The Guardian — Exclusive Report from U.S. Investigative Journalist Wylie McMahon
I’ve chosen to reach out to British friends and colleagues at The Guardian with my findings as opposed to American news outlets.
I write this from a safe, undisclosed international location, because I believe my country is under quiet, but deep duress.
In August of last year, during Samuel Roan’s rise to power, I was contacted separately by two FBI members with similar information about a cult-like organization called the Order of Mercy, or OM.
I began my own digging. What I found left me more shocked and disturbed than any story of my life.
The Order of Mercy is a huge, underground white nationalist group that has been working for three decades to infiltrate the White House and Congress in an attempt to plant their ideals into American society and amass wealth among their already wealthy members.
OM is a community of “purists” whose center is in Idaho, but it branches out to all other parts of the United States.
A community that has carefully kept its plans under wraps as it gathered more and more money and influence.
According to my sources, more than a third of the current federal government and elected leaders are part of OM, including former President Wright.
As always, I immediately began my investigation by following the money—seeing who gave and who gained during the Wright years.
Three companies stood out: Privy Technology, Norva Energy and AI, and Starlight Intel.
Each company invested millions into Wright’s campaign.
Privy Technology made billions during the stock market crash, buying up small companies and properties.
Starlight Intel received a massive Department of Defense contract.
And Norva Energy and AI signed on in the largest federal contract ever to help build and run the nearly two hundred factories across the southern and middle states.
After major digging, I was able to trace the owners or co-owners of all three companies to current sitting politicians. Perhaps most shocking is Roan’s pick for Vice President, Floyd Walinger, cousin to the CEO of Norva Energy and AI.
Though I have no proof of this, based on this information, my guess is that former President Wright’s primary job from the OM had been to ruin the United States as deeply as possible so that their next implant could lure the country into a sense of trust. Neither of my sources was part of the department that investigated the terrorist attacks of Wright’s term or the academy scandals that turned attention to the LGBTQIA+ communities.
They both declare those cases and files are kept under confidential wraps, but there are whispers of foul play—that things weren’t what they seemed.
I know…you don’t want to hear this, and it’s hard to believe…
I felt the same. But my informants swear President Roan was groomed from childhood to enter politics, establish his cabinet of OMs, and change the face of America.
After some deep digging, I wasn’t able to find a single piece of evidence that Samuel Roan was raised in Arizona, despite an Arizona birth certificate.
I checked every public and private school record in both Arizona and Idaho for his K-12 years.
Nothing. The first mention of Samuel Roan is at Arizona State University, where he attended college before Yale Law School.
I debated whether to break the news of my findings about the Order of Mercy and Roan’s possible involvement now or wait until I had more concrete proof, but things are moving too quickly to hold back.
In fact, I believe the U.S. is in the midst of a secret, fast-moving coup.
I hope that this information can be used by the remaining politicians and federal agents so that truth may prevail.
I hope it is not too late for America to do the right thing.

All Major Networks: Presidential Address from the White House
Fellow Americans, Good Afternoon. I come to you today with a heavy heart and spirit.
It is the worst kind of traitorous bottom-feeder who would attack this administration at a time when we are struggling to rebuild and reconnect after this past year of strife and brokenness.
As I’m sure you noticed, our Federal Communications Commission was quick to shut down and block this disinformation from an American who dared to call himself a journalist. Shame on him and shame on England for allowing one of its sources to publish such vile lies—lies that could cost American lives.
Now is not the time for unwarranted criticism while we are trying to bring peace. I will not allow what we are building to be shattered. If that means using tough love, that is what I’ll do.
It is with no joy that I announce an arrest warrant has been issued for Wylie McMahon after his slanderous, false allegations.
A monetary reward will be given to anyone with information about his whereabouts that leads to an arrest. This is the very definition of libel against an innocent.
I have no idea what could prompt a man to attack another man without cause, but rest assured, he will be investigated until the motive is made clear.
America will not be used as fodder for a man to seek his fifteen minutes of fame.
Please understand that the United States is fragile at the moment, and issues will be handled with as much gentleness as possible.
It is not fair or right for Americans to have to consume such lies—to have to wonder if you have been duped by the leaders who are fighting for you to have better lives.
No, I will not put you through that kind of mental chaos.
Our FCC will monitor news, social media, and radio airwaves to stop the spread of any disinformation.
Please remember that libel is illegal, and those found purposely lying or sharing harmful information will find themselves arrested and slapped with a defamation suit.
This goes for posts on social media. Your First Amendment right of free speech does not cover those who would stoop so low as to spread lies and dangerous hate rhetoric against the government officials you chose to lead this country.
Now is the time for us to uplift one another and our leadership.
To rise out of our former darkness and focus on better lives for ourselves and our children.
Oh, and for those who need proof of my childhood in Arizona, just ask my mother, who homeschooled me.
She’s always happy to share those embarrassing baby photos!
God bless and be safe.

Rage of the Ages Podcast with Former Hairband Mates, Ian Podansky and Rex Leifman
Ian: I don’t know, man…did you read any of that article before it got taken down?
Rex: No, but I got the gist of it. Did you?
Ian: Yeah, I read it. He said Roan, and a third of the government, is in fucking cult. I’m not gonna lie; I was trippin’ after I read it. Gave me chills. He sounded scared.
Rex: A cult? Like a sex cult?
Ian: No, you freak. It sounded like a religious, racist cult.
Rex: How can you be religious and racist?
Ian: Facts, bro! Make it make sense!
Rex: What did you think of Roan’s speech yesterday? And is it just me, or is it fucking whack that they’re, like, censoring people on social media? People are afraid to even talk about it.
Ian: I guess I get that lying is dangerous and shitty, but it’s an issue of free speech.
I don’t think they usually arrest people for libel; they just sue them, but maybe since it’s the president, it’s more threatening?
I don’t know. Like I said, I’m freaked out by it.
Roan was giving off some vibes I never felt from him.
It’s like he was saying don’t you dare question me. Like he was a little tyrant up there.
Rex: Little, haha. Isn’t he short as fuck? Like 5’9?
Ian: Bro, I’m 5’9! That’s average. I heard Roan is 5’2.
Rex: That’s fucking tiny! Jacked or not.
Ian: Tiny Tyrant.
Rex: Hell, yeah! Tiny Tyrant! Fuck, man, are we gonna get arrested for this? *joined laughter*
Ian: My girlfriend says Roan gives off big dick energy. *Speaks over Rex’s laughter* Seriously, what is up with all these politicians? That one governor, Fitzhugh, my girlfriend fuckin’ locks in when he’s on screen talking about boring shit!
Rex: *looks at phone* I’m getting a news alert… holy shit. Listen to this! Investigative journalist Wylie McMahon was shot to death at a hotel in Prague. International police found no evidence of foul play. His death has been deemed self-inflicted.
Ian: No fucking way. That’s shady as fuck. I don’t even know what to say.
Rex: Well, that’s a first!
