00:00:00.120 welcome to episode six of us
00:00:02.360 interference and social media this one
00:00:04.560 is my personal favorite Wikipedia well
00:00:07.679 Wikipedia one of its own Founders has
00:00:10.320 said that this has become the most
00:00:11.880 biased platform how did it happen where
00:00:14.360 did things go wrong how did things come
00:00:16.239 to here we're going to know more about
00:00:18.400 Wikipedia so here we go but before that
00:00:20.720 please like this video and if you have
00:00:22.439 not seen the series do watch the series
00:00:24.840 from part one thank you very much part
00:00:27.240 six is about Wikipedia here we go
00:00:30.119 manipulation of Wikipedia is also
00:00:32.200 discussed Reports say that the FBI has
00:00:34.440 been editing wikip Pages since 2008 its
00:00:38.239 co-founder Larry sander calls it the
00:00:40.719 most biased encyclopedia another
00:00:43.520 co-founder Jimmy Wales has been co-opted
00:00:45.760 by the censorship regime so one guy
00:00:48.640 starts working for them one guy is
00:00:50.760 against Wikipedia co-founder no
00:00:53.160 encyclopedia to my knowledge has been as
00:00:56.120 biased as Wikipedia has been this is
00:00:58.480 Larry sander explaining the downfall of
00:01:00.800 Wikipedia from a democratized knowledge
00:01:03.680 to pro-establishment
00:01:06.000 propaganda Jimmy Wales he the adviser
00:01:08.840 and co-founder of Wikipedia and he
00:01:11.560 actually is standing by I think he's
00:01:13.680 still with Wikipedia so he's a
00:01:15.560 beneficiary of all this and then they
00:01:17.159 come to you with a bigging bow you may
00:01:18.759 want to think twice before uh you know
00:01:21.280 giving your hard-earned money me
00:01:23.720 Wikipedia is Last Resort you know
00:01:27.759 knowledge of Last Resort if I don't find
00:01:30.240 anything else then I'll go and try and
00:01:31.799 look at Wikipedia then I'll do a double
00:01:33.840 check to make sure that uh the
00:01:36.200 information that they are providing is
00:01:37.880 correct so Wikipedia to me is a joke
00:01:41.040 anyway we'll move on to the next one
00:01:43.280 which is reddit reddit is similar to
00:01:46.040 Wikipedia except that it's got a very
00:01:48.320 text like interface it's not a page it's
00:01:50.880 more like text and you have threads
00:01:52.799 going all and on who would have thought
00:01:54.920 that the free spirited discussion
00:01:56.600 platform for nerds would also be
00:01:58.479 manipulated but of course and if any
00:02:00.799 doubts the venerable Washington Post
00:02:03.360 clears it by recommending it news
00:02:06.240 outlets turn to Reddit as musk's X
00:02:09.038 descends into chaos so this is
00:02:11.038 Washington Post which is pitching
00:02:13.680 for it is pitching for redit very very
00:02:17.280 interesting don't think that the US
00:02:19.760 missions in India have suddenly
00:02:21.680 developed a fion to help India with the
00:02:24.920 right information far from it there is a
00:02:27.840 hidden purpose and what is that hidden
00:02:29.560 purpose we come to that in just one
00:02:31.760 moment there is an organization that has
00:02:34.000 been engaged by the US Embassy for the
00:02:36.599 counter disinformation theater it's
00:02:39.159 called the international research and
00:02:42.159 exchange board harmlessly sounding name

00:05:44.919 council member assistant administrator
00:05:47.080 paig Alexander is also an advisory
00:05:49.560 council member in other words the United
00:05:51.840 States government entities embassies and
00:05:54.120 consulates are engaging the
00:05:56.120 non-government irx almost entirely
00:05:59.120 people with forers us uh government
00:06:01.960 officials which in turn are funded by
00:06:03.960 other government entities such as the US
00:06:06.120 embassies from Israel to Pakistan now
00:06:09.560 let's take a quick look at how this
00:06:11.560 affects India the US Embassy in New
00:06:14.599 Delhi you know digital media literacy
00:06:16.840 advocate for that is Britany Kar and
00:06:19.400 where does she come from she was a
00:06:22.080 deputy director of digital media
00:06:24.639 literacy project in pointer pointer I
00:06:27.560 have talked about in one of the previous
00:06:29.160 episodes in this series you may want to
00:06:31.120 go back and look at who pointer is again
00:06:33.840 you have the other consulates like
00:06:35.520 Chennai Kolkata Mumbai and Hyderabad and
00:06:38.080 you can see Alana dwar I've talked about
00:06:40.479 her and how open Society foundation and
00:06:43.280 Fort Foundation provide funding to
00:06:45.280 pointer and you have also seen them
00:06:48.520 collaborate with uh new things such as
00:06:51.400 learn to discern India Academy which in
00:06:54.280 turn is again uh connected with it's a
00:06:57.440 part of international research and
00:06:59.879 exchanges for now comes the critical
00:07:02.479 question is there any money laundering
00:07:04.680 Trail here remember how BBC got caught
00:07:07.240 with his hand in the cookie jar and
00:07:09.599 finally they had to admit that they
00:07:11.360 faked a lot of the receipts that were
00:07:13.479 coming in but unfortunately India
00:07:16.120 allowed them to continue to operate I
00:07:17.840 think they are still operating in India
00:07:19.520 I mean BBC is too important a name to I
00:07:22.280 guess uh you know throw away but
00:07:24.479 hopefully they have been you know taught
00:07:26.240 a lesson they are more humbled they are
00:07:28.520 more they have have their feet to the
00:07:30.400 ground and not fly in the midair and and
00:07:32.720 still continue to mouth lies I hope well
00:07:35.360 we will never know whether there is
00:07:36.759 moneya laundering involved or not we do
00:07:38.759 know that with all the taxpayers money
00:07:40.800 both government and non-government
00:07:42.319 entities are only engaging a particular
00:07:44.759 type of people steeped in a specific
00:07:47.479 ideology it is not for all a side note
00:07:51.599 the irex website has all members details
00:07:54.520 except two GP and ji not saying that
00:07:59.720 there is something about this mystery
00:08:01.440 but there is always a revelation who is
00:08:04.919 GP and who is ji so you take a look at
00:08:09.120 all these people to try and see if there
00:08:11.360 is anybody who we can try and make sense
00:08:14.159 of GP is uh just says in initials you
00:08:18.240 don't have a picture director of Global
00:08:20.520 Security and Operational Support and in
00:08:23.639 this page you can see there is ji vice
00:08:26.840 president for Global human resources
00:08:29.960 these two are not mentioned by faith but
00:08:32.080 look at the names I mean if you go and
00:08:34.159 search for them on Google you understand
00:08:36.679 where their affiliations are so that
00:08:39.399 brings us back to the question if the
00:08:40.958 Enterprise is not for the love of India
00:08:43.479 what is it for the war on disinformation
00:08:46.360 is a new war on terror a foreign policy
00:08:49.200 tool run through a global Machinery to
00:08:51.600 manage manipulate civilize or
00:08:53.800 destabilize government societies and
00:08:56.320 countries the quote from Jacob seagull a
00:08:58.680 guide to understand understanding The
00:08:59.880 hoax of the century this is how the
00:09:02.120 government created war against
00:09:03.640 disinformation became the great moral
00:09:06.200 Crusade of its time CIA officers at
00:09:08.800 Langley came to share a CA with hip
00:09:11.040 young journalists in Brooklyn
00:09:12.720 Progressive nonprofits in DC J Soros
00:09:15.720 funded think tanks in Prague racial
00:09:18.120 Equity Consultants private Equity
00:09:20.279 Consultants P company staffers in
00:09:22.399 Silicon Valley IV League researchers and
00:09:24.760 failed British Royals Jacob Seal's book
00:09:28.440 you should read this to know a little
00:09:30.079 bit more about what they are talking
00:09:31.800 about here now the cracks of the war
00:09:34.360 against disinformation is don't trust
00:09:36.800 your government don't trust your
00:09:38.680 institutions don't even trust your own
00:09:41.079 eyes and ears you'll be told what to
00:09:43.279 believe this is the thing you will be
00:09:45.440 told what to believe and no matter which
00:09:47.839 social media platform you turn to that
00:09:50.000 has been taken over so it appears like
00:09:52.160 the truth because everybody saying the
00:09:53.760 same thing if everybody is saying the
00:09:55.519 same thing Edo it must be the truth or
00:09:57.839 in other words a like told thousand
00:10:00.279 times becomes the truth we bsian and
00:10:03.200 these people think that by calling
00:10:05.079 anybody as a nationalist then they can
00:10:07.040 immediately connect them to a n like the
00:10:09.240 way they try to do it with Modi now you
00:10:11.920 can see here uh Trump escorted away
00:10:14.640 after loud noises at Pennsylvania rally
00:10:18.160 loud noises right this was an
00:10:20.000 assassination attempt and they call it
00:10:22.240 escorted away after Loud Noises this is
00:10:24.920 uh Washington Post New York Times rushed
00:10:27.680 off stage after chaos rally none of
00:10:30.680 these people wanted to admit that there
00:10:32.880 was an assassination attempt on Trump
00:10:35.560 the poor man lost a part of his ear for
00:10:37.920 God's sake and these are some of the
00:10:39.920 leading lights in terms of newspaper
00:10:41.760 Publications in the United States where
00:10:44.079 has this world come to one wonders
00:10:46.800 George Orwell thought it would be a
00:10:48.720 communist socialist system that would
00:10:50.560 descend into a dystopian regime would
00:10:52.800 have never believe that the capitalist
00:10:55.440 Heaven of United States would create the
00:10:57.760 most advanced no censorship dystopia
00:11:01.480 These Are Not Mere rhetoric these are
00:11:03.600 visible on the ground what started the
00:11:05.680 spring Revolution graduated into the
00:11:08.240 color Revolution and now you have the
00:11:10.360 monsoon revolution in Bangladesh go
00:11:13.600 figure this out guys I mean they don't
00:11:15.560 even want to change any words they just
00:11:17.600 want to cut and Pace cut and Pace lazy
00:11:20.279 bums I tell you they should use their
00:11:21.920 creativity to come up with new name they
00:11:24.000 won't because they want to associate you
00:11:26.720 with you know spring means a revolution
00:11:28.720 same way maybe they thought spring is
00:11:30.639 not enough you know direct pointing to
00:11:33.440 what it is so they changed the name
00:11:35.320 spring to Revolution so you have orange
00:11:37.120 Revolution I think that was the one that
00:11:39.000 they mentioned about Ukraine in 2014 if
00:11:41.800 I'm not wrong and now you have the
00:11:43.920 monsoon Revolution 10 years later in
00:11:45.959 2024 in Bangladesh so if you listen to
00:11:49.720 the profits of democracy who have
00:11:51.560 decided that democracy will no longer be
00:11:54.120 decided by votes elections or Parliament
00:11:57.120 under the new religion democracy will be
00:11:59.399 decided on the street through Anarchy
00:12:02.360 The Architects of this dystopian
00:12:04.519 censorship and masters of spring and
00:12:06.560 color revolutions have put their
00:12:08.480 benevolent eyes on India not sure if
00:12:11.120 spring is coming or winter is coming or
00:12:13.480 a winter of spring see this particular
00:12:16.920 slide deck was done before the
00:12:18.720 Bangladesh coup happened so that's why
00:12:20.959 it looks a little
00:12:28.160 anacronismo ago and I was traveling so I
00:12:30.800 couldn't do the remaining pieces so now
00:12:32.959 I have finished it this brings us to a
00:12:34.760 close of this series I hope you watched
