživati u svakom uspjehu naših sportaša, jer se barem na trenutak osjetimo ponosnima i sjetimo se tko smo i što smo. Kad jednom prelomiš, prestaneš vjerovati medijima i počneš misliti svojom glavom, primijetiš neke stvari koje ti do tada nisu smetale. Od TV reklama pa do naizgled bezazlenih običnih stvari. Upravo tako je najlakše progurati bolesne i nastrane ideje. Tiho, polako i korak po korak. Do prije par godina smo im jeba*ali mater na pederskim paradama a danas je to "normalno". Jer su nas postupno izdresirali a da to nismo ni primjetili. Jaki su, lukavi, love imaju i izvrsno su organizirani. Kad su mogli smjeniti Papu Benedikta i na njegovo mjesto dovesti ljevičara Franju, onda mogu sve. Čudne stvari se događaju i neki novi vjetrovi su počeli puhati u Katoličkoj Crkvi, ali rijetki se usude o tome pisati. Dovoljno je samo pogledati lijeve medije i vidjeti da više uopće ne pišu protiv Pape, a donedavno im je to bila duševna hrana.

Evo jedan banalan primjer:

Dolazi meni svećenik blagosloviti kuću par dana iza izbora. "Hvaljen Isus, kako si?", kažem ja: "Nikako. Kakav ću bit kad je komunjara pobijedio?" I onda mi on ničim izazvan počne citirati četalja Boru Đorđevića!? " Znaš, svi su oni isti i ne treba se oko toga živcirati jer kako kaže Bora čorba: "Za ideale ginu budale." Gledam ga ja i ne znam što bi rekao, jer sam bukvalno ostao bez teksta. Upalimo svijeću, izmolimo "Oće naš" i umjesto onoga dijela gdje se trebamo pomoliti za naše najdraže i za duše onih koji nisu više među nama, on počne pričati o spašavanju našeg planeta i mogućoj klimatskoj kataklizmi!? Kao da slušam čvaknuto dete zvano Greta. Još mi na odlasku kaže, kako me ne viđa baš često u Crkvi? Ode on a ja još ne kontam što mi sve napriča? Svašta će na svijet. Bojim se da će me sad još rjeđe viđati.....

Piše jedna gospođa na FB kako trebamo moliti za sve ove što su "zastranili" da se preobrate. Apsolutno pozdravljam ovu inicijativu.

Ali isto ne bi dao Beljaku da skuplja lemuzinu u Crkvi. "ZA DOMOVINU SPREMNI"

Google and WebMD Partner To Be Your Virtual Doctor

By Dr. Mercola

Late last year, Internet Brands, a company under the global investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR & Co.) umbrella, announced its acquisition of WebMD Holdings. Purchase price: $2.8 billion.1,2,3 The company also bought the wellness company Nature's Bounty Co. last year,4 and already owns a number of other health-related internet brands, including DentalPlans.com, eHealthForum.com, HealthBoards.com, AltMD.com and FitDay.com.5

And, since WebMD owns Medscape and MedicineNet.com, these sites now belong to KKR's Internet Brands as well.6 Internet Brands' CEO Bob Brisco told Forbes:7

"WebMD and Medscape are the market leaders in online health with unparalleled reach to consumers and health care professionals. Since its founding, WebMD has established itself as a trusted resource for health information. We look forward to delivering that resource to even more users, by leveraging our combined resources and presence in online healthcare to catalyze WebMD's future growth."

Herald Chen, head of KKR's technology industry team added, "The combined portfolio of leading vertical internet assets will be a powerful one." Indeed, according to Fast Company, "KKR is trying to corner the market on internet-based health information dissemination at a time when Googling random symptoms … has become … common practice." A 2016 Google blog post describes how it generates its symptoms' lists,8 acknowledging that searching for information on common symptoms can oftentimes lead to a descent into an information jungle fraught with frightening and rare health conditions.9

Virtual Doctoring Is All the Rage

In recent years, the internet and medicine have become increasingly intertwined, giving rise to "virtual medicine" and rampant self-diagnosing — a trend that largely favors drugs and costly, invasive treatments. Here are just a sampling of developments aimed at connecting consumers with various medical products:

Google has partnered with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), launching a depression self-assessment quiz which, like WebMD before it, funnels querents toward antidepressant drugs.10,11 Now, any time you use the search term "depression symptoms" in the Google search engine, you will find links to pages that purportedly help you "check if you're clinically depressed" through self-tests or quizzes.

While it may seem altruistic to raise awareness about mental illness, the "stop the stigma" campaign is actually funded and driven by the drug industry itself, under the guise of various front groups, of which NAMI is one. Nearly 75 percent of the organization's funding comes from drug companies.12

According to PsychCentral, evidence also shows that drug companies have instructed NAMI to "resist state efforts to limit access to mental health drugs" and "how to advocate forcefully for issues that affect industry profits."13

Google and other tech startups are investigating the possibility of assessing mental health problems using a combination of electronic medical records and tracking your internet and social media use.

Google now includes a sidebar listing with symptoms and recommended treatments for any health condition you enter into its search engine.

WebMD has partnered with Google Home to allow users to ask medical questions via the Google Home smart speaker.14

WebMD's joint business planning partnership with Reckitt Benckiser has produced a chatbot version of Mr. Mucus, resident mascot for Mucinex. Facebook advertising will promote the chatbot. According to Adage.com,15

"The chatbot is part of a growing artificial-intelligence [AI] effort from WebMD, an outgrowth of voice programs developed last year to work with Amazon Echo and Google Home. Perhaps sadly, Mr. Mucus doesn't actually engage in the conversation.

But folks looking up cold and flu symptoms on WebMD will be prompted by the chatbot to … ask any questions they have about the ailments, along with branded Mucinex queries about how to treat cough or congestion symptoms."

The chatbot also collects geographical data based on the queries, to predict the spread of disease. So, if a lot of people in a certain city or state start inquiring about cold and flu, alerts will be pushed to others in the area, prompting them to take preventive action — most likely by getting a flu shot or asking their doctor for a certain medication.

Google researchers claim they've created an artificial intelligence-equipped retinal scanner that can appraise your risk for a heart attack. Recent tests concluded the device was 70 percent accurate in identifying patients who would have a heart attack or other major cardiovascular problem within the next five years. More research still needs to be done though to confirm the results.16

Tobacco Industry Now Your Virtual Doctor?

What most people don't know is that KKR used to own tobacco conglomerate RJR Nabisco. As noted in the journal Tobacco Control in 1996,17 "After engineering a stock swap with Bordens [sic] in 1995, KKR no longer directly owns RJR Nabisco stock. This case study underscores the need for public health advocates to be watchful of the tobacco industry's efforts to control public access to news about tobacco."

The case study in question explored how KKR's ownership of Nabisco may have influenced tobacco-related news stories in the student newspaper Weekly Reader, after the newspaper was acquired by KKR. To this day, the Weekly Reader (now merged with Scholastic News Magazine18) publishes Current Events for sixth to 10th grade students.

The content of 182 issues of Current Events were analyzed — 71 of them published before KKR's acquisition of Nabisco and 111 published after. Only four of the 71 pre-acquisition issues featured tobacco-related news, compared to 12 articles in the 111 post-acquisition issues. According to the author:

"The content of tobacco-related news stories shifted after KKR's acquisition to portray tobacco as a 'forbidden fruit' that is attractive to teenagers. This was done by focusing on new policies and programs to discourage teenagers from smoking, the mythical threat of prohibition, and the supposed popularity of smoking, while giving relatively little attention to the health consequences of tobacco use."

In essence, while the stories superficially discouraged children from smoking, word choices and phrasing sent a subconscious message to the contrary. Now, this same tobacco-related company is gaining a vast internet platform where their messaging will have a huge influence on health and medicine. As the sarcastic saying goes, "What could possibly go wrong?"

WebMD Caught Creating Fraudulent Health Screen

It's worth remembering that WebMD has already come under fire over conflicts of interest, and in 2010 was caught providing users with a fake depression screening test. The test — in which 100 percent of quiz-takers ended up having a "high likelihood of major depression" and were directed to talk to their doctor about treatment19,20 — was sponsored by drug giant Eli Lilly, the maker of Cymbalta.

The quiz was really direct-to-consumer advertising masquerading as a valid health screen, and this is perhaps the most hazardous kind of drug advertising there is. Seeing an ad on TV or in a magazine is one thing — you can recognize that as marketing. But a test on a well-respected health site? Few would consider that such a test might be rigged, which is probably why it was done in the first place. With the tobacco industry now at the helm, I doubt WebMD's peddling of paid advertising as educational information will improve any.

WebMD is a great example of the brilliant marketing the drug companies are doing. The site appears to be an independent objective third party, but when you draw back the curtain, you find it's really the drug companies that are crafting the message and the recommendations.

It's also worth noting that WebMD is partnered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which virtually assures you will not learn about alternatives besides those approved by the FDA for your condition. This partnership further strengthens the promotion of sponsored drugs, and, by default, you will be kept in the dark about strategies that can make a real and lasting difference, and often cost very little or nothing.

Where Are We Headed?

The lack of independence among promoters and distributors of health information is of tremendous concern. When major health websites are paid by both industry and government bought by industry, there's little chance of getting complete and honest information. Add to that Google's monopoly and its subsequent influence on internet messaging about diet and medicine — not to mention its social engineering efforts — and the future looks rather grim indeed.

Google has also taken it upon itself to be an arbiter of "fake news," censoring information according to its own criteria of what is true or false. Needless to say, this makes it really easy for Google to censor information that isn't in its own best interest, including health and diet-related information21 (the company is actually leading the way toward the normalization of meat substitutes22,23).

According to a recent Campaign for Accountability report,24 Google has paid academics in the U.S. and Europe millions of dollars to influence public opinion and policymakers.25,26 This includes funding research papers "that appear to support the technology company's business interests and defend against regulatory challenges such as antitrust and anti-piracy." Some of these academics have not declared the source of their funding, even though payments have reached as high as $400,000. As noted by The Times:27

"On one occasion Eric Schmidt, Google's former chief executive, cited a Google-funded author in written answers to Congress to back his claim that his company was not a monopoly — without mentioning that it had paid for the paper …"

Music Technology Policy also published a long article28 last year describing how Google managed to install one of its own lawyers in the Department of Justice antitrust division, thereby protecting its own interests. As we look to the future, we also have Google's sights on artificial intelligence (AI) to contend with. Already, two large monopolies have joined forces to bring about the ultimate AI world.

As reported by The New York Times,29 Amazon and Microsoft are merging their voice-controlled digital assistants — Alexa and Cortana — to enlarge the capabilities of both by building on each other's strengths and abilities. Ultimately, the goal is to create self-learning AIs capable of imitating human thought processes. As for the use of AI's as diagnosticians of disease and "virtual doctors," there's really no telling what might happen.

Be a Conscious Technology Consumer

Google and its various divisions has turned into an octopus-like super entity with tentacles reaching into government, food production, health care, education and the creation of AIs that may run more or less independently. A key component of many of these enterprises is data — your personal usage data; the tracking of every webpage you've ever visited and every single thought you've ever written on a Google-enabled device, along with geo tracking tracing your every move.

Ultimately, that information can be used to subtly but powerfully influence your health care and lifestyle decisions. WebMD, now under the control of a company with tobacco industry ties that go back decades, also wields enormous influence over people's health decisions, and through its partnership with Google Home smart speaker, WebMD and Google are poised to become the go-to virtual doctor that is always available to answer any and all health concerns.30

Anyone who has spent even a small amount of time pondering the ramifications of Google's ever-growing monopoly over our day-to-day lives is likely to shudder at the possibilities. To minimize personal data leaks, boycott all things Google. As for WebMD, remember who owns them, and filter any information you get from them through that knowledge. Below is a summary of action steps you can take. For more information, see Goopocalypse.com's boycott Google page.

1. Sign the "Don't be evil" petition created by Citizens Against Monopoly

2. Avoid any and all Google products:

a. Stop using Google search engines. So far, one of the best alternatives I've found is DuckDuckGo31

b. Uninstall Google Chrome and use the Opera browser instead, available for all computers and mobile devices.32 From a security perspective, Opera is far superior to Chrome and offers a free VPN service (virtual private network) to further preserve your privacy

c. If you have a Gmail account, close it and open an account with a non-Google affiliated email service such as ProtonMail,33 and encrypted email service based in Switzerland

d. Stop using Google docs. Digital Trends has published an article suggesting a number of alternatives34

e. If you're a high school student, do not convert the Google accounts you created as a student into personal accounts
