the deep state

My Facebook-like quote for today:

Upton Sinclair:  “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

I pulled that one out of the article linked below, “Anatomy of the Deep State.”

Deep State is something I have been aware of for a long time.  We live in a world of illusion and obfuscation of everything, then people build arguments and make decisions based upon this illusion, then it turns into…common knowledge and messed-up thinking, to put it lightly.

So, anyway, Anatomy of the Deep State by Mike Lofgren.  Don’t read it.  It’s very long.
