It’s incredible how many things have gone from “insane conspiracy theory” to “yes, declassified documents prove that the CIA actually did this”.
Makes me wonder what things they’re doing right now that might be declassified in a few decades… Makes me wonder what things they’ve done that were so fucked up that they still haven’t declassified them.
I regularly wonder how much of the dark sci-fi we’ve been cooking up over the years is just unaware documentary.
There’s this reporter, Ross Coulthart, started going off about aliens and UFOs and telepathy and weird shit recently. He is an award winning investigative reporter who got turned into an alien reporter.
Well I noticed one day he starts talking about the GATE program (gifted and talented education) and testing children for psionic ability… Then i remember my parents trying to get me to try out for GATE and taking me to some weird building where they gave me weird psychic tests…
I failed them, but it proved to me that life is way stranger than we give it credit for. Yes, there are secret government programs looking for telepathic children. I’ve seen proof. That’s probably just the tip of iceberg if so.
The MK Ultra program being real is fucking insane.
The fact they still employ “far seers” is also insane, and I don’t know if it’s insane because they use absolute bogus things seriously, or if that shit is actually real somehow. Like there has to be reason they have 'em still, you know?
Can’t believe none asked yet: what’s your favorite four? I in the comments I see Pokemon Go, MK Ultra, Project Stargate. Not even four!
MK Ultra on its own could count for several.
Was the experiment where they released some “harmless pathogen” (assuming your immune system is all good!) in major cities to see how they spread, resulting in some deaths/complications part of MK Ultra? Can’t remember if it was under that project or part of a different one leading up to it.
The Iran/contras were CIA.
Oh also the Iranian revolution, or at least the instability that led to it.
Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden both started as CIA assets that got tired of being used.
A lot of attempts on Fidel Castro’s life.
That’s off the top of my head. There’s also a bunch of fuckery in central and south America, though if I had to guess, I would guess that there has been fuckery in every single country on this planet, including countries some would have called allies. Iirc they targeted some Canadian cities for that “release the pathogen” experiment, too.
There’s the fuckery in Australia, like with Pine Gap and that one prime minister they had fired
The family jewels documents are nice. After the cia had former employees “slightly” involved in Watergate, the CIA sent out a memo asking everyone for their records on things that happened that probably would be illegal.
It’s like a short story collection of weird criminal shit. “We kidnapped this Russian for three years. Why? Well, he said he wanted to leave the Soviet Union after spying for us for a while and we thought that was suspicious, so we locked him in a room for a few years.”. “We gave a bunch of poison to the Mafia and had them wander around Havana” “we weren’t technically allowed to do that with the telephone”
Pre-cia there was the radioactive foxes.
Finally is the weirdly open CIA investment company inqtel.
