At LewRockwell.com, Karen Kwiatkowski explains why the Deep State, despite its many successes, is deeply unhappy. She writes:
The attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13 has reminded the world of the language of existential fear the American left has been piling on Trump, and Trump supporters, for eight years. Trump derangement syndrome has been pushed and promoted by government media, and by elected and appointed government employees, like Biden himself. The Establishment’s hatred and fear of Trump has been unequivocal.
Well wishes to Trump from Biden and his allies ring hollow. Why would they be happy that a man they believe to be an America-ending Hitler survived what seemed to be a Secret Service facilitated shot that would have made all their hopes come true? They are not.
But they were not happy before July 13th either. The deep state has been unhappy for a long time, long before the election of Trump in 2016, and it’s time to look more closely at the entrenched, bloated, warmongering, indebted, and roundly despised “deep state.” This permanent government –with national and international agenda setters who favor their own enrichment, their own impunity, and their own control and exercise of the so-called Rules-Based Order – Is. Not. Happy.
Strangely enough, the deep state should be very happy. Wealth transfer to ruling classes and those they favor, evolution of a surveillance and militarized state, rampant division and atomization of Americans, automated collection of the daily tax harvest across the economy, an obliging Federal Reserve – all of this is apace and accelerating. The deep state has grown logarithmically, and seems to be more powerful than ever before.
One reason for its unhappiness is us. From the perspective of our permanent rulers, “we the people” are becoming tiresome. The same technologies that enable totalitarianism also enable and protect liberty, freedom, privacy, free speech and innovation. Communications that help the state shape and divide the population can also unify, build community, and enrich people far beyond government mandates, guidelines, and control. Real learning is today is no longer issued and controlled by authoritarian structures. What our children learn through state schooling, including at the university level, isn’t much, and it isn’t what we think. Importantly, it also isn’t what the state thinks they’re learning – students and teachers alike see the incompetence and the authoritarianism, and the injustice of the state directly, and learn to leverage, ignore, counter and disobey – even as anything any of them really want to know is a click or two away. This was not the deep state’s expectation, not at all.
Nothing is turning out for our controllers like they planned, and the permanent government is looking like it won’t be as permanent as they thought. There is a lot of us, very few of them. We the people are stronger than Washington, and this fundamental fact is finally dawning on DC.
