I may come to regret this, but I have increasingly little to lose:
I am a US federal employee, and have been for decades.
No, I am not a psyop.
Yes, I really am an anarchist and have expressed my honest opinions here.
No, I am not proud of my work. Fortunately, it is very much a Bullshit Job and I do not believe I have caused harm or benefit.
Yes, I recognize the irony.
I joined as someone with radical inclinations but without a political home and a naive belief that I could do good through power. The intervening years have corrected that mistaken belief.
I am an anarchist in large part because of my involvement with and knowledge of state power. I have kept myself anonymous not to deceive anyone here, but to protect my family.
I very much wear golden handcuffs. This job is, right now, the source of my visa that keeps my family outside of the US. But whatever security I imagined I had had evaporated in the last few weeks. I don’t know if I’ll have a job, much less a visa or even a department, next week.

I’m still the same person. These are still my same thoughts and beliefs.

I have:
- education in international relations and security policy,
- research and analytical skills,
- extensive knowledge of US policy making, and
- some pretty wild and diverse work experience.
I have briefed in the White House, carried a gun and been routinely rocketed in a war zone, and fact checked presidential speeches.
Anyone hiring?
