Don't believe what they tell you; believe what you see. And what you see is Trump, who campaigned on peace and hostility to Wall St (which has a revolving door with the CIA and which the Deep State serves) escalating wars, starting new wars, and installing to run the country the hedge managers he called, on the stump, "murderers," including 6 alumni of Goldman-Sachs, which he lambasted when it was found out Ted Cruz's wife had worked for G-S and who now run the economy, designing huge tax cuts for the wealthy (themselves) and the corporations, combined with deregulation.
This is the very program Bush ran, and how did that turn out? This is the program of corporate fascism.
Donald Trump, figurehead, for the invisible government which gave him a way to defeat Clinton, when he was far behind, now serves the Deep State, which is not difficult since his basic instincts are the same.
And if he ever does cross the Deep State he will go the way of JFK, and others who didn't play by the rules. And those who make the rules are the true rulers, the Deep State, serving the interests of Wall St and corporate America. And that is why I say: Deep State elected President, in an ever increasing crescendo of corporate fascism as the latest twist on Mussolini's Doctrine of Fascism, in which the state and the corporation merge interests: state power enforces corporate interests; corporate money buys the state. The Deep State engineers the coup and act as the broker between Big Money and Big Power.
The state serves the corporations, and the corporations own the state. In the end, the state and the private corporations not only merge, as Mussolini insisted, but they become one and the same: corporate fascism, like the older mythology of state fascism (in fact, in the 3d Reich the banks and corporations overruled the Nazis...see Manchester's Krupp's Arms) is the fulfillment of our first Chief Justice John Jay's proclamation that "Those who own the country should run it."
And if that offends the public's belief in democracy than create the charade of democracy and, as in Plato's Allegory of the Cave project the false images on the screen as a fake reality for the public, whom Plato called prisoners. And if anyone calls out the shadow play and suggests control by a shadow government, call them conspiracy theorists (a term invented by the CIA) and call their claims "fake news."
