Spooks is what old timey Southern folks call negros

Mean :(

A spook is a government agent in a suit and sunglasses dude. Common knowledge. FBI ARE the spooks.

Ooo spoopy

If the FBI really wanted to fix an election, it would work and you would never suspect it.

That's probably what the author of the wiki page meant, thx for clearing this up.
I assume that washpo is not opening with an editorial about African American FBI agents on Wednesday, so the other meaning of the word is more likely.

This right here.

WRONG

A spook is also a label that lefty anarcho-primitivists apply to things and concepts that they choose not to believe in due to the fact that those objects or ideas hurt their feelings.
See: Max Stirner

"Spooks" actually refers to ghosts of old FBI agents. The agency secretly uses remote viewers to channel the spirits of some of their greatest detectives to crack the most challenging cases. It's very effective when they can actually connect with one of the spooks, which isn't always guaranteed.
