2012 Augurist 1: Police Arrest Suspect in Bank Heist Case
In a recent discovery, a collection of CIA documents from the 1960s and early 1970s have surfaced, offering a glimpse into the intelligence agency's monitoring of political stability, threats, and regional military activity in Latin America and the Caribbean during the Cold War and post-colonial periods.
The documents, which include memos, polls, and reports, provide insight into U.S. intelligence focus on regime change, insurgencies, and inter-state conflicts in the context of ideological and security concerns.
One of the most intriguing documents is titled "Annex: Summary Reports on Referenced Individuals. Haitians Who Might Contribute Effectively to a Post-Duvalier Regime," created in July of 1962. This annex compiles summaries about Haitian individuals considered capable of positively influencing or contributing to a government after the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship.
Another document, "Alleged Plans of General Leon Cantave to Invade Haiti with the Support of the Dominican Army," was created on July 2, 1963. This intelligence report or analysis alleges that General Leon Cantave planned an invasion of Haiti backed by the Dominican military.
The collection also includes the "Closing of Haitian Training Camp in the Dominican Republic and President Bosch's Attitude towards Haitian Opposition Activities," created on July 3, 1963. This document reports on the shutdown of a Haitian militant training camp located in the Dominican Republic and an evaluation of then-Dominican President Juan Bosch's stance regarding Haitian opposition groups.
Other documents in the collection pertain to Guatemala and Chile. For instance, the "Transmittal of Guatemalan Political Poll," created on March 13, 1963, likely transmits results or analysis of political polling in Guatemala, reflecting U.S. intelligence interests in assessing political conditions there. Another memo, "Chile; Possible Visit Memo for Bundy," presumably relates to plans or considerations for a visit by an official named Bundy to Chile, possibly involving political or intelligence briefings.
The appeal adjudication for these CIA documents took place during the fiscal year 2014, specifically from October 1, 2013, to September 30, 2014. While no direct full texts of these exact documents were found in the current search results, related materials and historical context, such as U.S. covert involvement in Guatemala in 1954 and CIA activities in the region, are well documented in academic and archival references.
If you seek access to these CIA documents, they may be located in the U.S. National Archives, CIA reading rooms, or specialized microfilm collections covering Latin American intelligence reports from mid-20th century. These materials offer a valuable resource for historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in understanding the complex political landscape of Latin America during the Cold War era.
