Nixon pulling out of Vietnam was going to endanger the drug pipeline that the CIA ran from the Golden Triangle back to the States - they didn't need to kill him, but they did depose him.

The CIA infiltrated CREEP with James McCord, who deliberately bungled the Watergate break-in so that its perpetrators would be caught, Mark Felt leaked the cover-up to Woodward and Bernstein, and then CIA Director Vernon Walters leaked the entire plot to Congress so that they knew exactly what to look for as far as incriminating evidence of a cover-up.

Notice how there's a distinct shift to Latin America in the 1980s after Saigon falls.

I recently got a job at a nonprofit and they’re unionizing. I’m remote but they’re based in a state with stronger union protections and their nascent chapter is affiliated with a bigger, active union. as is fitting for a non profit, the posho British ceo issued a response to the union refusing to voluntarily recognize them on grounds of DEI, citing a power imbalance between potentially unionized workers and the contractors they use for sweatshop labor overseas. Lmao

it’s pretty weird they rarely talk about abstract things or try to push a particular company narrative about their virtuosity, but not because of an absence of cynicism, I think it just doesn’t occur to them because they’re all bourgeois true believers and since the Mission is indeed something with real social utility being executed in a more inclusive and effective way than it’s antecedents, that gives them a kind of mental blank check to overwrite and ignore all of their obvious misdeeds despite the obvious reality that they continue to enrich themselves, just according to different expectations than the pervert MBAs that run similar for profit institutions

Charity for charitys sake, but incentivized to increase your own salary. I know a few people that work in NFP, not even as leaders getting paid good money they're the underpaid real workers, and they really don't like socialism. Root cause analysis and root cause fixes don't get much airplay in their heads despite being some of the most informed about the symptoms in their areas.

Couple of comrades came with me to a public open mic with our states NFP tenant support org, to inject some covert class analysis and socialist talking points. Their media liaison literally said, right after admitting they're funded to be only be able to help 10% of the tenants coming in, and I quote "we need better landlords".

If you fixed the root causes the NFPs would be out of a job. So it's not in their personal interests to do so.

They'd also have a better one and a better quality of life, if they're a regular worker and not one of the execs. But yeh. Imagine being out of a job where you have to tell people how you can only help 1 in 10 of the people that are exploited by their landlord. The horror.

I hope you are getting loving paid, yo. Non-profit work is usually a poo poo-show of drama that pays like garbage because they expect you to be "committed to the work." Government work usually pays better, has better benefits, and is frequently as (if not more) altruistic.
