Started in 2010, WikiSpooks is an open source encyclopedia of deep politics.
It currently has 31226 user-generated pages about 13658 people, 4948 groups, 1392 events and 2593 concepts, supplemented by a further 2316 third party documents.

Site Rationale

Full article: Wikispooks:Site Rationale

WikiSpooks combines user-submitted documents from third parties with a collaborative space for the joint exploration of people, events, groups and concepts not generally explored in corporate media and as such, not tolerated in Wikipedia. Since official narratives do sometimes change, it follows that they are not always correct. WikiSpooks provides a venue for users interested in exploring such lines of research. Most of the content here is post-WW2. Analysis of historical events from earlier times is however welcome, especially when it sheds light on the hidden purposes and practices of contemporary deep politics.

Editorial Policy

Full article: WikiSpooks:Editorial Policy

The fundamental premise of WikiSpooks' editorial policy is that authority opposes anything which it perceives as a threat, and can bring greater resources to bear than are available to individuals or small groups. This power imbalance becomes especially acute where matters of deep politics are involved. For more on this, see Media Lens, a media-monitoring website.[1] Wikispooks therefore does not aim for a (status-quo friendly) Neutral Point of View[2] and noting that newspapers and broadcasters (like governments) can and do lie with impunity, it does not assume the commercially-controlled media's publication of evidence to be a reliable indication of its veracity.

What Is Wrong With Wikipedia?

Full article: Rated 4/5 Wikipedia/Problems

Wikipedia is good at what it does. However, its editorial policies guarantee a blind spot around matters of deep politics, so information on such topics is superficial and fragmented at best and very commonly no more than a smokescreen. Its adherence to the official narrative as promulgated by establishment-friendly 'reliable sources' effectively mean that, to use the astrolonomical analogy from Gallileo's time, "the heavens must always be represented as revolving around the earth".[3]

The "Gunpowder Plot" of 1605 in England is an example of how it is possible to marshal copious undisputed facts but nonetheless to underplay a plausible interpretation worthy of more attention. Popular perception of that event remains consonant with the official narrative that the good 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? Wikipedia's article on The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 relegates "accusations of state conspiracy" to a single paragraph while the copious evidence of agent-provocateuring and facilitating by the authorities of the day are not even mentioned.

Any Other Questions?

WikiSpooks has an FAQ to answer common queries and a glossary that explains some of the specialist language used and should also give you some idea of the type of material you can find here. If you have further questions, contact a site administrator.
