Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Many of these questions I have been asked at some point or another.

How do I print your web pages properly?
First of all, copy-pasting ISGP articles to Word and printing from there is not possible anymore since early 2017. Disabling the copy-paste function on the site cut whole-sale article stealing by near 100%, greatly lessening the amount of time needed filing DMCA take-down orders. This unfortunate step was crucial to take, considering ISGP is enormously censored by Google and the so-called "conspiracy community". It's all too easy to drop from the rankings all-together if duplicate content isn't fiercely combated. With that out of the way, ISGP greatly improved the browser "printability" of its articles in April 2017. However, what remains crucial for proper printing is to use a browser that includes print scaling, preferably allowing per percent increments. The option for custom margins is also desirable, for example to make the left margin a little wider than the right. Mozilla Firefox has had print scaling for many years in its "Print Preview" settings. Apple Safari's browser has both too. Google Chrome version 56, available since February 2017, also finally incorporated a scale setting - and per percent. It's located in its "More settings" tab in the print preview screen. All these browsers also have custom margin settings. Microsoft's Edge browser has print scaling, but as of April 2017 forces users to choose between an acceptable 100% and a far too large 150%. This browser also doesn't have customizable margin settings. This will probably change in the future. To give readers/printers an indication: For me personally, a scale of around 114 with Firefox is ideal to cover the entire page. With Chrome the scale needs to be around 185. That's with A4, not the U.S. Letter standard. Sometimes the ISGP page is pushed to the right in print preview, because the left column is not removed for some reason. Opening the print preview screen on another page and going back after that, often fixes the problem. If not, try restarting the browser or try to print in another browser. |
What country are you from?
The Netherlands. You know, that "horribly" liberal country directly to the east of England, across a tiny little pond called the North Sea. No, it's not a province of Germany... you silly Americans. Just kidding, of course. I love Americans. They're 50 percent of the visitors to this site. Used to be 70 percent, but mainland Europe is catching up a little in recent years. Granted, I have also been writing more and more about European cases.
|
Who inspired you?
No one. Being from Europe, political conspiracy never was on my mind. Traditionally that has been an American phenomenon, where, for example, you've had a Christian conservative John Birch Society opposing the dominant liberal establishment. Something like that never existed in the liberal-socialist paradises of North-Western Europe, where things as strong labor unions, decent social security and minimum wages, low-cost medicare, gun control, abortion, science over religion, global warming measures and environmentalism have been an uncontroversial norm throughout the baby-boom generation and their immediate offspring. In fact, it really never mattered much whether the socialists, labour, greens, liberals, or Christian-Democrats were in power. These fundamentals were hardly touched.
|
What is your motivation?
Initially ISGP was put together simply out of curiosity on how the world works, and trying to make a few humble contributions while working together with others. Trying to make a difference in a much bigger way soon became just as dominant a reason, primarily after realizing the enormity of the forces spreading nothing but conspiracy disinformation day in, day out. Forums, comment sections of websites, the websites themselves, street activism - everything is corrupted.
|
How much time did you put in?
About 25,000 hours from 2004 to 2019, which is an average of 4.5 hours a day, every day, 365 days a year, for 15 years. Some years have been much more active than others.
|
Are you religious?
These days I don't hear much anymore from America's Christian Right. But no, having grown up in the big city, I'm not religious. In fact, growing up I assumed Christianity was virtually dead. I almost never met anyone who was "religious". Then again, I also never met anyone who behaves like the "new atheism" pundits you hear more and more of these days. Most people I know belong to the "I don't know", "maybe", or "probably" church. As for myself, I believe in intelligent design, but... not at the expense of Darwin's theory of evolution. What's funny is that the more I study evolution--the formation of the universe, galaxies, stars, solar systems, planets, and finally, life--the more I have to conclude that physical evolution is incredibly, unbelievably, breathtakingly, mindblowingly intelligent. The theory of evolution is not even the slightest bit incompatible with the existence of an infinitely creative God (force)--or whatever one chooses to call it.  Yes, we should find absolute, irrifutable proof before claiming such a thing as fact. And science absolutely plays an important role in the world. But nothing wrong with having a little faith either. After all, if we know everything, what would be the purpose of the game at that point? So what does that make me? I don't know. A spiritual Darwinist? Yes, call me a spritual Darwinist.
|
What are your political views?
Don't care about day-to-day politics. Never will. There's no honesty to be found here. At various times I've belonged to the "green-right", the "imperial humanists" and "socialist realpolitikers", all categories that don't seem to be represented in politics. Fact is, judging by the international outburst of "populism" all over the West and polls gathered and corrected by ISGP on Third World immigration, this clearly goes for a lot of people. The fact that the West doesn't have a (pro-Europe if possible) socialist-liberal party that also is staunchly anti-Third World immigration (not based on mere "fear", but based on ethnic crime, IQ data and on basic common sense) alone demonstrates that the process of democratic voting in the West is little more than stage play. More is written about this in ISGP's article $150 Billion in Foundation Funds Attacking Trump and Pushing Third World Immigration. As much as I dislike ordinary politics (while knowing an awful lot of political history), studying geopolitical strategy and history has never been a problem. In fact, for some strange reason it's the only thing I can literally do 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. And that's why ISGP has become what it is. Wouldn't do any of this studying though, if it didn't have the purpose of bringing out important information.

In a nutshell, what is your four establishment model about?
When, over a period of 10-11 years, mapping the supranational network of NGOs and the key persons in them, it became clear that all these foundations, think tanks and social clubs are dominated by people with very similar ideals on how they want to organize the world. Within these social groups there's a lot of discussion on all the little details, but certain ideals and institutions are never abandoned. The model that seems to work perfectly:
The reason I call it the four establishment model is because I largely leave out the Old/New/Religious Right, which plays a marginal role these days and has been supplanted by the Neocons. Thus we have the:

What is your opinion on Wikileaks and Edward Snowden? |
| I've found some of the released Wikileaks documents very useful, in my case a number of cables about Uzbekistan dictator Islam Karimov and about prominent Russians allied with the Solntsevskaya mafia. Julian Assange's October 23, 2014 article entitled 'Assange: Google Is Not What It Seems' is incredibly revealing. I even noticed Wikileaks spread "my" Dutroux X-Dossiers summary file at one point. Fact is, I haven't seen any releases from Wikileaks that I would label as criminal. Wikileaks simply exposes corruption, war crimes, and things along those lines. That having been said, Wikileaks, as well as Edward Snowden, have received backing from major billionaire "liberal CIA" NGOs as Rockefeller, Ford, Soros and others. Simple as it may seem due to ISGP's presented work, it actually took years to figure out all kinds of different pieces of evidence. These ties do make me wonder about a statement Julian Assange made in a July 19, 2010 Belfast Telegraph article entitled 'Wanted by the CIA: Julian Assange' "I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud." Apart from Third World immigration, 9/11 is the biggest and most obvious conspiracy of all time. It's very clear that aspects of that event are being kept hidden. Most of what remains is just party politics. |
So, who are "they"? Any names? |
Sure, this site has got nothing but names. ISGP specifically created its Superclass Index for that, which came into existence in a surprisingly scientific manner after more than a decade of research. Combine this with ISGP's four-establishment model of western politics and anyone has all the keys to figure out who has been behind the major conspiracies of the past century, whether tied to the U.S., Europe, or Israel. Russia has been addressed separately. Russian politics is far less organized, there is much less freedom, and therefore is harder to understand. Names? To keep it short: generally the names we all know are behind major conspiracies: presidents, national security advisors, secretaries of state, CIA directors and to an extent defense secretaries. These are crucial decision-making and executive positions which any establishment consisting of think tank, political, corporate, banking and intelligence elites will try maneuver its most trusted members into. A lot has been written about this "above CIA" network in ISGP's Pilgrims Society article. |
What you think is credible and not credible when it comes to conspiracies?
This information is moved to a separate article. |
What came first? Wikipedia or ISGP?
Often people forget the absolutely gigantic resources we have available in the modern world. If a particular group has been mentioned briefly in three books and four newspaper articles worldwide in the past 50 years, there's a good change today that all these sources are listed in a Wikipedia entry on this group - giving off the impression that there never was any secret in the first place. Fact is, in order for a particular group to be known, it generally has to be discussed thousands of times in newspapers, the media, and preferably, in school books. For example, Bilderberg has been mentioned many hundreds of times in English language newspapers from the 1970s to the late 1990s, but at least in Europe virtually nobody had heard of it - let alone know any details - until broadband internet came along. And even in this case we only know about it because of McCarthyite John Birch-type propaganda that stimulated discussion. Compare this to information on Le Cercle or the 1001 Club, which have literally been discussed 1,000 times less than Bilderberg--yet today they still have Wikipedia entries with some basic information. The fact is, when ISGP first wrote about Le Cercle, the 1001 Club and the Pilgrims Society, entries on Wikipedia about these societies did not exist. In each case these were added weeks after the ISGP articles had been uploaded and widely read. Virtually no other information existed on these groups at the time. Wikipedia's Sun Valley/Allen & Co. entry was created years after ISGP had identified 100 plus visitors and wrote an article about the group. Wikipedia's JASON Group article did exist, but was far from complete. At least half of the members were taken from ISGP. In a later stage references to ISGP were removed, giving the impression that the JASON Group has always been straightforward about its membership. Looking at the way the JASONs treated me after ISGP's article on the group, should tell anyone that the JASONs were forced out into the open due to the internet. Details about the Bohemian Grove camps and the visitors also came from ISGP. Although membership lists have leaked in recent years, back in 2005/2006 none were in the public domain and names were scattered all over the place. ISGP has been responsible for other information on Wikipedia. Often this information was removed, but it appears that Wikipedia suffers from relatively little censorship if the sources are good--which I applaud it for. Anno 2014: Wikipedia still doesn't have a page on the American Security Council; only the American Security Council Foundation. Almost no members are mentioned, while ISGP already in 2012 published a fully-sourced extensive membership list with a just as extensive article about the history of both groups. Let's see how much longer it takes before the Wikipedia article is expanded. |
Are you supported by other researchers?
I received support from a limited number of professional investigators and journalists who provided me with crucial documents. Other material was provided by ordinary persons without websites or any kind of name for themselves. "I found this site, ISGP, quite a few years back, thanks to a link from wikipedia, of all the sites.
It was [already] at the time a very deep, very well researched and linked, annotated investigation on the secret societies that have always plagued world's politics at the top. |
Will key conspiracies ever get exposed?
Never say never, but for the moment it doesn't look like conspiracies as the JFK assassination and 9/11 ever will. My only realization over the years that is more shocking than the level of disinformation and propaganda coming from the top layer of our society, is people's inability to oppose this pressure with critical thinking, independent study and organizing protests - the highly-educated ones even less than their less-educated fellow citizens. Looking at movies and miniseries, one gets the impression people are obsessed with fighting corrupt authorities and "doing what's right", no matter what the costs are. Reality, however, is totally different. The reason for this apathy among the masses is somewhat obvious: with conspiracy research and activism there is no reward in terms of money, status, career, love, sex, entertainment, friendship, or health. If none of these rewards are there, it appears people simply do not take action, especially not when these problems are partly the result of stigmatization, ridicule, and ostracization. Gaining personal insight simply isn't enough of a motivation to go through this emotional pain. To illustrate, here are three example scenarios:
The point is, there is always something to be gained outside of "doing the right thing". However, conspiracy research is set up in such a way that it will make you feel like those Jews in pre-World War II Germany that never received any help, while being told day and night through the establishment media: "You're nothing, you're inferior, a parasite, a problem - just go away and die!" (many Jews were deeply ashamed of simply being Jews). In some ways, with conspiracy research the situation is even worse, because most Jews knew other Jews, often lots of them, so they were able to bounce this propaganda off against one another: "What do you think? Does this make sense?" You still had strength in numbers among your own kind. With me, for example, I'm the only one in my family and wider circle who has any interest in conspiracy, and on top of that pretty much knows more than anybody else alive. But even for people that know less, it's tough to find likeminded individuals to compare your ideas to. Certainly internet forums are all penetrated by the security services, so it's going to be tough to meet anyone this way, certainly anyone you can fully trust. In other words... you are likely to be completely alone. I guess that is one more reason why ISGP was created. There's nothing new to this aspect of psychological science. It's probably as old as human civilization. Western mind control research in part was simply set up to find out how to pressure the massess into submission without the use of more hands-on North Korean peer pressure (one reported method apparently involved putting a person in a house with 6 others who rewarded "good" behavior with friendship and attention, and "bad" behavior with ridicule and ostrization). Conspiracy research is set up to take everything from you. The deeper you go, the more time you spend, the more this will be true. It's the same with criticizing Third World immigration. Most people simply are too afraid to speak out because of media intimidation and often will start to censor their friends and family members, because "you can't do anything about it", "so just let it go" and "don't be negative". Looking at ISGP, which took tens of thousands of hours to develop, I can go through the entire list of general rewards for doing anything and barely find a single benefit: There are literally tens of thousands of social justice warriors, but all of them ultimately are on the payroll of foundations as Soros, Ford, Gates and Rockefeller: "liberal CIA". On the right, they are all tied to the CIA or NGOs financed by foundations as Bradley and Scaife: "conservative CIA". Apart from that, there are thousands of superficial conspiracy websites and blogs. None of them have shown any serious, genuine interest in ISGP. Thus, I don't see anything changing anytime soon. I can't put my finger on it fully, but the human race does have a number of serious psychological flaws. Biologically we're too unconcerned about bigger issues, too easily intimated, too dependent on the opinion of peers, too scared to be wrong, and too submissive to authority under all the wrong circumstances. The middle class needs to learn to organize at the local level, without the financing and pushing of elites. And it needs to get educated on the use of psychological warfare throughout history. It probably won't learn any of that until several more massive crises. And thus, conspiracies most likely will remain hidden for the time being. |
What writers do you support?
Hmmm, let me think. George Seldes' 1943 book Facts and Fascism should be required reading for every high school student internationally. Seldes also came up with one of the cleverest and most telling book titles ever: Tell the Truth and Run. He showed how journalism ought to be: to the point, hard hitting and instead of being "objective", with enormous bias towards rational, moral thinking.

Has anything strange happened?
Yes, phone, email, mail and domain anomalies, Google censorship, disappearing articles, and strange people "turning" and attaching themselves to my family. These things are listed in a specific article. |

I want to promote ISGP. Any suggestions how?
Sure. I've made a list of suggestions that can be found here. |

Why did you have my website shut down or pages removed from search engines?
I check for duplicate content every few weeks or months these days, so copying ISGP content, especially large-scale copy-pasting, is at your own risk. Extreme Google and conspiracy community censorship force ISGP to protect copyright in a rather forceful manner, where earlier this had little priority. Full list of reasons for copy-paste disabling and not allowing content to be reposted:
At some point I intent to address these issues in an article about (Bilderberg company) Google and other key search engines, including Bing and Putin's Yandex. |
