Cultural Marxism in America: D3EP STATE (Segment 13)

In this segment of "America Under Fire — The Old Guy Speaks," we delve into the concept of the "Deep State," exploring how unelected bureaucrats within the government wield significant power, often in ways that undermine the public interest. The segment begins by acknowledging the wisdom of the Founding Fathers in creating a government structure with built-in checks and balances across the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. However, the discussion highlights how the erosion of public knowledge and moral principles, particularly due to the influence of Marxist elements in education, has weakened these safeguards.

The "Deep State" refers to those entrenched bureaucrats within the legislative and executive branches who, despite not being elected, have a significant impact on how laws are written and enforced. The complexity of the regulatory framework, often shaped by these bureaucrats, can lead to policies that deviate from the original intent of Congress, skewing toward special interests and weakening the nation. The segment also touches on the influence of lobbyists, who exploit this system to their advantage, further entrenching the power of the Deep State. The concept of "draining the swamp" is discussed as the need to remove these entrenched forces that work against the public interest, with a closing note from Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute that even Presidential cabinet members can be relegated to figurehead status.
