@emptywheel How #JohnDurham Buried #Evidence He Had Been Doing the Work of #Russian #Spies … and then #TulsiGabbard Buried. As I’ve been showing, the Durham #classified annex goes to significant lengths to hide that a #Russian #email discussing creating a #conspiracy theory about the American #DeepState, which he dates to July 26, precedes the draft SVR memo he claims has animated his years-long hunt, which dates to July 27 or later. https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/09/how-john-durham-buried-evidence-he-had-been-doing-the-work-of-russian-spies-and-then-tulsi-gabbard-buried-more/ https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/09/how-john-durham-buried-evidence-he-had-been-doing-the-work-of-russian-spies-and-then-tulsi-gabbard-buried-more/ #maga
@MalcolmNance
Isn't it interesting the way people who screamed "#DeepState!" for four years, claiming there was "a secret cabal secretly running the government & undermining our democracy" have embraced #fascism? 
…or accused #Democrats of being a #pedophile cult running a "Child sex dungeon in the basement of a (basementless) pizza parlor" only to elect the best friend of a known pedophile, and make excuses for him as he tries to cover-up his involvement? #PedoDon #GOPHypocrisy #hypocrites

| Von jenseits des Grabes: Trump und die #Epstein-Verschwörung
Die Geister, die er rief: Gehört Donald #Trump selbst zum „#DeepState“, den er zu bekämpfen vorgibt? Immer mehr Amerikaner glauben daran.
Bernd Harder darüber, wie dem US-Präsidenten das Anfeuern von #Verschwörungstheorie|n gerade auf die Füße zu fallen droht.

"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."
#AlexJones taking part in the "#Deepstate" is the height of irony. The #AltRight to #Fascism pipeline is completed.
#Epstein would be proud.

#MAGA elected a serial adulterer who has made creepy comments about being attracted to his own daughter, and known friend of pedo Jeff #Epstein, to "Expose a #DeepState #pedophile ring" and the "truth" behind every lurid accusation he ever lobbed at #Democrats. 
"The Epstein case illustrates Trump’s 'deep state' no less than does an unsigned 'shadow docket' Supreme Court decision allowing Trump to wipe out the Department of Education."

"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?"

When he got into power, #Trump would expose the #DeepState and set America on a path towards a new, golden era where everyone would be rich and Democrats would be thrown in jail for their crimes against humanity.
Unfortunately for the true #MAGA believers, this narrative is now falling apart in real time. Here’s a brief outline of what has happened over the past few days:

@dangillmor - when MAGA realises *they* are The Deep State they insisted existed and was against the US, and their Beloved Leader tries to distract them otherwise.
Kakistocracy at its best.
Feeling Great Yet America?
#ChrisCristie on #ThisWeek regarding #BlondieBondi's denying the existence of any #Epstein Files #ClientList:
"Donald T**** started this fire." He "promised transparency" and the release of everything from The #JFK Investigation to #TheEpsteinFiles, and now his own supporters are accusing him of being part of a #DeepState #Coverup.

Notice that all these public servants (scientists/specialists) are the ones Trump & MAGA call #DeepState

In Russia, post-Stalinism has become the ideological glue. Putin’s regime uses Stalinist symbols and WWII mythology to forge national identity, justify authoritarianism, and criminalize dissent. The “deep state” isn’t just a Western conspiracy theory—it’s a visible reality in both Russia and the US. #DeepState #PostStalinism
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.
If you see these #gestapo mofos in your community, demand to see their IDs and collect names. Do not back down. This kind of authoritarian power-grab depends upon fear and compliance. Give them neither. #ICE and the rest of these #DeepState goons deserve defiance, not respect.
@TwraSun
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.
