What is VeilWatch?

From the About Page:

VeilWatch is a multi-national organization dedicated to freedom and the accountability of Veilcorp. It was founded by Tim Durney in 2035.

Veil watch specializes in obtaining, analyzing, and disseminating documents and materials pertaining to government collusion and the illegal activities of Veilcorp. To date we have released over 4 million documents and reports.

We have secure lines of communication to hundreds of media companies around the world and thousands of vetted private citizens. This distributed approach has let VeilWatch stand up to the legal and political pressures that other such groups have not.

We are funded by private donations and have a flawless security record in regards to individual privacy and anonymity.

It is our mission to peel back the curtain on Veilcorp crimes and shine a light on the government corruption that has allowed its cancerous growth. We have a long way to go, but we believe the best weapon against tyranny is knowledge and transparency.

Leaked Email Exposes Gruesome Tests and Dangers of Veiled Food

subject: FDA Approval and Taste Tests

We have ran into a potential stumbling block with our FDA approval. I just wanted to touch base with you to discuss the situation and let you know how I think we should handle it.

As I’m sure you know we are on the verge of securing FDA approval to veil foodstuffs. We’ve completed all the necessary testing and have passed the first round of inspections. Most of the paperwork is done and we are just adding supplemental reports currently. We have shown that consumables can be safely transported through the veil with no adverse effects. As expected, veiled food is completely indistinguishable from food that has not been transported, at least as far as anything the FDA is concerned with goes. The question we have been trying to answer, and the point of this email, is whether or not it tastes different.

The issue came up when the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) expressed concerns that any live animals might be tainted during the travel process, and had some reservations about transporting fish and poultry in particular. To allay their concerns, we assembled a taste testing panel of culinary experts and fed them veiled items and non-veiled items. That’s where we ran into some trouble. We aren’t exactly sure what is going on but about 25% of the tasters could note a difference between an animal that was transported while living, and one that was not.

Our experiments showed that this unexpected side effect was true of fish and many types of fowl but most pronounced in geese. Almost a third of our experts could accurately determine if a goose had been veiled alive before it was prepared. To rule out differences in flavor between individuals, we began to remove a single wing before transmission and then the remaining wing after the animal completed its journey. The results ended up being the same. The wings of living geese tasted different after they had gone through the veil. It is important to note that the experts didn’t say that they flavor was bad, just different. One expert said of the wing plates, “This is really grisly but delicious.”

The same turned out to be true of legs and thighs. Despite our best efforts and some remarkable medical interventions, we were unable to keep a goose alive long enough after removing testable portions of the breast. Nonetheless, we have no reason to believe that the outcome would have been any different. We experimented with a number of sauces and rubs with no measurable change. We briefly discussed the possibility that the cooking process might have something to do with the issue and began to explore ways we could eat portions straight off the bird. At this point in the experiments some of our tasters became noticeably upset and voiced concerns about the well-being of the animals being prepared for them. Feeling that we had already collected enough data and not wanting to ruffle any more feathers, we thanked them for their time and ended for the day.

We aren’t sure what could be causing the issue but it appears that living tissue is absorbing some substance during the travel process that non-living tissue does not. Our best guess is that those able to taste a difference have an increase in fungiform papilae, making them what is commonly known as a “super taster.” These individuals are much more sensitive to flavors and represent about 25% of the population, a number that correlates to our findings. We plan on starting a new round of tests to determine if marinade baths or the removal of feathers prior to transmission will fix the issue.

The good news is that the FDA doesn’t oversee how a food tastes, only it’s safety. As far as we know, whatever is going on with the living animals is not going on with any other foodstuffs. If we’re careful about our claims and keep these findings quiet until we know more, we should still hit our goals on the current timeline. I’ve already verified that all of our testers signed their NDA’s. Hopefully our parts and pieces platters didn’t leave a bad taste in their mouths and they’ll honor their agreements. I’m sure whatever is going on isn’t anything serious and we’ll figure it out soon.

VeilCorp Lab Vandalized, Animals Stolen

subject: I Need These Rats Gone

Hi Robert

Let me start off by saying how proud I am to be able to help you with the work that you do. We both know how important it is and how we need people like you who are willing to get their hands dirty. I hope you know that you can count on me to do whatever it is I can to further the cause. I’ve always been willing to take in any animals that you’ve brought me. I agreed to take in the monkeys from your last operation even though I’m not setup to handle exotics. I’m here for you and you can count on me, but I can’t have these rats here.

I understand why you’re working with VeilWatch, I really do. VeilCorp is destroying the planet and Gaia Guard has always been about defending our mother and all of her children. If VeilWatch is working other angles to bring down the giant so be it. We can use all the help we can get, but something really bad must have been going on at the lab you just liberated.

I can’t explain it, but I had a bad feeling as soon as you brought them in. After you left, I put them in the small animal room and all the other animals started acting funny. My dogs wouldn’t even go in and they love coming in to see the new guests. After I set them down, they all lined up and just stared at me. I brought them food and they wouldn’t eat. They didn’t explore their cage. They just sat there in a row looking at me wherever I went in the room. I’m not sure if it was their weird behavior or that both Izzy and Enzo were crying at the doorway, but I got really frightened. I chalked it up to the fact that I was harboring the most wanted rats in Washington but now I think I was wrong.

A few hours later I was trying to go to bed when I started hearing music coming from the other side of the house. I thought maybe I left a window open but then I heard a thumping noise and my cat Pixel cry out. I got up and ran towards the back of the house but not before hearing another thump and Pixel scream.

The first thing I noticed was that the door to the rat cage was open. None of the rats were gone though. They were just lined up like before, facing the aquarium rack. I saw that the stereo had been turned on and walked over to shut it off when something went flying past my head. It was Pixel. She landed with a crash and let out a wail. As I bent over to pick her up, she ran past me and climbed up to the top of the aquarium rack again. She stood up there for a few seconds staring down. I turned to see what she was looking at and saw that it was the rats. They were staring up at her, all lined up. I turned back just in time to see her throw herself off the top.

I tried to pick her up but she clawed at me and started to climb again. I grabbed a towel and finally wrapped her up. I shut off the stereo and ran out of the room while the rats watched us. I called the dogs and we all spent the night in my truck. When I went back in this morning the stereo was back on and the rats were out of their cage lined up on the table like they were waiting for me. I think VeilCorp did something to them. I can’t have them here anymore. I know it sounds crazy. I still want to help, I really do, but I feel like I’m losing my mind. Can you see if anyone at VeilWatch has heard anything about this lab? Please send someone to get these rats as soon as you can! I’m scared to go back into the house.

Veilcorp Transports Contaminated Animals To Lahaina Facility

subject: Update and relocation of 6th Generation R2137 “Brisby” Line

A little over 9-years-ago we successfully sent subject R2137, (aka: Brisby), through the gateway and discovered that the process had made some profound changes in the animal. At that time I theorized that some of the amazing abilities exhibited by the rat would be passed on to her young. As we now know that theory was correct. We have carefully bred the “R” line with limited numbers into the 6th generation and I will continue to keep you apprised of any new developments and issues as they arise. That brings us to the recent incident in the Seattle facility.

4 subjects in the Brisby line were taken by Gaia Guard radicals when they attacked the lab. We followed protocol by removing all sensitive information from properties nearby and alerting our government contacts. They have been taking point with local law enforcement and have had control of the public messaging. Unfortunately the animals have not turned up so far and no arrests have been made.

To be honest Eric, we haven’t heard anything in over a year so I think nature has solved the problem for us. As we learned firsthand, the Brisby line is very hard to keep in enclosures. I find it highly unlikely that anyone ignorant of their abilities would be able to keep them contained. Since we haven’t had any reports of animals grouping together in large numbers, or acting oddly in any other way, I think we might be safe. Knowing how much the rats love to tinker with machinery and control any other animals they come in contact with, I find it doubtful that they would have survived without acting out. We will keep working until we have a definitive answer of course, but I think we can breath a little easier.

It has been a few months now since we’ve relocated the rest of the line to the Lahaina facility and they are assimilating nicely. Not only has the move proved beneficial from a security standpoint, but the rats seem to be thriving in their new environment. The 6th generation retain many of the abilities and characteristics of their predecessors.

The rats seem to be able to share information amongst themselves. Teach one a task or trick, and the others become immediately capable of performing the activity. This communal knowledge seems to be passed on at birth automatically without any outward teaching. The generation 6 line has retained knowledge taught only to previous generations in this way. The animals are capable of typing out words in order to communicate wants or needs, and are capable of impacting the behavior of other animals. This ability seems less powerful in the 6th generation than others, with the rats being able to change the mood of other animals (passivity being most common) rather than the total control demonstrated in past lines. This still makes them too dangerous around other animals however, as a lab assistant learned in Seattle when confronted by a dozen raging rabbits.

Their love of building blocks borders on obsessive, and their urge to examine and fix anything mechanical (within their physical capabilities) is almost as strong. In addition, they remain big fans of instructional videos especially anything involved with food production. The newly installed vending machine has been a big hit and has led to some interesting new behaviors. We just got the latest model from Reality Machine which includes a recycler and the rats have gone nuts over it.

Because of the cost, we tried in vain to keep them away from it at first, but eventually let them examine it under close supervision. It’s ability to breakdown items, especially food, led to some excited chattering around here. I’m not sure some of the flavor combinations are going to take the culinary world by storm but they seem to like them. Past favorites include vanilla-broccoli-bread and peanut butter and herring bites, with cheesy-raspberry-chips being the snack of choice for over a week. Additionally, their need to have these creations photographed have allowed a bit of much needed levity to creep in around here. I’ve attached some of the pictures and there are many more hanging around the lab. We can take solace in the fact that they don’t seem interested in taking selfies yet but a few do insist on being next to their food when pictures are taken. I’ll keep you updated on any further events as usual.

Veilcorp, NOAA, and Navy unveil plan to deal with ocean plastic

It has been estimated that the world’s oceans contain over 80 metric tons of plastic waste and debris. This plastic is a danger to a wide variety of wildlife and in extreme cases, can become a danger to navigation. While most of this waste comes from cities close to the coast, the plastic has made it all the way to the Southern Ocean. It has been a problem for decades that has only gotten worse, with viable clean-up solutions hard to come by. Now, Veilcorp thinks they have an answer. Together with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Navy, the company has a program that they say can completely clean the worst areas within a few years.

400 million tons of plastic is produced every year. Since only about 30% of that plastic gets recycled, an estimated 10 metric tons finds its way into the ocean. Back in 1997 the North Pacific Gyre, commonly called the great Pacific garbage patch, was discovered. Its discovery dominated the news as appalling and undeniable visual proof that the oceans had reached a tipping point. Today, there are 7 additional recognized gyres, spanning all the world’s oceans.

Cleaning up the garbage, plastic refuse in particular, is extremely difficult. Currents and wave action breaks down the plastic into small bits that are hard to collect and easy for wildlife to consume. Most programs focus on tackling the problem when the refuse gets to shore, but that can be too late for fish, seabirds, and ships trying to navigate through miles of trash. However, the Veilcorp plan takes the clean-up effort directly to the source of the problem.

The company plans on using miles of inflatable barriers to create an artificial shoreline. Navy drone ships will maneuver the barriers to allow ocean currents to push the debris against the barrier. Once a sufficient amount of garbage has been shoved against the artificial shore, ships will pull the ends towards each other in a V-shape. The secured debris can then be scooped up easily and brought to a transport ship. The garbage is then packaged and sent through a prototype Navy veil system to a recycling facility. The plastic is then picked out, sorted and turned into small beads called nurdles, which are in turn sold back to manufacturers.

Allowing wind and the currents to do most of the work has many hailing the program as revolutionary. Because most of the process is automated, crews can work 24/7 with little need for resupply. Besides needing an occasional shipment of the containers used to transport the unsorted refuse, the system can operate on its own without returning to port. In addition, early tests show that the barriers do an excellent job of collecting even the smallest debris. Environmentalists are hailing the joint project as one of the first solutions that may actually, “put a dent in the problem of ocean plastics.” Not everyone is sold on the idea however.

VeilWatch founder Tim Durney warns that the Navy’s inclusion in the program should have people worried.

“We’ve been warning the public about the military application of Veilcorp’s technology for years. Over and over again the government has denied these allegations. Now here they are with a gateway system on a ship. Do they really expect us to believe that they haven’t been working on other projects using this technology? They say that they are only using it to transport garbage scooped from the ocean, but that’s laughable. I don’t think you need a great imagination to envision the government scooping “enemies” up at sea and transporting them to rendition facilities. What scares me the most is that they are admitting that they have this technology. Imagine what they have that they haven’t told us about. Veilcorp has put a bow on the top of this joint venture in duplicity and is trying to pass it off as a gift to the human race. They should be ashamed.”

Despite Durney’s warnings the program is being very well received. According to Veilcorp, many other countries are interested in partnering in similar programs to clean up the waters off their shores. The company says that they plan to expand the program across the globe if it proves as effective as early tests have shown.

Veilcorp spokesperson Lisa Hunt says,

“We are excited to offer our easy and elegant solution for this gigantic problem to anyone who is interested. Despite the warnings of the conspiracy theorists, our goal is a clean ocean for all. If allowing fishermen to catch fish that aren’t poisoned, and giving children beaches free of plastic medical waste is a crime, I guess we are guilty. Our projections indicate that we have a good chance of cleaning up the entire North Pacific Gyre in just under 2 years. If successful, I believe we can all but eliminate the plastic problem worldwide in our lifetime.”

Veilcorp Failure Causes Mass Evacuation

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources along with Federal officials have called for a shutdown of a Veilcorp facility working on 127 “Unbiseptium” synthesis. A containment breach early today destroyed acres of crops and led to the mass evacuation of thousands.

According to Veilcorp officials, the containment failure only lasted a few seconds. Acres of corn were destroyed in that short time and several surrounding towns have been evacuated. No casualties have been reported.

This is already the third such breach from a 127 synthesis plant since the beginning of the year, leading many to call for a moratorium on such research.

University of Michigan physics professor and Fields Medal winner Dr. Eric Oeming say Unbiseptium may be the key to sustainable clean power. “We need to understand that this is a very new technology so mistakes will be made. However, I believe the lives saved and the knowledge gained from studying this element far outweigh the occasional destruction of some corn.”

Tim Durney of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources disagrees. “What we’re seeing here is that we clearly don’t have a handle on this. If what Veilcorp says is true, a short release of these particles can destroy everything in a half-mile radius. It is a miracle that nobody was killed. We have no idea what the long term effects might be. Until we do, we should end this research,” he said.
