The Free Will Society was founded in 2009 by Dr. H. Michael Sweeney, a privacy and security consultant and author of The Professional Paranoid: How to Fight Back When Investigated, Stalked, Harassed, or Targeted. Following public discussion of his work, Dr. Sweeney received a large volume of inquiries from individuals reporting persistent harassment, social destabilization, and perceived targeting that did not fit traditional models of surveillance or investigation.
Through this engagement, the Free Will Society emerged as a forum for examining reports of long-term psychological stress, social disruption, and coercive influence experienced by individuals across diverse backgrounds. Rather than presuming causes or assigning intent, the Society focuses on understanding how prolonged exposure to harassment, monitoring, labeling, or institutional response can affect cognition, behavior, and well-being.
The Free Will Society explores these experiences through historical, psychological, and sociological lenses, including examination of known psychological operations programs, influence strategies, and documented cases of state or institutional overreach. The organization does not assert that all reported experiences share a single cause, method, or origin. Its role is to provide structure, analysis, and support where individuals feel existing systems have failed to adequately assess or address their concerns.
The Free Will Society offers:
The Society’s mission is to ensure that individuals experiencing persistent psychological or social distress are not dismissed without examination, and that concerns are addressed through evidence, critical inquiry, and responsible discussion.
The Free Will Society does not claim to adjudicate the validity of every experience reported to it. It exists to promote inquiry, understanding, and dignity where uncertainty and isolation often prevail.
