You get it that the internet spying is a sub set of the greater intell community, right?  And you get it that the deep state existed before the internet, before computers, right.  So does it make sense to you then that if you wipe out anything that came after they did then you just take them back tot he point they were at when that tool came into use.  So then it follows that the Keystone, that which actually brings them down has to be as original to their existence as we can get.  Way back when they first began to climb above the everyday existence they did so through intell ( information) and force (goons/armies etc).  The international intell community now serves that role in their power structure.  If you take that out you take them back to their initial stage.    I get it that you all think you had it all figured out.  I thought I had it before Q posted too.  I thought it was the CIA but again that is a sub set of the greater intell community.  I was thiking local and needed to think global.
