U.S. Intelligence Agencies Have Been Manipulating Wikipedia For Over a Decade, Says Wiki Co-Founder

16

For decades, my colleagues and I described, showed and documented the slander and libel Wikipedia doled as “facts.”  We were, of course, summarily ignored which gave these destroyers the green light to roll it out on an enormous scale. Unlike our truths, their lies are protected by the First Amendment. Now that the genie is out of the bottle, good luck reining it in. My page is one long lie. Slanderous garbage. Any attempt to correct is immediately purged.

Stop and ask yourself why Wikipedia became the go to online encyclopedia and not say, Britannica or World Book Encyclopaedia

US INTELLIGENCE HAS BEEN MANIPULATING WIKIPEDIA FOR OVER A DECADE: WIKI CO-FOUNDER

By: Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge,August 4, 2023:

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.

He described that US intelligence manipulation of the immensely large platform and repository of information had been going on for more than a decade (Wikipedia was founded and appeared online in 2001).

In particular, Greenwald brought up Wikipedia’s entry for the topic Biden-Ukraine conspiracy theory, and pointed out that “there is a mountain of evidence showing that Hunter Biden was paid $80,000 a month by Burisma executives.” It is an established fact that Burisma executives were “getting a lot in value in the way of access to Joe Biden, the most important US official on Ukraine,” Greenwald said. “And yet, according to the Wikipedia article, this evidence doesn’t exist, it’s just a complete conspiracy theory.”

“Remember, this is supposed to be an ideology-free, neutral encyclopedia”, Greenwald then quipped sarcastically.
