FYI- Google told me to beware of your message. It might be a scam. That's the first time I saw that for your email alerts...You should be proud of yourself. You struck a nerve🤣

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

Thank you so much, AD, and you are the third person who's told me this! I just posted a Note about this and am requesting screenshots for my dossier documenting the escalating erasure and targeting of my Substack:

https://substack.com/@margaretannaalice/note/c-146123251

If it's not too late to capture the warning, would you be able to add a screenshot to that thread?

Also, if you could let me know which country you're in (or your VPN shows), I'm trying to determine whether this is occurring at a country or global level. So far, I've received reports from the UK and Canada and am especially curious if it's happening in the US.

JollyLittlePerson's avatar

Same for me. I'm in the U.S.

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

Thank you for adding to the dossier, JollyLittlePerson!

Claire's avatar

MAA, I also got the *warning* in my email ( laptop, but I took a photo).

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

Thank you so much for helping me document this targeting, Claire!

AD's avatar

I'm in NJ in the US. I received the alert around 4pm Eastern time.

Thank you for letting me know, Jesse! I'm both furious and proud 😆🤬😎

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

Oh, which country are you (or is your VPN) in?

Thank you *so* much for confirming it is happening in the US, too, which I was especially curious about. That suggests to me it is global. Now I'm wondering if it's happening with other email providers (universal blacklist) or limited to Google.

FYI, no problem in Proton land.

I am soooooooo happy I am not in "The Club" as that would make me a perpetual anal fissure which I am not! Also content not to have that kind of money bc that makes one a purulent boil on the bottom that refuses to rupture. I will fight til the end and will not comply. Two words to consider, Got God? Remaining a apocaloptimist as you are MAA:}

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

Haha, I Apocaloptimistically agree, Lori! 👊🙌✊

Lori's avatar

I learned the word from one of your previous posts and have spread it like wildfire ever since giving you all the credit!

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

I am thrilled to hear that, Lori! I wish I could take credit for coining it but at least can say I authored the Apocaloptimist Manifesto :-)

Lori's avatar

Yes you did and I read it! They all will be defeated someday further on which comforts me. We all must stay vigilant and ready for whatever comes and fight if needs must. This beautiful world is worth fighting for when it is against those that are evil incarnate.

Sanity Jane's avatar

Oh yeah, I saw this before and absolutely love all his (B for) Banging! tracks. And your words too, it goes without saying.

Visceral Adventure's avatar

Damn, that Lukas Lion’s got game!!

Margaret, I’m sorry, I’m envious of your word knowledge. I had to look up several of those words. And those are just the Bs! 😩

john cyril preston's avatar

That list of words with links..amazing discipline.. many bows to you...xj

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

I appreciate your attentiveness to the poem, john, as it got lost amidst the censorship flurry! I was worried it might come across as too simple, but you recognize the amount of work that went into distilling the control grid to its essence and then linking to supporting evidence, so thank you for noticing 🙏

Steve Martin's avatar

Bullseye Margaret!

Particularly echoes of the Ponerology Substack in that last paragraph.

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

So glad you appreciated it, Steve, and I have had the Ponerology book on my to-read list for years now!

Steve Martin's avatar

Good to chat with you again Margaret.

I found the book a bit of a slog, with annotations sometimes being more interesting than the main text ... but the plusses still outweighed the minuses in opening me up the correlation between concentrations of economic / political influence and psychopathy.

Although we both understand the value of original sources, Harrison Koehli's Ponerology Substack covers some really good contemporary researchers that I find even more readable and relatable. If it weren't for the time lag between Japan and his zoom meetings, I'd love to join in and share my experience with Japanese 'dark triads'. There is a good reason why Reporters Without Borders consistently ranks Japan's 'Freedom of Press' as mid-pack at best. 🧐

Been making use of another 'Anna' which you probably already know about ... https://annas-archive.org/slow_download/8f4b21da3885e1946fa80e2ddb64f39c/0/0

It's great touching bases with you again Margaret.

Take care, and keep up the good fight!

Gmail marked the email notification for this post as "dangerous content."

I had to go to desktop browser agent to mark it as safe to be able to click the link to get here.

must be over the target, that's the first time it's done that to your page since I subscribed way back when

//edit after reading other comments

location: America. and can't screenshot because I nulled the danger flag. can't post images to regular substack threads anyway and any "notes" I've posted replies to were strictly by accident

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

Thank you so much for your diligent reporting and for marking it as safe, SomeDude! I'm hoping if enough people mark it safe, the algorithm may correct this "mistake," but that's hoping a lot considering it's very likely Mistakes Were NOT Made ;-)

SomeDude's avatar

pretty sure since nothing in the content matched the warning message that this situation was deliberately initiated by a human rather than algorithmic "protection."

I did subcontracted Google search result rating from 2019 to 2022 for slightly over Missouri's minimum wage. it started as rating high for results which would directly meet the user's needs. a little into the scamdemic that metric's importance was greatly reduced in favor of "authoritative" "agrees with government, industry, and 'expert' positions" and "not from 'misinformation' URLs specifically including substack."

I got reduced evaluations for nerfing their results by using the original standards and refusing to mark unapproved sites as toxic. eventually I couldn't rate many results because their new standards were too low to not make me want to vomit, and had to quit.

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

Wow, thank you for this fascinating inside intel, SomeDude, and bravo for demonstrating moral courage and badassery!

John Cary's avatar

Hi no warning on Yahoo, I'm in Cambodia. Seems you've really hit some nerves, great keep on swinging 😊

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

Haha, thank you, John!

JBK's avatar

I got no such message from google....I do use google but my mail is Apple/Safari as the browser. Would that be why I got no message of scam with the email?

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

Thank you for letting me know! Mills Baker of Substack said in his reply to my Note (https://substack.com/@margaretannaalice/note/c-146138738) about this:

"People not using Gmail’s web interface won’t have this issue, which is one reason why we push the app incidentally." (https://substack.com/profile/11256580-mills-baker/note/c-146147734)

SomeDude's avatar

lordy, their apps are bloated, privacy violating and awful.

I web interface everything I can instead of apps. the exceptions are things I'm forced to do business through with apps only.

I mentioned in my first comment that the mobile web interface flagged the email and wouldn't let me click anything (I didn't test the unsub link, I'm sure they'd have allowed that one,) but the desktop web interface allowed me to override the flag and then everything acted normal in both interfaces.

The fundamental misuse of power through federal reserve Banking by one Family... the Rothschilds who through this monumental scam on paper own 10 times more than the rest of the world combined is at the core of all problems.

Through this scam they created Blackrock Vanguard and State street finance Freemasonry and Judaism.

Jews do not pay for money... they get their money free.

And through this fact they are able to feed a system of systematic Corruption... nearly all Politicians are corrupted by them Jews... and are as such able to undermine Democracy in such a way that it really is a Jewish Dictatorship of Jewish Fascism with central Banking as a weapon against Humanity.

So only they become Billionaires who suck on the right toe...

Only those who follow the party line of Globalist Communism.

Thank you for reporting in, KellyG! So far, this seems isolated to Google, but I suspect that won't be the case for long.

Boris Sarmat's avatar

There are no warnings about your emails on Proton Mail, which is where I receive them.

So G00G is the main culprit so far.

Thank you for assisting with my data collection efforts, DefCon-Dan!

That's exactly what happened over a year ago when Google AI-erased all links to my Substack articles across all searches. Almost all hide engines draw their results from Google (including the purportedly independent Brave), so thousands of relevant links disappeared in one fell swoop. Duck Duck Go was the only one returning relevant results—until last February, when I caught it in the act of mass-deleting all links to my Substack. See this Note for more details:

https://substack.com/@margaretannaalice/note/c-146150647

SomeDude's avatar

ddg started using google indexes years ago. they were OK for a while.

ixquick (became startpage) is the same way.

used to use yandex until their CEO ran from Russia to israhell.

the only American based major search engine I've found that censors /less/ is brave...

they bring up lots of results for your name

https://search.brave.com/search?q=Margaret+Anna+Alice

Margaret Anna Alice's avatar

Yandex is what I’ve been using since it’s the only one that passes the MAA litmus test but is still not great.

While Brave is bringing up results for my name, notice not a single one is for my Substack or any of my articles. This is exactly the pattern I identified at Google and every search engine I checked after I discovered that erasure last year. They include my Substack profile in some cases but not my actual Substack or any articles.

My Substack used to rank first for searches like “philanthropath,” “Mistakes Were NOT Made,” and any of my article titles. Now, if you search “philanthropath” at Brave, for example, you will see my Substack does not appear in the first page of results, even though my three-article series used to dominate the rankings:

https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-philanthropath-dreams

https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-philanthropath-dreams-947

https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-philanthropath-dreams-3fd

The clearest indicator of shenanigans in this case is that the fourth result at Brave is a plagiarization of my “Anatomy of a Philanthropath” poem by a Substacker named Mark Hopkins published on January 11, 2024 (my original series was published on June 24, 2022, and used to rank first because it was the first use of that term).

The post has 3 likes as opposed to the 389 likes, 158 comments, and 66 restacks on my first article in the series. His plagiarized post only has 1 comment—mine pointing out that he plagiarized my poem. Mark has 63 subscribers; I have nearly 45k.

This is the inverse of relevant results and is why I have taken to calling these hide engines.

SomeDude's avatar

your main substack page is the 4th result under that search link I posted... at least, on my device.

philanthropath alone does bring up the plagiarized link among other non-substack references to your article. adding your name first, your substack article is the 9th result with two higher substack results from other authors linking to yours.

even before the scamdemic, I had to tweak searches carefully by not only choosing the right keywords but the order they go in, and nowadays that's even more of a requirement to get anything decent out of the engines.

I rarely use yandex anymore due to the israhell connection. sometimes it'll show things that US government blocks on other engines but it's nowhere near as useful as it was six years ago.

I am so glad you did that because that is actually a huge change just in the last week or two. For over a year, typing the title of any of my articles returned zero results at my Substack. I wonder if it's only showing up briefly because it was just published and hasn't been disappeared yet?
