What’s with this “Deep State” crap? All of a sudden.

I never heard of it before. Now it’s the most popular word/phrase in all of media. It’s today’s “Gravitas”.

deep state

noun: deep state; plural noun: deep states

a body of people, typically influential members of government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy.
“the deep state and its policy of allowing extremist ideologies to flourish may be the actual issues of concern”
Origin
1990s: probably a translation of Turkish derin devlet (the term was first used with reference to Turkey).

It’s not new. It is descriptive of the unelected layer of globalists who run things regardless of what puppet is elected by the people. The people were supposed to select Hillary or Bush as President, but somehow by accident or providence Trump got in. This upsets the globalists who see their control threatened.

So in other words, the deep state is a group of traitors who should be publicly hung and left for the birds.
