Present Day: Deep State

"There is a shadowy government in America, with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and has the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from checks and balances and free from the law itself."

Senator Daniel Inouye, 1977

The Deep State is a term that was first used in 2016 to describe the political climate of the United States. The Deep State is a term that describes a government running within a government. This means that a shadow group is actually calling the shots of how a Government is run, rather than the leader who is elected by the people.

It is an extremely secretive shadow group, with nameless leaders and faceless soldiers.

The Deep State has its own agenda that is separate to what the people of the country want.

"The real rulers of Washington are invisible and exercise power behind the scenes."

Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter
