Trump suddenly fired at least a dozen inspectors from some of America’s most powerful federal agencies, including the Pentagon, as well as the State Department and the Department of Energy, thereby upending Washington’s political landscape and, according to some, fundamentally shaking the so-called „deep state.” But what exactly is this „deep state” or „shadow government” that is so often referenced? What impact will this presidential move have on the lords of the Deep State and their relationship with the U.S. government?
To even grasp the question itself, we must begin with a brief historical overview, identifying the origin of the organization or group in question and, above all, understanding it.
Queen Victoria, in 1859, banned and nationalized the East India Company, which, as early as 1640, had been applying its own laws in Southeast Asia and India in the territories it occupied, even minting its own currency. By the early 1700s, the British Parliament passed a—royal!—law granting the company state independence and tax exemptions. This first liberal—bourgeois—state very successfully plundered and ravaged its surroundings, and had the company’s owners not killed each other over the division of profits, Queen Victoria might not have nationalized it. However, it’s possible that, in that case, the USA would not exist today, and monstrous slave ships would still be crossing the oceans.
After the nationalization, the lords of the company moved to North America, where they used the wealth accumulated by the East India Company—primarily through drug and slave trafficking—to purchase estates or received them as compensation from Victoria. (These estates had become worthless to the Crown after the American War of Independence.) As they became the wealthiest individuals on the American continent, they also became the „crowning” lords of various—primarily former British colonial—states. This meant that, with the monarchy abolished, no one could aspire to the governor’s seat of a state without their support, and the governor could hardly make any decisions without their consent. This proto-liberal system, born in the colonies, was the ancestor of the American deep state—the infamous „Deep State.”
The establishment of the American Deep State faced no obstacles, as the population of the American states, which had won independence from European royal houses and was 100% composed of immigrants, brought with them—mainly from Europe—an unconditional respect for wealthy lords dressed in expensive and fine clothing. The masses readily accepted their rule—a striking example of Hegel’s “master-servant relationship,” which the liberal Fukuyama also referenced as a “divine foundation” in his world-famous work The End of History, where he glorified the global dominance of liberal grand lords.
The experience gained in operating the East India Company was therefore easily transferable to the management of American society, which is why the masses didn’t even notice that they had once again fallen into servitude.
Naturally, the Deep State did not rule as a charitable or patriotic institution but rather in the interest of its own wealth accumulation.
For this reason, its lords not only kept the governors under their control but also the representatives (senators) and the wealthier industrial and financial entrepreneurs. At extravagant parties and galas held in lavish castles, the Deep State made—and continues to make—decisions on all sorts of matters, which those delegated to positions in the economy or public authority were obliged to enforce or ensure compliance with by the relevant parties. The public law elite and the top bureaucratic class in their service guaranteed dominion over society, while the police and sheriff’s offices—evolved from slave-hunting brigades—maintained social peace and collected taxes from citizens and smaller businesses. Like in a fairy tale—everything was so perfect.
Meanwhile, civil society—millions of citizens—lived, and continues to live, under the belief in free gubernatorial elections and political freedom, unknowingly serving the selfish interests of the Deep State. The elections held every four years, the freedom of speech and demonstration, and the occasional major „gate” exposés in the media—all of these create the illusion of freedom and a normal, self-governing society in the minds of citizens. But in reality, nothing can happen against the will of the Deep State, neither in the USA nor in its colonies.
By the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, under the direction of the Deep State—operating with the business and military expertise gained from the East India Company—the United States became not only a wealthy industrial and agricultural power but also a military superpower. Leveraging this, the USA—on the Deep State’s orders—not only waged wars throughout the 20th century (according to General Ben Hodges, former Commander of U.S. Army Europe, primarily against weaker, technologically underdeveloped nations incapable of defending themselves) but also gained decisive influence over international organizations such as the World Bank, the IMF, the UN, and the World Trade Organization (WTO), among others. By the second half of the 20th century, the USA had become such an aggressive military superpower that it earned the title of „world’s policeman” in international diplomacy—a label that sounds like praise only among its vassals and in their perception.
After the end of World War II, the USA did not make peace with Germany but instead kept it occupied—and continues to occupy it—as a sort of European bridgehead. It used the German base to establish the Deep State’s dominance over Europe as well.
This was not a difficult task, as the European royal houses, noble families, and wealthy bourgeois families enriched by the colonial system were—and still are—connected by familial ties to prominent figures in the American Deep State. These connections facilitated the transfer and adoption of the Deep State’s know-how on the old continent.
The European elite, eager for the offered power and profit, gladly joined the deep state—dominated by their American relatives and already aspiring to world domination at that time—and carried out the self-colonization of Western Europe and its subordination to the USA, which was essentially a prerequisite for establishing a successful power structure.
By 1951, they had created the European Coal and Steel Community—also known as the „Montan Union”—in which six Western states participated: France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. Today, historical academic research confirms that the Montan Union was also established by the U.S. government, but since the country had no direct interest in doing so, it clearly acted on the orders of the Deep State.
The Montan Union soon transformed into the Common Market (EEC), and the Council of Europe was quickly established (in 1952) under American leadership—specifically by W. Donovan, the father of the CIA. The owners of European big capital and the high-ranking nobility were delighted to note that, from the very founding of the Montan Union, money began flowing to the Western European bourgeoisie, made even more indulgent and gratifying by the Marshall Plan received from their wealthy American relatives.
The European Union project, already in the planning stages at that time, made the establishment of the American dominance model even more appealing to European elites. The project aimed to create a continental power structure that, on one hand, restored the authority they had lost over Europe during the 19th-century revolutions and World War II. On the other hand, once the necessary economic and military capabilities were developed, it provided a negotiating partner position against the giant „communist” Soviet Union—a workers’ state that the elites constantly feared.
At the same time, the European Deep State system ensures the same social and political peace for Europeans as it does in the USA, thereby preventing both the rise of communism and (left-wing) workers’ revolutions. After all, who in Europe today—or even in the USA—would say that there is no democracy or political freedom, when everyone can vote and anyone can be elected, just like in America? (Really?)
All things considered, it can be stated that:
1.) the Deep State is the true ruling system of the Atlantic bloc, protecting authentic big capital and the original bourgeoisie from local society while forcing people to generate the wealth it demands and fight its imperialist wars.
2.) At the same time, it ensures a hereditary power over society for certain individuals, passed down from father to son, much like kings in feudalism—without any need to interact with society or be accountable to anyone for their decisions, which govern societies and economies.
3.) Thus, the leaders of states who wield public authority are nothing more than frontmen for a secret empire. Viktor Orbán, Olaf Scholz, and Donald Trump are all part of this. (Ursula von der Leyen, unelected by anyone, serves as the Deep State’s overseer of European frontmen, appointed—on a familial basis—by the system.) Any top official or head of state can be „fired”—anyone—and the system doesn’t even flinch.
4.) In other words, Trump’s actions neither interest nor disturb the Deep State. This means that the excited people who believe Trump is a fighter of a democratic revolution need to be calmed down! Because they are gravely mistaken! He is merely rearranging the ranks of the authoritarian system in a way that best serves the Deep State.
