The "deep state" not only exists but also wields more power than the three co-equal parts of U.S. government
A brief review of the RFK assassination tells the tale
Sirhan Sirhan was convicted for the murder of Robert Kennedy (RFK) and is still serving time in jail. But the evidence that he murdered RFK is flawed, and points to a member of the security detail as the killer - a member of the “deep state”. The autopsy included the following findings and related comments.
I learned this was the case from RFK’s son, now a Presidential hopeful, who stated it clearly in a YouTube podcast. Why didn’t I see it in the mainstream media at the time? Because MSM was just as corrupt then as now.
Secondary media covered the issue at various times. This 2015 article paints the ugly truth. The RFK Assassination: “Fifty Years of Coverup, Deception, and Deceit. 06/04 by American Heart of Darkness Radio.”
It is easy for the public to write off the claims of “deep state” as baseless conspiracy theory, but a bit harder for RJK Jr. who asserts the reality that his father was killed by someone else, and is now a presidential candidate. RFK may be the only Democrat who, if elected, will (like Republican Ramaswamy) expose and dismantle the deep state.
No one should be even a tiny bit surprised that the Hunter Biden laptop scandal was suppressed to get Joe Biden elected; that attorney general Merrick Garland sicced the FBI on parents upset at the “woke” crap being taught to their children; or, that there is an all-out assault on Donald Trump and those who were present at the January 6 protests but no indictments of the hundreds of thugs who burned buildings and cars, looted stores, committed murder and terrorized communities during the BLM riots. This is the sad state of America under leftist rule.
We live in a world where no one can trust the media, no one can trust the government and no one can rely on law enforcement for protection. When asked by friends for investment advice, I often tell them: Buy canned foods, bottled water and ammunition. Short of that, the best citizens of United States and Canada can do is ensure neither Biden nor Trudeau is re-elected. Democracy is always at risk and the people are the only bulwark that will protect our freedoms, and then only if they vote or take up arms. Voting is easier, costs fewer lives, and works.
Manipulation the media has been occurring since 1883- and the corruption has only gotten easier for media outlets and their co-conspirators and overlords to manage the pageantry thru the curation of “news” via social media by taking advantage of the slow numbing of society’s apparent ability to make clear, individual decisions. Essentially, in the current era- it’s an algorithm cult.
In 1995, the following article was published which indicates the start of this manipulation in 1883 with Pulitzer. Reminder- this article was researched and published before the internet was but a wee child- so to speak!

It’s worth the read.
If you do chose to read the above article, after reading - as a creative exercise- run a mental inventory of the number of media personalities who have waded into the political game. Yeah....it’s staggering.
And then there are the legacy media/special interest zealots like David Suzuki. Offering my contempt for this particular sect will be reserved for another day!
Thanks Michael- great post as always!
Excellent post
There are 2 things going on
⁃ The corrupt media , which is not a new thing . The first time I became aware of it was talking to Marines who had been in Vietnam saying they had won the Tet Offensive and Cronkite lied saying they lost . The media has cranked up the lies every since because they know they can simply assign beliefs to the public and brainwash us .
And
⁃ The role of the DoJ ( FBI and CIA) is frightening. They are both directly influencing the media and they’re treating Americans like they are foreign enemies . The DoJ behaves like it is it’s own branch of government
We are just getting warmed up for 2024. Vivek and RFKjr are about to make it most interesting as they fearlessly campaign on shutting down the Swamp
