The "deep state" is a collective of unelected persons in
positions of government, corporate, and/or social authority, holding a
power obscure an unrestrained, wholly absent any effective means of checking
said power short of direct violence. Membership in the deep state is not
defined by nationality, employment, or any structured authorization of public
acceptance; membership in the deep state is sustained on nothing other than
loyal adherence and useful contribution to the deep state.
The deep state has no visible offices; no assets of it's own; no
public record of its size, disposition, or activities may ever be prepared.
The deep state has never asked society for permission; it takes what it needs
from the host society, and purposes to bend the entire system and structure of
said society towards serving that single end. It's members consider accountability
their enemy, just as much as they consider everyone outside the deep state's
control to be their enemy.
The deep state's efforts to exert control have focused on
infiltration and corruption of bureaucratic agencies and large corporate
entities, from the IRS and Intelligence agencies of the federal government, all
the way down to local zoning boards, who use their power to restrain their
"enemies", while enabling other members of the deep state to grow
their base of power, wealth, and ability to enhance the deep state. In
the corporate sphere, the deep state destroys competition, corrupts the market,
and infiltrates government so as to obtain regulatory authority over itself and
its affairs to the exclusion of any legitimate regulation.
Just like there is no centralized list of membership in Al Qaida
or ISIS, there is no list of the deep states membership, nor any map of it's
members and their realms of control and influence: everything is done through
the exploitation of personal relationships, and everyone along the chain is
compensated for their "contributions" - most often through the
promise of reciprocal "favors" to be returned in the future in
exchange for favors done today.
In short, the deep state is nothing more, and nothing less than
the sum of the equation: Government + Big Business + Greed & Corruption +
Foreign Ideology = Social Devolution and Tyranny
They are not ashamed of their membership in the deep state; they
are in fact proud of it.
They believe that they have found the best solution to their desire for
unbridled power, and consider any question of said pursuit of absolute power to
be an ensign of weakness, and therefore proof of ineligibility for membership
in the deep state. Members enter only by invitation, and invitation comes
only to those who advocate the positions of the deep state voluntarily and
consistently, and who pursue personal power above all else. Loyalty is
the first requirement to membership, and obtaining "useful results"
for the deep state is the currency of highest value amongst its members. Membership
in the deep state can be cancelled at any time, for any reason - but almost
always for one of two reasons: failure to deliver on a promise, or treachery against another member which does not benefit the deep
state to a higher degree than the damage done.
Like I said, the deep state is, first and foremost, a COLLECTIVE - every member must submit to the consensus
which governs it, and produce results which further its aims.
If the deep state sounds like the repugnant "perfection"
of what begins as political corruption - mushroomed out beyond the political
sphere to corrupt the economy, morals, and social well-being of society - then
you're probably not a member of the deep state.
