Prima le prove,
poi le conclusioni

38 reportage di interesse pubblico sui sistemi che collegano archivi, determinano che cosa sia rintracciabile e decidono cose su persone a cui non è mai stato detto nulla. Le affermazioni sono graduate in base a ciò che è effettivamente documentabile - verificato, dichiarato dalla fonte stessa, oppure riportato ma non confermato - e le correzioni vengono pubblicate, non inserite in silenzio. I saggi stanno altrove, sotto Scritti. Scritti →

The Investigations

A standing body of public-interest, source-verified investigations: the data state (Splink, Palantir, ICE, the City of London) and the influence machine (the Brad Parscale / foreign-government AI-influence investigation).

Public-Interest Investigation · Index · June 2026

Splink: A UK Data Linkage Investigation

A 5-part independent investigation into Splink, the UK government's record-linkage tool: who uses it, how it works, the law, and what it means for you.

Investigation · Index · June 2026

The Parscale Investigation

A standing, source-verified investigation into Brad Parscale: the FARA-registered Israeli AI-influence operation, the Latin American election machine, the complete 2011-2026 information-operations record, and a free media kit.

Record linkage e lo Stato interconnesso

Splink, il motore di record linkage del Ministero della Giustizia britannico, e i governi che collegano in silenzio gli archivi dei cittadini senza un identificativo condiviso.

Public-Interest Investigation · Splink · CONFIRMED · NEW · 10 September 2026

The Ministry of Justice Links Justice Records Without Knowing the Error Rate

A Ministry of Justice internal review confirms it: the Core Person Record links court, prison and probation records automatically across more than a million people, with no measured false-positive rate, no measured false-negative rate, and no independently verified ground-truth dataset. Records at or above the joining threshold are linked with no human review. The DPIA records zero risks and a residual-risk score of 0.0.

Public-Interest Investigation · Splink · NEW · 10 September 2026

Who Runs Splink

The governments and agencies that run the UK Ministry of Justice’s record-linkage engine, and exactly what each one links — five national statistics offices, the UK justice/health/education/trade cluster, a foreign health ministry, a US state, the US military. Graded verified vs self-reported, with the UNHCR and EMA claims removed for failing first-party checks.

Nobody Is Counting

Three governments — the UK, Australia and Germany — use the same record-linkage library, Splink, to decide when two records are the same person. I asked each how often it gets that wrong. All three declined to give a number, and the differences between the three refusals are the story. The UK confirmed it holds the error rates, then cited section 21 and pointed to a code repository that cannot contain them.

The Splink Exposure Map: Germany, the UK, and Australia

The three-country core of the Splink exposure map, held to what the documents prove. The UK is the sharpest case anywhere — the one place the tool crossed from statistics into live court operations. Australia is close behind and expanding. And Germany just moved: an FOI request to Destatis, filed and formally acknowledged under case A31_210-26, with the answer now forced onto the record instead of a maintainer’s logo-wall.

The One Percent Problem: What Happens When Splink Gets It Wrong

Splink links justice, health, welfare and tax records with no shared ID. Every method has a false-match rate. Here is what that rate costs the person on the wrong side of it.

Investigation · Data & Civil Liberties · June 2026

The Quiet Joining-Up

An independent investigation into Splink, the MoJ tool quietly linking citizens' justice, health and tax records across government - lawfully, undisclosed.

Public-Interest Investigation · How It Works · Visual · June 2026

How Splink Works: No Hack, No Consent, No Opt-Out

The whole machine in one picture: separate health, tax, justice, benefits and census records — with no shared ID — matched by MoJ-built software into one profile of you. Not a hack. No consent required. No opt-out. The short, visual version of the series.

Public-Interest Investigation · Global Footprint · Latest · June 2026

Who Actually Uses Splink — And What They Do With Your Records

Fourteen government adopters, each profiled to UK depth and adversarially fact-checked. The honest answer is narrower than the maintainer's logo-wall: 3 proven operational (UK MoJ, ONS, Australia), a self-reported middle tier (some of it wrong), pilots and research — and confirmed cases where Splink was tested and rejected. Tiered by what can actually be proven.

Public-Interest Investigation · Follow-up · June 2026

Statistics or Operations? What the UK's Own Documents Admit

The MoJ says Data First is "not for operational decision-making." A separate transparency record describes the same tool — Splink — running in courts, in real time, with a daily feed to the police. The line they drew, and where they stepped over it.

Public-Interest Investigation · Legal Exposure · Latest · June 2026

Ruled Unlawful Next Door: What Has Actually Been Adjudicated

No court has ruled Data First, Splink, ONS IDS or ADR UK unlawful — and I say so plainly. But the same shortcut, keeping citizens' data-protection safeguards in policy instead of law, has been struck down by the courts three times running. Tier-graded, primary-sourced, with slides. Where the line is, and the line I will not cross.

Public-Interest Investigation · The Software Map · Latest · June 2026

The Splink Ecosystem: Every App Tied to the Tool

The supply-chain map: every app, library, backend and government system genuinely tied to Splink — and, fenced off, the rivals that aren't. 75 items, tiered and sourced. Broad reach (~890k downloads/month) but narrow real dependency, concentrated in UK government — and GitHub's "110 dependents" turns out to be inflated.

Public-Interest Investigation · The Close · Latest · June 2026

The Joined-Up State: What It All Adds Up To

The capstone. Eight investigations in one verdict: two layers of citizen-data linkage (open-source statistical Splink + US-owned operational Palantir), what the courts have actually ruled — tiered honestly — and what a citizen, a journalist or a regulator can do about it. The line held all the way through.

Public-Interest Investigation · The Capstone · June 2026

The Whole Picture: What It All Adds Up To

The capstone of a 2026 investigation: how the data state (Splink, Palantir, ICE, the City of London) and the influence machine (Parscale, the Israel FARA apparatus, the First Wave of AI-influence) share one pattern - oversight switched off - and what is, and isn't, connected.

Palantir

Il gemello operativo dello Stato statistico, e dove è stato venduto.

Public-Interest Investigation · Palantir Companion · Latest · June 2026

The Operational Twin: Palantir and the Joined-Up British State

Palantir does not run Splink — but it is the US-owned operational layer in the same NHS, MoD, Home Office and police systems Splink links statistically. Eight connection vectors, tiered by what can be proven, with an animated department-by-department map. Where Splink counts, Palantir acts.

Public-Interest Investigation · Palantir Worldwide · Latest · June 2026

The Operational Twin Goes Global: Palantir Across Every Country That Runs Splink

Does the pattern travel? Palantir mapped across all ten Splink countries, tiered and adversarially verified. The US dominant and operational; Germany's Constitutional Court ruled the Palantir-run police system unconstitutional — and named it; Chile, the Gambia and Laos clean negatives. Same states, two ends of data-linkage — the high-risk, foreign-owned end bought with far less transparency.

Public-Interest Investigation · Palantir Worldwide · The Full Catalog · NEW · June 2026

Palantir: The Global Footprint

The widest piece of the series: where Palantir actually operates across the whole world — and where it has been stopped. A 16-sector, source-verified catalog, every line tiered confirmed / reported / alleged. The confirmed scale ($10bn US Army, $1.3bn Maven, £330m NHS) set against the pushback rarely told together — Germany's Constitutional Court, the blocked Met deal, France's exit, ~€825m in divestments. ~290 cited URLs liveness-checked; no fabricated sources; the Gaza and "mega-database" allegations kept labelled, not asserted.

The US Database: How ICE Joins Up Records to Find People

How ICE joins immigration, driver-licence, utility and commercial broker records into a single searchable picture of a person — assembled entirely from public records, contract documents and the DHS Inspector General’s own findings.

Investigation · Governance & Data-Linkage · June 2026

The City of London: Unaccountable by Design

The Corporation runs its own police force, its own lobbyist inside Parliament and a separate business franchise, while the national fraud-reporting service it operates is delivered by outside vendors. Graded verified vs reported-not-confirmed throughout.

Register to Vote, Reported to X

VoteSafe, a US voter-registration site, sends the email address and phone number a person enters straight to Twitter’s advertising system as a “register-submit” conversion event — SHA-256 hashed, which is a join key, not a disguise. Name, date of birth and address were not seen leaving; the email and phone to X are the clean, reproduced finding. Tested twice with fabricated data.

Investigation · Foreign Agents & AI Influence · NEW · June 2026

I Went Looking for Brad Parscale in the Surveillance Stack. He's Working for Israel.

Trump's former campaign manager is a registered foreign agent for the State of Israel (FARA #7649, via Havas Media) — running an AI-influence operation built, in its own filing, to bend what ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok tell you. Documented from the sworn filing, adversarially verified against the primary FARA record. And the honest negative up front: no tie to Palantir at all.

Investigation · The Complete Record · NEW · June 2026

Brad Parscale: The Machine, Not the Mastermind

The exhaustive pull — twenty years of information operations, 2011–2026, tiered confirmed/reported/alleged and classified disinformation / manipulative-but-legal / aggressive-legitimate / mythology. Project Alamo, the 2020 doctored ads, Campaign Nucleus, the foreign-election work with a documented disinformation operator, and the FARA Israel AI apparatus — with the legend (Stop the Steal, the Cambridge Analytica myth) corrected just as plainly. A classified career timeline up top.

The Machine Goes South: Parscale, Numen & the Latin American Election Operation

One Buenos Aires consultancy behind a string of right-wing wins — Milei (Argentina), Paz (Bolivia), Asfura (Honduras). The role-split is the story: Brad Parscale built the data-targeting machine; Argentine operative Fernando Cerimedo — with a documented disinformation record — drives it. Every claim tiered, with the honest boundary: in no country is the disinformation forensically tied to Parscale. The export of the American campaign machine into fragile democracies.

Investigation · Foreign Elections · NEW · September 2026

The Man in Palmasola: What Brad Parscale Actually Has to Do With Bolivia

Fernando Cerimedo ran Rodrigo Paz’s digital campaign, then worked inside his government without a contract — drafting decrees, carrying a card that called him the president’s principal adviser. He is now in a Bolivian prison facing an attempted-femicide accusation and an illicit-enrichment charge, having told a court he earns a million dollars a month. His business partner is Donald Trump’s former campaign manager. What is documented, what is not, and the four claims now circulating that do not survive checking.

Investigation · Foreign Agents · Legal-Exposure Analysis · NEW · July 2026

Parscale & FARA #7649: The Open Questions

The disciplined legal read of the Clock Tower X filings. The honest finding: on the public record it is largely FARA-compliant — so no crime is alleged. What remains are three genuine open questions (the August-vs-September agreement date, a sworn “written contract” left unsigned and undated, and the corrected dual-principal deficiency) plus the story that needs no crime: $15M of foreign money, a Gen-Z content machine, and a stated intent to shape AI answers — all from the sworn filings.

Investigation · Foreign Influence · UK Companion · NEW · July 2026

The Other Theatre: Israeli State Influence in Britain

Companion to the Parscale file. No evidence Parscale operated in Britain — but the same state runs influence operations here too: the 2017 Shai Masot affair, closed by the Foreign Office with an apology and no inquiry. Plus the machine’s Brexit-era origin (SCL/Cambridge Analytica/AggregateIQ) and the regulatory gap that lets it vanish — the UK’s FIRS reserves its enhanced tier for Iran and Russia. Tiered, primary-sourced, with a one-page briefing for Parliament.

Investigation · The AI-Influence Beat · June 2026

The First Wave: How States Started Buying AI-Output Shaping

Governments have begun paying to manipulate what AI chatbots say. Israel's FARA-registered Parscale contract is the first disclosed case; Russia's Pravda network the only state peer; a GEO industry and settled poisoning science enable it - while AI platforms stay silent. Tiered, sourced, with the effectiveness dispute in full.

Everything Leads to Google

The one piece that ties the whole site together. The cipher, the five-node mesh, the nine-part surveillance series, the Parscale/FARA influence files, the Mullvad pile-on trilogy — every investigation here, launched years apart for different reasons, terminates at the same company. Convergence, not conspiracy: the single institution that decides what's findable, and therefore what's real.

The Pile-On: A Mullvad Investigation

The one-link version. A Mullvad co-founder really did fund the far right — I traced what the internet did with it. The pile-on economy, the conspiracy that wasn't, and the @seo_anomaly network (125 domains, ~20,000 spam links) fully documented with a downloadable disavow list. Three parts and the receipts.

Investigation · Dossier · NEW · July 2026

The @seo_anomaly Network — Evidence & Disavow File

The receipts drop for the trilogy. Two hub domains, ~125 compromised feeder sites, ~20,000 spam links — the one genuinely coordinated network under the Mullvad pile-on, documented with registrar/DNS/Semrush evidence, plus a ready-to-file 125-domain Google disavow list to download. The feeders are hacked victims, not operators.

Investigation · SEO Forensics · NEW · July 2026

The Pile-On Economy

A Mullvad co-founder really did fund the far right — true, and cleanly reported. Then the pile-on economy arrived: a black-hat link vendor (@seo_anomaly) spraying ~20,000 spam links across 150 throwaway domains, a 912,000 backlink count that's really 13,000, affiliate farms harvesting the switching intent, a competitor mugging for reach. How a true story becomes raw material — from someone who built the commercial version of the machine.

Investigation · SEO Forensics · NEW · July 2026

The Conspiracy That Wasn't

Companion to The Pile-On Economy. I traced every actor around Mullvad's bad week looking for coordination — and found one real black-hat PBN (generic, running since Oct 2025, indifferent to Mullvad) plus a crowd of independent affiliate scavengers on separate infrastructure who never coordinated anything. I even killed my own smoking-gun lead. No head to cut off. On the discipline of losing a conspiracy.

The Cicada That Sells You a Hoodie

A page called “Cicada 6601” is circulating as if Anonymous posted it. Anonymous didn’t. On the two provenance tests it fails, why “referenced by Anonymous” is a laundering phrase, and why the attribution matters more than the cipher.

How a former affiliate marketer with a rhetoric degree ended up publishing surveillance dossiers. The marketing stack and the surveillance state are the same tool pointed at different targets — I just spent a long time on the wrong side of the lens. Evidence-first, and why I keep the thread close.
