seems pretty clear to me it was the CIA. From watching Michael Tsarion and Jordan Maxwell, its known the elites like to reveal secrets to who they are and how they operate through their language. Double speak is often a factor. You can't spell cicada without CIA. And 3301 is an obvious reference to the Masons as 33 is the highest order that a mason can achieve. I aIso think there is something to the choosing of the cicada as the anthropomorphic symbol as Reddust said. The cicada comes out of hibernation of every 7 years or something---maybe they are being recruited for deep cover ops for the CIA and their jobs in each deep cover assignment only last 7 years at a time before moving on to the next assignment. Who knows about that part. It requires more research.
