Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is the New Shadow-Banning
Defining The Terms
Before we can get into how Google, Silicon Valley, and their FakeNews allies are using Latent Semantic Indexing as their latest weapon against Free Speech, it helps to look at the term to better understand what it means. What is “Latent Semantic Indexing?” I asked Google to break it down for us, and here’s what Google told us.
Latent
Google tells us that “latent” means, among other things, “Hidden or concealed.”

la·tentDictionary result for latent
/ˈlātnt/
adjective
(of a quality or state) existing but not yet developed or manifest; hidden or concealed.
Semantic
Google tells us that among other things, the word “semantic” has a connotative meaning in advertising or political propaganda to achieve a desired effect on an audience especially through the use of words with novel or dual meanings.
1: the study of meanings:a: the historical and psychological study and the classification of changes in the signification of words or forms viewed as factors in linguistic developmentb(1): SEMIOTICS(2): a branch of semiotics dealing with the relations between signs and what they refer to and including theories of denotation, extension, naming, and truth2: GENERAL SEMANTICS3a: the meaning or relationship of meanings of a sign or set of signsespecially: connotative meaningb: the language used (as in advertising or political propaganda) to achieve a desired effect on an audience especially through the use of words with novel or dual meanings
Merriam-Webster Definition Of Semantics, Via Google Search
What kind of effect might Google desire to have on its audience, given its history?
Indexing
According to SearchMetrics.com, one of the Google results for “Indexing,” the term describes:
It is the source data in Google’s index that ultimately determines the value of different search terms and keywords.
https://www.searchmetrics.com/glossary/index/
So, according to a Google Search, Indexing as used here in the meaning of “Indexing,” or the automated cataloging to be presented to you when you use Google Search, is Google’s process of assigning value to each piece of information it may or may not present before you.
This means that Google is not merely using your preferred search terms to find something related to what you type in. Google is assuming the role of news editor in determining what stories “make the cut” for you to read. This means, when you log on to Google, you are ceding to Google the role of “Gatekeeper” for what your mind’s eye will allow you to see when you conduct a Google search.
Like the FakeNews, other known as the legacy media – you know, print, radio, and television, Google presents itself as an objective conveyer of information. It doesn’t ask you – would you like your results skewed in favor of the political presuppositions of our programmers? No, you just type in something related to what you are looking for, and you trust Google to author your “news” – what’s relevant to you – based on what you type in. However, this is not a strictly objective, mathematical ranking whereby Google finds articles similar to what you are looking for.
As we see here in the definition of indexing, just like the old editor of old FakeNews outlets like CBS-Owned WBZ Radio in Boston where I wrote stories – Google is taking an active role in making value judgments, or news judgements. I’m here to tell you that Google’s been burying the lede on you, and all Americans. That’s because Google’s News Judgment is based upon faulty presuppositions about America, and her foundational faith, Christianity. But we’ll get to that.
Definition Of Latent Semantic Indexing
So if Google tells us that latent means hidden or concealed, semantic means words intended to have a propaganda-like influence on the audience, and indexing means Google’s process of judging the value of words, let’s put all that together. Latent Semantic Indexing may be defined as the following: Google’s systematic process of judging the value of words with the intent to propagate a hidden or concealed effect on the audience, which is whoever conducts a Google Search.
“Banning A Way Of Talking” – Twitter Engineer
Silicon Valley’s nerdy ideologues and their fakenews allies aren’t going to give up the battle for their anti-American mistruths without a fight. First, Silicon Valley, like the FakeNews, sought to obliterate God, Jesus Christ, Donald Trump, and everything American through the process known as Shadow-Banning. But since shadow-banning has been exposed thoroughly, Google and its tech-firm allies are now colluding to block and demoralize patriotic, American-loving citizens another way manifested in the Web producer trend toward “Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI).”
Historical Context Of Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI)
Basically, Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) works like this. Whereas Shadow Banning prevents your posts about “Jesus Christ” and MAGA from being seen, Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is shadow-banning in reverse. In other words, it’s Google’s more overt way of coercing producers of SEO-optimized content to publish anti-Christian, anti-American content. Before we compare the two, let’s review what Shadow-Banning is, and the consequences, particularly as I have experienced them personally.
What Is Shadow-Banning
Twitter and all of the leading Silicon Valley firms have already been exposed as blocking ideas that they disagree with in a practice known as “Shadow-Banning.” In the shocking video bombshell from Project Veritas, Twitter Thought Engineer Stephen Pierre describes shadow-banning as “ban(ning) a way of talking.” (His official title is “Software Engineer.”) The end result is clear: if you support America, or America’s President, or the Bible, or particularly, authentic masculinity and femininity/traditional marriage, you’ll notice that for some strange reason, people stop reading your Twitter posts.
I experienced shadow-banning first-hand when I was fired from Brookstone in 2009 because of my Christian beliefs. Everybody except some fringe groups agree that Brookstone was wrong for firing me which is why they’re not in business today. Yet when you search for America’s Man’s Man’s name in Google, to this day, you only get the most vile, hateful search results, despite the fact that the majority of commentaries and articles written about me are positive and supportive. Why? Because my Christian, American beliefs are considered by Google to be “hateful,” just as James Damore’s attempts to have a discussion at Google were deemed as “hateful,” and so he was famously fired.
The Ideological Echo Chamber
Ironically, at the time of my hateful firing, all of my supporters in the faith community were characterized by Google’s pet Web pages of being part of some vast right-wing echo chamber of unthinking ideologues. However, since then, as we’ve seen, the real unthinking, unhuman “echo chamber” operates with a speed and effectiveness that mere humans are incapable of. The real inhuman, anti-Christian “echo chamber” bumping up views on all the hateful articles about me, was and is a system of algorithms designed to stifle truly American, truly faith-based points of view. The purpose? To bury the real story of my Christian beliefs, in the same way that the FakeNews has historically buried the lead.
The motives for this systematic, machine-amplified bias are two-fold: (1) to reassure the Silicon Valley ideologues of their false beliefs about human nature and the world they live in – and – (2) to reap a profit from advertisers trying to make a quick dollar off the Web sites. The first reason is much more personal to those who oil Silicon Valley’s thought-banning machine, and so that’s what I’m focusing on here, as the First Amendment is vastly more important than the less sinister mercantile motivations of those trying to make a quick buck off of the demise of American free speech by Silicon Valley censorship.
Speech Control Is Anti-American, and Anti-Human
Traditionally, America has not looked upon organizations looking to censor a “way of talking” in a favorable light. That’s because when you censor a “way of talking,” you inevitably censor a “way of thinking.” This has, historically, been the stuff of Marxist regimes, and the practice of banning certain types of “offensive speech” continues in a myriad of free nations across the world. The practice of censorship has long been viewed by patriotic Americans as immoral and contrary to the American way. After all, society naturally corrects truly malicious ways of speaking. However, there is nothing natural about the Silicon Valley ideological echo chamber. Its shadow-banning of certain words, and outright de-platforming of people I know whom it disagrees with, is as systematic as the trains that carted Jews off to concentration camps during the Second World War.
In other words, attempting to control speech using machines is Anti-American, anti-Christian, and all around bad stuff on the basis that it defies the dignity and sovereignty of the human person in America, a nation where we pride ourselves in our rugged individualism which is close to the heart of American enterprise and innovation. It’s this sovereignty of the Individual who believes in God, rather than the sovereignty of the state, which separates the American enterprise from lesser governments like socialism, which our President rightfully promised in the State of the Union we would never, ever fall prey to.
Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI)
Since Google and Silicon Valley was called out on its Shadow Banning, it is rolling out a new kind of “artificial intelligence” that it claims better predict what internet searchers are really trying to find. However, this is not the true aim of the new artificial technology. The end result is quickly shaping up to be a slew of Web pages which amount to total mobthink. Why? Because Google maintains its monopoly on Web search. And so all of the Web content developers wishing to use the Internet to market anything are forced to pander to what Google wants to see on their Web pages. In other words, in a surprisingly audacious, yet sinister move from Silicon Valley, Google is now telling Web sites what to write, what to say.
Gone are the days when Google, Twitter, and Facebook merely Shadow-Ban or de-platform content authors whom they disagree with, like yours truly. Just try finding my index page on LinkedIn on Google. You won’t.
“They’ll Think What I Tell Them To Think!” – Citizen Kane
Actually, in the case of Google, it’s more a case of, “They’ll write what we tell them to write.”
Instead of Shadow-Banning, Google and it’s sly allied Web tech firms that produce Web content are again audaciously colluding to passively aggressively shadow-ban in a new way. Rather than actively block sites like my index page above – though they continue to do that – instead, Google is flooding its search results page – much like a New York Times article, or another Fake Newspaper article – is burying what real Americans actually want to read – like my index page, which logically, by links, should rank the highest of anything on there.
Google is now dictating, however indirectly, however connivingly, through its ideologically-aligned, cerebral tech-firm buddies in the Content Development arena, to take part in the new, reverse shadow-banning process known as Latent Semantic Indexing. The general idea is that instead of blocking a someone who tweets #MAGA, instead, Google is quietly “suggesting” through its search results, and even through the immediate suggestions that show up when you type in a search term, what it will favor in its search results.
The Evidence
We’ve covered Google’s motives for telling America what to think, and dictating to America’s Web Content Producers what to write. Now, let’s look at some blatant manifestations of this growing trend in Google telling the Web what it expects of Web firms – lest Google use its monopoly to bury said firms to complete obscurity.
Google couldn’t exercise its monopoply without the help of a very dedicated niche industry whose job it is to convey the new rules of “SEO,” or “Search Engine Optimization,” to all those Web sites at Google’s mercy, just as conservatives once feared themselves to be at the mercy of the Fake News. Remember, the Google Search Results page is merely the new newspaper for most Americans, who read it like an endless Newspaper article, written in “Pyramid Format,” as journalism students would tell you. Most important things at the top, and then implicitly less important “news” (i.e. search results) as you read further down through the article, or in this case, thousands of pages of search results. The only difference – instead of burying the lede, Google buries what benefits its viewer the best. You know, the ones that don’t fit into Google’s anti-American, anti-human ideological worldview.

Avoiding Latent Semantic Indexing
To review, the definition of latent semantic indexing is:
latent semantic indexing: Google’s systematic process of judging the value of words with the intent to propagate a hidden or concealed effect on the audience, which is whoever conducts a Google Search.
Facing Goliath
It may seem intimidating at first trying to speak freely when it seems like Silicon Valley giants control the entire internet. You may not like my first suggestion, particularly if Google is your go-to for everything. However, this is a suggestion I use myself. It does take a little added effort, but it will help you wean yourself off the big, hairy Google monster pretending to be your unbiased search friend as the FakeNews of old once did.
Under President Donald J. Trump, America is breaking the ultimate shackles of FakeNews, and even though New Media like Google is infinitely more sophistocated, we must have faith as a people that we will be free from the information tyranny of this mammoth monopoly. This goes for all the FAANG companies (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google) and their sycophantic tech company allies.
Avoiding Censorship Requires Effort
Remember having to look things up in the library? I have great news for you. You don’t have to resort to the old system of using actual index cards in the library – at least not all the time. But you are going to have to go out of your way a little, with the understanding that the purpose is to avoid the poison Google is feeding your mind whenever you run a Google search. In other words, there’s just a little bit of pain involved, but this extra effort is much less painful than the pain the FAANG companies and their allies will exact from you if you continue patronizing these companies and their anti-American way of life.
You can still use Google as a last resort when you don’t find what you’re looking for. After all, Google has successfully developed what television programmers call “habit forming.” You’re so dependent upon your gmail, your Google search, and YouTube that you can’t imagine life without it. This is by design. Going cold-turkey is much more difficult than using the patch. And we’re going to offer you several “patches” here to help you do what Google does for you now. Again, they may take a little longer to help you accomplish your goal, but they do not enslave your wallet, your attention, and your intelligence as Google and the other anti-American FAANG companies do.
If nothing else motivates you to take the extra effort to protect yourself from Silicon Valley censorship, remember: Silicon Valley is filtering everything you read with a hidden agenda. They’re tracking everything you do. They’re even monitoring what you’re watching on your Smart Television, and recording audio in your house without explicitly asking you in many cases. If you believe their lie that this all somehow benefits you, think again. You need to avoid all companies that don’t respect your privacy. When you patronize the FAANG companies, and their allies America loses.
Alternatives to Google and the FAANG Companies
Before turning to Google for your searches, try these instead, which operate outside the Silicon Valley Ideological Echo Chamber whose ultimate end is to profit at your expense. I’m taking suggestions to add to this list; feel free to contact me via my social channels, and if it is truly beneficial to the end user, I will add it here.
Here are some more trustworthy companies to patronize for your free internet needs, with much lower chance of censorship than you encounter with the evil FAANG companies:
- SEARCH: DuckDuckGo http://DuckDuckGo.com
- DOMAIN REGISTRATION: Epik http://Epik.com
- SOCIAL NETWORKING: Gab http://Gab.ai
- PAYMENT PROCESSING: 2nd Amendment Processing https://www.secondamendmentprocessing.com/
We know, it’s a Wild West of an internet, with all the major Silicon Valley firms and their greedy allies trying to censor America at every turn to make a quick buck. But with a little persistence, a little prayer, and some good old-fashioned rugged American individualism – the kind that the Bible adage “Iron Sharpens Iron” runs on, America will prevail over the Marxist ideological trolls. We real Americans will outsmart the keyboard jockeys behind the real unthinking, unfeeling ideological echo chamber of Silicon Valley.
The truth is, real people’s lives are ruined when the New Media, and their highly-sophisticated streamlining of the old FakeNews mudslinging goes unpunished, by hitting the American people faster than we’re able to respond for lack of the same fancy tech tools that Google’s keyboard jockeys have. But like the FakeNews, Silicon Valley and the New Media will also be held accountable.
In the same way we are now refusing to be bullied by the contentious FakeNews, we refuse now to be bullied by the pharisees appropriating authentic human discussion with technology and systematically swindling the American people at every click, every voice command, as a means of liquidating this exceptional nation’s great many blessings, resources and values.
