The US Intelligence Community

Not content with spending more on "defense" than nearly all our potential enemies combined, we also pour billions down the "intelligence" rathole:

The U.S. Intelligence Community is composed of the following 17 organizations:

Two independent agencies - the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA);

Eight Department of Defense elements - the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), and intelligence elements of the four DoD services; the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force;

Seven elements of other departments and agencies - the Department of Energy’s Office of Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence; the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis and U.S. Coast Guard Intelligence; the Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Agency’s Office of National Security Intelligence; the Department of State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research; and the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

Are you, like me, puzzled why the list doesn't include Facebook, Google, Twitter, CNN, and the rest of the MSM and social media organizations?

Are you also puzzled why with so much potential intelligence, we're getting our asses kicked by the Chinese? Might it have something to do with the help given them by the Clintons, the Bidens, and our alleged "friends" the Israelis?

Just asking ...
