Advance Praise for Google Leaks
Rarely do we get to glimpse inside the big tech companies upon which we rely for information. Zach Vorhies is an American hero who sacrificed his livelihood to warn Americans that instead of providing its users with neutral information based on search engine traffic volume, Google employs the most powerful thought manipulation algorithms ever devised to steer its users to outcomes that favor the companys self-serving mercantile and ideological ambitions.

For years we analyzed data because we saw wild unexplainable shifts in many metrics. It was only after Zach came forward with the hard internal document that named our very channel were our suspicions confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt. Suppression is real. Zach risked everything so that freedom of speech could survive. And for that America should be eternally grateful, because I am.
Gary Franchi, founder of Next News Network
Americans have always been taught that the threat to their liberties came from government. Zach Vorhies sacrificed his career to bring us irrefutable evidence that in twenty-first-century America, the threat to libertyan unprecedented threat to libertycomes from private enterprise, namely, big tech, which controls more information than any government except for those in totalitarian countries. Big tech increasingly censors and manipulates information like totalitarian governments do. Zach Vorhies book is the needed wake-up call to prevent totalitarianism in America. Its importance cannot be overstated.

Google Leaks is a dramatic expose of Googles totalitarian mission to censor its audiences, disseminate propaganda, and decide election outcomes.
Michael Rectenwald, PhD, author of Google Archipelago
While most people would have turned a blind eye and ignored the blatant suppression of the First Amendment by the Google technocrats, Zach Vorhies drew his line in the sand and stood on the side of truth, righteousness, and freedom of speech. Google Leaks uncovers the underbelly of the Orwellian censorship policies that are an integral part of Big Techs propaganda machine (that would have made Edward Bernays proud). We are so thankful for Zachs conviction and bravery. Hes an American hero, and this book will blow you away. Just read it. You wont regret it.
Charlene Bollinger, filmmaker, The Truth About Cancer
Zachs shocking revelations come at a crucial time for the world. At a time when the Oligarchy looks to control the worlds information, we now know with certainty Googles plan for us, and it definitely isnt full of rainbows and butterflies.
Ryan Hartwig, Project Veritas Facebook whistleblower and author of Behind the Mask of Facebook
Zach Vorheis has dedicated his life to transparency, accountability, truth, and the facts, which has enhanced every persons Freedom & Liberty.
Dave Janda, MD, social media influencer and Obama Care whistleblower
Zach is a rare breed of human. His story of self-sacrifice and internal struggle is a story of an American hero. The choice he wrestled withsacrificing his dream job to illuminate the evils of the worlds most powerful corporationwill go down as a pivotal moment in history. The public started to shift its adulation of the once Dont Be Evil company to seeing it as behaving in an evil manner. We cannot thank Zach enough for the service hes done and is continuing to do for the public good and right to know. And Im honored to know him and call him a friend and brother-in-arms.
Cary Poarch, Project Veritas Whistleblower, #ExposeCNN
Tech censorship has been the harbinger of doom for not only the public discourse but the livelihoods of political dissidents for over half a decade. As things get exponentially worse, its easy to forget the human element to the censorship machine. Not everyone on the inside is without conscience. Zach Vorhies story paints a compelling picture that reminds us that we neednt look only to politicians to fight the battle against big techa more immediate force can be found right under the oligarchs noses.
Zach McElroy, Project Veritas Facebook whistleblower
Zach Vorhies courage and service to humanity is inspirational! This is a man who could have chosen to sit back and collect a big paycheque working for one of the most powerful companies on Earth. Instead, he opted to forego his personal security in order to expose Googles manipulations to the world! I thank him not only for providing evidence of Googles power-hungry programmers, biased algorithms and censorship regime but also for inspiring others to come forward.
(Amazing) Polly St. George, social media influencer
What Zach brought forward changed the public debate on Big Tech and we at Project Veritas are grateful that we could be the vehicle for his bravery, knowledge, and conviction.

Its not so much staying alive, its staying human, thats important. What counts is that we dont betray each other.
George Orwell
Two decades ago, Google became the darling of Silicon Valley as a scrappy startup with an innovative way to search the emerging internet. That Google is long gone. The Google of today is a monopoly gatekeeper for the internet, and one of the wealthiest companies on the planet, with a market value of $1 trillion and annual revenue exceeding $160 billion.

Foreword
by James OKeefe
There are those in this life who dont give into threats and are not chasing after rewards. Zach Vorhies chose to follow his conscience, even if it led him past the gates of hell. He took on the most powerful company in the world, Google, from within. In doing so, he would not only educate people on Orwellian concepts of algorithmic unfairness, the greatest legacy from his whistleblowing would be to inspire countless others to follow suit.
