- SEJeff 7y agoProject Veritas has broken laws on several occasions, and also seems to attempt to entrap people. They tried to sell a Washington Post reporter a story about sexual impropriety from Roy Moore and then planned on outing the WaPo story as a hoax. I'd question literally anything from them as they go out of their way to entrap and falsify things up to and including breaking laws. Instead, WaPo taped the interview and did a series of stories on Project Veritas, and the things they're doing to try to smear the left. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/a-woman-approached-the-post-with-dramatic--and-false--tale-about-roy-moore-sje-appears-to-be-part-of-undercover-sting-operation/2017/11/27/0c2e335a-cfb6-11e7-9d3a-bcbe2af58c3a_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/a-woman-approa...
- zepto 7y agoOk - the messenger is bad. But are these documents real?
- allana 7y agoWho knows? The messenger has manufacured false documents in the past, which was OP's point.
- zepto 7y agoIt seems like if the documents are real then flagging this post is harmful. Bloomberg has published false and unretracted pieces, but we don’t flag them into oblivion - we evaluate each piece.
- Chris_Chambers 7y agoEntrapping liars to out them as liars is good.

- pcunite 7y agoInsiders at Google are losing their jobs to tell us something. Pretty big news.
- mudil 7y agoGoogle is an evil corporation that invades your privacy, monopolized internet and meddles in the democratic process. You can down vote me, but all these statements are true.
- gwbas1c 7y agoWould be nice if I could view these in the browser instead of downloading an app or downloading the document itself.
- driverdan 7y agoProject Veritas? Seriously? Are these from that Qanon and conspiracy guy who is claiming he was unfairly fired?
- cameronbrown 7y agoTruth or not, this is valuable information. I understand skepticism of Veritas but let people make up their own minds before removing it. Why flag? Edit: I really want these documents to be false, I do.
- pcunite 7y agoExactly, very creepy that this keeps getting flagged. Super interesting news about a company we wall work with. These are google employees and I want to hear what they have to say, and talk about it with all of you, my unbiased HN friends.
- colpabar 7y agoAll I want is a discussion.
- SEJeff 7y agoHere's a start, it is from Project Veritas, a known bad actor. The Google employee in specific has a history of Q conspiracy theories and anti-semitism. Neither of them seem very trustworthy. If it isn't very trustworthy, is it really news?
- repolfx 7y agoYes, it's real news. Firstly, you can go look at the docs. They're clearly real. In fact everything from Veritas that I've seen leaked has been real. Secondly, such a major leak from a formerly leak-proof ship is itself news. Thirdly, the fact that this thread is filled with attempts (probably mostly by Googlers) to smear Veritas and this guy is itself frankly very interesting. Lots of messenger shooting going on here. It reminds me a lot of WikiLeaks: you can't stop people viewing the leaks so desperately claim Assange is a rapist who probably works for Putin, WikiLeaks is a "known bad actor", Snowden is a traitor who ran to Moscow etc. I feel like I've seen all this before.

- imroot 7y agoThere's no option to view these on Linux -- no application and no browswer supports their NSAPI plugins.
- zepto 7y agoI see people flagging this and accurately questioning project veritas’ agenda. My question is - Are these documents genuine? Isn’t that that what matters?
- driverdan 7y agoContext also matters. Veritas has repeatedly and intentionally taken information out of context to skew the message.
- jakeogh 7y agoContext is irrelevent in regards to raw documentation. Claim it's fake or address it's contents.
- happytoexplain 7y agoWhat do you mean? That either the entire thing must have been fabricated out of whole cloth, or that we should assume it's entirely true and discuss the implications as though it were? Wouldn't the simpler explanation be that people believe that, given the source, there is a high chance that it's somewhere in the middle - i.e. skewed, misleading, spun, taken out of context, biased - and is therefore reasonable to not take as useful information until more context can be provided?
- jakeogh 7y agoI evaluate things independently. If you want to lump them together, that's your decision. He handed it to the DOJ, so odds are, we will not see google claiming anything is fake.
- idntfkngcare 7y agoGoogle shills out in force.
- ksbakan 7y agoFound this torrent for the same files magnet:?xt=urn:btih:221cedaadd3a04e21b7ef365a1dc37bf0908b88f
- jakeogh 7y agoNote to PV: PLEASE PUBLISH SHA3's
- thrill 7y agoThe complaints here about "the source" remind me of all the nonexistent complaints about cops not choosing upstanding citizens as their confidential informants.
- jaytaylor 7y agoMirror available here: https://goog-doc-dump.gigawatt.io/ https://goog-doc-dump.gigawatt.io/ Just a regular file download, no funky extra downloader apps necessary.
- kayimbo 7y agospoiler: this was extremely boring and stupid. Reading this, downloading the files and looking at them was a complete waste of time, this is a nothing burger.
- topmonk 7y agoExactly. An example of this, covfefe being translated to " ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄ in Google Translate as an Easter egg. This compromises the entire contents of the root folder named "Election Tampering" This is silly stuff
- temptemptemp111 7y agoHN's censorship is so telling! Basically anything globalists hate will be censored here.
