shadowpuppets

I am excited to share my new substack, ShadowOps (shadowops.substack.com). A few weeks ago I posted on Shadow Puppets that I believe I am the target of a multi-decade program of surveillance and interference at the hands of the federal government and related actors. ShadowOps is the result of my independent investigation and documentation project exposing a system of government orchestrated covert interference operating within civilian life — a form of extrajudicial control and punishment I refer to as Covert Enforcement. ShadowOps shares evidence, exhibits, and firsthand records that trace how federal-connected individuals leveraged psychological operations, surveillance, and symbolic targeting to isolate, discredit, and contain. I have prepared over 55 exhibits and documented hundreds of events and I am in the process of posting these online now, with several already posted. The simplest way to describe it is the Truman Show with some dark twists. Here you’ll find, Exhibits, Commentary & Analysis, and for Sponsor level subscribers, source documents, evidence documents, sponsor only podcasts, and ongoing research. Everything published here is grounded in documentation and guided by law, not conjecture. I don't believe I am the only one targeted by these types of programs. Law Enforcement maintains a ‘Non-Investigative Subject’ label that I believe results in thousands of Americans being unwitting targets of what is essentially wrongful investigation. My goal is simple: exposure, accountability, and prevention. If you don’t want to subscribe yet, every Exhibit post has an introduction anyone can read, and you can read about my recent experience with my FOIA requests being unlawfully held at the Post Office, without subscribing. The pinned article, “Start Here” is also available to everyone and describes my 1993 first encounter with the FBI investigating the Unabomber case, and provides an overview of my allegations. I have already posted several redacted exhibits with more in process, and will be continuing this for the next month or two including all of the unredacted content. The recent stories in the media of the weaponization of law enforcement against political/other targets are just now coming to light, but there is a long history of abuse by these agencies, and it’s not just notable people, it’s everyday folks like you and me too. If you, or someone you know, suspects that this could be happening, my documentation is a great place to compare notes. Given the extensive exposure I have had to these programs, it’s a great way to share details of your experiences as well. If you are someone in the legal profession, a subject matter expert, a journalist, a podcaster, a literary agent, or anyone else who has an interest in discussing further, my contact information is available on the substack website. Ideally we can build a community of individuals who want to work to put a stop to these unlawful practices. Please make sure to subscribe so that you don’t miss out on the updates. shadowops.substack.com

March 25, 1811 -- Percy Bysshe Shelley is expelled from the University of Oxford for publishing the pamphlet "The Necessity of Atheism".

At any moment, we're in the process of suing federal agencies and industry giants for fraud and corruption. Often, it feels like we’re in an endless battle of David v. Goliath. And yet, we win the majority of our cases. Learn why in our video below.⚡️ youtube.com/watch?v=IyPXug…

I've been going down a wild rabbit hole all day for a story and I cannot wait to tell you all about it.

Christian nationalism on full display: evangelical leaders praying over Trump, war framed in religious terms, and attacks on pluralism ramping up. This is what happens when government aligns with one faith — everyone else pays the price. Read this 👇 verdict.justia.com/amp/2026/03/23…

"Under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954 due to pressure from the Knights of Columbus. Prior to that, Congress rejected repeated attempts by Christians reformers to amend the Constitution to formally recognize God and Christianity, so they shifted to symbols and slogans. Read more about that here (free) shadowpuppets.substack.com/p/when-did-in-… The Constitution protects every religion by favoring no religion.

@Mikethewander1 There's a good reason that the US founding fathers chose not to have a state religion - over 300 years of bloodshed and destruction between catholics and protestants fighting over which version of Christianity would prevail. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_…

TBH, I have mixed feelings about living in a time when I have to check to see if people posting as members of Congress are parody accounts or not. Also: Ironic to depict these guys as Catholic crusaders when the Founders were mostly anti-Papist. catholicworldreport.com/2025/07/04/10-…

Before the First Amendment, Benjamin Franklin understood the stakes: Without free speech, liberty can’t survive. Nearly 250 years later, that principle still defines America.

@ChristnNitemare Another good quote from Madison, and a free substack article on the real secular founding and the myth of a Christian nation: open.substack.com/pub/shadowpupp…

Christian Nationalist congressman Andy Ogles just posted this with the following text: "This is a battle of good vs evil. We must reaffirm that our nation was built on Christian principles. ✝️ Join Us 🇺🇸"

@rabbitholebot You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

@Polymarket It’s not doomscrolling it’s doommaxing 📱

JUST IN: Apple CEO Tim Cook urges people to stop “doomscrolling”

Surveillance isn't inevitable. Let's stop normalizing it.

@DrEricDing “Defense network computers. New… powerful… hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart… a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond… extermination.”

So… In Terminator 2, SKYNET is a super AI that took over control of nuclear weapons and launched them to obliterate mankind. ⚠️Today—the U.S. government wants to digitize its arsenal of Minutemen nuclear weapons ICBMs to allow AI wireless control. Stupid?

I use alot a lot as a habit. I was taught by an old woman in elementary school that it was a word. For her, it probably was used just like that, and perhaps a way to distinguish it as an adjective since a “lot” could be a noun. They essentially mean the same thing for all in tents and porpoises ⛺️ 🐬

@SketchesbyBoze People who don't read give away lots of little signals when they post online. Aside from obvious errors like "their/there/they're" >Confusing the appropriateness of compound words - for example when to use "every day" instead of "everyday". >Non-existent words, such as "alot".

You can be pretty confident that someone doesn’t read when they say “raped over at Kohl’s” rather than “raked over the coals.” As literacy declines, we are seeing new & unparalleled malapropisms.

@hyprturing I think the LLM will be on your phone and will communicate with the IOT via standardized API’s.

i think chips with burnt-in LLMs that run at a very low power will probably result in much of the world around us being unneccesarily intelligent. cheaper to throw that chip and some flash with a readme into an automatic door opener than develop firmware for it.

Among people born before 1950: 65% favor the federal government declaring the U.S. a Christian nation. Among people born in the early 2000s: 32% favor the federal government declaring the U.S. a Christian nation.
