PENTTBOMB Lost 9/11 Media LOLSUPERMAN FOIA Research

Truthdude is an online researcher, community manager, and archival obsessive focused on 9/11 media preservation, lost footage research, FOIA documentation, and the internet folklore surrounding the alleged lost media phenomenon known as LOL SUPERMAN.

His work sits somewhere between internet archaeology, community curation, lost media documentation, and a dusty old forum thread found glowing in the back of a 2004 computer lab.

Community roles

  • Founder and owner of PENTTBOMB.com and the associated forum community.
  • Founder and manager of the Lost 9/11 Media project and archive network.
  • Founder and manager of LOLSUPERMAN.com and associated research communities.
  • Former owner of the original r/lolsuperman subreddit before its termination.
  • Current manager of r/lolsupermanofficial and related Discord spaces.

Research focus

Truthdude’s research focuses on 9/11 media preservation, early internet shock-site history, archived references, missing media trails, witness claims, forum folklore, FOIA leads, and the fragile way digital evidence can disappear, mutate, or get buried under years of reposts and rumours.

His approach is community-driven but source-conscious: document what exists, label what is uncertain, debunk what is fake, and keep the work respectful toward victims, families, and survivors.

Archive philosophy

The aim is to preserve research trails before they vanish into dead links, platform removals, forgotten accounts, and old hard drives. PENTTBOMB exists to give those trails a more permanent home.

Difficult material should be handled with documentation, context, caution, and humanity.

“To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men.” Truthdude’s work is dedicated to preserving research trails, documenting lost media claims, and building communities that can investigate difficult subjects without losing their humanity.
