The list is endless. Similarly, intelligence agencies worldwide operate outside the law. Although there aren't any ex-"intelligence" heads of state... well, that's not entirely true. Throughout history, those in power have often lied to those they govern, and it's a crucial aspect of their operation. However, using torture, violence, false flag operations, and being an adversary to one's own people isn't necessary, except when it's deemed necessary for the "greater good." It's a dark rabbit hole that can shatter one's faith in society, and even asking questions can lead you down that path. Therefore, most of us turn a blind eye to it. Undermining one authority can undermine the credibility of all authority because all authority is built on faulty logic and falsehoods, despite being a necessary component of a functioning state. I forgot to mention this sucks.
