It's December 4th 2016 and I'm on the standing rock tribal reservation SUV pulls up and it's Travis Travis is like hop in man hop in and they go and they pull me behind the gas station outside of the casino where no one can see me and they tell me all the

Miami is about to kill me and I need to evacuate standing rock immediately and I think I don't know either one of these people sure we chitchat it we talked online we emailed I don't know either of these people and I thought this is it man I'm these guys are going to kill me these guys are contractors and I said well here's the thing there's like super

natural aspects to it and I'm literally the angel metatron and I'm on earth just to do this thing tomorrow and I don't care who's trying to kill me I'm going to do this ceremony and there's nothing in the world that can stop me.

And so I think back on that moment and I want to know what happened to me what brought me here who were these people and I'm sitting here with Emily Bex who's a journalist that I don't know and we've been connected through a mutual friend who thinks I need to talk out what happened to me and figure out what happened to me.

Thank you Wes and welcome to American Sign Up where we're going to try and help Wes get to the bottom of his story.

So yes I am a journalist I currently write for heavy.com where I cover sports news politics entertainment used to write for the New York Observer and the Hollywood Reporter.

So our mutual friends the producers of this show Jack and Marley first heard your story in June of 2017 they didn't believe you and thought you are simply delusional.

But then on a future project examining the origins of QAnon Jack and Marley said they kept coming across names and situations you had described and decided they wanted to help you sort it out.

They approached me because I had done some reporting on the origins of QAnon myself and because I didn't already know Wes or his story.

Now Wes from what I understand you believe you started becoming the target of psychological operations known as siop starting in the late 90s.

That's correct.
