What It Is
This guide is for when the government, a corporation, or some billionaireâs pet judge is clearly covering up corruptionâand youâre ready to expose it. Whether itâs a secret client list, a buried environmental report, or a quietly passed law that screws over millions, this is how to dig it up and drag it screaming into the light (without becoming a headline yourself).
Why It Matters
Letâs be real: fascists thrive in the shadows. Every regime, from Nixon to now, has relied on suppressing truth to keep power. Right now, Trumpworld is actively hiding Epstein connections, environmental destruction, and constitutional violations. If we donât shine a light on this roach motel of corruption, it just keeps crawling deeper. Resistance starts with receiptsâand this guide helps you find them.
Step-by-Step: How to Investigate and Expose a Cover-Up (Without Ending Up in a Ditch)
1. Pick Your Poison
Target one story. Donât try to unravel all conspiracies at once. Choose something that directly affects your community:
â A suspicious land deal?
â A delayed investigation?
â A law passed at 3 a.m. while everyone was watching a fake Trump rally?
2. Collect the âKnownsâ
What do we know for sure? Start with facts from public sources (city council records, state budgets, C-SPAN hearings, leaked PDFs). Save them to a secure folder (ideally encrypted or offline).
3. FOIA, Baby
File a Freedom of Information Act requestâor its state equivalent (many states have their own public records laws). Ask for emails, contracts, visitor logs, anything related to your target.
Use templates from:
4. Cross-Check Everything
Use tools like TinEye for reverse image searches, DocumentCloud for uploads, and campaign finance tools like OpenSecrets to connect the dots. Example: Did the guy who killed a report on police misconduct also get a campaign donation from a police union PAC? Hmmm.
5. Talk to People
Whistleblowers, former employees, union reps, and local journalists can be goldmines. Never record without permission. Never promise total anonymity unless you know how to guarantee it (like using Signal or ProtonMail).
6. Publish Strategically
You donât need to go viral. Sometimes itâs smarter to share with watchdog orgs, resistance media, or lawyers before hitting TikTok. Try these:
â Project Censored
â Documented.net
â Popular Information
â ResistanceKitty.com (weâll post it if it checks out)
7. Protect Yourself
Use a burner email. Turn off geotags. Donât put your real name on anything unless youâre ready to go full Snowden.
8. Create a Pressure Campaign
Once the infoâs out, direct people to flood the offices of the corrupt officials involved. Share call scripts, email templates, and event pages. Force them to respondâor resign.
Example in Action
A resistance podcaster in Ohio discovered that a rural hospital’s board was secretly bought out by a Trump megadonor group trying to force “morality clauses” into treatment plans. They used FOIA to get board meeting minutes, leaked it to journalists, and exposed the real plan: to eliminate trans-affirming care across the state.
Pro Tip
Never say âI think.â Say âThe documents show.â Facts are your clawsâuse them with precision and purpose.
Final Words from Resistance Kitty
Snitches donât get stitchesâthey get justice. In a fascist regime, covering up crimes is the default. Tearing back that curtain is one of the most powerful forms of resistance. So sharpen those claws, grab your flashlights, and start hunting.
