President Trump Has Declared War on the Deep State – Kevin Shipp
2018-01-21
[The Daily Coin] Former "high-level" CIA officer Kevin Shipp says President Trump has "declared war" on the so-called Deep State and the shadow government. Shipp explains, "I differentiate between the ’Deep State’ and the shadow government. The shadow government are the secret intelligence agencies that have such power and secrecy that they act even without the knowledge of Congress.

There are many things that they do with impunity. Then there is the ’Deep State,’ which is the military industrial complex, all of the industrial corporations and their lobbyists, and they have all the money, power and greed that give all the money to the Senators and Congressmen. So, they are connected, but they are really two different entities. It is the shadow government . . . specifically, the CIA, that is going after Donald Trump. It is terrified that some of its dealings are going to be exposed. If they are, it could jeopardize the entire organization."

#7  WRT bureaucrats

Pope John XXIII: "In reply to a reporter who asked, 'How many people work in the Vatican?', he reportedly said: 'About half of them.'"

#6   The "Deep State" goes back way before N'Obama & Hitlary and knows no party line.

I'd go back as far as LBJ in the 1960s, but that's a quibble.

Bill Clinton.. more likely.

#5  What DooDahMan said - state governments are largely made up of Democrats as well. I think of it this way - it's hack jobs for hack people. Which political party do 'hack people' vote for?

#3  We, just like most if all not countries have always had a "Deep State" working for an agenda. The agendas change, the goals change but the "Deep State" is always there. During the upheavalls of 1848 IIRC someone asked Metternick about the b'crats labouring at their desks. "What will become of them?" He replied " Nothing, they will always be with us." Or words to that effect. The Deep State can reach all the way down to a clerk in city hall denying you a building permit for personal or political reasons. Or the head of a federal agency/dept obstructing the will of Congress or a President. As longb as there are individuals with political power that are answerable to no one we will always have abuses of power. And threats to the Constitution. And they will come from both the left and right of the political spectrum.

#2  Deep State is a one party beauracracy built by Obama and sec state Hillary Clinton to support only one part and to actively sabatoge any opposition that takes power.

It is an active socialist, communist organization.

#1  The Russians and Chinese today can not physically invade and occupy the US. However, the shadow government already has. Who really is the threat to the Constitution?
