Here’s a fact for the media to chew on: The “deep state” is here. As outlined in Foreign Policy, the concept of the deep state is nothing new. But the Trump presidency may serve as the galvanizing force that links some of the formal established Democratic opposition forces, including MoveOn.org, government unions and Black Lives Matter with the informal deep-state cadre of disgruntled liberal bureaucrats, the hostile mainstream media and the usual suspects on the left. It’s a troubling phenomenon, with anti-Trump organizations and Democratic-aligned civil servants conspiring to actively work against the incumbent government.
There might not be any central command guiding the deep-state actions, but it’s not hard for card-carrying Democratic party members, the mainstream media, liberal think tanks, government unions and other anti-Republican liberals of various stripes to naturally form into a collective grain that runs contrary to whatever elected Republicans in Congress and now in the White House want to accomplish. It’s just like when a school of fish move in unison, choreographed not because of some planned effort, but because it is in their nature. The bias against President Trump has become frantic, and the Democrats and their allies in the media overreach almost daily in attacking the president and Republicans in general.
“Deep state” is a sexy new label being used in Washington to describe embedded anonymous bureaucratic bias against President Trump and Republican rule. Specifically, the deep state is leaking documents, making confidential conversations public, pushing rogue social media accounts and otherwise acting in an underhanded manner to discredit the president, his Cabinet and the policy objectives of the Republicans. The use of encrypted chat programs to communicate and the continued leaks to various media outlets are just the start.

I am amazed that this was on the Washington ComPost!
America is an oligarchy, in fact most countries are. Carroll Quigley is a Harvard PhD and Professor at Georgetown University and was Bill Clinton’s mentor.
In 1966 he wrote “Tragedy and Hope.” He was given access to the secret archives in the Council on Foreign Relations. The CFR was created in about 1921 but it was an extension of The Inquiry that was created at the same time as the Federal Reserve under Wilson.
In it he said that in 1900 over 50% of America was controlled by 26 families. In 1930 eight families controlled over 75% of Japan.
The Reece Commission on Tax Exempt Foundations in 1953 found that the large foundations (Carnegie, Rockefeller, Ford, Guggenheim, etc) all conspired together to change education, keep the US at war, and control foreign policy by gaining control of the State Department.
This was the beginning of the shadow government we have today.
Do your homework, Rogers - the alt-right was calling itself that years ago.
There is an actual “alt-right”, but the left is using the term to smear all conservatives / Republicans.
I think George Soros and the other “Globalists” want open borders to create so much chaos that a world dictator is required. They want the total destruction of freedom.
Scroll through the titles there for four or five pages and see if you think that's all due to leftist sputtering about their loss.
The following is also an excellent read on what the left is currently engaged in.
Victor Davis Hanson: Seven Days in February
Trumps’ critics, left and right, aim to bring about the cataclysm they predicted.
Yes, it appears that is one goal. I think they are also having trouble controlling ‘white’ people and would prefer a mixed race population (the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan.)
Here’s a good quote that addresses your point:
Today, Americans would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow, they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by their world government.
-Henry Kissinger, in an address to the Bilderberg Group at Evian, France, May 21, 1992, and transcribed from a tape recording made by a Swiss delegate, Michael Ringier, Publisher and CEO of Ringier Inc.
But this “actual alt right” you’re talking about is just made up nonsense by a single individual.
And the Washington ComPost is a worthless Leftist bird cage liner.
The deep state anymore is just make work, like the civilian conservation corps. Like Tony Stark said of the soldier flashing the peace sign for the photo, ‘peace? with peace you and me’d both be out of a job.’
I love a good ass-whoopin’ of the enemy, but when the ass-whoopers turn their sights on our President, they gotta go.
Glenn Beck has warned about the alt right before.
The benefit of having two governments- the real unchanging government and the made for TV government that changes every 4-8 years is that when there is a national disaster, before the dust settles, the government is already in place to adjust the interest rates. Up. Oy vey!
Do you have a link to the entire tape recording?
Did you see the 4chan thread from “libertarian leaning congressional staffer” last night? It was pretty short but he mentioned the shadow government and people in congress.
Here is the 4chan:
An easier to read version is here:
True. But my point is that the left is using that term to smear everybody on the right.
No I don’t. Don’t think it was made public.
This is called a “modified limited hangout”. If you read through to the end you can see the pretense that the Deep State is something in the process of forming (a minimizing fiction), not something that has controlled the nation with an all but iron fist for the entire post-WW2 era (the reality).
