The Conspiracy Is Real—Just Not The One You Think
Stumbled on some interesting quotes today: “Most terrorists are false flag terrorists, or are created by our own security services. In the United States, every single terrorist incident we have had, has been a false flag, or has been an informant pushed on by the FBI. “
- David Steele, Marine Intelligence Officer and former CIA officer
The CIA and FBI “are behind most, if not all terrorism.”
- Ted Gunderson, former FBI Chief
“The CIA formed ISIS.”
- Wayne Madsen, former Naval Officer and NSA Officer
“The CIA is funding ISIS through secret Swiss Bank accounts.”
- Dr Scott Bennett, Army Intelligence Officer
“30 FBI agents checked into the Mandalay Bay Hotel, 2 days before the shooting in Las Vegas.”
- Jim Stone, editor
Let’s get this out of the way:
- No, the CIA didn’t stage the Mandalay Bay shooting.
- No, there’s no evidence it was a “false flag.”
- And no, they’re not coming for your guns
(Also - can we stop pretending guns are needed to stand up against a tyrannical government? There’s a tyrannical government right in front of our eyes and the people with the guns are cheering them on.)
But you know what is true?
The CIA has destabilized entire regions of the world, toppled democratically elected governments, armed jihadists, fueled civil wars, and directly caused the migrant crises the U.S. now pretends to be shocked by.
So if you’re looking for conspiracy with a body count — Don’t look to Vegas. Look to Tehran. Guatemala City. Saigon. Baghdad. Tripoli. Kabul.
This post isn’t about defending the official story. It’s about burning the unofficial one to the ground—and replacing it with cold, brutal facts.
The truth is worse than your uncle’s meme. It’s documented, declassified, and weaponized.
Let’s talk about the real deep state.
The Real Deep State
You want to talk “deep state”?
The modern American empire got its black-ops license in 1947, when the National Security Act created the CIA and the National Security Council. Truman thought he was building an information hub—he accidentally created a global coup machine 1.
Within a few years, the CIA had already ditched its role as glorified analysts. Why analyze when you can assassinate?
That wasn’t a fringe drift—it was by design. Covert operations became standard toolkit for enforcing U.S. influence without the messy PR of sending Marines.
That meant:
- Rigging foreign elections
- Toppling democratically elected governments
- Propping up dictators
- Arming extremist groups
- Flooding regions with weapons
- And when that didn’t work—just destabilizing the whole damn state
We’re not guessing. We know. Because declassified documents spilled the tea decades ago. You can read the CIA’s internal memos where they gamed out propaganda ops, assassination plans, and black-budget coups 2.
And they knew there’d be fallout. Even the CIA had a word for it: blowback—the unintended consequences of secret operations coming back to bite the US in the ass 3.
You’d think we’d have learned. Instead, the U.S. has run this script over 70 times since 1945—each one a grenade we tossed into someone else’s living room, then acted surprised when refugees showed up on our porch 4.
💥 U.S. Covert Intervention by Decade (Confirmed Ops)
| Decade | Major Interventions | Targeted Region(s) |
|---|---|---|
| 1950s | Iran, Guatemala, Vietnam (early) | Middle East, Central America |
| 1960s | Congo, Brazil, Indonesia, Laos | Africa, SE Asia, Latin America |
| 1970s | Chile, Angola, Cambodia | Latin America, Africa, SE Asia |
| 1980s | Afghanistan, Nicaragua, El Salvador | South Asia, Central America |
| 1990s | Iraq (no-fly zones, covert ops), Yugoslavia | Middle East, Balkans |
| 2000s–2010s | Iraq (again), Libya, Syria | Middle East, North Africa |
Let’s stop pretending the CIA is some rogue faction hiding in the shadows. It’s a fully legalized wrecking crew, funded by Congress, protected by presidents, and praised by pundits—right up until the blowback hits.
How to Steal a Country in Three Easy Steps (CIA Edition)
The U.S. didn’t become a global superpower by minding its own business. It did it by flipping governments like used Hondas at a cartel auction. And guess who had the keys? The CIA.
From the Cold War onward, the US’s foreign policy tool of choice hasn’t been diplomacy—it’s been sabotage. Democracies, dictatorships, didn’t matter. If you got in the way of U.S. interests—especially oil or anti-communism—you got regime-changed.
Step 1: Call them a communist
It didn’t matter if they were democratically elected, socialist, nationalist, or just inconvenient. The CIA’s first move was always to slap the red scare label on them. Iran’s Mossadegh? Nationalized British oil. Guatemala’s Árbenz? Wanted land reform. Chile’s Allende? Tried taxing copper profits. All “communists.” All gone.
Step 2: Destabilize the economy
Next came the squeeze. Block loans. Crash their currency. Tank commodity prices. Fund strikes. If the CIA could make bread cost a day’s wages and blame it on the regime, they did. This tactic worked like a charm in Chile, where Nixon literally told the CIA to “make the economy scream” [1].
Step 3: Stage a coup, install a puppet
Once the target was weak and isolated, the CIA moved in. They funneled cash to opposition parties, armed militias, bribed generals, and unleashed propaganda to justify a coup. Iran in 1953, Guatemala in 1954, Chile in 1973—same playbook, different continent. All resulted in U.S.-friendly regimes—and brutal authoritarian rule [2].
📎 Based on declassified CIA operation manuals, internal memos, and historical case studies from Iran (1953), Guatemala (1954), and Chile (1973) [2].
And these weren’t isolated incidents. They were policy.
According to the Congressional Research Service, the U.S. has launched 469 foreign military interventions since 1798, with 251 since just 1991 [3]. Most weren’t Iraq-level invasions. They were low-cost, high-deniability operations. The kind the CIA was built for.
The blowback? Oh, we’ll get there. But first, let’s talk about who paid the price.
You Break It, They Flee It: How U.S. Interventions Fueled the Migrant Crisis
Every time a U.S. administration “liberates” a country, refugees start running the other way. Funny how that works.
Let’s talk Guatemala. After the CIA overthrew its elected government in 1954 to protect the United Fruit Company’s banana monopoly [2], the country plunged into a brutal 36-year civil war. U.S.-backed death squads wiped out entire indigenous villages [2]. The civil war left more than 200,000 dead and drove generations of Guatemalans north. Today, Guatemala is still one of the top sources of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Same story in El Salvador. Same in Honduras. The U.S. pumped money and weapons into military regimes that disappeared students and dumped bodies in rivers. Want to know why so many Salvadorans and Hondurans are seeking asylum today? Because our Cold War “freedom crusade” made their home countries unlivable [2].
Then came Iraq. Then Libya. Then Syria. Whole regions flattened. Governments shattered. Power vacuums filled by warlords and militias. Millions displaced. Millions more starving. And guess what? They’re not staying put for your convenience. They’re fleeing—to Europe, to the U.S., to anywhere not bombed into the Stone Age by a superpower trying to “restore order.”
| Country | U.S. Intervention(s) | Estimated Migrants Displaced or Fleeing | U.S. Border Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guatemala | 1954 coup, civil war support | 1.5 million+ | Top source of border crossings (2020s) |
| El Salvador | 1980s civil war support | Over 1 million | Ongoing asylum claims |
| Honduras | 1980s Contra staging, 2009 coup | 500,000+ | Surge in unaccompanied minors |
| Iraq | 1991 Gulf War, 2003 invasion | Over 9 million displaced | Some resettled, many regionally displaced |
| Syria | Support to rebels, anti-ISIS airstrikes | 14 million displaced | Mass regional migration; spillover to Europe |
So next time a buffoon yells “Why don’t they stay in their own countries?” maybe ask him how many coups, drone strikes, and IMF shock therapy plans he thinks their countries can survive first.
The Jihad Frankenstein: How U.S. Foreign Policy Built a Monster
You don’t get 9/11, ISIS, or the Taliban without one thing: American foreign policy.
Let’s rewind. In the 1980s, the CIA funneled billions of dollars into Afghanistan to give the Soviet Union “its own Vietnam.” The strategy? Arm the Mujahideen and let them bleed Moscow dry. It worked. Sort of. The Soviets got wrecked. But so did Afghanistan. And out of the rubble came a little group you may have heard of: the Taliban. And then, Al-Qaeda [2].
We didn’t just arm them. We radicalized them. We helped print jihadi schoolbooks promoting holy war—with U.S. taxpayer dollars [2]. The CIA handed Stinger missiles to warlords, while the ISI (Pakistan’s intelligence agency, our “ally”) handed them to the most extreme factions they could find. Nothing says “long-term stability” like handing advanced weaponry to people who think music is satanic.
| Operation | Goal | U.S. Tactic | Result | Blowback |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operation Cyclone (Afghanistan) | Bleed USSR | Arm Mujahideen via ISI | Soviet withdrawal, Afghan civil war | Taliban, Al-Qaeda, bin Laden |
| Iraq Invasion (2003) | Regime change, stop WMDs | Topple Saddam, disband army | Power vacuum, sectarian war | Birth of Al-Qaeda in Iraq → ISIS |
| Libya Intervention (2011) | Protect civilians, oust Gaddafi | NATO airstrikes, no post-war plan | State collapse, arms flood | ISIS stronghold in North Africa |
| Syria (post-2011) | Support rebels, fight ISIS | Train & equip, airstrikes, SDF alliance | Multi-sided civil war | ISIS caliphate, foreign fighter magnet |
ISIS didn’t just materialize out of thin air. It came out of the ashes of Iraq and spread through the chaos of Libya and Syria—three countries shattered by U.S. intervention. The people we funded to fight the Soviets became the same people who turned their weapons on us. The guys we “liberated” from Saddam became recruits for jihad. The weapons we dropped in Libya ended up in the hands of terrorists in Mali and Niger.
Hello, cause and effect. You arm the world, destabilize it, then act surprised when it explodes in your face.
Still think “they hate us for our freedom”?
From Junta to Juárez: How CIA Coups Birthed Today’s Border Crisis
When conservatives rant about “illegals” flooding the southern border, they’re screaming at the smoke, not the fire.
Let’s spell it out: the U.S. didn’t just destabilize Central America. We detonated it.
The 1954 CIA-backed coup in Guatemala didn’t just topple President Árbenz—it detonated a 36-year civil war. The regimes that followed, propped up by American money and training, massacred 200,000 people—many of them Indigenous Maya 2. A quarter-million fled. Sound familiar?
El Salvador? Same playbook. The U.S. spent the 1980s funneling over $4.5 billion into a military dictatorship and death squads that left over 75,000 dead 4. Honduras became a staging ground for the CIA’s Nicaraguan Contra ops—turning it into the narco-state launching pad it is today.
The result? Millions displaced. Families gutted. Generations traumatized. These people didn’t “invade” the U.S. They fled nations we wrecked—nations we kept wrecking long after the Cold War ended.
📉 Region-Wide Fallout
This isn’t ancient history. In fact, U.S. foreign policy today still operates like it’s 1985, just with shinier drones and a bigger PR team.
From Mujahideen to Manhattan
The United States didn’t invent Islamic extremism. But it did supercharge it—weaponize it, fund it, and call it freedom. And it all started in Afghanistan.
When the Soviet Union rolled into Kabul in 1979, Washington smelled blood. The Cold War was stalling, and Afghanistan was the perfect place to bleed the Soviets dry. Enter Operation Cyclone—a CIA-run, Pakistani-directed, Saudi-funded arms pipeline to the Afghan Mujahideen.
Here’s what that looked like:
The CIA didn’t directly hand Osama bin Laden a check. But they sure as hell built the world he thrived in.
- $3+ billion in covert support went through Pakistan’s ISI [2].
- That support heavily favored radical factions like Gulbuddin Hekmatyar’s Hezb-e-Islami—not moderates.
- U.S.-funded schoolbooks taught Afghan kids jihad, complete with illustrations of weapons and martyrdom [2].
When the Soviets limped out in 1989, the U.S. did too. Afghanistan collapsed into civil war. The Taliban took power. And the “Afghan Arabs”—foreign fighters like bin Laden—kept the jihad alive. Only now, the target wasn’t Moscow. It was us.
The World Trade Center. Twice.
How the Iraq War Turned Blowback into a Firestorm
By 2003, the CIA had already laid the kindling. All it took was the Bush administration to light the match—and they did it with a flamethrower.
The invasion of Iraq wasn’t just a blunder. It was an accelerant. Sold on lies about weapons of mass destruction and bogus Saddam–Al Qaeda connections, the U.S. toppled a secular dictator who, for all his brutality, kept a lid on sectarian chaos. Then we smashed the state into pieces and walked away like we hadn’t just unleashed hell.
The Two Orders That Broke Iraq
L. Paul Bremer, the man in charge of post-invasion Iraq, issued two orders that practically built ISIS from scratch:
- CPA Order 1: De-Baathification. Fired tens of thousands of civil servants, teachers, and technocrats just for being associated with Saddam’s party. Goodbye institutional memory. Hello bitterness and unemployment.
- CPA Order 2: Dissolution of the Iraqi Army. Took 400,000 armed, trained, suddenly unpaid soldiers and left them with zero future. Guess where they went?
Straight into the arms of Zarqawi’s insurgency. Many of them became the military backbone of what would morph into the Islamic State of Iraq, and eventually ISIS [2].
ISIS: Made in America (Sort Of)
Zarqawi’s group, Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), weaponized Sunni rage and sectarian divide. By 2006, they were bombing Shiite mosques, slaughtering civilians, and baiting a civil war. The U.S. “surge” tamped things down temporarily, but the damage was done.
By 2011, when U.S. troops finally left, AQI had evolved into ISIS. And when Syria descended into civil war, ISIS found its golden opportunity to metastasize into a cross-border jihadist death cult.
Want to know how we got ISIS? It wasn’t because “they hate our freedom.” It’s because we bulldozed Iraq, tossed the pieces to the wind, and left the region to burn.
From Migrants to Monsters: How U.S. Foreign Policy Bitters Its Own States
You can’t destabilize a continent and then complain when the fallout shows up at your doorstep. But that’s exactly what Republicans are doing.
For decades, U.S. policy turned Central America into a war zone and then acted shocked when people fled the carnage. Refugees from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras—they weren’t just looking for work. They were escaping narco-states, gang wars, and death squads, many of which we funded 2.
Now those same red states that cheered the invasions, funded the coups, and waved the flag for “freedom” are losing their minds over asylum seekers showing up at their borders.
The Irony Is Biblical
Let’s recap:
- Texas Republicans pushed for tough-on-crime, tough-on-drugs policies that fueled mass incarceration at home and militarization abroad.
- They cheered Reagan’s crusade in Nicaragua, Bush’s war on terror, and Trump’s border militarism.
- They cut foreign aid, gutted diplomatic support, and made sure there was no “nation building” after the bombs fell.
And now? They’re footing the bill for refugee housing, border security, and local policing in their own states.
The backlash? It’s eating them alive.
Want to stop the migrant surge? Maybe stop lighting the fuse in the first place.
Because you can’t carpet-bomb a hemisphere and then whine when the smoke drifts back across the Rio Grande.
When the Migrants Come Knocking
Let’s say the quiet part out loud: We broke it. They’re here to collect.
You don’t get to spend decades toppling governments, arming death squads, and collapsing economies—then act surprised when people flee the smoldering wreckage you left behind.
And yet, every election cycle, U.S. politicians froth at the mouth over a “border crisis” as if it fell out of the sky. Like Hondurans and Salvadorans just woke up one day and decided to walk a thousand miles for shits and giggles.
Let’s connect the dots:
1986
Reagan signs IRCA—amnesty for millions, but no fix for future flows. Employer sanctions added, enforcement weak.
1996
Clinton signs IIRIRA, expanding deportable offenses and 3/10-year bans for overstays [7].
2002
Bush Jr. creates DHS, folding immigration into national security. Legal entry becomes a security clearance test [3].
2012
Obama launches DACA. Also deports 3 million people, many with U.S. citizen kids [19].
2017–2021
Trump separates families, slashes refugee resettlement, guts asylum, and ramps up ICE raids [23].
2021–2024
Biden ends Title 42, but replaces it with CBP One. Digital border control + parole with no permanence [24] [25].
2025
Trump 2.0 starts with ICE raids, executive mass removals, and legal defiance of court orders [23].
Now? The same politicians who funded the bombs are crying about the refugees.
Worse: they’re blaming the migrants for a crisis we created.
So what’s the actual cost?
- Border spending has more than tripled since 2000 [2].
- We’re dumping over $25 billion a year on enforcement while claiming we “can’t afford” processing centers or asylum judges [2].
- 1 in 3 migrants arriving now are from countries directly impacted by U.S. regime change and military ops.
Not a border crisis. A blowback crisis.
Want fewer people at the border?
Stop burning their countries down.
What Happens When You Burn the Bridge You Bombed?
The U.S. spent 70 years turning Latin America into a neoliberal testing ground and proxy war sandbox. Now that the blowback has arrived on our doorstep, Republicans are treating it like a biblical plague rather than the man-made disaster it is.
We destabilized their countries, and now we criminalize them for fleeing the wreckage.
Let’s get this straight:
- Most of today’s “border crisis” migrants aren’t from Mexico. They’re from countries the U.S. helped wreck—Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, and Haiti [2].
- 90% of asylum seekers at the border are fleeing generalized violence, state collapse, or persecution—the same ingredients we’ve stirred into their regions for decades [4].
- And despite the panic, net migration from Mexico has been negative for years. The so-called “invasion” is largely a delayed consequence of U.S. policy chickens coming home to roost [3].
It’s karma, not a mystery border crisis.
It’s why no amount of border walls, barbed wire, or MAGA theatrics will “solve” the problem. You can’t deport your way out of a foreign policy hangover.
The Conspiracy That Wasn’t a Theory
Let’s recap. Your MAGA uncle thinks the CIA staged a mass shooting to push gun control.
Cute theory.
Meanwhile, the CIA was busy toppling governments, igniting civil wars, and handing missiles to jihadists. Not in secret Reddit threads—in declassified memos, budget appropriations, and presidential briefings.
They didn’t need crisis actors. They had actual crises. They didn’t fake carnage. They funded it.
This isn’t QAnon fanfiction. This is empire in action.
So next time someone tells you the “deep state” is a fantasy? Remind them it’s not a fantasy. It’s a résumé. And the body count is very, very real.
Want fewer migrants at the border? Fewer jihadists online? Fewer terrorist attacks at home?
Maybe start by closing the foreign policy blender that turned the world into a refugee factory and handed the fallout to ICE.
Because the real conspiracy?
We already know it happened.
