 File Overview The Foundation is not the only group with an interest and investment in the paranormal and metaphysical. There are many other groups in existence who possess, use or attempt to create SCP objects either for their own personal gain or for the protection of mankind. Some are rival organizations, some are splinter groups of the Foundation and some are trusted associates of the Foundation. In any case, it has been deemed necessary to create and distribute a brief on what agencies the Foundation knows about and or stands towards them. Gamers Against Weed Overview Gamers Against Weed is a loosely organized confederation of anomalous individuals as well as associates thereof that produce or procure anomalies for satirical purposes and or for their own amusement. Originally, however, they have also been implicated in supplying anomalies to left-wing political organizations. While Gamers Against Weed organizes its activities primarily over internet channels, several real-world locations associated with the group have been identified and raided. Current intelligence suggests that Gamers Against Weed is in the process of creating and distributing a set of anomalous humanoids to parody Dr. Wondertainment's Little Mister series and that it is aware of the Foundation's operations if not its exact nature. Detainment of Gamers Against Weed members has proven more difficult than anticipated. Some of the group's organizers are believed to possess reality-altering capabilities either in their own right or through access to outside resources. Current operations are focused on the containment of related anomalies and the identification and analysis of Gamers Against Weed's most dangerous members. The Global Occult Coalition, GOC Overview The GOC was created in the aftermath of World War II from the remnants of defecting occultists, physicists, priests, and scientists from Nazi, Soviet, and Allied states brought together and formed by the Allies as the world stage broadened. So, too, did the number of countries that had their hands in the GOC until it became what it is today. The GOC are a largely political force, seen of cells as the police of the paranormal world. They pry themselves on destroying supernatural entities and make use of the most high-tech experimental technology possible obtained from their benefactors. Many potential SCPs have been destroyed by them before the Foundation could obtain and contain them. They have been both on the side of the Foundation and against it at times, depending on the situation. They largely hold the Foundation in contempt for their use and containment of SCP items rather than their out-and-out destruction. The GOC has respected the Foundation's formidable might enough to leave it mostly alone, although there have been some questionable incidents with which the GOC have strictly denied involvement. Evidence of the GOC are to be treated with suspicion. Gru Division P Overview Originally known as the Chudhakan, or Fourth Department of Normal Occurrences Commission, it was established in early 1935 by direct decree of J. V. Stullin, its first task being the investigation of the murder of S. M. Kirov. During World War II, the Commission expanded into the newly reorganized Gru as Division P, Psychotronics, working to counteract anomalous threats from the SS, Ananerbi, and the Vatican, and to capture and study anomalous artifacts both at home and abroad for the benefit of the Soviet government. Division P has carried on with its role throughout the Cold War, making Foundation operations in the countries of the coming turn difficult. After 1991, rapid restructuring coupled with budget cuts and the decommissioning or sale of significant assets resulted in numerous defections of their personnel. A significant proportion of both Chaos Insurgency and MC&D operatives in Eastern Europe originated from Gru Division P ranks, and the flooding of the European black market with anomalous items formally in their possession. Currently, this group of interest poses little direct threat to the Foundation.
