The Deep State Hiding in Plain Sight

Mike Lofgren, a congressional staff member for 28 years, joins Bill Moyers to talk about what he calls Washington's "Deep State," in which elected and unelected figures collude to protect and serve powerful vested interests. “It is how we had deregulation, financialization of the economy, the Wall Street bust, the erosion or our civil liberties and perpetual war," Lofgren tells Moyers.

Chrystia Freeland: The Rise of the New Global Super Rich Plutocracy

2014-01-16T19:31:19.875Z

The term plutocracy is generally used as a pejorative to describe or warn against an undesirable condition. Throughout history, political thinkers such as Winston Churchill, 19th-century French sociologist and historian Alexis de Tocqueville, 19th-century Spanish monarchist Juan Donoso Cortés and today Noam Chomsky have condemned plutocrats for ignoring their social responsibilities, using their power to serve their own purposes and thereby increasing poverty and nurturing class conflict, corrupting societies with greed and hedonism.

Operation Paul Revere "It Can't Happen Here!" (by Larken Rose)

"It is apparent that the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution are far too
radical for our so-called leaders. The primary "nefarious actors" are US
officials. These are the domestic enemies mentioned in that ignored document. It
is not simply the speech the government disagrees with, it is the US
Constitution, the alleged supreme law of the land.

"We live in a nation hated abroad and frightened at home. A place in which
we can reasonably refer to the American Republic in the past tense. A country
that has moved into a post-constitutional era, no longer a nation of laws but an
autotocracy run by law breakers, law evaders and law ignorers. A nation governed
by a culture of impunity ... a culture in which corruption is no longer a form
of deviance but the norm. We all live in a Mafia neighborhood now."
(Sam
Smith)"
