‘But as we’ve seen time and again, the gap between policy and practice is where failures thrive.’ Or, where the insidious plans to infiltrate and pervert the original mandate. It seems plausible that we have too many federal-level entities that are not mandated or under the authority of the Constitution. I worked several major hurricane responses and recoveries with FEMA, Region IV (Atlanta) and the coordination between state, local, other state compacts with IV was good. But, we had planned and pre-coordinated operations and roles together. The first time we had an issue….when someone was sent from DC FEMA.
The descriptions you’ve provided are exactly how we were told these agencies’ roles and responsibilities were. Infiltration (planned) changed this over time, expanding roles, controls, etc., all hidden from the public. The school shootings and the other incidents (with hindsight) reveal how well the infiltration worked. We must mandate a complete review of all federal agencies in accordance with the federal level of responsibility stated in the Constitution. Why do we need 17-19 federal intelligence operations in the various bureaucracies?
Wonderful information and a map to restore limited authority at the federal level. I’m saving this series for future reference.
THANK YOU
