bill bonner says the deep state already runs the country in this article and goes a ways towards providing evidence for that pov;

In Part 5 of the Persecution and (political) Assassination of Donald J. Trump, as performed by the mental defectives, jackasses, and turpitudinous con artists of the Deep State, we finally answer the question: How come they’re out to get Donald Trump?

The answer: It’s complicated.

Epic Battle

We saw last week how the epic battle for the soul and future of America is over. The Deep State won.

No victory parade was held. And the Constitution was not repealed or rewritten. But the Deep State now controls the White House, Congress, the courts (more or less), the universities (more or less), the Pentagon, the bureaucracy, the dollar, the budget, and the press.

The Donald never even knew what hit him. He apparently never understood what was going on… never had any serious intention of interfering with it… and never had any coherent plan to do so.

Nor does any other politician on the national stage.

Last week, after the latest debate by Democratic presidential hopefuls, a news report offered to tell us “where the candidates stand on the issues.”

“Oh boy,” we thought, “this is where the rubber meets the road.” But there was neither rubber nor road. Instead, we got the latest blah-blah talking points on health, climate change, gun control, education, and immigration.

Tacit Alliance

Neither the candidates, nor the press, nor the public seems willing to face the two things that matter most – money and war........http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/11.19/deepstate.html
