Part 2 of a 2 part series on America’s puffed up intelligence administration.
Why does any nation– especially a democratic one– need 18 various intelligence firms?
It does not, naturally, unless these cells of fetid political security are likewise dealing with the growing list of armed security forces in America to rob individuals of their democratic rights and flexibilities.
Nazi Germany just had 2 intel firms: the Abwehr, which was the state’s military intelligence arm and the infamous Sicherheitsdienst, or SD, which was the Nazi celebration’s own intelligence company connected to the SS and under the command of Reinhard Heydrich, among the most wicked and enthusiastic males in the Third Reich.
The U.S. in fact boasts about having so lots of intelligence groups that the majority of Americans have actually lost count. Simply take a look at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence site and discover how your tax dollars are being invested to reproduce intelligence operations that are obviously frequently without success and identified by gross incompetence and ostentatious neglect for the democratic rights of American residents who undergo persistent spying by these firms.

In March 2013, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) asked Clapper before the Senate Intelligence Committee whether the National Security Agency can “gather any kind of information at all on millions, or numerous millions, of Americans?”
The spymaster reacted, “No, sir … Not wittingly. There are cases where they might unintentionally, possibly, gather. Not wittingly.”
His response obviously was a repellent lie and Clapper would naturally have actually understood it was. If he did not understand, he had not been paying much attention to his task and might be evaluated as a straight inexperienced. Since, as we now understand,
