Historically, Wikipedia has been written and monitored by a community of volunteers who collaborated and contested competing claims with one another. In the words of Wikipedia’s co-founder, Larry Sanger who spoke to Freddie Sayers on LockdownTV, these volunteers would “battle it out”.

This battle of ideas on Wikipedia’s platform formed a crucial part of the encyclopaedia’s commitment to neutrality, which according to Sanger, was abandoned after 2009. In the years since, on issues ranging from Covid to Joe Biden, it has become increasingly partisan, primarily espousing an establishment viewpoint that increasingly represents “propaganda”. This, says Sanger, is why he left the site in 2007, describing it as “broken beyond repair”.

The United Nations has been formally invited by the Biden Administration to investigate “the scourge of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia” in the US, according to Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Joe Biden, a lifelong racist, claims his administration is “deeply dedicated” to addressing “racial injustice” on the global stage. “As the President has repeatedly made clear, great nations such as ours do not hide from our shortcomings; they acknowledge them openly and strive to improve with transparency,” Blinken said in a statement on Tuesday. “It is in this context that the United States intends to issue a formal, standing invitation to all UN experts who report and advise on thematic human rights issues,” he continued. “As a first step, we have reached out to offer an official visit by the UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism and the UN Special Rapporteur on minority issues.” “I urge all UN member states to join the United States in this effort, and confront the scourge of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia.

The survey found that 63 percent of voters — Democrats, Republicans, and independents — identify election integrity as one of their top issues when deciding how to vote, and 77 percent of voters across the board explicitly “reject ‘racism’ as a reason for voting integrity laws, and believe one party uses it for political purposes, not for electoral progress,” according to a release detailing the survey’s results.

The vast majority of voters, 80 percent, believe voter ID is a significant security measure, and a majority disagree with the left’s narrative that the requirement is racist in nature. Additionally, the survey found:

• 89 percent in favor of purging voter rolls of ineligible voters, such as those who passed away
• 87 percent against ballot harvesting
• 71 percent against accepting ballots after Election Day
• 53 percent in favor of removing “special voting measures” due to the Chinese coronavirus

Additionally, the survey found more than three-quarters of voters, 78 percent, support a voting plan that includes: “1. Presenting Voter ID, 2. Signature Verification, 3. Chain of Custody Controls, 4. Bipartisan Observers Observing, [and ] 5. Cleaning up the Voter Rolls.”

When it comes to issues facing the gubernatorial Virginia election, abortion deserves to have more of a spotlight. Specifically, it’s the abortion extremism of Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Terry McAuliffe, and those who support his campaign, which needs to be addressed.

McAuliffe, who served as governor from 2013-2017 has taken to bragging about his stance on abortion, specifically when it comes to being “a brick wall” on any regulations or restrictions against it.

He used the phrase in October 2013, while on the campaign trail. The ad which mentions the “brick wall” line also included an exchange between McAuliffe and a woman, with McAuliffe saying “I would support stopping any restrictions,” when asked “as governor, would you oppose any restrictions on my right to an abortion at any time?”
