"I did not know that Telefunken sued the USA in 1928."

Response: "Telefunken sued everything and everyone, because they were very keen to protect their interests. Hardly any company that manufactured radio equipment, radios or tubes in Western Europe was not sued by Telefunken at least once. Many smaller tube manufacturers in Germany did not survive this. They were also good at this because they had a large patent portfolio. In the end it was no use, AEG-Telefunken went under."

And you cannot Google it. Plus the Wikipedia article is poorly written and doesn't mention the main corporation's 1982 bankruptcy.

Hilarious side note: the primary editor of "womxn", Christine "Figureskatingfan" Meyer, wrote her MA thesis last year. The title of it, literally:

Hopeless, madam. Doesn't work. Thousands of "activists" have tried it before--and most failed.

Scott Ritter continues to be one of the most Wiki-hated obscure political pundits in America. Right there in the first paragraph they call him a convicted sex offender. Both times it was a police sting, with cops posing as underaged girls. Last time was in 2009. But Wikipedia will not let anyone forget. Lovely piece of ammunition for angry conservatives butthurting that WP is "librul biased". Don't want people to think your encyclo-thing is left-biased? Maybe make this article a little bit less contemptuous?

Look thru the history for Cirt sockpuppets. Many possibilities. Only the most arrogant Wikipedians, like Cirt or Philip Cross, would use WP to defame a minor character like Ritter. In 2007 it was pro-Scott, or at least more neutral. For many years the first paragraph said "He became a popular anti-war figure and talk show commentator as a result of his stance." Then starting in 2019, Cross descended on it. Now it's a competition to display who hates him more.

I see your sex offender and raise you a NAZI! I will throw in a free doughnut, some Pete's coffee, and some SS-K Kups Size D.

Founder's support of Hitler and Nazism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAB_Holding_Company

In March 2019, a German newspaper revealed that Albert Reimann Sr., and his son Albert Reimann Jr., were enthusiastic supporters of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party well before they took power, and profited from forced labor, both in their industrial chemicals company in southern Germany and in their own home.[34][35][36] The revelations sparked ethical questions about consumer support for companies that owe their success in part to the historical use of forced labor.[37][38]

Two months later, several of the Reimanns revealed to The New York Times that their mother, Emilie Landecker, Albert Jr.'s mistress, baptized as a Catholic like her mother, was the daughter of Alfred Landecker, a Jewish man deported to the Izbica Ghetto in 1942. His ultimate fate is unknown although many Jews sent to Izbica were held there pending transport to the Belzec and Sobibor extermination camps. They have renamed the family foundation after him and doubled its budget to €25 million (US$28.2 million), to fund projects that honour the victims of the Holocaust and Nazism.[39]

Chat GPT - JAB Holding Company is a German multinational investment company based in Luxembourg, which specializes in investments in coffee, beverage and luxury goods companies. There is no credible evidence to suggest that JAB Holding Company has any connections to Nazi groups. Seig Heil!

Speaking to facts and issues does not apply these days - it's all about the person.
