The CIA is up to no good in Mexico

voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 07 Jun 00:40 next collapse

I think the “…in mexico” bit is a tad superfluous

frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io on 07 Jun 01:28 next collapse

What good does the CIA do anywhere, ever?

brbposting@sh.itjust.works on 07 Jun 04:57 next collapse

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

mlg@lemmy.world on 07 Jun 08:31 collapse

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

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

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

Dearth@lemmy.world on 07 Jun 05:06 next collapse

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 on 07 Jun 14:04 collapse

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

Wait you’re telling me the CIA is interfering with a Spanish speaking country!? I’m shocked! SHOCKED!

kunaltyagi@programming.dev on 07 Jun 08:50 next collapse

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

ripcord@lemmy.world on 07 Jun 11:07 next collapse

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

frongt@lemmy.zip on 07 Jun 12:19 collapse

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

MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip on 07 Jun 12:18 next collapse

Yeah, no shit.

psycotica0@lemmy.ca on 07 Jun 14:16 next collapse

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!

Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world on 07 Jun 14:39 next collapse

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

HugeNerd@lemmy.ca on 07 Jun 14:45 collapse

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