“Very, very senior” officials in the Trump administration have had secret meetings with far-right Canadian separatists trying to shake the foundations of the country. The covert meetings between high-ranking U.S. officials and the Alberta Prosperity Project come as a widening rift appears between Canadian leadership and the White House. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney used a speech in Davos, Switzerland, last week to call out President Trump for creating a “rupture” in the existing world order.

The short term gains are also questionable. But hey, the cruelty is the point, otherwise they wouldn’t work with the moonies to fund right-wing death squads.
Which is the real scary part. See, the CIA as a governmental agency, is subject to at least some oversight. See the Church Commission, the Rockefeller Commission, and half dozen others where funding for the CIA has been cut or shifted to other agencies that sometimes actually care about the people in various countries, and not what the John Birch Soceity wants.
But the CIA has a very close relationship with non-governmental groups, often based in other countries, that do care what the John Birch Society wants.
Most of that progress has been undone by Trump, but for a time, the CIA was more focused on, well, their version of professionalism. After the Soviet Union fell, the anti-communist nonsense fell out of favor. The 90s were them scrambling to figure out what the fuck was going on, and then after 2001 it was pure anti-muslim, and they mostly ignored a lot of the areas they had been fucking around in before in order to focus on fucking up Iraq and Afghanistan.
They get blamed for every coup and popular revolution, when according to wikileaks and the much better DDoSecrets (and the more than $7 Million spent on repeated Benghazi hearings), they’re constantly getting caught with their pants down.
