Wikispooks:History

Needs some importing from the authority on this subject.

Origins

WikiSpooks was started by retired UK businessman and Deep Politics Forum administrator, Peter Presland.

Launch

WikiSpooks began in 2010. After a couple of months of work learning how to administer a server, Peter Presland launched the site on May 22 with announcements on Cryptome^[1], the Deep Politics Forum^[2], Sabretache^[3] and several other sites. It received 2500 unique visitors in 3 days.

Influences

When launched, WikiSpooks was originally described as "an amalgam of Wikipedia, Cryptome and the Deep Politics Forum".

Name

To regular Wiki users, the first half of the name should be obvious. The second half is an Anglicisation of the Dutch word for 'Ghosts', used since WW2 as a synonym for 'Spies' (e.g. in the BBC series 'Spooks' ^[4]). So far as WikiSpooks is concerned, both meanings are apposite. Often the ghosts of deep political motivations remain underneath the sanitising official narrative which attempts to reinterpret what was done to suit the spirit of the times (e.g. the England Gunpowder Plot of 1605^{[clarification needed]}). The immediate relevance of spies should be clear to any serious students of deep politics.

Logo

The Wikispooks logo is often remarked upon. Administrator, Peter Presland explains how he came up with it:

I was casting about for a simple, unique, eye-catching, recognisable, memorable etc etc image - all the orthodox requirements of a logo in fact. It had to be a home-made job because the services of a professional was out of the question. I perused hundreds of open-source images looking for something fitting the above criteria. I was well aware of the significance and widespread use of the triangular form in occult symbolism - especially 'Illuminati' related and that did indeed give me pause. However, in finally deciding on using it, my reasoning went like this:
In spite of the reservations indicated above and because of its occult connections, a standard triangle is clearly consistent with representation of any 'Official Narrative'

An impossible triangle (i.e. the Wikispooks logo triangle) is therefore representative of the misleading to impossible nature of any and all 'Official Narratives'

The light shining though the impossible triangle symbolises the illumination that comes from recognising the true nature of all 'Official Narratives'.
