# About This Wiki > [[home|Home]] · [[license|License & Editorial Posture]] · [[index|Full Catalog]] ## What this wiki is This is an **LLM-maintained public-records wiki** built from Arkansas FOIA productions documenting Arkansas state-government purchases of Israel Bonds across six agencies: the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System (ATRS), the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System (APERS), the Arkansas State Highway Employees Retirement System (ASHERS), the State Treasurer, the Auditor of State, and the Arkansas Securities Department. The wiki documents 281 pages of compiled analysis — 189 entity pages, 33 concept pages, 23 source pages, 24 tension pages, and 12 dialectic phase files — synthesizing what the documentary record shows about how Arkansas pension systems and the Treasurer's office came to hold approximately $125M in Development Corporation for Israel (DCI) bonds ($50M at ATRS, $15M at APERS, and $60M at the Treasury accumulated since 2018), with no documented independent credit analysis at any adopting agency. The investigative spine of the wiki is the concept layer; the headline frame is set on the [[home|home page]]. The wiki does not purport to be a complete history of Arkansas Israel Bonds investment policy. It is bounded by what Arkansas state agencies produced under FOIA in response to public-records requests filed between 2025 and 2026. ## Evidentiary standard **Wiki pages are LLM-compiled artifacts. They are useful for navigation, synthesis, and pattern recognition, but they are NEVER citeable as primary evidence.** Every factual claim on every wiki page traces to a raw source document — a `.pdf` from a FOIA production, a board-meeting audio transcript, a FINRA Web CRD record, an Arkansas Securities Department order — with file path, page number, and (where present) a verbatim quote. The wiki layer compresses and cross-references; it does not replace the underlying records. If a wiki page conflicts with a raw source, **the raw source wins.** The wiki page gets corrected. ## Editorial posture The wiki demarcates three kinds of text, kept textually distinct: - **Direct quotation** from public records, rendered in `[!evidence]` callout blocks with raw-source anchors - **Factual summary** of records, each claim source-anchored to file path, page, and verbatim quote - **Synthesis and opinion** — the author's own analytical work, offered in furtherance of public discourse on matters of public concern, grounded in the underlying evidence Every factual claim is traceable to a raw FOIA source within two hops. Opinion and synthesis are demarcated and identified as the author's own. See [[license|License & Editorial Posture]] for the load-bearing statement of this standard. ## Source provenance The corpus is built exclusively from Arkansas state-agency FOIA productions plus the Arkansas Securities Department's FOIA-produced FINRA Web CRD records dump on the Development Corporation for Israel. The productions ingested to date span: - Arkansas Office of the State Auditor: R1, R2, R3 productions plus the R1 Spadoni and R2 Brady custodian-specific tranches and the R2 residual batch - Arkansas State Treasurer: R1, R2, R3 productions - Arkansas Teacher Retirement System: R1 (staff emails and board rules), the 7/3/2025 Board of Trustees and Investment Committee packet production, and the 2/28/2026 production of board and investment-committee audio recordings (6/2/2025 BoT, 6/2/2025 IC, 12/1/2025 BoT) with the Reams contract and Aon Hewitt consultant-guidelines bundle - Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System: R1, R2 productions - Arkansas State Highway Employees Retirement System: R1 production - Arkansas Securities Department: R1 FINRA Web CRD records dump (155 files) on Development Corporation for Israel There are no commercially-licensed datasets in the corpus, no scraped content, no third-party-database queries, and no Drive-shared files with terms of use other than the FOIA-response OneDrive transmittals through which the underlying productions arrived. ## Method The wiki follows what Andrej Karpathy described as LLM-wikification of raw source material: the wiki sits between the reader and the FOIA productions, serving as a navigation and synthesis surface while preserving a strict citation chain back to the original PDFs. The compilation pattern is documented in full on the [[methodology|Methodology]] page. The schema and operator instructions for the LLM maintainer (the `AGENTS.md` operating constitution) live at the repository root and are not published on this public site. Board-meeting audio recordings produced in FOIA are transcribed locally with an offline faster-whisper transcription tool (no API key, no data leaves the machine). The transcripts are stored alongside the source recordings in `raw/` and treated as ordinary raw source documents — they are not the original artifact (the FOIA-produced audio is) but they are journalistically reliable derivative compilations of public-record audio. ## What's excluded from the public site The public Obsidian Publish site at `israelbonds.wiki` includes the wiki layer only. The following are **not** published: - The raw FOIA productions (`raw/`) - Working notes, scratch material, draft pages - The append-only activity log (`log.md`) - The schema and operator guide for the LLM maintainer (`AGENTS.md`) - The Obsidian application config (`.obsidian/`) If you want to verify a claim that traces to a specific document, request the document from the agency that produced it. These are Arkansas public records. ## Naming and accuracy Names that appear in 2024–2025-era email correspondence are sometimes transcribed inconsistently (variant spellings, signature blocks with different formal/informal forms). The wiki uses the most-current canonical form on entity pages and tracks variants in the underlying source-page evidence. Errors that surface during query operations or lint sweeps are corrected against the raw production. ## About the compiler The wiki is compiled by Joshua Dunlap, an Arkansas citizen FOIA requester. The work is part of broader public-records-grounded accountability research and is conducted in association with **Divest for Arkansas Future (D4ARF)** and **Little Rock Peace for Palestine**. The wiki documents what Arkansas agencies produced in response to public-records requests; it does not draw on confidential sources, private leaks, or non-public materials. ## Citation format For the wiki: > Joshua Dunlap, *Israel Bonds Investigation Wiki*, israelbonds.wiki, accessed YYYY-MM-DD.
