They had their hands in a whole lot of pies. The CIA was the OG Wingnut Welfare Program.
In the modern day, their wings have been clipped. You’re far more likely to get your beak wet off the back of a Miriam Adelson or Peter Thiel pet project. But back in the 60s/70s? Whether you were churning out some Hollywood pro-paramilitary Chuck Norris slop or running China White through a Texas air-force base or funding the trafficking of child prostitutes through a ponzi scheme in Omaha, Nebraska, the CIA was a great place to raise some seed money.
i think i remember a few "shushushush honey your friends are not a cia psyop"s growing up, but in different terms
some of my friends in school, well, i found out a friend of a friend’s dad was at the ATF writing the stupidest opinions known to man and another friend’s dad was working at the NSA. The dude we knew at the CIA, well it was the cooking school not the spy agency. I kind of feel justified in a lil bit of paranoia.
People keep telling me “not everything you dislike is a CIA psyop” but every other day I learn something else that sucks is a CIA psyop.

Sigh. Even psy-ops have been privatized.
