MK Ultra on its own could count for several.
Was the experiment where they released some "harmless pathogen" (assuming your immune system is all good!) in major cities to see how they spread, resulting in some deaths/complications part of MK Ultra? Can't remember if it was under that project or part of a different one leading up to it.
The Iran/contras were CIA.
Oh also the Iranian revolution, or at least the instability that led to it.
Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden both started as CIA assets that got tired of being used.
A lot of attempts on Fidel Castro's life.
That's off the top of my head. There's also a bunch of fuckery in central and south America, though if I had to guess, I would guess that there has been fuckery in every single country on this planet, including countries some would have called allies. Iirc they targeted some Canadian cities for that "release the pathogen" experiment, too.
I read a great story about the Cuban "ASSETS" the CIA had we're all double agents. I can see how Fidel Castro could backflip away from so many assignation attempts.
On the subject of MK Ultra we shouldn't forget Canada also has some culpability there.
Yeah, the CIA weren't openly involved (Cameron, the one who did the experiments claimed to be unaware of CIA involvement but who knows), McGill claimed to be unaware but they went on for 9 years, so even if that's true, it could be considered negligence. And the Canadian government funded it.
And when it came out, there was an investigation that concluded they didn't act irresponsibly.
There's the fuckery in Australia, like with Pine Gap and that one prime minister they had fired
