Thread: Wikipedia, Ziopedia or Judeopedia?

^ beats the hell out of me.

I want to know where the ACLU is on this? Must be too busy making sure there's no Nativity scenes in schools or other govt property, eh?

Why is the Executive and Legislative branches of my govt spending their time and most likely tax dollars on helping a small extremist sub-set of Judaism propagate their version of that religion?? "Education and Sharing Day" my ass!

I have zero interest in being educated on the 7 Noachide Laws or this odd looking "Rebbe" fellow's (who these Lubavitchers think is/was 'The Messiah') thoughts on 'education and sharing.'

What happened to 'separation of Church and State' in this case?


The double standards that exist here in the US on anything relating to Judaism are amazing!

btw, I probably should have started my own thread I guess.

So that must mean that since "Zionism has declared all Jews a distinct ethnicity", that mice are now part of that ethnicity.

Was Mickey a Jew too?

Both those statements are blatant lies. Face up to it.

You are going to accuse them of something despite the facts that don't bear out your accusation.

The facts are that the above statements are lies.

What is your obsession with Jewish people anyway

I have no "obsession with Jewish people". I am opposed to Zionism, because it constitutes a serious threat to everybody in the world, whether through wars or the destruction of civil rights. The single main threat to free speech in the West concerns efforts by Zionists to stop discussion of the many wrongs committed by Israel.

Well, since Ajarn Forum is run by a jew (me), albeit a scornful bacon scoffing atheist variety, I'm almost starting to believe this crap.

Look, Larkinny, I can see I'm going to have to post this again! This came from the same Wikipedia page, and shows no bias; it points out in a very balanced way what the situation was. It even cites the names of prominent people in the US Government who believe that the Israelis deliberately attacked the Liberty.

Proponents include the surviving Liberty crewmen, [1] and some former U.S. government officials, including then-CIA director Richard Helms and then-Secretary of State Dean Rusk as well as Admiral Thomas Hinman Moorer, former Chief of Naval Operations and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

It comes from the same page as that which you've cited as being Zionist and biased.

certainly there are attempts by the "soldiers" of the Zionists to alter Wikipedia in their favor, as Sampdoria pointed out, but in general I'd say that Wikipedia ends up being quite fair, quite amazing really how citizens around the world edit it and the results are certainly a million times bigger and better than those dusty encyclopedias in my parents' basement. Usually there are alot of good facts on any topic thinkable.

and if there is an "official coincidence theory" stated as the generally accepted truth, then a dissenting view is also given.

It does show bias, by saying those people claim the attack was premeditated and deliberate. The connotation being like in, well, some claim the moon landing was a hoax.

Further on they use it again, "Critics -- including an active group of survivors from the ship -- assert that five U.S. congressional investigations and four other U.S. investigations were not investigations into the attack at all, but rather reports using evidence only from the U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry, or investigations unrelated to the culpability of the attack but rather discussing issues such as communications. In their view, the U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry is the only investigation on the incident to date. They claim it was hastily conducted ..."

And again: "Some of the survivors claim that this incident stands as the only peacetime attack on a U.S. naval vessel not investigated by Congress, and want a full Congressional hearing. They claim that a proper investigation has never taken place... "

A truly unbiased report would show how Joe Meadors, a survivor, proved this claim is TRUE:

The Question:

Patron: General Inquiry:

I was aboard the USS Liberty (AGTR-5) when the ship was attacked on June 8, 1967.

In searching through the Library of Congress website I could find references to Congressional investigations of the attacks on the USS Pueblo, the USS Cole and the USS Stark but none for the Congressional investigation of the attack on the USS Liberty.

Could you tell me why there is no copy of any Congressional investigation of the attack on the USS Liberty in the Library of Congress?

If it has not yet been provided to you, could you contact the appropriate Congressional personnel to ensure the Congressional investigation of the attack on the USS Liberty is provided to the Library of Congress?

Thanks in advance.

Joe Meadors

Dear Patron:

Thank you for your query.

After checking numerous resources, including the "CIS (Congressional Information Service) Indexes to Congressional Hearings (both published and unpublished), and the Public Documents Masterfile, I could find no evidence that the Congress ever held hearings or launched an investigation into the June 8, 1967 incident with the USS Liberty.

...

I hope that this information is helpful.

This is the crux of the issue, that there has NEVER BEEN a Congressional investigation of the attack.

How the hell can Wikipedia promote itself as an encyclopedia while they make no mention of this fact?

Ironic name for their group. They remind me of the recent Chinese hissy-fit at the exposure of their violent excesses. "The West is biased, unfair" boo-hoo!! ...and the Israelis deserve no less than the Chinese in these matters, a big, fat

What's up with The Register? Is that known as a "rag" in the UK? Just curious.
