Four Ways the Deep State Betrays Americans
By J.B. Shurk

Why is it that whenever I call customer support to get a replacement for my broken America, I end up on the line with an operator from China? I kid…but only a little. Four separate stories this last week hit the nail on the head:

(1) In defending America’s two-tiered (in)justice system currently dedicated to covering up Biden family crimes while persecuting Trump and his supporters, Gestapo chief Merrick Garland had the audacity to declare that any condemnation of the secret police “constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy and essential to the safety of the American people.”

Hear that, plebes? “Democracy” will survive only if the people’s voices are silenced and the powerful institutions are obeyed. The opinions of commoners are “attacks,” while the crimes of institutions are “essential.” To save “democracy,” defend the dictatorship! If Garland had been speaking German, he could have easily been mistaken for Himmler or Heydrich defending the “Night of the Long Knives” as necessary for “public safety.” The death of “democracy” always comes from a thousand separate cuts made for the people’s “own good.”

(2) Pretend President Biden stumbled into California to push his plans for gun confiscation and mocked the idea that the Second Amendment is an essential check against government tyranny. “So what’s the deal with the idea that it’s an absolute?” Dementia Joe mumbled. “You know, the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots. Well, if [you] want to do that, you want to work against the government, you need an F-16. You need something else than just an AR-15 anyway.”

Amazingly, in a speech geared toward justifying the government’s unconstitutional disarming of Americans, the puppet-in-chief bemoaned how “freedom is really under siege, particularly freedom of choice.” In constructing a system of checks and balances, how did the Founding Fathers empower Americans to defend their freedoms? That’s right: by making it perfectly clear through the Second Amendment that self-defense against government tyranny is an inalienable right. Biden says freedom is “under siege,” and what does he want to do? Disarm Americans. Hello, customer support, why is my Bill of Rights riddled with holes and written in Chinese? Ah, that’s right, because the American president who has been caught taking bribes from the Chinese Communist Party sent in F-16s to obliterate Americans’ constitutional freedoms.

Who are members of the Deep State.

Deep state in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American conspiracy theory known as Qanon pushes the theory that the U.S. federal government is being controlled by the “deep state”. The popular QAnon slogan “WWG1WGA” (“Where we go one, we go all”), with a reference to The Matrix, is painted on this SUV.

According to an American political conspiracy theory, the deep state is a clandestine network of members of the federal government (especially within the FBI and CIA), working in conjunction with high-level financial and industrial entities and leaders, to exercise power alongside or within the elected United States government.

The term deep state originated in the 1990s as a reference to an alleged longtime deep state in Turkey, but began to be used to refer to the American government as well, including during the Obama administration. However, the theory reached mainstream recognition under the presidency of Donald Trump, who referenced an alleged “deep state” working against him and his administration’s agenda. The use of Trump’s Twitter account, combined with other elements of right-wing populist movements during his presidency, gave birth to numerous conspiracy theory groups, such as Qanon.

The term has precedents since at least the 1950s, including the concept of the military–industrial complex, which posits a cabal of generals and defense contractors who enrich themselves through pushing the country into endless wars.

Opinion polling done in 2017 and 2018 suggests that approximately half of all Americans believe in the existence of a deep state.
