CIA Targets Education Forum, Conspiracy Section.

[Peter Lemkin]

SO MANY of the operations thought to be under the umbrella of CIA or other sister agencies were really off-the-shelf/privatized and run semi-autonimously to nearly rogue. That said many had a wink and nod and/or logistical or financial or intelligence or obfuscation support from the Company before/during/after. Some, like Wilson are classics. Some very much inside the Agency were made to look like ther were not. Most were not. Only the seed idea/goal came from HQ and the teams knew what to do and where to get funding, arms, support etc. Some were totally rogue, but of persons otherwise once attached in some form - and other combinations. VERY FEW, IMO, were official Company ops run from a CIA station and with paperwork to prove it. I'm sure many like Tosh often didn't know who the hell had authorized or was paying for and watching over an operation. Rarely was it the CIA as an Agency per se. But they usually kept an eye on things from afar....even ops not their own. [i.e. had they wanted to stop them, they could have]
