Re: Political bias and squabbling

After seeing this 2019 AP report about "Spookstock", I CONTINUE to suspect that Wikipedia content is being influenced by members of the U.S. intelligence community. Usually in an incompetent and erratic way, just like the CIA itself.
YOU CANNOT READ ABOUT SPOOKSTOCK ON WIKIPEDIA. Put that word into the search box, and you get "Schwagstock" instead. One of many, many Grateful Dead-related jam-band festivals. Looks like that article is outdated, as the official Schwagstock website disppeared years ago. No evidence that a Schwagstock has been held since 2019. There's a BAND called "The Schwag" that still plays routinely, their website and FB page are updated. No direct relation. But nothing about the fundraising festival put on by the intelligence "industry" to help its less fortunate members and dependents. Why in the HELL is it deliberately forwarded to "Schwagstock"?
Furthermore, the group that directly assists the children of CIA spies killed in the line of duty, the CIA Officers Memorial Foundation, is ALSO not mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia, except in passing on a few biographies. You have to read about it on the AP website and elsewhere. GOOGLE IT you lazy pricks.
What about the al-Balawi suicide bombing of 2009, mentioned in the AP article? Wikipedia calls it the "Camp Chapman attack" and has a lengthy and suitably-outraged-in-tone article. Its history is dominated by a little-known robotic content grinder called Cs32en, who is deeply obsessed with the 9/11 attacks and other U.S. military and spy related content.
Which reminds me: Wikipedia continues to suppress any serious discussion of "9/11 Truthers" and their theories. Crackpot or not, any mention of this quickly attracts squabblers who fight to shut down the discussion and heel administrators into assisting them. Example: Richard Gage, a well-known 9/11 truther. His article was originally created by Cs32en, to talk about the obscure Civil War figure instead. Later another nut-case, Hut 8.5, showed up and tried to make it all go away.

Today, Gage is mentioned with great contempt, but only in the "Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth" article. Since 9/11 truthers love to talk about Israel's Mossad as being responsible for 9/11, labeling them as antisemites is routine for the pro-Israel nut squad on Wikipedia. They can't heel Palestine-related content any longer, but they can damn well control this little mess. Note that I failed to mention MONGO, the usual mad combatant in 9/11 truthie content. He's been keeping a low profile since 2011.
I DARE you to find any mention on Wikipedia of "The Ten Biggest American Intelligence Failures", a 2012 article in Foreign Policy magazine that apparently pissed off a lot of Beltway insiders. They absolutely hate being reminded of their own stupidity/incompetence.
Read the history of the "History of the Central Intelligence Agency". It is totally dominated by that legendary freak Northamerica1000, formerly "A Nobody", one of the most crackpot fanatical WP "insiders" I've ever seen. Admittedly, if the CIA has some control over NA1000, they aren't getting their money's worth, as the history article does a decent job of summarizing their many intelligence failures over the past 75 years. Is this the usual CIA joe-jobbing, or does NA1000 openly hate them, or is he just a crazy person who obsesses over the subject? Like the CIA itself, everything is obscured and vague.
It's easy enough to find other questionable things about American "intelligence" on WP. Poke around in the history of Mnnlaxer, for example. Knows a lot about Mohamedou Ould Slahi, for one thing.....
