For decades, the deep state has quietly manipulated American institutions, consolidating power beyond the reach of the electorate. Two distinct efforts—Operation Mockingbird and the contemporary DOGE (Disclosure of Government Expenditures) movement—highlight different aspects of this subversion.

Trusted News Initiative basically being the international version of Operation Mockingbird.
As Mike Benz described it: Your house is a Republic, and you’ve got a giant pit-bull-bear-wolf-dragon (the CIA) outside guarding it because you live in a tough neighborhood
You may need this creature guarding your property, but whatever you do, DON’T let it come into the house.
We let it in the house....

I'm wondering how that might be enforced given the entanglements of corporate affiliations, government contracts, and grants.
There. Fixed it.
Make it a ten-year ban just to get rid of the revolving-door practices..............

Dismantle the FBI, CIA, alphabet agencies. Then create new services only for specific missions, subject to the President and Congress
