(the original site was taken down a while ago because of the amount of information available on it, but you can still find some mirrors of it: https://wikispooks.com/ISGP/about.htm)
Purpose The Institute for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics is a project that ran from 2004 to 2010. It was a surprisingly successful attempt to analyze the various elites of the western world, and to see how they interact with both each other and national governments.
ISGP has been a unique project for some of the following reasons:
- It put together a list of about 200 important privately-funded non-government institutes. Together these foundations and think tanks run the globalization process and have a huge influence on national governments. In the past not even six of these organizations were mentioned on one site or in one book, let alone studied to any significant degree.
- It published the first detailed articles on the Pilgrims Society and the 1001 Club, based on never before seen membership lists of both groups. As a result of publishing the 1001 Club membership lists, this group appeared on the evening news for probably the first time in almost 40 years. The information also made its way into a new biography of Prince Bernhard.
- It wrote the first two extensive articles on Le Cercle, a private transnational security group that has existed since the early 1950s.
- It published and translated many Belgian judicial documents: the X-Dossiers, various documents related to the X-Dossiers, and the ATLAS Dossier.
- It wrote unique articles about the Sun Valley Meetings, the Bohemian Grove, the Multinational Chairman's Group, peak oil and a variety of other topics.
- It makes it quite clear that almost the complete alternative media is unreliable, as it is only spreading superficial information and even that is mixed in with large amounts of political bias and disinformation.
All articles on ISGP were written by Joël van der Reijden, with about half a dozen contributors - some of whom professional investigative journalists - who provided essential information.
2004-2010
Total invested time: 6000 hours Total word count: 950,000 (2000-3000 pages) Unique visitors: 600,000 (including a good portion from high society) Page loads: 1,000,000 History The information has been gathered systematically since early-2004 and the first articles were ready in May 2005. The ISGP website - under the name PEHI - was created in July 2005 and began to count visitors several months later, on October 1. After having reached 150,000 individual visits in May 2007, the site was transferred to www.pehi.eu.
In July 2008 the site's name changed to Institute for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics (ISGP) in an effort to make it sound both better and more professional. The url changed from pehi.eu to isgp.eu. At this point the site had reached just over 500,000 total page loads and 296,000 unique visitors, with a daily average of just below 300 unique visitors.
ISGP largely went inactive after the November 2008 publication of David Teacher's book. During this last year the site had come full circle when volunteers and investigators provided the site with membership lists of the Pilgrims and 1001 Club, more information on Le Cercle, and more perspective on information contained within the Belgian X-Dossiers.
What ISGP has in store for the future is still unknown. Since November 2008 there have all kinds of little improvements, including updates in the form of brief articles. Really extensive articles like Beyond Dutroux, The Pilgrims, or Le Cercle are not in the planning though.
What others think Besides two or three exceptions, every email I have received has either been positive or didn't voice an opinion. Following is a selection of emails and internet comments. Names are not given, as people might not want to be publicly associated with this site.
"I just last night stumbled on your site, and am still reeling from how much excellent work you have managed to bring under one roof." - History professor from a major East Coast university (2006)
"I just discovered your site which is fascinating, and we ought to talk one day. It so happens that I have personally met some of the people you mention on your site, or their close collaborators. ... My father was known in history as probably the biggest supporter of world government ... You may not agree that what I do is a solution, but I enjoin you to ... look for one." - Person who plays an important role in a number of private institutes and think tanks. Who knows, maybe we will talk one day. (January 2008)
"Found your website .... Fabulous." - Well known author on the United Nations and the neoliberal globalization process (2006)
"Your own report on Le Cercle is excellent and I have begun circulating it among my colleagues." - Writer and researcher for Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) (November 2006)
"I find your article on Le Cercle very useful and obviously the result of tremendous labor on your part." - Another writer and researcher for Executive Intelligence Review (EIR), who wrote a well known book. (August 2007)
"Things would have remained like that [a manuscript for a book unpublished] had I not recently come across the ISGP website run by Joël van der Reijden (www.isgp.eu) - as far as I can see, the only serious investigation of the Cercle Pinay since the original articles by Robin Ramsay and myself in the Lobster twenty years ago." - An investigative journalist on the Pinay Cercle. Also a former translator at the European Union in Brussels and an international administrator in Geneva. (November 2008)
"Hi Joel, this is getting to be boring I know, but I just read your new Pilgrims essay and it's another triumph." - Email from an investigator who, appropriately, used to be banker in the City of London.
----------------------------
This is some excellent stuff I just came across, I've never heard of these names before; Le Circle, Pilgrim's Society, 1001 Club? This is excellent informatiob.
at anybody who'd dare say this is stuff.
