Debout ! les damnés de la terre !
Debout ! les forçats de la faim !
La raison tonne en son cratère :
C’est l’éruption de la fin.
Du passé faisons table rase.
Foule esclave, debout ! debout !
Le monde va changer de base :
Nous ne sommes rien, soyons tout !
- C’est la lutte finale :
- Groupons-nous, et demain
- L’Internationale
- Sera le genre humain.
Proof of corruption in the arbitration committee
For proof of corruption in the arbitration committee, please see Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Gzornenplatz, Kevin Baas, Shorne, VeryVerily. I have called for the resignations or the expulsion of six of the nine active arbitrators. I have also taken the matter to Jimbo Wales, and several other people have complained as well about the gross miscarriage of justice. I don't honestly expect anything to come of my complaint against this kangaroo court, but no one can say that I didn't speak up.
Out of vengeance, a member of the arbitrary arbitration committee imposed a broad "temporary" injunction that prevents me from editing articles on almost any political topic. Those who read German should see below for my thoughts on the subject.
As of 22 November 2004, the "arbitration" committee is on the verge of banning me for roughly 2½ months—an action that it quickly proposed and voted on within hours of my speaking out against some arbitrators who are standing for reëlection. The ban will effectively be permanent, for, as I have said numerous times, I shall never return to a site that has treated me so unjustly. Wikipedia has already lost numerous valuable editors, such as User:Secretlondon, on account of its censorship of left-wing writers. More will surely follow us, and the site will suffer as a result.
About Wikipedia
Its pretensions to NPOV and accuracy notwithstanding, Wikipedia as currently managed is hopelessly slanted towards the right. No topic of political significance can be adequately discussed here; structural defects ensure that.
I expect that the arbitrators will ban me soon for vociferously exposing their corruption. Recently, when they silently took a case by fellow corrupt arbitrator Fred Bauder after having ignored mine for weeks (and also having ignored all of my complaints about their inaction), I told them to go ahead and ban me, since it was clear that that is what they had in mind. Circling the waggons, closing rank, protecting their own. True to form, they have failed to respond. Unaccountability utterly destroys the credibility of the "arbitration" committee, yet they don't seem to care.
Die Gedanken sind frei
Die Gedanken sind frei!
- Wer kann sie erraten?
Sie fliegen vorbei,
- Wie nächtliche Schatten.
Kein Mensch kann sie wissen,
Kein Jäger erschießen
- Mit Pulver und Blei:
- Die Gedanken sind frei!
Ich denke, was ich will,
- Und was mich beglücket;
Doch alles in der Still,
- Und wie es sich schicket.
Mein Wunsch, mein Begehren
Kann niemand verwehren.
- Es bleibet dabei:
- Die Gedanken sind frei!
Und sperrt man mich ein
- Im finsteren Kerker,
Das alles sind rein
- Vergebliche Werke,
Denn meine Gedanken
Zerreißen die Schranken
- Und Mauern entzwei:
- Die Gedanken sind frei!
