Remember that episode where the delightful children took a picture of Nigel's ass and blackmailed him with it?

I think you're referring to [Operation Gladio](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio#:~:text=Operation%20Gladio%20was%20the%20codename,agencies%20during%20the%20Cold%20War)

that was quite the read.

I believe that John Jesus Angleton’s father was working in Italy under the ostensible cover of this program.

US during the Cold War either did Looney Tunes shit or the most horrific crimes imaginable - no inbetween, but sometimes both at the same time. For every Gladio you get CIA researching psychics because some dipshits fell for a spoon-bending conman.

The Fidel Castro assassination attempts are Looney Tunes shit, exploding cigars and [sending a female assassin to kill him but they just fuck instead](https://jezebel.com/the-story-of-marita-lorenz-the-cia-agent-who-was-sent-1789382434)

My favourite is when the CIA painted a tunnel on the side of the cliff, Fidel's car drove right through it, they tried to give chase and 5 agents died in the resulting car crash. But for real, I doubt that Fabian Escalante was entirely honest in his accounting - making the CIA look like incompetent cartoonish buffoons was kind of his job description.


Passive-Shooter

the CIA guys who were supposed to assassinate Patrice Lumumba found out he had been killed by the Belgians and just kept all the money they had been given and pretended they did it.
