some interesting cases for me to add to my considerations

at this point, it doesn't matter to much to me how the Deep State is configured as much as it does that they interfere with my life (and i have an instinctual opposition to this kind of set up, I think)

one thing to think about is how the majority of people (the normies) think, b/c it is with their implied support that the Deep State operates, legal or not. Too many people live the good life and/or have their decision-making handled for them for active resistance.

I'll need to dig up the typology me & you worked out...
The Wisdom of @valued-customer: A classification system based on the political nature of humanity

So we're looking at H. domesticus as part of the problem.

I think that it falls to H. vigilus to set things straight, regardless of how much he is in the minority. There are a few problems with this (to address in a full post, I think) but the biggest would be to avoid the temptation to power and morphing into H. machiavellus

other thoughts:

• communism (leftism) is the best system for taking and holding power, which is why the banking cartels absorbed it and/or it's methods (in particular the New Left and the limosuine libs in America)
• #informationwar may not be the best response to the Deep State in a general manner, other than divorcing H. domesticus from H. vigilus
• The examples you use add to the "Central Bank" theory (war waged agianst countries because they don't play into the banking system, rather than war for oil)
• None of this takes me away from my "multiple kakistrocracies" model, but I can see these folk killing each other in what used to known as the "Great Game"
