    I know I sound crazy when I tell people about shit like MK Ultra and other crimes against humanity that the CIA has straight-up admitted to :doomjak:

      I guess it's because of I'm not a yank, but I find the MKUltra tortures far less concerning that all the funding, training and direction of death squads all around colonized countries to keep them being colonies.

        I'm not a yank either, I just mentioned that as the first thing that popped into my head as one of the more 'out there' crimes of the CIA . Operation Paperclip, the disruption of the 1948 Italian election, Operation PBSuccess, the installation of Syngman Rhee and the subsequent massacres of communists, etc. are all far more terrifying from a materialist perspective.

      They admit to stuff as damage control when they think it might get leaked, they'll release just enough to get attention but then not enough to admit to the worst of it, which means that our picture of bizarre CIA terror is an incomplete under representation.
