The Deep State & The Reengineering of America, Part I with Harry Blazer

This week Harry Blazer joins me to discuss the “Deep State.” This is the first conversation on this critical topic, with more to follow.

The Deep State has received a lot of coverage over the last few years. Unfortunately, it is difficult to navigate through the misinformation and disinformation – much of which is intentional.

I asked Harry to join me to define the Deep State and how it operates. In the first episode of this series, we focus on the time period from the passage of the National Security Act and the creation of the CIA until the end of the Eisenhower administration. We rely as our primary source on the books and interviews of L. Fletcher Prouty – a former Air Force colonel and insider who, more than than anyone else, has shed light on Establishment mechanisms and structures that have enabled the contemporary Deep State.

The primary forces that shape our world are covert. Those forces have grown considerably since the late 1940s when the national security state was formally created and given unimpeded access to a powerful US federal budget and credit mechanisms. Using the global reserve currency and securities markets, the national security state has married US sovereign cash flows and credit with the high-margin flows of organized crime, insider transactions and trading, and war. The result is a global economy and culture defined by violence, intrigue and secrecy.

This discussion is the first in a series that is designed to demonstrate that the Deep State exists and is a profound influence on every aspect of our lives. As always, we believe that by shining light and promoting transparency, we can help our subscribers and others navigate the head winds and live a free and inspired life.
