The US currently has 17 intelligence agencies. Why? I think we have no more than 3. Each military branch has their own, multiple “national” intel agencies, and multiple international-based agencies. Yet, the US has been attacked by terrorism, open borders have allowed in over 1 million known terrorists. 17 agencies have become a deep state bureaucracy who target law-abiding US citizens, such as churches, soccer Moms, etc. The intelligence community needs a drastic restructure to assure that accurate, actionable intelligence reaches the right people with a streamlined funnel of information, depending on a specific category of threat and under a limited number of agencies, such as civilian law enforcement, US military and international.
-Military (includes terrorism) All 6 branches share one intelligence operating center to collaborate and cooperate on actionable enemy intel
-National Law Enforcement (Advanced gang/crime, human trafficking, drug and terrorism divisions). To clarify, when “National” is stated, I am referring to all State and local police departments, State Police and Sheriff departments as a national coop for intel.
-International Intelligence interface for terrorism and cross-country felons. (Information only, NOT for international CIA tactics and infiltration)
