From Rayelan:

About a year ago, I somehow ended up on the CIA Comic's mailing list!!

I think he saw the Rumor Mill News logo and figured I was a "Comic" too!

At first I thought he was "pretending" to be with the CIA. I didn't think ANYONE with the CIA would be so OVERT as to bill themselves as THE COVERT COMIC!!

I did a little research and found out that he REALLY DOES work for the CIA.

When I discovered that, I immediately sent him my bill!

Having several years of "perspective", I now realize that I was USED by the CIA to get rid of George Bush, the Elder! Since I unwittingly did THEIR work for them!! I wanted to be paid!!

Not only did the CIA NOT pay me for all the work I did, it cost me almost a million dollars in lost earnings, real estate and other valuable possessions!

It has been at least a year and a half since I submitted my bill to him. And I can ASSURE you... he is INDEED A CIA Operative AND comic!!

I could tell this by the way he answered me:

"I will submit a pay voucher. Expect a check in the mail!"

Then again... maybe the CIA is mad at him because he REALLY DID submit a "pay voucher" to reimburse me for the money THEY cost me!!

CIA Not Tickled By Jokes With Intelligence

He calls himself "America's Funniest Intelligence Officer," but the
Central Intelligence Agency apparently is not laughing now that his Web
site has exposed some of their alleged "oddballs."

John Alejandro King says he's worked at the Company for 14 years
"building data bases" and that he's always gotten high marks. But that
was before he started poking fun at the CIA on the Internet.

'The Covert Comic'
Currently featured on King's site (www.covertcomic.com) is an essay
titled "The Intelligence Underground: The Spookiest of the Spooks," by
one "Jim Beetle." King tells us that "Beetle" is a fake name for another
CIA officer, but that his roster of "highly unorthodox" employees is
"all real."

Among the spooks:

An analyst obsessed with UFOs.
An intelligence officer who, prior to being discreetly retired a few
years back, sold his own porn videos on the side.
A female staffer who "keeps male sex slaves."
A Special Agent who believes he's the son of Jesus Christ and lays hands
on the sick.
"Beetle" asks: "Why haven't these kooks been fired for their bizarre
activities? Perhaps, in the end, they will be. For the moment though,
these and other crazies continue in their official duties as custodians
of some of America's most sensitive information."

King, whose site also includes "CIA jokes," says his own future at the
agency remains cloudy.

Although he insists he hasn't spilled any classified info, he says his
bosses at Langley have told him him his site is "highly inappropriate."

"They can't fire me, but they did it anyway," says King, adding that
he's 40 years old and makes about $72,500. "I had to get an attorney to
reinstate me. My attorney suggested I abandon the Web site. I don't want
to. I don't see why I can't write satire and work in the intelligence
community."

The CIA's phone directory lists a John King, but an agency spokesman
declined any sort of comment.

King doesn't think he'll be "terminated with prejudice," as they say in
his business. He does believe the agency may put "me into what I think
they'll call Special Status. The Covert Comic is still hanging in there,
but barely."
