Wikipedia: mob rule and the art of coordinated disinformation. ‘Wiki is one of the most popular websites in the world.  The average user has no reason to think the material it publishes is anything but true, and it has become the go-to authority for anyone looking to quickly educate themselves on a topic.  If information is wrong, surely editors are standing by to correct the record’.   ‘Our (PRN.FM) in-depth investigation has found that everything we’ve been led to believe about Wikipedia is a lie.  Scratch the surface of the ‘free encyclopedia anyone can edit’ and you find a finely-honed propaganda machine manipulated by experts and used to destroy the reputations of those who dare question the status quo’.   ‘Many areas of the encyclopedia are tightly controlled by ruling cliques operating with the blessing of Jimmy Wales, the co-founder and self-styled ‘benevolent dictator’ of Wiki.  Favoritism, rules enforced unevenly, pay for play editing, ideological hit squads, hundreds of factions conspiring to various degrees of secrecy to game the system — all this goes on with Wales’ blessing.’   This is a really good deep-dive on Wiki (it’s a long read).  The article goes on to talk about Wiki’s repeated abuse of their non-profit status, quid pro quo paid editing, political manipulation/bias (always in favor of the left of course), connections to the Clinton Foundation, shutting down/silencing dissenters and real scholarly inquiries, libel, possible lawsuits, etc, etc, etc.   Good read with tons of info, and 60+ additional links at the end.   Indeed we are living in some crazy times.  God bless everybody 🙏.   http://prn.fm/wikipedia-jaccuse/
