Two CIA officers die in Mexico accident after counternarcotics operation

Chihuahua is definitely not an oil rich state, manufacturing and livestock yes, oil? Thats the southern part of Mexico.

And dumbass redneck Albertans are willingly supporting it. Absolutely infuriating

Oil in Chihuahua?

There is an american funded (allegedly?) separatist group who want a white christian alberta where they ignore treaties with indigenous canadians so old the treaties pre-date canada. Their most important ideals are get rid of free health care, gut education, hurt the lgbt+ community, and join the states. Its typical populist fascist drivel. They used to be home to the freedumb convoy that shut down ottawa for way too long, but now they have devolved to this worse creation: maple maga. It's like women voting against their own rights in the states, this is less intelligent people being grifted and conned to vote against their own best interest. The plan seems to be lifted from the russian playbook, get a certain population to need the help and protection of mother usa to justify more aggressive means to break up the country. Most albertans are against a canadian divorce, but with the first past the post parliamentary system, a party with 35% support can win a majority. The actual maple maga fascists are only arount 10% of the country, but with hotbeds in the prairies (especially alberta and saskatchewan) and a little in ontario.. Separation does not have majority support but they do have a crazy premier who won a majority and who is trying her best to destroy alberta, canada, and enrich herself, including an attempt to force a referendum to try destroy more. She travels to washington regilarly to meet with mid-tier magas. Most canadians consider danielle smith and her mouth breathing followers as traitors to the country.

Don't be surprised if this fallout is ideally what the current U.S. admin was hoping for to expand border operations even further. RIP to those spooks.

> this is different because the federal government in Mexico bans it Technically most countries ban it, but also most countries do this. It's the entire purpose of governments foreign secret services.

People love to believe that the CIA is made up of superhumans when their training and expertise is more similar to that of USPS, but a little less competitive to join

That was back when the US and its intelligence arms were overseen by competent people with the ability to think long term.

Oh great, just what we need is another war with an oil exporting country to really explode the global energy crisis.

True, although my understanding is that has been a problem regardless of who sits in the White House.

Yeah but the people who command him are not, and that creates a perverse environment where a competent person in an insane environment must act with carefully-planned incompetence, which makes the organization incompetent. I don't envy the man but at the same time he chose this life for himself.

Yeah she was fantastic. Seeing a capable and competent person be completely lost and basically terrified of the unknown was a great way to bring us into that world. The second movie had a different director and lacked this role, it was basically reduced to a regular action thriller.

not even steering... just the sudden loss of power by killing the engine when approaching a steep curve may be enough for someone to have an accident if they don't, it's unlikely they'll assume anything other than a mechanical failure was experienced

Notoriously were caught eavesdropping at least a decade ago. You can only imagine that they’re able to do now.

Unrelated to the car in this case, but this is why it is WILD to me that people see what Musk is doing and still drive their Teslas. An “I bought this before Elon was an a******” sticker is a) not true and b) not going to stop his friends from turning your car into their personal RC toy

With that assumption, if they could get my coffee started in the morning and have my laundry done by the time I got home I may just reconsider my feelings towards them.

easy there bud

Our pastor said winkylinks is bad cause folks become corrupt when they get more knowledge, that's how come we got kicked out of the garden of eden

I think you're one of the first I've seen recall bourgeoisie correctly. It seems every single time people have tried to explain the upper echelons of society as the proletariat / bourgeoisie as blue collar. Which is of course ass backwards. F*** the system doesn't have to be exclusive to a single political side, when theyre all complicit in f****** over everyone not them.

Still weird they picked Nancy Reagan to be the face of feeding the ~~slave~~ prison industry. I guess she needed to compete with the Betty Ford Clinic?

Abbie Hoffman reference!

Or that the agency profiled and hired a guy who's very likely to die in an accidental accident in the next X years.
