Wikipedia’s editors have voted to declare the Anti-Defamation League “generally unreliable” on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, adding it to a list of banned and partially banned sources.
An overwhelming majority of editors involved in the debate about the ADL also voted to deem the organization unreliable on the topic of antisemitism, its core focus. A formal declaration on that count is expected next.
The decision about Israel-related citations, made last week, means that one of the most prominent and longstanding Jewish advocacy groups in the United States — and one historically seen as the leading U.S. authority on antisemitism — is now grouped together with the National Inquirer, Newsmax, and Occupy Democrats as a source of propaganda or misinformation in the eyes of the online encyclopedia.
Moreover, in a near consensus, dozens of Wikipedia editors involved in the discussion said they believe the ADL should not be cited for factual information on antisemitism as well because it acts primarily as a pro-Israel organization and tends to label legitimate criticism of Israel as antisemitism.
The Stanford Internet Observatory, which published some of the most influential analysis of the spread of false information on social media during elections, has shed most of its staff and may shut down amid political and legal attacks that have cast a pall on efforts to study online misinformation.
Just three staffers remain at the Observatory, and they will either leave or find roles at Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center, which is absorbing what remains of the program, according to eight people familiar with the developments, some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.
The Election Integrity Partnership, a prominent consortium run by the Observatory and a University of Washington team to identify viral falsehoods about election procedures and outcomes in real time, has updated its webpage to say its work has concluded.
Two ongoing lawsuits and two congressional inquiries into the Observatory have cost Stanford millions of dollars in legal fees, one of the people told The Washington Post. Students and scholars affiliated with the program say they have been worn down by online attacks and harassment amid the heated political climate for misinformation research, as legislators threaten to cut federal funding to universities studying propaganda.
I actually double-checked this image to be sure it’s a real article and not a joke, because of course they are. Only a fool wouldn’t notice. It’s a real article from one of America’s worst mind-control manufactories, which itself constitutes another kind of proof. ABN

You could also say both are going as far as they think they can go without being destroyed. We are nearing a point where most people know about and many understand the effects of Jewish power in USA and the West. The next point to reach will be everybody knows, then everybody knows everybody knows. Then the game is up. The danger in getting from here to there is yet another dramatic, even cataclysmic, psyop to take our attention off the perpetrators; such as terror attacks in USA, which may involve CCP operatives and a new virus being released in many places at once, regional war in and around Israel, WW3. I see Polly’s point and also that Bret and Tucker did say a lot and by not saying everything they may have made that point even stronger. In a totalitarian regime, and we are living in one, people learn to talk about the regime by getting close to saying it but not fully saying it. Even I feel the need to do that to some extent. It’s not always a matter of bravery or dedication to truth but also being left alive to speak at all. ABN
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The original recordings of the first humans landing on the moon 40 years ago were erased and re-used, but newly restored copies of the original broadcast look even better, NASA officials said on Thursday.
NASA released the first glimpses of a complete digital make-over of the original landing footage that clarifies the blurry and grainy images of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the surface of the moon.
The full set of recordings, being cleaned up by Burbank, California-based Lowry Digital, will be released in September. The preview is available at www.nasa.gov.
NASA admitted in 2006 that no one could find the original video recordings of the July 20, 1969, landing.
This does look like the ultimate fallback position they will take when even better technology proves beyond doubt the videos are all fake. ‘Predictive programming’ CYA from 2009. ABN
Despite the stark warning against risky biological experiments sent to the world by the Covid pandemic, research with dual-use potential on viruses continues.
Last week, a scientific team of Chinese researchers linked to the Chinese military published a study revealing that a newly discovered variant of the pangolin coronavirus results in a 100-percent fatality rate in humanized mice due to severe brain infection.
According to the paper, researchers from the Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Soft Matter Science and Engineering and the Research Center for Clinical Medicine of the Fifth Medical Center of PLA (the People’s Liberation Army) General Hospital have come up with a variant of the SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus, known as GX_P2V(short_3UTR), that has killed all human ACE2-transgenic mice exposed to it. The findings suggest a potential risk of spillover into humans.
Hard to say what this is. Real, fake, preprogramming, sowing chaos; China did play a major propaganda and laboratory role in the origin and onset of covid and covid panic. Something to know and keep in mind. ABN
In her keynote address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reaffirmed Europe’s unwavering support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s invasion.
However, in the open admission of priority, President Von der Leyen declares the #1 priority of the corporations who run the WEF and world of politics, must be control of speech and information against their interests.
She goes on to note that political dissent, what she calls “polarization within our societies” must be controlled, as the ability of individuals and groups to assemble against the WEF plan remains a constant threat to the fulfillment of the agenda. [Insert a picture of dissident enemy #1, Donald Trump, here] Yes, you do not need to interpret their intent, you only need to listen to their words and accept them. WATCH (first two minutes):
