The Deep State Institutions That Couldnt Care Less Who You Vote ForBy Dylan Charles Even veteran politician such as the constitutionally minded Ron Paul have publicly stated that your vote doesnt matter as long as the Deep State continues to exist, living off of funds siphoned from taxpayers and scuttled into covert, black-ops and secret budgets. The elections dont matter. This is a ritual that we go throughMy belief is that the control is the Deep State, and people have to realize that. ~Ron Paul Former Republican U.S. Congressional aide, Mike Lofgren, who retired in 2011 after 28 years as a Congressional staffer defines the Deep State as follows: It is a hybrid of national security and law enforcement agencies: the Department of Defense, the Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Justice Department. I also include the Department of the Treasury because of its jurisdiction over financial flows, its enforcement of international sanctions and its organic symbiosis with Wall Street. ~Mike Lofgren These are the institutions, agencies and ongoing programs that are above the law, beyond scrutiny and operating in near total secrecy. They truly couldnt care less who the American people vote for come this election day as their powers are now so fully entrenchedthat in spite of whichever political puppet sits in the White House they will still be able to muster the funds and authority to continue on with their subversive, anti-democratic agendas. 1. Intelligence Agencies Business Insider reports that US intelligence community is comprised of 17 discreet agencies that operate with enormous budgets and incredible secrecy, bringing total surveillance and total information awareness to bear on the people of earth. Of the 17 agencies, some of the most prominent and most active include the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the State Departments Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), none of which will be adversely affected by either candidates policies. Oversight of these agencies generally falls to the Department of Defense or Congress, leaving the average citizen with precious little knowledge of how they operate. Funded by largely classified budgets, its difficult to assess how much the U.S. annually spends on these clandestine operations, but one 2012 estimatepegs the cost at about $75 billion. [Source] 2. DARPA The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agencyis the scientific vanguard of the Deep State, and the worlds pioneer of advanced technology, bringing science fiction to life. With an on-the-record annual budget of close to the $3 billion, their role in our world seems to be to absorb any and all human innovationand re-direct it toward the art of killing and controlling people. A simple Google search of DARPA reveals an endless array of incredibly cool science projects, and public science competitions designed to discover and recruit the greatest upcoming scientific minds the human race produces. Their influence in our world cannot be understated, both for their positive contributions to society, such as development of the Internet, and for their nefarious re-works of every great scientific idea. Their work will continue unabated no matter who is president. 3. Wall Street and Silicon Valley Wall Street is the organization of criminal bankers and law firmswhove managed to re-configure government and global finance to work in their favor, allowing them to privatize profit and socialize losses, guaranteeing the infinite enrichment of the 1%. Their power, originally garnered with the creation of central banking and banking corporations like The Federal Reserve, is now maintained and concentrated by their technological sophistication through their coordination with Silicon Valley. Scientist, author and celebrated technological philosopher, Jaron Lanier, writes of the banking elites ability to outpace even any regulatory agencys ability to understand and control the technology now involved in exacting trades, due to the simple fact that private companies with endless resources can afford to buy the best minds on earth. As Lanier puts it, there was a high-tech network scheme at play that seemed to concentrate wealth while at the same time causing volatility and trauma for ordinary people, particularly taxpayers who often ended up paying for a bailout. No individual investor can compete with these Siren Servers, no matter how smart or lucky. [Source] Combined, the powers of Wall Street and Silicon Valley effectively own the U.S. government and, rest assured, whichever candidate makes it to inauguration day, they will be well-funded by,and well-respecting of the powers-that-be on Wall Street. 4. The Military Industrial Complexs Defense Contractors The Orwellian permanent war is not a necessity in our modern world, but rather a natural by-product of exorbitant, unfettered investment in the arms race. The list of defense contractors that comprise the military industrial complex and manufacture and produce the equipment and war material that makes endless war a permanent feature of the modern world is, again, noted by Business Insider. At the topof their list of nine companiesis Lockheed Martin, followed by Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman, all receiving tens of billions of dollars annually from the federal government. Their power is derived from the good-old-boy and revolving-door network of government insiders and private sector free-agents who compete for taxpayer money and contracts. Both Trump and Hillary are supportive of this network, so take your pick. 5. The Secret Black Budget and Space Programs These are the programs that are spoken of mostlyin rumors. The best guess is that they are funded by money stolen from the American people and operate in locations such as the fabled Deep Underground Bases (DUMBs) under the protection of the military. We know they exist because of occasional media leaksabouttheir technological achievementsand secretly funded programs, yet information is often sketchy. Nonetheless, their works will continue to influence the direction of global conflict while pushing the world toward a space-based economy no matter which candidate you choose. Former Wall Street investment bank director, and former assistant secretary United States Department of Housing and Urban Development during thefirst Bush Administration, Catherine Austin Fitts, estimates that some $40 trillion dollars in taxpayer money has disappeared in recent decades from the budgets of the Pentagon and other agencies and has been covertly directed toward the operations of these Deep State institutions. In 2015 the gross domestic product of the U.S. economy was close to $18 trillion, meaning that, at least, over 2 years full years of American productivity has been vaporized by the secretive government, and most recently some $6.5 trillion was reported missing from the Pentagon. This is how the Deep State is funded and why the elections play such an important role in distracting the American public. In light of revelations about the existence and operations of these agencies, as well as their speculated funding by missing public money, voting for a president is rightfullyacknowledgedas futile. For those of us truly seeking positive change in a world where government is completely unaccountable to the people who fund it, theres simply no way to ignore the relevance of exposing the Deep State. As all governmentssometimes forgood reasonsengage in concealment of their more questionable activities, or even resort to out and out deception, one must ask how the deep state differs. While an elected government might sometimes engage in activity that is legally questionable, there is normally some plausible pretext employed to cover up or explain the act. But for players in the deep state, there isno accountability and no legal limit. Everything is based on self-interest, justified through an assertion of patriotism and the national interest. ~ Philip Giraldi Read more articles by Dylan Charles.

It will only be destroyed in something that results in total global annihilation. At this point, you cant . Ultimately none of us survive; we all end up stepping over the threshold into eternity so I suppose its proper to pursue what you deem right and good. Even so, many of us act like we will live forever. Death is inevitable. Belive it or not there are some things more important then life itself. This is my thought process too. The odds are too low to calculate but rolling over for eternal enslavement and mind control is worse than death which comes anyway. Truth. There are definitely things worth taking a stand for, and dying (if necessary) in defense of. Im not sure people have those things in proper order of merit though. For example, going to the ME to fight against people (Muslims) who would rather kill each other than co-exist is NOT one of the things worth dying for. TPTB have spent all their energy, time, and capital brainwashing and dumbing down the public for generations. We cant quickly fix dumbing down but brainwashing can be unwound fairly fast. Thats why Obama is handing over control over the internet to the UN. .At this point the odds are so stacked against us, only a major unexpected shock (asteroid, Divine intervention, Mother Nature backfire) seems like our only hope which is absurd because we have the potential to be far more powerful on a conscious level than most are. Dumbing down, distracting, vilifying, misdirecting, maligning, dividing and lulling to sleep. It sucks, I l know. Ive tried to appeal to the survival instincts of me and mine crowd by pointing out the vast methods of poisoning were being subjected to but unless they were to see someone immediately collapse in front of them immediately after a vaccine or some other nefarious activity they just cannot connect the dots. It isnt always that people are that stupid, its just easier to coast along like a leaf on the water. I have been saying for months that the legislative branch of our government is no longer functioning.The various government agencies are writing and passing the laws. Months!?! The American people and the alternative media dont seem to understand where we really are right now. They are both still very far behind the curve, and because of that, we have allowed a momentum to develop that will make the following disasters inevitable. We should have heeded the warnings instead of playing along by writing and reading articles that were much to do of nothing. It could stop right here if a massive shift took place in entire western nations in which the proles began to walk away from the control systems assuming the epiphany went viral. Its not too latethats why controlled elements of the alt (and the clueless mimics) are going into high gear on the fear mongering = paralysis learned helplessness. There have been big inflection points and none have been impossible to roll backso far. Youre right, this is NOT new by any stretch, the legislative takeover was well under way before many of us were even born notably around the time of JFKs assassination moving into deep capture when the Trilateralists took over the executive branch during the Carter administration. Your key word is IF. This article is a good summation of what those in the know (for the past 40 years or so) have understood especially those who realize what is the seemingly unstoppable power created by completely unbridled legal counterfeiting, which is assured to the masters of the game. (started in 1964). If that isnt choked off completely, we are done. So the question becomes: How do we achieve that? Is it even possible? Is it a cancer which cant be stopped until we are literally in a nation as depicted by Hunger Games? I actually believe there is an antidote; a grassroots plan that could check it, because its NOT reliant on money to work. Deputizm plan A WELL REGULATED MILITIA, being necessary for the security of a free state. Its impossible to live free without it. It will work because there is NO limit to how many men a sheriff may deputize. And they dont have to actually reside in said county, either. But this will take men willing to fight for liberty, not just whine about the injustice of totalitarianism. That was one of my suggestions years ago, but it fell upon deaf ears. If it takes place now it will be out of sheer desperation, and these deputized men, and militia will not only have to fight the domestic enemies that have stolen office but the lawless people that their reign has created. CS: When considering Richard Macks CSPOA org, we have a few sheriffs who seemingly take their Oath of Office seriously. However, I wonder what goes through their minds, thinking they could hold of the feds with a few barney fifes at their side. email me at LCharles14@yahoo.com I want to mail you a document Does anyone on here realize what fighting the government with all their military equipment drones, etc. would be like? Equipment that can burn your skin until you die but not even burn your clothing? Military equipment that local law enforcement now has; swat teams? Im in total agreement that our government needs to be stopped and disbanded but really, how??? ah, Karolyn thats the beauty of the deputizm plan. A WELL REGULATED MILITIA gets access to this exact same equipment and the power to arrest govStooges who violate Title 18, Sec. 241 That is not true and you know it! OH? give me a chance to hire 1 million deputies, with access to drones and AA-12 guns (do a youTube search) led by a few qualified Oath Keepers Army Rangers, Marine GBs and Navy Seals. Yeah Oboingo will stop us from upholding our Constitution. uh, huh.. You answer your own statement Louis: Give me a chance to hire 1 million deputies Could you tell me where you are planning to find them? thats only 20,000 per state on average. Heck, I believe if I were a sheriff in a Texas county and publicly announced that each man will be trained with, and have access to AA-12s and drone defense along with your badge, and didnt have to reside in my county, Id have my million from that one state. Louis: I am not trying to discourage you, however being 76 years old, a military retiree,I have seen a lot of life.You are proposing that you could do this right under the governments eyes and you should know by now they know everything.Louis I guess you are much younger than me.I appreciate your determination.You have a hope which is great.I live by myself with 3 dogs and 6 cats.Thats my family and in no way could I leave them to defend other peoples property,or fight the government.Im not afraid to die, just have to be sensible as to what I can fight for and try to defend. under the governments eyes? Precisely the opposite. Right out there for everyone to see. and thusly decide, as a nation whether the first part of the 2nd Amendment is as important to us as the last part. So, just bend over and take it, Karolyn? We all have a choice to either live on our knees or die on our feet. I know where youll be. The average person cannot say what they might do.Bend over and take it is kind of hard when considering some are not as strong and brave as others pretend to be.Theres an old saying I learned in my years in the military when you are doomed: :Bend over and kiss your own behind goodbye! You are referring to that moment in every persons life when their faith is truly tested. One either believes that life is a continuum and death is the illusion or it isnt. I think its really that simple. Ones behavior at that crucial moment reflects that. The ultimate test of faith. It depends on what that faith is placed in.I just happen to have faith in Jesus Christ. Then you know that life is the reality and death is the illusion. Be brave! Stop going to work. General strike. They DO care who you vote for at the local and state levels and what you do to take back your power. Why arent geoengineering activists organizing with health freedom activists (GMOs, vaccines, 5G radiation, anti-fracking etc.), second amendment supporters, self identified Libertarians, et al? Divided we fall. I think the puppet theater has managed to keep the cap on geoengineering that it is still considered a fringe conspiracy theory. More people probably accept the existence of alien abduction. Its like sometimes you can tell the difference between the Jesse Venturas and the Alex Jones, but sometimes you cant. Either way though that difference borders too closely between truth and fiction. That is enough to turn most otherwise rational people off. I know youre spot on, James Stone. When I cruise through the geoengineering watch website I see the most passionate anti-NWO folks in the entire alternative news community. Most are livid at least they still have a pulse. The only other group that came close were the anti-open borders activists going back a decade or so. Neither group had the feature of being single minded until the latter was finally subsumed by the big gatekeepers. Too bad 9/11 Truth groups stayed compartmentalized. Ill be waiting for Vol. 2, 3, 4 to complete this expose. The true Deep State levers of power are the ones we never see. A famous American satirist once said, If voting really mattered, they would have abolished it a long time ago. I will continue to belong and support The George Carlin Party. someone is preventing me from commenting here maybe it is them as I have been placing an active link to them here. !? The premise/title of the article is so simplistic and completely wrong, and also not backed up by any evidence. There is no difference between Trump and Crooked Hillary? Assuming what the author says is true, so what is the point of writing this article? There is none. Hide in your cave with your survival gear. That said, why is the media and power establishment going so crazy against Trump as he gains in the polls? Is it all a conspiracy to trick us into thinking there is a difference, when there is not? At the end of the day if you examine the different positions, Hillary is a neo con globalist war monger, and Trump is a white nationalist who wants to bring back jobs and restore the borders. To say there is no difference is to essentially take the side of the globalists, like Alex Jones does, claiming he is against them when in reality he is covering for the true criminals and culprits in the tribe that pay his checks. Wheres my deep underground base. The chicken littles have built them for themselves. Oh well, pop your head up it will be whack a mole time unholy tribe, best button down the hatches and stay down. Nobody wants you around, your all a bunch of vampires and someday you will eat your own, oh wait you (more than likely) already do. We need to implement mandatory psychological testing of all government high officials. If we could eliminate all sociopaths from office, the Deep State would no longer exist. The answer is eliminating government itself. It is a cancer that destroys everything. Im not talking about anarchy but if we want to survive we must end this illusion of government. Lets stop and consider some things.First of all the most primal aspect of humanity is survival.Most people might disagree but when it comes to doing what you are ordered to do, or disobeying and being killed yourself brings it out.Now no one would debate that a father or mother would die for their children, but think carefully about this current trend in society which says Me Me Me,and only Me. There are young people that I actually believe would kill their own parents if their life was at stake.If a government worker is given a weapon and told to defend the government or lose their own life, must I say more?Darwin spoke about the survival of the fittest, but had to know that the elites would use it to stay in power.There are those who have in the deepest and darkest corners of their minds, that they will survive and make a wonderful utopia for themselves.Stop and think for one moment about someone in an agency that has dark plans.They are in a position to push them forward if they coincide with the big plan of the elites in power.Consider the EPA, The ATF, the DHS and every other agency that has thousands of people that just want to survive no matter what. Lets look at the possible groups that could be on one side or the other. You speak of militias as if they are able to really accomplish something but how many have been shut down or at least hindered by the FBI,ATF,DHS? At the same time we have the Nation of Islam, NBP,BLM and many in government who will stand with the black president because they believe they deserve more from the white people.Then you have the many Jihadist training camps all over America and now thousands of new refuges which are mostly men of fighting age.Then we have the politicians themselves who will do everything they can to cover their own behinds.What happened when the man was shot by FBI agent defending his property? Was there a mass uprising? No it was all talk. Think about Ruby Ridge and what became of that.Also the Waco massacre.Did all these militias and brave souls on the web step out and start fighting.One last thing to burst the bubbles.I believe that our own military will be fighting each other.
