:Amazingly, [[Simple English Wikipedia]] was never listed as one of the [[enemy projects]] here, my mistake.  Well we'll see if they realize they are creating [[unequal power relationship]]s by not defining [[social network]], [[power network]], etc., which are absolutely essential to teach non-native English speakers the lingo of dealing with the [[power structure]]... for now it's fine to consider them "neither essential nor enemy" and just basically ignore them.

[http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia Wales writes of his vile ambitions for Wikimedia]:
"I'd like to distribute cheaply-printed paperback copies of Wikipedia to every school in every country in Africa, in English or French as the local circumstances dictate. (I'd prefer native tongues, of course, but en and fr are more likely to be ready and useful soon.)"
:This is the ultimate enemy project, as it would put bad ideas like [[w:GDP]] (notice, that article has no critical view), [[w:power structure]] being always and only [[w:hierarchy]] (as in Wikipedia itself, Empires, and tribes and organized crime gangs), and no proper coverage of issues like [[deforestation]], into the minds of many children who might otherwise get a correct view of these things.  This project will be opposed at every turn, by all the groups slandered (like moderate [[w:Islamist]]s for instance who pursue [[w:Islam as a political movement]] peacefully, and do not practice the invented ideology [[w:Islamism]] which was created by Americans and Zionists and has nothing to do with the real beliefs of the majority of real Islamists).  It would be better to bring [[Recyclopedia]] to these poor people, but of course, [[Wikimedia]] or its agents have deliberately attacked that project with [[vandalbot]]s and [[denial of service]] attack, to prevent it from becoming a competitor.
"When the time comes, I'd like to put together a budget for that concept, and then go get funding for it, either from the general public, or from someone like Oprah Winfrey who has taken an interest in major projects of that kind. (Or possibly even governments, although as I have said, I have some real qualms about us using tax money.)"
:It will be relatively easy to discredit [[Wikimedia]] with such responsible and compassionate people.  Its many [[GFDL]] violations are good enough to keep any major funder or donor away from it.  [[Trolls]] will do this dirty work.
How would [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] run a developing nation project that would be actually responsible and effective for these readers?
