An Unacknowledged or Classified Association
Sharing a new project that might interest you
Yesterday, after four years of quietly researching a number of inconsistencies in my own family’s past, I launched An Unacknowledged or Classified Association.
The newsletter will chronicle my investigation into the first International Monetary Fund official ever to be positively linked to the Central Intelligence Agency. That man was my grandfather, Jay H. Reid, Director of Information, who worked at the Fund from 1948 to 1980.
Here is a taste of what the project is all about:
This investigation is aimed at uncovering what the government hopes to keep secret about its relationship with Jay Reid.
In particular, I seek to answer the following questions:
Did Jay work in intelligence or plans (also known as covert operations)?
Was the IMF his target or his cover?
Who else was in his CIA-affiliated network?
Who were the decision makers?
What, precisely was he working on?
What were the end results?
There is a reason why Jay’s relationship with the CIA remains classified more than four decades after he retired from the IMF, and nearly 20 years after his death.
As you will discover, Jay Reid was a node that connected numerous strands of highly sensitive activities, both foreign and domestic.
An Unacknowledged or Classified Association is an entirely free newsletter, and I hope you will consider subscribing. The more people who are aware of, and following developments in the case, the more leverage I will have in my ongoing battle with the federal government over disclosure of relevant documents.
Thanks for your continued support. I’ll be back in your inboxes soon with a piece on NIL valuation!
