In our previous post, through excerpts from Dr. Corsi’s book, Killing the Deep State: The Fight to Save President Trump, published in March, 2018, we exposed how Trump’s victory so damaged the Deep State psyche that the reaction morphed from disbelief to subterfuge to outright violent sedition. In this post, we expose all divisions of the Deep State complex: Military, lobbyists (domestic and foreign), intelligence contractors, defense contractors, Wall Street, Federal Reserve, IMF, World Bank, World Treasury Department, central banks, and Congress.
The Military-Industrial Complex
The first vignette involves a warning that President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued to America upon leaving the White House after eight years as president.
On January 17, 1961, President Eisenhower delivered his farewell speech to the nation in a televised address broadcast from the Oval Office. In that speech, Eisenhower sounded an alarm to future generations of Americans. “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military-Industrial Complex,” Eisenhower warned. “The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
He continued with a sentiment that is less frequently repeated. “We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes,” he stressed. “We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”
The Shadow Government
CIA whistleblower Kevin Shipp, a decorated CIA intelligence officer, has identified the CIA as the central node of the Shadow Government that controls all of the other 16 intelligence agencies, despite the existence of the Director of National Intelligence.
According to Shipp, the Deep State is composed of the Military-Industrial Complex and its lobbyists, intelligence contractors, defense contractors, Wall Street through offshore accounts, the Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank, the World Treasury Department, foreign lobbyists, and central banks. To this list, we can reinsert Congress. The group President Eisenhower knew votes to fund and protect the Deep State’s massive, largely unchecked clandestine operations.
Shipp claims the CIA controls defense and intelligence contractors, can manipulate the president and presidential decisions, has the power to start wars, torture, initiate coups, and commit false flag attacks. Peter Dale Scott has come to view the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, the 1980 October surprise, involving the release of the U.S. embassy hostages in the Iran-Contra affair, and 9-11 as Deep State events that repeatedly have involved law-breaking and or violence, have been mysterious to begin with, and whose mystery has been compounded by systematic falsifications in media and internal government records. Scott has come to see these incidents as flowing in part from the socio-dynamic processes of violent power itself, power associated with and deployed in the service of the global expansion of American military might.
Focusing on what he has called the American war machine, Scott has advanced the understanding of the extent to which Eisenhower’s military-industrial complex has led to the operation of an extra-constitutional Deep State, willing to use the black political arts of false flag attacks, funding of mainstream media propaganda, and even assassination of heads of state to dominate U.S. politics by controlling both political parties.
Obama Administration Illegally Unmasks and Leaks
The volume of mainstream media stories attributed to anonymous sources that were published during the 2016 presidential election caused Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, to become suspicious. Where did the Democrats get their information that Trump officials had conspired or otherwise colluded with Russia?
Or even more specifically, unless the Obama Administration had unmasked Trump campaign officials captured in NSA surveillance of foreign nationals, how did it begin to suspect that Trump officials were actively conspiring with Russian officials? Unmasking involves identifying the U.S. citizens captured in FISA-authorized electronic surveillance of foreign nationals, a process that invites abuse when government officials decide to make the unmasked U.S. citizens the targets of future surveillance. In other words, Obama officials appear to have done just this to get the dirt they needed on Trump officials to construct the Russian collusion narrative.
Then, once in possession of the unmasked names, highly placed officials within the Obama Administration appear to have committed a second crime by leaking to the press the highly classified information obtained on Trump campaign officials through the NSA Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court-ordered electronic surveillance. Investigating the issue, Grassley and Nunes became convinced that the FBI and NSA went one step further, deciding to place foreign nationals believed to be in touch with Trump campaign officials under electronic surveillance, with the intent of capturing Trump campaign officials in communication with the targeted foreign nationals.
Even if the FBI or the DOJ were not interested in investigating the foreign nationals, the Obama Administration appears to have instructed the NSA to find a way to conduct surveillance on the foreign nationals because the Obama Administration wanted to capture Trump campaign officials in conversations with Russian nationals or with foreign operatives that were working with Russian nationals.
Suspicion that unmasking had occurred quickly centered on Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, and CIA Director John Brennan. The question was this. Had President Obama instructed or otherwise allowed Rice, Power, and Brennan to unmask Trump campaign officials captured in NSA surveillance of foreign targets in order to develop information that Trump campaign officials were conspiring or otherwise colluding with Russian officials to rig the presidential election? It appears that once NSA electronic surveillance had captured intelligence appearing to link Trump campaign officials to Russian nationals, the Obama Administration next illegally leaked that information to friendly reporters in the mainstream media.
This would account for the number of reports accusing Trump campaign officials of colluding with the Russians that the mainstream media attributed to unnamed individuals close to the investigation. Within the White House, suspicion extended to former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes as a lead culprit in leaking to the press the evidence of Russian collusion found after Rice, Power, and Brennan unmasked Trump campaign officials captured in NSA electronic surveillance of foreign nationals.
On Sept. 19, 2017, CNN reported that Rice admitted to House Intelligence Committee members that she had unmasked the identities of senior Trump officials to understand why the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, was in New York in 2016. Months earlier on Apr. 5, 2017, President Trump told reporters that Rice may have committed a crime by seeking to learn the identities of Trump associates swept up in surveillance of foreign officials by U.S. spy agencies.
I think the Susan Rice thing is a massive story, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. It’s a bigger story than you know. The Russia story is a total hoax. There has been absolutely nothing coming out of that. What’s happened is terrible. I’ve never seen people so indignant, including many Democrats who are friends of mine.
Rice attempted to explain that she asked for the unmasking because Zayed had scheduled a trip to the United States without notifying the Obama administration about travel plans. However, it’s more likely that Rice was suspicious that Gen. Mike Flynn, Jared Kushner, and Steve Bannon had discussed opening a back channel to Russia in their three-hour discussion that focused on Iran, Yemen, and the Middle East peace process.
Eisenhower’s warning remains powerful because it identified a structural danger rather than naming a single hidden organization: when military institutions, defense contractors, lobbyists, and government officials develop mutually reinforcing interests, national security is impossible to distinguish from institutional self-preservation. A “shadow government” exists and is hell bent on doing its own will and protecting itself against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Persistent scrutiny of defense spending, intelligence authorities, classified operations, revolving-door employment, and the influence of private contractors is paramount to preserving our republic. Security and liberty are not automatic partners; they remain compatible only when elected officials, courts, Congress, journalists, and an informed public impose meaningful limits on power.
The illegal and seditious unmasking and leaks illustrate why evidence and due process are essential. Unmasking is a lawful intelligence procedure when identities are needed to understand foreign threats, while the unauthorized disclosure of classified information is a serious abuse. Violators must be identified through documented investigations and brought to justice. The broader lesson is that secrecy can protect national security, but it can also shield mistakes, misconduct, and/or partisan manipulation.
The conclusion that, in the past and currently, intelligence agencies serve whichever political narrative is most convenient for their dark agenda, is irrefutable. Confidence in both national defense and democratic government has eroded. The future challenge is for us to restore effective intelligence capabilities while ensuring that no administration—regardless of party—uses secrecy, surveillance, and leaks to place itself beyond accountability.
Do those dots connect? You decide.
