In this twelfth survey of the web, The WAWG Index category group average was up by 194.7 percent from August 2006. Of the fourteen categories tracked, 2 were down slightly, 12 were up quite a bit, and 0 were unchanged. The cumulative change for the index is up 259 percent since October 2005, and at a new high.
By far, the largest change for September, at 1,648%, was for “obsession with crime and punishment”. The next largest increase was for “rampant sexism” at 192%. In third place was “obsession with national security” – 178%.
The largest drop for the month was 31 percent for “fraudulent elections.â€
A random sampling of the search results for those items up by triple digits, appears to be the result of many postings of Lawrence W. Britt’s 14 characteristics of fascism, which helped lead to the creation of this site.
Maybe this index is taking on a new meaning: an awakening to the single-party trends that have been happening for years as opposed to trends sliding by unnoticed.
