I spent time having video calls with LEOs, intelligence agents and military folks over the course of the past 6-9 months. I saw how broken and disjointed and tribal power has become within the world of American authority.

I now know things about how the US government and military work that I feel the public should know.

I could write a book or make a YouTube video. But both of those are to inflexible and risky. I want to spill the beans in a much more permanent and effective way. I would like to help the public understand what is really going on behind the scenes, as best as I have seen.

  • Snowden gave the information to reporters and then tried to make his way to a non-extradition country. The U.S. canceled his passport, he got stuck in Russia. My advice, get to your destination first, and then say something. Many media outlets have a way to upload documents anonymously to protect sources.

    I don’t mean to offend, but you probably don’t have anything actionable or even surprising to anybody that’s been there. “The system is fucked!” Isn’t news to anybody. You’d have to have something with concrete proof that an individual or org has done something specific. And talking to individuals and getting their stories would be more worthy of a book than a whistle blower situation. Maybe you have that, I don’t know. But you need files, pictures, or something that proves that it was a known policy or intentional wrongdoing, or you’ll get nowhere. And odds are it’s too broad if you’re getting this from that many seperate pillars of authority.

    Contacting a journalist from some relatively non-US-Flavor aid-drinking media outlet? Find some that allow contact through encrypted media, work meticulously to not give any obvious identity clues. This being said, I feel “they’re a bunch of crazy, corrupt dumbfucks” might not work as news, per se.

      Hit up Polymarket, move the proceeds to crypto, move yourself to a non-extradition country, then spill the beans. It’s much easier to be on the wrong side of the US military industrial complex when you don’t have to rely on working for income.

    I’ve had to help similar whistleblowers and people in the Epstein saga and had to write this up already:

    I’d suggest looking into what news outlets are still willing to ‘break the story’ to the public these days. Perhaps a search for ‘whistle blower story’ might help you find these that are willing to still be proper reporters.

    If you feel you’re life might be endanger in anyway, but reaching out to someone to share your story, consider looking into concealing yourself with any device you decide to use. I’m sure there are resources out there that can help you navigate this. If what you say is true, do what you believe to be the moral thing to do.

    Write it all down. Get your story straight. Find a journalist you trust based on their past reporting and share. They will want evidence to corroborate your stories.

      Also ensure that it can’t be tracked down to you, or have multiple escape routes planned out. Tell when you’re abroad, for example.

  • Document everything with pics and/or video and collect as much physical evidence I possibly can. Post it online while also sending it to every journalist I can get the contact info for. Basically just try and flood it to as many places at the same time as I possibly can so it both gets seen and is harder to scrub.

    Check your employment contract about information dissemination, if you are on calls with those people there are likely restrictions on what can be released without authorisation.

    While you wouldn’t be releasing specific information (I hope) there would still be restrictions on discussing sops.

    It’s always been broken, disjointed and tribal. You can tell everyone, but many have already known this. Hell, most of humanity is like this naturally.

    Almost every large organization is this way, really. Most of it is just covered up by goverment or corporate propaganda or some weird sense of duty people have to jobs or organizations.

    This ain’t anything new, is my point. It’s new and shocking to you, sure. Welcome to the tribe of the disillusioned. It was always better in the past and new people are always going to make it “like it was” and “better”. (Quite literally the selling point myth of MAGA, to be honest.)
