Tag: control

CONTROL was a fictional Intelligence agency of the United States of America federal government from the 1960s TV comedy series Get Smart. It fought for the security of the free world from the evil KAOS organization. Its star agent was “Agent 86” Maxwell Smart, assisted by Agent 99 (who was not otherwise named). The head of CONTROL was called the Chief (during Maxwell Smart’s time, the Chief’s real first name was Thaddeus, whose original CONTROL identity was Agent Q). “CONTROL” is not an acronym. Letters stands for nothing else than “Control”. “CONTROL” should not be spelled with dots (“C.O.N.T.R.O.L.”) or it would confuse agent 86. CONTROL is the opposite of chaos and is spelled like COINTELPRO.
