Joël van der Reijden created the Institute for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics, a website formerly known as the Project for the Exposure of Hidden Institutions. The site published a number of studies on little known but apparently very influential organizations: Le Cercle, The 1001 Club, the Anglo-American Pilgrims Society, the American Security Council, the Center for Security Policy, the OSS Society, the AFIO and others.
The site also published on the Belgian X-Dossiers and related child abuse networks in which very powerful people were allegedly involved. Other topics include peak oil, the Kennedy assassination, covert politics in Russia, and the site's "four establishment model" of covert politics in the West.
ISGP has created a highly unique database of over 1,000 important NGOs worldwide and all the key people running them. The information resulted in the site's "influence index".
Site Closure
ISGP was closed in late September 2010 "after the millionth page load". In cooperation with its owner, Wikispooks aquired an archive of the entire site and has since maintained a live copy of it on the Wikispooks server. Van der Reijden provided the Wikispooks archive with a number of major updates until 2013. A compressed backup of the site is available here.
