Washington, DC
– A second instance of censorship has taken place related to matters
exopolitical.
First Google
deletes or blocks listings from the top of search returns; now after three
years an Administrator at Wikipedia has removed the "Exopolitics"
article from the online "people’s" encyclopedia.
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 web users access 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 obsessive-compulsive
geeks who rule over imaginary fiefdoms while hiding behind screen
names.
The Administrator/OCG in this instance
who deleted the "Exopolitics" article goes by the screen name
"Sandstein." He has no knowledge of exopolitics, its
history or the attendant issues and his "decision" was derived
from a mock consensus of a few other OCG’s who know even less – a
rationale based upon the premise that collective ignorance is somehow
smarter than individual ignorance – a case of the arrogant leading the
blind.
First
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.
PRG executive director
Stephen Bassett commented, "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.
