I: Organizational chart?

<Call me a newbie and follow my thought processes. I was reading a link to an interview with former Director of National Intelligence, John Negropointe dated back in 2005. The interview elucidated priorites concerning terrorist, Iraq, Afghanistan and North Korea. I never realized that what goes on at home can influence policy abroad (i.e. private interest dictating and directing foreign affairs. Might be a case for the alternative history files, but still. I wonder.>

How Scientologists Created a Cult of the U.S. Government
In July of 1977, the FBI conducted three early-morning raids of Scientology Guardian Office facilities (the Guardian Office was Hubbard’s Intelligence agency). Senior GO personnel were sent to jail as a result, and the GO was disestablished afterwards. Prior to this raid, there was a virtual intelligence war between the cult of Scientologists and U.S. government agencies. Scientologists dedicated an inordinate amount of resources and time to infiltrating U.S. agencies – even by simply using low-level positions in order to “convert” others within the agency over to Scientology. L Ron Hubbard’s ultimate goal was to obtain whatever Scientology related documents existed within various government organizations. L Ron Hubbard had filed countless FOIA lawsuits leading up to that critical point when the FBI raid took place. With these raids, the U.S. intelligence complex dealt Scientology a deadly blow.
The U.S. Government Gets Infected
Meanwhile, due to the volumes of documents released many years later in the 1990s, the public now knows that at the time of these raids, in the 1970’s, the CIA was not averse to using Scientology auditing “technology” through the employment of high-level Scientology OTs. Keep in mind, these were guys where active members of a cult that was actively taking part in Intelligence warfare with the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies. Yet the top three guys running the SRI-CIA contract were, all three, high level Scientologists. One of whom, Hal Puthoff, had such a close relationship with L Ron Hubbard that he even wrote the preface for one of his books. Ingo Swan, who essentially was the one who developed the “remote-viewing” techniques, used the cult of Scientology methodologies that he’d obtained from high-level Scientology documents that, at the time, were well-protected by the Guardian Office. At the point of these raids, these scientologists had already begun training CIA personnel in using these “methodologies,” or auditing procedures, which some have described as a form of hypnosis, or brain-washing.
The CIA allowed these three Scientologists to spread this belief system created by the cult of Scientology, and allowed them to infect other personnel within the agency with this doctrine and these practices. These personnel in turn, as well as Swann himself, spread these techniques to other agencies as well as the military, such as the research and operations conducted at INSCOM, Fort Meade. A religion was born…except our government could legally practice it. At the point of these raids, the IRS had conveniently official removed its tax-exempt status. This meant that as far as the U.S. Federal Government was concerned, Scientology was not a “religion.” This removed the government from its obligations to respect and maintain a “hands-off” approach regarding religious beliefs. With the cult of Scientology no longer officially classified as a religion, the government was free to do as it wanted, and it proceeded to treat the organization as an Intelligence threat. Its secrets, once finally obtained from the GO raid, could be utilized in the “best interests” of the United States. If the claimed abilities allegedly generated by auditing procedures were shown to be effective – the government would have yet another weapon in its massive military-industrial arsenal.
Little did the CIA know that they had just allowed an infectious virus into their inner sactum.
