^Mission
The Institute for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics (ISGP), back in 2003-2005, started out as a basic conspiracy research site, as so many thousands of others have claimed, and claim, to be. Quickly - after noticing the internet and offline media is completely, 100 percent dominated by conspiracy disinformation - its mission evolved into creating a safe space for truth with regard to research into conspiracy, covert operations, and the network of globalist think tanks dominating western governments. This expanded to health and spirituality, respectively in 2024 and 2025.
"Safe space" - due to proper sourcing and not leaving anything or any establishment untouched - really is the key word here. On this site, anno 2026, the reader can find roughly 100 articles, some of them book-length, with a total of about 2 million words, 10,300 endnotes, and over 17,000 total sources, not counting membership lists with biographies, and outside work. That's about thirty 300 page books.
Conspiracy theory is not considered a bad word here by the way. It's intrinsically linked with political theory.
Scoops and unique projects
For a list of unique documents first published by ISGP over the years, a separate page has created. For the rest, ISGP has been a unique project for some of the following reasons. ISGP:
- put together a list of about 2,000 important NGOs and the key persons who form an international "permanent establishment", organized in a new Superclass Index.
In the recent past not even a dozen of these organizations were mentioned on one site or in one book, let alone studied to any significant degree. Thus also no one ever produced a list based on the amount of significant NGOs persons have been involved in over the course of their lives. One would think this to be quite a blind spot whenever research in establishments has to be carried out. - created the "three-and-four-establishment models" and the Boxes Models for Politics and Conspiracy, which enormously help in explaining how establishments operate and how conspiracies can happen, as well as explain who are the key persons involved in them.
- produced the first detailed oversights showing how "liberal CIA" and "conservative CIA" foundations finance almost all aspects of what the public perceives as "independent" "anti-establishment" news outlets and street protest groups, most notably in the feminism and LGBTQ, global warming and Third World immigration domains.
- detailed how "liberal CIA" and "conservative CIA"-funded "activism" extends to all famous Hollywood actors
- with its 'Managed Democracy: U.S.' oversight, once and for all proved that the Peabody-Morgan family and eventually the Rockefeller family completely dominated the Republican versus Democrat election system from the mid 1800s to the early 21st century.
- uniquely documented pre-World War II Germany's social club and NGO network dominated by big business that in part also financed the rise of Adolf Hitler. The Rockefeller-Morgan-founded International Chamber of Commerce, the international meeting hosted by both Mussolini and Hitler, falls into the same category.
- detailed how Silicon Valley and the entertainment industry is part of the globalist cartel, both with very rigid opinions.
- produced very detailed articles on Coast to Coast AM, the Alex Jones Show, and 9/11 "Truth", providing clear evidence that the gatekeepers of the conspiracy media are tied in with the security services and are doing little more than providing the public with a steady stream of disinformation.
- produced the highly-unique Media Psywar Manual and the White Guilt Warfare Manual, by looking how the government and media manipulate public opinion regarding conspiracy and anti-Third World immigration thinking.
- published the first detailed articles on the Pilgrims Society, 1001 Club, and Le Cercle Pinay, based on never before published membership lists of these groups.
- was the first to publish an extensive article about the American Security Council, which included a list of over 200 historical board members.
- wrote very unique articles about the Sun Valley Meetings, the Bohemian Grove, the Association of Former Intelligence Officers, the OSS Society, USAPs, and the JASON Group.
- produced by far the most detailed and in-depth article on all aspects of 9/11.
- produced the first article on the JFK assassination which quite uniquely and indisputably explains why there was a cover up and who was behind it.
- produced the most detailed article on the history of ISIS.
- still has the best article, which the most amount of data, on the Peak Oil phenomenon.
- published and translated many Belgian judicial documents: the Dutroux X-Dossiers, various documents related to the X-Dossiers, and the ATLAS Dossier.
- has rather uniquely described Russia's establishments, including the most significant think tanks, societies and conferences.
- put together a list of over 400 curious seemingly politically-motivated deaths worldwide, the names gathered from years of research into this area.
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 absolutely essential documentation.
History: 2003-2026
ISGP has been extremely successful in making this information available in an honest, relatively easy-to-digest manner. However, over the years the site has been unsuccessful in getting the word out due to tremendous amounts of censorship from not just the mainstream media, but also all corners of the "alternative" media, and eventually Google and other search engines.
This project that started privately in mid 2003 to analyze the controversy surrounding 9/11. Quickly finding out that the entire 9/11 "Truth" community was manipulating the evidence, the site's first-released article - on some free internet provider-provided url - in January 2005 focused on dismissing the Pentagon-no-plane theory. This article created a lot a furor on Rense.com, and thus provided an incentive to keep going - but for many years with more of a focus on understanding the politics behind all the conspiracy disinformation.
In July 2005, the initial site was given the name Project for the Exposure of Hidden Institutions (PEHI). The first articles, apart from the Pentagon one, were about very unknown, but highly intriguing elite groups as the Pilgrims Society, the 1001 Club, Le Cercle Pinay, and the JASON Group. Really from the earliest period long lists were maintained of globalist NGOs, increasingly organized, and soon with names of board members, regular members, and visitors added as well.
PEHI began to count visitors on October 1, 2005. After having reached 150,000 individual visits in May 2007, in no small part due to a bit of support from employees of Alex Jones' Infowars as well, the site was transferred to pehi.eu.
In July 2008 the site's name changed to Institute for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics (ISGP). It wasn't just to better reflect the site's serious and professional nature, but also involved a shock-response over someone jokingly referring to PEHI as "Pee High!" As a Dutch person, who slightly pronounced PEHI differently than native English speakers, I had not picked up on this issue. Alternately ISGP can stand for Institute for the Study of Globalization and Parapolitics (ISGP), but at this point the term "parapolitics" is still too obscure. 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.
Despite the low numbers, especially looking at later female models on social media, there was a lot of engagement from people genuinely interested in the material, and thus it hardly mattered. In 2008 several volunteers 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. Various articles were written based on this new information.
ISGP largely went inactive after the November 2008 publication of David Teacher's book. This remained the case throughout 2009, largely having to do with going to college. Shorter articles were added in 2010, until the site was taken down in September of that year, mainly due to financial reasons.
From August 2012 to November 2014 many updates were made and articles written at the primary location where ISGP was backed-up: Wikispooks.com. The four-establishment model was introduced, as well as an index of private institutes and influential names. Articles appeared on the American Security Council, the OSS Society, the AFIO, Dutch and French child abuse networks, Russian elites, the non-independence of major alternative radio shows and authors, and highly stigmatized (which has a purpose) topics as the John F. Kennedy assassination and 9/11. It's the last thing I would have wanted to be associated with, but these subjects had to be discussed the proper way. In my opinion this has either not or hardly been done before.
In December 2014 ISGP was moved back to a regular url: ISGP.nl. The site was also redesigned from the ground up, vastly improving on looks from the 2005-early 2014 period and the mid to December 2014 look. Numerous major articles were also finished in the year 2014, a lot dealing with disinformation in the alternative media, most notably surrounding the huge radio show Coast to Coast AM.
In 2015 site design was further improved, the Coast to Coast AM article was hugely expanded, with also numerous updates being made to all the 9/11 material, including an article on WTC 7. Site improvements and 9/11 updating continued into 2016.
In early August 2016 ISGP.nl was moved to ISGP-studies.com. The main additions in 2016 - but by no means all - were articles on Alex Jones, the Pim Fortuyn assassination, crop circle disinformation, and the concept of "liberal CIA" and its network of NGOs, media outlets and action groups.
2017 saw the addition of "liberal CIA" foundations in relation to the financing of "grassroots" anti-Trump activism and pro-Third World immigration propaganda, as well as Google censorship. September saw the creation of ISGP's Center for Responsible Immigration. October saw a very lengthy article on psychedelics and elitism, which similarly is linked to the "liberal CIA" network. Earlier in the year an extensive article on the rise of ISIS was finished.
In early 2019 the first incarnation of the "conservative CIA" article and oversight was made available. This really set the stage for continuous and relatively easy updating whenever a new kind of prominent activist group emerged in society - because almost invariably they have a "liberal CIA" or "conservative CIA" support network in the background.
In the 2020-2024 period this author was mainly working on the "basics", with articles being published on the CFR, Trilateral, Bilderberg, Davos, and also the "Davos of the 1920s and 1930s": the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). With some help, the NGO oversight was expanded from about 1,500 NGOs to about 2,000, also leading to a great expansion of the superclass index. Dedicated articles on the boxes models and establishment models were created, and the intro article was slowly revamped. 2023 saw the publication of the very unique 'Managed Democracy: U.S.' article, incredibly important in once and for all proving the historical dominance of the Morgan and Rockefeller families on all historical U.S. elections and alternate candidates. A parallel article on the E.U. followed in 2024.
2023-2025 also saw major back-end and a number of front-end updates to ISGP, automating a number of processes that in the past sucked away large amounts of time, and also increasing security. In 2025 - after realizing that even high-resolution large smartphones still are far from ideal to watch the desktop version on - ISGP finally got a proper mobile view as well, which had to be integrated from scratch due to this site not being based on a content management system as Wordpress (which would get hacked instantly, as a test site along these lines seems to have demonstrated in 2023).
The May 2023-published TikTok article initiated an on-and-off 2.5 years of updating of Center for Responsible Immigration articles, all having to do with endless white guilt and pro-interracial dating propaganda on this platform. The white guilt article was massively expanded in this period, plus new articles being produced on 'The Passing of the Great Race' (2024) and interracial sex imbalances (2024). After ISGP's Instagram article was published in October 2025, this effort ended up again in calmer waters.
On May 4, 2024, ISGP released its Health Center, with a group of articles that added a whole new dimension to the site, while also easily being linked to ISGP's core research due to globalist companies, most notably Trilateral Commission ones, having major (and largely negative) influence on our food supply and medicine industry.
Months-long research leading up to the 2025 Instagram article, while the Trump II administration was coming to power, in no small part involved updating the "conservative CIA" oversight and Managed Democracy: U.S. article, while creating a separate Trump-Israel versus alt-right-antifa-UN-Hamas-Iran-Qatar timeline, in an effort to figure out what social media propaganda to believe.
Once all of the above was largely done, ISGP made the Supernatural Research Center available, which arguably released mega-million dollar material - developed in private since 2013 in particular - for free.
2026 and on probably won't see a large number of articles anymore. Apart from updating existing articles and oversights, there's not a whole lot to write about anymore in an intellectual, analytical sense. It mainly becomes important to engage people in the real world, and document those experiences.
Time invested 2003-2024
The author likes to keep track of the following data for himself, because ISGP has always been a numbers game from the start, as in "Am I going to do this right or not?" Half the hours invested means ISGP is at a certain level by the time the author is 80 instead of 40-years-old. If ISGP was done in a traditional way, meaning a social life-ruining 3 hours a day next to a tiring full-time job, ISGP would probably be around 15-20% of what it is today, and wouldn't be anywhere at the level it is today either (including unpublished projects and material) until the author would be around 180-years-old. The constant interruptions and continued mental tiredness of a full day's work and travel would guarantee tremendous slowdowns and a perpetual low quality of life.
| Total invested time: | 45,000 hours | Over a 22 year period. Working on ISGP and a parallel project, which may or may not be linked to ISGP some day, for 14 to 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, has been the norm whenever possible. This, of course, is not possible over such a long period of time, but probably an average of about 5.5 hours every single day has been reached. It's like residing in some kind of fascinating, useful prison. Thinking of it, a Ph.D. degree, which is focused on advancing knowledge, takes a max of about 7,000 hours of actual dedicated research to receive (and I've seen low quality to "pretty decent" Ph.D. dissertations/books in the field of "supranational politics" - which don't come close to my total work), so I guess that means I can award myself 6 to 7 Ph.D.'s. |
| Total word count: | 1,700,000 | Approximately, without taking into account text from sources, membership lists and biographies, and a few outside articles/books. A paperback often has about 280 words per page, so that would be about 15 400 page books. |
| Unique visitors: | 3,000,000 | From January 2005 to August 2023. This has become a total joke though beginning in 2015 with the first systematic Google censorship bullying, resulting in a virtual ban from the search engine by 2016. Even before that there was a lot of censorship, but at least Google's ranking system wasn't purely based on what Google thinks it should be. Since mid 2023, I don't bother tracking visitors anymore due to Statcounter, in my case, not working with content security policy. |
