Guests, Craig Weiler and Rob Heatherly are both experts on the Guerrilla Skeptics of Wikipedia. Craig first exposed them in 2013 in his book PSI WARS: TED, Wikipedia and the Battle for the Internet, and Rob recently did a deep dive into Wikipedia to unearth their darkest secrets.
Collectively, they depict a clandestine entity exercising influence over segments of Wikipedia for more than ten years. Guerrilla Skeptics manipulate articles spanning diverse subjects, such as parapsychology and UAPs, to fit their skeptical narrative, while tarnishing the reputations of prominent figures whom they deem as promoters of pseudoscience.
BIO: Craig Weiler is a California Bay Area based author and science editor for Paranormal Daily News. He covers controversies in parapsychology, such as a Wikipedia controversy, the TED controversy of 2013 and reported on 10 years of undiscovered research by Russell Gruber Mirror Worlds Research. He is the author of Psi Wars: TED, Wikipedia and the battle for the Internet. He pays the bills with his small construction business on the peninsula in northern California, where he lives with his wife and just enough cats.

Rob’s many interests include physics and ancient history, which led to an exploration of UFO literature and nonhuman intelligences. Forced to retire due to an auto accident in 2009, Rob has continued to contribute to various investigations and research projects that lead to a better understanding of UAP’s and non human intelligence. After watching David Grusch’s Wikipedia page develop in 2023, Rob began his investigations which led to him discovering the secretive Guerrilla Skeptics. He was the first to do a deep dive into their activities, exposing their control of Wikipedia in detail.
