Government UAP concealment — documented mechanisms (framework)

documentedframeworkMajestic 12 & Disinfo

Organizing frame for how governments have DOCUMENTABLY managed/suppressed UAP information: official debunking (Robertson Panel/Grudge), cover-story maintenance (CIA U-2 admission), dismissive closure (Condon/Blue Book), disinformation (Doty/Bennewitz, MJ12), record destruction (MKUltra 1973, the 1948 Estimate), and classification (SAP/waived-USAP). Separates 'concealment happened' [DOCUMENTED] from 'concealment hides non-human tech' [ALLEGED].

[FRAMEWORK] The load-bearing honesty distinction for the whole cover-up question: it is DOCUMENTED that governments controlled UAP information via specific mechanisms; it is DISPUTED/ALLEGED that the apparatus conceals recovered non-human technology. Strongest documented PURPOSES are prosaic (protect reconnaissance programs, avoid panic, standard secrecy, Cold-War counter-intel). Organizes existing graph nodes into a tier-tagged taxonomy so 'the machinery of secrecy is real' is not conflated with 'the secret is aliens'.
