This would mean what, practically? True oversight? No entrepreneurial budgets? Asset tag accounting? Black sites sold/closed?

I don't see anything about this online (other than tweets like this).

It could be a response to Jared's security clearance being downgraded.

Or to Citizens, Inc. (stockmarket abbreviation CIA) being downgraded by rating authorities.

It's hard to find out what Citizens actually does or makes, but I guess it has something to do with insurance.

Or maybe with the other CIA.

Putting the CIA under the NSA would be glorious.

Yes, as long as the CIA doesn't corrupt the NSA. A lot of bad eggs from the CIA need to be jettisoned.

Maybe this is why mockingbird suddenly seems broken.

The CIA and NSA have been always trying to one-up each other. CIA was demoted to a peer of NSA when the Director of National Intelligence was established.

NSA and CIA are different. I could see some re-arrangement of pieces. Human intelligence of CIA, similar of DIA, and the “operations” component of FBI counterintelligence could all bundle together as human-sourced intelligence (parallel to NSA’s SIGINT and NGA mission) Analysis component of DIA stays in DOD, Analysis component of FBI stays in DOJ, and analysis of CIA would be folded into the Dept of State. CIA as stand-alone agency could be eliminated and any cross-departmental analysis would be appended to DNI.

I think he outed himself and lost some security clearances.

Is this why Ben Rhodes started his own Natl Sec Council today, to hire all the spooks that will be leaving?

Departments are bigger and higher up than Agencies, aren’t they?

Here is John Salisbury updated post on this:

Truman who started the CIA regretted it two years later saying the agency is rogue. The NSA as sinister as it may seem isn't rogue.

I'm hoping this is the end of operation mockingbird and many of their black operations that are harming in a controlling way the American people.

Speaking of which.... Maddog illustrated what can happen to ‘unidentified’ combatants the other day at the bridge. Maybe he’s hinting to his counterparts in other ~allyish countries they’re free to do the same with any of our non-commissioned unapproved people of ours they find causing problems within their borders.

“analysis of CIA would be folded into the Dept of State.’

Live just outside the D.C.

State has been know for years as being the slimiest swamp we have ever had!!! I started to hear how bad State was when I moved here 25 years ago. Why do you think Bammy gave it to PIAPS???

State is the first agency that should be bleached. Several times!!!! And then some.
