After years of trying to ignore the term “deep state”, corporate media is overseeing an astroturf campaign to redefine it in order to downplay its meaning when used sincerely.
“Deep State” has always meant: “A consortium of unaccountable corporate oligarchs, banking institutions, intelligence agencies, and organized crime operating without the consent of the governed to maintain US imperial hegemony and corrupt profit maximization by any means necessary.”
However, the astroturf campaign is now trying to convince people that the term is synonymous with “bureaucrat”. E.g.: “the ‘deep state' EPA regulators are trying to keep poison out of the drinking water. I love the deep state!” Anyone who conflates the two is intentionally trying to be condescending.
After reading a dozen or so books about US intelligence operations in the 20th century, it is obvious that not only the Deep State real, but it is still the driving factor of US international policy, not the voice of the people.
This book never once uses the term “deep state”. But that is what it's about.
The CIA, and its predecessor the OSS, began working with organized crime elements in the 1940's during WW2. They used any means necessary to maintain US hegemony, defeat the US's geopolitical enemies both foreign and domestic, and they enriched themselves as icing on the cake.
The means they used, as thoroughly outlined in this book, included the sexual blackmail of people
Why didn't J. Edgar Hoover's FBI go after organized crime until it was already out of control? Because they had sexual blackmail on him, his well documented cross-dressing and homosexual proclivities kept him in line.
Hoover continued the cycle by sexually blackmailing others, including MLK and other threats to the powers that be.
This book lays the historical foundation for how Jeffrey Epstein managed to maintain his child sex trafficking empire under the nose of the most powerful people on earth. He was simply taking a roll that countless others have done over the last century: manufacture Kompromat in order to blackmail those who dare threaten the interests of the deep state.
They also had a great section on the Octopus Murders. It went way deeper and did a way better job explaining the connections than that mediocre Netflix documentary.
There were so many fascinating pieces of info from this extremely long PART 1 OF 2 book that it became too arduous to write a thorough review. It left me in a reading slump just thinking about tackling the mountain of riveting quotes and incites. But I had already written a good opener so I'm knocking it out and moving on with my life.
FANTASTIC BOOK. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
