Because I am not American, I can answer "yes" without reading the text.

Because I'm not a native English speaker, it's too hard to understand what they say.

I’m an American and very familiar with the intelligence community and this articles is mindblowing just in the first five paragraphs

It is basically about 18 US intelligence agencies

While maybe 3 of them, the CIA being one, get any attention

Yeah, the article does not make clear what it means by “good”. What is good for the U.S. is not necessarily good for global humanity or the wider adoption of liberal democracy.
