Likewise: in the age of conspiracy, conspiracy theorist is the bad word.

Therefore there is DEFINITELY a deep state. Nice to get confirmation..

Comey, I don't care how much you've watched Star Wars, the fucking Mind Trick only works if you're a Jedi strong in the ways of the Force (and you're not) against the weak-minded (and we're not) so please fuck off with the hand-waving and that stupid attempt at seduction voice.

James Comey is in some deep shit.

Essay: Anatomy of the Deep State

February 21, 2014

by Mike Lofgren

Yes, there is another government concealed behind the one that is visible at either end of Pennsylvania Avenue, a hybrid entity of public and private institutions ruling the country…


How did I come to write an analysis of the Deep State, and why am I equipped to write it? As a congressional staff member for 28 years specializing in national security and possessing a top secret security clearance , I was at least on the fringes of the world I am describing, if neither totally in it by virtue of full membership nor of it by psychological disposition. But, like virtually every employed person, I became, to some extent, assimilated into the culture of the institution I worked for, and only by slow degrees, starting before the invasion of Iraq, did I begin fundamentally to question the reasons of state that motivate the people who are, to quote George W. Bush, “the deciders.”


All complex societies have an establishment, a social network committed to its own enrichment and perpetuation. In terms of its scope, financial resources and sheer global reach, the American hybrid state, the Deep State, is in a class by itself. That said, it is neither omniscient nor invincible. The institution is not so much sinister (although it has highly sinister aspects) as it is relentlessly well entrenched. Far from being invincible, its failures, such as those in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, are routine enough that it is only the Deep State’s protectiveness towards its higher-ranking personnel that allows them to escape the consequences of their frequent ineptitude.

Either comey is a liar or he's incompetent, and chances are, it's probably both, as usual

"There's no deep state, but there is a deep culture" ... so a deep state then.

vastrightwing

Technically he's correct. But there is an oligarchy and corporate feudalism. This amounts to the same thing. These criminals are all focused on the same goal, which is to control and know everything. So even though there may not be a formal organization as such, the emergent aspect is the same.

GreaseLightning

"there is no deep state", says deep state

BlueDrache

If it looks like bullshit, smells like bullshit and fertilizes like bullshit ... I'm calling bullshit.

RampancyLambentRaven

James Crumby said that there was a deep state. This grumpy sucker is acting like fish bait. What does this dumby crumby grumpy fucky fucker sucker wish? Hate. Now his head is going from stuck up his stuck up ass to being cut off. And he's running around like a chicken shit with his head cut off as the expression goes cough cough that's sick cough. Only his head is stuck up his ass. Toot fart gas. James Crumby is on the hook squirming. And his speech is slurring. Like he's drunk and now he's going for a dunk. James Crumby is Gumby. He bends so much the truth bends with him. He can just bend on a whim like i can rhyme to the rhythm. Yeah.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain

You mean the deep state that pundits, electors, governors, and former NSA agents were openly discussing after Trump's election?

Atarian

The same deep state that they were begging to save them from the monster that was Trump?

gentlemanadventurer

He's a known liar. So there is a Deep State.

Tb0n3

Not how it works.

citrion

He's a known liar. So his refutation of the existence of a Deep State is negated, meaning that one should revert to the default assumptions about the existence of a Deep State. So there is a Deep State.

Filled in the details to make it work

Tb0n3

The default assumption requires the least assumptions and that is that it doesn't exist.

citrion

the default assumption is the most intuitively obvious one, and that is that it does exist

gentlemanadventurer

You go work it your way. Good luck, toon goon.
