Government Cover-Ups: The Documents, Leaks, and Silences Behind Power

From buried reports to “lost” archives, from redactions to staged narratives. We track confirmed concealments, declassified traces, whistleblower claims, and the evidence standards that separate hard cover-ups from convenient myths.

What This Sub-Archive Tracks

This sub-archive tracks government cover-ups as systems: the methods used to delay, distort, bury, or compartmentalize information once it becomes politically dangerous. We follow the evidence trail—declassified records, inspector reports, court filings, FOIA releases, and credible leaks—while marking where the record breaks. The goal is not endless suspicion. It’s to map what can be documented, how concealment works in practice, and which narratives survive because the paper trail was cut on purpose.

Classification Categories

Redactions & Withholding

What’s removed, delayed, or classified—and the rationale used to keep it sealed.

Narrative Control

Press shaping, official timelines, scapegoats, and the “single acceptable story.”

Whistleblowers & Leaks

Claims tested against documents, corroboration, and the cost of speaking publicly.

Reading Protocol

How to Read a Cover-Up Claim

  • Identify the “break point”: what specific fact is being hidden, and who controls access to it.
  • Follow the paper trail: redactions, missing annexes, destroyed records, and shifting official language.
  • Demand corroboration: one source can spark suspicion; multiple independent anchors build a case.

Most cover-ups don’t erase reality. They delay it—until the public stops looking.

COINTELPRO: What the Official Records Show—and Where They Stop

Government archives identify cointelpro as a target of federal investigation and internal handling controls. While the available records certify that the program was evaluated by legislative committees, the founding directives that established its operational scope remain absent from this specific documentation set.

False Flag Operations: What the Records Show—and Where They Stop

Declassified institutional records define false flag operations as hostile acts designed to appear as if they were conducted by an entity other than the responsible group. Archives contain memoranda proposing such justifications and texts authorizing escalation, but the record often lacks the operational incident reports required to certify attribution for specific events.

Area 51 Documents: What the Records Show—and Where They Stop

Official area 51 documents form a dispersed archive of declassified records held within CIA and National Archives repositories. This paper trail certifies specific aviation activities and title usage but does not provide a unified mapping of site designations across agencies.

Operation Mockingbird: What the Records Show—and Where They Stop

Operation Mockingbird functions as a broad external label for intelligence activities involving the press, though internal records restrict the specific name to a limited monitoring effort. While documentation confirms official inquiries into the use of journalists, the archive does not validate a centralized institutional program.

A Living Archive

This project is never complete. History is a fluid signal, often distorted by those who record it. We are constantly updating these files as new information is declassified or discovered.
