About

"Before it leaves the planet, its destiny is to affect change, to bring people together in peace and harmony, and to be number 1 at what it does... The world needs the avant-garde and [PEHI] is it. Its ideas may one day be standard, but it is always on the cutting edge... [It acts as] a natural detective and can detect what is not honest, or true, in a person or a government... [When evolved PEHI] can help lead the world out of hypocrisy and into a honest exploration of life."
"[PEHI] is associated with idealistic concepts and rather spiritual issues... Its thinking is long term, and it's able to grasp the far-reaching effects of actions and plans. It is disappointed by the shortsighted views of many of its contemporaries."
- PEHI's destiny, according to an undervalued ancient Greek practice invented by Pythagoras. PEHI was the name of the site during the period when 95 percent of the material was written.
Mission
The purpose of the Project for the Exposure of Hidden Institutions (PEHI) has been to inform the world about the existence of an entire network of private, highly influential but low-profile organizations which have had great influence on how the world is shaped. Although there may be occasional updates, this task has largely been completed and the site can be considered inactive.
History
The information has been gathered systematically since early-2004 and the first articles were ready in May 2005. The PEHI website 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.
In the future ISGP may still publish the work of others, depending on what comes along, and there may possibly be a link to a different, much more uplifting project. But don't expect any new articles along the lines of those that have appeared in the past.

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 ... maybe you should start to look for people/organisations who are trying to do things differently like I am, and talk about them too. ... You may not agree that what I do is a solution, but i enjoin you to at least look for one. Though I cannot imagine how you would disagree on the goal and analysis which I have written about, and specifically on the basic principles which I base everything on: the equality of human dignity for all humans, and that political sovereignty belongs to the people."
- 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)
"I am impressed by your effort, "Project for the Exposure of Hidden Institutions"."
- Some educated person from the Disclosure Project (2006)
"Found your website while searching for Rothschild/Wolfensohn. 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.
"Yours was a very impressive rewrite in remarkably short order. Well done."
-
Journalist and documentary maker who volunteered some important information to this site. (September 2008)
"I was a bit nervous about approaching your [peak oil] article. I had developed a high opinion of your work while reading the horrific "Beyond the Dutroux Affair", but when dealing with "technical" subjects I am accustomed to seeing people make basic errors which often ruin or weaken their otherwise sensible arguments. In your case, my fears turned out to be unfounded."
-
Geologist for a contractor to the oil and gas industry. Also a senior staff member who develops training programmes for staff members and upcoming engineers in the area of geology and geotechnical engineering. (December 2007)
"The Project for the Exposure of Hidden Institutions, based in the Netherlands, is run by a gifted researcher. I suggest you consider visiting the site which also discusses other related organizations including Le Cercle."
- Columnist at Silver Investor who is largely responsible for informing the world on the Pilgrims Society (July 2006)
"I saw your web site and find this the best on the theme on the web."
- Apparent medical doctor from eastern Europe with mid- or high level friends in local Masonry. First to bring Memphis-Misraim to my attention. (2006)
"After spending a few hours here... you may never be the same."
- Interesting internet comment from a reader
"For years I have been interested in the topics covered on PEHI. For years I have sought such a database. For years I have sought logical and comprehensive articles covering these topics. After all the searching I have done in the past, all the articles I've read, all the trash information I've sorted through, through all the half-truths and half-lies I have brushed aside, I have finally found what I had been waiting for. PEHI is not only the way forward, but the way through. Keep up the amazing work."
- One of the more poetic emails I got from Canada. All this sounds nice, but rest assured that I too have far more questions than answers. (August 2007)
"A very interesting site I've seen is "Project For The Exposure Of Hidden Institutions". It gives a lot of interesting info, and a lot of who's who in each.. Some names I never heard of . This site is one of the most awesome on the subject I've seen yet. A must see..enjoy!!"
- Internet comment from a reader (2007)
"Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your site. Being an interested skeptic I would have to say your site stands alone in its depth of research and breadth of information."
- Email from a reader (November 2007)
"The Project for the Exposure of Hidden Institutions. It's like the big brother to this blog. The fucking motherload. The holy grail of the answer to the loaded question at the top of your screen, WHO'S REALLY PULLING THE STRINGS?... The Project has an article, well-researched like every other article on its page (and there aren’t too many–the author really goes for depth and meaning, unlike this author who rants and doesn’t always back it up ;)"
- Funny comments from a blogger. However, I still don't know who really "pulls the strings" of government, and there's definitely a world out there with far more talented researchers than me. (August 2007)
"This stuff is incredible - read the Dutroux page… Jesus - check out the whole site ... and spread the word. This website is amazing."
- Amusing internet comment (2007)
"I have been reading Otherwyze's link she posted on Dutroux all morning and although I am terribly sick and depressed about it now it really does give an insight into how things are covered up and why... I am only half way through the article but the police investigation and mis-information resemble Madeleine's case."
- Turning mothers and housewives into conspiracy theorists--I'm definitely going to hell now. (2007)
"I was planning to do some research on Jean Monnet and Schuman at some point and mentioned it in one of my articles, I think I asked if anyone knew who they were. One of my readers sent me your link because they're both included in your writings and man oh man, what a great find you were!... I have seen some of this elitist society exposure over the years but nothing as comprehensive as your site."
- Email from a reader (February 2007)
"The Project for the Exposure of Hidden Institutions has provided one of the most thorough debunkings of Loose Change."
- A news editor at telegraph.co.uk. (as he's referring to the no-757 theories I'll take that as a compliment) (May 2006)
"Finally! PEHI.EU update.. More on the Pilgrim's Society. Fuckin awesome, been waiting for this for months.. thought it'd never came."
- Internet comment (July 2008)
"Out of the Netherlands, ISGP, formerly the PEHI - Project for the Exposure of Hidden Institutions, is an independent online project very much in keeping with my own goals. A fantastic database on some of the less well known secret societies and covert groups - the author states that there is plenty of info on the CFR, Trilaterals and Bilderberg elsewhere online, and distances himself from the wacko religious mumbo-jumbo that often comes hand in hand with any analysis of the 'Illuminati' and 'New World Order' Globalism. It also seems relatively neutral regarding the alleged intent of its subject, which is quite rare and a welcome breath of fresh air. I give this my full endorsement... enjoy :)"
- Internet comment (late 2008)
"I actually can’t say enough about the Institution for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics (ISGP): It amazes me that Infowars hasn’t published anything by http://www.isgp.eu, the site has several leaked documents and produced original scholarly research. ... It doesn’t simply point out who the bad guys are, like Infowars does. For example, after reading some of the ISGP articles, David Rockefeller seems more or less like a front man and leader of [the] globalization [process], than someone who is working evil behind the scenes. It's enlightening opening information, so you need an open mind. ... ISGP also has connected early Conspiracy writers (people who talked about “illuminati” and “new world order”) and their connections to groups funded by intelligence agencies or connected to families who were deeply connected to intelligence or right-wing fascist groups. This is very important. ... So, take your time reading http://www.isgp.eu, because it presents a larger and deeper picture than you would get from Infowars. It goes away from the “new world order” picture, and presents something very shocking about the Ango-American Establishment, Pan-Europa/Vatican, and Intelligence/Military-Industrial-Complex groups that are working behind the scenes. Extremely eye opening."
- Comment placed in reaction to an article linked to at Inforwars.com. (August 2008)
"[Quigley's Round Table] is interesting information, but old (from the 1960’s). Check out http://www.isgp.eu for NEW information on this anglo-american establishment, particularly the pilgrims. ... It was MUCH more than the round table group."
- Infowars internet comment (August 2008)
""Institute For The Study Of Globalization And Covert Politics"....Holy Shit Mike, thanks for this link!!! I think I'm going to spend a couple of days reading through this site...Finally a "Think Tank" thats on our side!!!"
- Internet comment (March 2009)
"Anyway, as one follows pedophocracy links and trails, one heads further and further into red pill territory. It's almost enough to make you sympathise with that fellow in the Matrix who regretted taking the aforementioned. Eventually my trail led me to this, and this [ISGP], and this. To a certain extent I wonder if I should be linking to such things. Only because it's the equivalent of being thrown in the deep end. Hmm... 'deep end' doesn't quite cut it - how about 'the abyss'?" - Blogger. (March 2009)
