Over the last several months, my colleagues and I have documented the existence of, and testified to Congress about, a secretive Censorship Industrial Complex, which consists of U.S. and other government agencies, private sector think tanks, and academic institutions working together to spy on and censor ordinary citizens for constitutionally-protected speech.
We can't do this work alone. If you work for the U.S. Government Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Atlantic Council, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, Graphika, Stanford, Internet Observatory, the University of Washington, the Center for American Progress, or the Center for Countering Digital Hate, or any other organization that claims to be fighting “misinformation,” “fake news,” or “hate” online, we need to hear from you.
Those censorship organizations are threatening the very foundation of our democracy and our freedom.
We've assembled a world-class legal team to protect whistleblowers, and we will do everything in our power to protect you and others who come forward with vital information.
If you know something, say something. We will protect anonymity. Please email me on my encrypted email, MichaelShellenberger@proton.me, to be in contact.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you so much Michael for your continued, hard work and honest reporting. You are a national treasure. I always sing your great work to my colleagues/family/friends & urge them to sign up to your Substack.
You are a legend, Michael. Will you co-sign my open letter to substack leadership about protecting free speech along with 100+ other freedom loving writers? https://substack.com/profile/64905469-yuri-bezmenov/note/c-14787883
Open source journalism, at its finest. And its important.
I just hope you are not infiltrated. My trust in the government is below zero.
Best of luck on this initiative Michael! I have my doubts that free people can defeat the leviathan but at least we may bring this to the consciousness of the majority of people out there who don't know, don't care, and/or support the leviathan.
Whistleblowers should also download the app and create a free Protonmail account to ensure end to end encryption. Best wishes in knocking down the alarming protofascist capture of our public institutions.
Michael, thank you for taking on this criticality important task. If we don’t bring an end to this blind, follow-the-leader syndrome that has invaded once independent minds hope will be lost for generations.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your hard work and the risks that you are willing to take for our democracy. You are a true warrior. We are so grateful for your service.
It seems to me like the most direct way to attack the censorship industrial complex is through legal challenges on First Amendment grounds. The Twitter files showed the federal bureaucracy using money and their implicit power, directly and through proxies, to censor Americans.
The nothingburger crowd will say that Twitter and Facebook are private operations that get tons of viewpoint input from everywhere, including governments, and they have the freedom to act on it or not. This needs to be tested in court.
Might work but the Supreme Court has been corrupted. Who is the John Roberts who was on the manifest to Epstein's Pedo Island? Justice Antonin Scalia was likely murdered by the Deep State.
Let's just hope there exists principled Americans with integrity working for OUR corrupt government and the GONGO groups that will FINALLY step up and be counted. This shit has got to stop. The 4th estate must function properly and outing whistleblowers is the opposite of that role.
Our government has become predatory. It must be stopped. Only direct action from each and every one of us (or, those of us who oppose oppression and re-enslavement/serfdom) can reverse the tide. Thank you Michael!!
good job guys.
one of my first thoughts when the scope of the Twitter Files were revealed was, why haven’t any whistleblowers come forward yet?!? why did it take 44 Billion dollars from Musk to find this out?
there must be hundreds of skeptical folks at tge institutions
Because the bad guys, and they are bad, psychopaths, have all the money and power. Being a whistleblower against them and they will seek vengeance. Julian Assange is a good example.
Thank you for all you’re doing to protect out liberties Michael!!
I hope you get enough material from this request to write a book to get this information out to a large number of people.
God bless you Michael!
Interesting that governments are all for “see something, say something” when it comes to private citizens snooping and snitching on each other. Let’s see how they like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Keep up the good work!
Thank you and -- VERY pertinent re Twitter ...

Michael,
Thank you for what you are doing.
I am not researching "misinformation" in a pragmatic, scientific manner. However, I am gathering data on multiple topics (climate change, politics, homelessness, etc.) to root out misinformation.
If there is any way that I can help with your work, please let me know. Note: I can do more than busy work. I have a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from Iowa State, and an MBA from Harvard University and some service in the US Army. I have founded multiple companies. I can take a project from beginning to end, and I do not mind doing grunt work.
Cheers,
Bob
bless you and your fellow journalists. I hope you find many willing to come out
Nice work Michael! Thank you for doing this.
Thank you so much for what you do, and I and I hope others are behind you 100%. You are the epitome of speaking truth to power. Interesting tangent on “censorship”, I’m currently staying in a boutique hotel in DC, and the free tv options include all of the cable news channels except Fox. I think that indicates that a lot of folks can’t hear you voice on tv since as far as I know Fox is the only cable channel that you have a voice on. As a former dem social Justice warrior that makes me really sad.
Thank you again for your incredible work. Please keep it up for our nation's sake. I so wish that your work was more widely read by those that need to know!!!! those that only get their news from the MSM or are so turned off that they have tuned out entirely!
GONGOs are here and they are the real threat. Thank you for highlighting this for all of us.
Go get ‘em!

You are doing a terrific job.
I don't work for-- or at-- any of those organizations; however, I see the book banning that is going on in the schools. It's awful to see how many great books are banned down south but here in Los Angeles (where I teach) I see good books that are not actually "banned" but administrators suggest these books "trigger" kids. I'm talking about books like The Help and To Kill a Mockingbird. The censorship of artists and comedians and writers scares me.
I discovered recently that many San Francisco districts are beginning to self-govern and have created special website and resources for their constituents, respectively. We *cannot* trust that our local elections are fair and honest. We just can't. I thought I was being a tin-foil-hat paranoid, but there are so many like me who are enraged with the way this place is being run. We're not allowed to think, nevermind say, that our supervisor is incompetent and has a secret wish to destroy the community. I believe the momentum has started.
Thank you! Shine a bright light on fascist crap! Keep up the great work. I share your posts with everyone, sadly those most in need of edification won’t read them. Too many sheep are happy walking into the slaughter house.
Thank you Michael. You a man for our times. I support you wholeheartedly and have subscribed to your Substack so you have a platform. Go Team
Interesting invitation, but I'm wondering if the people you seek would even be reading here.
Thank you Mr. Schellenberger, and to all those who subscribed to Substack. We are behind you 100%.
As the saying goes in fishing circles, the odds increase dramatically when you drop a line into the water.
You gotta try right?
I hope this wins an Oscar! It made my day.
When requesting information at your encrypted email, you should also request the whistleblower use proton.
I remember my neighbor and other generous people taking in refugees a few years back. Can one offer to be a safe house for someone - a u.s. political refugee- if needed? Probably just blew my cover but the offer stands.
John Roos sat immediately to my right in home room for years. He had lots of dark curly hair then, and he was very funny.
There's still a wonderful, thriving Jazz community here. One of my favorites is the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society. Yoshi's in San Francisco went out of business, but there's the San Francisco Jazz Center in Civic Center to enjoy and Yoshi's in the East Bay. Tons of support for music here, still. We even have local to us programming in Diamond Heights which is quite good -- chamber music. My husband claims the music scene is better than London. Doubt it. The only difference now, between the idyllic days you and I enjoyed, is generally people seem to be very tightly wound and aggressive, far too woke for words. No familial feeling that we experienced growing up here.
We have friends in Seattle but haven't visited in a few years. I know things have really changed there with respect to the homeless situation. Our friends never really share what they experience -- the negative things. So, unless we go back, I can only rely on some of the photographs I see.
Lowell '73. :) Yes, it's like a minefield out here in my beloved San Francisco. I stay close to the Black and ethnic communities these days since they seem to be the only ones left with common sense and reason.
I wasn't really part of the Indians crowd. :( But, I thought they were considered unbeatable. The truth is I don't live on the reputation since there are so, so many people in the world much, much smarter than me. Still, I loved going there. John Roos used to sit next to me in homeroom.
Yes, the Black population is much smaller now, but still deeply affected by crime -- drugs, gangs, prostitution. The reality is no one really cares about them, regardless of the spin and propaganda. Even with the reparations movement, I think they're being set up for failure, not that I believe this would be a healthy thing to do for the City.
Have you seen the proposed "affordable" housing plan for Sloat Boulevard, about two blocks from the ocean? I'm trying to be diplomatic but it's a monstrosity and is definitely not about the "affordable" housing element requirement.
I teach in Compton and Watts and I find it interesting that the families there have zero interest in the Woke agenda that my white liberal friends are so keen on. I'm white but not woke. :-)
I shop at a discount grocery store where about half of the shoppers are black and I think they really like that I, as a white woman, am shopping along with them like regular peeps. That's really what most of us want, don't you think? No, none of the black folks I know are not on the woke bandwagon. In fact, there are three black families on my block and the only person with a BLM sign in her window is Jewish. I can't imagine what those black folks are thinking.
