deHaven-Smith appears to be a scholar of political conspiracy and suspected state crimes, invoked here through the concept of "SCADs" (State Crimes Against Democracy) to frame historical events like the Gulf of Tonkin incident as uninvestigated abuses of official power. His work enables the course readings to theorize how institutional opacity and information asymmetry create spaces where both human and machine-driven manipulation operate—a crucial bridge between Cold War paranoia and contemporary algorithmic governance. The reference is functional rather than developed, anchoring a broader argument about how systems of control exceed official narratives.
