December 11, 2007 (LPAC)--"What I want to emphasize," Lyndon LaRouche said this morning, "is that I am very serious about Wikipediaphiles." What you are dealing with, is a drastic shortening of attention-span among victims of MySpace, Facebook, and the like. "Which is again, the same thing that you are getting with the shooters, on the killer games. What you are getting here, especially in the 14-18 age group, but also some older people,-- you are getting an extremely abbreviated attention span, which has crippling effects now. I think they have trouble getting from one end of a short sentence to the other.

"You get scrambled, not just fragmented sentences. Wikipedia, with Jimmy Wales and company, and all the people who are behind this,--" LaRouche continued, "Wikipedia is the H.G. Wells program. You have something which everybody cites, essentially. It's on the internet, and it's the dictionary. You Google. And when you Google, you go to Wikipedia. This becomes truth. And you find that Wikipedia changes its definitions of references as it evolves. It eliminates what it said before, and it says something different. The opposite thing, or something different."

So therefore, this is the synthetic history idea, which is H.G. Wells. Wells called it the "Permanent World Encyclopedia." [link to pamphlet] Now you call it, "Wikipediaphiles!"

Remember George Orwell's 1984. The job of Winston Smith, the protagonist, was to change history, by changing old newspaper records to match the new truth as decided by the Party.

"Remember that George Orwell was the guy, who, together with the two crazy brothers--Aldous and Julian Huxley--the three of them were the guys who took the Kool-Aid, in this case, LSD. They took the natural Kool-Aid, LSD, and they were all conditioned under the direction of the patronage of Wells, who was their patron, but under the direction of Alistair Crowley. So it's a Satanic cult."

"The problem we have, to combat that, is, how do you combat an absolute idiot on the question of an argument?", LaRouche asked. "So therefore, you have to make the idiocy of this thing, the issue. And thus, you say, `Oh, you poor idiot. You're a Wikipediaphile.' Hoo Hoo. Don't you Google! Don't you Google at me! Who are you, Barney Google?"
