To the Authoritarian/reactionary left, the CIA is not just the US inteligence agency. Rather its this omnipresent shadowy entity that is both very incompetent and also the source of all evil and in particular its the source of any and all narratives that they dont agree with.— Lilithxrmx (@lilithxrmx) February 19, 2021
I think MK-Ultra is a good example of this. There are a lot of people who know about it, but only as agents bumbling around putting LSD in each other's coffee, not developing torture techniques they later exported around the world. I'm sure the CIA prefers the former.
And the only reason we even know THAT is because they archived 20k pages or so in the financial building by accident. The rest of the info was all destroyed for being way too spicy, I imagine.

I mean, what we know about MKULTRA is what CIA decided to release about it. It's not a coincidence.
