Susan Gerbic, the founder of the fanatical organization Guerilla Skepticism of Wikipedia, a group that controls pages on Wikipedia that deal with UFOs and aliens, joined forces with Mick West on X Wednesday in an effort to spread disinformation about the 2023 Las Vegas alien incident. Also, military officials recently confirmed that swarms of "drones" are appearing over various U.S. military installations, and that they originate from larger, mysterious "motherships."

Everybody who has looked into parapsychology knows that it is a long-standing scientific discipline and that new fascinating findings are published in scientific journals regularly. Yet there are tenacious materialists out there who still believe that this whole field is woo-woo and pseudoscience. And they are influential. Craig Weiler is a journalist specializing in parapsychology and psi phenomena. He discovered the stubborn and angry skeptics when he was blogging about psi sixteen years ago. And he was taken aback by their arrogant stance. “They were stubborn and irrational. They weren't looking into science. They weren't even close. Which was weird, because they said they were defending science”, Craig says. He started studying the skeptics and their behavior and discovered that they always approach things in the same manner. He concluded that they basically represent one personality type. “Key elements are stubbornness, a lack of ambiguity, and great difficulty saying ‘I don't know'. They have this materialistic background, and everything has to be shoved into that”, Craig says. “It becomes obvious that we are dealing with people with an authoritarian personality type. Lack of ambiguity, hostile tone, arrogance. If you look at what authoritarian personality types are, these people tick an awful lot of those boxes.” How have you been able to assess this? “I ve been arguing with them on social media since 2008. Over time I have had hundreds of conversations with skeptics. I was getting kinda hooked into it. I've freed myself of that now, but it allowed me to eventually see them more clearly, not just lock horns with them. It was a bit of a personal journey.” It wouldn't be so much of a problem if these materialist skeptics weren't so active and didn't have so much influence in the public debate. They are organized in outfits like Center for Inquiry and its program Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, and they run the Skeptical Inquirer magazine. They control the narrative on psi and other topics at the intersection of science and spirituality in various ways. One of the most salient ways is their iron grip over Wikipedia. An activist group advocating for materialist atheism called Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia has virtually gained full control of a couple of thousand articles about psi phenomena and persons studying them The group, run by former photographer Susan Gerbic, is intent on ridding Wikipedia of anything that in their worldview resembles pseudoscience. They kick out others from the platform. “They make sure there's nobody there to disagree with them.” Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales himself encouraged GSoW from the beginning to “protect science”. Wikipedia has become the go-to source of information for millions, if not billions of people. Craig Weiler and I agree that idea as such is wonderful. It is only sad that it in some areas has been turned into a propaganda tool. “I want to educate the public: you have to be very careful when you look at these topics on Wikipedia, because you're literally getting somebody's quasi religion.” So, what can be done? Craig is part of a group that aims to expose the physicalist “police” on Wikipedia. They are now documenting GSoW's biased editing, their omissions and their blocking of other editors. There are many other contentious topics that certain skeptics are “policing“ on Wikipedia, such as alternative medicine, the UAP phenomenon and alternative archaeology (lost civilizations), but Craig focuses on his area of expertise.

The bipartisan House UAP Caucus this week requested House leadership to create a UFO Select Committee in an effort to get meaningful answers with regard to the nearly 80-year-old UFO problem and government coverup. The request comes on the heels of the release of a bogus historical UFO report from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which was made public last Friday. Legacy media outlets have largely accepted the contents of the report, although many independent researchers have pointed out its many inadequacies and false, make-believe assertions. Also, Susan Gerbic, the founder of Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia, a group that is controlling numerous pages of the online free encyclopedia related to UFOs and extraterrestrials, declined to appear on this podcast for a discussion about the Roswell incident. The skeptic organization is refusing to allow objective information related to UFOs and aliens on certain Wikipedia pages. Instead, the group's apparent mission is to dismiss critical data on the subject if it goes against GSoW's pre-established, biased views. Links/Sources: Rep.

An alleged UFO crash that occurred in Colorado during the early 1950s was reportedly covered up not only by the U.S. government, but also by a Denver-based newspaper. Also, an operative of debunker cabal Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia recently re-inserted knowingly false information into a Wikipedia article that discusses the 1956 book, “The Report on Unidentified Flying Saucers.” Also, a UFO debate that occurred on CNN's Larry King Live in 2008 between Bill Nye “The Science Guy” and Dr. Bob Jacobs is remembered. Finally, skeptical comments made by former Politico reporter Bryan Bender with regard to claims made by UFO whistleblowers enjoyed an undeserved vogue on Twitter X over the weekend.

We are launching a campaign to reach out to the Foundation's major benefactors and donors and to gratefully request that they discontinue their donations, grants and support to the WikiMedia Foundation. Our motive for taking this course of action has been a last resort because all other efforts and strategies to correct the falsities, inaccuracies and vengeful narrative about our professions have either failed or been ignored. The Foundation has refused to assume responsibility and to be held accountable for the abuse being perpetrated by individuals and groups promoting antagonistic ideologies against complementary and alternative medical therapies and its leading proponents. The consequence has been that the scientific reputations and efficacy of these therapies, and the careers of those practicing them are being seriously undermined and damaged. Based upon the evidence tt is our contention that this is intentional. While countless people around the world have benefitted from the breadth and scope of knowledge the encyclopedia provides, over the years it has come under growing criticism for its bias and lack of objectivity on many subjects that have a direct impact on people's health and well-being. In addition, the culture of harassment that occurs on Wikipedia editing pages, or Talk Pages, has become uncontrollable. In May, the Foundation finally addressed this systemic problem and announced it would begin to ban editors who are charged with abusive behavior towards other editors. Unfortunately this new ruling, as admirable as it is, ignores the volumes of misinformation and libelous language already found on the encyclopedia's pages. Starting around 2006, a group of volunteer Wikipedia editors and organizations that identify themselves as "Skeptics" recognized that the encyclopedia's "open source" and anonymity policies offered an enormous opportunity for them to propagandize their message of radical scientific materialism and could serve as a platform to discredit all forms of non-conventional therapies. This includes Chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy, naturopathy and botanical medicine, energy medicine and energy psychology, nutritional therapies, traditional Chinese medicine, India Ayurvedic medicine, quantum medicine, various modalities of massage and physical therapy, non-drug based supplements, etc. During the passage of years, the presence of and influence of Skeptic editors has increased exponentially. Distinct Skeptic groups, such as Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia and Quackwatch, now dominate and control a large swathe of Wikipedia entries that deal directly with CAM and the biographies of respectable, qualified practitioners and advocates of these natural medical disciplines. Categorically, these entries display extreme bias and a flagrant lack of objectivity that violates Wikipedia's stated editorial standards such as neutrality. Renowned doctors who espouse a complementary approach to medicine and healing are commonly called "quacks" or "charlatans." CAM therapies are described as “pseudoscience” and/or “quackery”. Such derogatory terms are not permitted on creditable encyclopedias. Despite the volumes of peer-reviewed studies and articles cataloged in the National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine confirming the efficacy of these non-conventional therapies, Skeptic editors rely solely upon those studies that may be used for censure and defamation. Since Skeptics now control and monitor these heath subjects there is no opportunity for transparency and honest debate to correct gross errors. Skepticism's assault against CAM therapies is contrary to contemporary trends in medicine. In 2019, the World Health Organization reported that “traditional and complementary medicine is an important and often underestimated health resource with many applications, especially for the prevention and management of lifestyle-related chronic diseases and in meeting the health needs of ageing populations.” Most prestigious American medical schools have a department for complementary and alternative medicine or include these subjects in their curriculum. A government survey estimates that 62 percent of US adults use some form of alternative medicine annually. On the other hand, Skeptic organizations have been publicly hostile to this trend and have made their animosity known on Wikipedia. Unlike other legitimate encyclopedias, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica and the Columbia Encyclopedia, there is no oversight or accountability for who can write content and edit on Wikipedia pages. Most Wikipedia editors are anonymous. Their identities and expertise on the subjects they edit are unknown. In the majority of the cases for alternative medicine's entries, senior and administrative editors have no medical-related background whatsoever. Over the years, voluminous complaints have been communicated and/or filed to the Foundation, including lawsuits, about the gross violations in Wikipedia's editorial policies, misinformation and inflammatory and potentially libelous language. Sadly, such requests in almost all cases go unheeded. A conclusion may be drawn that the Foundation may support Skeptics' ideological beliefs. There is some evidence that the Foundation, and/or some of its Board members, endorse Skeptics' tenets and activities, including providing protection and privileges for them to carry out their agenda.   SIGN THE PETITION 

Susan Gerbic, of Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia, joins Celestia and Ben to bring us up to date on her recent psychic research and writings, as well as her team's ongoing efforts in shoring up the information on various Wikipedia pages in response to pandemic misinformation. Ben shares his thoughts on one of the last public theatrical events he attended before Covid-19: the Theresa Caputo Experience! We compare and contrast some of the psychological tricks and showmanship involved in a psychic's stage performance and how people get sucked into a celebrity psychic's crafted image.

"Don't believe everything that you see" is a mantra lived by Susan Gerbic. She's the founder of the Monterey County Skeptics group where she lives, and also Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia (GSoW), a group that edits Wikipedia articles to improve sceptical content. Susan and her team sometimes infiltrate the shows or online conferences of people who claim to be psychic or have healing ability in order to challenge them. She joins Lynn to talk about how she shines a light on people making questionable claims all over the globe - even here in New Zealand.

Vikingene er i vinden for tiden, med oppdagelsen av det som ser ut til å være en kvinnelig kriger, bekreftet ved DNA-test. Hus-arkeolog Jørgen avklarer, og kommer med noen viktige forbehold som nok i hvert fall ikke mediene har fått ordentlig frem. Originalartikkelen Første spredte faglige kritikk, av Judith Jesch En annen faglig kritikk av Fedir Androshchuk med noen ekstra momenter Kritikken oppsummert i Ars Technica Intervju Marit og Kristin snakket med Susan Gerbic fra Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia, og mentalist Mark Edward (sistnevnte kan du også høre et intervju med i episode 104), da de var i Oslo 15.9. i forbindelse med sin store Europaturné "About time tour". Et videoopptak fra deres Oslo-foredrag, arrangert av Skepsis, Eureka! og Skeptikere på puben Oslo, kan ses på Skepsis sin Youtube-kanal.

This week, Susan Gerbic joins me to discuss Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia, an international volunteer-based project she founded to ensure truth and facts are presented on Wikipedia across many science and skepticism-based topics in all languages. Music by Pale Blue. The post Sensibly Speaking Podcast #102: Guerilla Skepticism ft. Susan Gerbic appeared first on The Sensibly Speaking Podcast.

Our guest this week is Susan Gerbic. Susan is a skeptical activist involved in many activities, the one we focus on most in this episode is Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia, an organization working to improve the content and citations of Wikipedia. During the episode, Kyle recommended Susan's talk a The Amazing Meeting 9 which can be found here. Some noteworthy topics mentioned during the podcast were Neil deGrasse Tyson's endorsement of the Penny for NASA project. As well as the Web of Trust and Rebutr browser plug ins, as well as how following the Skeptic Action project on Twitter provides recommendations of sites to visit and rate as you see fit via these tools. For her benevolent reference, Susan suggested The Odds Must Be Crazy, a fun website that explores the statistical likelihoods of seemingly unlikely situations. For all else, Susan and her various activities can be found via SusanGerbic.com.
