MI5 publicly stated that the China General Technology Research Institute is a front for China’s MSS, in an alert about stealing UK research from universities.
On the record: The Guardian reports MI5’s alert.
Alleged: Reported or claimed; not established in the public record.
Not only Langley. The UK, Russia and the USSR, Israel, China, India and Pakistan, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the United States, each with its agencies and its most controversial documented cases.
On 13 March 1962, a memo marked TOP SECRET went from the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Secretary of Defense. Its subject: “Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba.”
It responded to a request from the head of the Cuba Project for “pretexts,” under the code word Northwoods. The memo proposed ideas such as a staged “Remember the Maine” incident, a “terror campaign,” and a faked airliner incident. These were proposals in a planning paper, described in the memo as preliminary and for planning purposes. This is a Joint Chiefs / Pentagon paper tied to the Cuba Project, not a CIA plan, and this page makes no claim that any of it was carried out.
Three days later, a note of a meeting between President Kennedy and General Lemnitzer records Kennedy replying that “we were not discussing the use of U.S. military force.” The memo reached the public through the JFK Assassination Records Review Board, and the National Security Archive published it online in 2001.
Governments create enormous volumes of records, and many are eventually declassified: reviewed, released in full or with parts blacked out, and placed in public archives. Redaction bars on a released page usually mark material still withheld for legal or security reasons.
Agencydotfun turns individual declassified documents into short, numbered episodes and always links the original so you can read it yourself. We separate what a document says from what people say about it, and we use words like “proposed” and “alleged” when the record only supports that.
