Yes Virginia, There Really Is a Deep State

"He's being really dumb to do this."

In 2017 then, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., revealed a D.C. Swamp rule to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, he may have wished he had held back:

Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you . . . "

What?

The commander in chief can’t be critical of the 18 bureaucracies of the intelligence community (IC)?

That he’s in charge of?

That’s "tinfoil" hat country Chuck!

Surely the senator wasn’t acknowledging that there is a cabal of federal bureaucrats that answer to no one, was he?

Or is it possible that the good senator is an approved acolyte of this group?

After all, what punishment came his way when he directly threatened Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh?

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price…”

This "fifth column" in our midst, that commands respect from presidents and allows elected officials to threaten judges is in fact, the deep state.

Just beyond the Dulles International Airport in the swamp that is Washington D.C., there is a vast land called America where We the People live.

For those of us who cast the propaganda shackles of the mainstream and social media aside, we see the swamp quite clearly.

Perhaps this short read will be expanded one day into a full-blown book, but for the sake of brevity, this writer offers the following list as Exhibit A:

• Impeachment times two of lawfully elected president over nonsense
• Safe and Effective . . . Fauci and the CDC said so
• Anyone not believing the former is a vaxx-denier, a misinformationist and could be fired or have credentials/licenses removed
• Military . . . vaxx-up or we disgrace you and damage your ability to earn a living
• DEI replaces meritocracy across entire the government including the military
• Adverse reactions never challenged, yet administration pushes to yield medical sovereignty to the World Health Organization
• Swamp emergency pandemic powers suspended Constitution . . . not legal, yet it stands
• Feds investigate and harass parents for pushing back on transgender and DEI dictates from local school boards
• Border wide open — drugs and illegal fighting age men flood country.Sec Mayorkas tells Congress to get lost . . . gets away with it (so far?)
• ESG trumps all — your 401K, freedom to decide what you drive, whether you cook food with gas. Push back and you are a climate denier (just wait until we get social credit scores going)
• The Federal Reserve, Congress and president money-print you out of your wealth, tax you to make you pay for more auditors…but no audits of money spent on war or the regulations that destroy your civil rights brought on by the unelected
• America at the brink of war with no questions allowed about the corruption that appears obvious with four of the potential belligerents (Ukraine, China, Russia and Iran). Uniparty oversight provides theater and nothing more
• Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself . . . but don’t talk about it without that tinfoil on your head
• The words "I cannot comment on an existing investigation" defeat all attempts at accountability
• The World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have more influence in the swamp then you do
• We want your guns, even though we have "F-15s and nuclear weapons"

If all of this sounds like cherry-picked anecdotal hearsay, then at least commit to watch "Police State" by Dinesh D’Souza and Dan Bongino.

When will your micro-transgressions against the deep state earn you a door kicking in?

The soccer moms know the answer.

When a public servant skips past their sacred oath to you and the Constitution, replacing said oath to the protection of their place in the deep state’s machine, we have a problem.

The federal leviathan employs approx. 1.9 million people. This number swells to millions more when you add the military and the federal contractors.

And still, you can’t seem to get anyone to answer a phone?

This isn’t liberty or self-governance; this is tyranny. Add important allies to the deep state in big media, Wall Street, and the lobbyist class and you citizen, don't stand a chance.

That the administration with all elements of national power can take our money, imperil our sovereignty and use lawfare to extinguish dissent to include the previous president, we can conclude that not only is there a deep state, but that they have placed a collective boot on the throat of We the People.

Yes, Virginia, there is a deep state.

And you Virginia, joined by the other 49 states, had better elevate your interest in the 10th Amendment (states’ rights) quickly, or lose all that our creator and Founders fought to bless us with.
