About this project

What is this,
exactly?

The Follow-Up tracks major stories — domestic and international — where the US, American citizens, or US entities are directly involved. Stories that received sustained mainstream coverage, then disappeared before they were resolved.

This is not a conspiracy site. Every story is grounded in documented facts and credible reporting. We make no claims about who is responsible. We simply track what happens next.

  • 01Every story is sourced from credible mainstream journalism and official documents
  • 02No speculation, no conspiracy — only facts and documented accountability gaps
  • 03Status updates only when credible new information emerges from reliable sources
  • 04A story is Resolved only when there's a verified, official conclusion

Why does
this matter?

The news cycle is zero-sum. When a new crisis emerges, coverage of the previous one collapses — regardless of whether it was ever explained. Explosions go unclaimed. Assassinations go unprosecuted. Crises go unstudied.

This creates structural amnesia around major events. The stories didn't resolve — they just stopped being covered. The absence of resolution is itself a kind of story.
