It was a privilege to serve as Deputy Communications Director for Republican Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. One door closes, another opens. I look forward to strengthening the great team already here at the South Shore Press.
One of the questions Vivek and yours truly consistently got from skeptical reporters surrounded the so-called “deep state” that many on the right side of the ideological spectrum point to as the source of political malfeasance to stop Donald J. Trump from becoming President again.
We always answered along the lines of “it’s not one person, it’s not one entity, it’s not one group, it’s a hodge podge consortium of left leaning entities meant to stop conservatives and promote a left leaning agenda.”
The deep state was always described as some non-identifiable, massive entity that could not be specifically named.
Until now.
It is real. It exists. It is dark, sinister, and alive and well in the 2024 election cycle.
Investigative journalist Matt Taibbi wrote a phenomenal story this past week on the “deep state” that appeared in Racket News with a headline of “Is the Electoral Fix Already In?”
Taibbi’s expose of the deep state ran two weeks after NBC News published a story on January 14th with an ominous headline: “Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House.”
In a nutshell, the NBC News story laid out the deep state in decent detail. It is a combination of college professors, public interest groups, elected officials, and even the military, all working together to lay out specific plans to stop Donald Trump from taking office again, even if he wins fair and square.
The Transition Integrity Project, commonly called TIP, was founded in 2019 by Georgetown Professor and former Pentagon official Rosa Brooks. It is alive and well in 2024, and has scary plans in place if President Trump is victorious in November.
The scenarios Taibbi laid out in his Racket News investigative piece:
President Biden refusing to acknowledge a Trump victory in 2024
Having California, Oregon, and Washington secede from the United States and break off into a left wing utopia
States with Democratic governors in Wisconsin and Michigan sending anti-Trump electors to cast ballots in the Electoral College, regardless of the Election Day outcome.
Secure statehood for Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, then divide California into five separate states to dilute then totally dissolve the Electoral College.
Start a “color revolution” in America similar to mass protests found in European nations like Ukraine, to stop President Trump from taking office even if he wins at the ballot box.
Yes, our Founding Fathers placed checks and balances in place that should prevent bad actors like TIP from overthrowing the government and allowing free and fair elections from selecting an independently elected president every four years.
Clearly, left leaning ideologues bend the law and the spirit of the Constitution to get around that. It’s happening right now. Look no further than Colorado and especially Maine, where in the Pine Tree State an unelected bureaucrat, one Democratic woman, ruled President Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6th and therefore is blocked from the ballot.
America is in the midst of a Constitutional crisis, whether you like Donald Trump or not. Some of us care and are fighting like hell to save the republic. Others on the other side of the spectrum are incapable or unwilling to protect it. They’re doing quite the opposite, undermining democracy to stop one man from taking office.
Keep in mind, a lot of these so-called leaders are so hyper focused on taking down President Trump they neglect solving our national problems, which are real and crushing Americans.
Every family would have to pay $101,000 each to pay down the $34 trillion national debt. There’s a free flow of fentanyl and bad actors crossing the wide open border every day. Crippling inflation forces Suffolk county families to pay more to put food on the table, pay down credit card debt, and fill the gas tank.
While America burns and families suffer, the deep state is in overdrive to overthrow the results of the 2024 election many months before the first ballot is cast.
Time for our country to wake up and realize the dark danger that the deep state exists. It’s called the Transition Integrity Project. They meddled in the media and public domain in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
Now they’re back at it four years later, ready to destroy our great nation because they don’t like Donald Trump. At least we know the enemy, we know its name, we know it exists, which is the first step in defeating their efforts this November.
Buckle up. The fight is on.
