how does that work out relative to our population?? the math scares me!

[Responsibility2nd]

I wonder how many of those employees are hired just to spy on other employees?

[a fool in paradise]

No Such Agency has a lot of people!

How many of those folks work as reporters and editors for the MSM? From what I heard, it’s more than you might expect. I heard there are even a few neoconservative GOPer journalists working for Obama. Hint, see if you can find any GOPer reporters supporting a Syrian War. This is when Obama asks them to step up to the plate.

I think it comes to around 1 spy for every 3000 people in America. That’s a lot of spooks. But, when you add in all the people in the world it comes to around 1 per 70,000. That’s a lot of snooping for one person. However, consider they have access to the most powerful computers in the world and the ratio is still scary.

And all of them KNOW NOTHING about Bengazi.

The election suggests that out of 300,000,000 people in the U.S. there are only about 145,000,000 with intelligence.

Not much of an intelligence community if we can find out how many employees are actually employed by the intelligence community.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Well, let’s see now. The population of the US is 311,591,917 according to the most recent census. There are 107,035 intelligence employees. Let’s make it simple (after all, this IS government work) and say 300 million and 100 thousand. So that is 3E8 / 1E5 or 3E3. So you have 3,000 people per employee. See how easy that is?

Sleep comfortably knowing you almost have your own personal agent acting as your guardian angel.

Took so many to find an IQ point?
