Non crazy conspiratorial source for these huge allegations?

Here's one https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-26876801

I might be able to find you a Fox News link if that would be more to your liking.

Working against apartheid in South Africa would also count as "fomenting unrest" so I don't know how useful that metric is. Even what you linked is basically equivalent to the US projecting soft power and pro-capitalist sentiment (inappropriate, IMO, but probably within agency mission parameters).

It really doesn't matter if you know how useful that metric is or not, it is what I was specifically talking about and what the parent poster asked about. I'm just glad to be able to blow their mind by proving these "huge allegations".
