They're usually there in the background, testing things out, nudging things along. That article I posted the other day about CIA-backed death squads in Afghanistan followed that pattern.
“I don’t know whether they’re special forces or a task force or CIA,” said an NDS counterterrorism officer from Wardak who accompanied 01 on missions until late 2018, but “Americans are always with them.”

I saw a tweet about that last night,
NEW: Nashville bomber sent bizarre letters 2 days before attack, writing about 9/11, the moon landing, and "lizard people" who he believed control Earth - WTVF
It's plausible, but seems off to me. It's as though someone was like "Quick, knock up a bunch of letters with every mad conspiracy theory you can think of, so we can chalk it up to that."

Indeed the engine of capitalist expansion is now oiled by the profits of serious crime. From time to time something is done to give the impression of waging war on the rapidly expanding banking and tax havens. If governments really wanted to, they could right this overnight. But though there are calls for zero tolerance of petty crime and unemployment, nothing is being done about the big money crimes.
Financial crime is becoming less visible, periodically coming to light in one country or another in the guise of scandals involving companies, banks, political parties, leaders, cartels, mafias. This flood of illegal transactions - offences under national law or international agreements - has come to be portrayed as just accidental malfunctions of free market economics and democracy that can be put right by something called "good governance". But the reality is quite different. It is a coherent system closely linked to the expansion of modern capitalism and based on an association of three partners: governments, transnational corporations, and mafias.
Big business complicity and political laissez faire is the only way that large scale organised crime can launder and recycle the fabulous proceeds of its activities. And the transnationals need the support of governments and the neutrality of the regulatory authorities in order to consolidate their positions, increase their profits, withstand or crush the competition, pull of the "deal of the century" and finance their illicit operations.

Better still, under the aegis of international financial crimes number one partner, the US, we are seeing a rationalisation, or rather, Americanisation, of corruption techniques, seeking to replace the somewhat archaic practices of palm-greasing and secret (or open) "commission" payments by lobbying, which is more effective and presentable. It is a service industry in which the Americans have a considerable lead over their competitors, not only in know-how, but also in the vast financial and logistical resources they are able to make available to their multinationals; these include the secret services of the worlds most powerful state apparatus, which, with the Cold War over, have moved over into economic warfare.
