I am sure Google will say “the algorithm broke down temporarily” but I am not buying it. As a guy who has 30+ years of programming, database administration, and network administration skills under my belt, I find this highly unusual.

When one considers how much cross pollination between the Obama administration and Google, and how the administration uses Google to promote its agenda, things really start to smell funny.

I call shenanigans.
