The Chip and the Rod

“Nor are former members of the special operations community calling for domestic coup d’états the only optics issue SOCOM is currently facing. Last month, Newsweek gave the public its first formal glance at the vast, undercover intelligence network the military has initiated since 9/11. The Pentagon has been described as possessing a “secret underground army” that’s 60,000 strong. Reportedly, that’s ten times as many clandestine assets as the CIA possesses. And over half of that secret army are special operators. Many of the rest are from some type of military intelligence, especially those involved in SIGINT and cyber.
While a good chunk of this clandestine army principally operates overseas, many are deployed domestically. And the domestic side could be poised for an even greater expansion. The Biden administration has already floated the possibility of using private companies to spy on ” domestic extremists.” This project would theoretically be overseen by the Department of Homeland Security. But the Pentagon is already bellyaching about “extremists” in its ranks as well as its inability to root them out.”
