Prepare for all the liberal newspapers suddenly discovering Israel has been doing war crimes and feeling a lot of sympathy for Palestinians.

    That was not true nor has it ever been true. The CIA cannot operate on US soil. It was US military intelligence that oversaw everything as part of the PATRIOT Act.

      Bruh do you want me to list every single time they’ve done this lol.

      CIA is the main US military intelligence arm. They have their own dedicated Wikipedia article on publicly exposed projects that they most definitely did domestically.

      Regardless though yes, the patriot act itself opens up practically any government agency into doing whatever it wants.

        Yeah MK ultra involved some CIA agents just going around and roofying random or targeted people with LSD and various other substances while also tripping themselves pretty much just for the fuck of it. There was nothing scientific about it. Most of the notes that were taken were destroyed because they knew that if word got out about what they were doing, it would make a lot of people angry. Iirc, the evidence that was collected only still existed because one of the people running it had a bunch of them in his home when it was searched for other shady shit he was up to.
