300 webites, 300 lies...

[CDNBear]

I thought the "Inform your fellow Canadians" forum would be the best place this put this info, but your welcome to decide on your own.
A

AlterNet - The Anti-War Movement
http://www.alternet.org/issues/index.html?IssueAreaID=28 and info@alternet.org
This group uses the US war in Iraq to gather support for the "Palestinian cause".

AFSC - American Friends Service Committee
http://www.afsc.org
Their Middle East program coordinator was originally in Beirut, Lebanon but has recently been moved to Amman, Jordan -- is their anti-Israel stance really any surprise?

Ariga: Peace
http://www.ariga.com/peace.shtml
This is an umbrella site for many 'peace' organizations with individual URL's that are also on this list.
APHRA - Arab Program for Human Rights Activists
http://www.aphra.org
Although they themselves don't say anything against Israel on their website, the groups that make up their links list certainly DO!!! This is the International branch: http://www.aphra.org/Interngos.htm

American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee
http://www.adc.org
By claiming to be the victims of discrimination, they get funding to practice discrimination against others.

Adalah
http://www.adalah.org/eng/index.php
'Adalah' means 'justice' in Arabic. The group is stating that Arabs don't have equal rights in Israel and that's already a lie! Then they go on with the usual "Palestinian" propaganda.

Americans for Peace Now ... a.k.a.Peace Now - USA
http://www.peacenow.org
They were originally formed to give American support to Shalom Achshav/Peace Now, Israel, they are working for the evacuation of all "occupied" territories and the establishment of "Palestine"!!!!

The Alternative Information Center
http://www.alternativenews.org
None of the home site links work. However, you can see their extreme anti-Israel bias by checking their statement at http://www.flwi.rug.ac.be/cie/Palestina/palestina96.htm

Al-Liqa
http://www.al-liqa.com
Another site whose home URL doesn't work; info can be found on the Ariga site (!) at http://www.ariga.com/humanrights/al-liqa.shtml

Amnesty International - Israel Section
http://www.amnesty.org.il/data/english.html
I don't have enough words to denounce this site!

ACHR -- Arab Commission on Human Rights
http://home.swipnet.se/~w-79939/index-en.htm
They appear on most sites connected with the UN. They specifically try to indict Israel in the International Criminal Court but refuse to prosecute Arafat for mass murder. It claims to deal with "... the rights of Arabs living in Israeli-occupied territories."

Al-Dameer Association For Human Rights
http://www.aldameergaza.org
Another advocacy group specializing in "human rights" in Gaza and are closely related to Ramallah. They specifically deal with "violations against prisoners in Israeli jails".

Al-Mezan Center For Human Rights And Community Involvement
http://www.mezan.org
Located in the Jabalia Camp in Gaza, it is extremely well funded by multiple organizations including the Ford Foundation.

Al-Haq
http://www.alhaq.org/index2.htm
Allied with ICJ, it is a typical, though better funded than most, anti-Israel "human rights" group.

Alternatives (Canada)
http://www.alternatives.ca/en
They constantly condemn Israel's anti-terrorism policies while ignoring "Palestinian" barbaric use of genocide-bombers.

Arab Association of Human Rights
http://www.arabhra.org
It is promoting the same tired propaganda while pretending to be an historical authority. Most of its funds come from the Ford Foundation and the EU.

Adam Institute for Democracy and Peace
http://www.tolerance-net.org/network/inst/adaminst.html
While it claims to seek peace for all, its list of links, which include some of the worst anti-Israel "peace" organizations, reveals its true aims.
AUPHR - Americans United for Palestinian Human Rights
http://www.auphr.com
To show how impartial they are, there is a page that claims to be the Israeli perspective. The only problem is that it links directly to Gush Shalom who, as we all know, is the hard core of the Israeli " peace" movement!!

B

B'Tselem
http://www.btselem.org
One of the worst of the so-called 'Jewish' sites; it's on every pro-Arab site that recognizes Jews at all!

Bat Shalom
http://www.batshalom.org
They are very big on 'eye-witness' reports of Israeli 'atrocities'!! They are also the sister organization of JCW - Jerusalem Center for Women.

B'rit Tzedek v'Shalom... a.k.a. Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace
http://www.btvshalom.org
It only sees a two state solution and calls for a freeze on Israeli 'settlements'.

Bustan Shalom
http://www.bustanshalom.org
Website was not working; can access info at http://www.ariga.com/humanrights/bustan.shtml

C

CPT - Christian Peacemaker Teams/Hebron
http://www.prairienet.org/cpt/hebron.php
A group of mostly 'Friends' aka Quakers who are very anti-Israel and anti-Semitic!

Common Dreams
http://www.commondreams.org
This site makes it onto my personal **** list! Look at their links page to 'peace' groups that ALL belong on this list -- http://www.commondreams.org/mideast.htm -- to say nothing of their own 'reports' and you'll see why.

ColoradoCampaign for Middle East
http://www.ccmep.org

Courage to Refuse
http://www.couragetorefuse.org
They consider themselves to be the most influential "peace" movement in Israel today and they might be right. They have twisted both history and politics so that Israel only exists as a step to "Palestine"!

Center for Positive Practices
http://www.positivepractices.com
Another site that uses the 'jewish' book as its main resource: http://www.positivepractices.com/PeaceEducation/PeaceEducation.html

Coalition of Women for a Just Peace
http://www.coalitionofwomen4peace.org/coalitionid/englishidcoaliti
on.htm
A collection of some of the worst spreaders of anti-Israel propaganda under the banner of 'peace'!

CASI - Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq
http://www.casi.org.uk
This is a group at the University of Cambridge, UK and it is promoting some of the most disgusting lies about Israel it has been my misfortune to read. Check out http://www.casi.org.uk/info/undocs/s2000-1119.pdf

Christian Aid
http://www.christian-aid.org.uk
A UK organization, who in addition to the usual anti-Israel activities, has a fundraising film, "Peace Under Siege" which proves that, in addition to rendering aid to everyone but Israelis, its other goal is the de-legitimation of Israel.

Caritas
http://www.caritas.org
It claims to be a Catholic confederation of relief organizations, but its true colors were evident when they presented a horribly anti-Semitic/anti-Israel poster. It was so bad that it was condemned by the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies
http://www.cihrs.org/HOME/Home.htm
Their calling the anti-terrorism wall an "apartheid barrier that is being established by the occupation Israeli forces in the West Bank." There is no acknowledgement that the wall is only necessary because of the unrelenting murderous attacks of the "Palestinians".
http://www.cihrs.org/focus/bahy_apartheid.htm (Of course the wall is being constructed where it is because that is where the killers come from!)

Center for Justice and Accountability
http://www.cja.org
While this group does not specifically list Israel as a "human rights abuser", they don't recognize the Israeli victims of "suicide bombings", either. Also, their source links page is composed of major offenders who are on this list (or will be as soon as I get to them). See: http://www.cja.org/relatedLinks/relatedLinks.shtml#international

​

A directory of links covering all aspects of "human rights".

Defense for Children International, Israel
http://www.dci.org.il
Talks about rights for Arab minors in Israeli jails but neglects both the fact that there is good reason for having them there and that there is no proof of human rights violations against them!

DWRC - Democracy and Workers' Rights Center in Palestine
http://www.dwrc.org/first.html
They have a really vile petition linked to their home page: http://www.petitiononline.com/dwrcP1/petition.html which supposedly is about the right of "Palestinians" to work but includes sentences like this one: "protect Palestinian workers from torture and harassment by Israeli extremists and soldiers and to protect their right to life"; you can also read their anti-Israel statements at: http://www.dwrc.org/solidaritycampaign

E

Episcopal Peace Fellowship
http://www.episcopalpeacefellowship.org/home.htm
Check out their Israel/Palestine Peace Packet!! http://www.episcopalpeacefellowship.org/PentecostPeacePacket.pdf

**ECCMEI - Essays and Commentary on Contemporary Middle Eastern Issues
http://www.eccmei.net/~eccmei/j/orgs.html
This is a blanket organization that lists most of the so-called "Jewish" friends of "palestine" groups (84 if them, most if not all are either on this list or will be) which are among the worst anti-Israel sites on the Internet!!! It ONLY has a 'palestinian' flag on its site!!! It also has a separate list for so-called individual 'Jews' (74 of them!!!) who have publicly proclaimed
their alliance with the enemies of Israel at http://www.eccmei.net/~eccmei/j/indiv.html

EMHRN - Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network
http://www.euromedrights.net/english/engelsk.html
An umbrella group of 27 European nations which receives 80% of its funding from the EU and is blatantly anti-Israel. Their website is available in French, English and Arabic.

F

**Fellowship of Reconciliation
http://www.forusa.org
Mostly focuses against war in Iraq BUT with very little effort -- put 'Israel' in their search bar -- you can come up with articles like this one:
http://www.forusa.org/Fellowship/Sep-Oct_99/BetterWay.html

Friendship Village
http://friendshipvillage.homestead.com/Articles.html
Behind their pretty rhetoric, it is clear that the 'friendship' they are advocating is the same as the one between Uri Avneri (a major contributor!) and Arafat!!! Other noted anti-Israeli writers add their bit to the articles page at http://friendshipvillage.homestead.com/Articles.html

Ford Foundation
http://www.fordfound.org
The Ford Foundation heavily funds "Palestinian charities" and other NGOs that have either direct links with terrorists or support them by publishing their anti-Israel propaganda and funding them. See their Israel page: http://www.fordfound.org/news/more/israel/index.cfm ; it could easily be taken directly from the other "peace" groups on the list.

G

Global Coalition for Peace
http://www.globalcoalitionforpeace.net
Their 'Jewish representative' is none other than the self-styled 'rabbi' Michael Lerner!!!

GIPP - Grassroots International for the Protection of Palestinians
http://www.pngo.net and http://www.pngo.net/GIPP/index.htm
Better take a look at their European partners - PNGO - Palestinian Non-Governmental Organizations Network!!!

Greenpeace
http://www.greenpeace.org

GushShalom
http://www.gush-shalom.org/english/index.html
I don't have enough expletives to describe this site and its heinous leader, Uri Avnery!!! Among other despicable comments on this site is Avnery's statement that the cause of the 'troubles' is Sharon's failure "to fortify the position of Yasser Arafat [s who is] the only effective partner for peace." http://www.flwi.rug.ac.be/cie/Palestina/palestina77.htm

Gaza Community Mental Health Program
http://www.gcmhp.net
This is a typical anti-Israel propaganda site with a fancy cover title!

 

[CDNBear]

H

Hebron Restoration Committee
http://www.cpt.org/hebron/HebRCBrochure.htm
The site, in English -- which is under construction -- and Arabic, openly promotes false ideas of the history of Hebron and "Palestine" along with blatant hatred for Israelis. It is well funded by the Saudis as well as European governments.

HIC - Habitat International Coalition
http://www.hic-mena.org/main.htm
They concentrate on the destruction of "Palestinian" homes and "human rights violations" without even including the name of Israel -- they refer to Israel as the "Zionist Entity" -- in its list of countries where they help".

HRW - Human Rights Watch
http://www.hrw.org
Their constant condemnation of Israel while excusing every act of the "Palestinians" is their defining characteristic. Just read their articles on Israel's anti-terrorist wall for some examples http://hrw.org/campaigns/israel/barriers-weblinks.htm

Hague Appeal for Peace
http://www.haguepeace.org
They are not OPENLY anti-Israel -- although they link to groups which ARE! -- but their own publication contain this horrid quote from Edward Said (!): http://www.haguepeace.org/index.php?name=speech9 That doesn't sound 'impartial' to me!!!

Holy Land Trust (HOLT)
http://www.holylandtrust.org
This site was found on Cactus48 as well as other sites which openly preach hatred of Israel.

Hamoked - Center for the Defense of the Individual
http://www.hamoked.org.il/index_en.asp
It is also found at http://www.ariga.com/humanrights/hamoked.shtml They are BAD; one of their projects was working with B'Tselem on perpetrating the "Jenin Scandal" http://members.citynet.net/sootypaws/palestine/pal2.html

Human Strategies for Human Rights
http://www.hshr.org
Although their website does not specifically address situations in Israel or the "Palestinians"; they link to many of the strongest anti-Israel sites. http://www.hshr.org/oct92003unenglish.htm

Humanitarian Resource Institute International Peace Center
http://www.humanitarian.net/peace
The umbrella organization for many groups on the list including the very biased United States Institute of Peace and the United Nations.

HDIP - Health Development Information and Policy Institute
http://www.hdip.org
This "humanitarian" NGO serves as a consultant to a wide variety of organizations including WHO, European Community, UNDP, UNICEF, and the World Bank - all of whom have been shown to fund terrorist groups. It uses its enormous funding to spread anti-Israel propaganda around the world.

I

Institute for Public Accuracy
http://www.accuracy.org
There are too many 'reports' to list; pick any one under Israel and look for yourself. People like Saul Landau and Phyllis Bennis work there and many other well-known anti-Israel writers frequently publish there!

International Action Center
http://www.iacenter.org
Be sure and check out their article: "Palestinian Resistance to Israeli Terror"!!

International Forum for Justice and Peace in Palestine
http://www.ariga.com/humanrights/ifjpp.shtml
They don't seem to have their own web page. They are based in the Netherlands and they want to "stop the extremist minorities on both sides of the divide." Never mind that there are no Israeli 'suicide' bombers! One of their major contacts is Tanya Reinhart, the well-known anti-Israel propagandist.

ICCPP - The Israeli Council for Israeli-Palestinian Peace
http://members.tripod.com/~other_Israel/ICIPP.html
This site promotes every anti-Israel propaganda line there is!

**International ANSWER
http://www.internationalanswer.org
This site talks mainly about Iraq but it doesn't 'neglect' Israel!!: In fact, promoting pro-"Palestinian" propaganda is obviously its main purpose.
http://www.internationalanswer.org/news/update/071802commission.html

International Solidarity Movement
http://www.palsolidarity.org
This is the group responsible for supplying "human shields" like Adam Shapiro and "martyrs" like Rachel Corrie. They are an extremely dangerous, well-funded group that has been directly linked to at least two known terrorists.

ICPRI - Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information
http://www.ipcri.org/index1.html
The "information" that they give out is the usual propaganda with some new twists! Read "Force the Palestinians to Surrender and End the War" for a sample of their publications!

Ittijah
http://www.ittijah.org/about/about01.html
They seek to re-link Arabs inside Israel with those throughout the Middle East; they state outright that they are against normalization of relations between Israel and Arab countries because all the 'palestinians' demands have not been met!!!!

ICAHD - Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions
http://www.icahd.org/eng
Although their name doesn't include the word "peace", their organization claims to promote it -- of course, the only peace they will accept is "Palestine" where Israel now is.

ICJ - International Commission of Jurists
http://www.icj.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=11&lang=en
While pursuing its stated mission of international justice, ICJ has time to promote flagrantly anti-Israel policies and give direct support to such openly anti-Israel organizations as LAW, Al-Haq, and PCHR.

International Federation of Human Rights
http://www.fidh.org/_news.php3
If you want to learn the truth behind their pretty ideals, read any of their articles on Israel; their grossly biased slant is overwhelming. Try reading: "Emergency Resolution on the Occupied Palestinian Territories" http://www.fidh.org/article.php3?id_article=718

ICHRDD - International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic
Development (Canada)
http://www.ichrdd.ca/splash.html
Although claiming to an independent organization, they were created by an act of Parliament and receive over four million dollars a year from the Canadian government. Although they are supposedly required to be impartial, in actuality they act as a propaganda vendor for some of the most radical "Palestinian" groups.

I'lam - Media Center for Arab Palestinians in Israel
http://www.ilamcenter.org
Although claiming to be a force for fairness in reporting in order to achieve its "humanitarian" aims (which brings in millions of dollars both from the New Israel Fund and the EU!), their true purpose is to de-legitimize Israel!

IPA - International Peace Academy
http://www.ipacademy.org
Just a look at its list of partners and links, many of whom are on this list, as well as its close association with the UN, is enough to know that Israel is not fairly represented -- in fact, it is not represented at all!

These "jews" don't even call our holiest city by its correct name - Jerusalem; they refer to it as "Al Quds!!" Although this site has the appearance of a separate organization, it links directly to ECCMEI!!

Jews for Justice in the Middle East
http://www.cactus48.com/truth.html
I can't find an actual website for the group. Supposedly, 'they' wrote a history book called, "The Origin of the Palestine-Israel Conflict", which is listed as a main resource by just about every horrid anti-Israel site on the
Internet! BUT, I can't find any evidence that they are an actual organization, let alone a group of JEWS!!!! It sounds like they are 'Jewish' the same way that a 'Jews for Jesus' evangelist is 'Jewish'!!! The only address that I could find for them is a Berkeley, CA PO box!!! Common Dreams linked them to Cactus48 -- a Christian site which promotes anything anti-Jewish written by a Jew -- and a truly disgusting one!

Jewish Voices Against the Occupation of Palestinian Territories
http://www.jvao.org
The title says it all; they managed to raise over $75,000 for their 'cause' in their last campaign to help build a "Palestinian" state!

JCW - Jerusalem Center for Women
http://www.j-c-w.org/sar2002.htm
The sister organization to Bat Shalom, it operates independently. Although they claim to be for peace, like everyone else they are flagrantly using the concept of peace to curry favor - and funds - for the "Palestinian cause". They also specifically excuse the "suicide" bombers and make all the usual accusations against Israel and the US.

JMCC - Jerusalem Media and Communication Center
http://www.jmcc.org
A news center that is heavily funded by the Ford Foundation while actively promoting anti-Israel propaganda.

K

Kansas Committee for a Just Peace in the Middle East

Kansas City Iraq Task Force
http://www.kciraqtaskforce.org/index.htm
Yet another anti-war site that promotes blatantly anti-Israel propaganda on its web site! Check out Edward Said's article which is linked here: http://www.palestine-pmc.com/details.asp?cat=4&id=133

L

Law Society
http://www.lawsociety.org
Another name for Palestinian Society for the Protection of Human Rights and the Environment and an excellent example of how something can have a foul stench by any name!

This group is thoroughly interconnected with Women for Palestine) which is a thoroughly disgusting hate group.

Middle East Nonviolence and Democracy (MEND)
http://www.mend-pal.org

MADRE

Supposedly they are only interested in pursuing human rights for women and children everywhere, this group is glaringly anti-Israel. As a matter of fact, they don't even list Israel among the countries where they give their support - just "Palestine"!!!

Middle East Children's Alliance for Peace
http://www.mecaforpeace.org
Such a nice title, don't you think? But, it's as full of anti-Israel propaganda as any other!

Middle East Research and Information Project
http://www.merip.org

Middle East Crisis Committee
http://www.thestruggle.org
Also known as "The Struggle" -- which is also the name of its newsletter which is a sounding board for Israel Shamir's articles -- they are openly antagonistic to Israeli Jews!

An anti-war group that includes LOTS of anti-Israel propaganda from its partners such as Indymedia which is not a 'peace' group but IS blatantly anti-Israel!

PeaceWatch
http://www.ariga.com/peacewatch
I have had personal dealings with the owner, Ami Isseroff; he is determined to paint Israel as evil while whitewashing the Arabs even if he has to lie to do so. He is also named an "authority" on the "Deir Yassin massacre"!!!

Palestinian Center for Rapprochement Between People
http://www.rapprochement.org/olivepicking/december.htm
This is the parent organization for the ISM. It lists among "political parties" the Hamas and Hizb-ut-Tahrir terrorist groups and considers Ali Abunimah, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee acolyte, Electronic Intifada founder and Al Awda devotee, a legitimate source of news.

Protest.Net
http://pax.protest.net/Peace
This site could be tailor-made for this list -- a group that talks about peace and justice for everyone BUT Israelis!!!!

Disgusting presentation of anti-Israeli lies and propaganda under the guise of checking on 'rights'!

[CDNBear]

Q
R

Rabbis for Human Rights
http://rhr.israel.net/overview.shtml
A truly disgusting group; they actually give money to the families of 'suicide' bombers!!! All of their leaders belong to the HUC (Reform) and all I got when I contacted the director of the HUC about the blatant lies on the RHR website was a statement saying that "the Rabbis had the right to follow their conscience."!!!

S

Sojourners
http://www.sojo.net
Especially check out their "Images of Occupation";
http://www.sojo.net/special/index.cfm/action/multimedia/content/palestine.html

Shalom Center

The letters that their rabbis write are enough to make one physically ill!!! They have strong ties to Tikkun and Michael Lerner.

One of their resources is HEZBOLLAH!!!!

This group is based at Mt. Holyoke College and they use the "jewish" book as its main resource!!!

Tikkun
http://www.tikkun.org
Michael Lerner's organization!!!! If there is an anti-Israel, pro-"Palestinian" view to profess and spread, they do it!! They are also extremely prolific and are used as "proof" of the illegitimacy of Israel's claims and the rightness of all the "Palestinian" ones more than any other American "peace" group.

U

United States Institute for Peace
http://www.usip.org
Definitely shows a strong anti-Israel bias!

United for Peace
http://www.unitedforpeace.org
This site is directly tied with the Fellowship of Reconciliation site; a very bad one.

United Nations
http://www.un.org
No one who looks at the composition of the UN Security Council or who has examined the past Resolutions can doubt that the UN is blatantly anti-Israel. Not to mention the millions of dollars that it gives outright to
"Palestinian refugees"

V

Voices in the Wilderness
http://www.nonviolence.org/vitw
This group deliberately mixes up the Iraqi War and the "rights of the Palestinians in occupied Palestine". They do a lot of touring of places around to US to garner support for the "Palestinian cause" especially from people who oppose the war in Iraq.

This group is interconnected with Mothers for Peace.

War Resisters International

This is a German site whose main focus is Israeli people refusing to serve in the IDF. Why War? http://www.why-war.com/index.shtml They are directly linked with several blatantly anti-Israel organizations, including Not In My Name!!!!

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
http://wrmea.com
A very slanted pro-"Palestinian" propaganda site! It is cited by some Arab sites as the only non-biased group in Washington!

The Women's Center - Shu'fat Refugee Camp
They don't appear to have their own web site. An East Jerusalem group whose mission is to "strengthen community participation and study the peace agenda." Of course, "peace" to the "Palestinians" now means dismantling all of Israel and eliminating all Jews. Read the article from the Electronic Intifada for more information on the camp: http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article2015.shtml

OMCT - World Organization Against Torture
http://www.woatusa.org/index.html
All impartiality disappears where Israel is concerned. Read the disgusting statement against Israel at: http://www.al-bushra.org/israel/world.htm -- you might take note of who is citing their report as well!

WIPAN - Women's International Peace Activist Network
They don't have their own website; they are the international branch of the Jerusalem Center for Women.

Thanks you really have enough for me to read for quite a while. I love to read these articles because I want to try to get both sides of an issue. The thing I would wish is that we could get articles without bias or more influence from one side or the other. We sure cannot depend on our newspapers, look at the bang up job the do with the natives in this country imagine when the report is from other countries.

Interesting stuff, Bear, and a huge boost for society's technophobes that believe the Internet subverts more than it educates. Although I love the net, I agree with them.

 

[Dexter Sinister]

... the Internet subverts more than it educates. Although I love the net, I agree with them.

Yeah, I think that's exactly right. The Internet hasn't been the great leveller and educator and equalizer it was originally touted to be, though sites like this one mostly function that way. Instead, much of the Internet seems to consist of cranky little closed communities of weirdos who support and encourage each other into thinking that what they believe is normal and correct. Time was that even in a really large city, if you were some kind of bizarro you'd be unlikely to find many like yourself to reinforce your folly. With the Internet you can find hundreds, sometimes thousands, of weirdos like yourself, and form a closed mutual support group and admiration society. Anybody with an agenda, access to a computer, and very modest skills with html, can get out there and try to sell whatever stupid ideas they have and attract like-minded morons.

Ever seen any of the "furry" sites, for instance? People who like to dress up to look like stuffed toys. Some people find that erotically stimulating. They even have conventions, and post pictures... eewwww! And there are some truly strange sites devoted to Star Trek, predictably. You can find homoerotic fiction involving Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock... Ah, the list is endless. There's nothing you can imagine that's so bizarre and perverse that you can't find a community on the Internet devoted to it.

And predictably, there's even a web site devoted to documenting this folly: Something Awful, at http://www.somethingawful.com/ subtitled, "The Internet Makes You Stupid." Worth a look, especially their "Awful Link of the Day." It's easy to laugh, but I find a lot of what's out there on the Internet pretty disturbing.

Something that people are still learning is to verify that websites are "valid". The key is to analyze the site for verifiable information. Wikepedia is one place that is subjected to the verifiablity factor.

If there are 300 sites where retards (can't think of the potically correct term offhand) publish their own BS, there are a million. Who are the people that believe everything they read? Probably the imisfit, oddbawl 2.5th percentile that can't function in their own community. Would you agree that pedophiles were one of the first groups to seek out reinforcement of that behavior for general acceptance?

I like your first point. I've been curious about the transfer of those reinforced traits to daily non-virtual social interactions. People use the net not only to seek out like minded people, but also to reinforce their abnormal or anti-social behaviors - like swearing, bullying, antagonizing, intimidating, name-calling and put downs to argue a point. Additionally, finding like minded people to reinforce negative personality traits has resulted in a relapse to playground like social behavior, including the formation of cliques and other socially immature behaviors. Is this relapse seeping back into day-to-day real social interactions ... perhaps starting with bizarre cliques? I'm just thinking out loud ... but

For example, if I were to say that the United States of America is using Romanian senior citizens for fertilzation guinea pigs, and someone didn't like what I said, their remarks could deteriorate to personal remarks and insults. In non-virtual life, that really isn't acceptable in normal social settings. However, in the virtual world, it's not only acceptable, but often encouraged with the clique mentality. The situation has occured in a "fight to the death" sort of action where one or more people are banned from whatever site, but not necessarily. It's just an observation of virtual communication and how that same type of communication would really not be okay in most environments ... but will that change?

Case in point -- the ultra right wing Washington Times:


http://www.baltimorechronicle.com/2006/122706Parry.shtml

''
The GOP's $3 Billion Propaganda Organ

by ROBERT PARRY
Part One--The American Right achieved its political dominance in Washington over the past quarter century with the help of more than $3 billion spent by Korean cult leader Sun Myung Moon on a daily propaganda organ, the Washington Times, according to a 21-year veteran of the newspaper.
George Archibald, who describes himself “as the first reporter hired at the Washington Times outside the founding group” and author of a commemorative book on the Times’ first two decades, has now joined a long line of disillusioned conservative writers who departed and warned the public about extremism within the newspaper. In an Internet essay on recent turmoil inside the Times, Archibald also confirmed claims by some former Moon insiders that the cult leader has continued to pour in $100 million a year or more to keep the newspaper afloat. Archibald put the price tag for the newspaper’s first 24 years at “more than $3 billion of cash.”
At the newspaper’s tenth anniversary, Moon announced that he had spent $1 billion on the Times – or $100 million a year – but newspaper officials and some Moon followers have since tried to low-ball Moon’s subsidies in public comments by claiming they had declined to about $35 million a year.
The figure from Archibald and other defectors from Moon’s operation is about three times higher than the $35 million annual figure.
The apparent goal of downplaying Moon’s subsidy has been to quiet concerns that Moon was funneling vast sums of illicit money into the United States to influence the American political process in ways favorable to right-wing leaders – and possibly criminal cartels – around the world.
Though best known as the founder of the Unification Church, Moon, now 86, has long worked with right-wing political forces linked to organized crime and international drug smuggling, including the Japanese yakuza gangs and South American cocaine traffickers.
Moon insiders, including his former daughter-in-law Nansook Hong, also have described Moon’s system for laundering cash into the United States and then funneling much of it into his businesses and influence-buying apparatus, led by the Washington Times.
The Times, in turn, has targeted American politicians of the center and left with journalistic attacks – sometimes questioning their sanity, as happened with Democratic presidential nominees Michael Dukakis and Al Gore. Those themes then resonate through the broader right-wing echo chamber and into the mainstream media.
Washington Times articles are routinely cited by C-SPAN, for instance, without explanations to viewers that the newspaper is financed by an ultra-right religious cult leader, a convicted tax fraud and a publicly identified money-launderer. Most American listeners just think they’re getting straightforward news.
The Times also has led attacks on investigators who threatened to expose crimes committed by Republican and right-wing operatives. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Times targeted Iran-Contra special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh, who recounted in his memoir Firewall the importance of the Times in protecting the Reagan-Bush administration’s legal flanks.
When journalistic and congressional investigations began uncovering evidence of drug trafficking by the Nicaraguan contra rebels, the Washington Times counter-attacked, too, although in that case the Moon organization may have had a direct interest in containing the probes that could have exposed its relationship with South American drug lords.
Buying Influence
Besides the estimated $3 billion-plus invested in the Washington Times, Moon has spread money around to influential right-wingers, often coming to their rescue when they are facing financial ruin as happened with Moral Majority founder Jerry Falwell in the mid-1990s. [See below.] Moon also has paid lucrative speaking fees to political figures, such as former President George H.W. Bush who has appeared at Moon-organized functions in the United States, Asia and South America. At the launch of Moon’s South American newspaper in 1996, Bush hailed Moon as “the man with the vision.”
Moon has key defenders, too, in the U.S. Congress, such as Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. In 2004, Moon was given space in the Senate’s Dirksen building for a coronation of himself as “savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent.” [See The Hill, June 22, 2004]''

I was actually talking about this with my physics prof before the break. He randomly ranted about the industrial revolution and what it's meant to humankinds enlightenment and general understanding. I found him after class to talk more, I think the internet and computers in general have been just as detrimental. Do you know how many students need to be told how to write a paper without using close to 100% web links and wiki crap? Or how many students go their whole academic careers without learning to search through the actual book stacks in a Library? Spelling. How many people could write a paper without using the spell check function to clean up internet dialect?

Conversely, I don't have the physically dextrous skills that my father learned from his father. They would have shuddered at the thought of calling an electrician, plumber etc. I learned some from my father and uncles, basic stuff that will get me by. More complicated things require help from family or someone trained to do it for a living, again something my grandfather would have found odd in his day. To much specialization. I really wish for simpler times when I ponder this. Maybe I'll join one of those small communities where everyone has their one or two areas of specialization.

 

[L Gilbert]

I find research over the net not a whole lot different than research in a library, except here at home if I get hungry or thirsty I can have a bite or a slurp. I used to get Scientific American and other magazines in the mail. Now I get them digitally, for instance.

 

[Tonington]

Ahh, I suppose I should clear that up. Undoubtedly the web has it's pros as well as cons. I use the e-journals too, my small school can't possibly have them all. I was referring to the use of sites like those mentioned earlier. The use of .org and .com and the like, especially wiki. Wiki is great at organizing content, thats what makes encyclopedias so great, not so great when the content is questionable.

Like Dex said earlier, there is a .org out there for all the loony morons with their ego stroking b.s.

Everyone has their internet metaphors, I personally prefer this clip from Futurama:
Virtual Internet.

 

[CDNBear]

Personaly, that is why I like this particular forum. Sure there are a dozen forums I could haunt and be propped up and have both my position and ego bolstered, but why. What satisfaction is there in that. I prefer a challenge, I find that here. Whether I find someones position, theory or opnion wishy washy or baseless, is irelavent. It is the intellectual challenge that the smart and exciting people, who put them forth in the first place provode that I find irresistable.

Besides that, this thread was acually an expose on how the so called .com peace movement is actually supporting anti Israel dialogue and rhetorical hate speach, but whatever.

 

[tamarin]

The net does enfranchise all those who enter its doors. And once enfranchised, they tend to become rabid. A lot of the older generation (40+) are still disconnected and I'm sure, as they see movements lionized by net connections, appear in their communities, they're not impressed. But the greatest effect has been on the young. The race to exploit them is red hot. Various web communities that cater to them have huge influence in what they think and how they behave. Not a lot of it's for the good. I've been given the grand tour several times of myspace by my niece and it is remarkable what a cesspool it is.
Western society has a future but it's not the one I thought about when I was a kid. I think the web has made the West more vulnerable as a society. We revel in the Internet's diversity and its freedoms. But we don't have a centre anymore.

I haven't seen 40 for a very long time....

Like any cross-cultural, cross-demographic, cross-national media organ (which is what the Internet is) influences shaping the thinking and attitudes of the great unwashed will be readily seen in the contributions people make to the medium. We (individuals) seek acceptance from everyone around us for our beliefs, our opinions and our convictions. The Internet is populated not by the greater masses of humanity but by those lucky enough or wealthy enough, and living in societies where there's a reasonable chance that electricity will be available, and that mayhem and violence will abate to the degree where intercourse across the wired universe is possible.

There's nothing extraordinary about the currents of hatred and dissatisfaction with the status quo we see revealed through missiles launched into cyberspace.

We embraced the idea that antiseptic procedures would bring an end to infections following surgical medical interventions and that idea had to be pounded into the thinking of the medical community. We embraced the idea that our lawgivers and our governments were telling us the truth....we know that's not the case and the facility provided the spin-meisters through television and the Internet to a greater degree than than public broadcast permits that truth about our complacency with non-truth to be challenged.

There's never been an opportunity for so many to participate in the dialogue of a planet. We are, just like our adolescent fascination with missiles, biological weapons and atomic incineration merely children when it comes to integrating and internalizing the characterizations of our "world" from the lips and pens of those with axes to grind and agendas to pursue....

The Internet is the repository of every nutbar and radical perspective our civilization ...our species can create. When television first appeared, it was hailed as the force that would bind humanity together...NOT!

What TV became and what the Internet could become is the continuation of a credo and a philosophy that allows the people of this planet to believe that we're all the same and that our goals our beliefs our values and our morality are all available to everyone at the local WalMart or on e-bay....

Microsoft and Google, "blogging" and "spamming" are artifacts of a civilization evolving into the next stage, and just as much attention needs to be focused on the dynamic as was missing when TV became the universal panacea for galloping ignorance....

Before the Internet (yes young folk there was a time when you actually had to go to a library and read a book) the very same skepticism and caution had to be exercised in interpreting and understanding the material you read, but also the impetus behind the genesis for this or that particular message to be enshrined in paper and cardboard...

For the vast majority of humanity the Internet is still a curiosity, or a phenomenon that exists as a participatory involvement...well beyond their means and capability. Just like reading and writing....

I humbly submit that we're far better off as a species to have the Internet and all the crud that comes with it than we are to slip into the complacency of accepting what the New York Times, the Toronto Telegram or the Vancouver Sun tells us ....is the truth behind what's happening in the world.

Does this require some effort beyond the sound-byte mentality of the thirty-second attention span cultivated by Madison Avenue and Bay Street?

Absolutely.

 

[tamarin]

Mike, a low key but impassioned response! I can agree with many of the sentiments expressed. The Internet is a "curiosity' still for many and remains out of reach to the majority of the globe's citizens. It has become a haven for net tribes and a home for the dispossessed of a thousand disparate philosophical and cultural persuasions.
I just hope you're right. That the web is evolving. That it will become more efficient and democratic. That something intrinsically good will win out. That it will be something to make us and our world better.
But what I think is happening is that we're losing our focus. Too much of a good thing ain't. Communication has become so splintered and fragmented in cyberspace, the emergence of blogs and vlogs inviting further segmentation, that wired societies are ceasing to function as directed groups.
This posting board has more traffic than many but most boards are just soapboxes less the soap. Most blogs are unread. Most community forums and threads poorly attended. Cyber hotspots are filled with folk
more interested in being cool than thinking. The net is a huge social phenomenon but as a springboard for political consciousness it's a flop.
In the days when key newspapers allowed a clear polarization of opinion and people could register their beliefs through them and apply pressure by the weight of that opinion I think our influence on government was stronger.
Now dissent is often easily deflected because it lacks a determined and broadbased core. The Internet gives its participants the illusion of influence. And that is one of its chief failings.
We're busy building a future in Canada and one of our helpers is the Internet. Personally, most days it ain't doing much for Santa.

Do you appreciate how difficult it is for me to avoid pushing the book I'm writing that looks at the evolution of "communication"...

I start with basic stuff like Shanon and move on to Marshal McLuhan then to David Cronenberg and William Gibson...

Sort of a "Yaqi in the Bouroughs" (with appologies to Carlos Castenedas) perspective on the modern tower of babel.....the new "super-highway" of amputation....
