True enough, but IDK if I'd characterise the relationship as "run by Intelligence". Intelligence is more like an interface; between the collusive elite networks and the bureaucracy - between those who decide and those who plan.
I had an army buddy who moved to ASIS, our cringey excuse for a foreign Intelligence service. He was very low level, of course, but his work was mostly comparable to an investigative journalist's, with a bit of social research and a bit of lobbying. The aim was to avoid surprises for our bureaucratic planners, and to facilitate covert contacts between our elites and foreign elites.
I think the Epstein-level and above stuff is often, or even mostly, above Intelligence's paygrade, except so far as membership overlaps with that of elite cliques. Elite cliques were doing these games long before Intelligence bureaucrats were invented. Louis the Pious didn't grant the Jewish community tax exemptions out of the goodness of his heart...
