Most progressive emags, blogs and news sources shy away from
conspiracy theories such as 9/11, the JFK assassination and the like, and from
their perspective, it makes sense. They’re already marginalized, and their
credibility is important to their very survival, so delving into highly
speculative and controversial “theories” could easily backfire and do more harm
to their reputation than good.
There is one area that some might consider a conspiracy
theory, however, that the progressive media has investigated and written about
extensively, and that is the deep state (great in-depth article here). The deep
state or shadow government consists of people we as citizens know very little
about, yet who are the ones whose hands are actually on the controls of the
surveillance state. This is a relatively small group of civilians and military
personnel who work at the highest levels of the NSA, CIA, Department of Defense
and other far less visible government organizations. They are the keepers of
the secrets.
Sir Francis Bacon is attributed with coining the phase,
“Knowledge is power.” This aphorism has never been so true as it is today. A
small cabal of officials in Washington has the power to find out virtually
anything about anyone, and that includes you, Mr. President, and you, Dianne
Feinstein, and you, potential whistleblower. The deep state has the access to,
and the control over, information that can ruin political careers, embarrass
allies into cooperation and even bring down governments. Bearing all of this in
mind, it should come as no surprise that those who could theoretically reign in
the spymasters, like the president and congress, haven’t done so, and will not
do so in the future.
The idea of the deep state might sound like tin foil hat stuff to some, but it really makes a lot of sense when you consider how little control we the people have over anything done in Washington these days, no matter who we elect to office. Some call it a silent coup, and that seems pretty accurate to me.
