I find it hard to say, but I actually think the FBI, the military complex and most of the intelligence apparatus are more corrupt than Demoncrap Politicians.

I have to agree. The past few years have been instructive, red-pill fashion. The intel angle is especially scary. Only one guy, the NSA director (Admiral Rodgers) had the balls and the integrity to warn Trump. He should get a statue. These bastards are running a real number on the population of the US. They control the media too.

These agencies are good at hiring those in the "club." However, where they shine is in their promotions. If you don't carry water for the corrupt above you, no future in it for you. This is a very serious reinforcing cycle to hire and keep the corrupt.

I know what you mean. I saw some of this in the military. "Mafias". Most are not evil, but they are certainly careerist. Lots of patronage going on.

A ton of the private sector runs the same way. The revolving door is becoming more blatant in every industry that even touches government contracts or is supposedly regulated by the government,

I live nowhere near the capital but before COVID, I remember thinking how crazy light traffic would be on every federal or state government holiday. It always reminded me of how we all have been sucked into dependency on government spending. It’s like WW2 pulled us out of the Great Depression and our politicians keep using the same playbook to keep the entire western world running.

Look at rural “red” America and note just how many towns and counties have the public school district as the largest employer. Next up are the Medicare and Medicaid dependent medical providers.

In rural Western counties, the largest buildings and employers are most often the state and federal agencies.

Most of the land in Western states is federally owned.

Academia does the same. Your promotions are at the mercy of your colleagues.

They are all communists. We were infiltrated decades ago, and now all they do is attack the people who love America (Patriots), and cover-up or just ignore treasonous/seditious activities done by their masters (democrats).

This is the truth.

And Obama just put it into “fundamental transformation” overdrive.

That no one has been called to account for visiting Epstein island and boinking underage sex slaves is yet another mark against them.

Of course they are. The IC is a massive crowd of people, with no term limits and the opportunity for top performers to shape policy over decades.
