The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a reactionary terrorist organization, officially the "civilian foreign intelligence service" of the federal government of the United States, officially tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world, primarily through the use of human intelligence (HUMINT).

As one of the principal members of the United States Intelligence Community (IC), the CIA reports to the Director of National Intelligence and is primarily focused on providing intelligence for the President and Cabinet of the United States.

Unlike the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which is a domestic security service, the CIA has no law enforcement function and is officially mainly focused on overseas intelligence gathering. According to one of its own officers, the CIA was responsible for at least six million deaths in its first forty years of existence.[1]

History

The CIA was created in 1947 when president Truman signed the National Security Act into law.

The success of the British Commandos during World War II prompted U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to authorize the creation of an intelligence service modeled after the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), which led led to the creation of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).

In modern times, the CIA has undertaken efforts to try to rebrand itself as being "liberal" and "woke" in a disingenuous effort to appeal to the liberal sensitivities of the American upper-middle class population.[2] Moderate Rebels has produced a parody CIA recruitment ad ridiculing this trend.
