the March on Washington was originally intended to be a radical and militant action that drew in and relied on the Black proletariat. White liberals got involved and turned it into a parade. Still a major turning point in the history of our struggle but it could have been much more. Malcolm: “This is what they did with the march on Washington. They joined it. They didn’t integrate it, they infiltrated it. They joined it, became a part of it, took it over. And as they took it over, it lost its militancy. It ceased to be angry, it ceased to be hot, it ceased to be uncompromising. Why, it even ceased to be a march. It became a picnic, a circus. Nothing but a circus, with clowns and all. You had one right here in Detroit–I saw it on television–with clowns leading it, white clowns and black clowns. I know you don’t like what I’m saying, but I’m going to tell you anyway. Because I can prove what I’m saying. If you think I’m telling you wrong, you bring me Martin Luther King and A. Philip Randolph and James Farmer and those other three, and see if they’ll deny it over a microphone. No, it was a sellout. It was a takeover. When James Baldwin came in from Paris, they wouldn’t let him talk, because they couldn’t make him go by the script. Burt Lancaster read the speech that Baldwin was supposed to make; they wouldn’t let Baldwin get up there, because they know Baldwin is liable to say anything. They controlled it so tight, they told those Negroes what time to hit town, how to come, where to stop, what signs to carry, what song to sing, what speech they could make, and what speech they couldn’t make; and then told them to get out of town by sundown. And every one of those Toms was out of town by sundown. Now I know you don’t like my saying this. But I can back it up. It was a circus, a performance that beat anything Hollywood could ever do, the performance of the year. Reuther and those other three devils should get an Academy Award for the best actors because they acted like they really loved Negroes and fooled a whole lot of Negroes. And the six Negro leaders should get an award too, for the best supporting cast.”

Don’t much like the disparaging of the calls of organizers and community members who saw Black people lynched by law enforcement in their city alongside militarized crackdowns on Indigenous organizers and allies who were trying to stop resource development projects idk

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has exploited Wikipedia's anonymity rules to edit articles, according to the digital encyclopaedia's co-founder Larry Sanger. In an interview with German newspaper Berliner Zeitung, Sanger said that global governments and public relations firms have also weaponised the platform to push favourable narratives. "The powerful are very interested in Wikipedia," he said. He added that the site was identified early as a propaganda tool, accusing the CIA of altering content, with corporate groups like Wiki-PR said to have profited millions from covert edits. He also highlighted investigations showing that PR firms like Portland Communications rewrote entries for governments, sovereign wealth funds, and institutions like the Gates Foundation. Sanger argued that narratives favoured by entities like the World Bank and the World Economic Forum are presented as fact, while anonymous administrators purge perspectives that challenge them. He also warned that such distortions are influencing search engines and AI chatbots trained on the platform's text. Sanger left Wikipedia in 2002 shortly after it was founded and has been described as the digital encyclopaedia's "most outspoken critic". Since 2020, Sanger has accused Wikipedia of having a left-wing ideological bias. This may explain why Sanger also claimed that Wikipedia's coverage is "very one-sided" in favour of P*lestinians. Despite previously labelling Wikipedia's founder Jimmy Wales as a "fraud" and a "liar," Sanger backed the latter's suggestion that the "G*za g*nocide" article should contain more of the Isr*eli perspective. It is worth noting that Isr*el has poured over $1 billion into influence campaigns since 2023, which includes a reported $9 million to a firm led by Brad Parscale, US President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign manager, to manipulate the narratives generated by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. This involved the creation of nine specialised websites designed to feed AI models biased "information" that is intended to skew AI summaries on the occupation.
