What good does the CIA do anywhere, ever?

brbposting@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 79d (1 reply)

They’d tell us but we don’t have clearance!

mlg@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 79d

They probably won't tell us anymore even with clearance after the doofus pentagon intern used his access for memes on his discord channel.

They provide intelligence to military ops caused by their own interventions

Destabilize governments it doesn't like.

They provided the world factbook which was a great online reference for schoolkids in the 90s.

The CIA has been up to no good in Mexico since the CIA was started.

frongt@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 79d

And before that when it was the OSS, I'm sure. And in other countries.

Are you also saying it is definitely not worse than ever?

ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 78d (2 replies)

Its been worse. They used to have some competent employees.

ripcord@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 78d (1 reply)

It just comes across like somebody saying "the planet has been getting hotter for millennia. So why should we care that it's gotten way way worse recently"

ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 77d

Its bad, but do you not rember how we got the current cartels?

voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 30 pts · 80d

I think the "..in mexico" bit is a tad superfluous

psycotica0@lemmy.ca · 17 pts · 79d

Up to no good???

In related news Israel is causing some mischief in the West Bank, and the Germans were real troublemakers in the early 40s. Some reports go so far as to call them scoundrels!

Was Mexico chillin' out maxin', relaxin' all cool, shooting some b-ball outside of the school?

Water is wet.

MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip · 10 pts · 79d

Yeah, no shit.

HugeNerd@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 79d

I've been assured the CIA is simply a news gathering organization.

Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 79d

Only in Mexico?

Mormons just can't catch a break.

On the other hand they are kinda helping expose the corruption of the narcogovernment. So not all bad.

Dearth@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 79d (2 replies)

No, they came up with convincing language to convince you that what was happening in that country was bad and needed policing

Meanwhile, the real narcogovernment is helping their narcofriends:

Pretty sure that having narco governors actually is a bad thing on its face. No convincing required...

Weird how that became a priority not but a couple months after the universal healthcare implementation started…

pneumatron@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 79d (3 replies)

We've had universal healthcare since the 60s. Idk what you mean BB Edit: I was wrong. It started in the 40s

Stories about how universal healthcare is being created by Sheinbaum like this, so forgive me for the confusion:

Stories is the keyword there. As I stated earlier, we have had universal healthcare for over 80 years. We have 2 health systems, a public workers and a private workers. ISSSTE and IMSS, respectively. She wants to merge. That is all. She didn't create shit. In fact those institutions have never been as Underfunded as they are under this party rule..

What Morena is good for is propaganda and bots. Bunch of corrupt fucks. Literal narcogovernment
