The fact that the US orchestrated a coup in 1953 proves that the US is also orchestrating this coup today? That's the argument?

- pazimzadeh 4y agoIt obviously means there's reason to be suspicious. It took 60 years for the US to admit its role in the 1953 coup.
- darawk 4y agoReason to be suspicious, sure. Just not reason to draw that conclusion firmly.
- pazimzadeh 4y agoI agree. I am sure that the hack boosted the morale of many protestors. It is tragic but us normals have no way of determine the degree to which it was inside job. Who is going to trust the CIA, etc if they deny it? Especially when there are US agencies posting videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA4e0NqyYMw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA4e0NqyYMw
- darawk 4y agoYa, we can't really know, but I think it's fair to say that powerful though the CIA is, they can't synthesize these kinds of protests from nothing. So, even if the CIA did hack these TV stations to aid the protesters, it's something that could just as easily have been done organically too, so I'm not sure it really matters whether they did or didn't.
