Geneva, Switzerland

I want to give victims, attorneys, researchers and anyone following this work a clear update on where things stand. I reached out to a senior expert in global governance to ask if they would supervise a doctoral dissertation that documents the conditions that allowed a shadow ecosystem to grow inside the blind spots of domestic and international oversight. If they accept, I will begin immediately.

This will not bring relief tomorrow. I am frustrated by that fact and I know many of you are too. I have been tracked and targeted across ten states and two countries. I have watched the same patterns repeat in France and Switzerland. That alone proves what every victim already knows. This system is not built for one target. No fusion center or private contractor network runs a multijurisdictional repression program for a single person. This is machinery. It runs on contracts, incentives, data demands and the absence of guardrails. It spreads because no one is watching it closely and because too many people benefit from looking away.

If this doctoral project moves forward, I will have a platform to map the variables that allowed this to grow unchecked. I will have access to the scholars and policymakers who influence oversight, legislation and policy reform. Once the research is underway, we can start building the record that forces institutions to confront the truth. That is how you get guardrails. That is how you close the gaps. That is how you put the genie back in the bottle.

I want to be honest about the scale of the fight. This shadow ecosystem has been operating with impunity for at least twenty years from what I can see. It could be longer. It has roots in counterinsurgency frameworks, post 9/11 doctrine and the rise of private contractor driven surveillance markets. Systems that thrive in the dark rarely surrender without force. Each day that passes, people are being harmed by something that never should have existed. That is not abstract. It is brutal and real.

This will be a long road. It is a marathon. And I am disheartened because some victims will be subject to extrajudicial elimination without due process by this machine before we shut it down. That is the part that weighs on me. People deserve better than this. They deserve a country that does not use private actors as a shield for unlawful repression.

I also want to be honest about accountability. After World War II, many people who participated in the atrocities of the Nazi regime were never prosecuted. History never catches every actor. I cannot promise that every person who harmed civilians through this system will be held to account. Some will slip through the cracks. But I do believe that once the research is underway and once the record is built, institutions will no longer be able to pretend this does not exist. And I believe that some actors will face consequences. That matters.

My commitment is simple. I will not stop until this system is dragged into the daylight. I will not stop until there are guardrails strong enough to prevent this from happening to anyone else.

This is the first step in that process. It is slow. But once the research begins, the countdown on this shadow network begins with it.

I want to be transparent about the stakes for everyone watching this unfold. For six months I have been forced to navigate chemical suppression, destabilization, and continuous monitoring across ten jurisdictions and two countries. The fact that I am still standing is proof of resilience, not immunity. The system relies on attrition. It relies on wearing people down until their testimony collapses under pressure. I refuse to collapse. But the work ahead requires safety, stability, and support. If you can connect me with legal protection, institutional backing, secure lodging, or if you can support the GoFundMe that keeps me moving forward, do it. This is not about saving one individual. This is about exposing a private contractor driven ecosystem that mirrors eighty six fusion center networks across the United States and now appears operational in Switzerland and France. A system built on that scale is not harming a handful of people. It is harming populations. If this record survives, the machinery loses its cover. If it does not, it continues unchecked, hollowing out civil society even further than it already has, and doing so with complete impunity.
