It is. The CIA is merely the hand of Sauron. JFK threatened that hand, thereby threatening Sauron (derp state) himself.
We know how big this is now. And it sure ain't the mafia. The mafia is small potatoes compared to the true enemy.

The mafia is another tool. Lesser in many ways. but more nimble. And they get in mostly for the freedom to make money with out bother.
Cia on the other hand is completely compartmentalized, most don’t even know what they are working on. They got a task.
Cept for the top.
