I couldn’t not give in to the temptation

I have severely reprimanded myself though. Bad. Naughty :o)

 

And I quote:

“After this little aside we are back to the authors writing on the Vedas and contributing to Wikipedia. None of the authors creating the Wikipedia-reference on Bharatavarsa (India) know anything about the Vedas and anything about the ancient history. They can only reproduce the rubbish-and-trash literature produced by their initial academic teachers. And this rubbish-and-trash is propagated by Wikipedia as knowledge.
Wikipedia on “The Vedas” is an exemplary case. Why does Wikipedia do it? What is the purpose? Who are the sponsors? What are their interests? Wikipedia does not give answers to these or to similar questions. There are no answers to these questions. Questions alike these are non-questions in the prevalent culture. Searching, digging and putting two-and-two together of undisputable facts is therefore the call of the hour to establish truths.

Wikipedia claims to be “the free encyclopedia“. What does it mean? Does it mean that the use of Wikipedia is free of charges or the Wikipedia is free from interests or both of the aspects? At first glance it may appear to be free of charges. But is it so? Is it not a deceptive package? It depends on the validity of “information” that is provided by Wikipedia.

Wikipedia does not provide valid information on “The Vedas”. Wikipedia transports faulty, falsified and fake information to the users of “Wiki” at least in regard to our exemplary case Bharatavarsa. Faulty, falsified and fake information do not simply fall from the sky. These are created to conceal facts, to serve undisclosed interests. Wikipedia thus serves undisclosed interests. The claim of Wikipedia to be “the free encyclopedia“ is deceptive. Wikipedia serves undisclosed interest-parties generating money at the cost of others.

The fact of life is that we are what we know. Our mind is determined by our knowledge. We gain knowledge applying our senses, by our observations, by our experiences and by facts and stories communicated to us that are beyond the realm of our experiences. We judge the reliability of the communicator. Thus we build up our mind. The more we know, the more we grow. What happens when we are unable to judge the soundness of the communicators? What happens when we are fed with faulty and deliberately with false information? Before the written-mode, in face-to-face communications, the chances were much less to be deceived. The written-mode, the “Gutenberg-Axis” and electronic media have repressed face-to-face communications considerably. Only in face-to-face mode we can execute direct reliability checks and thus ensure communications which are genuinely free of charges.

All other modes of communications bring about more and more expenditures. The reverse side of “more and more expenditures” is more and more facilities to making money. Production and distribution of “information” in all variations and all that all that goes with it has become a commodity to generating considerable profit. In addition, these modes offer a variety of means to manipulating and thus to managing the minds of people. Mind management has become a big business having many facets, a fast growing industrial complex and an essential instrument to exercise power. Application of sheer force to establish power and the range of weapons needed for this purpose has been systematically extended to effective mind managements.

In view of this the claim of Wikipedia providing us with facts and stories benevolently free of charges is as deceptive as the claim of benevolence and charity. These claims contradict our experiences of life. We know, in the recent times there is nowhere a free ride, nothing occurs in life to zero tariffs. We must know what is behind this unusual benevolent offer of Wikipedia. The indisputable fact is that we can only have access to “information” offered by Wikipedia if we buy an electronic computer and pay for the access to internet. But how do we know, how can we know that we are not fed with faulty and deliberately with false information? We leave expressing our skepticism and focus into the next key-word: “The free encyclopedia“.

An encyclopedia claims to holding and to offering a comprehensive summary of information. A summary is by its nature a selection of essential points within the whole. A summary depends thus on the value judgments of the author who summarizes the whole. A publisher of an encyclopedia is an entrepreneur having interests including the monetary. The publisher selects editors, authors and topics to produce encyclopedia having sellable qualities for his profit and for mind management of his “clients”. The encyclopedia evolved out of dictionaries that went the same route. All media products have to follow this line. The competition in this area of industrial complex is as relentless as in dealing with weapons, drugs, chemicals, herbicides, Seeds and finance-products.

Another willful deception of Wikipedia is the claim that it is written “collaboratively by the people who use it”. The fast growing digital technology makes it possible that anyone can edit. Fact is also that edited parts can be deleted by one click. All editing are relentlessly censored. The purpose of this slogan is perverse. The users are flattered as already “knowledgeable persons”. If these persons are already “knowledgeable persons”, why do they need an encyclopedia? This is the malice of flattery. In actuality all consumers of an encyclopedia are enticed and encouraged to disclose their prejudices and sentiments. Thus the mainstream-needof easily consumable “news and information” is defined. Any facts correcting the prejudices and sentiments are deleted by the so-called “administrators”. The “administrators” are administered by “administrators” and so on till we arrive to “Wikimedia Foundation“ and read its slogan: “Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.”
“The sum of all knowledge” is determined by (highlighted by me): “The Wikimedia Foundation or WMF (a.k.a. the Foundation)—based in San Francisco—is the organization that owns the domain wikipedia.org.[1] It is an organization that raises money, distributes grants, develops software, deploys software, controls the servers, and does outreach to support Wikimedia projects, including the English Wikipedia. The WMF does not edit Wikipedia content (except for occasional office actions). ‘The community“ (largely volunteer editors) handle content, because if the WMF did take responsibility for content, it would introduce liabilityissues per Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.”

These lines are deceptive. This is all the more when we come to know about the formal beginning of Wikipedia. Jimmy Donal”Jimbo” Wales, born 1966, an “American Internet Entrepreneur”, has founded an online non-profit encyclopedia in 2001. Apart from the obvious contradiction an “American Internet Entrepreneur” and an online non-profit encyclopedia the curiosity is raised to know details about the personality of Jimmy Donal “Jimbo” Wales. He holds a master degree in Finance. He knows about thebenefits of non-profit institutions. His government knows about the benefits of non-profit institutions too. Why does a Jimmy Donal „Jimbo“ Wales run a non-profit encyclopedia? Where do the contents of this non-profit encyclopedia come from? How should he be able to finance at least the organizational cost to run the encyclopedia? He was not born rich. This is on record.

Jimmy Wales was born in Huntsville, Alabama, 1966. When he is twenty he earns a bachelor’s degree in finance at Auburn University in Alabama. He begins thereafter a PhD finance program at the University of Alabama and then at Indiana University. So it is said. At both universities he carried out teaching-jobs during his postgraduate studies. So it is said. But he leaves university with a master’s degree. He does not write the doctoral dissertation required for a PhD.

In 1994 he is picked up by Michael E. Davis, a 1983 MBA graduate, the CEO of Chicago Options Associates, to analyze the company’s pricing-model strategy. It is not recorded how these two persons came together. Alabama and Illinois are not just nearby places. It is a small company founded in 1973 for option-speculations with securities and commodities, brokering at the Chicago Board Options Exchange, specialized in foreign currencies and interest rates. The Chicago Board Options Exchange was also founded in 1973.

There he learns aggressive financial trading to make quick money and becomes a key person in this small company, Chicago Options Associates.

The 1990’s is the booming period of “dot-com companies”, “Internet startups” involving “venture capital” with the goal: “get big fast”. There is enough cash money around. Sell an idea if you can, earn as much as you can from the roaming capital. Amongst the educated youth prevails gold-rush-mood. The immediate links between Military-Industrial Complex, Stanford University, Silicon Valley, developments in the area of Microchips and Internet play a decisive role in the mind-management of the academic youth. The academic youth is dressed to make money at any price whatever it takes. Jimmy Wales aspires for more money.
In 1996 he is 30 years old. He sets up an Internet company named Bomis together with Michael E. Davis and Timothy Robert Shell. Tim Shell is picked up by Jimmy Wales in 1996 when he decided to joining up with Jimmy Wales to start Bomis instead completing his degree course in computer science. Bomis main business is the sale of advertising on the Bomis.com search portal.

Bomis successfully introduces “Bomis Babes” devoting to erotic images; the “Bomis Babe Report” offering soft-core pornography, “The Babe Engine” assisting users to finding pornographies through a web search engine; partly selling “Sex” free and partly on payment. The revenue thus collected and the chances opened by hundreds of programmer, hardware and soft ware developers and Internet facilities in World Wide Web open up the perspective to generate more revenue in the mind-management business creating online encyclopedias. Jimmy Wales hires Lawrence Mark Sanger in 2000, a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy (1991) from Reed College, Portland, as well as a Doctor of Philosophy in philosophy from Ohio State University in 2000, to install a new wing of Bomis called Nupedia.

Lawrence Mark Sanger designates his occupation as Internet project developer. Before becoming the editor-in-chief of Nupedia (new online encyclopedia) he sets up a list, server as a medium for students and tutors. He propagates the chances and merits of “a voluntary, free network of individual
tutors and students finding each other via the Internet for education outside the traditional university setting”.

As the editor-in-chief of Nupedia Lawrence Mark Sanger tries to get articles written by scholars having a quality comparable to that of the professional encyclopedias for Nupedia too. This process is too slow for Jimmy Wales. He installs in 2001 Wikipediaas a side-project of Nupedia to allow collaboration on articles before entering the peer review process.

Wiki means quick. Wikipedia grows rapidly and by and large independently of Nupedia, formally under Lawrence Mark Sangerby virtue of his position as Nupedia’s editor-in-chief. Lawrence Mark Sanger ends association with Jimmy Wales in 2003.

In 2003 Jimmy Wales achieves affiliation of a Foundation named Wikimedia. This Wikimedia Foundation manages the website Wikipedia. The initial three members of the Board of Trustees are Michael E. Davis, Timothy Robert Shell and Jimmy Wales. What was the benefit for these three money-hungry people by creating this construction of a non-profit organization? This question has not been raised yet.
For all practical purposes Wikipedia thus has reached a safe haven within the all-embracing network of the Mind-Management Industrial Complex. The range of this complex begins with “Pentagon”, Arms-Production, Secret Services, Elite-Universities, Churches and goes down to all varieties of Foundations. A Foundation is the best possible cover for mischief. A Foundation is established by “endowments” for non-profit activities. What are non-profit activities? Do non-profit activities exclude business activities? “Endowments” are tax-free money. What is the benefit for the Government exempting Taxes upon “Endowments”?

No one will enquire where the money (“endowment”) comes from that is spent for various projects excepting for a few governmental “anti corruption” agencies. The Foundations in general and the Foundations in the “USA” in particular are agencies for money-laundry as well. As ever in the European
culture, Money has no smell, Money doesn’t stink. Who are thereby the losers and who are the winners? Does it not associate to benevolence and charity?”
