PERSONAL FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Dear Mr. President,

I believe there is a great deal you are not being told.  In his book, Bureaucratic Politics and Foreign Policy Mort Halperin defined RULE 1 in Washington: “Lie to the President if you can get away with it.” The greatest of these lies are the lies of omission – what you are not being told for lack of a proper intelligence (decision-support) process that in turn drives the development of a proper grand strategy and inter-agency architecture.

You do not need to read the enclosed volume, only the integrated one-page graphic.  The 201 pages are for everyone else receiving a copy, and their staffs. Both outline possibilities that your Cabinet is not able to offer for lack of both intelligence (decision-support) and imagination.  Your instincts have been phenomenally on target.

You need a new Director of National Intelligence (DNI) who can give you, your Cabinet, and all your officers – uniformed and civilian – 100% decision-support instead of 4%. There are two keys to taking down the Deep State: the first is to reduce the secret IC by 70% while also moving the NIC to the EOP and creating the Open Source Agency (OSA) that CIA has fought me on since 1988.  You can apply the savings toward retraining all those let go (a “soft landing” as you cut the size of government) while also creating real jobs in the heartland. With the Trump Studio and truth channel provided by the OSA, and #UNRIG – election reform, you assure the Mother of All Landslides in 2020.

The second key is the closing of all our bases overseas – stop being everyone else’s Army and bring those dollars (and jobs) home. There is a role for DoD here at home – a return to the Home Guard concept.  Congress will go along if you show that transformation can be job and revenue neutral state by state and district by district. We need to stop letting the Deep State treat DoD as its piggy bank and enforcer – war is a racket, and only you can stop that racket.  I seek to help you. You cannot Make America Great Again without first dealing with the endless-war/regime-change complex that also uses our bases as lily pads for human and drug trafficking.  My proposals can augment your own good instincts and intentions.  The U.S. Army, soul of the Republic, can and will follow your direction.

Very respectfully,
/s/
Robert David Steele
