This book and archive documents the efforts of John Wilson to hold the FBI (and partnering agencies in Australia – ASIS/ASIO) to account following his work as a Wall Street mining analyst on US company Freeport-McMoRan’s activities in West Papua, Indonesia.

The book discloses in detail methods US and Australian security agencies use to undermine human rights and chill civil liberties; and Indigenous rights.

Through letters, Declarations and court documents, Wilson recounts FBI tactics to target “dissidents” that include the use of secret surveillance, cancel culture, and gas lighting – furtive activities that undermines American democracy.

Adding a twist to the tale, and background on the FBI’s secretive programs, John Wilson’s long-term girlfriend at the time was a professional environmentalist and an undercover FBI agent. It was also one of his key relationships the FBI targeted. It’s a chilling account of political retribution as dystopian as any in Kafka.

Note: The book comprises around 50 pages of background and summary narrative in the front, and an extensive archive-appendix in the back (from page 62) that contains supporting documents and records.
