History in the Shadows: Seven Genuine Conspiracies that shaped the modern world
Hey there stranger. My name is John Zek, I have been writing a book and producing Youtube videos to accompany it. This site houses part of the work I have been doing.
What is History in the Shadows?
In the modern era governments and states have used secret police, run covert operations to influence opinion and surveilled society.
These are genuine conspiracies sanctioned by governments and organisations, with a range of methods such as infiltration of political groups, disinformation campaigns, targeted assassinations to coverups and gang stalking; these conspiracies have played a concealed role in shaping our culture, history, and social systems and have been done with little public knowledge or approval.
History in the Shadows traces the origins of seven of the most influential conspiracies such as MKUltra, Plan Condor, ECHELON or COINTELPRO, and examines their impact on our current world.
Along the way John Zek (that's me) analyses and dispels the misinformation that comes from these complex events and answers popular conspiracy theories such as:
Are crisis actors real?
Did the US manufacture AIDS?
Was modern art a Psy-Op?
Are the Illuminati real?
Can the government brainwash people?
From troll farms, sock puppets and whether false flags are real to the racist motivations behind repopularising square-dancing or the impact of Latin-American feminist folk art on dictatorships:
History in the Shadows answers the questions you didn’t want to know or were too afraid to ask, a vaccine to a post-truth world, you will never look at history the same again.

Cold War Human Experimentation
Following in the footsteps of the inhumane human experimentation of Imperial Japan and the German Third Reich both East and West Superpowers rushed to explore the effects of Atomic, Biological and Chemical weaponry in the name of the Cold War. What followed was a trail of broken human bodies and minds devastated by powerful weapons. These posts discuss some of the most notable programs: Operation Paperclip, the CIA MKUltra program, the U.S army open air biological experiments, the Soviet poison laboratory and the legacy of these programs.
Conspiracism
'Conspiracism' is a term used to describe a basis of thought that seeks to connect all events to a larger 'conspiracy'. These posts explain the evolution of conspiracy thought and its impact on the world.
