When Obama left office he publicly stated that he had a 50,000 strong “shadow government” in place, meaning that he was still in charge.
From this I suppose Obama has his people implanted in every government agency.
Obama was a puppet for 8 years.
There is a shadow government but Obama was never in charge of it.
Since Eisenhower, the shadow government has been in control of and happy with whoever gets installed as POTUS, with the exception of Nixon, Reagan and Trump.
Some people like to add JFK to the list of anti shadow government Presidents, because he talked tough and got assassinated - but I doubt any Democrat is a real threat to the shadow government. More likely, JFK simply picked the wrong VP and the MIC thought they could make a bit more money with Johnson as POTUS.
Obama may have planted 50,000 minions, but only a few are actually pulling the strings. The same names keep coming up over and over again. These are the ones that are running the show and are in on the planning. The 50,000 could be called upon as needed to execute a particular part of a Deep State operation, but they will never be read into the full workings of the Deep State. They can’t read in all 50,000 or they would risk intentional and unintentional leaks. If the 500-1000 are exposed and or run out of government, the 50,000 will be directionless. They still could cause harm to nation, but nowhere near what the Deep State can do at this time.
