Metapedia is an electronic encyclopedia about culture, art, science, philosophy and politics.
The word 'Metapedia' is derived from two concepts from classical greek: 'meta' that means 'outside' or 'beyond'; and 'enkyklios paideia' that means 'encyclopedia'. The name has a dual symbolic meaning:
Metapedia sets its focus on topics that usually are not covered in — i.e. that falls outside of — mainstream encyclopedias.
Metapedia has a metapolitical purpose, to influence the mainstream debate, culture and historical view.
The project is still in its early stages, but the database is growing every day and you are heartily welcome to contribute to the growth of this valuable and unique encyclopedia.

Stewart David Nozette (born May 20, 1957) is an American scientist and an admitted spy for Israel. In the past he worked for the United States Department of Energy, United States Department of Defense and NASA. In January 2009 he pleaded guilty to tax evasion and defrauding the government. He was scheduled to be sentenced for these crimes on November 18, 2009 in a plea deal where he would serve 24 to 37 months in prison and pay a $265,000 fine. The deal has yet to be agreed to by a judge; sentencing has been delayed due to the recent espionage charges.
