Over the past few years, the term Deep State has been broadly used by many people – but what does it really mean?
The tentacles of shadowed power players became heavily apparent in 2016 when then-Republican candidate Donald Trump was running for president, as every level of government and media seemingly mobilized against him at one time, propagating the false narratives behind the “Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax” and beyond.
In 2020, the nation was exposed to far worse. Between the Covid pandemic, disastrous election processes in multiple major counties nationwide, and the now-scandalous farce of 51 intelligence officers making false statements about Hunter Biden’s laptop, it became glaringly obvious that something was – and is – wrong with America.
In the days since, the term Deep State is something that has come to define the powers-that-be who control the inner-workings of government and the justice system – the establishment, the elites, the globalists, the aristocracy of Washington, D.C. Whoever and whatever they are, one thing is clear: they are powerful, and they are hellbent on destroying the United States from within.
“The Deep State stands upon the shoulders of dirty counties,” Colonel Retired John Mills told Write Revolution News.
Mills’ decades of experience in the U.S. Army and Army Reserves, coupled with his former position as the director for Cybersecurity, Policy, Strategy, and International Affairs in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, gives him unique insight into the landscape of American power and politics.
Mills was also a senior liaison between the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense – and he’s an acclaimed author whose pointed insights have earned him contributing roles on networks like Newsmax, Real America’s Voice, The Epoch Times, and many more.
He told Write Revolution News that the real power within the United States really comes down to just a handful of counties that tip the national elections.
“We’ve got about 30 dirty counties out of the 3,300 that throw the vote,” he said.
Why is this important when it comes to discussing the Deep State? Because their power comes from a ground floor that has been completely captured. But this isn’t something that happened overnight.
Identifying key players of the Deep State
In his book, The Nation Will Follow: Firsthand Experiences Fighting the Deep State and the Action Plan for the American Citizen, Mills outed the communists lurking within the U.S. government and discussed the steely forces aligned domestically attempting to destroy our constitutional republic.
His follow-up book, War Against the Deep State, takes the discussion even further, meticulously defining the branches of unlawful government agencies and explaining what Americans can do to combat this entrenched system.
“There are several ways to define the Deep State,” he said.
Mills split the Deep State into three major categories: bureaucrats, technocrats, and plutocrats.
Bureaucrats, he explained, are the people who work for the government, including non-profits. Technocrats are “the super experts that nobody questions – if something comes out of their mouth, it is gospel; these are the Tony Faucis, the highest-paid civil servants.” Lastly, there are the plutocrats – those who have extreme wealth and are not afraid to use it. He named Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos as examples.
These are the categories of individuals who play the Deep State game, but Mills expanded his definition by looking at what governmental tools these elitists use to control the levers of power in America.
“I think there are four corners to the box,” he said.
He described these corners as big, out-of-control government, Big Tech, Big Academia, and Big Pharma – which could be combined, he said, with Big Finance.
“But then, we’ve seen a rise in the unlawful fourth, fifth, and sixth branches of government,” he explained.
The unlawful branches of government and non-profits
He described the fourth branch as the “Administrative State,” which traces back, he said, to the 1946 Administrative Procedures Act. “That’s how you transform a law into regulations,” he said.
Mills defined the fifth branch as the “unlawful and deadly marriage between Big Tech and federal law enforcement and federal intelligence,” which many Americans have seen with their own eyes.
“This is specifically where I was involved, [with] the creation of the modern mass surveillance system…we created it for lawful reasons and we followed the process but… I left the program in 2014 and it really became perverted and out of control,” he said.
A final but powerful unlawful branch described by Mills is the non-profits who funnel money into the causes and campaigns of Deep State operations and candidates.
Mills highlighted Joe Biden’s “Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement,” which operated within the University of Pennsylvania. Biden’s organization has since garnered tremendous suspicion after reports arose that the think tank potentially accepted millions in donations from alleged anonymous Chinese donors.
Mills said the Penn Biden Center was “weaponized to create the 51 intelligence officers scam.” He also said he has never been successfully able to track down an IRS non-profit form 990 for the organization, which he strongly alleged was a key component of orchestrating “the greatest election interference operation in history.”
Presumably, powerful non-profits that receive funding from mega-donors like George Soros, Arabella Advisors (a monstrously huge left-wing political consulting company), or even China itself can take such funds and pour them into county-level elections and processes to steer them in the direction they want.
Mills offered an example of what he described as this type of “money laundering” by sharing an article written by the New York Post, reporting that World Bank bureaucrats “lost track” of at least $24 billion meant for “climate financing.”
While the World Bank itself is not a non-profit, it receives donations from around the world for global projects supposedly aimed at the betterment of humanity. How did so much money simply disappear?
Another example? Americans may recall the extremely dubious involvement of Mark Zuckerberg’s Center for Tech and Civic Life, a non-profit that gave millions to local election processes in the great state of Wisconsin in 2020.
Zuckerberg and his wife donated a whopping $350 million to the non-profit, which disbursed grants to help local election offices in 2020. In fact, according to NPR, they gave grants to over 2,500 U.S. jurisdictions during the election year to “help departments pay for election administration” and help them hire election workers and “printing for the increasing number of voters who wanted to vote by mail.”
Following an extensive investigation and report from Wisconsin Special Counsel Michael Gableman in the aftermath of 2020 (Gableman described the funding as “election bribery“), Wisconsin voters have since overwhelmingly voted to ban outside donations to the state’s election processes.
Regardless of politics, Mills makes an excellent point: non-profits in America have tremendous power but seemingly little to no transparency on how their funding is truly used.
“I love non-profits, but we have to have far greater oversight and accountability – they’re running circles around us, they’re money laundering right in front of us and we don’t even know what to look for,” Mills said.
