A very strange email was sent out to website owners by Google just the other day, further proving that Americans are no longer allowed to speak the truth. The email reads as follows:

Dear Publisher,

Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war.

Please note, we have already been enforcing on claims related to the war in Ukraine when they violated existing policies (for instance, the Dangerous or Derogatory content policy prohibits monetizing content that incites violence or denies tragic events). This update is meant to clarify, and in some cases expand, our publisher guidance as it relates to this conflict.

This pause includes, but is not limited to, claims that imply victims are responsible for their own tragedy or similar instances of victim blaming, such as claims that Ukraine is committing genocide or deliberately attacking its own citizens.

Examine the content of this message.

Anything that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war is now verboten. Dismiss the notion of America entering World War 3 as a good idea? See ya.

The "condoning" part only applies if you're Russian. The final paragraph makes it very clear that unless you are condoning Ukraine, you are violating Google's new rule. (For the record, I don't like either side here.)

Also, this letter is as deliberately kept as vague as possible. Say anything that challenges the mainstream media narrative – even if that narrative has turned a 180 – and you’re now to be erased from the internet by means of hitting you in the wallet.

This impacts virtually the entire internet. 

Almost every ad network uses Google to serve ads. Not only is Google AdSense impacted by this decision, but nearly every major ad network that exists. The majority of the internet has just been hammered by Google – forced to comply with the mainstream narrative.

If you do not, then you risk losing one of your primary sources of income should you be a content producer online. While censorship of the internet via demonetization is nothing new (witness the de-funding of The Organic Prepper months ago due to the actions of a shadowy, globalist organization allegedly based in Great Britain),
