🔍 How to Investigate Your Government: Researching Security Institutions & Their Contractors

Interested in learning public records techniques for exposing the relationships between corporations and Western security agencies?

Investigative journalist Jack Poulson will provide an overview of U.S. federal procurement analysis methodology which led the Pentagon to confirm deleting $200 million in artificial intelligence-based surveillance contracts from public record. High-level overviews will also be provided for analyzing government contracts across the Five Eyes, EU, and Israel, and how to curate your own mirror to such records for possible integration with Form 990 tax filings, lobbying filings, campaign contributions, and open source research, as the author has done through techinquiry.org.
