I believe there is a shadow government, a deeper strata to the Deep State as described in Wikipedia. Call them the Illuminati, or the New World Order, or whatever.

I think of them as being 'the Gog'. The Biblical/allegorical descendants of Magog. Their long range mission is to foment the Battle of Armageddon. Until then, they bring people to positions of power and prominence.

Way out! Far out!

This reads like sci-fi.

They're called career federal employees who do their work apolitically and are indispensable to the operations of government. Can you imagine a government run exclusively by appointed MAGAMorons?

I understand what you're saying.

This is sort of a goofy analogy, but those people are the top layer beneath the floating pyramid.

I think there is a group in the floating pyramid.

And the elected politicians, the publicly seen figureheads, are pulled up through the lower pyramid to the top layer. They don't get to be in the club, the little floaty pyramid group, but they're duped into thinking that they are.

That privilege is a blood rite, it's in the DNA. I could tell who they are, but I could get sued or worse.

Bill Barr’s Plan to Rig 2020 for Trump: Frame ‘Deep State’ for Russia’s 2016 Interference
As always, what Trump says is the direct opposite of the truth, and he is describing not his opponents but himself. The “deep state” story is Trumpland’s Plan B.

Barr is a criminal, in charge of Justice. Dog help us all.

That strategy might work.

I think Trump does listen to his handlers in the Defense Intelligence Agency.

If we bomb the shit out of Iran, people would be flying Old Glory on their vehicles, and wearing MAGA hats.

It's a sickness, but IMHO, Satan is the ruler of this world.

Now here's where we can argue, my paranoid conspiracy nonsense.

Pearl Harbor...intentional sacrifice.

Gulf of Tonkin...false flag

USS Liberty...attempted false flag Cause Belli...stopped by an Israeli torpedo boat Captain who refused to sink the Liberty. That Jew is my personal Hero. I'm not anti-semitic. I'll look for documentation / video of this.

World Trade Center...inside job.

I take a face value/ "Occam's razor" view on 9-11. The simplest direct explanation is usually the correct assessment.

The alternate theories tend to be complex convoluted constructs leading to a cabal of baby snacking satanists or somesuch, and demand too much reality denial belief preconditioning.

He will accuse you in turn of 'reality' acceptance preconditioning, but I am with you.
