A title like that always makes me think I’m going to be rickrolled.
Isn’t this what they used to mean by “deep state”? The “realists” in the government who were perfectly happy to do whatever nefariousness was necessary to “protect America” and all those pesky civilians trying to have some sort of oversite of them were just an extension of the enemy. J. Edgar thought Bobby F. was a communist, not because of any actual communist actions on his part but because he wanted oversight of the the FBI. This is basically the same thing.
When did “deep state” come to mean “scientists objecting to lying”?
Edit: accommodating @anon77190095’s pedantry.
