To the editor: In his column differentiating between the “swamp” and the “deep state,” Jonah Goldberg provides the right-wing delusional view of the deep state after which states it doesn’t exist.
However there’s a deep state, and it’s alive and nicely.
It consists of the roughly 3 million women and men who both work for the federal authorities or serve within the navy. The one factor all of them share is an oath of workplace that features a pledge to “shield and defend the Structure towards all enemies, overseas and home.”
In its preamble, the Structure could be very specific about who it serves: “we the individuals.”
The federal government and all of its features, departments and businesses belong to we the individuals. The workers of all of these departments work for the good thing about we the individuals. They don’t serve a celebration or individual; they serve we the individuals.
Each company has a company chart, a series of command, which the workers observe solely as far as orders are in step with the Structure and established legislation.
An election selects the chief govt and the board of administrators — the president and members of Congress. However these elected officers don’t personal the federal government; we the individuals retain full possession. An election isn’t a hostile takeover with new possession.
