"you are showing your ignorance" is one of those huffy little zingers that pairs well with a post that says the dumbest fucking shit you have ever heard.

Operation Phoenix (death squads)

Two types of people say stuff like this: the ones who get paid not to remember, and the ones who literally can't remember anything from like three years ago. I'm going out of my mind daily.

There were just a few bad apples in the CIA and they've hardly bothered anyone since then

it's basically "they were bad...until i got a job there"

The last known attempt on Castro’s life was in 2000

*watching Lumumba dissolve in a barrel* huh, seems "crappy"

lol I just noted that

I mean this with all disrespect to the agents involved but, at least they had some sense of gravity re: overthrowing leftist governments

also the use of “crappy” is killing me. argh did we overthrow a democratically elected leader in a central american country again to install our fascist puppet. sorry. that was really crappy of us.

We were just being a little problematic trying to get MLK to kill himself and then finishing the job ourselves

We're so annoying

anyway read Legacy of Ashes by Tim Weiner

The key takeaway for me from that book is how incompetent the CIA was (and presumably still is)

Hey now, anybody could have missed the collapse of the Soviet Union

we were CHEUGY

“Some shady things”? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

why does she think we had to "look forward, not back" anyway? someone make her watch 'Taxi to the Dark Side' clockwork orange style

To paraphrase a smarter person than me: Nothing I will ever learn about the CIA can be wilder than what I already know about the CIA.
