Mike Yon & I Discuss the Deep State

Michael Yon sent me this link back on 2 April.

WikiLeaks’ latest Vault 7 release contains a batch of documents, named ‘MARBLE’, which detail CIA hacking tactics and how they can misdirect forensic investigators from attributing viruses, trojans and hacking attacks to their agency by inserted code fragments in foreign languages. The tool was in use as recently as 2016.

I replied as follows:

Saw it. I have been calling for new Congressional hearings like the Church Committee and Pike Committee hearings of 1976 for a long time, but nobody in the intelligence community has any stomach for that, they fear it, though the outrages and abuses facilitated by the cult of secrecy are manifesting almost daily now.

WikiLeaks now wields more credibility than the intelligence community, an indicator of a neo-imperial dystopia where the remnants of the Republic are beset by enemies foreign and domestic.

The Gang of Eight exercises fake oversight, it is literally incapable of overseeing the intelligence community in an effective fashion that protects American democracy from the deep state.

Worse, nobody denies the existence of the deep state, everybody realizes that the American deep state is real, and it is a mortal threat to the Republic.

It is in fact these vast black budgets which the Congress passes for the intelligence community which resulted in the rise of FVEY. NSA funds it, and yes, the other members of the SIGINT alliance spy on the citizens of the other members, precisely as Judge Napolitano accused GCHQ of doing for NSA.

Seeking more precision regarding the deep state? By definition a deep state is agnostic, it acts for its own purposes and it has many factions, but the defining characteristic of the American deep state is that it persists regardless of who occupies the Senate or the House with majorities, as well as who sits in the Oval Office.

The retention of high security clearances by neoliberals and neocons loyal to Hillary and to Obama and their agendas illustrates the persistence of the deep state. Though both Clintons and Obama himself are now out of power, repudiated at the ballot box, their aides retain their security clearances, purportedly so they can consult for the US government.

These partisan agitators act for malign motives and they should lose their security clearances immediately, but they retain them, despite the fact that they committed crimes, and are continuing to commit crimes, felonies that would result in severe administration sanctions and prosecutions for lesser ranking actors in the intelligence community.

Donald Trump was surveilled. No question. GCHQ made a rare public statement saying that Judge Napolitano was wrong, and the consequence was more leaks *by loyal patriots* in the intelligence community, to Congressman Nunes, and to others.

As I said, there are factions within the deep state. The problem for the neoliberals and the neocons is that there is a strong conservative current within these agencies, and these folks are leaking carefully to 4chan, to Alex Jones, to Rudy Giuliani, to Judge Napolitano, to Steve Pieczenik, to Steve Bannon, and to Roger Stone.

The answer is obvious: exercise appropriate Constitutional oversight of the intelligence community, and cease the endless black budgets which permit no oversight and literally, no audits of any kind.

Evidence that POTUS 45 and his staff were illegally surveilled is now in the public domain.

The globalists hate that we are defeating them in the information wars, and this is triggering Google and Twitter in particular to attempt to censor so-called “alt-right” news sources, insisting on making all of us read the failing NYT, CNN, the WaPo, and all other discredited purveyors of the real fake news.

We live in incredible times. I would like to see a Combined Permanent Select Committee on Mass Surveillance and Other Intelligence Activities empaneled before I die, one that sets up appropriate oversight over the intelligence community, and most of all, one that drags every single one of the black budget activities into the harsh sunlight for disinfecting and necessary purges.

When POTUS 45 says that he is proposing to decrease the size of the federal budget, he is attacking the largess that enables the deep state to fund itself.

The only way to get our secret government under control is to audit it, to audit it without mercy, and that means that there is a host of mandarins in the intelligence community who need to go to jail, to real prison, not to country club incarceration.

Because these slimeballs committed felonies, and their successors are committing felonies even now.
