Virgil Griffith is a Caltech graduate student who created a program and a wiki scanner that can identify who is editing Wikipedia pages and track who is making the edits. He's been working on this project for a year and a half, and it's amazing what he's been able to uncover.
00:00:03.000He's Alex Jones on the GCN Radio Network.
00:00:08.000And now, live from Austin, Texas, Alex Jones.
00:00:14.000There's a lot of editing going on, editing in the Matrix.
00:00:18.000We know Bush has bought billions and billions of fake news and thousands of reporters out pushing a police state martial law, telling us how good it is to have police in black uniforms arresting reporters coast to coast.
00:00:32.000Hillary and Chuckie and all of them have been voting for it while criticizing their scapegoat, Alberto Gonzalez.
00:00:38.000A unified front of tyranny upon the people.
00:00:41.000Virgil Griffith is the amazing individual who's gotten so much attention because of the open source nature of Wikipedia.
00:00:49.000He was able to craft a program and a wiki scanner.
00:00:53.000We've been hearing so much about the last three weeks since this broke.
00:00:56.000And headlines, see who's editing Wikipedia, Diebold, the CIA, and campaigns.
00:01:03.000And it goes on from there, and we've been doing wiki scans and finding out all the government agencies and people that have been in there foxing and messing with the postings about me, or just out of hand deleting them.
00:01:14.000Hundreds of pages about my films and works we've done, just gone forever.
00:02:24.000I quickly saw that it would be a bad idea if there was any sort of system on my website where people could rate how juicy the edits were because they'll probably get you sued.
00:02:39.000So I was very happy when Wired Magazine stepped in and they offered to do that for me.
00:02:46.000So that way I could stand back and be objective, and I could just say, oh look, I just provide the tool and whatever people do with it, well that's up to them.
00:02:57.000Well, I'm asking my listeners to go in and use this and make submissions to our PrisonPlanet.com form.
00:03:03.000We're going to create a section there, and everybody should do this.
00:03:07.000We should learn how the crannies of the web work.
00:03:09.000We should investigate what's happening.
00:03:11.000Now, back, what, last year when there were allegations of congressmen manipulating it, they denied it and called it a conspiracy theory, but now your scanners confirmed a lot of that.
00:03:30.000To be completely fair to them, it does not necessarily mean that they or their staff made it, but we do know that it came from someone within the congressional computer network.
00:04:38.000Another example of how whatever they do for tyranny's sake, we have independent freedom lovers out there that are sabotaging them every step of the way.
00:04:47.000We'll be right back with Virgil Griffith.
00:04:53.000Now you can upgrade your existing gravity filter to remove chemicals such as triamethylenes, atrazine, benzene, chlorine, chloroform, and MTBE to below detectable limits.
00:05:02.000Black quirky elements are so powerful, they remove pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites to non-detectable levels, and transform water, even raw stagnant pond water, into delicious crystal clear drinking water.
00:05:14.000Nitrates, nitrites, radon 222, unwanted heavy metals like lead, mercury, and aluminum are no problem.
00:05:19.000Foul tastes like chlorine and obnoxious sulfur odors are removed without removing the healthful and beneficial minerals that your body needs.
00:05:26.000Black Berkey elements flow one and a half to two times faster than ordinary gravity elements, which means it takes much less time to filter your water.
00:05:33.000Supercharge your gravity filter today.
00:05:35.000Upgrade to Black Berkey purification elements.
00:05:38.000Get a two-pack, only $99, or a four-pack, only $188.
00:06:00.000Shocking declassified government documents prove that western governments are orchestrating terror attacks against their own populations as a pretext to enslave them.
00:06:09.000Terror Storm proves that not only was 9-11 an inside job, but the attacks of 7-7 in London were carried out by British intelligence.
00:06:16.000Terror Storm chronicles the lies that took us to war in Iran, a White House program to disseminate fake news, NSA spying, secret police torture, the latest 9-11 information, and much, much more.
00:06:28.000Terror Storm is the definitive guide to the history of government-sponsored terrorism.
00:06:32.000It's an anthology of government crimes.
00:06:34.000Terror Storm is a film that everyone who wants to be truly informed must see.

00:06:53.000The Holy Tea Club is about ready to launch.
00:06:56.000A few founding member positions are still available.
00:06:58.000If self-employment income is important to you, go to holyteaclub.com.
00:07:03.000Formulated by Dr. Bill Miller, Holy Tea is a unique herbal blend of safe, all-natural ingredients designed to gently cleanse the digestive tract and detoxify the body.
00:07:12.000Dr. Miller's Holy Tea may also be used as an element in any weight loss program and is much more effective than Chinese Green Tea.
00:07:19.000Also with continued use of holy tea, one may experience clear, healthier, and younger looking skin, increased energy, increased mental clarity and focus, a better memory, more resistance to diseases, better overall health, more comfort with the body, and a happier outlook on life.
00:07:35.000Holy Tea has been helping people for over 20 years, and now Holy Tea can help you.
00:07:40.000Here's your chance to help others while creating financial stability for yourself at the same time.
00:07:59.000If you go up to Infowars.com and prisonpundit.com, you can link over to the Wired Magazine that's kind of teamed up with Caltech graduate student Virgil Riveth, who built a search tool that traces IP addresses of those who make Wikipedia changes.
00:08:16.000And you can go through at the wiki Scanner, and then you can even submit stuff to Wired.
00:08:22.000We're asking people to do that on our message board at PrisonPlanet.com as well, just to show what they're doing for the truth movement, the 9-11 truth movement, the anti-war movement, and even looking on Wired, the thousands of submissions that have been made there on Wikiscans, because you still need human intelligence to really look at this and pick out what we think is most interesting.
00:08:41.000It's CIA, it's American Airlines going in and saying 9-11 didn't happen on a page.
00:08:54.000I mean, it just goes... You have opened a Pandora's box here, and as you said earlier, I mean, I couldn't do this, but for a programmer like yourself, it's a pretty simple application.
00:09:42.000I'm very pleased because the Wikimedia Foundation, the people who own Wikipedia, they actually agree.
00:09:46.000And they're talking about incorporating something like Wikiscanner into the main code base.
00:09:55.000Well, there are comments on our message board right now in defense of Wikipedia, and I've gotten mad at them because they've let little trolls who have administration power delete hundreds of pages of serious material that other people put up that I happen to be mentioned in.
00:10:08.000And they're just vandalizing everything, and on their pages they snicker and laugh and admit it's politically motivated and worship George Bush and his fascism.
00:10:19.000And the people that were posting my material and other important stuff and research we'd done, they were doing it very dryly in the proper format of Wikipedia.
00:10:28.000And so I'm mad at Wikipedia about that, but I want to make this clear.
00:10:32.000The same manipulation of information, the same failures of information, the same spinning of info is in Webster's dictionary.
00:10:44.000It's just now, because this is open source, and people are now looking at it, we're able to see manipulation that's always been there in other formats.
00:10:55.000Now, I know you're not going to make value judgments on this because you're just dryly putting out this technology, but just randomly then, what are some of the points of interest for you?
00:11:06.000I mean, when you were first there looking at this and seeing who was going in and changing the encyclopedia, who was removing stuff about themselves, who was adding things?
00:11:17.000My favorite ones were actually from the media themselves.
00:11:20.000So, the first ones I looked at were the New York Times, Fox News, and Al Jazeera.
00:11:49.000But see, those are petty, so that's why they advertise it like it was some employee doing it.
00:11:53.000The more serious stuff, and I know you're not making a judgment on this, but I mean the CIA computers going in, Republican computers going in, what type of stuff did you find?
00:12:03.000The CIA was actually not very interesting.
00:13:21.000Well, yeah, they're going for lowest common denominator, literally like a chant, a Vedic chant of just liberal, liberal, liberal, whacked out liberal, liberal, liberal, nutcase crazy liberal, liberal, liberal, yeah.
00:14:35.000Well, that one should make us all quite unhappy because, well, voting machines are important.
00:14:44.000Here's another example of censorship, separate from Wikipedia, because of its open source nature, you're able to do this.
00:14:51.000But, obviously I'm not telling you that, I'm just telling folks that don't understand computers, like myself.
00:14:56.000Here's a question from our message board.
00:14:57.000Hey Alex, the Google video censoring is way worse than just your video, and I'm sure you know.
00:15:02.000Loose Change, Terror Storm, 9-11 Mysteries are consistently watched enough to be put in the top 100, but as you probably noticed, the top 100 is now, fairly recently, full of sexy type videos.
00:15:13.000Yeah, there's been a fat lady on a treadmill for 10 years.
00:15:16.000And they have the views that some of these documentaries have.
00:15:18.000They are purposely promoting mindlessness on the top 100.
00:15:22.000I also have screenshots from last October where they deleted views and versions of Terror Storm Loose Change.
00:15:28.000They froze counters for 5 days in one case, deleted the Loose Change version that had 7 million views and was constantly in the top 10.
00:15:35.000It seems within the last 4 or 5 months they've been deliberately censoring Before that, you would see five or six truth movies in the top 100.
00:16:11.000And it's been disabled for more than a month.
00:16:14.000I mean, we need programmers and smart guys like you to look at that, too, sir, because we're getting sick of it.
00:16:21.000Yeah, that's actually kind of interesting.
00:16:25.000I know several people who do work at Google, and I'll say that most of them are very nice.
00:16:31.000You would like them as people, I promise.
00:16:35.000No, I know they're big Ron Paul supporters, and most of them really are good.
00:16:38.000It started out as a really libertarian, dynamic thing.
00:16:41.000It's why it's been so successful, but now you know they've made deals with China, they've been doing MIT mergers with CIA, that's all come out.
00:16:48.000It seems like they are, kind of like they were a young Anakin Skywalker, and now they're becoming, you know, seduced by Lord Palpatine.
00:16:58.000In short, I think Google is discovering that as they get bigger, and they're becoming more of a global player, they have to make some concessions for them to even survive.
00:17:08.000Yeah, but look, they're doing censorship right here, bro.
00:17:11.000We caught them red-handed, and I'm sick of it.
00:17:14.000By the way, I had Google Ads up, and I removed 95% of their ads, and I'm going to remove them all if they don't quit.
00:17:21.000I know they don't care, but the point is that I'm even turning down advertising money because I'm getting so sick of them.
00:17:52.000Yeah, but we've got to let China use our data to grab their dissidents and execute them, or we won't be able to have our own private 777s with party rooms.
00:18:05.000Well, look, I mean, I hope they make a trillion dollars, but they better do it free market and liberty oriented, and people are getting mad at them.
00:18:11.000I mean, does Google know that they're really getting a bad rep now?
00:18:15.000They know that it isn't nearly as good as it used to be.
00:18:18.000But they're certainly so much better than most companies.
00:18:22.000Like, for example, when the NSA... No, I'm sorry.
00:18:27.000When the Department of Justice wanted data, Google was the only one that said no.
00:18:31.000While MSN and Yahoo immediately said yes.
00:19:24.000That actually would be very nice to do an analysis of.
00:19:28.000and I'll think about a good way to do that.
00:19:31.000You can get some objective measurements of traffic stats, and if you could just correlate that with Google ranking and see places where it doesn't make any sense, that would be very, very nice.
00:19:40.000Well, they seem to do it and then stop and then do it.
00:19:42.000I mean, what they do is, when we go up in the top ten, they knock us out for a few weeks until we settle back down so there's no viral spread.
00:19:52.000Nuclear reactors provide economical energy, but would you be prepared during an accident?
00:19:57.000During nuclear disasters, great amounts of radioactive iodine are released into the atmosphere, which are then readily absorbed into the body.
00:20:05.000Medical Corps' potassium iodate gives you virtually complete protection from the most feared consequence of a nuclear accident, radioactive poisoning.
00:20:14.000Potassium iodate can protect against radioactive poisoning by filling the thyroid with good iodine.
00:20:20.000This shields the thyroid and prevents it from absorbing the harmful radioactive iodine.
00:20:25.000Potassium iodate is better than the iodide form because it is not as likely to cause upset stomachs in children, the elderly, the sick, and pets.
00:20:34.000Order the official potassium iodate for only $24 and save $5 by calling New Millennium at 888-803-4438.
00:20:50.000As many people know, ever since President Nixon took us off the gold standard, dollar has been devaluating.
00:20:58.000What people don't know, however, is how this directly affects your personal finances.
00:21:01.000Is there a way to prevent your portfolios from losing value?
00:21:04.000The answer to all of this is gold and silver.
00:21:06.000They've both maintained their purchasing power for 6,000 years.
00:21:10.000If you had $100,000 in cash and $100,000 in gold and silver back in 1913 and kept them both until now, your cash would actually have the buying power of only $4,800, but your gold and silver would have the buying power of $3,000,000.
00:21:24.000The answer to protecting your assets is simple.
00:21:28.000Call me, John Ballman, today at 1-800-686-2237, extension 169.

00:21:51.000David J. Smith for Newswatch Magazine.
00:21:54.000Did you know that those seeking to destroy America and merge us into an all-powerful one-world government said that they support every movement to centralize all authority in Washington, D.C., and therefore bypass the state governments?
00:22:08.000That way they would have only one battle to win Washington, D.C.
00:22:13.000Have we witnessed the accumulation of power in Washington and bypassing the states over the last 50 years?
00:22:20.000We'd like to help you understand how these things are coming to pass by offering you an absolutely free one-year subscription to Newswatch Magazine.
00:22:28.000Just call our toll-free number 1-800-516-8736.
00:22:30.000That's 1-800-516-8736 to request your subscription.
00:24:01.000The interest is up and the stock market's down And you're only getting mugged if you go downtown Well, I hope to get Virgil Griffith on from time to time as new developments come out with his wiki scanner.
00:24:17.000We have links to it up on Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com.
00:24:22.000Just in closing, in a few minutes we've got, sir, any other key points you want to make or other interesting discoveries that people should be directed to look at.
00:24:33.000Some people keep asking, saying, hey, with Wikiscan, won't this make those companies just more clever?
00:24:39.000They'll be more sneaky about how they edit Wikipedia, and so they'll think they've done a bad thing by it, because now they're just going to be sneakier now.
00:24:46.000And I would say, the answer to that is no.
00:24:48.000Um, and I use the analogy of fingerprints.
00:24:52.000So like, you know, dusting for fingerprints when we all know police do, and they've done it, you know, for like decades, maybe.
00:24:59.000However, every time police come to a crime scene, they still dust for prints, and lo and behold, it still often works.
00:25:07.000So, I'll look through WikiScanner, kind of like that.
00:25:11.000So, yes, there may be some people, maybe some criminals that are very clever and they use gloves to prevent things like WikiScanner from working, but by and large, I think it'll still work.
00:25:25.000So, in short, by a year from now, the entire thing could be done all over again.
00:25:32.000Now, for those that don't know, Wikipedia is like rated, what, number 8th by the two big web rating services last time I checked, up from number 9.
00:25:49.000And so it's a wonderful thing, and I get millions of visitors a month on article sites, and they are little compared to Wiki, but it makes me angry that they let people have personal user pages where they say they're there to destroy information, and they say they're there to shut down alternative info.
00:26:08.000And then they're just allowed to break all the rules because they're old Wiki users.
00:27:17.000Well, he says he's an admin, but then he took that off and we put attention on it, but then he teams up with other admins, and it's like wolf packs of people.
00:27:24.000I'm going to have Paul Watson send you all the stories about Google censorship.
00:27:29.000officer david steel exposing it and then we'll also send you the information on the uh...
00:27:35.000these brigades they call them they have military awards most of them are are admit there was sent com and and they just brag they're fighting as evil evil al-qaeda lovers by destroying any criticism of the government i think well yeah yeah sure sure it's just that it and i'll and i'll get into the thinking i can make of it help us uh...
00:27:53.000now that you started the star wars analogies i'm not going to stop Help us, Obi-Wan Griffith, Virgil, Obi-Wan, we need you.
00:28:02.000You and many other great programmers and researchers like yourself are our only hope.
00:28:07.000Is there a website, I mean, other than just your new scanner that you want to plug?
