I’m sure they’ll handwave this away like the rest of the evidence, but I’m thinking about four years ago when @gammison called everything in Aptheker’s book “categorically untrue” with evidence like “the CIA only had one case officer in the country at the time!” I mean, how could they do anything with ONLY ONE smol bean officer of that particular type? no mention of other kinds of agents so they must not have existed right? how could one lil’ CIA agent handle that much money or weapons, you silly tankie?

another discrepancy is that they link to supposed “declassified CIA cables” but it’s not, it’s an article in the “National Security Archives” with its own conclusions, and maybe I’m clueless but I do not see any cable excerpts or a clear idea of any cables, everything seems to be sourced from a “CIA Clandestine History” and I do not trust a supposed “internal history” as much as I would declassified operational cables for real use in decision making.
this is obviously a petty callout but I didn’t feel like my response four years ago was adequate
drawing some pretty big conclusions for a 1.7% change in supplier. this post is pretty misleading given that context
