The main problem with the “deep state” theory is that it needs a leader or leaders. So people reach into the grab bag of sinister leaders in the shadows and voila, there are the Rothschilds. The better explanation is that there are myriad interests and fleeting alliances including Saudis, who last time I checked, are not Jewish.
Tom Bethell and Joe Sobran came up with the metaphor of ‘The Hive’ to describe the group dynamics of the Left. I think it applies equally well to what is going on with the Deep State:
“The Hive was not, and is not, a conspiracy; it’s more a pattern. Naive anti-Communists, seeing the pattern, have mistaken it for a conspiracy. The Bees, on the other hand, have made their own mistake. Knowing that they aren’t parties to a conspiracy, they fail to see the evident pattern of their collective behavior. By sheer, insectlike instinct, they obey not the dictates of a foreign power, but the internal logic of their own nature, their yearning for a secularist and socialist political order.”

“Readers who go way back may recall an earlier column [American Spectator, “Capitol Ideas,” circa 1981] in which the beehive was used as a metaphor for the world socialist enterprise — the community of progressives. The Hive image, first proposed by the writer Joseph Sobran, illustrated the key point that liberals and Communists, seemingly distinct, belong to the same Hive. They share the same goals, even if they perform different tasks. The metaphor allows us to speak of their activities as coordinated without having to invoke a conspiracy. “
