What do Scientology, Wal-Mart, al Jazeera and the CIA have in common? They all secretly rewrite the entries in Wikipedia. Now the Wiki community has come on their trail. the article in in German at www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/0,1518,500163,00.html but it does point out how easy it is to propagandize people today - as if we didn't get a strong reminder from the Bush administration! Kai perhaps someone will find a companion article in English. I have to get ready for a day of mountain biking tomorrow ... Was haben Scientology, Wal-Mart, al-Dschasira und die CIA gemeinsam? Sie alle schreiben heimlich das globale Internet-Lexikon Wikipedia um. Doch mit dem Wiki-Scanner kommt die Community den Maulwürfen jetzt mühelos auf die Schliche. |

Kai.. somewhere way back sometime I read an article stating that Wiki is not a good source for information because anyone can go in and edit the material on there. It is not based on truth but rather on belief unlike the encyclopedia. After that I have always kept that in mind when reading wiki....so this does not come as no big surprise. Kai's working version of url tinyurl.com/2dz7om(shiese it is in deutch)  |

I am not so sure as for why this would be not so suprising. It takes a trickster to recognise a trickster. For this was a conducted operation some time past with {Operation Mockingbird} The following is an information url, some what school child, but, provides the general idea. I am quite sure that many folks has past recognized and will, that America is a very large spy organization. www.prisonplanet.com/analysis_louise_01_03_03_mockingbird.htmlCharles |

Kai's working version of url tinyurl.com/2dz7om(shiese it is in deutch) Just as an addition, for I have not the patience for transcription: The article is ok, some what vague, but reveling. Part and partial of the article is of {Wal-Mart} as an example of manipulation of information into transformation into mis-information. Very common and silly on the surface. The target view though, is not public, but, a distinct design programme of deception to a select group of view people. For instance of Article with Wal-Mart. {Wal-mart, 3.5 million jobs over seas Chine} changed to {Wal-Mart created 3.5 million jobs in the United States. What we see, is not always what is. The art of deception is easily perverted from the needs of the common good,,,to the needs of the few. Charles |

Yes,
they were talking in news about it. I just hope that the internet is so big that big companies would not be able to control this all! Wikipedia had the reputation for the best, it also has discussion and controversial articles about different subjects.
