“Director Ratcliffe has invited Elon Musk to meet with him at the Agency to discuss government efficiency,” a CIA spokesperson told POLITICO.

      I lost all faith in the CIA being anything more than an engine to keep America’s international capitalist interests intact. If they were actually trying to keep the US safe and stable Trump wouldn’t be president because the all powerful CIA of lore would have ended him

        Unless you are a chemist in the 1950s and 1960s, that just means they need more LSD for weird and fucked up experiments. Also they used it all while watching The Thing from Another World.

    “you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there. And you’re in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down … and a big guy with a cigar goes, ‘Roll the film.’ And it’s a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you’ve never seen before … that looks suspiciously like it’s from the grassy knoll. And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president, ‘Any questions?’… ‘Er, just what my agenda is.’”
