    This is really interesting: CIA sponsored coups in Iran & Guatemala seem to correlate to stock-market insider trading (i.e. stocks went up as soon as coups were secretly initiated).https://twitter.com/PatrickIber/status/998995239330304001 …

    Fascinating paper (from 2011) by Arindrajit Dube, Ethan Kaplan, and Suresh Naidu on the endless politics-vs.-economic-interests debates regarding CIA interventions in Iran and Guatemala in 1953/54 http://www.nber.org/papers/w16952.pdf …

        The people staffing the OSS & early CIA (and State Dept in those years) tended to overlap with Wall Street (and sometimes go back & forth to Wall Street as with Bill Casey). So easy to imagine covert info feeding into stock market purchases.

        In his novel, Libra, Don DeLillo talks about that topic. The CIA agents thought they were doing good for the nation and themselves financially.

        Package this as a fun empirical test for any rumored CIA action that could/should have had market-moving effects

        I think the United Fruit Company owned half of Guatemala.

        Is that why US stocks went up after the Russian/GOP coup of '16? "All the Shah's Men" by Stephen Kinzer is imo, the best book on the Iranian coup.

        Paul Linebarger, the CIA spook who wrote science fiction as Cordwainer Smith, did a little insider trading. (You have to scan down to the reply to a long letter.) https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/entertainment/books/1996/12/29/letters/e6f65c41-a475-4ef8-b1b5-3e7a05d3e98f/ …

        Part of an intricate system of economic extraction, which is an all out assault on humanity. We have two choices, give up this failed paradigm and embrace the possibility of a utopian society or continue on this trend in which increasing violence hate must be taught/inflicted.
