DISINFO: The Deep State is currently more powerful than ever

SUMMARY

The US Deep State started to form around the time of Kennedy’s assassination and Nixon’s impeachment. In both cases, the UK special services were involved. Later on, the 11 September attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic became new turning points in strengthening the Deep State. Lately, the Deep State has become a more organised and systemic power. Given that the capitalist system is in the final stage of a systemic crisis, the Deep State is a prototype of the real power in the post-capitalist world.

RESPONSE

This is a big conspiracy about the Deep State, which is allegedly a permanent, unelected shadow government responsible for various historical events, including the assassination of US President John. F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963. While usually the ‘Deep State’ in the US is an object of conspiracy theories, in this case, the UK is the primary target. Pro-Kremlin media have previously accused the US élite and Israel of assassinating John Kennedy.

There have been a lot of conspiracy theories regarding the so-called Deep State, which have been debunked previously, and there is no proof to back up these claims. This narrative aims to question the legitimacy of democracy and Western institutions. Read our past analyses about the portrayal of global elites as secretly ruling the world and why authoritarians love the concept of the big conspiracy.

Furthermore, the ‘Deep State’ conspiracy goes along with denigration of the West and capitalism. Analysts and researchers have pointed out that anti-Western conspiracy theories about all-powerful secret elites are a political tool used by the Kremlin to strengthen the domestic stability of the current regime and expand its influence abroad by emphasising Russia’s moral superiority

Read earlier disinformation cases alleging that the Deep State could make another assassination attempt on Trump, that London-based headquarters organise colour revolutions in Belarus, Myanmar, Russia, and the US, that King Charles III is a loyal servant of the globalists follows US Deep State orders, and that post-modern capitalist societies turned people into slaves.
