Found this because an article on Helen Toner popped up in my feed and I wanted to find out more, and boy did I find out more.

I believe there's a normal progression for any cult where they are convinced that The Man is out to get them.

    You would say that as an NSA member. ;)

    But jokes aside, while it is very unlikely it isn't totally impossible that some spooks are doing things. Iirc during the end of the 90's the AIVD was hacked and it was revealed that they had a few informants inside the Dutch hacker scene/universites, at least that is a store I heard. Of course an informant will not have 'works for CIA' on their resume.

    NatSec types, being naturally paranoid and probably inherently rightwing, would probably be drawn to EA like flies on shit.

    Incidentally, in Sterling’s Heavy Weather there’s a description of a group of dark triad negative EA types, where smart people are recruited to lower the population of the book’s grimdark future.
