* AscendedFridgeHorror: Seems to be the case in in ''Fortitude Amicitia''. [[spoiler: In chapter 31 of ''Stardust'', Celestia asks why Discord doesn't "release her", clearly implying that [[BroughtDownToNormal he has sealed off some of her powers]], so that she can protect her ponies from the oncoming invasion. Discord refuses, because she would end up falling into her own [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill corrupt rendition of Order]], which would result in her [[TakenForGranite petrifying every living thing in Equestria]], complete with showing a corrupted Celestia atop a pedestal of petrified ponies and surrounded by dozens more for emphasis. In the very first chapter of ''Fortitude Amicitia'', reference is made to discovering prison-vaults filled with tens of ''thousands'' of petrified ponies, petrified for the most minor of crimes by a "Queen Solaria". Upon the discovery, Celestia immediately cancelled the expedition and arranged for the professors to forget about it in exchange for comfortable jobs. The reason why? "Past sins should stay buried and forgotten", as she puts it. So, the implication is pretty clear that Discord sealed Celestia's power and won't unseal it because she has ''been'' an Order-mad tyrant in the past when she had full access to it.]]

** The supplemental info often mentions how there have been a mysterious string of disappearances where people with backgrounds in the military, science and engineering just vanish from their homes with no sign of struggle. They aren't being abducted by aliens, they're being recruited by [=XCOM=] and agreeing to the absolute secrecy requirements.
** In ''Mente Materia'' it seems that the worst political pundit in the world managed to get the opportunity to confront XCOM for their unsanctioned military actions and covert alliance with an alien race. Considering the influence of the Council, that is implied to include at least the Vice-President of the United States, it's possible that they deliberately allowed the leak to reach Senator Coleman specifically, so that he would make any opposition of the XCOM project a joke in the eyes of the general public when it inevitably became public knowledge -- someone more competent could have presented rational and crushing arguments against the organisation's existence in its current form and seriously hindered their current operation model.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: Word of God states that the council is made up of unknown individuals, not representatives of funding nations. Senator Goleman's political attacks are completely justified as XCOM is a glorified PMC operating as it pleases, not an official multinational force. It has been pointed out that the nature of the Council is not completely known and they may take the form of TheIlluminati, which means they not only control XCOM but the nations of the world as well. Strawman still does have a point, but not the one that he started with.
