The Central Intelligence Agency is a civilian foreign intelligence service of the United States federal government. Harry Truman created it in 1947. Their directive was to collect information about external threats that could be used to defend the USA. It is tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world. Unlike the FBI, which is a domestic security service, the CIA has no law enforcement function and is focused on overseas intelligence gathering, with only limited local intelligence collection. It collects information on individuals, corporations, and foreign governments.

The CIA had abandoned their original purpose to begin interference and intervention in the affairs of other nations. The result was crimes which included assassinations and political coups that disposed of democratically elected governments. They use deception, wire taps, money to buy information and if that does not work they will find something to blackmail you and will go to any lengths to get what they need. They will break the law and they will offer to relocate people and their families to get information.They will get what they need by any means including blackmail, assasination, out and out lying disregarding local country laws. They have been known to use drugs, sex and threats to get the infomation they need.
