HOW TO VERIFY LEAKED DOCUMENTS
One question I get constantly: "How do we know these documents are real?" Fair question. Here's how you verify them yourself.
THE AUTHORITY'S DOCUMENT NUMBERING SYSTEM
Every official Authority document has a unique serial number following this format:
FORMAT: [DEPT]-[YEAR]-[DATE]-[CATEGORY]
EXAMPLE: DBM-2057-1012-INFOSEC
- DBM = Director/Board Memorandum
- 2057 = Year issued
- 1012 = October 12 (MMDD format)
- INFOSEC = Category (Information Security)
Common Department Codes:
- DBM - Director/Board Memoranda
- BDM - Border/Checkpoint Directive Memoranda
- IA - Internal Affairs
- OPS - Operations
- HR - Human Resources
- TECH - Technical Services
- MED - Media/Communications
VERIFICATION METHODS
1. Cross-Reference with Authority Systems (For Insiders)
If you work for the Authority, you can verify document serial numbers in your own internal systems:
- Search the document ID in your classified database
- Compare classification levels (they should match)
- Check distribution lists (who received the memo)
- Verify signatures and approval chains
2. Check Metadata and Formatting
Real Authority documents follow strict formatting standards:
- Headers: Always include TO/FROM/RE/DATE/CLASSIFICATION
- Classification markings: TOP SECRET, LEVEL 7, RESTRICTED, etc.
- Page numbers: Format "Page X of Y" in footer
- Watermarks: Digital docs have embedded Authority seal watermarks
- Font: Official documents use Times New Roman 12pt
3. Corroborate with Other Evidence
Real leaks rarely stand alone. Look for:
- Multiple sources: Do other whistleblowers mention the same events?
- Timeline consistency: Do dates align with known events?
- Personnel verification: Are the named officials real people in those positions?
- Cross-references: Does the document reference other known files?
4. Challenge the Content
Don't just believe everything. Ask:
- Does this align with Authority behavior patterns?
- Is the language consistent with official communications?
- Are there verifiable facts you can check independently?
- Does the leak explain previously unexplained events?
RED FLAGS FOR FAKE DOCUMENTS
The Authority sometimes plants fake leaks to discredit resistance sites. Watch for:
- Too convenient: Makes Authority look cartoonishly evil
- Wrong formatting: Doesn't match official document standards
- Unverifiable claims: Can't be cross-checked with any other evidence
- Suspicious timing: Appears right after a major leak to muddy waters
- No document ID: Real Authority docs ALWAYS have serial numbers
SPECIFIC EXAMPLES FROM THIS SITE
Example 1: The Continuity Memo (2029)
Document ID: DBM-2029-0815-CONT
Verification:
- Serial number matches Authority format for pre-Collapse corporate memos
- Three separate whistleblowers confirmed seeing this in classified archives
- Named executives (Thorne, Kovac, Reyes) match known corporate leadership 2029
- Timeline (August 2029) is 3 years before Collapse - proves premeditation
Example 2: North Ribbon Deployment Order
Document ID: BDM-2052-0316-NR
Verification:
- Date (March 16, 2052) matches known North Ribbon incident timeline
- Isabella Jean's signature confirmed by handwriting analysis
- Survivor testimony corroborates deployment of lethal force authorization
- Authority never disputed document existence - only claimed it was "classified"
HOW I VET SUBMISSIONS
When someone sends me a leak, I:
- Verify the source: Establish credibility through secure channels
- Check the document: Format, metadata, serial numbers
- Seek corroboration: Do I have other evidence supporting this?
- Test with insiders: Can Authority employees confirm in their systems?
- Wait if uncertain: Better to delay than publish fake material
FOR AUTHORITY EMPLOYEES READING THIS
You can verify every document on this site yourself. Here's how:
- Note the document serial number from any page on this site
- Search it in your internal classified database
- Compare the content
- Ask yourself: Why do they claim this doesn't exist when it's in YOUR OWN SYSTEMS?
CHALLENGE TO THE AUTHORITY
If any document on this site is fabricated, prove it. Release the "real" version. Hold a press conference. Show evidence of forgery.
You won't. Because you can't. Because every word is true.
