Wikispooks logo FAQ.png

Wikispooks is an open licensed, open source encyclopedia of deep politics. This whole site is freely downloadable.[1]

Our 867 registered editors have made 30,493 pages (13,338 people, 4,884 groups, 1,345 events...) supplemented by 2,253 third party documents.


Q. Is it time to end the War On Drugs?

Wikispooks was established to facilitate a collective re-examination of recent history.[2] Since 2010 we have gradually focused our research on deep politics (the business of deep state groups) since this area is not subject to proper scrutiny by corporate media such as Wikipedia. Wikispooks aims to organise documents and first hand testimony as clearly as possible, carefully avoiding enemy images and polarising perspectives, respecting our common humanity and looking forward to a deep seated truth and reconciliation, as the formerly hidden business of deep politics becomes increasingly exposed. Of particular interest are structural deep events with official narratives[3] which cannot readily observable facts, such as such as the "war on terror", the "war on drugs", 9/11 and COVID-19.

Why Wikispooks?

Full article: Wikispooks:Site Rationale
The gray struck through font edits to the Wikipedia page on the death of Vince Foster are readable, as of September 2019, by just 33[4] editors.[5]

We are an open source wiki, so unlike Wikipedia all changes to pages are recorded and publicly available. Wikispooks has no bias towards commercially-controlled media or such other establishment institutions - sources are welcomed to the extent that they help shed light on the murky business of deep politics, which by design aims to be difficult to fathom. As a 100% volunteer project, Wikispooks is not beholden to the special interests which define the corporate media.

What Is Wrong With Wikipedia?

Full article: Rated 4/5 Wikipedia/Problems
WP-notablity.jpg

Wikipedia's editorial policies on "notability" and "reliability" make it little more than just one more corporate media outlet for the the official (i.e. establishment-controlled) narrative, which the US Deep state's Operation Mockingbird has been targeting for decades. Wikipedia does not welcome first hand reports, but seeks secondary i.e. controllable reporting from the commercially-controlled media. Moreover it is censored and as of February 2018 its robots.txt file disallowed archival programs from recording page histories, so as to obscure its censorship.

Editorial Policy

Ws write.png

Wikispooks encourages editors to be critical of the evidence presented. Unlike corporate media such as Wikipedia, this site does not have a "by domain" policy of deeming information either reliable or unreliable. Instead, evidence should be addressed on its merits. Wikispooks does not assume good faith on the part of authorities. If observable reality conflicts with the official narrative, the former deserves priority. Especially in the case of deep politics, official narratives deserve a close scrutiny which the commercially-controlled media seldom if ever gives them.[6] Wikispooks therefore does not aim for Wikipedia's (status-quo friendly) "Neutral Point of View".[7] Since newspapers and broadcasters (like governments) can and do lie with impunity, it is naive to assume mere publication of information to be a reliable indication of veracity.

To see what we have on a specific topic, try the Search ⌕ box in the top right corner of this page. For casual browsing, try this list of top-rated pages or this list of pages with the most revisions. For common queries, we have an FAQ. If you feel lucky, try a Random article. If the language here is new to you, the glossary might help - and should give you an idea of the sort of material here. To ask about a specific page, use the "Discussion" tab to edit its talk page (requires a login). If you have further specific questions, you could contact a site administrator.
