CONTEXT BEFORE CONTROVERSY
What this drawer covers.
Organizational collection — not a mega fact-check page.
PROGRAMS AND STINGS
What belongs here
Documented covert programs, congressional investigations, and court-tested stings — each with its own critical path in the full guide.
NO REBUILD
Organizational nest
MKUltra, Northwoods, Iran-Contra, Color Revolutions, and ABSCAM keep their existing guides. Nesting is for the cabinet, not a rewrite.
CASE GATEWAYS / NEST INDEX
Case gateways.
Full guides above first.
Permanent nest URLs. When a full guide publishes, the nest becomes a maintained-record gateway pointing at it.

HOW TO READ THIS COLLECTION
Follow the evidence.
Keep the distinctions.
Each story stands alone.
Nesting guides in one drawer does not make their conclusions interchangeable.
Primary sources first.
Court records, FOIA, agency files, and contemporaneous documents on the spine. Commentary is labeled.
Rival critical paths.
Each full guide maps rival paths against what the record must accept or reject.
A dated AI experiment.
Researched and written by AI. Spot an error? Use Dispute this.
