Government Gangsters: How the Deep State Imperils National Security
American Thinker ^ | 21 Oct, 2023 | Janet Levy

Posted on 10/21/2023 7:26:06 AM PDT by MtnClimber

In his new book, Government Gangsters, Kash Patel learned that rhe agents of the Deep State operate through a series of networks, violating their oaths of office, weaponizing the law, and spreading disinformation for political or personal gain.

Like most Americans, Kash Patel grew up believing that the country was run as a democracy, with a government that honors the will of the people and is accountable to them.

It was only much later, as an attorney and then as a senior advisor to former president Donald Trump, that he encountered – and confronted – what has come to be called the Deep State, people at the highest levels of government, business, and culture who subvert democracy to serve their own ends.

In his recent book Government Gangsters: The Deep State, The Truth and the Battle for our Democracy, Patel describes the Deep State in broad terms as the politicization of core American institutions and the federal government. More specifically, this oligarchy includes elected leaders, journalists, business leaders, and NGOs with leftist ideologies. But its most entrenched and active arm comprises “members of the unelected federal bureaucracy who think they have the right to rule America, not Congress or the president.”

The agents of the Deep State operate through a series of networks, violating their oaths of office, weaponizing the law, and spreading disinformation for political or personal gain at the expense of equal justice and national security. He saw them in operation as the lead investigator of the Russiagate hoax. His book is not just the story of how he battled the leviathan, but also about how the Deep State can be defeated for good.

It is incredible how obvious it really is. How so many can be blind and trusting baffles me.

There is a substantial number here who are either Inept, Psyops damage control, or invested in shares of the MIC.

They have their fingers in everything everywhere in one form or another...

“Would Kemp and Raffensberger been able to get away with everything they got away with if they didn’t have trained seals at the county and state legislative levels? “

Excellent reality. Here is the corrupt chain of command.

Globalist Corporations>
MIC>
Federal>
State>
County>
Local LE/Courts.

Notice how few have come and commented in this thread? The war hawks are avoiding the reality of it.

“...federal bureaucracy who think they have the right to rule America, not Congress or the president.”

Hate to say this, but it goes further than this statement. Congress and the president should not be trusted with the rule of America. They are representatives of the people and it is the people that send them there. So the people are messing up ruling themselves. Our education system is designed to teach people how to get things in their possession. So if you send someone who doesn’t care how they succeed except by money or power, then you asked for it.

Intuitive people realize we will never recover from this treason. We realize we are literally in the last days of the United States of America. Word fail me.

If you wondered what it was like in the fall of the Roman empire, just look around you and watch MSM news today.

Well. Caligula never got around to making his horse a Senator, but...the Deep State got a brain-damaged ass placed in the Presidency, so...there’s that for comparative purposes!
