Which is probably why the CIA loves recruiting them so much.
- wolfgang42 1y agoYou might be thinking of Mormons? I’ve never heard of the CIA recruiting Quakers and I don’t think it would go particularly well if they did.
- timewizard 1y agoNo. I mean Quakers. Their global humanitarian work and connections to communists and socialists the world over made them particularly interesting to the CIA. The CIA has directly used and manipulated Quakers for these purposes. This was especially true during the Cold War. The majority of people "recruited" by the CIA are used for information or for their specific field of expertise. A forgotten history I guess.
