How Ghost Index Verifies What It Publishes
Ghost Index does not publish rumors. Every claim we release is supported by records, correspondence, or direct witnesses. The goal isn’t belief, it’s verification.
We treat documents as primary evidence. Screenshots, memos, and internal emails are preserved in their original form. Metadata is checked, timestamps are confirmed, and context is logged before a story is drafted. Nothing is altered for tone or clarity. Redactions only protect private individuals, never institutions.
Anonymous submissions are accepted but not trusted blindly. We corroborate them through cross-referencing with other records, timelines, or matching patterns in institutional behavior. A single source opens a lead; it never closes a case
Ghost Index operates outside traditional journalism but follows stricter proof. We are not here to balance both sides. We are here to establish what is true and record how official systems fail to admit it.
If an error is found, it is corrected publicly and permanently. Transparency is not a slogan here. It is the only defense against the decay we expose.
Ghost Index exists to document, verify, and preserve the record. The institutions we cover can delete files, deny context, or rewrite history. We keep the originals. Once these records hit the internet, the trail is written, permanent, public, undeniable.
