Figurehead
It turns out that the president of the US is not that powerful when it comes to dealing with the deep state. The deep state can be thought of as a permanent, entrenched bureaucracy representing the military/industrial/complex, the alphabet intelligence … Continue reading
The Unknowing

It’s the empire, stupid!

The Last Taboo
It will be interesting to see if Ghislaine Maxwell survives her incarceration to give testimony about Jeffery Epstein and his child-sex blackmail ring. I’ve always thought the story to be fascinating in that it’s a window into how the deep … Continue reading
