Evidence, safety, corrections

Antichrist Research Method

FFTAC editorial method for Antichrist research, including evidence levels, source classification, link policy, living-person safety, correction workflow, and SEO expansion rules.

A serious Antichrist resource needs method as much as content. Without method, the subject becomes rumor, accusation, recruitment, or fear marketing.

This page defines how FFTAC should evaluate sources, publish links, write about current material, and correct mistakes.

Evidence Ladder

Claims move from low confidence to high confidence based on source quality. A meme is not a source trail. A quote without date or context is not enough. A direct, archived public statement is stronger, but still needs interpretation.

Level 1: rumor or meme

Do not publish as fact. Use only as evidence that a rumor exists.

Level 2: secondary commentary

Useful for reception history, but not enough for direct claims.

Level 3: primary public source

Quote sparingly, date it, and classify it.

Level 4: primary source plus corroboration

Best for current landscape mapping.

Level 5: settled source trail

Primary sources, expert context, counter-readings, archive capture, and correction notes.

Source Classification

Every page should say what kind of source it is using. Primary text, academic book, reference article, public statement, fiction, occult self-description, opposition polemic, governance report, and social media post do different jobs.

  • Primary text: scripture, historical document, public statement, original work.
  • Secondary scholarship: academic or expert interpretation.
  • Reference: useful orientation but not final authority.
  • Fiction and culture: evidence of imagination, not direct evidence of reality.
  • High-risk source: requires archive-only treatment or neutral-source substitution.

Living-Person Safety

The archive does not name living people as the Antichrist. It may discuss public rhetoric, symbolic interpretation, media claims, and self-presentation when relevant, but it must avoid villainization and harassment framing.

When a living person is mentioned, the page should ask whether the public-interest value is strong enough, whether the claim can be phrased without accusation, and whether a correction path is visible.

SEO Expansion Rules

SEO should make the library easier to find, not make it louder than its evidence. Each new page should answer a real reader question, include definitions, route to sources, and link to related pages.

Pages should be specific: Antichrist in Daniel, Antichrist in Revelation, Nero Redivivus, Dajjal and Antichrist comparison, Best books on Antichrist, AI and mark of the beast claims, Antichrist glossary, Current web landscape method.
