"Peter" has some thoughts about the Deep State.
We have known for quite a while that the Deep State existed and that it interfered in elections, giving the edge to Democrats whenever possible. But now there is evidence that their power is much broader and more sinister than we had imagined. Recent revelations by Elon Musk from the Twitter files have disclosed that both the FBI and the CIA were involved in censoring, manipulating data, and banning people of their choosing from the Twitter accounts altogether. Recently unclassified documents (after being sealed for fifty years) disclosed that the CIA played a role in the JFK assassination. Yes, they would even murder a POTUS if he resisted them.
There is no doubt that the Deep State has also penetrated Google, Instagram and other Internet services utilized by nearly all Americans. But it doesn’t stop there. The Deep State has been penetrating and manipulating print media organizations and their individual journalists; TV news organizations and their journalists, producers and management.
With such vast influence (which is self-evident) the Deep State can choose political candidates, winners of elections, the people who are appointed to positions in government from Cabinet members to law enforcement officials at every level. They also control what these politicians and appointees do. A good example is Nancy Pelosi raising the house staff’s salary up to $212,000.00 per year, on her way out the door. These staffers are members of the Deep State; some are even leaders – key cogs in the wheels of corruption.
They have even got their claws into the Republicans. Eighteen Republican Senators voted to pass the monstrous Omnibus Spending Bill, which will foster more inflation and incentivize more people to stop working and collect government handouts instead.
Corruption is the key word here. The Deep State has corrupted democracy itself. There is no democracy where freedom of speech and the freedom to elect our leaders has been lost. Its not a coup against our political leaders, or politics at all. It is a coup against democracy, our system of government under the Constitution, and the Constitution itself. The one thing that ALL government employees and their leaders have sworn an oath to defend.
It is sadly ironic that we have hired the wolves to guard the flock and the wolves know how to bite hard. How will we get rid of them when any attempt to do so results in deep, even mortal wounds. If they can continue to bite and chew up a POTUS resisted them (continuing even after he’s out of office) then what chance have we got to defeat them?
That Muslim terrorist who attacked the NYPD officers came in through the open border with Mexico. How many thousands more terrorists have come in that we don't know about? The open border policy of the Deep State damages our national security but they don't care, as long as the illegals vote, and vote the way they're told. All they care about is holding on to power.

New York State has just authorized human composting. What's next, Soylent Green? This is the sort of thing that happens in an autocracy, just like being under the thumb of the Deep State!

The Muslim terrorist last night hadn't jumped the border. Homegrown radicalized nut teenager from Maine.

Members of the Civil Service are not all members of the Deep State (DS), although a vast majority are members. Those of us that struggle daily against the machinations of the DS find it frustrating during periods of Democratic political control. It would be much easier if the Civil Service were dissolved and their could be a complete cleansing of the ranks of government employees, which would cause a complete drying up of the Swamp.
