My favorite is when people start ba[L]king at these things and write you off as a conspiracy nut.

Like my brother in Slaanesh, these are the things they admit they've done.

This spent several decades as a conspiracy theory on par with ufos. Then some people stole some government records and it’s now stiff they admit to

Three letter agencies are not elected and tyrannical by default.

DNC

I mean if we're going to call them out, nobody elected these fucking parties, either one of them.

Who in the ever loving fuck did we put in charge of this‽

[–] grue@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Literal NAZIs (i.e., Operation Paperclip), duh! It even says so right there in the screed, about 3/4 of the way down.

(I don't know if that's actually true -- we have plenty of home-grown sick fucks for the job -- but it's funny, right?)

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I thought paperclip was to bring scientists over to copy Germany's rocket science homework not to import Nietzsche being a raving mad coke fiend

[–] grue@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Von Braun and the rocket scientists were the most famous part, but not all 1,600 were involved in aerospace specifically.

Here are some relevant snippets from the Wikipedia article on it:

Scientists taken were often involved in the Nazi rocket program, aviation, and chemical and biological warfare.

The operation was not solely focused on rocketry; efforts were directed toward synthetic fuels, medicine, and other fields of research.

Operation Paperclip was part of a broader strategy by the US to harness German scientific talent in the face of emerging Cold War tensions, ensuring this expertise did not fall into the hands of the Soviet Union or other nations.

Anyway, I don't know that any of them ended up doing fucked-up stuff for the CIA, and was making a joke. But like many jokes, the kernel of plausibility is part of what makes it funny.

[–] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It was. But on Lemmy anything you say that makes the US look bad gets upvoted.

Soc 100: for a society to correct a problem, a major portion of that society first have to agree an issue is a problem. This will naturally lead to a state of anomie.

The CIA is likely also responsible for Neptune. When Neptune was first photographed, it was royal blue. The CIA has committed decades of ridiculous things since then. Now neptune is a shitty pale blue. I don't think it's a coincidence. The CIA ruined Neptune.

Are we cursed to carry barbarism wherever we go?

[–] uservoid1@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

It is so fucked up that one can't believe it's not a total fiction. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra and friends

[–] gimpchrist@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Well now I just want to join the CIA and do cocaine all day

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Agreed mostly, although I think the in-office dosing was usually done randomly. So you never knew, if after your morning coffee, you'd be tripping the rest of the day.

Although I'm only going off of articles I've read. Not condoning or trying to diminish all the war crimes the CIA and other 3 letter organizations have committed.

On a side note, if you were unexpectedly dosed, did they just let them drive home? I guess it was the 50s-70s.......so if you could physically make a car move.....you're....fine?
