What a waste of space humans are. Just think of where we could be if all the effort was put towards doing good instead of bad. There's a reason why people climb clock towers but unfortunately they never get those who deserve it. We're absolutely fucked and most people are wearing ass hats

Mad respect for actual getting waterboarded for the video

Missed a few spots, like installing Pinochet and removing Mossadegh.

Known about this for some time, but a ton of people don't. Yep, the CIA seriously screwed up SO MUCH when they decided to mess around. They messed around and sadly the American people are finding out.
MeticulouslyCareless
Damn, the Burn Notice prequel series looks lit.

Amazingly accurate

That beat slaps though.

Did they tho? The CIA is better-funded than ever and still operating with 0 oversight.
rusrsdude
Sounds like most of the big corporations out there. Repercussions? Nah. Funding? Yes.
IDontWantToWorkToday
Helluva music choice Khruangbin helluva band. Especially bc their band is amongst others inspired by 1970s Afghan funk music genre.
FoxAffair
CIA is just playing the long game. We're not sure what that means, but we're pretty sure it involves gorillas.
DutchGuyMike
Gotta love knowing they would investigate the CIA's MKUltra, only for them to burn almost all papers relating to it. Almost as if they were doing the worst shit imaginable (Sirran Sirran springs to mind) and being in league with most of the drug trade and revolutions that occur on the planet.
Piotheman
Thank this dude for this concise documentary.
beeeeeeerkaaaaa
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
gtotherizzle
I mean....it's just a cooking school...
mothmam
Concise & accurate
CormacTheCat
If anything, it was too concise. They left out a whole bunch of heinous shit the CIA are responsible for...

There's a Weird Al for this! https://youtu.be/C-CG5w4YwOI

There's also a Trevor Moore for this! https://youtu.be/0-Lvv1f5Qu4
HighMagosSquidward
Let's not forget about MK Ultra

Pigs oops police. That got me lol

As someone born in the 80s, they fucked about and I was the one who found out. Not fair...but (plays Frank Sinatra)

TheSilverSeraph
Some call it blowback. Others have called it karma for centuries
adognamedpumpkin
I thought it was collateral damage.
hoopsnek
Chalmers Johnson called it Blowback
Eli93
It's neither. They achieved their goal. Hell, most of those things are bonuses to them. Job security, helping them be racist against Muslims and black people, allowing the US to have "justification" for another war... They love this shit.
pareidoliaperson
It's as planned.
Infinias
That's the point. Not like any of this is not going according to plan. (Not all of it was planned but the CIA is an opportunistic bunch of assholes)
DSREX
And some people wonder why we are openly and deeply hated by whole regions of the world. Add in US Foreign policy (Amazingly Fascist) and the ability for the US to wage Economic War, the only reason that the entire world has not tried to kick in our teeth is because we made ourselves the single point of failure for every economy on the planet. It would be brilliant if it was not so evil.
AltruisticDefenestrator
And the CIA just calls it "bummer that people found out".
Provideniya
"Took them damned long tho"
youreathing
They have 1 purpose. De-stabilize governments to advance US interests. By any means necessary. Sanctioned terrorism.
Fyreworx
Bold of you to assume the CIA cares enough to be upset about any of this.
jgbaby
If they could read, they would be very upset by this!
GingerLaird
They're really only upset because they forgot to train the dogs of war that they raised.
Eldis
This is as funny to the CIA as it is to us, just from a different perspective. "Yeah, we did that. It was pretty fucked up LMAO."
Absent
Why be upset, secret operations are perfect for pocketing state money.

Yeah, it’s not like it hurt any banana companies or anything
hoopsnek
The CIA only looks out for one guy
Also, have you heard of the Nugan Hand Bank? /gallery/Fz6ybJa
hoopsnek
onlyawfulnamesleft
Yeah, we managed to get the US diplomat corps to *promise* to not overthrow our government in the future after this.
wartoaster
Upset? This is a recruitment program!
MicahtheMartian
So yes. But also the problem in these scenarios was CIA thought all they needed to do was support the opposition. There was no forethought in stabilization after the objective waa achieved. (Annnnnd corruption within CIA but that's another matter)
Fedotia
They just supported destabilization against countries not aligned with US interests.
CannotBeBanned
That's just a general problem with Americans no though. No forethought ever
captSmooth
Maria Tambien - Khruangbin is the song if anyone was interested.
Odb718
They're my 2nd fav right behind Daikaiju!
BentwanJameson
I saw them at Red Rocks a couple years ago, amazing show.
The72ndRaven
Fuck. Bruh, that band is so damn good!
TheRealLouzander
I was, and thank you.
Sprezzaturca
That band is fucking gold.
caedescorvidus
Friends saw them in DC last year, I'm bummed that I missed it
IwishKimPinewasmygirlfriend
Agreeeeeeeed.
HypoMix
only 1947? that doesn't sound right...
pandemicpolemic
Prior to that it was the OSS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Strategic_Services The history of espionage in the 40-50s is fascinating.
hogeyegrex
Check out how incredibly stupid and weird the removal of Mossadegh by Kermit Roosevelt was.
HypoMix
ah, cheers.
