Is Trump fighting for or against the Deep State?

Is Trump fighting for or against the Deep State? Exposing the truth about Trump and his relationship with the Deep State. Mon, 22 Jul 2024 02:57:19 GMT https://healthandfreedom.substack.com/p/is-trump-fighting-for-or-against For quite some time I have been debating in my mind whether Trump is the man we need to eliminate the Deep State or a hidden operative of the Deep State. Is he a good guy or a bad guy?

I genuinely hope he is good. I want to route for him.

And based on what he says, he seems good. He seems like he wants to drain the swamp. He seems like he is fighting for freedom.

And recently truth seekers that I admire have endorsed him including:

Elon Musk

Marc Andreessen

Tucker Carlson

Russel Brand

and many others.

This is a good sign. But, like myself, maybe they are simply attracted to what he says…

But I would be curious to hear more about what they think about what he does.

Because what he does, tells a different story.

And to me, actions speak louder than words.

What is the “Deep State?” Before we further diagnose Trump’s relationship with the Deep State, let’s come to some agreed-upon definition of this ambiguous term.

the deep state is a clandestine network of members of the federal government (especially within the FBI and CIA ), working in conjunction with high-level financial and industrial entities and leaders, to exercise power alongside or within the elected United States government.

~ Wikipedia

The Deep State’s motives are money and power. Money is the industry and power is the government. So the Deep State is the union of industry (money) and government (power).

This is where the term “Blank-Industrial-Complex” comes in.

President Eisenhower coined the term, warning against the Military-Industrial-Complex in his Farewell Address.

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”

~ President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address (1961)

But it is not just the military. It is any industry.

Here are familiar industrial complexes that you may have heard of:

Military Industrial Complex

Those who profit from war such as defense contractors, energy providers, and banks (through loans) are incentivized to promote war. The more war, the more contracts, energy, and money needed for the war. The more war, the more justification for government money (taxpayer dollars) sent to industry (corporate pockets). It is a vicious cycle that creates more war.

Industry Size (Motive): $842 Billion

Government Portion of Spending: $842 Billion (100%)

Private Portion of Spending: $0 (0%)

Medical Industrial Complex

Medicine educators (universities), medicine distributors (pharmacies), medical treaters (hospitals), medicine providers (pharmaceuticals), and any organization involved are incentivized to keep people sick. The more sick people, the more medicine needed, the more money made. The more sick a nation, the more justifications for government money (taxpayer dollars) sent to industry (corporate pockets). It is a vicious cycle that creates more sickness.

Industry Size (Motive): $4.3 Trillion

Government Portion of Spending: $2.15 Trillion (50%)

Private Portion of Spending: $2.15 Trillion (50%)

Banking Industrial Complex

Banks and other financial institutions are incentivized to encourage more debt. Their number one customer is the government. The more debt, the more interest, the more money made. The more war or sickness or whatever that encourages the other industrial complexes, the more justification for increased budgets for government spending (taxpayer dollars) and money printing (deflating our dollars) that are then sent (through interest) back into the industry (corporate pockets).

Industry Size (Motive): $23 Trillion Assets

Annual Federal Budget: $660 Billion +

At its core, the industrial complex leverages corporate/industry influence and money to corrupt government power to put government money into corporate pockets. And then the vicious cycle continues.

And corporate pockets don’t extend to the people, but instead only to those at the top. This is seen massive gap in wealth distribution where the 1% wealthiest hold 35% of all the wealth.

So how do corporations gain power in government?

One way is through what is called “regulatory capture.”

Industry spends money to gain regulatory capture to gain the power to use that power to make more money.

And how do they spend money?

Lobbying (and other more subtle ways).

LOTS of money goes into lobbying.

Total Lobbying Expenditure Annual Spending (2022): Approximately $4 billion.

Key Sectors:

Healthcare: One of the largest lobbying sectors, with significant contributions from pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and health insurance companies.

Finance/Insurance/Real Estate: Includes major banks, investment firms, and real estate companies.

Energy/Natural Resources: Includes oil, gas, and other energy industries.

Technology: Tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Facebook are major spenders.

Defense: Defense contractors and related industries also spend significant amounts on lobbying.

Lobbying is the “known money.” But like anything, it is like an iceberg. The known money is just the tip of it.

The unknown money comes in many other formats funneled through elections, non-profits, shell companies, or even public markets (Ex. Nancy Pelosi).

But regardless of whether it is known or not, it is happening.

Like they say, “You gotta spend money to make money.”

And this is why they also say “Follow the money.”

Predictive Activities of the Deep State If you follow the money, you can start to expose the deep state.

If I were the President and an Operative of the Deep State here is what I would do:

start more problems that feed into industrial complexes: more wars, more sickness (pandemic), more crime, more division, etc.

increase ways for the government to have more money to give out to the industry (raise taxes, print money, quantitative easing, etc. )

bring more industry leaders into positions of power within the government (cabinet )

There are other examples but these are some obvious ones.

Understanding this, let’s look at the actions of Donald Trump and compare them to common Deep State activity.

Trump’s Relationship with the Deep State In 2016, I voted for Trump. Ignoring his previous relationships with Larry Fink, Bill & Hillary Clinton, and other clear Deep State Operatives, I truly believed he would fight for freedom and the death of the Deep State.

And I did not question it, until COVID.

Although there were no wars, it fed into more sickness, crime, and division.

Trump allowed for the shutdown of the country while criticizing it. He pushed forward the pharmaceutical agenda actively accelerating (and later bragging about) Operation Warp Speed vaccine while speaking about alternatives like Ivermectin. He spoke against the actions of the Federal Reserve while allowing for a $8T+ increase in Federal Debt, more than all the past Presidents combined.

It is a theme of speaking for one thing and acting towards another.

And this is the same thing with his relationship with the Deep State. Donald Trump speaks about draining the swap, something I am all about, but yet his actions don’t seem to doing such a thing.

RFK Jr. highlights this better than I can.

He is a candidate running to end the relationships between corporations and the Government with a focus on ending the Chronic Disease Epidemic fed by the Medical-Industrial Complex. He recently shared some eye-opening details of Donald Trump’s activities:

Watch here : Skip to 17m53s.

President Trump came in under the promise that he would drain the swamp. Instead, he appointed a pharmaceutical lobbyist and CEO to run HHS, a Verizon lobbyist to run the FCC, a Goldman Sachs CEO to run the Treasury Department, an oil lobbyist to run the Interior Department, and a coal lobbyist to run the environmental protection agency, and so on. And only today, President Trump has announced that in his new administration, should he win this election, Jamie Dimon (CEO of JPMorgan Chase) will be his choice as Commerce Secretary, and Larry Fink the director of BlackRock will run the Treasury Department. This is the swamp. These are swamp creatures. His pick as Vice President is a salute to the CIA, the intelligence community, and the military-industrial complex. Their gravy train is going to continue.

~ RFK Jr.

Trump promised to drain the swamp and take down the Deep State which is the union between Corporation and Government, yet his actions were the exact opposite.

One thing that has me hopeful about Trump is the fact that he did not send us to war, like other Deep State Presidents in the past.

But then I followed the money a bit deeper.

Trump increased the military budget spending $606 Billion in 2017 to $738 Billion in 2020.

This wasn’t the only federal budget increase. He also increased the budget towards Veteran Affairs (money that goes into the Medical Industrial Complex), Homeland Security (surveillance), and more. As mentioned, he increased the national deficit by $8T and poured $18B towards the vaccine.

So although he didn’t send us to war directly, between the increase in military spending, the $18 Billion poured towards Operation Warp Speed Vaccine, and the $8T addition to the national debt, it feels as if he set the stage perfectly for Biden to then take the bad guy role to send us to war (Military Industrial Complex), spend more on the vaccines (Medical Industrial Complex), and print more money to increase our national debt by another $8T (Banking Industrial Complex).

Summary Trump reminds me of the Homelander in the popular series “The Boys.”

For context:

The Boys is an American satirical superhero television series developed by Eric Kripke for Amazon Prime Video . Based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson , it follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals (referred to as "Supes") who abuse their powers for personal gain and work for a powerful company that ensures the general public views them as heroes.

~ Wikipedia

The Homelander (John Gillman )[1] [2] is a fictional character and one of the main antagonists in the comic book series The Boys and the media franchise of the same name , created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson . He is depicted as a psychopathic and sadistic narcissist who serves as the extremely powerful leader of The Seven —a group of corrupt and hedonistic superheroes grown and funded by Vought-American —and the archenemy of Billy Butcher . Beneath his public image as a noble and altruistic hero, the Homelander cares little about the well-being of those he professes to protect.

~ Wikipedia

Here is a scene from The Boys of Homelander that loosely shows this dynamic.

Like the Homelander’s words, Trump's words are noble.

But are his actions?

Beneath his public image as a noble and altruistic hero, the Homelander Trump cares little about the well-being of those he professes to protect.

I deeply deeply hope this is not true.

I hope Trump is who he says he is.

But it is increasingly difficult for me to ignore his actions.

What do you think?

Someone, please provide more insight into why Trump is not Homelander.

With Truth & Love,
