A form of manipulation, often carried out by people in positions of power—such as judges, lawyers, doctors, or police officers—where false, misleading, or completely fabricated written communication (such as reports, records, or legal documents) is used to distort facts, undermine a person's reality, or discredit them. This tactic can involve not only adding false information but also creating entirely false documents to cover up crimes. It is frequently used to manufacture false mental health narratives or discredit victims of non-consensual human experimentation. The purpose is to conceal the crimes of those in power, making false information appear as the "gospel truth"—essentially
Police Cover-Up Example
"Officer Gordon Dorham sent me a letter falsely claiming that I had filed an Internal Affairs complaint against one of their officers. However, I never filed such a complaint. The letter was part of a cover-up for Oakland Police Department Cannabis Unit Officer John Jacko Romero, who failed to shut down his cousin Jacko’s illegal cannabis operation. Instead of addressing the real issue, they engaged in gaslighting on paper, framing false mental health issues against me without ever mentioning the officer or his cousin's illegal cannabis operation."
Medical Gaslighting Example
"A doctor created a backdated medical note, falsely stating that I had paranoia in 2020, even though I never saw them that year. This completely fabricated document was an example of gaslighting on paper to discredit me and cover up the crimes committed against me."

Get the Gaslighting on Papermug. A covert or overt psychological tactic in which government agencies, law enforcement, or affiliated actors deliberately provoke a targeted individual into reacting—often in anger, fear, or self-defense—with the intent of discrediting, arresting, institutionalizing, or silencing them. This manipulation is executed through harassment, intimidation, and staged confrontations, all under the protection of state authority.
Often used against whistleblowers, activists, or individuals involved in litigation against the government, state-sanctioned provocation relies on surveillance infrastructure, informants, and coordinated setups to generate false narratives of instability or aggression. (noun)

After filing a federal lawsuit against the Oakland Police Department, Juana experienced state-sanctioned provocation when 50–100 bikers swarmed a major intersection near her home, attempting to block her vehicle and bait her into reacting—with police stationed just 50 yards away.
The day before her criminal case was dismissed, a man—believed to be connected to a corrupt officer—stood outside her home and covered her kitchen window to provoke a confrontation. She remained silent, filmed the act, and refused to give them the reaction they were fishing for. Classic state-sanctioned provocation.
On her way to court, a man in an elevator used a gang stalking app to signal her presence, then pretended not to know what it was. Another time, a motorbiker followed her, smashed her side mirror, and fled—while police refused to take the report, despite video evidence. All signs of state-sanctioned provocation designed to derail her legal case.
