The United States Intelligence Community (IC) is the official euphemism given to the 16 member intelligence community that loosely reports to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). ODNI, and its head, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), replaced the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) as the central collection point of intelligence in a series of supposed reforms following the 9/11 Commission Report.
The 16 members of the IC are:
- Defense Intelligence Agency
- National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
- National Reconnaissance Office
- National Security Agency
- Military Intelligence Corps
- Office of Naval Intelligence
- Twenty-Fifth Air Force
- Marine Corps Intelligence
- DHS Coast Guard Intelligence
- DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis
- Central Intelligence Agency
- State Dept. Bureau of Intelligence and Research
- Treasury Dept. Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence
- DEA Office of National Security Intelligence
- FBI Intelligence Branch
- Dept. of Energy Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence
Critics sometimes refer to elements of the Deep State residing in the Intelligence Community. The Snowden revelations uncovered massive illegal abuses, 4th Amendment violations, and unaccountability to Congress, the Supreme Court, and the White House. Since the CIA demotion as the central collector of intelligence, the CIA has become even more unhinged in it's involvement in sparking the Libyan War, training and equipping the Islamic State,[1] starting the Syrian War with it's resultant European migrant crisis, arranging the purchase of the Washington Post through Amazon.com as a front to influence US domestic policy, politics, and public opinion, and the manufactured Trump-Russia scare to seize control of the foreign policy perogative of the president and dictate it themselves, unelected, unaccountable to no one, with the ability to blackmail anyone, including Members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, Presidents and their staff with IC's unlimited electronic surveillance capabilities.
