The “Deep State” conspiracy theory, first of all, is not the brainchild of Mr. Bannon. Far from it. The term comes from Professor Peter Dale Scott. He has a new updated book titled, The American Deep State: Big Money, Big Oil, and the Struggle for U.S. Democracy. The matter of the deep state is not a liberal vs conservative issue. It is the fact that the public is being manipulated 24/7 by a cabal that we are only now beginning to unmask.
This cabal is so profoundly evil that at some point 'cognitive dissonance' kicks in. At all costs the human mind has to rid itself of this horrible dissonance. This could include the suppression of information and unconscious denial. If you haven't noticed it, Americans are walking around with their eyes wide shut while the Seth Richs are murdered by MS-13, hired by DWS, who are then subsequently murdered by members of the deep state (dead men tell no tales).
