Skeptix · Von jenseits des Grabes: Trump und die Epstein-Verschwörung - SkeptixGehört Donald Trump selbst zum "Deep State", den er angeblich bekämpft? Wegen der Epstein-Affäre glauben daran immer mehr Amerikaner.

"On June 13, 2025, a strange military ritual took place in Conmy Hall at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Virginia. A group of tech executives from some of the most important Silicon Valley firms including Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer (CTO) of Palantir; Andrew Bosworth, CTO of Meta; Kevin Weil, chief product officer of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, adviser at Thinking Machines Lab and former chief research officer for OpenAI, appeared in military fatigues in front of a large group of soldiers. They were sworn in as army lieutenant colonels as part of the newly constituted Detachment 201: the Army’s Executive Innovation Corps (EIC).

The initiative was presented in typical neoliberal jargon as part of the effort to “leverage private expertise” to the benefit of the “public sector.” But the reality is much more disconcerting. This commissioning signals that there is no clear barrier between the private and public sectors: the prodigal son that is digital technology may long have been estranged from its military roots, but now it is coming back home. Why? Because it is, by and large, the military that is paying its bills.
(...)
These companies represent the worst both of capitalism and of state intervention. They operate in shadowy industries, where there is almost zero competition, and live off military procurement — a sector with basically no transparency and which is notoriously prey to corruption and heavy forms of political interference. This is ironic given that their moguls such as Thiel style themselves as libertarians against the state. In fact, they are so intertwined with the state that they are better understood as financialized outgrowths of the security state apparatus than truly autonomous private firms."

"For years, Trump has talked darkly of a 'deep state' — a secret cabal intent on destroying America by harming the nation’s children.

Such as, perhaps, six justices who let him shut down the Education Department without even setting out their reasons?"

Robert Reich · The Supreme Court, the Deep State, and Jeffrey EpsteinBy Robert Reich

John Amato highlights the growing discontent among attendees at the Student Action Summit in Florida towards former President Trump, particularly regarding the alleged suppression of Jeffrey Epstein's files. Critics like Steve Bannon and Natalie Winters voiced concerns about a digital surveillance state and the justice system's failures. As Bannon sought input from attendees, it became evident that Epstein's case continues to divide the MAGA community.

Crooks and Liars · MAGA Base On Epstein Files Cover-up: Trump Is 'The Deep State'By John Amato

Behind Steve Bannon, Robert Mercer and by extension Donald Trump, is a huge network of multi-billion dollar think-tanks and policy accelerators.

If anything is ”Deep State”, it’s them.

But it’s not the same when they do it. They can’t help themselves but project all their intentions on others though.

Der #Verschwörungsmythos des #DeepState ist eine "verschwörungstheoritsche Begrifflichkeit" - und nicht, wie im Texten "fast eine".
Auch dies zeigt, wie weit die #CDUCSU als #AfDmitSubstanz nach Rechts gerückt ist. Diese Partei schickt sich an, unsere Demokratie in eine rechtsnationale Autokratie umzubauen. Sie wird weiter Recht beugen und brechen. Sie wird weiter den Diskurs verschieben und sie wird weiter Hass sähen. Die #FckAfD ist dabei der willfähige Gehilfe.

#DJChump is a #ConspiracyTheory nut. He ❤️ and believes every CT that supports his #BSC beliefs.

So naturally, he has filled his Administration with other CT's (eg: #RFKJr) who are now in charge of the agencies they once accused of being part of The #DeepState secretly undermining our gov't, only to discover their CT's were bull$#!+: 🤦‍♂️#Patel #Bongino #FBI #DisasterPresidency #TooStupidForOffice
