Tia is nothing that Ike warned of. He was afraid of military officers

[RoosterRedux]

Ike may have been afraid of defense contractors and the military because he was a military man. Without saying so, and possibly without realizing it, he was telling us a bigger truth...the unaccountable government bureaucracy and its corporate enablers is the real beast.

We may think we are free because the Constitution tells us so, but we are far from free.

The Deep State is in control and our politicians in the Swamp know this. There is no clear command and control mechanism or central brain as is evidenced by the general sloppiness of the Deep State's movements but that makes it almost impossible to kill.

It wasn't the Democrats who raided Mar-a-Lago. And it wasn't the Democrats who refused to prosecute Hillary for the Russia collusion narrative. It was the Establishment, the Deep State.

Of course, all this Deep State is the Beast might be erroneous speculation. But then it might not.
