I am coming more and more to believe this "deep state" is actually a thing, and not a paranoid illusion from people who look for conspiracies in everything.
Oddly enough I have arrived at my current position by arguing about the Civil War. I believe that just prior to it is approximately when the "deep state" stuff began.
That’s intriguing. I would not have imagined it went back that far.
The strongest evidence I know of the Deep State is this: after certain murders, no effort is made to find the killer. Take Seth Rich. Not only did the DC police not investigate, they tipped Debbie Wasserman Schultz off when a PI, Rod Wheeler, started probing the case. She confronted him and demanded to know what he was looking for.
Here are some other comments Wheeler made:
“The police department nor the FBI have been forthcoming,” said Wheeler. “They haven’t been cooperating at all. I believe that the answer to solving his death lies on that computer, which I believe is either at the police department or either at the FBI. I have been told both.”
When we asked Wheeler if his sources have told him there is information that links Rich to Wikileaks, he said, “Absolutely. Yeah. That’s confirmed.”
The police say it was a robbery gone bad. Assange said Seth Rich leaked info to him.
I believe Assange.
