I listened to the podcast "Wind of Change", which explored the rumor that the CIA had written the hit Scorpions rock ballad as a psy-op to undermine the soviet union. As a non-American, it was quite fascinating to hear about proven past CIA ops like Project Azorian or the Mission: Impossible-inspired face masks. Moral objections aside, it seems like it could be an interesting place to work. You just might not be allowed to put it on your resumé.

"Department of Defense" or "State Department". There's an office that actually can check your resume for you if you work for a top secret agency, usually on your way out to make sure you're good :)

Oddly and timely, the Scorpions just posted on Twitter about Winds of Change - seems like they are Reaaly Really good if it was the CIA ha
