The book release was delayed by 8 months while the government tried to find reasons to redact as much as they could.
Rip out and abolish 75-80% of the Federal government, root and branch.
Makes for a good book I supposed, but I personally believe the "deep state" actually isn't in government, or even Washington DC necessarily, those are the puppets living there. The real men behind the curtain wouldn't work for a government wage.
They work for government contractors, or large corporations, where salaries aren't limited, and profits are huge, which is what is used to pay the lobbyists, who then issue the payoffs to get the outcome they want. A lot of them are retired Generals, or other high level retirees such as former Cabinet members or leaders of Congress. But they are not in the government anymore, it doesn't pay enough.
Great reality article, thank you.
“Patel also uncovered the workings of an incestuous relationship – the Defense Industrial Complex – between senior military leaders, officers in charge of procurement of military equipment, and defense contractors. These players work to keep America engaged in military conflicts abroad, enriching each other in the process. Patel was disillusioned to find that Mark Esper, Trump’s secretary of state, was a major lobbyist for defense contractor Raytheon and received significant payouts from the firm. Esper thwarted Trump’s agenda for Afghanistan, refusing to draw down troops in Afghanistan, opposing a hostage rescue op, and preventing counterterrorism raids.”
Bingo... And the whole explanation for the speaker of the house issue. The MIC is in full control of our government and will only accept someone they have already purchased.
The United States of America is not and has never been a democracy. It is a republic.
I expect the War Hawk damage control operators to show up in here pretty soon.
the only way to reduce corruption in govt
is to reduce govt
While I will enthusiastically acknowledge that it’s easier said than done, but….the Deep State exists only because of the people that we have elected over the years and the ones we continue to elect.
McCarthy had 9 months to prove that he was legit. He chose not to. He could have crushed the Deep State. He chose not to.
Is it easy to get rid of some of them? No.
But even that isn’t as hard as it might seem as it all starts at the local level.
Be weary of who you elect at the state and county levels. For they are the foundations that all of this sh*t rests upon.
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? Same for Arizona.
No question the extent of US govern\ment corruption makes the Mafia look like a Sunday school picnic.
“...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.
