We bring the stories of innocent Americans out of the shadows and into the light.
Weaponization Watch advocates for victims of government abuse by providing resources, amplifying their stories, and driving targeted advocacy and media efforts. We relentlessly shine a light on innocent American citizens who have been punished or persecuted for their political, medical or religious and conservative beliefs. Use our contact form to submit a case for consideration, and check back regularly to see which cases we are actively highlighting.
We are living in a moment where the pillars of freedom, accountability, and justice are being tested like never before. Across the country, government overreach, cancel culture, targeted censorship, and even violence against conservatives have become disturbingly normalized. The once-sacred office of the President of the United States is no longer treated with the respect, neutrality, or constitutional guardrails it demands — and this cannot continue.
Weaponization Watch was created for this exact moment.
Our mission is simple but urgent: to hold government accountable and expose those who manipulate power for political gain. We stand for freedom, fairness, free speech, and the rule of law — and we are unwavering in our commitment to uncovering every corner where corruption, bias, or abuse tries to hide.
Weaponization Watch isn’t just about exposing problems — it’s about empowering the citizens who refuse to be silenced.
Through in-depth monitoring, investigation, and reporting, Weaponization Watch will track and expose the double standards that plague our institutions — from officials who punish free expression to those who enforce one set of rules for their allies and another for their opponents. We will call out hypocrisy and demand accountability for actions that erode public trust, silence dissent, and threaten our most basic freedoms.
But Weaponization Watch is not only about identifying the problems — it’s about empowering the American people. By exposing the truth, we aim to restore confidence in our institutions and protect the rights of every citizen, regardless of political belief or affiliation.
And this is only the beginning. We are building a comprehensive platform that will track, document, and publish evidence of government overreach, censorship, and intimidation in real time. We will partner with investigative journalists, legal experts, whistleblowers, and everyday Americans to ensure that those in power are finally held to the same standards as everyone else.
About the founder
Cynthia Hughes is the founder of Patriot Freedom Project and Weaponization Watch, two nationally recognized initiatives dedicated to supporting families devastated by political targeting and government overreach. Cynthia’s journey into advocacy began abruptly and painfully when her nephew was unlawfully arrested, denied bond, and stripped of Due Process for nonviolent actions connected to his attendance at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Thrust into a crisis no family should ever endure, Cynthia refused to stand by. Instead, she stepped forward.
As she fought to protect her nephew, Cynthia uncovered the widespread collateral damage—children left without parents, families losing their homes, careers destroyed, and ordinary Americans languishing behind bars with no voice and no help. With urgency and conviction, she built Patriot Freedom Project into the leading national charity focused on supporting January 6 families, offering direct aid, legal resources, and emotional support when the rest of the world turned its back.
Cynthia’s relentless advocacy gained the attention of major figures in the political and legal world. Her work has been publicly acknowledged and supported by U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin, who has partnered with her closely, and by President Donald J. Trump, who has recognized the vital role she has played in bringing truth, compassion, and accountability to the forefront.
Today, through Weaponization Watch, Cynthia has expanded her mission to expose, document, and combat government weaponization and lawfare affecting Americans nationwide. Her leadership, courage, and unyielding dedication have made her one of the most trusted and effective voices fighting for justice, transparency, and the restoration of constitutional rights.
Cynthia Hughes continues her work every day—with heart, with grit, and with the unwavering belief that no American should ever be abandoned by their own government.
