    Cyberpunk indeed.

    From the Cyberpunk TTRPG:

    The Gang of Four was an American political cabal comprised of the NSA, CIA, FBI, and DEA, formed at some unspecified time in the mid-20th century. During its existence, the Gang of Four amassed boundless political and military influence, operating in an extrajudicial manner and with no congressional oversight.

    It was largely responsible for the collapse of the original United States, causing a crescendo of political, social and economic instability due to its dubious involvement in both local and foreign affairs.

          AI Truman won’t be released from the Disney Vault until 2026. They’ll be laying the groundwork later this year with the introduction of new Marvel hero Buck Stopper, whose identity will eventually be revealed as the long-dead president.

        I read that as “supplement nutritional brand” and was very confused, wondering why the CIA was working with the likes of GNC.

    Conspiracy people think the CIA is behind everything like Palpatine. But when the truth gets declassified they actually operate like Homer Simpson.

        I’d say that an agency that would allow it’s embarrassments to be made public while keeping their victories secret is a classic Homer move.

        The US sucks at human intelligence and always has. The CIA is a garbage tier intel agency. The only reason the US has intel at all is because our signals intelligence is so good.
