Secretary Hegseth Threatens the Deep State
American Thinker ^ | 24 Apr, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 04/24/2025 4:10:24 AM PDT by MtnClimber

And the corrupt press continues its sabotage campaign.

It’s been three months since Vice President Vance cast the tie-breaking vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as Defense secretary. The Deep State worked hard to scuttle Hegseth’s nomination in December and January with a steady drip of news stories calling his character into question, but President Trump and his trusted veep stood by their man and applied enough pressure on wayward Republican senators to secure his confirmation. Suddenly, corporate propagandists posing as reporters are back with fresh stories meant to undermine Secretary Hegseth and get him fired from the Pentagon’s top post.

It’s almost as if the Deep State tabled its sabotage campaign for a neat ninety days. Do you think there’s a section in some clandestine handbook on the dark arts of information warfare that recommends a three-month cooling-off period before ramping up operations against a given target? Our domestic spooks have gotten so tiresomely predictable!

Make no mistake: The silly attempts to create a public “narrative” that Secretary Hegseth threatens national security are part of the same Intelligence Community operation that targeted him last winter. It’s quite revealing how desperate the Deep State is to keep “outsiders” away from the levers of power, isn’t it?

If the CIA and its Establishment co-conspirators don’t “own” you, they don’t want you around sticking your nose in their business. And it is big business! They’ve got elections to rig (foreign and domestic!), governments to topple (for the right price), and trillions of dollars in war funding to spend! They can’t let the president of the United States and his secretary of Defense get in their way! Don’t Trump and Hegseth understand that they’re just here for cute photo ops while the permanently installed shadow government runs the global show?

The President knows what is going on. He has seen it many times before.

I would only worry if Hegseth was NOT under constant attack from the Deep State, MSM and Democrats. Again, that would worry me.

Deep State seems okay with Bondi and Patel.

“Deep State seems okay with Bondi and Patel.”

Sure do.

As a Bongino fan, I hope he has major “regerts” about his decision to jump on this bandwagon. If he doesn’t, I’m very disappointed in him.

Deep State vs Real State: A game where inherently predictable unsportsmanlike conduct by Deep State can only work against them, while Real State can afford to play a clean game with a superior playbook. It’s a home game for Real State and the vast majority of the seats are filled with it’s fans and supporters. When it’s all over, we finish it by signing the ball and presenting it to the owner(s) of the losing team. We’ll be indivisible!...With Liberty, Justice and Free Beer for all.

If Patel and Bondi do not arraign the Russiagate-J6 conspirators within 18 months (Midterms), all gains may be for naught

The most relevant points:

So when the Deep State’s favorite journalistic courtesans are back to titillating the public with news of Hegseth’s imminent demise, discerning Americans assume that Trump’s secretary of Defense must be doing something right.  Could the Deep State be mad that Hegseth is purging the military of discriminatory D-I-E initiatives that prioritize racial and sexual identities over competence, hard work, and merit?  Is it mad that he’s successfully rebuilding a warrior culture that is attracting new recruits in record numbers?  Is it mad that he’s prioritizing America’s hemispheric security over nuclear-tipped civil war in Ukraine?  Is it mad that he follows President Trump’s orders and expects his subordinates to do the same?  Is it mad that Secretary Hegseth puts America First?

Easy answer: Yes.
