      It’s a play on the “would a rose by any other name not smell as sweet” line from Romeo and Juliet.

      And it was done in a playful joking way because if we assume there actually is a group that controls entities like CIA and mossad, referring to them by name doesn’t tell us much, and I wouldn’t expect a random commenter to actually know their name, if they even have one to begin with. Like, such a group would be well hidden and well informed and quite powerful.
