Snopes

[Deep Knight]

As anyone who has visited a conspiracy chat board knows, they hate Snopes.com and other sites that debunk their many false "facts." The go so far as to make up stories about them being dedicated Communists or being paid by the Democratic Party. So, when a "Satire" website posts a silly article saying they were arrested, these folks ate it up.

SNOPES.COM CEO ARRESTED ON CHARGES OF FRAUD AND CORRUPTION - FINALLY!

FINALLY!!! HAVE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE FOR YEARS NOT TO RELY ON A SNOPES REPORT, THAT SNOPES IS A FRAUD. HE HAS FINALLY SLIPPED UP BIG TIME AND BEEN CAUGHT RED HANDED - LITERALLY!

LOS ANGELES, CA - Snopes.com owners Barbara and David Mikkelson were detained by police today after an unrelated investigation of a Snopes.com editor led police onto a paper trail of corruption, bribery and fraud at the very heart of the fact-checking organization.

Evidence obtained by police has revealed that Snopes.com, which markets itself as "the definitive Internet reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation," has a history of accepting money and favors from left-leaning and pro-Islamic political groups and individuals for helping them to advance their cause by rigging public discourse with selective fact-finding and deliberate manipulation of public opinion.

Late Monday morning, Brian Williston, a Snopes.com editor, who also doubles as the accountant, found himself at a flea market on the outskirts of Los Angeles. As he was browsing the different tables and tents looking for antiques, an old mechanical piano began playing "Dixie's Land", a song that was adopted as a de facto anthem of the Confederacy during the American Civil War and is now considered 'offensive' by some due to its link to the iconography and ideology of the Old South.

The tune sparked an outrage in Williston, who began yelling and cursing those who "would like to bring back slavery and racial separation," and ordering the vendors to "turn off that racist music." When no one nearby claimed to know how to turn off the one-hundred-year-old machine, Williston became violent. He started grabbing various antique objects from the vendors' tables and throwing them at the antique piano in an attempt to silence the music.

A bystander, later identified as William Barksdale, working as a courier for the L.A. Messenger Service, attempted to calm Williston down, saying that "someone is just trying to see if that ANTIQUE piano still works" and "It's only a song! Don't shoot the pianist!" but that only prompted the infuriated editor to redirect his rage to the messenger. Williston, who is white, began to choke Barksdale, who is black, while screaming "Shut up! Shut up!" as the mechanical piano continued to play Dixie's Land in the background.

After some of the shoppers intervened and pried Williston's hands off the courier's throat, the Snopes.com editor fled the scene of the incident. LAPD quickly identified Williston by the personal check he left with one of the vendors, which contained his full name and address. While inside his home, Williston ignored commands to open the door, causing police to use forced entry in order to detain him.

The arresting officer caught Williston slipping some papers under a Persian rug which prompted the police to remove the rug and examine the documents underneath it. One of them turned out to be a handwritten ledger, containing names of well-known individuals and organizations who have been paying Snopes.com to debunk stories that cast them in a bad light, while validating damaging half-truths and rumors about their political opponents.

Having established their website as a 'reputable resource' for validating and debunking stories in American popular culture since 1995, the Mikkelson couple apparently soon found themselves in a position to influence public discourse by punishing or rewarding certain cultural and political biases, and to be paid handsomely for doing it. Before long they were accepting money to promote some rumors and downplay or completely ignore some others, which over the years have brought them millions of dollars, according to the source.

Especially scandalous may be the website's possible collaboration with left-leaning national media organizations, which started with payments to Snopes.com to overlook or validate their inaccurate and biased reporting, and eventually evolved into a full-scale coordinated effort with left-leaning groups and public relation firms to construct a media narrative that gave legitimacy to certain opinions, political causes and public figures, while discrediting other opinions, causes, and public figures.

The list of groups and individuals paying to use the website's clout ranged from local politicians to transnational entities to foreign governments, including Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the Palestinian Authority. None of the specifics or individual names are being revealed while the investigation is still ongoing, but a police source has indicated that "the shockwaves will rock the world of the media and the political establishment."

Several watchdog groups have already condemned Snopes.com as a corrupt organization with zero credibility and urged their readers to disregard any political debunking from this tainted source. But some media experts predict that, given the high-profile names involved, as well as the power and magnitude of the political opinion-generating machine of which Snopes.com was only a small wheel, the story may never be allowed to reach a full-blown scandal and will soon be discarded as an urban legend, joining a long line of other similar stories debunked by Snopes.com.

******************************************************************
I am SO glad this event is being publicized. I have long known that Snopes.com is NOT what most people think it is. It is just a mom and pop organization run by a couple of extremely biased leftist-Marxist people who do not deserve the esteem most people give them. Their answers to truth-seekers reek of prejudice and misinformation. There is nothing wrong with a mom and pop organization but the Mikkelsons do not answer with truth but instead, give their own slanted opinions, and now revealed is another of their reasons; money! Money talks and greed listens. Its not surprising that the GOG-less Mikkelsons would be bought and bribed to use their cleverness for the monied interests to distort truth and assist those who are against the Constitutional Rule of Law, and against We The People.

The People's Cube is a strange site that describes itself as "Politburo and Central Committee of the Socialist Unity Party, Ministry of Truth, Comrades of Armed Organs, Young Pioneer Organizations, Komsomol, Society for Sport and Technology, Society for Advancement of Secondary Sexual Characteristics, People's Political Humor & Satire Nyet Collective, and other groups and collectives of our great Socialist Amerikan Motherland." Anyway, they have all sorts of stuff, much anti-liberal, some just silly "Citizens of Pluto protest US government's surveillance of their planetoid and its moons with New Horizons space drone." This seems to be one of an anti-Snopes series, for example, "Snopes Verifies Snopes is a Hoax - Urban legends website Snopes.com determines its own existence is fabricated." But what I like most is how Freewill verified it in the comments below.

Explain the USMarshalls/DEA agents surrounding Mikkelson and walking with his arms in theirs; also - the Mikkelsons have been under suspicion for years - do you really think the controlled media and those who are paying for the Mikkelsons help will really allow this to come forth publicly? Snopes has been caught multiple times in misrepresentation of facts. Believe it if you want to - don't believe it if you don't want to. The only one who will care will be you.

The story must be accurate as I searched for it elsewhere and found 5 pages of results.

[And he listed 'em and the links too - all copies of thepeoplescube article!]

My favorite comment (from DiscloseTV's copy of this nonsense - why can't people simply look it up and read the disclaimer by the source?)

Right on, brother! I almost can't wait to laugh right in the face of some shill siting Snopes as a source by way of directing them to that article!

Here is the picture from the article.



And here is the picture of the fearsome frog-marched felon that comes up when you search Google images.



Looks just like him! In fact, a bit too much like his mirror image. Hmm....

Explain the USMarshalls/DEA agents surrounding Mikkelson and walking with his arms in theirs? Let me take a wild stab at it. Photoshop?

The Google Images pictures are just false flags to make the sheeple think that there is no New World Order conspiracy going on. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!
