Most of what the 3 letter agencies do is also fraud- some drunk station chief phoning in some changes as "I made that happen!".

The CIA is a pillar to prop up stuck cultures excuses for why they get nothing good done - when your own ideology has no explanation power and thus no real help to offer, except calls for endless uprisings and civil wars. It also keeps a whole "nonacademic" wing of academia propped up. For when your theories have no predictive power and reality merciless digresses- its all a conspiracy by the 3 letters.

Cultural Inability to Advance is everywhere!
