While many in the United States firmly believe that the
government just isn’t working, it is. But it’s only working for the
powerful and rich elites in the government and the media who have a desire to
cling to their oppressive control of others and the money many are willing to
allow them to steal.
The fight
has never been between the republicans and the democrats. As Americans
choose sides, their rights and freedoms are
sold to the highest bidder. According to Intellectual Takeout,
the fight is between “us” and the deep state; not those on the right and those
on the left. More and more often we are seeing bureaucrats, lobbyists,
and elected officials of both parties circle the wagons in an effort to prevent any true reforms of
the government. They constantly write laws they exclude themselves
from, come up with inventive ways to tax us to
our breaking point and destroy the healthcare system.
And this is all by design.
According
to Joost Meerloo in his seminal book The Rape of the Mind, the author discusses
the psychology of brainwashing that’s
allowing every American to succumb to tyranny right before
their eyes and not only not realize it, but beg for more oppression. “The
burning psychological question is whether man will eventually master his
institutions so that these will serve him and not rule him,” said Meerloo in
his discussion of the Deep State or the “administrative machine” published in
1956.The Rape of the Mind: ...Joost

Meerlo
describes the rise of the deep state as:
“… The development of a kind of bureaucratic absolutism is not
limited, however, to totalitarian countries. A mild form of professional
absolutism is evident in every country in the mediating class of civil servants
who bridge the gap between man and his rulers. Such a bureaucracy may be used
to help or to harm the citizens it should serve.
It is
important to realize that a peculiar, silent form of battle goes on in all of
the countries of the world — under every form of government — a battle between
the common man and the government apparatus he himself has created. In
many places we can see that this governing tool, which was originally meant to
serve and assist man, has gradually obtained more power than it was intended to
have.
… Governmental techniques are no different from any other
psychological strategy; the deadening hold of regimentation can take mental
possession of those dedicated to it, if they are not alert. And this
is the intrinsic danger of the various agencies that mediate between the common
man and his government. It is a tragic aspect of life
that man has to place another fallible man between himself and the attainment
of his highest ideals.” –The Rape of the Mind
Meerlo goes on to say that the power of simply being in
government will corrupt:
Being a
high civil servant subjects man to a dangerous temptation, simply because he is
a part of the ruling apparatus. He finds himself caught in the strategy
complex. The magic of becoming an executive and a strategist provokes
long-repressed feelings of omnipotence. A strategist feels like a chess
player. He wants to manipulate the world by remote control. Now he can
keep others waiting, as he was forced to wait himself in his salad days, and
thus he can feel himself superior. –The Rape of the Mind
But what
we are seeing now is not only the corruption of the government. We are
witnessing the deep state pulling the strings of every politician and
fight to keep their power and money. The members of the Deep State are
fighting for not only their jobsand their power but their sense
of being. It is an ego boost to control entire populations. But what meaning do
they have in life if they were shown that they are in fact dispensable, that
they and their departments can be eliminated? In the end, their egos
depend upon the maintenance and growth of the power and prestige.
Over many
decades, the very government so many still trust to keep them safe has put
in place compulsive orders, red tape, and regulations while expanding exponentially to
enforce what it creates and stealing more tax money to
cover the rising costs. All the while, its roots drive deeper and deeper into
the very government many still fight to protect. Even the politicians who
we send to D.C. thinking that they represent us are ensnared in the game. They
begin to play by the rules set forth by the Deep
State; indeed, our elected officials even become dependent upon
the Deep State.
So the question is, how do we combat the deep state and get our
freedom back?
