'''KeyWiki''' is a [[wiki]] site which purports to be "a bipartisan knowledge base focusing primarily on corruption and the covert side of politics in the [[United States]] and globally", with a "particular interest" taken in anyone or anything considered to the ideological [[left]] of the founder, '''Trevor Loudon''', who is a New Zealandic far-right conspiracy theorist.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Posner |first1=Sarah |date=27 February 2017 |title=How the Conservative Movement Went All in for Trumpism |magazine=Rolling Stone |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/how-the-conservative-movement-went-all-in-for-trumpism-124964/ |access-date=30 December 2020 |archive-date=10 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110101532/https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/how-the-conservative-movement-went-all-in-for-trumpism-124964/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=8 March 2018 |title=Your online anti-Trump activity is being tracked by this wiki |work=Metro |url=https://www.metro.us/your-online-anti-trump-activity-is-being-tracked-by-this-wiki/ |archive-date=3 December 2020 |access-date=12 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201203011633/https://www.metro.us/your-online-anti-trump-activity-is-being-tracked-by-this-wiki/ |url-status=live }}</ref> This means liberals and some libertarians, also anti-communists, are included in the wiki as well. Launching in April 2010, it opened with 35,000 profiles on people it links with the Democratic Socialists of America, the [[Center for American Progress]], and other progressive organizations. The wiki is openly anti-[[socialist]], and anyone who has even signed a petition from a [[left-wing]] group is also indexed on KeyWiki. The site strictly limits who can edit articles.

"We've got congressmen in there, 'peace' activists, labor unionists, black radicals, 'religious' socialists, 'greenies', left wing academics , Obama appointees and thousands of card-carrying socialists and [[communists]]," Loudon said in announcing the project. "In short, all the people who are dragging America down." <ref>{{cite news | title = What Is KeyWiki? | work = The Free Republic | url = http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/22/AR2008052203905.html | date = 2010-04-12 | first=Fred | last=Nerks | accessdate=2010-07-29}}</ref>

Minus the [[Conspiracy theory|75% conspiratory junk]], [[Irony|it's not a terrible resource for leftists]] with its vast list of different groups and people.

==Trevor Loudon==
Loudon is a former vice president of ACT New Zealand, a center-right political party, who has a long-running penchant for publishing dossiers on anyone who smells "communist" or "socialist"; this dates back to the 1980s, when he gathered dossiers on all anti-nuclear activists in New Zealand and attempted to declare them agents of the [[Soviet Union]]. He also holds communists responsible for supplying the majority of the international [[drug]] trade<ref name=drugs>{{cite web | title = Drug Freeland Part 1 | work = New Zeal | url = http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2006/12/drug-freeland-part-1.html | date = 2006-12-19}}</ref>. 

Through his blog, he has published allegations of [[Barack Obama]]'s connections with the Young Communist League<ref>{{cite web | title =  Obama-file 20 Young Communist League Backs Barack Obama-Again | work = New Zeal | url = http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2008/02/obama-file-20-young-communist-league.html | date = 2008-02-29}}</ref>. Dana Milbank of the Washington Post, in review, stated that some of "The charges [against Obama] ranged from the absurd to the merely questionable".<ref>{{cite news | title = Obama as You've Never Known Him! | work = The Washington Post | url = http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/22/AR2008052203905.html | date = 2008-05-23 | first=Dana | last=Milbank | accessdate=2010-05-26}}</ref>

Understandably, his work is promoted by the American right-wing websites (i.e., Accuracy in Media<ref>{{cite web | title = Obama’s Communist Mentor | work = Accuracy in Media | url = http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-communist-mentor/ | date = 2008-02-18}}</ref>, the [[Falun Gong#Epoch Times|Epoch Times]]<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-07-20 |title=The Marxist Revolution in America Has Deep Foreign Roots |url=https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-marxist-revolution-in-america-has-deep-foreign-roots_4611206.html |access-date=2022-10-23 |work=The Epoch Times}}</ref>, etc.).
