Public Troubled by ‘Deep State’
Monmouth University ^ | March 19, 2018 | not attributed

Posted on 03/19/2018 8:46:53 AM PDT by Leaning Right

A majority of the American public believe that the U.S. government engages in widespread monitoring of its own citizens and worry that the U.S. government could be invading their own privacy. The Monmouth University Poll also finds a large bipartisan majority who feel that national policy is being manipulated or directed by a “Deep State” of unelected government officials. Americans of color on the center and left and NRA members on the right are among those most worried about the reach of government prying into average citizens’ lives.

Everyone - left, right, and center - should give Trump credit for at least one thing. He is exposing the Deep State.

From the article:

“We usually expect opinions on the operation of government to shift depending on which party is in charge. But there’s an ominous feeling by Democrats and Republicans alike that a ‘Deep State’ of unelected operatives are pulling the levers of power,” said Murray.

Apparently the secret occupation government of the USA is the SES:

the Senior Executive Service, comprising about 8000 people.

I am deeply afraid of what our country has become when Obama (and he wasn’t first, just worst) can hijack the IRA, FBI, CIA, DOJ and all the gov’t cabinet agencies and turn them into political organizations - it isn’t just scary, it’s criminal and it’s time we prosecute a President for abuse of power, we have the evidence.

Japanese people are incredibly well educated but there’s an amazing anomaly:

a lot of educated people commonly are unable to name the Prime Minister.

the reason is because in fact elections don’t matter much; the entity that really runs Japan is the permanent bureaucracy.

I noticed that America is becoming more and more like that, where elections are a type of Kabuki.

The other respect in which they’re becoming more alike is news media, where companies actually form a cartel in which they can decide what becomes news and when, and more importantly, what does not become news.

And THAT’S why they all feared an Outsider getting in.
They hated Sara Palin for the same reason.

Woodrow Wilson’s desire to abandon the Constitution and transform America into a progressive enclave run by political masterminds has come true.

The elites have turned on “We The People”.

Just like my Mama told me, it doesn't matter what color you are . . .

It seems likely the hired guns and spooks running these agencies were likely calling the shots and running the whole show. Even Schumer all but admitted it here recently with this comment below.

“Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”.

Even Schumer all but admitted it here recently with this comment where he clearly said the CIA, FBI etc, were most feared were not to be crossed.

The SES brought us to this. Good thing they are an identifiable group. Let the firings and prosecutions commence.

I'd place it at less than 100...the Bilderberger group.

In no small part thanks to Free Traitors™ and their tacit/overt support if the income tax over the import tariff.

What brought this to us was the ability of the Deep State to surveill anyone at will and to blackmail anyone they wish at any time.

That toothpaste is not going back in the tube.
