Entry 010 - I've been in hiding, but I think I just found the decryption key for a secret 1958 numbers broadcast

it's been a few days since i last checked in. after i left utah i had to go completely dark. they were close and they knew i knew it.

i’m somewhere new now, using a library computer. i don’t know how long this spot will stay safe.

i haven’t been idle. i’ve been combing through my grandfather’s old signal corps files, and i keep circling back to one intercept that doesn’t make sense at all. a “high-priority” shortwave transmission caught in geneva in 1958.

the recording itself is mostly static, but you can hear the voice. a woman speaking french, reading numbers. i’ve transcribed the first sequence below. (i used google translate for the phrasing, but since it’s just numbers it should be accurate enough)

my grandfather’s notes say these were encrypted with a one-time pad. i don’t know how to work it yet. i’ve been at this for hours but i have to move again soon. i’ll check in when i can.

Entry 001 - my grandfather's files point to a secret US-Soviet alliance during the Cold War. my attempts to share this are being systematically erased by Reddit.

  i'm going to make this one more time. my name is mike mercer. i've been trying to share the contents of my grandfather's (RMC1 Joseph Daniel Mercer) Navy footlocker. every singe time i post, my accounts are deleted, or somehow my comments get deleted by reddit itself, not even by mods. most of the time without a warning or even notification. here is the truth they are trying to hide. my grandfather's logs show that the Cold War was a partial, if not a complete lie. he kept an acronym, "ANTs" (aberrant non-terrestrial signatures), which he described as some like reality-bending phenomena. his primary mission during the Cuban Missile Crisis was tracking one of these ANTs, and his logs state that Soviet ships were "non-hostile, co-tracking." it was a collaboration. he also wrote about "SEF" (secondary exposure fatalities). this isn't radiation sickness. it was a condition from the nuclear fallout that caused people to just fade. like bei...

Entry 002 - operation wigwam was never about subs.

  the official explanation for Operation Wigwam in '55 is one of the most transparent lies of the Cold War. the public story is that the Navy towed a 30-kiloton nuclear depth charge 500 miles off the coast of San Diego to "test its effectiveness against submarines." this is nonsense on its face. they had already conducted multiple shallow underwater tests and amassed a wealth of data. Wigwam was not a test. it was a live-fire mission under the authority of Project ARCHER. My grandfather's logs from the attached sonar vessel, the USS Tawasa, are very explicit. for the 72 hours preceding the detonation, the entire fleet was holding position over a single, stationary sonar contact at a depth of over 12,000 feet. the target was designated ANT-Sierra. It was not a submarine or a geological feature. it was a massive, coherent signature that was passively absorbing all active sonar pings, creating a "deaf spot" on their screens that was miles wide. the depth charge...

Entry 016 - they finally did it. the DG is here.

they finally did it. the posts are being erased. not just comments this time . whole posts, gone. they said it was a “rule violation.” that’s what the message said. but i know better. the dg doesn’t need to silence the truth everywhere. just enough to make people doubt me. doubt what you saw. doubt the truth. if you go looking for what i shared before, you might not find it anymore. whole weeks of work just gone. this will probably be buried here too. but it will be here. for a little while at least . the erasure isn’t just happening in the files. it’s happening right here, in real time. i won’t let it keep happening. i’m setting up something new, just like one of you told me to. a place where their purges can’t reach. once it’s ready, you’ll know.
