I think that the “crazies” are just trying to undermine western civilization so they are really just power hungry too.
Author is whistling past the graveyard.
“Because of these considerations, I don’t think the alliance between the surveillance state and what looks like an increasingly lunatic ruling class can last.”
This very acceptance of insanity is their proof of the power they wield over us. The source of the surveillance state’s power IS the crazies. They are one.
Useful idiots, they don't call them "tools" for nothing... :(
It's the motives of the "deep state" that worries me..
I would agree with the writer except that this insane movement is worldwide. It seems hardly likely that those from within the insane group will right the ship. It seems more logical that a George Washington type will accomplish that.
There will not be a smoking gun document related to 11/22/63. If there ever was such a document, it would “inexplicably” gone missing, just like JFK’s brain. Feral givernment agency actors know how to commit crimes against its citizens. They are unaccountable, they know how to hide behind “I am not able to speak about that”, or “the agency cannot divulge its methods and sources” ad infinitum. Even in the rare instance that they commit perjury, like lying on FISA applications, nothing happens. When more redacted information is released, we will see that a large part of it should never have been redacted.
My prediction is that the unreleased documents might cast some light on what and when the Sea Eye A knew, some of its relationship with Oswald. Allen Dulles - DCI, fired by JFK over Bay of Pigs, was appointed to be on ... the Warren Commission! It will also show that the Warren Commission was a farce - its real task was only to assemble enough of the “right evidence” to show “only one plausible conclusion” that Oswald was an anti-American nut who acted alone. At this late date, no one will care that the American people were set up and lied to by the Warren Commission and its givernment. Just like today with Twitter-gate...no one cares because the 4th estate is dead.
“At some point, unless I’m mistaken, the more pragmatic but not conspicuously moral elements of the government that are driven by a lust for power but not woke ideology will turn on their unhinged allies. Exactly what form this will take is not yet clear.”
One cannot successfully “turn on” the Deep State, can one?
What is meant by this idle prediction?
Oh, c’mon man.
It seems that everyone has forgotten about the unsolved mystery tagged ‘Awan Bros. IT Scandal’.
IMHO, it was a peek inside DS and its efforts to ensnare those who control the purse.
There are only a handful of holdouts, and one only needs to scan the news for their names as DS continues to try to discredit/persecute/marginalize them.
IOW, this ‘war’ began long ago and it’s long past due that the rest of us recognized it for what it is.
If deranged neo-Marxist politicians are elected, and deranged bureaucrats are installed and promoted, how exactly will pragmatic bureaucrats peacefully depose them?
Hitler exactly copied Lenin's strategy for taking over a government - total focus on the Police, the Prosecutors, and the Judges.
The American Left is following the same plan.
It's based on MONEY, we go woke, you leave us alone to make billions and don't regulate us.
“I’m still trying to figure out where the close alliance between surveillance agencies and the woke Left, which has been evident since at least the Obama Administration, may lead. I have no doubt this friendship is based more on power considerations than ideological affinity.”
Actually, intelligence personnel have always leaned to the left, not the right. Their core membership was East coast elite Ivy League graduates, who do not tend to be conservatives at all.
They simply opposed communism because it was a foreign influence operation. After Russia was defeated, that wasn’t a threat anymore so they were free to sidle right up with the Marxists.
