Ep 041 “Storming America: Intelligence Failure is Now and Forever”
This is a continuation of my "Storming America Series" where I will tease out and describe why the inevitable internal attack on America by external forces will be made real.
In this episode, I will examine what intelligence looks like from a professional perspective and why America and the West consistently engage in existential chaos avalanches that make the world a worse place.
The bureaucratic impulse in the West has been a significant factor in making the intelligence community (IC), like the military community, a paper tiger that is a far greater danger to the inhabitants of the west than an ally. Until the IC is restructured and made more effective, it will consume roughly 100 billion a year to produce shoddy analysis, inform bad policy and a Keystone Kops foreign covert operations history that is a national shame.
Like 9/11 and its existential failures, the next attack on America will have them simply asking for more money and more power.
If you leveled the FBI, NSA and CIA tomorrow morning, made each of their budgets one dollar and fired all their employees, you would still be safe as a country.

Customer Reviews
Way better than reason magazine podcast
Reason is such a joke as they claim to be libertarian. The institute is way better and more alignment with libertarian views
Kyle Anzalone 580
You are more biased than NPR. You are ridiculous.
Always consider what it looks like if you reverse the roles. Obviously, you don’t. You are completely biased and are nothing more than a propaganda puppet for one side.
Life is more nuanced than the black and white world you spew.
Homophobic Christian Content
There’s some weirdo Christian bigot on this feed so I’d maybe look elsewhere because of that. Just very misinformed on the Alphabet community fr
