    No, because I think every layer of the CIA thinks they know what’s best and that they shouldn’t have to answer to anyone, including their own boss.

    No, because I think secrets can stay safer the fewer people who know about them. The boss may have a general idea of what’s going on, but the less they know, the less chance there could be a leak from a Man In The Middle attack. The bosses probably have a Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. They probably knew the cat story and remote viewing story were nonsense, but knew it was dangerous to know what’s actually going on and left it be.
