It always seemed to me that this story you're repeating is one spread by the criminal elite (think Murdoch and friends) to the people they rule to convince them that their enemy is exactly the group working for fairness and human rights (namely people who have devoted their life to public service).

"Public service" is a heck of a euphemism. And when has the government ever cared a tinker's dam about anyone's rights? Unless the people force their governments to respect their rights, the government will publicly serve them into subjection.

What do you mean by "deep state"?

I've seen it used so casually and often that feel like that has become a meaningless phrase that amounts to "anything established in any way, anywhere, that I don't like and I wish to add a negative connotation to those things, people, or whatever I don't like".

There are too many code words in that post to take it seriously. What did he mean by "elite", etc.?

I see a lot of that these days, just a laundry list of code words, but they can't really explain anything...

They are not worried about the elections ..
