The Constitution did not establish the Deep State.

The Constitition didn't do anything to control or prohibit it, however, and so we have the formation of a powerful, unelected, unaccountable, and utterly corrupt national bureaucracy - in our case, the mess of alphabet organizations nominally under the Executive Branch.

They showed during Trump's presidency that they will work against the presidents we elect if they don't approve of the presidents we elect, and they have their hands in everything. The FBI, CIA, NSA, EPA, DHS, DOT, DoD and on and on. The only way to drain that swamp is by defunding the federal government, and that is never going to happen.

The Deep State was created after World War II when a bunch of alphabet “national security” agencies were created.

By the time Eisenhower left office he knew they were out of control and discussed it in his famous military industrial complex speech.

That speech was proven correct less than three years later when the Deep State assassinated a sitting president—and covered it up with Operation Mockingbird keeping the American public (including many Freepers) duped even many decades later.

At this point the Deep State zombie cannot die until the host does.

No politician is going to fix that.

The link to the Eisenhower speech—imho the most important political speech ever made:

Another speech lost in history—JFK knew who his real enemies were:

From the JFK speech—this should sound very familiar:

“It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

Its preparations are concealed, not published.

Its mistakes are buried, not headlined.

Its dissenters are silenced, not praised.

No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”
