An interesting but contested claim by an anonymous intelligence source, that CIA (or an asset) used African Swine Fever as a bio-weapon in Cuba two years after the Nixon administration publicly ended US bio-weapons programs, and a few years before the international bio-weapons convention. Apparently Chomsky promoted this claim as well. This seems perhaps no so far fetched considering other US intelligence shenanigans that were evidenced to have occurred at the time in that region, but this particular event doesn't seem to be publicly evidenced.
I went as far as attempting to confirm that at least the _claim_ itself is broadly recognized, and the article was really published by SF Chronicle, because... well, in 2020, what is even real? :p
