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.
