THE SWAMP WASN’T DRAINED:: How the Deep State Played Trump During the Pandemic. My podcast (transcript provided) with Rob Montz,  whose documentary reveals how one scientifically ignorant bureaucrat, Deborah Birx, imposed lockdowns and mask mandates during the pandemic.  He calls it a “silent coup” against Trump — carried out with Mike Pence’s acquiescence. And check out Montz’s documentary, “It Wasn’t Fauci.”

PAST PERFORMANCE IS…PRETTY CONSISTENT, ACTUALLY: NYT: There Is a Deep State and it Is Awesome.

You have to hand it to The New York Times. They are as slick as they are deceptive.

A paper once known for afflicting the comfortable in government, they have been on a tear lately, shilling for the overlords who want to run our lives and rig our democracy.

Don’t ever change Gray Lady, don’t ever change:

How big a “deep state” does the gray lady want? What sorts of things does she want it to do to people she doesn’t like? That big.

THE DEEP STATE: Elon Musk reveals Twitter had FBI ‘portal that auto-deleted all comms’ after 2 weeks.

He added that the move struck him “as a FOIA violation, a Freedom of Information Act violation…because you shouldn’t be able to delete orderly things after two weeks.”

Musk also revealed that “there’s a little-known agency in the state department called the Global Engagement Center, which most people have never heard of, but they might have been the single worst offender because they demanded the suspension of over 250,000 accounts which I think all Twitter largely complied with.”

“The suspension demands were so broad that they accidentally demanded a suspension of a journalist on CNN and an elected Canadian politician. It was just an incredibly broad swath.”

Meanwhile, at the New York Times: It Turns Out the ‘Deep State’ Is Actually Kind of Awesome.

THE NEW SPACE RACE/ELON MUSK’S INSURANCE POLICY AGAINST DEEP STATE EFFORTS TO SHUT DOWN SPACEX: SpaceX building hundreds of spy satellites for US government, report says.

SpaceX is “building a network of hundreds of spy satellites” for a US intelligence agency under a $1.8 billion contract signed in 2021, Reuters reported on Saturday. Reuters cited “five sources familiar with the program” in its report on SpaceX’s classified contract with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), a Defense Department agency that deploys surveillance satellites and calls itself the “global leader in space-based intelligence.”

“The satellites can track targets on the ground and share that data with US intelligence and military officials, the sources said,” according to Reuters. The newly reported details are consistent with a Wall Street Journal report in February 2024 that said SpaceX had “entered into a $1.8 billion classified contract with the US government in 2021.”

Reuters wrote that it “was unable to determine when the new network of satellites would come online” but stated that about a dozen prototype satellites have been launched in the past few years. The prototypes reportedly launched “among other satellites on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets.”

SpaceX, of course, has deployed thousands of low-Earth orbit satellites for its Starlink division that provides broadband service to consumer, business, and government customers. The spy satellites for the NRO also operate in low-Earth orbits, the Reuters report said.

“The plans show the extent of SpaceX’s involvement in US intelligence and military projects and illustrate a deeper Pentagon investment into vast, low-Earth orbiting satellite systems aimed at supporting ground forces,” Reuters wrote. “If successful, the sources said the program would significantly advance the ability of the US government and military to quickly spot potential targets almost anywhere on the globe.”

Combine that ability with “rods from God” and other rapid-delivery systems and you’ve really got something.

On the other hand, after everything else we’ve learned about Washington these last several years, I hope Musk built in a single kill switch for the entire constellation.

A UNITER, NOT A DIVIDER! The deep state tells Biden to retire.

It was only a matter of time before a major liberal pundit came forward to publicly deliver the bad news: Joe, it’s time to go.

Now, it’s happened, care of David Ignatius, a Washington Post associate editor and senior foreign affairs writer. Ignatius has thrown down the gauntlet to Biden with a column bluntly titled: “President Biden should not run again in 2024.” Dispensing the required pleasantries about Biden’s “remarkable string of wins,” Ignatius adds, “What I admire most about President Biden is that in a polarized nation, he has governed from the center out.”

This will be news to Republicans.

Finally, he gets to the point: “But I don’t think Biden and Vice President Harris should run for reelection. It’s painful to say that, given my admiration for much of what they have accomplished. But if he and Harris campaign together in 2024, I think Biden risks undoing his greatest achievement — which was stopping Trump.”

Ignatius states the obvious: Joe is too old for the job, adding acidly, “Biden’s age isn’t just a Fox News trope; it’s been the subject of dinner-table conversations across America this summer.” Ignatius then switches to Harris and why she’s hopeless too, sticking in the shiv: “Harris has many laudable qualities, but the simple fact is that she has failed to gain traction in the country or even within her own party.” Ignatius advises Joe to go away, preferably soon, so as to allow the Democrats time to assemble a better team to win the White House in 2024. “Time is running out,” he says.

Ignatius  is not alone among elite leftists: Joe Scarborough Reveals Every Single Democrat He Speaks to Off Air Admits Biden is ‘Too Old to Run.’

UPDATE: Nancy Pelosi concedes Biden may drop out of 2024 race — then laughs and refuses to say if Kamala Harris is the best running mate.

DON SURBER: Kamala Can Win: The Deep State Loves Her. “Well, being popular among voters is overrated in elections that are fixed. . . . The deep state can turn Kamala into a straight Obama if necessary. And it just might become necessary if Biden makes many more public appearances. Her greatest attribute to the DC crowd is her incompetence. The deep state loves incompetent people because they rely on the Civil Service-protected Peter Strzoks to run things.”

JEFFREY CARTER: “I think to this day the card-carrying elites and the Deep State along with Democrats who aren’t card-carrying elites have nary a clue why Trump came to power.” “Watch the actions of people around the actions of January 6th compared to the riots in 2020. Watch the way you are treated under the law compared to Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul, or Hunter Biden, or Hillary Clinton. When Congresspeople make millions in stock trading and you can’t, how do you think people feel? When Eric Sawell can sleep with a Chinese spy and still command respect and his positions of power within the Democratic Party, what do you think people feel? When people like Mitt Romney are elected using one platform and then act on another, how do you think voters feel?”

At least we can see the Deep State bleed. And see the repulsive color of its life blood. It’s made of death, power and money.

HOW CORRUPT IS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE? This Corrupt. “The Deep State isn’t a cabal, per se. They aren’t gathering a (now marijuana) smoke-filled room plotting the downfall of America. Rather, they are a bunch of high-level bureaucrats who believe that they have the wisdom and the power to run the country, all the way down to what you are allowed and not allowed to say. They are America’s nomenklatura. The Elite run things regardless of who is in power, although they work hard to make sure that Democrats are in power since that party is happier to expand the money and power the nomenklatura have. The DOJ is at the top of the heap because they control the levers of coercive power, although you may have noticed that even the IRS and EPA now have heavily armed agents to bully citizens. . . . The Durham Report outlined many of these dangerous breaches of law, but of course, nobody is going to pay a price for the damage they have done either to the people involved, the country, or the rule of law. Instead, they are celebrated in the MSM.”

THE DEEP STATE, MARK ONE: The Watergate Cover-up Never Ends. “That’s not in any way to excuse the many stupid things Richard Nixon and his cronies did. But Nixon was at best a peripheral figure. Then as now, D.C. is a rigged town, with very different rules for Republicans as against Democrats.”
