Breaking: Censorship Rides
Again - Wikipression
First Google deletes/blocks listings
from the top of search returns, now after two years an Administrator at Wikipedia
has removed the "Exopolitics" article. This from a
publication with huge articles on Britney Spears, the Incredible Hulk
and Mr. Ed (the talking horse). Efforts to get the article
reinstated were rebuffed, and essentially impossible, given the absurd
complexity of Wikiprocedures.
Wikipedia is a powerful concept. Six
percent of all netizens use it. It draws upon the collective
intellectual resource to create something with huge potential.
Sadly, in order to deal with attendant issues such as inaccuracy,
vandalism and malicious intent, operationally it has become an
impenetrable, incomprehensible labyrinth populated by
control freaks who rule over imaginary fiefdoms while hiding behind
screen names.
The Administrator in this
instance who deleted the "Exopolitics" article goes by the screen name
"Sandstein." His home in Wikiworld is located at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sandstein#Exopolitics
He has no knowledge of exopolitics, its history or the attendant issues
and his "decision" was derived from a mock consensus of a dozen other
Admins who know even less.
Google deletes the Open Letter to
Senator Hillary Clinton listings at or near the top of the search
returns going into the key Indiana and North Carolina primary elections,
which miraculously reappear a few days after the elections are over.
Now Wikipedia has deleted the "Exopolitics" article which had been in
place for over three years.
It is important to
understand that given the manner in which Wikipedia operates, it is very vulnerable to direct
government interference. A “consensus” of a few “users” is all that
is needed to remove an article which is not to the liking of some
element within government. "Administrators" can be planted and
affect content, block users and who knows what else.
In any event, every time
censorship of exopolitical issues by non-governmental entities takes
place PRG is going to point it out and name names. Truth embargos
remain in place because people and organizations not only believe
government propaganda, they step up to help enforce it. Neither government suppression
nor censorship by the likes of Google or Wikipedia will prevent the
inculcation of exopolitics into the mainstream or the end to the
truth embargo regarding a non-human intelligence engaging the human
race.
UPDATE (6/30): Administrator
"Sandstein" has responded to the challenge to Wikipedia in a predictable
manner. He blocked PRG executive director Bassett from being
able to post to the "Sandstein" page or to Wikipedia. He also deleted Bassett's Wiki User page. The basis for this? He
felt Bassett's User page was too much about, well, the User. They
delete articles, they delete Users. One is reminded of
Joseph Stalin's apparatchiks working in the Kremlin's back rooms erasing
"undesirables" from thousands of photos - making them disappear from
history. Wikipedia has acquired too much power to operate in this
way. It needs to change. |
