So, as we enter 2025, here’s the State of our Union a few days before we inaugurate a new President and a new administration. More precisely, here is the state of the Deep State. (The following list does not cover the full range of the Deep State, nor does it describe the size or personnel that make up each component part of the Deep State. I will leave for another day. Instead, I focus on the effects of the various component parts of the Deep State on the American people.)
First, there is the Regulatory Deep State, which is sapping the energy and creativity out of American entrepreneurship and business.
Second, there is the Welfare Deep State, which has created a nation of dependents and destroyed the family in many communities.
Third, there is the Tax & Spend Deep State, which has left America $36 Trillion in debt, and which will enslave our children and grandchildren to our profligacy.
Fourth, there is the Inflationary Deep State, which is printing money and reducing the purchasing power of ordinary Americans to buy food, clothes, and homes.
Fifth, there is the Election Deep State, which has actively engaged in election interference.
Sixth, there is the Foreign Policy Deep State, which is more concerned with exporting America’s LGBTQ+ agenda to the Third World than it is with keeping America safe.
Seventh, there is the Military Deep State, which keeps America in endless wars that it keeps losing.
Eighth, there is the Treason Deep State, which has been transferring American technology to the Chinese Communist Party for decades.
Ninth, there is there is the K-12 Education Deep State, which literally now teaches America’s children that 2 + 2 = 5 and that America is systemically racist.
Tenth, there is the Higher-Education Deep State, which often resembles mass Maoist struggle sessions that indoctrinate and censor.
Eleventh, there is a Corporate Deep State, which believes that trans-marketed beer is more important than shareholder profits.
Twelfth, there is an Entertainment Deep State, which produces movies and music that cater to kiddy sexuality and that idolize drug-ridden guttersnipes.
Thirteenth, there is the Media Deep State, which is—obviously—the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party.
Fourteenth, there is the Social-Media Deep State, which takes its censoring orders from the federal government, and which has jiggered its algorithms to addict and infantilize our children via an endless stream of concrete-bound images and “likes.”
Fifteenth, there is the Medical Deep State, which, in cahoots with government officials bans certain drugs, promotes others, says that it’s normal and good to drug and mutilate our children.
Sixteenth, there is the Lawfare Deep State, which, following government directives, has politicized and weaponized the legal system and abandoned the rule of law for the rule of men.
Seventeenth, there is the Surveillance Deep State, which is run by the NSA, CIA, and FBI to surveil without warrant the communications and financial transactions of ordinary Americans.
Eighteenth, there is the Climate Deep State, which seeks to eliminate fossil fuels and reverse engineer the industrial revolution.
Nineteenth, there is COVID Deep State, which locked down American economic and social life for 18 months.
Twentieth, there is the Administrative Deep State, which just got a whole lot deeper when President Biden issued an executive order last year making it near impossible to fire federal bureaucrats, thereby institutionalizing the Administrative Deep State in-perpetuity.
To repeat, the Deep State is much deeper than you realize.
