I can’t help but reflect how much of the tragedy, conflict, and war in human history has been caused by these agencies run amok.
What’s striking about these MKUltra type programs is the magnitude of horrible things stemming from a relatively small number of clandestine operatives doing insane experiments on the population.
Based in the article in The Times yesterday, I’d say we can confidently add global pandemic to this list, and a reminder that the US doesn’t have a monopoly on this particularly deranged form of violence.
Up until 2019 I’d say the USA was the worst offender, but let’s hope no one ever catches up to what China did in Wuhan.

Maybe on par with the amount that has been caused by yellow journalism (e.g. the Spanish-American war, anti-ethnicity political cartoons). Most of anything "caused" by them is not from them running amok, but from them doing the job they were ordered to do by higher officials. And, of course, we only rarely see what they prevented from happening.

- rowanG077 3y agoDid I miss something? Was it confirmed that Covid-19 was deliberately released by the chinese?
- dennis_jeeves1 3y agoNope, didn't quite mean that. What I meant was the overall gravity of what was the pandemic. Quite possible that something that happened in one place was much more serious, or even totally different in other place, and in other places it was life as usual. For me the jury is out there, if indeed there was a pathogen out there. For all you know it could have been a radiation leak. In other cases it could have been cases of cold or flu. What I can confidently say is that it was not the pandemic of large proportions as it was made out to be. (no one I knew died). What I can also confidently say is that no one can really say with a high degree of certainty that it was a virus, the tests (PCR) are flaky, the symptoms can be attributed to many things etc. etc.
