just look at Gary "Gerhard" Lauck's NSDAP/AO website.
It's down today. Wonder how many DDOS attacks it gets.
I never see it down, but then I rarely look at it. I checked right now and it's up.

Re: "Tenet Media never existed"

Now the article is called 2024 Tenet Media Investigation , probably to bury it. But the Majority Report reported on it/discussed it repeatedly last year. gublBEqhhJQ The MR staff talking about Tenet and Tim Pool's contact with it.

Re: A memoral for "100 Reasons NOT to go to Graduate School"......

Funny.....a web search for "reasons to avoid graduate school" either point to that blog, or to the websites of major universities showing the requirements for graduate studies/warnings about the costs, or a few "listicles" blathering about assorted issues and non-issues. The blog owner has a near-m...

Re: Rochester Institute of Technology is Wikipedia IRL

Well, don't feel TOO bad. Higher education in general has been declining in quality, while prices go berserk. Places on the west coast that are similar to RIT, like Evergreen State College and CSU Humboldt, have also become paranoid prison-like compounds. You should see UC Berkeley today. It is one...

Re: Are other Wikis such as JustPedia, ConservePedia & InfoGalaxy connected to Wikimedia?

Go check out the worst wiki ever, Metapedia . Not just Holocaust denial, but an overbearing obsession with National Socialism and WWII, and related subjects. And NO "degenerate art". It's the Angry White Incel-O-Pedia. Not a "reference work" in any delusion. The primary, almost the ONLY, "Editor": ...
