Musings of the Month

Half the time now, Google buries this site dozens of search results deep even when typing 'ISGP-studies' in its search. It used to be number #1 just for 'ISGP'. It also has a habit of stripping the site's logo and name from the search engine. If you don't bookmark it, you're unlikely to ever find back the most censored website that has ever existed.

Articles as Managed Democracy, the "liberal CIA" and "conservative CIA" articles likely will continue to be updated once in a while, but this site is moving towards being an archive. I might add a whole range of "non-political" articles though.

150 yrs of managed democracy

CFR: US government privately ruled

Studies say: artifi-cial sweeters bad

9/11's suprana-tional suspects

ISGP's full and most up-to-date Superclass Index can be found below:

GREEN:	Career in banking, corporations, in economic government posts, or science.
YELLOW:	Congress, senate, judiciary, lower level government position, or (vice) president.
RED	Military career, defense secretary, CIA, national security advisor or national security scholar/scientist.
BLUE:	State Department.
PURPLE:	Soviet/nationalist Russian

The above colors have been used to give an indication of each person's professional background. The reader can count all the think tanks, foundations, and other NGOs each person in this list is involved in by going through ISGP's NGO list.

While the name "superclass" comes from Kissinger Associates managing director David Rothkopf, ISGP's "Superclass Index" is completely independent from Rothkopf's "Superclass List". ISGP's list strictly deals with the amount of NGOs a person has been involved with during his or her lifetime.

Zionist

Largely synonymous with Solntsevskaya Bratva in Russia, various Russian oligarchs, past U.S. mobsters as Meyer Lansky, neocon elements in the Pentagon and CIA, and the U.S.-based Israel lobby. It's quite worrying to see the great overlap between top U.S. officials and the Zionist list.

Putin is a modern KGB/FSB elitist who has subdued the oligarchs and think tank elite. His power comes from the FSB old boys and the oil, gas, media and defense corporations he has taken control of.
