WikiCorporates is a free encyclopedia, focusing primarily on:
Alongside our main objective, we also aim to track government policies by mapping them to timelines; for examples, see Immigration Policy, or the National Probation Service in England and Wales. Wikipedia is great - for some things. But its editorial policies mean it has a built-in blind spot on deep politics, thus leading to superficial information. Additionally, it relies heavily on the official narrative as told by establishment-controlled sources. Worse, Wikipedia's censorship is obscured: as of Feb.2018 its Beginnings: WikiCorporates started life in early 2018 as a personal project to try to discover answers to questions such as: Why is there such a lack of political will to regulate corporations which break the law? Why are govts worldwide colluding with Busine$$ to the point of destroying our planet? Who really makes govt policy? Why do our govts lie to us, when they are well aware of the devastating consequences of their (in)action? We know all these things to be true - and yet, we march to the polls every 5 years, and cast our ballot for more of the same. The project grew to a point where we felt it contained enough information that others would also find it useful; hence the decision to publish it online. WikiCorporates is very much a work in progress; we vastly under-estimated the amount of work, and the quantity of time, the project entails. We make no apologies for messy, half-done pages, but hope you find some useful and informative information. What WikiCorporates is not: We started out only covering UK-related companies and topics. However, because we live in a globalised world, there is a great deal of overlap with other countries. Who We Are
