Wikipedia:
A Techno-Cult of Ignorance
by

"Is Wikiped's fascism and suppression of knowledge a fraudulent intelligence
operation?
In the beginning, one could have wondered where the
'spontaneous' animosity towards Aetherometry came from. On closer scrutiny,
the animosity was found to be not simply aprioristic and uninformed, and more
intent on libeling scientists and their efforts than on creating an encyclopedic
article, but also part of a general fanaticism displayed on all Wikipedia
entries relating to new science and its controversies.
While this alone shows
Wikipedia to be an extraordinarily biased depository of so-called
'information', the archives of modifications and the discussion pages which
accompany these entries record a shocking degree of zealotry and fanaticism
backed up by an administrative power that is systematically abused through overt
or covert deletion of texts expressing opposing views, through alteration of
records, caricatural distortion of content, and the determined suppression of
knowledgeable contributions."
(...)
"This brings us squarely to
the question of the uses of Wikipedia, and in particular, those that concern
protection of the interests of Big Science. For Wikipedia is at the
intersection of this Knowledge Warfare. Its cult of the sanctity of mainstream
peer-review, and its determination to brand bona fide non-mainstream scientific
efforts as Pseudoscience, lumping them together with doctrines or ideas that
would disgust any good scientist, all point in the direction of a gigantic
disinformation act. Tyrannized by fanatical lefto-facho bureaucrats and by
zealots of Official Science surrounded by an always-ready supply of zombified
adolescents, Wikipedia has become a supplement to the imaginary ‘peer-review
system’ that supposedly rules the secretion called Official or Big Science. The
unconscious entente of Wikipedia proves the collective adherence of its
participants to the brave new concept of Official Science: if it does not occur
within those institutions which embody the powers of the State (Academia), the
Military Mechanism and Capital, it is NOT science, nor worthy of the Media
(including mainstream peer-reviewed publications), not worthy of being endorsed
for the strategizing of mass-control."
