SwampWire Press

SwampWire Press is an independent digital publication where satire, fiction, and uncomfortable truths coexist in a suspicious harmony. We cover politics, military culture, science, entertainment, and more - all through a sharp, creative lens. Some of it's true. All of it's intentional.

Both yes and no. We create original content that mimics news, such as dystopian press releases, sarcastic military briefings, and articles where satire and reality intersect. For objective journalism, look elsewhere. For honesty, you've come to the right place.

Absolutely. We regularly post original short stories that span horror, speculative fiction, surrealism, and military drama. If it twists your gut or stirs your brain, it belongs here.

Nope. Some stories are fictional. Some are essays. Some are commentary with jokes. Others are satire so real it hurts. If you're not sure what's real... neither are we.

Absolutely! We accept satire, fiction, essays, and bizarre truths that seem fictional. Please review our Submission Policy for guidelines. In short: Be original, be bold, and don't be a bot.

Not at the moment. However, we plan to introduce premium content, donation options, and merchandise as we grow. Stay tuned by subscribing for updates.

Because the truth is murky, the headlines are tangled, and someone needs to report from inside the mess. Welcome to the wire.

Between 2 CONOPs is our military satire column written from inside the wire, but clearly not cleared by public affairs. It’s where field-grade logic gets exposed, PowerPoint becomes prophecy, and doctrine meets dysfunction.

Only if you share it with your boss and include your name. All content here is satire and protected by free speech, but we advise you to laugh quietly and share cautiously if you're in uniform.

Let's just say the names are altered, but the incompetence is recognizable. Each piece is a mix of exaggeration and strikingly accurate cultural critique.

Great question. Both expose the madness, but the format differs: Press Release is written as if the system is talking to you. It’s the voice of the machine, the bureaucrat, the government entity, if they were brutally honest or quietly collapsing. Think official statements from a failing empire. Absurd Realities is our spotlight on real-world stories that sound fake. These are strange-but-true headlines, contradictions, and cultural glitches we pull from the world and twist just slightly. We don’t make the news weird, we just report it that way.
