He doubted there would be too much left of any significance. I think I agree with him.
I concur with this. I remember reading that during the early Yeltsin years a team of US intel/military types spent a small fortune to purchase the right to weed out the KGB files of all sorts of important information. These guys have war games for war games and are years ahead of the curve.
As a small footnote, I know - from, ahem, direct experience - that it in the late 1990s it was possible to bribe archive staff to allow original material to be removed from Russian state archives.
My own view is that They have gutted or destroyed any "smoking guns" that They know of in official archives. However, there may still be "smoking guns" that They are unaware of and have not "cleansed" yet.
Remember "Dr" Sid Gottlieb destroyed all the MK-ULTRA papers he could find. But the old fool forgot about a few boxes of receipts. And these receipts to sub-contractors and their ilk provided the hard documentation necessary for John Marks' Search for the Manchurian Candidate.
Now, that book is arguably a limited hangout. However, without the discovery and publication of those receipts, which Gottlieb forgot to shred, there would still, to this day, quite probably be no public knowledge or admission of the crimes of MK-ULTRA whatsoever.
Dr Ewen Cameron would still be a "world class psychiatrist" instead of a CIA butcher.
So, archive research is a time-intensive and frustrating task. A task deliberately frustrated by Them. But every now and then a genuine nugget glistens in the shit They've left behind...
