When I heard about the targeted moves against the FBI by DOGE, I got to thinking that the FBI is not the sort of organization you want to anger if you have skeletons in your closet. And even if you don’t, they’ll put one there to find.
But I’m worried we’re already at the point where the entire agency can be discredited (not entirely undeservedly) just because President Cheeto and Supreme President Musk could label any findings as “fake news” and the majority of Americans would take it as fact.
They could be the SA to whatever SS the Trump admin wants to replace them with (the Proud Boys?)
Yeah, this meme is just a glimpse at my external view of the events. To me the CIA, the FBI and those kind of agencies are just lumped together. Appreciated the info tho
OOOOohhhh that’s their difference. I never really bothered to check. Did know the difference for CIA and FBI though, but this I somehow thought of less idk
If you want more info about some other Anglosphere countries and their comparable organizations, along with a healthy dose of “Wait what the hell are these governments doing”, the Five Eyes article on Wikipedia has a helpful table of its member states and their respective intelligence apparati.
Thanks. Yeah I got most of them down, but that just sort of slipped through some of the filters and I’ve just never given concious thought to the difference even though I’ve watched like idk a dozen shows in the previous year about MI5 and MI6 and whatnot. I’ve literally just ignored it. But then when I hear things like “the KSK” I have to look them up (Kommando Spezialkräfte) once in a while.
Now I’ve been watching Jack Ryan, then earlier this year was “The Agency” and then theres the very british “Slow Horses” with Gary Oldman 9/10. I don’t only watch shows like that but sometimes when I get into a mood I watch all them at once . Currently I’m more into WWII British war stories but I’ve like seen all them from Colditz to Dunkirk
Just to nitpick, the CIA is more the “topple governments” organization.
I am sure the FBI is involved, but their operations are primarily internal affairs. It’s like MI5 and MI6 in the UK.
The CIA topples foreign governments.
The FBI topples progressive movements within the US.
Tbf they also target white supremacist organisations within the US.
Targeted.
They did not seem to be very effective when it came to white supremicists…
Yeah…and they’re being threatened too.
I wonder if they’d ever consider the White House to be a foreign government to topple.
