As much fun as it is to laugh at Castro's exploding cigars or whatever, I think the narrative of CIA as a bunch of incompetents is actually pretty harmful to the left. Sure they've done a few really dumb things, but they've been incredibly fucking effective in staging coups, assassinations, and all sorts of other horrific shit, like look into pretty much every bad thing in the last 70-odd years and it's bound to have their grubby little pawprints all over it. That's a pretty fucking good strikerate, and painting them as incompetent can make us lose sight of just how effective they've been at fucking up the world

I think MK-Ultra is a good example of this. There are a lot of people who know about it, but only as agents bumbling around putting LSD in each other's coffee, not developing torture techniques they later exported around the world. I'm sure the CIA prefers the former.

I mean, what we know about MKULTRA is what CIA decided to release about it. It's not a coincidence.

And the only reason we even know THAT is because they archived 20k pages or so in the financial building by accident. The rest of the info was all destroyed for being way too spicy, I imagine.
