      I trust internal CIA sources because they are at the basic level, an intelligence agency. Without accurate intel internally, they would not be able to function very well. Reports published to the public are suspect, but not internal documents

      But then if the CIA releases some anti-USSR or anti-China propaganda, they switch to “Look, the CIA said that USSR and China are bad. Take that, evil tankie.”

      I despise to death the CIA, but i cannot refuse the fact that they are 99% speaking the truth with the right info on their inside reports, because why would they lie for themselves?

        because they gain personally the most from putting down others. There are also a fuckton of mormons they recruit, so many are already effectively colonized in their minds.
