Oscar, I’m glad to be of help. I deplore censorship – trolls complaining that their ad hominem insults get moderated out suffer from immaturity, not censorship – but getting past internet censorship is particularly rewarding. Decades ago the US government turned to their engineering and technical community and asked them to build a communication system that couldn’t be censored. The techs obliged and did a very good job, and ever since, the US government has been trying to censor it!
Patrick Haseldine worked for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. He was sacked by John Major for writing a letter critical of Margaret Thatcher and her handling of an extradition request for an Irish citizen to face terrorism charges in the UK. Since then he has put a lot of effort into investigating the “Lockerbie bombing”; the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 of December 21, 1988. He has commented at this site many times over the years.
A page on Patrick Haseldine at (link) en-academic.com, whoever they are.
A few mentions of him on the Wikipedia “Pan Am 103 conspiracy theories” page – link
Looking at your screenshot, the nameserver prefixed X twice responded with “connection refused” which, at a guess, may be how it is set to respond to requests made through a VPN. Y and Z presumably sent something back, because something caused nslookup to exit without displaying a message – I’d expect nslookup to hang until timing out if it got no response.
No, I’ve never encountered the ISGP site before. Doesn’t look like my sort of site, to be honest, but I’d object to them being censored, same as anyone else.
I was playing around and had success with:
https://198.199.127.59/wiki/User:Patrick_Haseldine
So the site is still up.Once in I was able to navigate around the site.
Thank you for the clarifications. 🙂
Interestingly I knew Wikispooks existed when ISGP also had alleged censorship problems… and then Wikispooks hosted the ISGP backup.

Well… hopefully someday we will know what has happened and if there has been censorship, if it has been at the hand of CSL/Joker (German and European jurisdiction) or directly ICANN (US jurisdiction). If it has been from ICANN, freedom of speech and thought on and through the Internet is in danger, almost every website in the world is in danger, with the exception, perhaps, of regional domains….
We will see what happens.
Let’s move on!
Best regards.

“Dear Wikispooks Patron,
This is to let you know what is happening with the site, since you may have noticed that https://wikispooks.com stopped resolving a few days ago. This is because the domain registrar turned off the DNS after receiving legal threats relating to our Tracy Twyman page. Negotiations are currently ongoing and I hope to have good news soon. In the meantime, here is what you need to know to get round the censorship and access the site: Our IP address is 198.199.127.59 .
1) Add the following two lines to your /etc/hosts file:
198.199.127.59 www.wikispooks.com
198.199.127.59 wikispooks.com2) You can now browse as normal to https://www.wikispooks.com
One plus point from this has been a burst of appreciation for the site. I noticed that Robert Malone mentioned on his blog that we had gone offline. I’d welcome your suggestions for a domain registrar with a track record of resisting censorship, one who is less easily intimidated by legal threats.
Many thanks for you continued Patronage. As I say, I hope to have good news in a day or two, and will keep you updated, d.v.
Robin Upton””
Fran Adams, thanks.
Tracy Twyman. Hmm. From Wikispooks:
– “In 2018??[citation needed] she began to research Isaac Kappy’s claims about paedophilia in Hollywood[2] and was undeterred by his sudden death in May 2019. Two months later, she herself suddenly died. Someone posted a dead man’s switch video on YouTube in which she outlines some of what she uncovered, the FBI’s pronounced lack on interest and the subsequent death threats made against her.”
Thank you Fran Adams.
Infomaniak is subject to Swiss jurisdiction, but has no history of “bravery” in the face of power.
Personally, I have all my domains with OVH. They are serious and competent, and once hosted Wikileaks when Amazon kicked them off their servers… It is a company with headquarters in France, but with different sub-subsidiaries, and with clear legal ame technical delimitation between the US and Europe.
It’s a bummer, but I recommend that they consider using another domain that people can easily identify: it could be a regional one like .ch (Switzerland) or .eu (Europe) or some new domain… The EFF published a study on the subject a few years ago.
By the way: the registrar and the hosting provider always have to be different to avoid or mitigate such problems.
Thank you to Clark, D2B, ET, Fat Jon, Fran Adams and Oscar for investigating Wikispooks’ disappearance.
With any luck, WS will be up and running again soon!
Hello Patrick Haseldine. I wish I’d thought to look at your User page at Wikispooks; I’d have linked to it instead of en-academic.com, which looks like a horribly selective propaganda piece. I didn’t even notice that it was your User page that D2B linked to, or I’d have posted a recommendation. I’ve not been at my best recently and I apologise.
I’m disturbed by the Wikispooks page about covid and the pandemic, which echoes a narrative that has become popular among a vocal minority despite being easily disproved by publicly collated statistics from all over the world. The real scandal and cover-up of covid is, of course, that the US was effectively outsourcing extremely hazardous research to China, to circumvent restrictions in the US and to save money by performing the work under utterly inadequate biosafety conditions. Pretending that the pandemic is insignificant actually serves the agenda of those who would rather we didn’t suspect that it escaped from a US funded programme in a Chinese lab, and thus acts contrary to the objectives of Wikispooks.
I hope Wikispooks gets its domain registration re-enabled soon.

None of this works for me (Macbook/Safari) although knowing Apple’s brown nosing to the authorities while pretending to be the pinnacle of free internet browsing – I’m not surprised.
Wow. Thanks Patrick your link is the only thing which works for me.

Fat Jon, a bit of searching has told me that there’s an extra step required for the Mac operating system. After editing and saving /etc/hosts, you need to execute the following command in the terminal to flush the system’s DNS cache:
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderI got that from this article – iMore – which I found with the following search term:
/etc/hosts in apple
WS DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM SERVER HAS BEEN CENSORED
This message now heads each Wikispooks page:
Wikispooks.com DNS has been censored! – We are no longer reachable without expert knowledge!
To safeguard your access, add the following line to your hosts file:
198.199.127.59 www.wikispooks.comPlease support our freedom of speech and help create a Streisand Effect by telling your friends about this act of internet censorship.
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
That’s the file path in Windows, in which you’ll find the hosts file. Searching “etc\hosts” won’t, on my system, find the file. I had to do an internet search to find its location, so maybe give the full file path in future posts so people can skip that step.
Clark read the Pizzagate section.
Republicofscotland, thanks.
Sexual blackmail is standard tradecraft for secret services, and we can assume it’s standard tradecraft for organised crime as well. It apparently isn’t stopped by exposure of the sexual activities; there have been so many such exposures, yet still it goes on, still more comes out, whereas its use for blackmail is barely exposed at all.
My feeling is that although it’s a cause of some specific events, it’s actually a symptom of concentration of power and wealth. It doesn’t create power, it just moves what power there is between individuals and groups. Therefore we need a political and economic overhaul, an upgrade of democracy and a much fairer economy, to remove the incentive for it.
Probably the blackmail doesn’t get exposed much because the sex is so emotive, and thus a very powerful distraction, eg. everyone knows what Savile got up to and they’re so shocked and appalled that they don’t think further about what use it might have been put to.
Good thread. 198.199.127.59 is a “drip” IP on Digital Ocean’s network sub-sited in Amsterdam. DO is based in New York, stock traded on NYSE.
I’ve no doubt the wikispooks domain name has been blocked by its German DNS hosts complying with bullshit takedown demands from who-the-hell-knows.
My question is whether Digital Ocean will be targeted with a shutdown request against the 198.199.127.59 IP address, and if so what’s likely to happen, can anything be done to combat DO closing the circuit on the censorship of wikispooks?

Well, that did work until those who get paid to sow disinformation on certain forums alerted their masters to its existence.
I’m sure they are now working like rats in order to shut down any other alternatives listed here.
I find it somewhat ironic that spooks are falling over themselves to shut down a site which lists their previous spook activities.
The server at 198.199.127.59 is not responding at all, so far as I can make out.
clark@Old-HP:~$ ping 198.199.127.59

It’s not impossible that Wikispooks have disabled their own server entirely due to further legal threats. Hopefully Patrick Haseldine and/or Fran Adams will post further updates.
“Fat Jon, a bit of searching has told me that there’s an extra step required for the Mac operating system. After editing and saving /etc/hosts, you need to execute the following command in the terminal to flush the system’s DNS cache:
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderI got that from this article – iMore – which I found with the following search term:
"/etc/hosts in apple"Well I have made those amendments in terminal, but now my laptop says it cannot provide a secure connection to that server.
During the time I was able to access the site, it was obvious it was still being updated on a daily basis – but sadly 99% of potential visitors cannot access any of the pages.
If the reasons are to do with abuse of children in hollywood, and other media outlets; then they are a bit slow in shutting things down. Read ‘Musical Truth‘ by Mark Devlin (published as long ago as 2016) which investigates the business, and the author has slowed down video footage in order to observe the ultra brief subliminal messages contained within them.
The evil psychopaths seem to have a vast amount of control, and would prefer we see absolutely nothing of their behaviour. Although, their efforts to censor now seem to prove the conspiracy theories are actually true. No one goes to this amount of trouble to restrict the dissemination of lies.
It is also possible that Wikispooks’ web host has now been pressured, as well as their domain registrar.
whois still shows the domain status as clientHold, so no change there.
The server seems to be down – or maybe under maintenance. But the fact is that I can’t access the site from the browser.
Sorry, I had not read the last comments (technical problems).
We will wait for more information.
Long live the Streisand effect!
@Merry Mac, We can register a domain that depends as little as possible on the US jurisdiction, such as wikispooks.ch, .eu… also .icu or .onl… Do it in a trusted registrar…
And restore the last backup by hiring a suitable hosting from a reliable provider.
