CAMPAIGN RESEARCH LIBRARY

The Papers Behind the Propaganda

Fourteen user-supplied working papers informed the expanded Bender 2028 campaign: economy, labor, energy, environment, AI and robot rights, foreign policy, coalition strategy, media spectacle, vice, ethics, and character contradictions.

The repository preserves the exact uploaded bytes, records SHA-256 hashes, identifies one duplicate pair, and maps each source to the public pages it informed.

ANSWER FIRST

How did the reports expand the site?

The reports were used as a structured idea library. Their recurring topics became eight platform deep dives, a coalition page, a campaign war room, new campaign statements, stronger internal linking, and a transparent source map.

The site does not silently treat every sentence as established canon or verified research. Public pages distinguish the campaign promise, the self-serving fine print, the contradiction, and the repository source IDs that informed the transformation.

DUPLICATE DETECTION

Two filenames. One exact document.

SRC-001 and SRC-002 share the same SHA-256 digest. Both files remain in the archive because they were supplied as separate artifacts; the site does not count the duplicate as additional evidence.

Bendernomics: Get Rich Without Working

Bendernomics puts prices, wages, taxes, public spending, and market power under one clear rule: money should move faster, meetings should move slower, and every benefit should arrive where the candidate can personally verify it.

DIRECT ANSWERS

Research library questions

How many campaign research files are preserved?

Fourteen uploaded Markdown files are preserved under docs/campaign-research/source-materials/. Thirteen content hashes are unique because two uploaded files are byte-identical.

Are the reports independently verified?

No. They are user-supplied working papers. The repository verifies exact bytes and hashes, not every canon summary, citation, interpretation, or factual claim in the papers.

Are the raw reports published as campaign pages?

No. Public pages use short paraphrases, topic structures, and original campaign copy. The raw archive remains repository documentation and is excluded from the sitemap.

Why not copy the reports directly into the site?

The reports mix canon summaries, copyrighted dialogue, extrapolation, political theory, violent satire, and real-world analogy. Editorial transformation keeps public pages readable, original, and non-operational.
