I was going down the rabbithole and trying to think of shit the government knows that we don't, and I noticed something interesting. This article mentions a class of top secret information called "Q clearance". Basically, top people from the Department of Energy brief the president on really high-level stuff, which includes the plans for nuclear war.

Of course, it's possible that "Q" is just an attention seeking troll, but if he is real, he could be involved with this organization.
