Conspiracy Theories: What To Take Serious and What to Disregard

"We have come to a circular place. The CIA occupies that region in the modern mind where every truth is obliged to live in its own denial; facts are wiped out by artifacts; proof enters the logic of counterproof and we are in the dream."

August 16, 1976, Norman Mailer for New York Magazine, 'A Harlot High and Lowe: Reconnoitering Through the Secret Government'.

"The first thing we revolutionaries lose is our wives. ... [Then] we lose our freedom, our happiness, our means of living. We lose many things."

August 24, 1978, "Comandante Cero" Eden Pastora, while fighting the CIA-backed Somoza dictatorship in Nicaragua. Later sold out to the CIA, but not nearly enough, apparently making him the target of the (unsolved) 1984 La Penca bombing. (August 25, 1978, Information Services on Latin America (ISLA), p. 87, 'Commander Zero')

Intro

There are two symbolic representations of true conspiracy research that I particularly like. One is trying to cross barefoot and without any aid the biggest and densest tropical rainforest on the planet. Even if you succeed in making it to the mountain top on the other side of the jungle, it's going to take a while. And apart from getting lost every five minutes, you'll encounter dangers and distractions all along the way: from creepy bugs and leeches trying to lay their eggs in every orifice of your body, preferably as close to the brain as possible; to comfortable Indian villages filled with beautiful, young, promiscuous girls.

However... if you truly desire the truth, you have to keep going; you can't get distracted for too long. Thus, better be careful with those girls, because, as Shakespeare wrote, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." In fact, the entire village is likely to come after you with their spears if you're looking for some much-needed "R&R" and then try to resume your quest. The natives, nor anyone else in your immediate surroundings for that matter, are unlikely to appreciate your need to indulge in the beautiful art of unpaid fact-checking, because, ultimately, "you need to be a breadwinner." So your place is alone, in the wild. With the creepy bugs, spiders and other dangers.

The other comparison I like to make is to archeology. As you're very slowly and very carefully excavating a newly-discovered structure, you gain more and more oversight and more and more insight into what it is that you've actually discovered. But it takes a long-long time before you can walk into the ancient buildings, analyze the ancient inhabitants' daily lives, and start to decipher the stone inscriptions left behind. Patience is key, possibly for a lifetime, and even then there are no guarantees that you'll have found the insight you're looking for. And if you have, it's very much the question if anybody else is really interested in hearing about it. Archeology can be a lonely quest, much like a lengthy jungle trip.

To get to the point, after writing about conspiracy and parapolitical affairs for about 20,000 hours at this point, having produced quite a bit of unique documentation and studied the spiders and leeches gathering around disinformation shows as Coast to Coast AM, the Alex Jones Show and Rense.com, I'm quite certain that I can help the average newcomer to the conspiracy business a little on his or her way -- easily saving a decade of full-time study and organizing. I may not have reached the mountain top yet, but join me and we can comfortably dangle from a steep cliff somewhere halfway up. Or, if you prefer, you can join me in finding those stone tablets, because most of the buildings have definitely been excavated at this point.

Below the reader can find my personal opinions as to what conspiracies to discard or take serious, as well as the most important conspiracies that need solving and/or official acknowledgment. The links will take the reader to a relevant ISGP article for more information.

Not credible

Bogus conspiracy theories: typically modern alt right / "conservative CIA" ones

These have been so prominent since Trump's elction campaign of 2016 and subsequent presidencies that it might be handy to list them at the top:

• All or almost all of President Trump's conspiracy claims, including the one that there was voter fraud during the 2020 election - apart from the country being buried in legal and illegal immigrants. There have been questions of voter fraud in the past, such as during the Bush 43 administrations, and which generally were ignored except by "liberal CIA" activist journalists as Greg Palast, but that's a different discussion. Trump falls under "conservative CIA".


• Pizzagate "code words", prominent during the first presidential campaign and administration of 2016-2021.


• Old Trilateral Commission member Jeffrey Epstein having been murdered, prominent since his suicide in prison in 2019, during the first Trump administration. They exploded in prominence again in 2025, during the first year of the second Trump administration, with Trump being accused by "the alt right" of supporting "the cover up".


• People being poisoned with "mercury-laced" vaccines, or via other additives. These claims have been decades old.


• Virtually all theories surrounding COVID-19 / the Coronavirus, which has spread the world since late 2019. There's been an endless stream of "tip-givers" to ISGP pushing a variety of these theories, with many countries having prominent "Corona conspiracy theorists", immediately telling you how important it has been to the superclass to create a disinformative "alternative narrative". Bogues theories on Corona:
  
  
  • That is "just a common cold", with lockdowns and masks only being instated for "population control" measures. Granted, more studies are need to prove the efficacy of masks. And the amount of (Asian, but also white) people dutifully wearing them like it's a badge of honor is scary.
  
  
  • That vaccines were introduced as "population control" measures, that they weren't working, causesd high numbers of deadly side effects, or were used to kill off the population. All these massive exaggerations and inventions only served to undermine genuine worries (seemingly permanent tinnitus would one of them), now or in future pandemics (contrived or not). Yes, deadly side effects did seem to happen, especially early on with one or two vaccine brands, and yes, it does seem the mainstream media underplayed them. At the same time, the "alternative" media blew everything completely out of proportion.
  
  
  • Quite possibly the origin of COVID-19 from a Chinese biolab, located 300 meters from the fish market where COVID was said to originate. As later research seems to show, it's entirely possible the virus first spread at a sub-section of the "fish market" where exotic animals were traded. It's possible that the Chinese government originally did not know for certain if the biolab was the source. It also seems clear that the WHO displayed an unhealthy bias to the Chinese's government's narrative. In any case, if it indeed turns out that the biolab theory is not true, it would be much for fruitful to wonder why elitists as former MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove were promoting this theory quite virulently.

Bogus conspiracy theories: general

ISGP considers the following widely-pushed theories absolute nonsense. Mind you, these conclusions were not reached on a Sunday afternoon, but over a period of 20 years of continuous research. This list has slowly been expanded over the years. Readers can follow the links, where available, for more information.

• Holocaust denial or "revisionism": Ever met a Nazi or Holocaust denier in real life? Most haven't, but online, they're everywhere. Ignore the many discussions about concentration camp Auschwitz. Instead, read about Babi Yar and the eastern European extermination camps of the Nazis and the Ustasa, or look up the visual evidence. You'll get the point.
  
  Jew-hating - in its "deniable" form or not - is super-effective at pushing ordinary people out of any conspiracy discussions and at forcing censorship measures. Thus, like an ever-spreading virus, it remains very prominently present in conspiracy communities as 9/11 "Truth", conspiracy-related search engine results, comment sections of alternative news sites and conspiracy- or immigration-related forums. It's all over (the now defunct) Bestgore.com as well - anywhere really where government-skeptic "misfits" might potentially try to express their opinions and start organizing. Let's not forget either that leading black supremacist and hip hop icon Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam is a major spreader of it, once again alongside conspiracy disinformation. Must be a coincidence.
  
  The modern conspiracy Nazis go back at least to the General Douglas MacArthur-linked Liberty Lobby and its legacy of Holocaust-denying conspiracy publications: the Spotlight, with its long-time Bilderberg focus; the Institute for Historical Review and American Free Press. Rense.com is the biggest conspiracy (disinformation) Nazi site over the past two decades and has also hosted the radio program of the prominent Stormfront forum. Security state trolls are everywhere here, pushing ordinary people out and perpetuating artificially constructed stigmas.


• Fake Moon landings. To illustrate, most recently the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) project has been making pictures of the various landing sites. Astronauts Buzz Aldrin and especially Edgar Mitchell are compromised national security assets, however. Gordon Cooper, who testified to the bogus Disclosure Project, most likely too.


• Chemtrails.


• Hollow Earth.


• Flat Earth, a theory which, along with dinosaurs-never-existed, space satellites-don't-exist and nuke-bombs-don't-exist, has been making an internet revival since about 2015 through Eddie Bravo on the increasingly visible Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Both Bravo and Joe Rogan are CIA-tied.
  
  This type of disinformation has led to more widespread trolling, including hurricanes-don't-exist, whenever online discussions take place when a new hurricane approaches the U.S. - as I personally first noticed in September 2019 with Hurricane Dorian.


• Illuminati, Holy Grail and Templar bloodline theories. Historically there is some merit here, but not in the present.


• Freemasonry having any political significance in the present day, apart from the local level here and there. As with the Illuminati, Freemasonry and its esoteric variations do have their place in history.


• With 9/11: pod, hologram, 10-foot Pentagon hole, no-plane, drone, remote control, basement bomb and seismic spike theories. Any of the prominent talk about "nanothermite" is suspicious, although the much older suspicion of thermite is not. Also bogus is the famous account of Barry Jennings for WTC 7.


• Anything more than 4 shots with the JFK assassination, with shooters usually placed in locations as the Daltex building and sewer drains. Conspiracy icons in this area all are massive frauds: CIA lawyer Mark Lane, the New Orleans elite-funded Jim Garrison, the "liberal CIA" movie director Oliver Stone and everyone else. That having been said, Oswald's CIA ties and evidence of a second shooter are very legitimate research areas.


• A second shooter with the 1968 RFK assassination, and almost certainly the whole concept of a conspiracy. The second shooter theory is total, big media-backed disinformation - and even supported by proven disinformer RFK, Jr.! Fact is, there isn't even serious evidence that it involved a conspiracy.


• The CIA murdering Malcolm X in 1965. He was murdered by his own Nation of Islam, with Malcolm X saying beforehand that his time was up. This doesn't take away that Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan - who at the time called for the murder of Malcolm X - has been spreading conspiracy disinformation on 9/11, etc.


• Ancient Aliens, the most (in)famous example being Zecharia Sitchin's Anunnaki from Niburu (Planet X).


• Lost continents as Atlantis, Lumuria and Mu ever having existed. Atlantis was a bedtime story invented by Egyptian priests to appease the Greeks for which zero tectonic, other geological, or archeological evidence exists anywhere inside or outside the "Pillars of Hercules" / the Straight of Gibraltar over the past hundreds of thousands of years.
  
  
  • The Atlantis myth was revived by the Cayce Cult. Edgar Cayce believed he was the reincarnation of "Ra-Ta", an Atlantean half-god who built the Great Pyramid with anti-gravity technology 10,500 B.C. In turn, New York Times' best-selling author and the Coast to Coast AM-pushed David Wilcock considers himself Edgar Cayce's most recent "reincanation".
  
  
  • The 1513 Piri Reis map showing Antarctica - unless one wants to believe that Antarctica started around Rio de Janeiro in that period. Instead, it shows an estimated, undetailed, totally incorrect, uncharted eastern coast line of South America.


• All the claims of Graham Hancock and allies, which strongly overlap with the Cayce Cult and include beliefs of the Ark of the Covenant and Atlantis:
  
  
  • The existence of a large-scale ancient civilization before 3,500 B.C.
  
  
  • The Great Pyramid or Sphinx being older than roughly 2.600 B.C., let alone dating back to 10,500 B.C. as the Cayce cultists and Hancock people claim.
  
  
  • Any major South American ruins being older than roughly 2,000 B.C.
  
  
  • That the Olmec heads of Central America represent African blacks.


• That Roswell involved an alien spacecraft, although the sheer number of locals conspiring in pushing the myth for so many decades is absolutely breathtaking.


• Alien Moon bases, Alien messengers, alien abductions, alien-human hybrids, "star children", the Bentwaters/Rendlesham Forest incident, Majestic 12, Area 51, the Dulce base and other UFO crash retrival or underground UFO base-linked stories.


• Crop circles, despite their complexity, being produced by supernatural or alien messengers. The evidence points to a very large-scale psychological warfare and disinformation campaign.


• Any UFO claims made by witnesses of Steven Greer's Disclosure Project.


• Any of the UFO claims of Tom DeLonge and the national security elites involved in his To The Stars group.


• Bermuda Triangle and Devil's Triangle.


• John Coleman's Committee of 300.


• David Icke's interdimensional Reptilians or Reptilian aliens.


• The Cathy O'Brien and David Icke's Queen Mother stories related to large-scale Satanic child abuse.


• Genuine high level Satanic conspiracies. Granted, there exist quite a few accounts of SM, snuff and ritual abuse-type practices, but it's impossible to say at this point what exactly is going on here. There's just too much disinformation, even in police files it appears.


• Thousands of children, or even more, permanently disappearing each year into snuff networks. The Ted Gundersons, David Ickes and even Joe Rogans of this world forget to mention that 90% or more of "disappearing" children are runaways who resurface within days or weeks.


• Everything that has come out of Ted Gunderson's mouth, starting with the McMartin Preschool Satanic Ritual Abuse case he played a major role in creating.


• That bankers as the Rothschilds and Rockefellers rule the world all by themselves. It must be said, though, both families have been very influential on history, with David Rockefeller being the primary person responsible for building the post-World War II supranational NGO network.


• Little green men from Mars or any other planet in our Solar System.


• Elvis still being alive.


• Tupac or Biggie still being alive or having been murdered by the CIA.


• In other words, the kind of stuff that completely dominates the internet and "alternative" books and has been put out for years by the huge Art Bell/Coast to Coast AM show.

Credible

List of the most important credible conspiracies

In contrast to the claims that can be found above, the following conspiracies are considered credible by ISGP. The most important and/or easiest conspiracies to expose are listed near the top, but this is not necessarily a rigid structure. Actually, the JFK of 9/11 conspiracies combined aren't even remotely as important anymore as the subsequent ones, but it's easier to get those out of the way quick, as they don't overlap as strongly. The links point to a wide variety of mainly very extensive, well-sourced articles of ISGP.

• The guiding of the 9/11 hijackers by U.S.-Saudi-Pakistani elites, and the melting/blowing up of the Twin Towers and WTC 7 in 2001, leading to a new era in world history with a never-ending, continually-escalating War on Terror that greatly indebted the United States. The escalated terror threat - also due to relentless Arab immigration - has provided a never-ending excuse for increasingly extensive police state spy programs, especially in the U.S.


• The 1963 JFK assassination. At the very least everybody should be allowed to guess the location of the final shot based on the Zapruder film (clearly the right-front, from an upward angle; not from behind, from six stories up) and be made aware that countless witness testimonies pointing to the grassy knoll at the right-front were omitted from the CIA and Rockefeller-linked Warren Commission. Richard Helms' protege at the CIA, the notorious Ted Shackley, almost certainly coordinated the assassination.


• The "white replacement" or "white genocide" "theory" - meaning the ethnic cleansing of whites. Not only has this one replaced 9/11 and the War on Terror as the most dangerous and destructive conspiracy of all time, it's also perfectly easy to spot just by looking at the collapsing white demographics in western societies (less than 50% in the U.S. around 2040), combined with the propaganda that we see and hear in the media on a daily basis. All the critical points for discussion are suppressed: racial IQ, ethnic crime numbers, cultural differences, poll data, and a discussion of the fact that only the multinationals financing groups as Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission stand to benefit: lower wages, division in labor, infinite stock market growth, endless expansion of trade zones, and a future police state.


• The "great replacement" or "great extermination" "theory" for Jews in Israel. For now, Israel's "wall building right wing" is limiting this problem, but the Jews of Israel are under the same attack as whites in the West in a conspiracy that involves the Ford, Soros and Rockefeller foundations, the United Nations and European Union all funding pro-Palestine and pro-immigration NGOs in Israel, primarily working through the left-wing, Soros-allied, LGBTQ-pushing, Hamas and Hezbollah-petting Meretz Party.


• The role of Ford, Soros, Rockefeller and other "liberal CIA" foundations in financing the "anti-establishment", "new-left" media and all the NGOs organizing massive, anti-"populist" demonstrations throughout the West and at Capitol Hill. These protests falsely continue to be portrayed as "grassroots" by the mainstream media.


• That radicalizing, organizing and driving ethnic minorities to the voting booths to vote in favor of open borders is a major aspect of "liberal CIA" foundations, working together with Hollywwood, Silicon Valley, and various other superclass corporations.


• Control by the globalist movement and the security services over the conspiracy media, including Coast to Coast AM, the Alex Jones Show and Rense.com.


• ISGP being spied on by the security services, penalized into oblivion by Google, and boycotted by the conspiracy community.


• The justice system in the West being *extremely* corrupt. Not only is this visible in the protection of Google, but also in the manner in which rather obviously innocent people are being sentenced. In the Netherlands this is made possible because audio recordings are banned from court, with it being policy that courts not even make raw, full transcriptions of sessions available to the lawyers of clients or higher courts - if cases go that far. Lawyers serve as little more than controlled opposition, because it is absolutely not-done to accuse your colleagues (the judges and prosecutors you used to drink under the table at your university fraternity) of manipulation or corruption. An article will be published on this in the future.


• Basically all prominent Hollywood actors and many musicians being strangely dogmatic in their open-borders propaganda and their pushing of conspiracy disinformation.


• The same being true for arguably the biggest rebels in our society: rock and heavy metal musicians.


• CIA-overseen "Stay-Behind"/Gladio terrorism in Europe during the Cold War.


• CIA, MI6 and Mossad training of and cooperation with the drug cartels and drug-dealing dictators.


• Past U.S. support of military dictatorships and death squad leaders, especially in Latin America and mainly to protect the interests of large multinationals.


• Responsibility of the West in purposely allowing the growth of ISIS/ISIL by looking the other way as Turkey, Saudi Arabia (through intelligence chief "Bandar Bush", his wife earlier accused by the FBI of funding a Saudi intelligence-linked handler of the 9/11 hijackers) and Qatar were equipping the most extremist anti-Assad militias, in no small part from Libyan arms caches looted after the West-backed fall of Gaddafi.
  
  The West also pretended that "non-radical" Muslim militias it was arming wouldn't cooperate with "radical" Muslims - one of several fatal mistakes. A direct intervention over the deployment of WMDs by Assad, followed by a civil war would have been more humane - and put responsibility in the hands of the Syrian people.


• Coincidence or not, Gaddafi's fall and the linked ISIS/ISIL rise caused huge refugee streams from the Arab and Sub-Saharan black world into the West, exactly what globalist elites - including Obama - have secretly been desiring. They have been actively aiding refugees to make it onto Europe's southern shores through NGOs, navy and coast guard ships, promoting flight and making these refugees much harder to send back. EU papers have already calculated that the continent needs hundreds of millions of low-educated immigrants to stave off white birth deficits, without their being any interest to do something about the latter.


• Collaboration of Chamberlain, western banks and multinationals with the fascist regimes before WWII in order destroy all forms of communism and socialism.


• The 1967 USS Liberty incident.


• Hoover's FBI denying that such a thing as the mafia existed until forced to admit it by Robert Kennedy, while the CIA had recruited its leaders to help overthrow Fidel Castro.


• Apparent voter fraud with the Bush 2000 and 2004 elections. Diebold is a suspect, as well as the practice of keeping minorities - which are being radicalized and organized by the globalist movement - off the voting rolls. Unfortunately, the choice tends to be between open-borders-globalists and war-mongering conservatives. No choice at all really. THis is also why "liberal CIA" journalist Greg Palast was assigned to make a big deal out of these election issues. When a presidential candidate finally did make an issue out of voter fraud - Donald Trump - the accusations were all bogus, of course.


• Apparent high level pedophile entrapment networks with potential ritual abuse.


• 1999 Russian Apartment Bombings.


• Reality of the UFO phenomenon and the existence of more than the physical, in both cases without anybody knowing the details.

It's important to note here that the pro-open borders "liberal CIA" wing of the media, the so-called "new left", to an extent has already exposed CIA drug trafficking and death squad activity. This is nowhere near the extent that ISGP has done. Also, this type of "new left" media is fully against the discussing of the more sensitive conspiracies, JFK and 9/11 on top.

More on credible conspiracy theories

The following point-summary is an alternate list of credible conspiracy theories that includes a number of more general issues - and describes them a bit more in-depth:

• The existence of a supranational network of hundreds of key elites and more than 1,000 important NGOs - the superclass and its allies - that is dominating and streamlining national politics all throughout the West. It's extremely conspiratorial in nature, to the point of having set up its own private CIA operations to take over the media and politics, while hiding conspiracies and the full process of politics from the public. The basics have been described in ISGP's intro and "liberal CIA" articles.
  
  Very often, outsiders use terms as the "globalists" and the "New World Order". These have become loaded terms, especially the latter, because the individuals pushing these terms tend to be huge conspiracy disinformation artists. However, an extremely conspiratorial globalist movement most certainly does exist; and, let's face it, the beast needs to have a name. David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski occasionally and somewhat incorrectly stated that they were accused of being "internationalists". They were proud to be called such, of course, which makes the more accurate and easier-to-pronounce term "globalist" all the more valid.
  
  The term "globalist" is more accurate than "internationalist", because these elites are building a permanent, supranational political network and are striving towards large-scale political and economic integration. Even the term "New World Order" (movement) really isn't that bad, because in the end that's exactly what the globalists are striving for, whatever exact shape or form this "New World Order" will take. There also is a very cultic, world-religion-like, United Nations-linked aspect to the globalist movement, and they are extreme race-"integration" zealots without regard for racial IQ, ethnic crime, or poll data, so nothing should be ruled out. We just don't know exactly what the end game of the globalist movement is.


• Control over the "left" versus "right" political spectrum, with dogmatic, tightly-controlled political and "conspiracy theory" boxes being purposely created to play off against one another in an endless role play, all the while with the media pretending that the masses fall into these boxes. We're talking, for example, "liberal CIA" and "antifa" boxes versus "Libertarian" and "alt right" ones.
  
  It's very important to realize that traditionally most European parties - the socialists, Greens, Christan Democrats, Liberals, etc. - all were shades of Bilderberg grey: they all hid key conspiracies and have been dogmatically open-borders. Only when this situation became untenable around the turn of the century did politics in Europe all of a sudden become "divisive", with peculiar anti-immigration "populist" parties arising, all to often with ties to conservative intelligence networks. Liberal-socialist parties that are strongly anti-Third World immigration - which is the will of the people, polls show - are peculiarly absent.


• David Rockefeller and his closest Eastern Establishment friends, as well as key NGOs as Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission, all operating as private CIA assets and fronts. In reality this network controls the CIA and appears to be running its own privatized CIA operations.


• Regular collaboration between gangs and intelligence agencies, certainly in the past.


• Deep involvement in drug and arms trafficking by the CIA to fund covert operations that the public/congress won't sanction. ISGP now has a specific article on this listing over four dozen cases of CIA/Mossad drug trafficking involving the Golden Triangle, the Medellin Cartel, Cali Cartel, Guadalajara Cartel, Afghanistan and much, much more.


• False flag terrorist operations as a standard modus operandi for governments throughout history, the Reichstag Fire, the Gulf of Tonkin, Operation Northwoods, the Strategy of Tension, the Russian apartment bombings, almost certainly 9/11, and, if Cuba had been invaded as a result, the John F. Kennedy assassination being classic examples. A government always wants to be argue to its own population that it was not them who one who began the conflict.


• That the Russian government, with Vladimir Putin at the helm, was behind the 1999 Russian apartment bombing, without which he would not even remotely have gained the popularity to be elected president. His invasion of Chechnya, largely the price of his presidency, was secretly also over the new Caspian Sea oil discoveries.


• That the cruise ferry Estonia was sunk with the help of explosives and that clandestine Russian arms shipments had a lot to do with its sinking.


• CIA-mafia-Cuban exiles involvement in the JFK and RFK assassinations, most notably Ted Shackley and his team. And that the FBI and not-so-independent Warren Commission did a terrible investigative job, leaving out most of the witnesses who'd seen clear evidence of a second shooter at the knoll.


• The powerful and disastrous influence of the Israel Lobby in the U.S. and its key role in bringing about the $3 trillion Iraq invasion of 2003, which in 2014 led to the rise of ISIS here. And, of course, that the Bush administration and its neocon army greatly manipulated evidence against Iraq to justify an invasion.


• That the Israelis attacked the U.S.S. Liberty spy ship on purpose.


• That the Israelis have obtained a considerable arsenal of nuclear weapons.


• That the international Haganah/Zionist network has deep ties to the Jewish elements of the Russian and American mafias, and that in general the Zionist network is stacked with extremely criminal figures. Mind you, most Jews, such as in "liberal CIA"-controlled Hollywood, actually are ultra-liberal and allied to the globalist movement.


• Voter fraud, even in the United States, at least during the election of George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. And that the controversial Diebold company has extremely deep historic ties to the CIA and U.S. national security establishment.


• Potential short and long term economic growth problems due to a peak in the world's remaining conventional oil and gas supplies. However, more expensive shale oil for now has saved the world from the oil peak.


• Sexual and pedophile entrapment operations by the CIA, starting out under Allen Dulles as an aspect of Cold War psychological warfare programs (at least, that was the excuse). There's a strong possibility that in the 1960s and 1970s a lot of this "research" went into creating, manipulating and/or using cults. I personally suspect the modern day conspiracy movement is an extension of cult manipulation, with the Cayce Association and Disclosure Project being prime examples.


• That also the KGB/FSB carried out sexual entrapment operations, as the case of Yuri Skuratov clearly shows. Can't vouch for pedophile entrapment in their case, but the large scale and horrible Russian pedophile snuff ring exposed in 2000 by the Torre Annunziata prosecutor's office, clearly didn't make the slightest dent in the Russian press--and was almost immediately forgotten in the western media also.


• Regarding 9/11:
  
  
  • That Osama bin Laden organized the 9/11 operation, complete with his army of somewhat incompetent hijackers, but that U.S. national security elites cooperated with the Saudis, Pakistani ISI, and possibly a Russian-Ukrainian GRU firm Far West to make sure the attacks happened.
  
  
  • That there was criminal negligence of Bush, Rumsfeld and General Mike Canavan at the FAA on the morning of 9/11 with regard to the extreme delays in intercepts.
  
  
  • That the ties of Bush (his father of the CIA and Carlyle Group), Cheney (Far West) and Rumsfeld (best friend of Carlucci of the CIA and Carlyle Group) to the CIA and Saudis should not be overlooked.
  
  
  • That FEMA, the 9/11 Commission and NIST have refused to explain the molten pools of steel, the temperatures of "more than 2,800 °F (1540 °C)" that took more than three months to cool down, and the heavy local sulfidation attacks on certain steel beams. Thermite is suspected.
  
  
  • That it's impossible to brush off the fact that just about everyone present that day thought that bombs were located inside the WTC buildings, with both collapses being preceded by loud explosions. This was the case until mayor Giuliani and other authorities denied it.
  
  
  • That the NIST report is extremely flawed for both the Twin Towers and WTC 7 to the point of criminal negligence and that no media outlet dares to touch this fact.
  
  
  • That the 9/11 Truth movement is ran by spooks from A to Z who get all the big book contracts and access to the media. This is primarily obvious due to the fact that close to 100 percent of prominent and less prominent "researchers" back the bogus claim, based on contrived evidence, that Flight 77 couldn't have hit the Pentagon.


• That Alex Jones is a Christian conservative activist/operative who refuses to talk about groups as Le Cercle, the American Security Council, the John Birch Society, the Heritage Foundation and the Council for National Policy. I actually experienced this personally.


• That popular conspiracy disinformation site Rense.com is an incarnation of the pro-Nazi Liberty Lobby - which goes a long way to explain his continuous support for the holocaust-denying Institute for Historical Review.


• That Coast to Coast AM is ran by the security state from A to Z and that George Noory is a John Bircher.


• That the same elite new age connections are true for the Disclosure Project. Steven Greer and lawyer Daniel Sheehan have extensive connections to Laurance Rockefeller, Maurice Strong and other members of the liberal establishment.


• There appears to be a core of truth in the claims of Kay Griggs about the sexual abuse network her husband, Marine Corps chief of staff Colonel George Griggs, was part of.


• Not really a full cover up, but still very important: The unaccounted Pentagon trillions since its first mandatory audit in 1996, because it indicates tremendous and (economically) dangerous corruption, almost certainly involving many key defense contractors.

Credible and less controversial

Additional examples of confirmed conspiracies

ISGP's intro article contains a list of confirmed conspiracies that are uncontroversial or relatively uncontroversial in the West. In this section we explain these conspiracies a bit more:

1. 1931: Mukden Incident: Japan bombed a railway in Manchuria, blamed China, and used it as a pretext to take over all Chinese-controlled areas. The 1932 Lytton Commission of the League of Nations concluded in 1932 that the event was staged.


2. 1932-1972: Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment: In 1972 it came out that the U.S. Public Health Service had been studying syphilis in 399 Black men in Alabama without their informed consent for the past 40 years. Worse, even after penicillin was found to be a cure in 1947, treatment was deliberately withheld. This was relatively easy, because participants were told they had "bad blood"; not syphilis. A number of the participants died from the effects of syphilis, with others unwittingly infecting other women and children. 1
   
   It is very likely that this conspiracy primarily became acceptable to discuss due to heavy "liberal CIA" financing of the white replacement agenda, in which anything "evil" the "white man" has ever done needs to be brought to light. This is also why the early 1980s CIA crack cocaine affair has been discussed by some "liberal CIA" media outlets - because the drugs were brought into black communities. Or why "liberal CIA" foundations have been sponsoring something as the Innocence Project - to promote the (very false) idea that black people largely are overrepresented in prison due to racist, white, patriarchial judges.


3. 1933-1941: Corporate collusion with the fascists: U.S., British and other western banks and multinationals building up the war machines of Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy, with there also have been support for General Franco in Spain. This conspiracy has primarily been discussed in ISGP's International Chamber of Commerce and Pilgrims Society article, but evidence for it also can be found among the historical membership of the CFR, 1001 Club, Bilderberg, and Trilateral Commission. The evidence is very pervasive. Generally, the idea that Henry Ford was pro-Nazi is not very controversial, but every other aspect of big business support for the Nazis has mostly been side-stepped, and only occasionally is mentioned in an isolated sense. It's generally not denied though.


4. 1939–1941: The Holocaust - the Nazi aspect: Arguably this is the most well-prepared, biggest and most secretive conspiracy in modern history. Everybody in Germany and countries occupied by the Nazis saw Jews being deported from their communities and never return. By June 1942 reports started appearing in western newspapers of a massacre against the Jews. It appears by 1943 tons of Germans and East European citizens were quite aware that the Nazis were killing all the Jews, and "sending them up the chimney." Nothing was ever admitted though by the Nazis.
   
   
   • 1939–1941: The Holocaust - underplayed in the West, at the time: More controversially, but nevertheless a fact is that western governments and media showed little interest in unearthing the ongoing Nazi genocide against the Jews, with the FDR government's focus being on the war effort; not trying to prevent the genocide of Jews. It was the same with the British.
     
     On August 14, 1941, British prime minister Winston Churchil held a "broadcast to the world", explaining that British generals returning from the East Front informed him that "as [Hitler's] armies advance, whole districts are being exterminated. ... We are in the presence of a crime without a name." Churchill didn't mention the word Jew though. He referred to "Russian patriots" being killed. 2
     
     Actual Jews being systematically shot, in Poland, was first posted by the New York Times on October 26, 1941 - but effectively buried on page 6 3, partly in an effort to follow official government policy, and supposedly also because the Jewish owner, Arthur Sulzberger, thought of Jews purely as a religion; not a race. That's a cop-out, of course, but nevertheless a reported reason. 4 Then, in late June 1942, after ignoring reports from Jewish newspapers 5, many U.S. newspapers reported on a World Jewish Congress report that an estimated 1 million Jews already had been killed by the Nazis, directly or indirectly. However, again, these reports mostly were moved away from the front pages and described very succintly. All of this had to do with the fact that the FDR government simply did not want to highlight this aspect of the conflict. 6
     
     It wasn't until December 17, 1942 that the Allied Powers released a joint statement that "Jews are being transported ... to Eastern Europe. In Poland, which has been made the principal Nazi slaughterhouse, the ghettoes established by the German invaders are being systematically emptied of all Jews." Despite that, even when resistance fighter and Polish government-in-exile diplomat Jan Karski informed U.S. president FDR and his close Jewish ally Felix Frankfurter about the details of the East European ghettos and extermination camps, FDR apparently showed "more concern for the horses of Poland than its Jews" 7, with Frankfurter going, "I don't believe you." 8
     
     Hence, the Holocaust continued unabated until the final stages of the war, because the Allies purposely discouraged reporting on it, and didn't bomb extermination camps and transportation lines to them.


5. 1962: Operation Northwoods: A declassified Pentagon paper in which false-flag terrorist attacks, including staged hijackings and civilian deaths, were suggested to justify war against communist Cuba. The Kennedy administration rejected the plan, but it was a real conspiracy in the making. 9 Probably the most shocking is that this type of plan ever was put on paper and presented in such a manner to sitting cabinet members. Common sense would dictate you keep these type of ideas "off the record".


6. 1960s: Foundations fronting for the CIA in domestic and foreign funding: From the early 1960s on, the CIA was regularly exposed for being involved in questionable domestic 10 and foreign affairs. 11 One of the more secret aspects, and to this day not even close to having been fully exposed, is the fact that foundations as Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie and at least "164 other foundations" were fronting for the CIA to help it in some of its covert funding. CIA influence was so "massive", that a study showed that "nearly half" of all grants 12 and 66% of grants above $10,000 in the 1963-1966 period coming from these "164 other foundations" originated with the CIA. 13
   
   As can be seen in the sources, the 1975-1976 Church Committee walked around all too severely implicating the "Big Three" "liberal CIA" Rockefeller, Ford and Carnegie foundations in having fronted for CIA financing. David Rockefeller, known to have supported CIA coups; also is known to have promised his childhood friend Allen Dulles the Ford Foundation presidency if Eisenhower wouldn't make Dulles CIA director. 14 Dulles ended up being CIA director from 1953 to 1961. John McCloy, a Ford Foundation trustee from 1953- and chair from 1958 to 1964, as well as David Rockefeller's family-appointed mentor at Chase Manhattan Bank and the CFR provided cover for CIA agents while High Commissioner in Germany 15 and then sold CIA cooperation of his Ford Foundation to skeptical leadership by telling them that "if they failed to cooperate, the CIA would simply penetrate the foundation quietly." 16 So within the Ford Foundation there ended up being a secret 3-man CIA liaison committee. 17
   
   Ironically, even after the CIA ties supposedly were severed, all these foundations simply took over a lot of the CIA funding, from the Center for International Studies 18 to the African American Institute, and kept pumping money in the same causes. After all, behind the CIA and these foundations always was the same CFR and Pilgrims Society establishment. It turned out that most CIA-desired funding could be done better in an overt manner through foundations, other government branches and even businesses, without the CIA being directly involved.


7. 1971: FBI's COINTELPRO program: A secret FBI program under its right-wing director J. Edgar Hoover that ran from 1956 until its exposure in 1971. It surveilled, infiltrated and disrupted "liberal CIA"-funded "new left" groups involved in anti-Vietnam War and black civil rights activism. It even attempted to blackmail (a Rockefeller-funded) Martin Luther King, Jr. into committing suicide.


8. 1972-1974: Watergate: Initially talk of a break-in by operatives tied to the Republican Party and the Nixon White House were denied. This later was confirmed, prompting Nixon to resign as U.S. president in August 1974.


9. 1950s-1970s: CIA-backed coups: Among the best-documented mixed CIA- and big business-backed coups are the ones against Mohammad Mosaddegh in Iran in 1953 (installing The Shah), Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954, against Patrice Lumumba in Zaire in 1960 (installing future 1001 Club member Mobutu), and against Salvador Allende in Chile in 1973 (installing General Pinochet).


10. 1981-1986: Iran-Contra: This scandal involved a whole lot of conspiring by CIA- and U.S. military-tied individuals to come up with alternate means of fund-raising to circumvent congressional bans.


11. 1999-2004: Vioxx scandal: This involved a conspiracy between Merck and FDA officials, who together for a period of several years tried to hide the deadly side-effects of the Vioxx drug, between an estimated 28,000 to 50,000 people in the process, about one-third of all victims. Merck ended up paying billions in fines and settlements, but no Merck or FDA official ever was prosecuted, or had their career slowed down.

This is nothing yet, of course. There are plenty of other, less visible scandals.

Examples of confirmed Dutch conspiracies

Just over here in the Netherlands, this author can quickly point to at least three recent conspiracies, involving both government and private individuals:

1. 2000s-2020s: Secret steel slag dumping grounds (Netherlands): For decades, Dutch governments have quietly been dumping heavy metal-riddled steel slag from controversial, globalist-tied multinational Tata Steel (of Tata Sons) throughout the country, hiding the locations and underplaying the environmental effects. 19 For a long time, the Dutch government has been treating Tata Steel with kids' gloves.


2. 2000s-2020s: PFAS dumping and pollution (Netherlands and international): Similarly, certainly the Dutch government under prime minister Mark Rutte from 2010 to 2024 (and really beyond it too) had been covering up microplastics (PFAS) pollution in various places in the Netherlands, including at a major river in a densely-populated area east of Rotterdam where PFAS levels "13 thousand times above the safe standard" were detected in 2023. The cause was a Chemours factory 20 - spun off in 2015 from globalist multinational Dupont. In the same period, 3M - another globalist network-financing company - has been polluting the Dutch-Flemisch Westerschelde, having to pay 500 million euros to help clean it up. 21 3M also already had to pay $10 billion in damages in one U.S. case on the same issue. 22 To this day, little is done about this pollution, with government measurements for microplastics not being sensitive enough to detect over 99% of nanoplastics.


3. 2010s-: Dutch real estate agencies artificially driving up prices. 23 This was a controversial media issue in 2021, but since then disappeared from the radars.


4. 2005-2019, and on: (Dutch childcare) benefits scandal (toeslagenaffaire): In this affair over 40,000 people 24 unjustly had their childcare benefits cut off, in many cases with extremely dire and tragic consequences: losing their cars, jobs, careers, houses, eventually children, and - due to relentless existential stress - their health. 25 The case makes clear the apparent insanity of top bureaucrats in more than one department. A few cases of suspected fraud at a childcare agency? Boom! Let's stop all payments indefinitely and reclaim all past payments ever made from all the hundreds of clients of this childcare agency. 26 And then let's illegally withhold key documents when these parents file a lawsuit against the state. 27 Large sums - such as 13,000 euros for someone who makes 1,450 euros per month with only 12.50 per week over - also had to be paid back in just one year, or everything you own would be confiscated. 28
   
   It should also be noted that all the judges, from all levels of court, in all kinds of separate cases, consistently sided with the tax authorities. This later was dubbed "legal tunnel vision", a term also used with a number (blatantly on porpose) false convictions for murders. The peculiar internal advice was given that "judges must dare to side with ordinary citizens." 29 Meanwhile, the media remained silent. Only when the Council of State ruled on the side of parents in one case in 2017, did the problems for tens of thousands of people begin to surface in the media. 30 But until 2019 "mistakes" were made.
   
   Even for many years beyond 2017-2019, the affair continued to make headlines, and ironically (and very much per the globalist agenda, as well as a deflection because many victims were white) largely became focused on the government and its algorithms being "racist" 31 - despite the much higher crime numbers for immigrants. Accusations of a cover-up continued too. No one was prosecuted. 32 By 2022 it had been found out that at least 13 laws - ignoring "discrimination" - had consistently been broken by the tax service, with a congressman complaining on TV it was "mostly just a huge wall where you run into" in terms of getting additional internal inquiry reports from the government, because "now there are some people in the government who say, yes, if we admit it here, we'll have to admit even more." 33 A year later it was reported that frequent Bilderberger and prime minister Mark Rutte was a no-show no less than three times at parliamentary sessions where a person heading a commission to help the worst victims claimed she was "not able to do her job". 34 A ministerial assistant continually argued to parliament he did not have a "magic wand" and left the situation at that. 35 The first compensations started in 2021, but in 2023 - six years after the affair began - many victims still had not received a first compensation 36 and the vetting process was thought to only be finished by 2030. 37 In 2026, it was reported that bureaucrats internally had decided to withhold information from victims as to how they had been labeled by the tax service, based on an "internal work decision", despite the tax service knowing that withholding these documents is against the law. 38 Meanwhile, a police manual was uncovered that read that people who talk about "an evil elite ... chemtrails, the benefits scandal, WEF, nitrogen policy" should be labeled as "conspiracy theorists" and be treated as potential "radicals" and "extremists". 39
   
   Congressman Pieter Omtzigt became the big folk hero for helping to expose the benefits affair from 2019 on. Seeing how he regularly was concerned about "racist" aspects of the affair 40, it was clear he was not going to stay a folk hero for very long. He lost a ton of face over this during the November 2023 election, which he lost to anti-immigration neocon Geert Wilders. He fully was rejected after his subsequent stonewalling alongside mainstream parties in preventing Wilders to become prime minister, despite having captured 37 seats, 12 more than the second-biggest party. It's just another great example how all social-inclined congressmen are wolves in sheeps clothing. After a few nervous breakdowns in 2024, he left congress in early 2025.
   
   Ironically, in September 2024 Omtzigt did acknowledge that he had worries about (white) birth rates: "More hildren will be born in Ethiopia this year than in all twenty-seven member states of the European Union combined. The same applies to Congo. For Nigeria, it's twice as many..." For that, of course, he was relentlessly pestered in the "liberal CIA"-dominated press. 41
   
   More could be written about this affair, but this is a good, brief example of government just not caring about people and making up its own rules. To varying degrees you see this in countless Dutch government departments: the Tenant Commission, the DCMR (which has to counter pollution and noise disturbances by corporations), Justice, social security, etc.

Manipulating crime statistics: at least from 1995-2001, and 2007-today

In a 2019 poll roughly 1,500 Dutch police officers admitted what the population already knew, namely that the decrease of registered crime in the Netherlands is nothing more than a scam, and that the police force indeed discourages citizens from filing crime complaints. At least 84.4% of officers agreed - and really 97.3% - that there never was a 30% reduction in crime between 2013 and 2018, with 55% saying it actually increased over those years 42:

In addition, 72% of police officers agreed that the people indeed were rapidly developing "complaint fatique", with 60% of the officers acknowleging that they themselves and their colleagues actively were discouraging the population from filing criminal complaints:

It's quite fascinating that the polls about the reasons behind these policies have been left blank, but from an accompanying article we learn that most police officers reported that they simply were following orders.

Tactics to cover up real immigrant crime numbers are discussed in ISGP's White Guilt Warfare article.

Secretly Owned Insurance Complex and Invested Profits in Stock Market': "The [CIA] agency was involved to some degree in nearly half of all charitable grants by American foundations exclusive of the Ford, Rockefeller and Carnegie organizations, known collectively as the "Big Three.""
13. April 26, 1976, U.S. Congress: Senate, 'Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities' (chair: Frank Church, so part of the Church Committee), pp. 182-184: "1. CIA Use of Private Foundations Pre-1967: The use of plilanthropic organizations was a convenient way to pass funds, in that large amounts could be transferred rapidly, and in a form that need not alert unwitting officers of the recipient organizations to their source. In addition, foundation grants bestowed upon the recipient the apparent "blessing" of the foundation. The funding pattern involved a mixture of bona fide charitable foundations, devised foundations and funds, "front men" drawn from a list of America's most prominent citizens, and lawyers representing undisclosed clients.
    The CIA's intrusion into the foundation field in the 1960s can only be described as massive. Excluding grants from the "Big Three" — Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie — of the 700 grants over $10,000 given by 164 other foundations during the period 1963-1966, at least 108 involved partial or complete CIA funding. More importantly, CIA funding was involved in nearly half the grants the non-"Big Three" foundations made during this period in the field of international activities. In the same period more than one-third of the grants awarded by non-"Big Three" in the physical, life and social sciences also involved CIA funds.
    "Richard Helms testimony, 9/12/75, p. 2.")-26.
    Bona fide foundations, rather than those controlled by the CIA, were considered the best and most plausible kind of funding cover for certain kinds of operations. A 1966 CIA study explained the use of legitimate foundations was the most effective way of concealing the CIA's hand as well as reassuring members of funded organizations that the organization was in fact supported by private funds. The Agency study contended that this technique was "particularly effective for democratically-run membership organizations, which need to assure their own unwitting members and collaborators, as well as their hostile critics, that they have genuine, respectable, private sources of income."
    2. The CIA's Fourtdation-funded Covert Activity, Pre-1967:
    The philanthropic fix)nts used prior to 1967 funded a seemingly limitless range of covert action programs affecting youth groups, labor unions, univei-sities, publishing houses, and other private institutions in the United States and abroad. The following list illustrates the diversity of these operations:
    (1) The CIA assisted in the establishment in 1951 and the funding for over a decade of a research institute at a major American university. This assistance came as the result of a request from Under-secretary of State James Webb to General Bedell Smith, then Director of the CIA. Mr. Webb proposed that the center, which was to research worldwide political, economic, and social changes, be supported by the CIA in the interest of the entire intelligence community.
    (2) A project was undertaken in collaboration with a nationally prominent American business association. ...
    (3) The cooperation of an American labor organization in selected overseas labor activities.
    (4)) Support of an international organization of veterans and an international foundation for developing countries.
    (5) Support of an organiziation of journalists and an international women's association.
    (6) Partial support for an international educational exchange program run by a group of United States universities.
    (7) Funding of a legitimate U.S. association of farm organizations. Agency funds were used to host foreign visitoi-s, provide scholarships to an international cooperative training center at a United States university, and to reimburse the organization for various of its activities abroad. A CIA document prepared in 1967 notes that although the organization received some overt government funds from AID, the CIA should continue its covert funding because "programs funded by AID cannot address themselves to the same political goals toward which Agency operations are targeted because AID programs are part of official government-to-government programs and are designed for economic — not political — results. ...
    CIA funding of the National Student Association (NSA) [took place] from 1952 to 1967... The reason the CIA decided to help NSA is clear. In the years immediately after World War II the Soviet Union took the lead in trying to organize and propagandize the world student movement. The first Soviet Vice President of the International Union of Students, for example, was Alexander N. Shelepin, who later became Chairman of the Soviet State Security Committee (KGB). The American students who sought to compete with these communist-managed and directed student group were hampered by a lack of funds, while the communist groups had enough money to put on world youth festivals, conferences and forums, and regional conferences. In seeking funds at home, the American students found they were considered too far to the left in the general climate of McCarthyism and anti-intellectualism of the 1950s. Against this background, NSA officials, after being refused by the State Department and rebuffed by the Congress, were finally directed by the State Department in 1952 to the CIA."

41. Sep. 6, 2024, NRC (publisher partly owned by Soros-allied Stichting Media and Democracy, as with most Dutch newspapers), 'Voortplantingsracisme' ('Procreation racism') (notice the shameless misdirection): "Pieter came up with graphs: "More children will be born in Ethiopia this year than in all twenty-seven member states of the European Union combined. The same applies to Congo. For Nigeria, it's twice as many... I'll let you guess what that means in twenty, thirty years." I'm willing to guess. In twenty, thirty years, the Netherlands will be washed away thanks to climate change, which the politicians responsible did nothing about because it was complicated and criticizing migrants was more profitable. But that's probably not what Pieter meant. The idea that my care robot will then be repaired by a Nigerian is probably not the answer he was looking for either."
