This already exists for decades ...

Simply use free Usenet Servers via Tor and post your anonymous* PGP
messages to the Usenet group alt.anonymous.messages.

*You send PGP encrypted messages via Mixmaster Remailers (via Tor) and
preferably use a hashed subject (hsub) so that the intended receiver(s)
can filter out their messages.

That is the most reliable old school method.

Solution 2 is use Bitmessage, where you can create yourself a chan
which everybody can subscribe to. Beware, once a chan is
publicty known it can be spammed easily. Bitmessage is so cool an
easy to use, via Tor, that it probably became on of the most
hated Networks in some peoples eyes. For Bitmessage there is no
need to use old stuff like PGP.

Hope this helps a bit or two.
