{{FA|Wikispooks:Site Rationale}}
WikiSpooks is an open source encyclopedia of [[deep politics]], a repository of documents and information about deep political events and organisations. It compiles user contributed information to help people pursue alternatuve lines of research and explore ideas and opinions generally not explored in {{ccm}}. Most of the content is from the last century or two. Analysis of historical events from earlier times is particularly welcome especially when it sheds light on the hidden purposes and practices of contemporary deep politics.

We are an open source wiki, so ''unlike [[Wikipedia]]'' all changes to pages are recorded and publicly available. Wikispooks has no bias towards {{ccm}} or such other [[establishment]] institutions - sources are welcomed to the extent that they help shed light on the murky business of [[deep politics]], which by design aims to be difficult to fathom. As a 100% volunteer project, Wikispooks is not beholden to the special interests which define the corporate media.
  
=== Language ===
 
The site is English Language only for now. The MediaWiki platform has comprehensive multi-language facilities but operating them effectively uses both scarce resources and currently unavailable language resources. In other words "English-only" is a resources issue. It does mean that Non-English language documents and articles are not suitable candidates for the site unless competently translated and applicable to the English-speaking world. It is acknowledged that this does restrict the site's scope.

[[Wikipedia]] is good at what it does. However, its editorial policies give it a blind spot around matters of [[deep politics]], so information on such topics is superficial and fragmented at best and often more of a smokescreen. Wikipedia's adherence to the {{on}} as promulgated by the 'reliable sources' of the {{ccm}} effectively mean that, to use an astrological metaphor "''the sun must always be represented as revolving around the earth''".<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei Wikipedia article - Heliocentrism]</ref>

The "Gunpowder Plot" of 1605 in England is an example of how it is possible to marshal copious undisputed facts but nonetheless minimise what is clearly a higher probability interpretation of the episode than "the {{on}}". Popular perception of that event remains consonant with the "official narrative" which has it that the good brave authorities were caught off-guard by a dastardly Popish conspiracy to blow up parliament whilst in session, and that the plot was uncovered and foiled in the nick of time. Does that sound familiar? That is also the way it is presented in the Wikipedia main article <ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot Wikipedia main article on The Gunpowder Plot of 1605]</ref> on the subject, where accusations of 'state conspiracy' are relegated to a single paragraph and copious evidence of agent-provocateuring and facilitating by the authorities of the day do not even warrant a mention.

The fundamental premise of WikiSpooks' editorial policy is that anything which '''Authority''' perceives as a threat is opposed by that authority, generally successfully because of the much greater resources which authority can bring to bear. This power imbalance becomes especially acute where matters of [[Deep Politics]] are involved. A good reference source on this syndrome in action is the small media-monitoring site [[Media Lens]].<ref>[http://www.medialens.org/ Media Lens media monitoring site]</ref> Wikispooks therefore does not aim for a (status quo friendly) ''Neutral Point of View''<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPOV Wikipedia - 'Neutral Point of View']</ref> and does not assume that endorsement by the {{ccm}} of evidence to be an indication of its veracity.

Wikispooks logo FAQ.png

Wikispooks is an open licensed, open source encyclopedia of deep politics. This whole site is freely downloadable.[1]

Our community of 886 registered editors have made 31,226 pages (13,658 people, 4,948 groups, 1,392 events...) supplemented by 2,316 third party documents.


Q. Is it time to end the "War On Drugs"?

Wikispooks was established to facilitate a collective re-examination of recent history.[2] Since 2010 we have gradually focused our research on deep politics (the business of deep state groups) since this area is not subject to proper scrutiny by corporate media such as Wikipedia. Wikispooks aims to organise documents and first hand testimony as clearly as possible, carefully avoiding enemy images and polarising perspectives, respecting our common humanity and looking forward to a deep seated truth and reconciliation, as the formerly hidden business of deep politics becomes increasingly exposed. Of particular interest are structural deep events with official narratives[3] which cannot explain readily observable facts, such as such as the "war on terror", the "war on drugs", 9/11 and of course COVID-19 and the associated injections.

Why Wikispooks?

Full article: Wikispooks:Site Rationale
The gray struck through font edits to the Wikipedia page on the death of Vince Foster are readable, as of September 2019, by just 33[4] editors.[5]

We are an open source wiki, so unlike Wikipedia all changes to pages are recorded and publicly available. Wikispooks has no bias towards commercially-controlled media or such other establishment institutions - sources are welcomed to the extent that they help shed light on the murky business of deep politics, which by design aims to be difficult to fathom. As a 100% volunteer project, Wikispooks is not beholden to the special interests which define the corporate media.


What Is Wrong With Wikipedia?

Full article: Rated 4/5 Wikipedia/Problems
WP-notablity.jpg

Wikipedia has been revealed all the way back in the 2000s by Wikiscanner to be monitored, infiltrated and its content edited by royals, dozens of intelligence agencies, hundreds of corporations and even the assistants of politicians themselves.[6] Wikipedia's editorial policies on "notability" and "reliability" make it little more than just one more corporate media outlet for the the official (i.e. establishment-controlled) narrative, which the US Deep state's Operation Mockingbird has been targeting for decades. Wikipedia does not welcome first hand reports, but seeks secondary i.e. controllable reporting from the commercially-controlled media. Moreover it is censored and as of February 2018 its robots.txt file disallowed archival programs from recording page histories, so as to obscure its censorship.

Editorial Policy

Full article: Wikispooks:Editorial Policy
Ws write.png

Wikispooks encourages editors to be critical of the evidence presented. Unlike corporate media such as Wikipedia, this site does not have a "by domain" policy of deeming information either reliable or unreliable. Instead, evidence should be addressed on its merits. Wikispooks does not assume good faith on the part of authorities. If observable reality conflicts with the official narrative, the former deserves priority. Especially in the case of deep politics, official narratives deserve a close scrutiny which the commercially-controlled media seldom if ever gives them.[7] Wikispooks therefore does not aim for Wikipedia's (status-quo friendly) "Neutral Point of View".[8] Since newspapers and broadcasters (like governments) can and do lie with impunity, it is naive to assume mere publication of information to be a reliable indication of veracity.
