Started in 2010, WikiSpooks is an open source encyclopedia of deep politics.
It currently has 31340 user-generated pages about 13694 people, 4967 groups, 1394 events and 2608 concepts, supplemented by a further 2322 third party documents.

Site Rationale
- Full article: Wikispooks:Site Rationale
- Full article: Wikispooks:Site Rationale
WikiSpooks combines user-submitted documents from third parties with a collaborative space for the joint research into of people, events, groups and concepts not subject to enough scrutiny in corporate media and as such, not tolerated in Wikipedia. Since official narratives do sometimes change, it follows that they are not always correct, and WikiSpooks provides assistance for those researching such possibilities. Most of the content here is post-WW2. Analysis of earlier times would be welcome, especially when it illuminates the hidden purposes and practices of contemporary deep politics.
Editorial Policy
- Full article: WikiSpooks: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?

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

Wikispooks is inspired and informed by several other open source collaborative projects, including Cryptome, Wikileaks, The Deep Politics Forum, SpinProfiles, SourceWatch and last but not least, that keeper of the official narrative on the internet, Wikipedia, with which it shares a common software platform, MediaWiki.[4]
