You think that the USA has never employed it's three letter agencies to protect its interests?


I'm kind of confused by his comment. Isn't it common knowledge (and even admitted) that American three letter agencies protect their interests at almost full cost?

The fbi had plans to assassinate MLK, and the cia led how many revolutions.


Some people still live in denial. I can surely see CIA paying a visit to Ghana's officials.


You can see that because you’re knee deep in conspiracy theories. I’m not in denial I’m just informed on foreign policy and know that these agencies don’t just overthrow governments because they make financial decisions like this. That’s an ignorant meme that lacks any real analysis of foreign policy.


It's just history(i.e [1] )not conspiracy theories. We are past that. Same thing about surveillance. It used to be "conspiracy theories" but wikileaks and Snowden showed us that the truth is even worse.

How about “America invades nation because it moves away from the dollar” is a complete bunk conspiracy theory and I was calling it out. It has 0 basis in reality and is peddled by anti-America types.

It’s common knowledge to the unknowledgeable, which was my point about credibility. it’s a meme and that’s it.

Not what I said. Petrodollar conspiracies are not that, plenty of nations move away from the dollar without “3 letter agencies” and only the uninformed are unaware of this.
