    Let’s debunk some misconceptions people have about CIA & the women & men working here. We’re not gun-toting, globetrotting, martini-drinking spies so frequently portrayed on the silver screen. Instead, we're ordinary Americans, doing extraordinary things. http://bit.ly/2BZF3S6 pic.twitter.com/op1091yati

        Myth: People who work for CIA are spies & agents. Fact: US citizens who work for CIA are officers, not agents or spies. All employees, from operations to analysts, to librarians & public affairs, are considered CIA officers.

        So, who is a CIA agent? Our operations officers recruit well-placed human agents with access to secrets. These recruited spies are agents. Agents/spies are invaluable. They provide critical information about their country to help America.

        Myth: All CIA officers recruit & handle agents. Fact: Only some officers recruit & handle agents, which is the job of an operations officer. The number of employees at CIA is classified, but the variety of careers here is similar to major corporations. http://1.usa.gov/1qOxdOa

        Myth: The Agency operates independently & is not held accountable to anyone. Fact: The CIA is responsible to the American people. We operate in accordance with oversight from US elected representatives.

        The National Security Council, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, & the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, provide guidance & oversight. Internally, the CIA Office of Inspector General detects & deters fraud, waste, abuse, & mismanagement.

        Myth: The CIA has law enforcement authority. Fact: The public often confuses @FBI responsibilities with CIA’s. We don’t have law enforcement authority. CIA’s responsibility is to collect intel & information overseas.

        Myth: The CIA makes foreign policy. Fact: CIA does not make policy; it’s an independent source of foreign intel for those who do. We collect, evaluate, & disseminate foreign intel to the president & senior US government policymakers so they can make informed decisions.

        Oh FFS. Aliens? Really? You think some little grey dude is going to come hang out here if they have the tech to travel the stars? WHY? The only thing we *might* have to offer is art, music, literature and entertainment. Maybe. Why? B/c they'd already have everything else.

        We have minerals, and the Human Resource, the biggest and most important of all. We shouldn’t accept not deny any possible fringe knowledge just because we don’t know. There are many things that we don’t know and may be will never know. It’s better to be unknown sometimes.

        Except that conspiracy theories about aliens are not knowledge. They are wild accusations backed up by grainy video footage and people who are trying to make money by selling lies. This community only produces fraud.

        That is the problem. You have to broaden your scope. You know there are hidden civilisations throughout this world, thousands of years old, with more modern city building technology! There are ancient books full of scientific knowledge that we still trying to decipher.

        Why read science claims that weren't collected or explored with the scientific method? People have been lying in print for money and influence since the invention of the written word.

        What are scientific methods? After every decades, these methods are proven wrong. In 19th century, flight was a myth, now we are in space. Science evolves and theories changes. Einstein proved Nutonian theory wrong, someone else prove him wrong too. Science always changes.
