US FedGov Intelligence Has Been Manipulating Wikipedia (Creating DIS-Information To Mislead and Brainwash Users) For Over A Decade: Wiki Co-Founder

Excerpt:
"The co-founder of Wikipedia has revealed a bombshell concerning long-running suspicions of US intelligence interference and manipulation on the world's most well-known collaborative online encyclopedia. The site's co-creator Larry Sanger spoke to journalist Glenn Greenwald on his "System Update" podcast, and outlined the known "information warfare" efforts of US intelligence, which have to some extend make Wikipedia a tool of "control" by the left-liberal Washington deep state.
Some observers who have long watched and carefully documented US government involvement in major social media platforms as well as Wikipedia itself have commented, "the CIA Is running Wikipedia, Wow, what a shocker. Sanger asserted during Greenwald's show, "We do have evidence that, as early as 2008, that CIA and FBI computers were used to edit Wikipedia," before posing: "Do you think that they stopped doing that back then?"
Sanger explained that the intelligence agencies "pay off the most influential people to push their agendas, which they’re already mostly in line with, or they just develop their own talent within the community, learn the Wikipedia game, and then push what they want to say with their own people."
"A great part of intelligence and information warfare is conducted online," he added, and then specified: "on websites like Wikipedia." For that reason along with others explored in the interview, Sanger calls it "the most biased encyclopedia" in history."

A lot of it I knew, some new revelations were new to me. In all, very informative, nicely edited. As with so many documentaries these days, they need to turn down the volume of the music score. Very distracting.
Like so much of media, be it printed, broadcast or online, the C.S.'s at the c i a are driving the narrative.
At this point in our societies continual degradation into the cesspool of humanity, a turning point is being (or has been) reached: Trust no-one. The Media's track record of lies and deceit is complete.
If you don't question everything you hear and see, you are a fool.

Hint: You won't find a page on this world famous scientist in wiki. Why?
Wiki is worse than useless, it is the poster child of misinformation/disinformation.
Or so I thought. I couple of months back I had to cancel my recurring donation when I noticed the politics had worked its way into an article on chemistry. I was dumbfounded to find a blatant comment in the article. I immediately clicked {edit} and removed the offending prose.
Within hours it was back and I was issued a warning for bias / 'content not neutral'.
The next day I cancelled my automatic monthly repeating donations.
For decades, a so-called anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government's mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences.

For decades, a so-called anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government’s mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences. But on July 2, that came silently to an end with the implementation of a new reform passed in January. The result: an unleashing of thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption in a reform initially criticized as a green light for U.S. domestic propaganda efforts. So what just happened?
Until this month, a vast ocean of U.S. programming produced by the Broadcasting Board of Governors such as Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks could only be viewed or listened to at broadcast quality in foreign countries. The programming varies in tone and quality, but its breadth is vast: It’s viewed in more than 100 countries in 61 languages. The topics covered include human rights abuses in Iran, self-immolation in Tibet, human trafficking across Asia, and on-the-ground reporting in Egypt and Iraq.
The restriction of these broadcasts was due to the Smith-Mundt Act, a long-standing piece of legislation that has been amended numerous times over the years, perhaps most consequentially by Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright. In the 1970s, Fulbright was no friend of VOA and Radio Free Europe, and moved to restrict them from domestic distribution, saying they "should be given the opportunity to take their rightful place in the graveyard of Cold War relics." Fulbright’s amendment to Smith-Mundt was bolstered in 1985 by Nebraska Senator Edward Zorinsky, who argued that such "propaganda" should be kept out of America as to distinguish the U.S. "from the Soviet Union where domestic propaganda is a principal government activity."
Zorinsky and Fulbright sold their amendments on sensible rhetoric: American taxpayers shouldn’t be funding propaganda for American audiences. So did Congress just tear down the American public’s last defense against domestic propaganda?
Infogalactic.
http://www.infogalactic.com
It has the same format and much of the same content as Hoaxipedia, but its treatment of contentious political topics is shorn of the hard-Left slant for which Hoaxipedia has become famous, generally altering language to the neutral lingo that any respectable encyclopedia (which Hoaxipedia is not,) should have. A simple example would be a comparison of the Martin Durkin film "The Great Global Warming Swindle" and its respective writups by Hoaxipedia and by Infogalactic.
There are a lot of topics which still do not have Infogalactic entries, but that will change with time as the site is relatively new. (And as a pretty stark indicator of how far down the lunatic-fringe Leftwing rabbit-hole Orwoogle has gone, a search for Infogalactic there yields no results. None. I counted 109 links on an Orwoogle search for "Infogalactic" before I got the "Not relevant" notice, and not a one of them was the simple link to Infogalactic.com. Doing the same search on every other major search engine - Qwant, SwissCows, DuckDuckGo, even Bing and Yahoo - not known for their affinity to anything this side of loon-Left - brings up Infogalactic.com at the #1 spot at the top of the list. Orwoogle is apparently at war against reality.)
Looking for facts on anything more controversial than Elvis' birth and death dates at Hoaxipedia should be considered akin to researching virginity at a whorehouse. Or worse, looking for internet entities via Orwoogle. Do not engage. You have better options for fact-finding.
Something that ticks me off endlessly is precisely that search engine slant - the fact that Hoaxipedia is invariably given the top slots on any search on any given search engine, most disgustingly by search engines which claim to be "conservative" alternatives to the Google Borg and other far-Left-slanted search sites. As far as I'm concerned, Hoaxipedia entries are mandatory skip-over material, and search engines which claim to be impartial but still push that site's crap to the top of every results-list, are frauds.

Anything with a political leaning will be compromised. The level of compromise has risen stratospherically over the past 10 years.
