How Google Hides the U.S. Government’s Lies
I have encountered this so many times so that I’ll give today’s example in order to display how blatant it is:
I prefer generally not to read at X and other sites where posts tend to be user-hostile for skeptical readers (like I) who are constantly checking to find the original source for an allegation, but I just happened upon an X from Arnaud Bertrand, on August 18th, headlined from the World Bank “Military expenditure (% of GDP) – China,” and it showed China at a remarkably stable and low percentage of around 1.7% since 2010, during which time the U.S. empire have enormously increased their joint efforts to get Taiwan to declare independence from China so that the U.S. will have an excuse (though a false one) to invade and take control over China (like it has over EU/NATO countries, Japan, banana republics, etc. — the entire existing U.S. empire). The objective is to encourage and then get Taiwan to declare independence, at which point China will invade its province of Taiwan, at which point America will ‘defend Taiwan’s democracy’ by invading China — as-if the U.S. has any RIGHT to involve itself in China’s internal affairs. As Bertrand’s post at X said, “So there’s a LOT of dishonesty in this discourse and even more so when these folks tell you how certain they are about China’s intent behind that ‘buildup’: it’s essentially guessing why there’s a ‘buildup’ that’s their own constructed narrative, that’s what passes for serious analysis these days.” And it showed that World Bank picture, but I needed to authenticate what that picture showed, to look at its source, and so I Googled its headline “Military expenditure (% of GDP) – China” hoping and expecting there’d be a find from the World Bank, but instead got: “Your search did not match any documents.”
I then searched that headline at the other search-site I use, Yandex (go to yandex.com), which often finds things that Google hides; and, at the very top of the finds there, was the one from the World Bank, it’s at the top of
The World Bank’s article is at https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS?locations=CN. It is very informative, and basically gives the lie to the U.S. empire’s allegations against China as being an aggressor-nation (such as the U.S. itself is: the unchallengeable #1 on that).
