Cliffb reverted as "sockpuppet of banned user". Nevermind that a quick wikipedia review of Cliffb's editing reveals no such thing.

Samiharris is out of control.

Good thing tag teamer Gary...er...um...Mantanmoreland is there to revert, so "samiharris" doesn't get a 3RR.

You're right. This is deeply corrupt and something needs to be done. Like... yesterday. Once someone like Cliffb gets reverted as a Wordbomb sock puppet by stooges, then the situation has clearly gone way too far.

I haven't paid much attention to this business, but it is obvious now that Mantanmoreland, who as far as we know is still protected by shadowy admins at WP, is given carte blanche to manipulate the public's perception of naked short selling via the use of wikipedia. Why? I'd like to know.

Somey recently concluded that Gary Weiss was largely the reason the Review exists. Weiss and Chip Berlet, who is also given special protection on WP for reasons that have never been explained, have debased any ideals other WP editors might have had when they embarked on editing. Of course, we all know the name of the high profile female Canadian admin who implemented this duel protection racket. Again, why? I don't know.

Attempts to rfc these situations, and bring them to eyes of "the community" have been immediately deleted and silenced. See this and this if you don't believe it. Why? I don't know.

Well, Weiss is a financial journalist and Wales used to work in the Chicago financial markets...

Can proof be found that the two knew each other in real life?

The link of Berlet's financial support coming from a Chicago commodities trader beginning in the mid 1980s was made in Scrutinizing the Scrutinizers By Dr. Lenora Fulani, September 20, 1994. Excerpted,

The seminal Fulani-basher is a white man, John Foster "Chip" Berlet. Berlet presents himself to the press as the nation's leading "expert' on me and the New Alliance Party. In actuality he is a former leftist who has been in the employ of something called Political Research Associates (PRA) since 1987. Investigations have revealed that PRA is funded, in large part, by someone named Richard Dennis, a multi-millionaire Chicago commodities trader who was also one of the largest individual contributors to the Democratic Party in 1993.

Who is Richard Dennis? According to Wikipedia,

a former commodities speculator known as the "Prince of the Pit,"[1] was born in Chicago, in January, 1949. In the early 1970s, he borrowed several thousand dollars and reportedly made $200 million in about ten years.

Both Richard Dennis and Chip Berlet were born in Chicago in 1949.
