[[Image:Politics (Stargate SG-1).jpg|thumb|[[Robert Kinsey]] central, arguing]]

On many occassions the very existence or control of the SGC has been in threat. Senator [[Robert Kinsey]] has often made strong efforts to close down the entire Stargate Programme, (succeeding in the episode "[[Politics (Stargate SG-1)|Politics]]", only for it to be reopened), arguing that the existence of the Stargate is far too great a threat to Earth. [[RobertRichard Woolsey]], an inspector, recommended the closure of the SGC to the President of the United States, arguing that [[SG-1]] were a reckless team that more than once had caused the Earth great threat. Kinsey later on tried various methods of putting ''himself'' in power of the SGC, mainly through links with rogue [[National Intelligence Division]] leaders, who have tried to sabotage the base on many occassions, once even succeeding in stealing the Stargate itself.

On few occassions, aliens have managed to permeate the Iris. The [[Tollan (Stargate)|Tollan]] possess technology capable of allowing people to pass through matter, but were never considered a threat owing to their friendship with Earth. At least once, the base was compromised by aliens with unforeseen abilities (for instance in the episode "[[Foothold(Stargate SG-1)|Foothold]]"). [[Anubis (Stargate)|Anubis]], a powerful [[System Lord]] with access to Ancient technology, has tried to destroy the SGC via various methods, including the detonation of the Stargate itself. All attempts to subsume or destroy the SGC have failed to date.
