Yahoo! and Google Sponsoring Porn and Online Gaming

I wanted to show you an everyday example of the dangers of Yahoo! But you should note that this example applies to all websites.  Below is a recent article featured on Yahoo!'s homepage discussing Sandra Bullock's house.

It appears to be a valid story (although a waste of content) right? 

What harm could possibly come from this ad, other than a waste of a few minutes of your life?

If you click the link to read the story, you will see the page shown below (by the way, if you haven't noticed the new feature we have added, you can click on any image and it will become enlarged).

If you click one of the pictures of Bullock's New Orleans home, you will be routed to a blog hosted by Google.

Notice on the left side the advertisements for online casinos and sports betting. 

I have also shown these pages below. 

Finally, notice to the right an ad for some Pamela Anderson video; an ad sponsored by Google. 

It would appear that Google practices selective censorship. You cannot criticize its customers (those who buy ads) but you can promote pornography.

Now I know that this example has reminded you of other instances you have seen in the past that might have been buried in your subconscious. The next time you read an article, check to see what ads are there. In many cases you are likely to be disgusted.

You might want to especially focus on articles geared towards teens and other nonsense pieces. Yahoo! has been posting more of these useless articles and disguising them as news stories as a way to sell ads to teens and others who don't quite have it all together upstairs. 

Now I want you to stop and think for a minute about how many millions of teens read the feature article on Bullock on Yahoo!'s front page and who might have clicked the pictures of the house to try and get a larger image.

How many do you suppose were introduced for the first time to online gaming, or who were enticed just enough to open an account? 

I consider Yahoo! to be involved in online gaming because they are promoting this trash one way or another. As one Yahoo! employee replied to me when I questioned what was going on with their selection of "experts,"...

"the rabbit hole goes much deeper than you can imagine."

Of course, similar to televised networks that lease out air time to anyone who has the money, both Yahoo! and Google continue to promote Robert Kiyosaki and others.  There are thousands of scammers who buy ads to promote their swindles; guys who want to sell you a sure stock trading system, etc.

When these individuals or gaming companies buy ads from established websites, they are leveraging their brand name. They are in effect partnering with these websites.  In my opinion, that makes Yahoo! and Google partially liable for any damages.

Yet, Washington has not enacted laws which hold them criminally liable. Hell, they rarely even go after the scammers.

This is just one more sad reality of America. 

Over the past twenty years as millions of jobs have been sent overseas (with the help of Washington), it has been Washington that has facilitated the growth of scams and casinos, whether they are in the stock market, forex, lotteries, casinos, or online gaming.

Only just a few years ago it was difficult to find an online forex or futures trading website. You had to really jump through hurdles to open these gambling accounts.  Today, they are everywhere you look. And the media promotes this trash in many ways, whether by interviewing sheep positioned as currency experts (I will be doing an article on one of these individuals) or by advertising. 

Some might say they have a right to promote and advertise their business. I would say Washington has failed the public once again. 

Where there were once good jobs, you now have Indian casinos. You also have lotteries available in every state. You have poker being disguised as a network television show late nights, despite the fact that it's really an infomercial. They show hot girls and glamorize a bunch of bums who have no skills whatsoever, making it appear to be a sexy thing to do. These guys play stud poker! That's 100% luck!  You see, if you want to market something, the easiest way to attract the biggest crowd is to make sure the biggest idiot can succeed.

The youth is being sucked into this vortex just as they were decades ago with cigarette ads and actors smoking in movies. Teens are involved in stock trading as well.  It's so disgusting for me to see this I cannot express it in words. 

Much of America's economy has been transformed into a huge casino. Washington has permitted gambling as a way to substitute for lost jobs. If you take a look back 30 years ago, you had no online gambling, very few Indian casinos, very few lotteries, very few get-rich-quick infomercials and so on.

Right around when the dotcom bubble was imploding, Washington was considering a ban on online casinos. However, lobbyists from the online gaming industry sent loads of money to buy off politicians. As a result, it was permitted (some of you might want to research this and get the details, as I am citing this episode from memory). 

The exact same thing happened with the online porn industry shortly thereafter.  It's amazing how Americans have not insisted that all lobbyists are banned. That would be the single biggest step that could be taken to restore America.

This entire scam industry as I call it is enormous today. It's most likely a multi-trillion industry not counting the stock market.

Yet, few bother to question this or demand an end to these scam businesses which do nothing but rob Americans of what little money they have remaining.  

As a result, America has become transformed into casino capitalism largely without notice.
