Overthrow a Government and Install a Puppet Dictator? The CIA will do it for Bananas!

This is a direct consequence of Conway's law. You create an organisation with the mission of deceiving and abusing, don't be surprised if they produce deception and abuse.

"Let's put LSD in this small town's drinking water and see what happens."

"What scientific purpose would this have?"

"It would be funny."

"Good point. Operation Midnight Climax approved."

I had to do some serious convincing to inform my mom about the CIA's involvement in Contra cocaine trafficking.

Thankfully, there's a wiki page

Straight up just listening to Behind the Bastards/It Could Happen Here, the Dollop, or Knowledge Fight will make you sound like a crazy person if you talk about them to someone who has no interest in history or current events

On a similar note, I get irate when people call the Business Plot a conspiracy theory. It's just a conspiracy. We know it happened.

You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people, people like you. Crimes the government considered irrelevant. They wouldn’t act, so I decided I would. But I needed a partner, someone with the skills to intervene. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You’ll never find us. But victim or perpetrator, if your number’s up, we’ll find you.

CIA is everything Hollywood movies depict terrorists and evil organizations to be.

After learning about the experiment where a woman lived in a house with a dolphin to teach it, and by the end of the project she was instructed to jerk off the dolphin to calm him down, I cannot be surprised anymore

The fun part is the shit you can't talk about without disappearing.

Good times, good times.

A show called Snowfall touches on a CIA agent working to bring in cocaine to the US to fund anti-communist militias in South America. Good show overall. Not the best, but interesting.

MKULTRA was the result of Allen Dulles's hypno kink.

Either the CIA is very good at it and no other countries can match them at toppling a regime, or they're really sloppy and we only know about it because of it, plus other large nations are doing it better than them without raising suspicion.

This is why nobody responds to my Grindr messages

Wasn't there supposedly a recent coup attempt in Congo and they were a handful of Americans? Don't know if CIA but more than likely CIA.

That's excentric. Soviet Union would never admit such things.

Why is this a shitpost..?

But then parlaying that into "NASA must be lying earth flat" or "Imma videogame this pizza parlor" is where the problems begin

Relevant song

I mean it probably doesn't help, but if you're yelling anything at the sky you're probably gonna sound a bit crazy /s

I still can't believe they essentially proved telepathy works and used it for 20 atleast years for missions with collaborative evidence.
