Targeted Individuals Series

The Targeted Individuals Series is a provocative series of first-person works by Michael James Lutterschmidt, who chronicles his belief that he has been singled out for covert persecution beyond the reach of law or public scrutiny. Beginning with Extrajudicial Execution and culminating in A Prophet and a Scribe, the books blend memoir, spiritual reflection, and social critique to explore themes of surveillance, power, suffering, and meaning. Written with urgency and conviction, the collection gives voice to experiences that challenge conventional explanations and raise unsettling questions about authority, technology, and individual vulnerability. For readers who feel marginalized, unheard, or threatened by unseen systems of control, this series offers a raw narrative space—one that invites reflection, debate, and deeper examination of how truth, belief, and identity are formed under pressure.
