Chapter 0: The Deep State
If you read any part of this book, I hope it is this section. If you come away with anything from this book, I hope that it is this chapter on the Deep State because many theories on the Deep State have turned out to be true.
It goes by many names: the Deep State, The Shadow Government, The Invisible Government, The Parallel Government, as well as with other compounding theories such as the American Corporate Empire and the Empire of Economic Hegemony.
Financial powers control the government. There is an executive branch, as well as legislative and judicial, yet they are all subservient in the established connections of the Deep State. The president, senators, and representatives change, but the Deep State does not change.
Massive financial controls have a stranglehold on the government, and they manipulate the government into performing certain actions to suit their special interests...as well as taking advantage of developing nations and exploiting their resources.
Look at the work of Jeffery Sachs, John Perkins, Muhammad Yunnus, and Dambisa Moyo for supporting points.
1) The Military Industrial Complex.
By the 1980's the arms industry became the second most profitable industry in the world. There is an enormous amount of money to be made from selling large-scale military weaponry around the world. The United States can use the CIA (or various other controls such as manipulating an economic situation) to cause a conflict in a part of the world. Next, they try to blame the conflict on someone else and instigate a war between two opposing sides. Then, they sell arms to both sides.
During the two World Wars, the Swiss used an interesting model of remaining in the center of Europe and their famous neutral policies. Then, they served as the banking interest for the rest of the continent. While the rest of the nations were engaged in armed combat, Switzerland sat in the middle of it all, took the money, and got rich.
A plan such as that would seem tame compared to the actions of the Military Industrial Complex. To elaborate, instead of making a profit off of other nations' banking interests, money is made by destroying nations through the sale of arms for conflicts that should not have happened. The most notable example is the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, the Angola Operation of the CIA, the destabilization of Chile and removal of Salvador Allende, and the establishment of the narcokleptocracy in Panama under Manuel Noriega.
Conflicts are created. Leaders are taken out. Other leaders are put in place who allow the arms corporations to expand their financial gain. With great concentrations of wealth come great concentrations of power. The power is not in the hands of the Executive Branch or of any other government entity. It is in the hands of the financial interest, which can support the politicians campaign or destroy them in the media all the same.
Former CIA director John Stockwell famous said, the purpose of alternative media is that the same people who own the arms corporations own the television networks, yet in the new millennium alternative media has become so popular that is also been purchased by corporate giants. VICE Magazine was purchased by Rupert Murdoch, and Infowars has allied with the Republican Party and received approval from a Republican president who works for the Deep State.
2) Economic Neo-Colonialism
Not only are military conflicts started and supplied by the Military-Industrial Complex, but poverty is also created. Poverty is Manufactured. Nations are kept poor, so other nations can be rich. If there is going to be a rich, there needs to be a poor.
Poor nations get forced into finance systems where they take loans at below market value. This is famed in the term foreign aid (differentiating from emergency and disaster relief aid). The loans are accepted by the poor country, and the wealth of the nation goes to paying back the loan to the stronger economic power.
The natural resources of the poorer nations are also taken over by the work of multi-national corporations. The most famous incident is that of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran. A handful individuals at the top in Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East receive wealth. The income inequality of the nation grows. Poverty increases for the working class, and the multi-national corporations take most of the wealth.
The corporations get richer, and the government of the nations has to pay back to the money to its creditors. Thus, the system of poverty is manufactured.
Conclusion:
This is one conspiracy theory that has turned out to be true.
