Kash Patel is talking about a mafia kind of set-up … with its own special code of omertà …. And its tentacles reaching far and wide into the vitals of American administration and society.
“Deep State” for me is just newly invented nomenclature … sounds like Nixonian “deep throat”… I wish we all just stayed with the good old nomenclature of Mafia … which is calling a spade what it is … a dirty shovel .
In the UP State here in India , Yogi Adityanath is trying to dismantle the mafia warlords . In some other states we know how the mafia operates collectively and unobtrusively — there is the sand mafia, the liquor mafia , the educational institutions mafia , the lottery-business mafia , the real-estate business mafia and the police mafia . …. All these combined are really the Deep State of Indian states … they are what is the other name Kash Patel gives them in America : “government gangsters” …
You know how I see it is like this : if Law were to be enforced as it should be I.e. iron law and both here in India as well as in America … all these gangs would be treated simply as criminals …. Period.
Giving them new fancy names such as “Deep State” to my mind only serves to somehow give them all far more power than they ought to be allowed to wield … What’s in a name indeed, yes, but then sometimes a name itself becomes a formidable source of power especially when those who are wielding it can remain anonymous behind it. It gives them the power to blend invisibly into the landscape … Nobody then can tell the difference between them and the landscape they have have quietly taken over.
The name itself gives them all a sort of aura of not only invincibility but also legitimacy … People are then led to believe that the Deep State is too big to bring to book because it is far too big to fail .
So, in my book, let’s just call them criminals … mafiosi… and go after them.
Yes, we truly need more Yogis, Modis and Amit Shahs in India to go after them and dismantle these government mafiadoms.
Let’s wait and see if Kash Patel in America as the new FBI honcho can succeed to do a Yogi-act more successfully than Yogi himself has been so far in UP. May the Force be with Kash!
