The library · on paper, in your pocket, off the grid
The Field Manuals.
See the strings — in print.
Three research-backed manuals against the three arenas of manipulation: the people close to you, the scammers hunting you, and the feed engineering you. Every claim sourced to real, published studies — the references are printed in the back of each one. Instant PDF download, yours forever.
No invented statistics · no dark patterns · defense only — we don't teach attack
The Gaslight Field Manual
For the moment you think: “maybe it's me.”
The seven plays run on people who love, trust, or work for someone — gaslighting, love bombing, DARVO, guilt debt, triangulation, hot-and-cold, isolation. What each looks like, why it works on a healthy brain, and the counter — with words you can actually say.
- The 10-second X-Ray: feel the pull → name the play → respond
- “Say this” scripts for home, family, and the workplace
- When it's not manipulation — the honest chapter most guides skip
- 14 published sources, printed in the back
The Unscammable
For you — and for the people you love who answer the phone.
The seven working cons — fake bank, government imposter, AI-voice family emergency, romance & pig-butchering, phishing texts, tech-support takeover, the “sure thing” — decoded play-by-play with FBI and FTC data. Then five protocols, fifteen minutes, and you're a hard target.
- The family safe phrase: the 60-second setup that beats voice cloning
- “Say this — then hang up” scripts for every con
- A no-shame recovery chapter for if you've been hit
- Every dollar figure from FBI/FTC reports, cited
The Psyop Decoder
For everyone who's tired of asking “is this real?”
How influence operations actually work on civilians: why lies outrun truth (70%, measured), how repetition manufactures belief, how crowds get printed, and the six techniques behind nearly all of it. Ends with the 60-second decode — and the sanity clause.
- The Cambridge six: impersonation, emotion, polarization, conspiracy, trolling, discrediting
- Anatomy of an op: seed → launder → amplify → harvest
- Calibration, not cynicism — armor that doesn't make you paranoid
- 12 published sources incl. the largest false-news study ever run
The Defense Library — all three manuals
Home, phone, and feed: the complete set. Fifty-five pages of decoded manipulation with forty published sources between them. This is the paper version of everything the training teaches.
Why trust these?
Sourced
Real studies, printed references
Milgram, Asch, the Cambridge inoculation work, FBI IC3 and FTC data — every claim is cited in the back pages, with links. Find an error and we'll correct it and credit you.
The pledge
No tricks sold here
No countdown timers, no fake scarcity, no “only 3 left.” An anti-manipulation shop that manipulated you would be a bad joke. Prices are what they are, indefinitely.
Defense only
We don't teach attack
“Dark psychology” books sell offense and defense in one cover. These manuals are recognition and response only — armor, not weapons.
Protecting parents or grandparents who won't read a manual? The Scam-Proof Parent Kit — $19 is the fridge-poster-and-wallet-cards version, built for the landline generation. And the training itself — the worlds, The Line, your resistance profile — starts free.
