Sharyl Attkisson is one of the top journalists operating in America today. She has fearlessly investigated the “vaccine deep state” and was fired from the corporate-run media for daring to report truths about vaccines.
Her latest investigation takes an in-depth look at Wikipedia, the “free encyclopedia” that has been overtaken by bad actors and special interests (such as the GMO industry, vaccine industry, Big Pharma, etc.). “It’s become a vehicle for special interests to control information,” Attkisson writes. “Agenda editors are able to prevent or revert edits and sourcing on selected issues and people in order to control the narrative.”
So why does Google, DuckDuckGo and every other search engine (including Facebook) rely on Wikipedia to provide information on millions of topics? Because Google, in particular, knows that Wikipedia is controlled by bad actors who push “official” narratives on everything from vaccines to chemtrails.
Attkisson recently published a must-read story that exposes how Wikipedia has collapsed into a disinformation / propaganda hub run by corporate interests. Her full story, reprinted below, is found at SharylAttkisson.com.
Sharyl is also the host of a highly-recommended broadcast journalism show called Full Measure, carried by the Sinclair network.
“Wikipedia is…broken,” controlled by special interests and bad actors, says co-founder
by Sharyl Attkisson, via SharylAttkisson.com.
I’ve done quite a bit of reporting about how Wikipedia is definitely not “the encyclopedia anyone can edit.” It’s become a vehicle for special interests to control information. Agenda editors are able to prevent or revert edits and sourcing on selected issues and people in order to control the narrative.
My own battle with Wikipedia included being unable to correct provably false facts such as incorrect job history, incorrect birth place and incorrect birth date.
What’s worse is that agenda editors related to pharmaceutical interests and the partisan blog Media Matters control my Wikipedia biographical page, making sure that slanted or false information stays on it. For example, they falsely refer to my reporting as “anti-vaccine,” and imply my reporting on the topic has been discredited. In fact, my vaccine and medical reporting has been recognized by top national journalism awards organizations, and has even been cited as a source in a peer reviewed scientific publication. However, anyone who tries to edit this factual context and footnotes onto my page finds it is quickly removed.
What persists on my page, however, are sources that are supposedly disallowed by Wikipedia’s policies. They include citations by Media Matters, with no disclosure that it’s a partisan blog.
Another entity quoted on my Wikipedia biographical page to disparage my work is the vaccine industry’s Dr. Paul Offit. But there’s no mention of the lawsuits filed against Offit for libel (one prompted him to apologize and correct his book), or the fact that he provided false information about his work and my reporting to the Orange County Register, which later corrected its article. Obviously, these facts would normally make Offit an unreliable source, but for Wikipedia, he’s presented as if an unconflicted expert. In fact, Wikipedia doesn’t even mention that’s Offit is a vaccine industry insider who’s made millions of dollars off of vaccines.
Meantime, turn to Dr. Offit’s own Wikipedia biography and– at last look– it also omitted all mention of his countless controversies. Instead, it’s written like a promotional resume– in violation of Wikipedia’s supposed politics on neutrality.
These biographies are just two examples of ones that blatantly violate Wikipedia’s strict rules, yet they are set in stone. The powerful interests that “watch” and control the pages make sure Offit’s background is whitewashed and that mine is subtly tarnished. They will revert or change any edits that attempt to correct the record.
This, in a nutshell, exemplifies Wikipedia’s problems across the platform as described by its cofounder Larry Sanger.
Sanger recently spoke to 150Sec. The following is an excerpt:
Reading a Wikipedia entry about Wikipedia itself seems strange. But where else on the web would an average internet user go for digestible, encyclopedia-style content?
With its entries almost always topping Google search results, Wikipedia receives around 33 billion page views per month, according to studies carried out by thinktank Pew Research in 2016. In line with statistics from the website itself, it also changes at a rate of 1.8 edits per second and the number of new articles per day averages 578.

The multilingual free online encyclopedia was established in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, originally under the name of Nupedia. It is now the fifth most popular website in the world.
150Sec spoke to one of Wikipedia’s original co-founders, Sanger who — despite leaving the project in 2002 — shared his thoughts on online knowledge platforms on today’s internet, ahead of this month’s Pioneers conference in Austria.
As an open source, Wikipedia can be added to or edited by anyone in the world through knowledge base websites called wikis, which allow users to collaboratively modify content. However, Sanger claims that this has become one of Wikipedia’s biggest downfalls.
In its early days, “Wikipedia itself had special challenges,” he explained. “One was simply to teach everyone who arrived at the wiki, which was basically a blank bulletin board that could have become whatever we wanted it to become, that we intended to build an encyclopedia. A lot of people didn’t seem to know what that meant, or maybe they just didn’t care,” he said.
“Wikipedia itself had special challenges,” Larry Sanger, Wikipedia co-founder.
“Another hurdle was to figure out how to rein in the bad actors so that they did not ruin the project for everyone else. Unfortunately, we never did come up with a good solution for that one,” Sanger added.
“Wikipedia is a broken system as a result,” he said.
It is this flaw that has earned Wikipedia its reputation as an often untrustworthy source of information, particularly during times of discussion around misinformation and ‘fake news,’ a term which Sanger finds problematic.

Some time ago I used Wikipedia to find out about a diabetes-causing drug named Nagalase that I have good reason to believe was used to murder a friend of mine. Recently I revisited the page to refresh my memory, and the previous data is gone. All that remains are three paragraphs giving the impression that Nagalase is both natural and harmless.
The page for Alloxan, another diabetes-causing drug, has yet to be as badly censored, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.
I dumped Yikipedia right after 9/11 when I saw that they were absolutely full of rotten baloney on the subject of 9/11 and many others… They are a yet another disgusting
bunch of demented criminals with no respect for truth, intelligence or honesty.
From the above article:

Memo reveals Soros-funded social-media censorship plan

From the article:
“The recent wave of censorship of conservative voices on the internet by tech giants Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Apple mirrors a plan concocted by a coalition of George Soros-funded, progressive groups to take back power in Washington from President Trump’s administration.”
Voltman:
“Progressive groups”?
Is banning the truth being progressive?
“President Trump’s administration”?!!!
What administration?
Do you mean the Liars for israHell?
The ones who signed their pledge of allegiance to israHell?
The Warshington Warmongers? The Brainwashington Bullshit Regime?
Back to the article:
“A confidential, 49-page memo for defeating Trump by working with the major social-media platforms to eliminate “right wing propaganda and fake news” was
presented in January 2017 by Media Matters founder David Brock at a retreat in Florida with about 100 donors, the Washington Free Beacon reported at the time.”
Revised by Voltman:
“A long list of unlawful dirty tricks for silencing the voices of truth was handed over to the cartel of data miners known as JOOGLE, JOUTUBE, facegook, Twatter, RottenApple, etc.. The plan is to squash the resistance and promote BS propaganda and fake news. It was presented in January 2017 by Media Tatters founder David Crock at a crook gathering in Florida with about 100 bribers, the Washington Free Bacon reported at the time.
There, I fixed it.

===============
“Media Matters must grapple with the effects of decaying journalism and ensure that truth triumphs in the information ecosystem – not only as a means to combat
misinformation but because it’s necessary for our embattled democracy to survive.”
As you can see, the truth will triumph but only if we get rid of Trump and the Republicans, and the alt-right, and the conservatives, and the truthers, and all the other fascists, nazis, white supremacists, holohoax deniers, climate change deniers, miscellaneous heretics, 9/11 skeptics, anti-vaxers, whatever…
So sleep tight, everything is under kontrrôll.
Our embattled democrazy will survive…

Back to the Free Bacon article:
“The memo spells out a four-year agenda that deployed Media Matters along with American Bridge, Shareblue and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
(CREW) to attack Trump and Republicans.”
There’s gonna be a war between The Shitheads and The Dumbasses. That could be good if they could only annihilate each other in a blaze of illuminating glory!
Of course The Shitheads don’t call themselves shitheads, they call themselves, get this….Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
The Dumbasses haven’t yet found a name for themselves…
But I’m sure their cheerleaders will eventually come up with something better than “alt-
right”…maybe…hopefully…{{{smiles}}}
Yet again, no mention of the Jews in any of this, which is cowardly and unforgivable!.
Wikipedia claims its articles are based on a “neutral point of view” but as it is human beings writing the articles, of course the contents quickly have been mixed up with politics. For instance organization like the CIA have tried to affect the entries (see BBC:s “Wikipedia ‘shows CIA page edits’ “), and big companies try to control the information on themselves. And Israel and its army of “cyber-soldier” Jews from all over the world are now doing the same…
The Wikipedia project now has control of student research on the Internet.
The situation is that the majority of subjects Googled will show Wikipedia as the top – or one of the first top results – and thus Wikipedia will get the majority of the hits.
And is Google, this Internet search-engine is well in the hands of Zionist Jews and also cooperates openly with Zionist organizations such as ADL and the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) to control the searches and censoring information and certain sites.
This means that apart from Wikipedia other sites may be censored when Googling any given subject.
From all the available information it appears Wikipedia was started by two Jews, one a programmer, and the other an ‘Adult Site’ operator. The origins are in a project called Nupedia launched in March 2000 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger.
The Jew Jimmy Wales (actually James Wales, or also known as “Jimbo”), with riches from his time as an options trader, became an Internet entrepreneur and decided to create a free, online encyclopedia. He recruited the Jew Larry Sanger, who was finishing a Ph.D. in philosophy at the Ohio State University – whom Wales knew from their joint participation in online mailing lists and Usenet discussion groups – to become the paid editor in chief. Wales’s company Bomis, an Internet search portal and a vendor of online “erotic images” (featuring the Bomis Babe Report), picked up the tab initially.
The Jewish computer programmer Ben Kovitz is the one who suggested to Larry Sanger, Nupedia’s editor-in-chief, to transfer the online encyclopedia to a wiki support. Larry and Jimmy Wales accepted and from that time, Wikipedia took over Nupedia and became a huge success.
Larry Sanger, one of the two recognized cofounders, is openly Jewish. In their ramblings of what different famous Jews are doing, The Jewish Chronicle mentions Sanger in an article “Larry Sanger… creates a new Wikipedia”, The Jewish Chronicle, 26 October 2006, p. 10.
What more proof do you need, huh!
