>So is the United States seeing the rise of its own deep state?
>Not quite, experts say, but the echoes are real — and disturbing.
I don't agree with the NYT here. 8 years ago I'd think the below linked juxtaposition of American leaders was a bit paranoid. Today I think it's more important than ever. Eisenhower warned us of the Deep State. Truman warned us of it. JFK warned us of it, said he was going to destroy it, and was assassinated.
Obama told us not to worry: https://files.catbox.moe/sa27od.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/sa27od.jpg
