Could the Deep State be sabotaging Hillary?
That’s the question The Daily Reckoning’s Charles Hugh Smith has been asking lately.
The Deep State being the “state within the state.” The combination of the military-industrial complex. The intelligence community. And Wall Street.
All pulling unseen strings above the stage, controlling the actors for the pleasure of the audience. The actors being of course the elected officials. The audience being the rest of us.
Smith and a lot of others have believed Hillary is the Deep State’s man. She’d have its ear… do its bidding… crook her knee in its direction.
Trump’s too loose a cannon for the Deep State’s liking. Too independent. Talks up Russia. Doesn’t know the rules, much less follow them.
Here’s what Charles wrote back in August:
“It’s widely accepted that the Deep State fully supports Hillary Clinton’s bid for the presidency and will move heaven and earth to get her elected.”
But Charles had second thoughts…
Maybe Hillary’s not the Deep State’s candidate after all. She could just end up making too much trouble. Her humanitarian-with-a-guillotine act could stumble the country into more useless wars, for example. And the Deep State may have had enough of those. Charles explains it:
“The forward-thinking elements of the Deep State are not averse to aggressive pursuit of what they perceive as American interests, but they are averse to quagmires and policies that preclude successful maintenance of the Imperial Project…”
