My Purpose for this Site
I've decided to host my own servers and to do all the setup and maintenance myself for hosting this site and other services. I've been working up to this for years with most of that time just having thoughts in passing about it. In the past couple months I put together the infrastructure. The servers, the software, the security, the maintenance tools the development tools, the backup tools and such to get it running. I also put together a plan to hold it together.

Did Google Manipulate Search for Hillary?
From the site: While researching for a wrap-up on the June 7 Presidential Primaries, we discovered evidence that Google may be manipulating autocomplete recommendations in favor of Hillary Clinton. If true, this would mean that Google Searches aren’t objectively reflecting what the majority of Internet searches are actually looking for, possibly violating Google’s algorithm. According to a research paper cited in this video, that kind of search result manipulation has the potential to substantially influence the outcome of actual elections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFxFRqNmXKg

Oklahoma Police Can Seize Your Entire Bank Account on a Traffic Stop Without Any Charges
From the article: The one state that has gone complete anti-democratic is Oklahoma. It is wise not to travel in that state at all. Oklahoma should be on a no-fly zone. Now, Oklahoma police can outright seize everything you have from debit cards to bank accounts on a traffic stop without any criminal charges being filed. If some policeman thinks you’re doing something illegal, your life is over. Without money, you cannot hire a lawyer and they can just rob everything you have on a whim.
