Let’s add it up: Google a blatantly Liberal entity, is found to have tons of sensitive data archived on its site, and seems to be using the robots.txt files to sniff out where that sensitive information is hidden. Why would they want it, and what do they plan to do with it? The last election was pretty dirty and stuff was being dug up left and right. Could Google be building a “dirt chest” of secrets to unload during the next election?

Read the rest of the post leading up to this conclusion and see what you think.
