I had to do some serious convincing to inform my mom about the CIA’s involvement in Contra cocaine trafficking.

Not even their worst or most prolific drug running scam. For anyone interested “operation gladio.” The CIA ran the herion game out of Myanmar, with the mob, from about 1944 onwards. Myanmar used to be the worlds largest producer of herion, until Afghanistan overtook them sometime in the late 00s / early 10s…
Now, I’m not saying China are the good guys or anything here. However, if I wanted to stop a rouge security agency from selling herion to fund secret, illegal wars around the world, I’d flood their neighbours with fentanyl.

That’s the best thing about the stuff that the CIA has done: they publicly admit to it in writing and people still refuse to believe it’s true
