>they are not exactly 'mainstream' unless you consider the likes of geocities to be authoritative, likewise books about 'the secret government' etc.

I understand how this might appear at first glance, but there are only six references to geocities sites - all of them managed by Frank Ripel (Gianfranco Perilli), a leader of the Memphis Misraim Rite from 1981 through to its closure in 1999. In writing about this group, Joel van der Reijen (the author) is using (arguably) the best source available - the group's leader.

If you or I led some strange mystical group and someone mentioned it in their article, why not use primary source information - like the group leader's websites?

I didn't see any references to a book with a title similar to The Secret Government, although such subject matter is hardly without credibility in an age where the existence of a 'deep state' is an accepted fact. Are we to discard the works of Chomsky, Blum, and award-winning journalists like Seymour Hersh or David Wise because they address such subject matter? This thought process is why rigidly anti-conspiracy thinking is (in my view) flawed and dangerous.

>I don't see anything that wasn't previously available from another source, unless that information is coming from sources that are questionable at best.

One title that is referenced a number of times is De X Dossiers by Marie-Jeanne Van Heeswyck, Annemie Bulté, and Douglas De Coninck, published in 1999, which reproduces verbatim the testimonies of the so-called "X Witnesses." Before the publication of this article, none of these testimonies were available (in any form) digitally or in English.

Bulté and De Coninck, who were sued, censured and fired for bringing these testimonies to light, were respected journalists employed with one of the largest newspapers in Belgium. They continue to work for different papers such as Le Journal de Mardi, which Van Heeswyck co-founded with the lawyer for the parents of Loubna Benaïssa - a young girl whose murder was tied to these criminal networks, in part through the account of Regina Louf (X1).

>"As you can see, it's not unreasonable to keep an open mind that there could well exist a Satanic abuse cell somewhere within the earlier-mentioned black network. Like with any intelligence project, it would only be necessary for a few ritual and-or occult practitioners of, for example the Memphis-Misraim rite or the Martinist and Synarchist Order (or apparently Opus Dei and the Knights of Malta), to be initiated into this black network while all the rest of the staff and membership of these organizations would know little or nothing about these depraved practices. As for Opus Dei and Knights of Malta, the P2 lodge affair provided evidence that at the highest level these two Catholic organizations were in control, together with US intelligence. [335]

You're using an excerpt in which he is drawing conclusions without including the arguments or references used to support it. This statement, out of context, may appear far out to someone who isn't aware that:

(a) The figures identified by the "X Witnesses" were predominantly members of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (also known as the Knights of Malta) and Opus Dei.

(b) P.2. was without doubt an enterprise sponsored by the U.S. intelligence services and played a key role in anticommunist operations in Italy.

(c) The intelligence community uses a wide array of irregular groups to cover of its operations - including satanism. Did you know one of the largest and most oft-accused satanic groups in America, the Temple of Set, [was co-founded and is run] (http://www.equalparenting-bc.ca/news/images/button_aquino-devil-worshiper.jpg) [by a senior military intelligence officer who specialized in psychological warfare?] (https://www.amazon.ca/MindWar-Michael-Aquino-Ph-D/dp/1535199563) Or about the multiple, independent allegations from credible witnesses about child abuse and cult activity [on the army base in Presidio?] (http://www.outpost-of-freedom.com/aquino01.htm) Or that the U.S. intelligence services were tied to a religious group called "the Finders" which was implicated in child abuse and animal sacrifice? I know how insane that sounds - trust me. So what does it say about the world we live in [that it was reported in U.S. News & World Report (but never discussed again)?] (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b-rlyX3CkOo/UZnPVlO_piI/AAAAAAABkDI/2fvmFTR-Mpo/s1600/01e6e22130c10637.jpg)

The FBI (through figures like Kenneth Lanning and John Douglas) denies the existence of ritual satanic crime in the same way they denied (for years) the existence of organized crime or the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan.

>I've known this website since it first appeared, thanks to a friend who is a fiend for this stuff, so I am not dismissing it lightly. think of the trope of someone connecting a whole lot of unconnected news articles with bits of red string to create a grand conspiracy. add a focus on Masons and such, and you have this.

I understand, but the 'red strings' do represent connections and the burden of proof rests with the person claiming otherwise. We cannot arbitrarily value or devalue connective links from mainstream sources (the majority of the references being English and European-language newspapers) simply because we're repulsed by their implications.
