Rogan confuses the value of institutional knowledge with the self-appointed, assumption of power beyond that of our elected officials.

Bingo! Civil service is different than the idea of a dynastic elite subset operating as a controlling group within all the government structures.

+100. This same cabal of career civil servants shapes our domestic and foreign policy, irregardless of who has been elected to political office or the desire of the electorate. This is the definition of a rogue, unelected shadow government beholden to no one nation, or any one people. I’m not sure who Rogan was interviewing but if h/she didn’t have this basic knowledge, the entire interview was a waste of time.
