Wikipedia redefines 'recession' to resemble Biden's changes—then locks page to new edits

"Wikipedia changed the definition of recession to favor the Biden regime, and then locked the page," Mike Cernovich said on Twitter after having noticed the change.

Wikipedia changed the definition of recession on their website to fit the Biden administration's redefined language. Wikipedia then locked the page preventing individuals from updating the website, which is a tool that Wikipedia has long provided. The White House changed the definition of "recession" last week ahead of the release of Thursday's economic report, which showed that the US has had two consecutive quarters of declining GDP. This was the standard definition, but the White House declared that the definition should be tied more closely to unemployment numbers.

"Wikipedia changed the definition of recession to favor the Biden regime, and then locked the page," Mike Cernovich said on Twitter after having noticed the change.

On the Wiki page that provides the definition of a "recession," a message pops up when an attempt is made to edit the information, reading: "This page is protected to prevent vandalism."

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Men are women.
Women are men.
There is no inflation.
Inflation is transitory.
Inflation is good.
Our economy is the strongest in history.
We are not in a recession.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.

George Orwell just got the year wrong.

Actually we are in a recession with high inflation. This is Stagflation a la Jimmy Carter.

A stew with dog poop mixed in is dog poop stew even if all the other ingredients were high quality.

Wikipedia is and always has been full of stuff mixed with poop.

The bottom line is you have clearly demonstrated that anything in your WIKIPEDIA that is controversial is not to be trusted.

Wiki is very good for anything that is not political. If political it is pure Orwellian propaganda.

Newspeak.

To heck with those nasty, lying scumbags. We are in recession and anybody with two properly firing brain cells knows it.

It’s my tagline.

But I’m not sure even Orwell foresaw the sheer cravenness of this regime combined with 21st century media tools, combined again with the ability to give massive economic rewards and punishment as desired to ensure compliance and cooperation.

Anyone disagree, that this is Orwellian, to change the definition of what a recession is, so that Biden and the media and Democrats can claim this isn’t a recession?

I figured this out today. You see, it is something of a "rule" that you DO NOT raise taxes during a recession. Even Barak Obama knew that and has been quoted as saying such.

Biden and his Oval Office Idiots want desperately to raise taxes for all their "Green New Deal" crap. So, Voila!, we are not in a recession.
