Halt non-aligned CIA activities; break D.C. cabal by relocating elements
Mandate tells CIA leadership to halt programs contradicting presidential agenda, insert political/aligned mid-level leaders, change promotion criteria away from social engineering, incentivize operational excellence, and permanently move parts of CIA out of Washington.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 7 (Intelligence Community) — CIA: if program/operation not responsive to President’s agenda, Director should immediately halt it; instruct insertion of new mid-level leaders across directorates/mission centers; implement promotion criteria changes away from social engineering; permanently moving elements out of D.C. to break cabal of bureaucrats; broaden recruitment; refocus incentives on espionage excellence.
Undo plan
1) Require lawful covert-action findings and congressional notification before program halts/starts.
2) Prevent loyalty purges of career officers for prior Administration service.
3) Relocations only with mission rationale, cost analysis, and workforce safeguards.
4) Keep promotion standards tied to tradecraft, language, and integrity—not politics.
5) Verify: CIA IG reviews of halted programs; workforce relocation outcomes.
