Do you have any citation for this? It sounds, well, made up. Also as mentioned The Knights of Malta haven't had anything to do with the island for over 200 year

  I went about my day and just got back. I had no idea this would strike such a nerve. Yes, here is my citation, though it's unlikely to be seen now that I've been massively flagged for pointing out something relevant. I think anyone who is genuinely curious would find some very interesting things in this treaty between the government of Malta and the SMOM. https://foreignaffairs.gov.mt/en/Treaties%20Series/Documents/Sovreign%20Military%20Hospitalier%20order%20of%20St.%20John%20-%20Fort%20St%20Angelo%20Agreement%20-%205%20December%201998.pdf https://foreignaffairs.gov.mt/en/Treaties%20Series/Documents... Beyond that there is a rich history of the relationship between SMOM and the government of Malta, the SMOM and other orders that reside on Malta, and how they connect to the Vatican/Rome. Really it was something I noticed when researching the history of the OSS and CIA, that so many CIA people were also SMOM. That's what led me down the path of reading up on them.

    This doesn't really seem to back up what you were saying though, about the CIA and the Order of Malta. This is just pretty much setting up an embassy.
