    Whoever told you that lied to you. Google can remove it; contact Google to ask them to do that. But whether or not they will is a different matter.

    As suggested above, the best way to get the thing off Google is to start a new blog with the same keywords, and blog to it frequently.

    Hi there,
    Google clears their caches about every 3 – 6 months time.

    When NOT to use the URL removal tool
    The URL removal tool is intended for pages that urgently need to be removed—for example, if they contain confidential data that was accidentally exposed. Using the tool for other purposes may cause problems for your site.

    Don’t use the URL tool to get rid of pages in these circumstances:

    To clean up cruft, like old pages that 404. If you recently changed your site and now have some outdated URLs in the index, Google’s crawlers will see this as we recrawl your URLs, and those pages will naturally drop out of our search results. There’s no need to request an urgent removal.

    Got it! Thank you. The bullets below some up the email that was sent to me.

    * Google doesn’t own the web, and can’t remove content from the web.
    * The material indexed in Google’s search results are controlled by the webmasters of the sites that host it, and not by Google. Google cannot remove content from other sites on the web.

    P.S. Here’s a tip. If you start a new blog with the same keywords the way to push that deleted blog down, down, down in the Google SERPs (search engine page results) and off the front page is to become a content creation and publication machine. For a month post a new post every day or every second day and that sucker will be gone from view. If you have friends who will backlink to the new blog posts you publish in the new blog that will help immensely to accomplish the same thing. Call in all favors for backlinks and publish, publish, publish high quality content that will outrank the deleted blog content.
