A Quick Note to Readers: On Method, Meaning, and What Comes Next
A summary report from the front lines of systemic failure.
As I continue my investigative work, finalize a forthcoming book, and push forward with our efforts at the Northern Kentucky Truth & Accountability Project (NKTAP), I want to take a moment to briefly contextualize what we’ve done so far — and what’s ahead.
Over the past several months, I’ve laid out a framework (see: my introduction to this Substack) rooted in constitutional principles, republican social contract theory, foundational psychoanalytic insights, and universal ethical commitments. Through a series of essays and reports since the publication of that initial document, I’ve done the following:
Laid out a concise ethical, legal, and philosophical doctrine for this historical moment, based on longstanding legal and political theory.
Mapped the internal logic and structure of the local criminal regime in Northern Kentucky with verifiable data.
Identified broader state failures in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati.
Connected these patterns to national-level dysfunction.
Provided supporting research on how these failures manifest in rising crime, vigilante justice, youth suicide, and social breakdown — all with predictive accuracy.
Documented potential counterintelligence operations, surveillance, and the psychological dimensions of high-level state repression, while maintaining clear discipline and analytical integrity for future investigators.
Most importantly, we demonstrated a working proof-of-concept for transitional justice: When the local regime failed to produce an indictment, a citizen-led effort did, and with real legal results.
This is no longer just a diagnosis of crisis. It’s an axiomatic demonstration of strategic doctrine. The model we’re building through NKTAP offers the most legally sound, constitutionally grounded pathway to accountability and systemic repair available in our region, and I believe it is scalable and replicable for other local jurisdictions in our nation.
Thank you for walking this path with me. More to come.
