Episode 50: Spies Just Wanna Have Fun!

Send us a text

That shadowy organization pulling strings behind the scenes? Turns out they might be more like high school pranksters with unlimited government funding than sophisticated spies from your favorite thriller.

The CIA's recently declassified operations reveal an intelligence agency that once hatched a plan to drop extra-large condoms labeled "small" over communist countries to destroy male morale during the Cold War. Because nothing says psychological warfare like making your enemies feel inadequate about their manhood while American men supposedly strutted around with Magnum-sized confidence.

But wait, it gets stranger. Remember Osama bin Laden? The agency commissioned the creator of GI Joe to design action figures with faces that would peel off in sunlight to reveal demonic red skin and green eyes. The plan was to distribute these terrifying toys to children across the Middle East. Only three prototypes were ever made, but the fact this idea made it past a brainstorming session tells you everything you need to know about CIA creativity.

Sexual blackmail was another favorite tactic. The agency produced pornographic films with actors impersonating foreign leaders, including one called "Happy Days" showing President Sukarno of India. The plan hilariously backfired when Sukarno was reportedly impressed with how the film portrayed his sexual prowess. Other ventures included remote-controlled dogs with devices implanted in their skulls, testing psychics who claimed to bend spoons with their minds, and of course, the infamous MK Ultra mind control experiments.

These bizarre operations raise important questions about government transparency and what exactly our intelligence agencies are doing with taxpayer money. Are today's classified operations equally ridiculous, or have they evolved into something more sophisticated? Subscribe to hear more strange-but-true stories that make you question everything you thought you knew about how power really works.
