CIA moderating Wikipedia – former editor
thepressunited ^

Posted on 08/02/2023 3:07:14 PM PDT by Rattlesnake_Snook

Wikipedia is one of many tools used by the US liberal establishment and its allies in the intelligence community to wage “information warfare,” the site’s co-founder, Larry Sanger, has told journalist Glenn Greenwald.

Speaking on Greenwald’s ‘System Update’ podcast, Sanger lamented how the site he helped found in 2001 has become an instrument of “control” in the hands of the left-liberal establishment, among which he counts the CIA, FBI, and other US intelligence agencies.

“We do have evidence that, as early as 2008, that CIA and FBI computers were used to edit Wikipedia,” he said. “Do you think that they stopped doing that back then?”

Started realizing everything had a spin left.

This is what many of us have suspected for a long time.

If this was 1975, Frank Church would be questioning the director of the CIA:

DO YOU HAVE ANY... PEOPLE... THAT MODERATE WIKIPEDIA?

I remember this story breaking a few years back. Since then, foreign governments have been holding seminars on how to infiltrate as a wiki editor and subvert it from the inside.

Is there really any question that government employees have too much time on their hands? The things they do maybe real assignments and they might even put in overtime to work on those assignments, but the crap they do does not help the American taxpayer. The entire federal government needs to be cut so much that anyone remaining employed is yelling and screaming that they can’t do everything they are assigned. These scumbags need to be kept yelling and screaming until priorities are changed to only doing the most essential tasks. We’ll know they are really being overworked when they quit because it’s too much to handle.

Obviously, some agencies need to be completely eliminated. I’m throwing a party when the news is filled with the plight of unemployed government employees. That’s a sign that we are on the offensive and can start winning for a change.

There was a list of words that Freepers posted back in the day, that was a compilation of all of the words that might trigger an “alphabet agencies” terrorists search alert.

That list needs to be added to as many Wikipedia spots as possible.

One way to beat CIA censorship is to stick to foreign language wikipedia.

Since none of these clowns meet their foreign language requirements.

I use Wikipedia if I am looking up something like “The War of the Spanish Succession 1701-1715.” Its a safe bet deep-state/CIA has no fish to fry over something like that.

Otherwise, anything regarding a 20th century or later American/European/Russian/Chinese political issue or event - forget it. Wikipedia is crap. too propagandized.

For a clear example search Anneke Lucas.

The DS is attempting to scrub her from history. And the whole Belgian elite pedophile ring that was exposed in court with convictions.

All the more reason not to trust them as a source.

For those not aware, search for her on Wikipedia. You’ll be directed to a page about... yoga (under the heading “Positive Criminology”). I looked and the notice Wikipedia put up is still there: “This article was nominated for deletion on 20 December 2016. The result of the discussion was merge to Positive criminology.” Why? Well, they say not enough supporting sources. The truth? Think we know...

Meanwhile in Oregon, a man kidnapped a woman and held her in a cinder block cell. She escaped.

Makes sense, being that 2008 was the year the CIA’s homegrown non-NBC POTUS candidate emerged from his chrysalis to be sanated on Tuesday January 6, 2009 and immaculated/coronated/canonized the following Tuesday January 20.
