Keystone of the Deep State

“This was not a politically motivated investigation. There is no deep state,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) last December, as she accused Attorney General William Barr of “unsupported attacks” on the FBI. Contrary to the California Democrat, there is a deep state and it does more than conduct covert operations like the Midyear Exam and Crossfire Hurricane. The central agency of the deep state is not the FBI but the SES, the Senior Executive Service, hiding in plain sight.

“The SES insignia or emblem represents a keystone—the center stone that holds all the stones of an arch in place,” the federal Office of Personnel Management explains. “This represents the critical role of the SES as a central coordinating point between Government’s political leadership which sets the political agenda and the line workers who implement it. Members of the SES translate that political agenda into reality.” The OPM helpfully elaborates.

SES leaders, “serve in the key positions just below the top Presidential appointees” as “the major link between these appointees and the rest of the Federal workforce. They operate and oversee nearly every government activity in approximately 75 Federal agencies,” including the State Department, the Army, Navy, the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security and the Department of Justice. Like the Gershwin brothers, people might wonder how long this has been going on....

"The central agency of the deep state is not the FBI but the SES, the Senior Executive Service, hiding in plain sight."

And it's so pervasive and general knowledge that this is How Things Work the British even had a comedy series about it. We Americans are late to the party.

The DNC has adopted the position of the marxist muslim coalition as projected by Carlos the Jackal and others of his time.
Go read Carlos the Jackal for his opinion of how to bring down the west.
He acknowledged that Marxism by itself could not bring down the west , nor could islam; but an alliance, a coalition of the two could. Obama was both a marxist and a muslim... and a lying radical at that.
Libya? Benghazi was all a part of that. China???
China and the “UN”?
Take out America and the hub of western man takes out the rest.
It’s the Odamination at work.

This is the first I’ve heard of this. Makes me wonder why the Obama executive order didn’t get rescinded. It’s never too late...

This isn’t some kind of secret group. Referring to the “senior executive service” for the feds is like referring to “senior management” for a company. It’s just a classification that lets higher-level leaders in federal agencies get paid a lot more than regular federal workers and gives them extra benefits. There aren’t like meetings of the whole SES.
