I thought the JFK killing was unusual and only the result of a short-term conspiracy on between the Mob (did the killing) and the Intelligence agencies/media (the cover-up.)
Then came the murders of RFK and MLK using the same scenario-Lone Nut kills for no discernible reason and some years later the removal of Nixon. All these people were coming up against the Secret Team/Deep State. Nixon was spied upon like Trump and was set up, imho.
American mythology teaches that this nation has been and is functioning on the basis of republican principles but it actually has been the history of political violence as well as actual violence. Vote fraud has occurred in every election, some without much effort to disguise it. We are witnessing the former and I fear soon the latter. Trump is not going to stand down.
I generally find that "follow the money" is some darn good advise. Anyone who thinks a government that controls billions of dollars in spending (now trillions) will not have significant corruption is a fool with no sense of history or knowledge of human nature.
What we now call 'deep state' is really nothing new. The transnationalists have had control of major parts of our government since at least the 1920s. The tranzis have many goals, and none of them are for our best interests.
