DISTRACTION - SOCIAL CONDITIONING

ON COVID:

"If you look at the articles that Wikipedia has, you can just see how they are simply mouthing the view of the World Economic Council or World Economic Forum, and the World Health Organization, the CDC and various other establishment mouthpieces like Fauci — they take their cues from them... There's a global enforcement of a certain point of view, which is amazing to me amazing to a libertarian, or a liberty-loving conservative."

~LARRY SANGER, UNHERD

Chances are, if you've ever been on the internet, you've visited Wikipedia. It is the world's fifth largest website, pulling in an estimated 6.1 billion followers per month and serves as a cheat sheet for almost any topic in the world.

So great is the online encyclopedia's influence is so great that it is the biggest and "most read reference work in history", with as many as 56 million editions.

HOW WIKIPEDIA ENTRIES ARE DISTORTED:

"There are companies like Wiki PR, where paid writers and editors will go in and change articles. Maybe there's some way to make such a system work, but not if the players who are involved and who are being paid are not identified by name — they actually are supposed to be identified by name and say `we represent this firm' if they are officially registered with some sort of Wikipedia editing firm. But they don't have to do that."

~LARRY SANGER, UNHERD

But the truth about this supposedly neutral purveyor of information is a little more complex. Historically, Wikipedia has been written and monitored by a community of volunteers who collaborated and contested competing claims with one another. In the words of Wikipedia's co-founder, Larry Sanger who spoke to Freddie Sayers on LockdownTV, these volunteers would "battle it out."

This battle of ideas on Wikipedia's platform formed a crucial part of the encyclopedia's commitment to neutrality, which according to Sanger, was abandoned after 2009.

WHY IS IT HAPPENING?

"Because there is a lot of influence. Wikipedia is known now by everyone to have a lot of influence in the world. So there's a very big, nasty, complex game being played behind the scenes to make the article say what somebody wants them to say."

~LARRY SANGER, UNHERD

In the years since, on issues ranging from Covid to Joe Biden, it has become increasingly partisan, primarily espousing an establishment viewpoint that increasingly represents "propaganda." This, says Sanger, is why he left the site in 2007, describing it as "broken beyond repair."
