Introducing Are We Being Ruled By A Shadow Government? | Shane Smith Has Questions from Shane Smith Has Questions.
Follow the show: Shane Smith Has Questions
Shane Smith and author Peter Dale Scott, who popularized the term the Deep State four decades ago, on how it combines government agencies, the military, and organized crime. Scott discusses everything from recent Trump assassination attempts to historical deep events like the Bay of Pigs, the CIA and Mafia attempting to assassinate Fidel Castro, the Kennedy assassination, and Watergate. They get into the CIA’s involvement in the d**g trade, from Burma to Afghanistan, and its links to American cities during the Vietnam War. They get into how continuity of government plans, originally developed during the Cold War, were implemented on 9/11 and how that contributed to the creation of post-9/11 policies like the Patriot Act. They cover how Oligarchs in the Ukraine could be manipulating events to maintain financial control, especially regarding the ongoing conflict with Russia, and how economic interests are at play in both the war and U.S. political dynamics. And it’s funny!

0:54.7 | What is the deep state? |
0:56.9 | The deep state is a combination of intelligence, |
1:02.4 | CIA, NSA, Alumni Security, FBI, working together with the |
1:09.7 | military, together with top industrialas to sort of decide what is being done in the real world. |
1:17.0 | And by the way, the government does conspire against our best interests. |
1:20.0 | We know that. There's Iran contract, there's Watergate, there's the misinformation about Iraq that gets us into this major war. |
1:26.8 | Now these experts warned us that they felt more attempts could be coming. |
1:31.1 | What would I do if I was a potential want to be assassin? I'd be emboldened by this. |
