Because it's a faction and not the entire CIA, it's entirely off-books. The CIA and Hughes use drug money (in the same manner that they did to fund the arming of the Contras), and leverage facilitated theft to supply the militias.

It certainly works for the T2k world. Since we're dealing with alternate history/reality I always thought the original GDW treatment of Hughes was quite good FTR.
