"Wikipedia is one of many tools used by the US liberal establishment and its allies in the intelligence community to wage “information warfare,” the site’s co-founder,Larry Sanger, has told journalist Glenn Greenwald.

Sanger lamented how the site he helped found in 2001 has become an instrument of “control” in the hands of the left-liberal establishment, among which he counts the CIA, FBI, and other US intelligence agencies.

“We do have evidence that, as early as 2008, that CIA and FBI computers were used to edit Wikipedia,” he said. “Do you think that they stopped doing that back then?”

Activity by the CIA and FBI on Wikipedia was first made public by a programming student named Virgil Griffith in 2007. Griffith developed a program called WikiScanner that could trace the location of computers used to edit Wikipedia articles, and found that the CIA, FBI, and a host of large corporations and government agencies were scrubbing the online encyclopedia of incriminating information.

CIA computers were used to remove casualty counts from the Iraq War, while an FBI machine was used to remove aerial and satellite images of the US prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. CIA computers were used to edit hundreds of articles, including entries on then Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, China’s nuclear program, and the Argentine navy.

Some edits were more petty, with former CIA chief William Colby apparently editing his own entry to expand his list of accomplishments.

“[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 [intelligence] community, learn the Wikipedia game, and then push what they want to say with their own people,” Sanger told Greenwald.

“A great part of intelligence and information warfare is conducted online,” he continued, “on websites like Wikipedia.” ..."

Alfred de Zayas:

"Imagine the outrage in the world, if Serbia were to attempt to reincorporate Kosovo by force, as the Ukrainians pretend to reincorporate Crimea.  Why not ask the populations concerned?"



Good point. I did:

WAS YOUSEF PALANI INVOLVED IN GROUP TERRORISM? IS THERE A COVER UP? & HOW MANY TERRORISTS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED IN IRELAND?

By Suzie D.

A few things are striking about the case of #YousefPalani, aside from the deeply disturbing nature of the crimes. Firstly, the trial date was pushed back. Was the state desperate to get a guilty plea (in exchange for some undisclosed benefit)?

The (very late) guilty plea means the families are spared a trial (but also denied investigative details). However, it also serves to avoid detailed disclosures about the unspeakable torture of the victims; and IF Palani was involved in terrorist groups, a trial would ensure the public would be made aware (obliterating remaining support for unvetted immigration).

Palani has, time and again, been referred to as a "lone wolf". They're pushing that narrative exceptionally hard, despite it being obvious he was at least inspired to use an Islamic extremist modus operandi. He was undeniably a radical. Then we hear €250,000 euro was found in his home...said to be "unlinked to criminality." What 23-year-old has legitimately accrued that kind of cash?

Many details (and lack thereof) don't sit right, and if locals’ claims are true that he disappeared abroad for a few months prior, then serious questions need to be asked.

Where did he go and what did he do? Who did he have contact with before, during, and after? Where did the money come from? What was he planning to do with it? What do his communications show?

Between 2017 and 2021, there were 30 jihadist related arrests in Ireland, compared with 1 in the previous 5 years (and many more are under surveillance) Most arrests were for financing terrorist groups. Some were individuals who made donations, some raised money from others. This is cause to question the €250,000 in Palani’s possession. Was he involved in Jihadist activities? Raising money to finance terrorist groups? Had he received money for that purpose?

Many arrests in Ireland for terrorism financing do not result in convictions. It's difficult to prove monies donated were terrorism related. In other words, it's often unprovable that the money was... "linked to criminality".

In 2018 one man was "successfully" convicted in Ireland of being involved in an international fundraising operation. Agent of the Islamic State Hassan Bal, 26, with an address in Waterford, organised the collecting of cash through his "network of couriers", and he smuggled to it to Syria. He faced 20 years but instead was sentenced to 30 months. At the latest he was released in 2021. Where is he now? There are no reports of deportation and no reports of arrests or convictions of his courier accomplices.

If offenders are sent to prison, the Irish Prison Service has no deradicalisation / counter-extremism programme. In any case, such terrorists should be deported. It is almost impossible to deradicalise terrorists.

Ireland now has a specialist terrorist unit since 2014, the Garda Counter-Terrorism International (CTI) unit monitors Islamic terrorism threats. In recent months the only "extremism" Drew Harris seems bothered about is the Irish mythical "far right".

This article is not intended to tar all Muslims. But we must have conversations about Islamic related terrorism. After all, it has the potential to affect everyone (including Muslims). We must become proficient at reading between the lines (when deciphering carefully controlled news), and while we may not always speculate correctly, it is necessary to ask questions in a time of great deceit (case in point: the HSE sabotaged the investigation into the Nigerian nursing home rapist). The state knows this, hence the hate speech laws.

Officially extremism is on the rise in Ireland, and as it rises, the level of transparency around it will decrease.

We will never know if Palani was involved with group terrorism. But it's vital we have the conversations we are not meant to have. Now, more than ever.

Well said my dude 👍

This is the closing paragraph in my 2021 Thesis for my Masters in Strategic Studies, titled "contemporary attitudes to NATO in a resurgent Russia" Over 30% of the populations of the former Soviet states are comprised of Russian
speaking and Russian-identifying people. Regardless of their political persuasions, their cultural
integrity is firmly embedded in a Russian identity. This Russian diaspora has demonstrated its
resilience through centuries of trials and tribulations, feudalism, monarchical wars and
communism. It has suffered immensely and disproportionally at the hands of invaders from
Genghis Khan to Adolf Hitler, and yet it still prevails and, indeed, flourishes. Pragmatism is a
central tenet of the modern Russian psyche, and it is doubtful that any Russian Government
would act contrary to its own best interests when it comes to matters of international security or
the integrity of Russia’s territorial possessions. This reality should be borne in mind when
Russian attitudes to NATO are judged as too cynical or suspicious. The fact remains that it is
clear that today's Russia has demonstrated her willingness to act decisively, even when subjected
to economic isolation, contrary to the perceived wisdom of the Western powers. From Ukraine to
Syria, the decisive actions of a resurgent Russia have sent a signal to NATO and the West that
isolation of this re-emerging Eurasian superpower is counterproductive and strategically foolish.
Russia’s current foreign policy suggests that it has evolved into a significant world power while
NATO still struggles with its identity and is unable to satisfactorily define its global role. It
seems that German Statesman Otto Von Bismarck got it right when he said, “The secret of
politics? Make a good treaty with Russia”.

Sovereignty for Ukraine but not for Ireland, @MichealMartinTD ?

Can I interest anyone in a brave new BBC TV series which depicts an Irish woman who had her child removed after being enslaved in the Magdelene Laundries in 1998, but who overcomes her ordeal after befriending a Garda diversity hire who himself is a victim of the racist, misogynist patriarchal system?

The social engineers don't seem able to do subtlety any more.
