I think the eschaton would be pretty hard to miss, what with the rapture and the final battle at Armageddon and the horsemen and whatnot.
The CIA’s entire bailiwick is covert operations. A government agency that’s been specially trained to engage in illegal covert operations involving lethal force without getting caught isn’t going to leave too much evidence, which means a lack of evidence doesn’t really tell you anything either way.
That having been said, the CIA was involved in the Obama-era drone strike program that ended up killing four US citizens (only one of whom was deliberately targeted). Frank Olson also died in suspicious circumstances connected to MKULTRA in 1953.
