Wikispooks:Projects

WikiSpooks Projects are specific areas of the site which are central to this site's mission of documenting and exposing deep politics. All Wikispooks editors are invited to contribute.

Bilderberg

The first Bilderberg meeting takes place in May 1954 concluded a couple of years of groundwork by Józef Retinger and various other interested parties. This project aims to document the meetings and clarify the group's activities

In 2017, Wikispooks greatly included its coverage of the Bilderberg, posting all the known reports online, and making a page for each of the 3117 known participants.

Suggested improvements to the Bilderberg pages include:

Input from experts to check and improve the material
Developing the page on Exposure of the Bilderberg
Upload of more Bilderberg related documents
Tidying the main Bilderberg page, and adding content to subpages such as that on the Bilderberg Steering Committee etc.

Meetings

Wikispooks has one page for each Bilderberg meeting. These link to all the guests, and many link to the report and mention the agenda, but are otherwise fairly basic.

Suggested improvements to the meeting pages include:

Images of the event, or of related documents - e.g. Bilderberg/1954
Adding event specific content, e.g. attribution to events such as the 1973 Oil crisis‎ to e.g. Bilderberg/1973
Content for the main Bilderberg meetings page, describing how the conference has evolved over the years

Guests

The pages listed at Bilderberg/Guests/Visit count are the most functional of the existing lists of Bilderbergers. Checking this will show the gaps in the record as regards birth date and nationality. Fill in these blanks will in turn fix the lists at Bilderberg/Guests/Nationality and Bilderberg/Guests/Born

Suggested improvements to the guest pages include:

Adding missing data such as birth/death date, nationality, description
Adding links to relevant external sites

Some visitors attend the Bilderberg but are not on the guest lists. It would be good to log their attendance.

Internet Censorship, "Fake News" etc.

This project aims to clarify the miasma of disinformation about "fake news" and expose the ongoing project to step up censorship of the internet

Internet censorship has been ongoing for years, often by covert means. However, rhetoric about this topic was increased in 2017, amid expansion of memes such as "domestic extremism", "hate site", "extremism", condoning "terrorism" etc. In 2017 USA, a law which proposed to mandate internet censorship of "fake news" was scrapped after massive condemnation,^[1] but the war on free speech continues. This is an important topic for Wikispooks to follow, not least since the spooky PropOrNot group named Wikispooks as an outlet of Russian propaganda in 2016.

Suggested tasks include:

Reporting cases of censorship, particularly on the internet
Monitoring and reporting legal action against people who publish on the internet
Creating more pages for deceitful language such as "national security", "radicalisation" etc.
Researching groups and people who are actively promoting internet censorship
Making a page for PropOrNot and more of the sites they listed (many of which are already on Wikispooks)

Whistleblowers

Whistleblowers are essential primary sources about deep political matters, and their number is increasing in modern times. The site currently has 197 whistleblowers. This project aims to assist whistleblowers and would-be whistleblowers to get their information out safely.

Suggested improvements for this project include:

Addition of more whistleblowers, for example, adding members of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition
Addition of the |exposed parameter to link whistleblowers to their disclosures
Creation of/addition to pages about the information they have disclosed
