Totalitarian arrogance. The deep state can seem like an urban myth, but then, as an experiment, in your Motel 6 environment, you hit the lights and turn on an ultra-violet lamp and -- zing! zowie! -- there are cum shadows governing everywhere; the Circle Jerks have been here.

The Deep State is getting deeper and darker all the time. At the same time, it's coming out of the closet; it's, as Moyers and Lofgren put it, hidden in plain sight. There's a full arc back to Ike's 1960 warning. DARPA is the soul of a Deep State MIC. This is not merely speculation. In a January 2018 PBS American Experience episode, "Weapons of the Future," Cori Brosnahan spoke with Annie Jacobson, a DARPA insider, not only about weaponry but about DARPA's overall mission, vis a vis the Deep State and as the guardian of American values. Brosnahan asks:

Q: Where does that leave DARPA in the web of the military industrial complex?

A: I would say DARPA is the driver of the military industrial complex. You could say that's not as sinister as it sounds, or you could say it's super sinister. People that I was interviewing for the book, different scientists, would often say to me, 'How would the American public feel if Iran, if Russia, if a dark horse like Saudi Arabia came out with some weapon system, some technological surprise that the United States could not compete with? Everyone would say where is DARPA?'

DARPA is, for instance, deeply and darkly behind Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), with its surface beneficence on display (can cure the blind and the crippled), but which doubles as an agent of mind control; married to AI technology it could spell D-O-O-M and lower the BOOM. MKULTRA at the nano-level. Do you feel the cautionary tale? (See my review.)

The deep dark state is coming to a mental cinema near (or in) you soon.
