Intelligence, the invisible fourth branch of government, obtained overwhelming dominance after the Second World War with them rise of the ideology of technology, the emergence of new tools for communications and surveillance, and has emerged over the last two decades as an unprecedented political, military, and economic power. We will discuss how exactly intelligence developed into the powerhouse it is today, what form it takes in the United States, and globally, and how it has fused together with politics, with finance, with academics and research, and with journalism. The discussion will conclude with a few thoughts about how the beast can be tamed, eliminated, or destroyed at home, and globally—and what our policies towards information should be in the future
