Sousveillance: A New Era of Political Research

• "Sous-" means "under" or "below."

• "Veillance" comes from "veiller," meaning "to watch."​

​

Invisible Inquiry is a first-of-its-kind open-source directory that merges data from global sources to construct a comprehensive, fact-based narrative.

​

For centuries, we have relied on two-dimensional databases and linear data streams (news, media), leading to historical discrepancies and political division. When data doesn’t connect, it fuels echo chambers.

This toolset is designed for political researchers and those seeking a deeper understanding of world events, dark money, social movements, and political networks. It is built for individuals who recognize that in the pursuit of truth, everything connects.

​

As technology advances, the world faces an onslaught of misinformation—often from those who claim to be arbiters of truth. Yet, technology also offers unprecedented transparency—if we harness it correctly.

​

I have always been passionate about political research. But in 2011, I hit a wall. Searching for deeper connections between sources, numbers, names, and events, I realized my brain alone couldn’t hold it all—especially names.

​

That led me to design an early prototype of a data network tool. However, the technology at the time wasn’t ready to support it. So, I shifted to other tech-driven projects, some of which you may have seen (www.drewarnold.tv).

​

Now, with AI and advanced graphing systems, the time has come. My goal is to build the most comprehensive OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tool available to the public—empowering a new generation of political researchers as global dynamics shift.

Public research is about to get a whole lot more powerful. Join me on this journey to unearth the deepest insights humanity has uncovered—yet never fully connected.
