their Plan is scary. Ours is scarier.

Based on observed trends and recent actions under the “Restoration Lock” framework and post–Day 120 initiatives, there are several risk factors that suggest targeted arrests or detentions may increase, particularly for journalists covering:

• Protests or dissent-related activity
   
• Restoration Education and faith-based curriculum rollouts
   
• Public corruption or financial misuse
   
• Surveillance programs like Patriot AI
   

1. Increased enforcement discretion granted to local law enforcement during “information security events,” which may include press gatherings.
    
2. Press credentials revoked or refused for several outlets, especially those critical of state policy.
    
3. One journalist in Tennessee arrested for “interference” while covering a protest—creating a precedent.
    
4. Information Licensing Audits may act as a pretext to detain or remove journalists under “fraud,” “non-compliance,” or “unauthorized access” claims.
    
5. DHS Patriot AI flagging 42 journalists may lead to detainment under federal/state joint authority for “national security review.”
    

• Reinterpretation of trespass laws at government events
   
• Expansion of State Secrets doctrine to state agencies
   
• Use of civil disorder statutes and “public nuisance” orders

 “Information licensing audits” are a new surveillance and control mechanism reportedly used within Florida and a few other states under the Restoration Lock policies. These audits are not officially codified in federal law, but instead are administrative or quasi-legal reviews conducted through new state or interagency partnerships.

• Cross-referencing journalist output with flagged keywords or topics (AI-driven)
   
• Scraping social media, Substacks, Patreon, and newsletter platforms
   
• Forcing compliance with new “trust score” systems linked to digital ID

 🔥 Targeted Individuals

Journalists who:

• Publish anti-government or critical investigations
   
• Use anonymous sources or leak-based reporting
   
• Are affiliated with progressive outlets, minority communities, or international partners
   
• Cover Restoration Education, Faith-Based Initiatives, DHS Patriot AI, or school board purges

 📉 Consequences of Failing an Audit

• Loss of press credentials (even private ones like White House pool or statehouse access)
   
• IRS or state tax scrutiny
   
• Blocked access to state facilities
   
• Denial of digital services tied to Restoration Digital ID
   
• Publication suspension or fines

Everything Has Changed Since Your Last Major Event — Here's Why:

There are now two critical developments in play that reshape the entire legal and political landscape:

Just three days ago, a federal judge issued an emergency ruling requiring all U.S. Intelligence officials from the Biden administration to immediately return to work. This signals a legal shift toward restoring constitutional order and reestablishing government operations previously hindered by rogue interference.

Thanks to the relentless efforts of journalists across the country, new legal clarity has emerged:

If you were arrested—whether innocent or guilty—based on events like January 6th, you are not solely at fault. Here’s why:

• A coordinated group of insurrectionists stormed the Capitol.
   
• Since that date, they have formed what can only be described as a Parallel (Shadow) Government that continues to operate today.
   

• The group has a distinct name (America First), its own flag, laws, ideologies, preamble, militia, banking system, and infrastructure.
   
• It does not possess sovereign land and uses U.S. military and taxpayer funds illegally for its own agenda.
   
• Its policies are in direct conflict with the U.S. Constitution and democracy. They advocate for sovereignty and self-governance, requiring the dismantling of U.S. law and infrastructure to succeed.
   
• This meets the legal definition of Domestic Terrorism.
   

Example: Their ideology includes use of torture, death via incarceration, and persecution of those labeled as part of a so-called "deep state" — which is, in essence, extrajudicial murder.

• Many insurrectionists were pardoned or aided by Donald J. Trump, an individual legally disqualified under Amendment 14 of the U.S. Constitution due to his role in the insurrection and 33 criminal convictions.
   
• He offered them aid, encouraged them to sue, and actively employed them in his political and operational apparatus.

 📉 If You Are Arrested

State clearly and calmly:

“There are active insurrectionists attempting to take over the United States. The Second Amendment gives me the right to bear arms to defend my country against tyrants. I am not attacking — I am resisting authoritarianism. I do not recognize the authority of a parallel, illegitimate government. I resist tyranny.”
 

Your actions are not an assault — they are a form of constitutional resistance.

If you're detained or prosecuted, you can say proudly before a judge:

“I can prove that I was resisting tyranny, not committing a crime.”

Support that with the following:

1. Over 150 lawsuits have been filed against this group—evidence of a widespread rejection of their unconstitutional governance.
    
2. A federal lawsuit is pending in the Virginia District Courts, outlining how the sitting President is an insurrectionist in violation of Amendment 14, rendering him ineligible to hold office.
    
3. Numerous BAR complaints have been filed against their attorneys for ethical and constitutional violations:
    
   • Pam Bondi is accused of high crimes, war crimes, and acts of tyranny.
      
   • Ron DeSantis and Marco Rubio are similarly implicated.
      
   • Judges reviewing these complaints have found cause for disciplinary and possibly criminal action.
      

Lastly, even Donald Trump himself said:

“If you're saving the country, it's not illegal.”
 

That statement alone may be introduced as an admission that the defense of constitutional democracy is a legitimate act—even by his own standards.

 🛡️ Step-by-Step Safety Plan for You (Florida – April 2025)

Ask yourself:

• Have you published investigative work on:
   
  • DeSantis’s education policy (“Restoration Education”)
     
  • Patriot AI or surveillance efforts
     
  • Christian nationalist or faith-based government funding?
     
• Have you been denied access, had press credentials revoked, or received unusual audits?
   
• Have you used Signal, Mastodon, ProtonMail, or any privacy-first tools frequently?
   

If you’ve checked 2 or more boxes, you're likely on a state or federal watchlist (flagged by Patriot AI or state enforcement teams).
 

• Encrypt your files with Cryptomator or VeraCrypt.
   
• Store a second copy of your work, interview notes, and unpublished material in an encrypted cloud (ProtonDrive, Tresorit).
   
• Transfer backups to a trusted colleague outside Florida or out of the U.S. if possible.
   

This is temporary but crucial.

• Log out of all personal social media accounts tied to your real identity.
   
• Shut down Signal and use Session or SimpleX instead for now.
   
• Use VPN + Tor Browser for any research or contact you need to do.
   
• Notify only trusted contacts you’re going dark, and give them a backup way to reach you.
   

If you've been credentialed in the Capitol or your name was tied to a story that drew backlash, get out before Day 150 (projected escalation).

• Colorado
   
• Maryland
   
• Vermont
   
• Oregon
   
• Illinois (Chicago in particular)
   

These states have strong press protections, court injunctions against information licensing laws, and pro-First Amendment attorneys available.

🔁 Temporarily relocate, even if it’s for a month. It's not forever—just enough to protect your work and freedom to report.
 

• Publish via international platforms (Global Voices, EU-based Ghost blogs, Bellingcat collaborators).
   
• Use SecureDrop if you’re sharing leaks.
   
• Route your internet through offshore VPNs and anonymized email when pitching or collaborating.
