Wikipedia Lies

False Information on the Internet

BY JIM KARPEN

Imagine John Seigenthaler’s surprise last November whenhe read in an Internet encyclopedia that he was suspected of being involvedin the assassinations of John F. and Robert Kennedy. The article also claimedthat he had lived in the Soviet Union for 13 years.

This demonstrably false information about the 78-year-old former editorand publisher of The Tennessean newspaper was eventually found to have beena prank. But it had been online for four months before Seigenthaler discoveredit.

And when he did discover it, he wrote about it in USAToday and drew worldwideattention to the incident.

The encyclopedia in question, of course, is Wikipedia.

It doesn't matter if you change a wikipedia articles when they are false or keep silence about some facts. There employees keep changing them back tot the wiki propaganda instance. They claim objectivity but this is a lie to.

wiki is full of lies.....agritprop lies

I have a very strong feeling that wiki is led by Illuminaty agents for propaganda purposes only that are in line with secret agencies policies for shaping what they want to be as official policy. The lie is the norm on wikipedia.

If you want the truth about an subject especially when it has political of social or economical importance you won't find it on wikipedia.

Furthermore a lot of subjects don't have one "truth" due to absence of relevant facts or facts that are not real facts but circumstantial. And because opinions differ on certain matters.

Wikipedia is rotten. It stinks there is something behind it. Try to change a article that keeps silence bout certain things and edit it mentioning these things.
Within minutes sometimes seconds it's changed back again.
They try shaping the world and educational system according a program.

Wikipedia is evil try it out by editing something you will find out.
