Information Warfare

Wikipedia has ties to one of the world’s most influential left-wing newspapers — The Guardian. In 2016, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales joined the board of its parent company. Since then, the paper — known for anti-Trump rhetoric and pro-censorship stances — has been listed as a “reliable source” on Wikipedia. Meanwhile, conservative outlets like Fox News, The Federalist, Epoch Times, and Post Millennial are flagged or outright banned. Is this a coincidence — or a systemic bias built into the world’s largest encyclopedia?

In this short video, we explore the findings of Professor David Rozado, whose groundbreaking study reveals a deep and measurable political bias embedded in Wikipedia’s content — and how that bias is now infecting the AI systems we rely on. Rozado conducted a large-scale sentiment analysis of Wikipedia articles covering hundreds of political figures — including U.S. presidents, senators, Supreme Court justices, governors, and journalists. His results were striking: • Left-leaning figures were consistently described using positive emotional language — words linked to joy, admiration, and trust. • Right-leaning figures were framed with negative sentiment — words tied to anger, disgust, and fear. The average effect size was 1 standard deviation (Cohen’s d) — a statistically significant skew. Even more alarming: Rozado found that this bias has percolated into AI models, including large language models like ChatGPT, which are trained in part on Wikipedia’s corpus. This means that political bias isn’t just shaping public perception — it’s being hardcoded into the algorithms that will define our future.

Organic support for Mahmoud Khalil, a terror sympathizing Syrian national? Hard to believe. Hundreds of identical, copy-paste posts with the exact same wording are flooding social media. That kind of repetition isn’t natural—it’s coordinated and well-funded. So, who’s behind it??? Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian national and former student at Columbia University, has been linked to extremist activities and pro-Hamas rhetoric. Despite this, social media is awash with suspiciously consistent messaging in his defense. Identical posts from major accounts and bots alike—this isn’t grassroots; it’s a calculated effort to manipulate public opinion. Khalil reportedly organized and led anti-American protests on campus and has expressed public support for known terrorist organizations. Now, coordinated online messaging is working overtime to shape the narrative around him. Could this be part of a larger propaganda push?

What’s REALLY going on behind the scenes with fact-checking organizations? In this deep dive, I unravel the story of how the truth about Ilhan Omar’s father was buried, as powerful fact-checkers like Snopes pushed a false narrative to protect political interests. This is a story that reveals how misinformation and the “misinformation complex” are manipulating American politics. The Shocking Revelation About Ilhan Omar’s Father: Ilhan Omar’s father was alleged to have been involved with the Somali National Army under the regime of a genocidal dictator. This raises serious questions about his family’s eligibility as refugees. However, when these claims surfaced, Snopes and other media outlets didn’t just dismiss them – they labeled the claims as “racist conspiracy theories.” But the facts tell a different story. Sahan Journal, a respected nonprofit newsroom, reported that Omar's father, Noor Omar Mohamed, indeed served in the Somali military. This wasn’t some baseless smear; it was a factual claim backed by credible sources. Why Did Snopes and the Fact-Checking Industry Bury the Truth? In this video, I break down how Snopes, a so-called trusted fact-checking site, chose to shut down any investigation into the real story. From mislabeling honest reporting as “racist” to covering up key facts, Snopes' actions reveal a much deeper problem with how fact-checking is used as a political tool. This goes beyond Omar – it’s about the broader misinformation complex that’s controlling the narrative in American politics. I also expose Snopes’ unethical practices, including plagiarism and its questionable role in defending political agendas. As we’ll see, this is a systematic problem that affects how we get our information and how we trust the institutions meant to verify the truth.

A supposed grassroots movement called Tesla Takedown has staged hundreds of protests across the U.S. But what if it’s not grassroots at all? In this investigative report, I reveal how Wikipedia editors with potential ties to the TSLAQ short-seller movement have shaped public perception of Elon Musk, Tesla, and the Tesla Takedown protests—all while violating Wikipedia’s own neutrality rules. Through coordinated editing campaigns, accounts like QRep2020 and Stonkaments have targeted Musk-related articles, creating a digital narrative war aimed at one goal: tanking Tesla’s stock price. 🔍 Backed by reporting from Pirate Wires, this exposé uncovers: Wikipedia's vulnerability to manipulation How TSLA short sellers may be weaponizing “information warfare” The role of editors like QRep2020 and Jumplike23 in amplifying anti-Tesla content The financial and ideological networks behind Tesla Takedown Why Wikipedia neutrality is a myth when ideology and money are involved This isn't just about Elon Musk or Tesla — it's about how online information platforms can be exploited to manipulate public perception, financial markets, and media narratives. 📌 Watch now to see how Wikipedia is being weaponized — and why it matters. 👉 Subscribe for more deep dives into media bias, corporate manipulation, and truth in the age of information warfare.

Did Wikipedia try to influence the 2024 U.S. election? In this short exposé, we investigate how Wikipedia blurred the line between historical record and political propaganda — just weeks before Americans went to the polls. A new article titled Donald Trump and Fascism appeared in October 2024. It compared Trump to Hitler, labeled him authoritarian, and used the word “fascist” 92 times — all sourced from far-left publications and radical academics. These edits weren’t made by historians. They were inserted by anonymous activists. Once live, the article was indexed by Google, boosted in search rankings, and absorbed into AI training datasets — turning partisan attacks into “verified” information. Meanwhile, Wikipedia ran bright red donation banners over the page, helping founder Jimmy Wales raise $180 million in 2024 alone. Critics argue this isn’t just bias — it’s a form of election interference.
