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, 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 [[Edward Snowden|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]], starting the [[Libyan War]], arranging the purchase of the ''[[Washington Post]]'' through [[Amazon.com]] as a [[front organization|front]] to influence US domestic policy, politics, and public opinion, and the manufactured Trump-Russia scare to seize control of US [[foreign policy]] from the [[president]] and dictate it themselves.
