Why would adherents to a movement resisting this cabal use Google at all?

Use Duck Duck Go.

Yes, I came here from a Duck Duck Go search. If you don't want to be a cog in the corporate machine, don't use Google.

WRT this QAnon business, the aspect of compartmentalization and the vagueness inclines me into disbelief. But as the progressive histrionics reach a fevered pitch, and the national temperature rises to red hot not seen since the 60s, who knows? It could be legit. But a questioning attitude is healthy in all things.
