When The Truth Hurts Delete It… Wikipedia Scrubs “Forward” Entry Clean
Posted by Andrea Ryan on Tuesday, May 8, 2012, 2:12 PM
Truth…
Something Wikipedia doesn’t want us to have, apparently. Last month, Obama launched his new campaign with the slogan, “Forward”, the same slogan famously used by several Communist movements and the Nazi youths in Germany.
Barack Obama’s latest campaign slogan “Forward!” also happens to be a famous Nazi youth marching tune.
But, now it’s gone…
A quick search on Wikipedia revealed that “Forward” was, also, the name used for several Socialist publications. However, once Obama launched his new Communist-themed campaign, the Wikipedia post that had been on the site for a year and a half just mysteriously disappeared. Now, Wikipedia would like you to believe that “Forward” just means the opposite of “backward”. Yeah, and smart is the opposite of stupid.
Independent Journal discovered the airbrushing:
Wikipedia has decided to delete the page titled ‘Forward (generic name of socialist publications.)’
Wikipedia wrote this morning that after reading many comments and “various good points made on either side,” they deemed that there is “little or no connection between the disparate publications of the same or similar name other than similar ideological outlooks.”
That seems awfully peculiar that this happens right now, just weeks after Obama’s campaign announced their slogan would be ‘Forward.’ The page has been up for almost a year and a half, so why now?
Wikipedia says that, “while the publications listed in the article are indeed individually notable, there does not appear to be a unity between them except in terms of sharing some name and being socialist in character.”
So, Wikipedia, you expect me to believe that there is no unity between all of the publications even though they shared the exact same name and socialist political ideology? I’m not buying it. This never would have happened if Obama’s campaign slogan were something other than ‘Forward.’
When Liberals don’t want people to know the truth, they just delete it. Why not? Socialism is the land of make-believe.
UPDATE: The great Michael Ramirez had this to say on Obama’s ‘Forward’ march.

WWWD?
(What would Winston do?)
Answer: he’d drop the offending material right down the memory hole – just like Wikipedia did.
Besides, none of this matters – Freedom is Slavery you know.
bigL commented:
Choose the suggestion of one poster for Obama’s slogan:
“lets’s rob Whitey again!”
We shall see If wikipedia wants to delete that..
decentAmerican commented:
George Orwell rightfully predicted this in “1984″: the main character, Winston, worked for the Ministry of Truth. His job was to alter the past. So, if a citizen became an “unperson”, not only did that person disappear, they were wiped off in all records, and became nonexistent. How could a person have lived if there was no record of him?
Similary, they altered the news and records so that it fit with the narrative of the present. Those who controlled the past, controlled the present.
It is the work of liberals. It is the work of Socialists. It is the work of the devil.

1984 was a warning. Today the left is using it as an instruction book.

Yes, the Wiki is quite practiced at detecting ‘thought-crime’ and other ‘double-plus ungood’ remarks and disappearing them. Go through the articles on Global Warming ….

“When Liberals don’t want people to know the truth, they just delete it.” — You said it, brother.
#1 Valerie is spot-on.
“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed — if all records told the same tale — then the lie passed into history and became truth.
Who controls the past, controls the future;
Who controls the present, controls the past.”
—– from 1984
I guess this is but a single example of the “records cleansing” we can expect for ourselves and our children if we sit idly by and do nothing.

There are still references to it. Look under Publications http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward

As Mooch said in 2008:
“Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation.”
MAJ Mike commented:
Honestly, I don’t think that the minions of THE WON chose “FORWARD” to reflect a new Hitler Jugend. I think that they are mostly clueless about any History before the year 2000.
However, we can have lots of fun punching their buttons over things like this.
I’m reminded of the fact that Field Marshal Blucher cried “Vorwarts, mein kinder!” as he led the Prussian Army against Napoleon. I don’t think any of the Obamabots thought of that either.

Tata….. there goes the contribution I was going to make to Wiki… and they will lose another hit on their site…
Rah Booooooo…
JimmyT commented:
They can delete all they want. Still doesn’t change the fact, as seen in pictures from OSU, people at his “big” campaign announcement were holding “Forward” signs.
Lala commented:
Amazing. I thought I was being paranoid when I copied that wiki article and some related ones about a week ago. It began,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_(generic_name_of_socialist_publications)
“The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other leftwing newspapers and publications. For example, Vpered (Russian language for ‘Forward’) was the name of the publication that Lenin started after having resigned from the Iskra editorial board in 1905 after a clash with Georgi Plekhanov and the Mensheviks.[1]“….
The reference they cited was ^ Ismael, Tareq Y., and Jacqueline S. Ismael. The Communist Movement in Syria and Lebanon. Gainesville [u.a.]: University Press of Florida, 1998. p. 246
I always knew wiki was iffy on scholarship, but did not realize they were so partisan as to remove something that has been available since 2010 and which cites a source from 1998.
