When Texas intervened to protect
vulnerable children against transgender child mutilation, Google was one
of the companies to sign a letter warning that preventing child abuse
was "against the values of our companies."
A recent lawsuit provides a small insight into just what the Big Tech giant’s “values” might be.
Recently a former Google employer filed a lawsuit accusing the company of discrimination.
“I
was fired from my team there in February of 2021 because I raised alarm
about a cult within Google, a group called the Fellowship of Friends.
The group is well-documented: There are allegations of child abuse,
human trafficking, forced abortions, and rape within the group,” Kevin Lloyd, a former video producer, blogged.
“The
cult’s members dominate my former team at Google through favoritism and
cronyism, not to mention direct payments back to the cult.”
When Lloyd complained, he was told to keep quiet or lose his job, and then he was finally fired.
Like
so many California establishment figures, from Nancy Pelosi to Governor
Newsom, the Fellowship of Friends has its own winery. But it also has a
deeply troubling history that includes allegations of sex trafficking and forced abortions.
From Jim Jones to Scientology, cults have been a cultural feature of leftist life in California.
Former
Gov. Jerry Brown, along with Harvey Milk, also accused of preying on
underage minors, former Vice President Walter Mondale, Senator Dianne
Feinstein, and former Mayor Willie Brown, who gave Kamala Harris her
start in politics, were all fans of Jim Jones.
The murderous
Marxist cult was able to operate for so long because it was protected by
the highest echelons of California Democrats.
Rep. Karen Bass, now running for mayor, was disqualified as Biden's presidential pick over her support for Scientology and for lying about it.
The
Fellowship of Friends is a good deal more obscure, but it fits neatly
into the mold of California cults that promise enlightenment through the
teachings of a guru. What it actually offers, according to former
members, is something much more troubling.
A journalist covering the cult described being told about "sex rituals" in which its leader, Robert Earl Burton, would allegedly "attempt to have sex with 100 followers in a day."
A
San Francisco Chronicle story discussed allegations of "Eastern
European ex-members who said they received religious visas to come out
to California, only to learn when they arrived that sex with Burton was
an unwritten part of the deal."
Burton’s preference was for young men whom he included in his “male harem”.
In a seeming foreshadowing of the transgender movement, the cult leader reportedly believed that he was a “goddess in a man’s body” and allegedly “made it almost necessary for all men & young men to perform sexual favors for him.”
One lawsuit filed by a man who was 17 years old when he joined the leftist cult mentioned the cult leader boasting that "one hundred boys would not be enough."
Another former cult member describes being pressured to join the cult leader's "male harem" and then ordered to abort the baby he had conceived with his high school sweetheart.
Still
another described hearing that Burton, the cult leader, had "asked
married women not to have kids and if they already did to give them
away", while a cult figure was "persuading pregnant women to have an
abortion 'to follow the will of the Teacher"'.
A former member
described her husband being told "that we had missed an opportunity to
oppose our Catholic upbringing by not having an abortion."
Google is denying any connection to the cult and its abuses, but Lloyd describes a troubling atmosphere in the company.
When he brought up the issue with his manager, he was told, “Let’s go off campus.”
Google, like Facebook and other Big Tech companies, is notorious for the cult-like surveillance of
employees on its compounds or campuses. Some workers have reported that
their personal phones were wiped when they fell afoul of the Big Tech
giant. Others worry that the monopoly, which is behind the Android
mobile operating system, can spy on them through their devices.
Lloyd's
manager told him that he was "horrified" by the cult's foothold in
Google, but that "complaining could lead not only to the loss of his
job" and that the department's cult figure was a "powerful guy".
The
former Google employee "heard of new members regularly being added" and
"saw how existing members excelled, further boosting the status of the
Fellowship of Friends within our department. Conversely, it seemed the
Fellowship members who were on the outs with the group were made to
leave."
Google had become a cult.
“Why are you telling me this?” HR people told Lloyd. “Don’t tell me this.”
"Google knows about this problem," Lloyd concluded.
"Managers know full well that a destructive cult, a group credibly
alleged to be involved in the sexual abuse of possibly hundreds of
followers, including children, has significant influence over an
important team within the company. Yet they turn a blind eye."
Google
covertly removed its old motto, "Don't be evil", from its corporate
code of conduct. If the allegations are true, its corporate conduct
shows why that’s no longer on the books.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Burton formed his
cult "while living in a Volkswagen bus in Berkeley" by "convincing a
circle of followers that he possessed the powers of a superior being."
Followers
were told that only Burton and those who served him are actually
"immortal conscious beings" while the rest of us are the "walking dead"
who needed to cut ties with their families.
It's not hard to see
why this mindset would take root inside Silicon Valley Big Tech
companies where technocratic arrogance and megalomaniacal delusions of
grandeur have convinced some that they represent a cultural master race
destined to dominate the economy and the planet.
Much like
Burton, Big Tech companies seek out young men, thoroughly exploit them,
taking over their waking lives, and then drop them when they get too
old. During this heady period, Googlers are immersed in cult-like
attitudes, frantic shows of cultural virtue signaling, and outbursts of
hate against outsiders, especially Republicans and conservatives.
At the Fellowship of Friends, cult members were banned from saying, "I", instead being forced to say, "It wants a cup of coffee."
This dehumanization is what Big Tech companies are inflicting on America and on the world.
In
its letter denouncing Texas for protecting children from abuse by men
who, like Burton, believe that there is a “goddess” in their bodies,
Google claimed that Texas violated its “values”.
These are Google’s values.
