Obama is the errand boy for the deep state
Fine, who’s the power broker within the deep state?
I think one way to look at this is to use history as our friend.
Consider the late Roman Empire.
There was an Emperor—but that person was usually a figure-head.
There was a Senate who had a lot of power for sure—and then there were commercial interests behind them.
In the late stages of the Empire there was no unified conspiracy—this was every crook out for themselves—grab what you can while you can.
That is my read of what we have now.
What is called “government” is drifting towards anarchy—every thief for themselves.
