Investigations

Every file follows the same path: the public claim, the record underneath it, and the property that connects them. A file marked RESEARCH carries a question, not a conclusion. Nothing here has published yet.

005

The Chicago Through-Line

Chicago, IL — 1969–2015

A 1969 raid, a torture command, a warehouse on the West Side. Three scandals, each closed alone. The geography doesn’t move.

The Baking Soda Conversion

Caribbean · Latin America · U.S. — 1970–1995

Every account of crack cocaine names an inventor. The record names nobody. The absence is the finding.

Camp Ground Road

Louisville, KY · opened August 2026

OPEN

A 153-acre data center approved beside Rubbertown, the historically industrial, majority-Black stretch of southwest Louisville. It cleared after a moratorium sat in committee for eleven months and expired unpassed. A resident made six specific claims about it in public comment at Metro Council on 13 August 2026. The file checks all six against the record, one at a time.
