- happyjack 4y agoYou realize that the CIA exist to keep international interests in line, and the FBI exists for domestic tranquility?
- zizee 4y agoYou think that the USA has never employed it's three letter agencies to protect its interests?
- happyjack 4y agoI'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.
- themihai 4y agoSome people still live in denial. I can surely see CIA paying a visit to Ghana's officials.
- edgyquant 4y agoYou 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.
- themihai 4y agoIt'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.

- edgyquant 4y agoHow 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. https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/m9sll7/why_nations_dont_get_invaded_debunking/ https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/m9sll7/why_nati...
- edgyquant 4y agoNot 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.
- themihai 4y agoIndeed, right? Funny fact: Wikileaks is blocked my ISP (in Europe). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_Guatemalan_coup_d%27état https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_Guatemalan_coup_d%27éta...
- sbaiddn 4y agoWhen was it not true? And, frankly, thats their bloody job.
- Gustomaximus 4y ago2 points. 1) Please keep this site as a place for discussion and throw information rather than insults. 2) A three letter agency seems believable to me. Do you remember what happened in Libya 2011? It is believed this was in a large part due to their planned move to an afro dollar. https://theecologist.org/2016/mar/14/why-qaddafi-had-go-african-gold-oil-and-challenge-monetary-imperialism https://theecologist.org/2016/mar/14/why-qaddafi-had-go-afri...

- happyjack 4y agoThis article is amazing. It sums up my questions I had for why Libya was invaded / destroyed, as well as some commentary on Iraq. I think it's really scary that the powers at be can destroy your 6 million person country overnight.
- edgyquant 4y agoYou want me to keep it safe for discussion, while downvoting me for calling out easily disproved conspiracies? I think your priorities are out of whack here. There’s lots of complaints about Us policy: that they overthrow nations to uphold the petrodollar is not one of them. How about reading an actual analysis instead of continuing a meme that was never true https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/m9sll7/why_nations_dont_get_invaded_debunking/ https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/m9sll7/why_nati...
