The Order of Malta Today, there are hundreds if not thousands of pseudo and official knightly organisations. Amongst the official ones, the most notorious is the Order of Malta. Martin A. Lee, in his article "Their Will Be Done" (Mother Jones, July 1983), states that the American branch of the Order is one of the most important communication channels between the CIA and the Vatican. Indeed, the Order of Malta is able to transfer money in and out of countries to which neither the CIA nor the Vatican has access. The Order of Malta is full of military and intelligence people, and its history in the 20th century truly begs a chicken-and-egg question: which came first—the money connections or the intelligence officials? The head of the Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor of the CIA, William "Wild Bill" Donovan, was a member of the Order of Malta, as was James Jesus Angleton, the CIA counterintelligence chief who was immortalised in the movie The Good Shepherd.
