Episode 71: The Deep State Construct (EDS Part 10)
🕑 Added 2022-09-10 14:35:29 +0000 UTCWe discuss trace the development of parapolitics, deep politics, and the deep state in this penultimate episode on the social science of imperial criminality.
This is Part 10 of our Empire and the Deep State series--an in-depth exploration on my new book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State. I am again joined by series co-host Ben Norton of Multipolarista as well as our own Seamus McGuinness who is producing the series.
Special thanks to Casey Moore for the episode art and Dana Chavarria for the sound engineering!

I will never understand the desire of American leftists to do their happy dance over the death of Her Majesty, either. Will we see the same on the passing of Akihito or Queen Beatrix? Itβs not like these were your monarchs. Itβs all such performative nonsense by foreigners, whether to mourn or to dance.

Right- but I don't think its a "cross-over". Its one and the same.

Just finished your book which was excellent cheers. Have you read CIA as organised crime? Think that author's analysis of the Phoenix program and its follow on in the war of terror offer another great example of the cross over with criminality and the shadow government.

Oops, I meant bro, not beau. π

Seamus should be careful when speaking about how covid was politicized. This is the very thing that got Ben's panties all twisted up and led to the painful break up with his former beau Max Blumenthal.

Yes, the videos will be up eventually. I actually made a PPT for these last two deep state theory episodes.

What's with the slide references? This going up on Ben's channel? Great stuff. Still not quite at a level for assignments to undergraduates. ;-)

The triumph of the elites after WWII really does appear to be the ultimate Sullan victory

Many thanks! That was basically my goal in getting the degree and writing the dissertation and book. We have to use history and social science to illuminate the covert empire. All the institutional incentives exist to get people to do exactly the opposite. Thus, it falls to anti-establishment types to righteously falsify mainstream history, social science, and journalism...

I just finished your book last night. I highly recommend it. If there's one book people ought to read to understand what's going on this is it.

Ha, well, thanks! I like audiobooks too. They should offer some sort of package deal for people. The Wilson story is crazy. He was villainous, but it's surprising what happened to him. He had to have known some explosive secrets which one would think would get him killed rather than having him framed and sent to prison. Go figure.

I live in Australia so I preordered the physical copy, it's supposed to come at the end of the month, but I didn't want to wait that long so I grabbed it on audible as well
