Because let's get rid of anything our government did that was somehow good. It's been awesome having the fascists destroy anything and everything that is helpful.

    Can a mirror be hosted somewhere, since it’s in the public domain?

    Probably got captured on the internet archive, someone just needs to make a good compressed repack like Wikipedia does.

    Not my site, but credit where it's due: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/the-world-factbook/

    Up through 2020 is at the archive, and this guy uploaded that latest version to github as well.

    Edit: through 2020 is at the archive as zip downloads. 2021 through 2024 is available as their normal wayback archive for browsing.

    Factchecking isn't tolerated, in ideological-regimes.

    Left or right, or religious/fundamentalist ( fundamentalist-antitheism is a religion too, mr. Dawkins ).

    To be expected.

    ALL hard-reference information sources will be extinguished, systematically, as this process progresses.

    When ONLY ideology remains, THEN rampaging & reacting can be the "law".

    The escalation will continue,

    as I've been trying to warn people.

    Prep, if you want.

    Tippingpoint should happen after mid-Feb, not before.

    Then NO civilrights will remain, only totalitarian .. mess.

    Civil War Part2.

    It never occured to me that the Central Intelligence Agency would ever share any of it with public. Interesting!
