A former CIA boss has made it known that there is a deep state.  His quote was: “thank God for the deep state!” Is this still a conspiracy theory?

In just a few short months, the United States political establishment and the wealthy elitists have gone from denying the existence of the “Deep State,” attempting to use propaganda to diminish it’s existence by calling it a conspiracy theory, and silencing those who dare to speak out against this “fictional entity,” to praising it as the bulwark of the Republic and the resistance against President Donald Trump.

“Thank God for the ‘Deep State,’” declared former CIA director John E. McLaughlin at an event this week, describing the diplomats and intelligence officers testifying before the congressional impeachment inquiry as “people who are doing their duty or responding to a higher call,” according to a report by RT. 

While the majority of media outlets ignored the comment, some of Twitter picked up on the fact that they are no longer hiding the deep state from the public. It now appears that the establishment is relying on the media to ignore this.

McLaughlin’s comments were met with applause by the crowd at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government.

McLaughlin is the former deputy director of the CIA at the time of the infamous “Iraqi WMDs” scandal and was the acting director for a time in 2004. And don’t think for one second he was not the only one to “praise” the deep state.  Sitting right next to him was John Brennan, the CIA director under President Barack Obama, whose fingerprints are all over the so-called “Steele dossier” and the “Russiagate” hoax, and who is now enjoying a rewarding career as a TV pundit accusing Trump of treason.

Brennan argued that the reason Trump “has a contentious relationship with the Deep State people… is because they tell the truth,” and praised the unelected intelligence and law enforcement officials for continuing to “do their work irrespective of what he’s going to do or say.”

So is all of this being taken out of context? Or can we finally say that the “conspiracy theorists” were right once again? It isn’t every day that former bosses of the intelligence apparatus admit point blank that they are meddling in the country’s politics, because they feel they have a duty to do so.  They claim to have a “higher loyalty” to borrow a phrase from ex-FBI boss James Comey, another member of this deep state cabal, than to the chief executive elected by the American people.

Remember this? Comey actually describes the deep state that is in existence seconds after telling the gullible masses that it doesn’t exist.

Not long ago, the New York Times published an opinion piece praising the deep state. “The deep state isn’t a secret, anti-democratic cabal. It’s a collection of public servants looking to guard the Republic against President Trump’s excesses. Let us now praise these not-silent heroes.”

Whatever one may think of Trump, it beggars belief that the very people who cry the loudest about “our democracy” are elevating an unelected bureaucracy, spies and counter-spies as the arbiters of it. It almost makes you think the people responsible for pushing the ‘Russian meddling’ conspiracy theory may have done it as a smokescreen for their own (mis)deeds. –RT
