If you use Wikipedia, you’ve seen pop-ups like this. If you’re like me, you may have donated as a result.

Wikipedia is an amazing website, and the appeals seem heartfelt. But I’ve now learnt the money isn’t going where I thought…

The organisation which administers Wikipedia – to whom the money goes – is the Wikimedia Foundation Inc. Wikimedia is a San Francisco non-profit with 400 employees – which has exploded in size in recent years. ...

Wikimedia gave $250,000 to Borealis's Racial Equity in Journalism Fund. That money was then cascaded down to a dozens of ideologically aligned news outlets across the US. pic.twitter.com/wo5VdgUWgi

Dump Wikipedia!


So they donate your donations, all the while rolling in cash.

To block the Wikipedia donation nagging elements is pretty easy with Brave. I had some screenshots of how to do it but can't find that comment now. Basically, right-click on the nagware and click "block element". The nag element will never show up again.

Contribute to DARPA so DARPA can continue its wonderful pilot programs to be deployed against the population and the Constitution. DARPA is there to make sure you never have free thought or action again, the most important informations and history are gaslit, and vivid lawfare and selective justice punishments exist against anybody who dares tread the portals of truth.

Defense? They turn all their efforts inward to crush the people on behalf of the foreign occupied foreign city state of Washington DC.

My internet experience has really improved since I stopped using Wikipedia and instead read the articles they crib from. There are lots of good reference sites, many with personality. I used to donate $100 a year because I didn’t want them to have to rely on advertisers, the way I used to donate to my local public radio (NPR affiliate) station. I got an email recently from Jimmy Wales urging me to donate again to keep Wikipedia independent. He said “Wikipedia is different in that it doesn't belong to the highest bidder, the advertisers, or corporations.” Yeah right.

People who want to inform you do it for free. It's a mission for them.

You see this information device in front of you? It was a mission. You have all the information of the planet in front of you, if you'll make the effort to find it. There are people who have a drive to tell you the truth, because lies are detestable. Nothing good comes from a lie and there's lots of people who recognize that.

I second this, have to make the effort to find the truth.

Almost every example for modern or Renaissance era "Malingering" implies bias on the part of Society, except one where a tranny gets away with faking a disease to get hormonal treatment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malingering

If I edited it, it would say "Fibro My Ass, Gia" as an example of modern malingering. The disease with a plethora of symptoms and undetectable by any chemical or biological test.

After seeing Rachel Levine, the Talmud retracted its 'six sexes intersex' position and replaced it with the proposition that the human race is a unisex slime mold.

Intelligence agencies have been manipulating the online encyclopedia for more than a decade, Larry Sanger has claimed

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.

Speaking on Greenwald’s ‘System Update’ podcast, 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.”

Earlier this year, X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk released a trove of documents showing how the platform’s former executives colluded with the FBI to remove content the agency wanted hidden, assisted the US military’s online influence campaigns, and censored “anti-Ukraine narratives” on behalf of multiple US intelligence agencies.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also admitted that Facebook, the biggest social media platform on Earth, censored accurate information that was damaging to President Joe Biden’s 2020 election campaign at the direct request of the FBI.

Contribute information.

No "reliable sources", just facts.

See? They actually aren't political and state facts

You have to abandon what is promoted. What is promoted is always propaganda.

At least they mentioned corruption in passing.

They acknowledge it was a coup.

I may add to that article.

I wanted to know when I was in my 20's, and I now realize this is a terrible burden. Our government through their coup in Ukraine had led to 300,000 deaths or so for Ukrainians, and, nobody believes it was a coup. It's a country of only 25 million people. 1/2 of them are fighting on the Western side, and there's no real conflict. They are just getting killed, and there is no hope of them "winning", and even if they do win, it's just to be subservient to another corrupt group of assholes.

Stupid war, stupid sociopaths our "people" allow to run the nation. I'm disgusted by everything.

The Wikipedia fundraising scam. Wikipedia, and its parent organization Wikimedia, has been making the rounds on Twitter. This seems to be because Chris Rufo is attacking the new CEO of NPR (US public ‘radio’), Katherine Maher. It turns out that Maher previously served as the CEO of Wikimedia. This got a lot of people looking into her behavior there, and this brought up the Wikipedia fundraising scam into the limelight. It’s another anti-European (and anti-USA), anti-male, quasi-Marxist organization. This is what your donations to Wikipedia are going to. Wikipedia spends more money on left-wing causes than actually running an encyclopedia, and by a very long-shot.

‘Stop donating to Wokepedia’ – Musk

The tycoon has slammed the Wikimedia Foundation for spending over $50 million on ‘Equity’ and ‘Safety and Inclusion’

‘Stop donating to Wokepedia’ – Musk‘Stop donating to Wokepedia’ – Musk

Elon Musk has urged internet users to stop supporting Wikipedia over what he sees as disproportionate spending on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts.

In a series of posts this week, the billionaire owner of Tesla, Space X and X vented his frustration over the online encyclopedia’s financial report, which showed that it spent more than $50 million of its total $177 million – or almost one-third of its 2023-2024 budget – on such goals as ‘Equity’ and ‘Safety and Inclusion’.

More than 90% of the platform’s funding comes from donations. Commenting on the report on Tuesday, Musk wrote on X: “Stop donating to Wokepedia until they restore balance to their editing authority.”

On Thursday, Musk suggested that Wikipedia “sucks” for spending $50 million on DEI.

Always nice when the Freemasons check in with their Luciferian contempt. The 'enlightened' are such lovely people.

18   WookieMan   2024 Dec 26, 10:56pm  

Why would anyone donate to Wikipedia? If the service had worth they could charge a monthly fee. Everyone knows it's bull shit. Some of it being real, but most a lie. I'll check it for basics that really don't matter and I'm wasting my time. Stuff like Tom Cruise is 5'3" or whatever. Politics and other stuff, hell no.
19   AmericanKulak   2024 Dec 27, 12:29am  

Holy shit. They spend almost 1 in 3 dollars pretty much on DEI bullshit by their own account.
