Lol good one bro you sound just like someone who just uses a bunch of words without actually understanding what they mean. It’s not like you nor the OP mentioned anything about policy. And you definitely got a legitimate counterpoint about the character of the CIA that is relevant to understanding how the world works today. It’s easy to dismiss claims about the CIA if you’ve never actually read anything about how they’ve operated for decades.
If you are interested in understanding why people make those claims about the CIA, I will suggest reading “The Brothers” by Stephen Kinzer or “The Jakarta Method” by Vincent Bevins. It’s pretty sobering. I also highly recommend the podcast series “Blowback” particularly season 2. You know since I know it’s important to someone like yourself to be educated on the stuff you talk about.
I don’t know why you’re working so hard to defend the same agency that cooked up operation paperclip and mkultra. Like those three letter agencies didn’t do even more bonkers shit during the cold war in the name of defending capitalism. Like they haven’t declassified documents admitting to it. But uh, go off or whatever.

Sorry didn’t realize you were a true believer™ let’s try to remember we have the same goals even though it’s for different reasons!
