JUNE 28, 2024 JULY 4TH The Deep State Is Trump targeted by the Deep State or is he part of it? The chain of command gets complex at the higher levels and none of them want to be identified. President Bush Jr. declared himself to be the Decider. We now know he was a spokesperson of Project for a New American Century (PNAC). It is at this level where we find the Deep State. As the Soviet Union imploded, the PNAC came out as the spokesperson for the sole super power.This is a subject of deep doo doo, the filthy lucre which is the flip side of lucrative. If you go to the top of the chain of command there are the central planners that plan what Bill Clinton called “market democracy” and the management of financial flows through Wall Street. They believe the world is their oyster. FOIA (Freedom of Information Act, which allows citizens to request documents from the government), does not apply to everything and releases are so redacted they are meaningless. There was a lawsuit in Detroit in the 1970s to release the Red Squad files which included surveillance of all peace and justice events. My mother got hers. There was a lot of black ink over the print. They did show that she attended events that I helped organize. You would never see the names of those spying on you. They were seen copying the license plates of all the cars in the parking lot.The Detroit Red Squad was part of Cointelpro, a cross-agency counter intelligence task force organized to infiltrate and destroy resistance from the working class and oppressed minorities with a focus on the Black Panther Party, the American Indian Movement and the Brown Berets. The ruling class has many resources to dominate the narrative you hear. I did not apply to get a copy of my file after I saw it would be mostly black ink. The Chicago police branch of Cointelpro shot Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in his bed and called a press conference to claim that the Panthers shot first. Chicago local media told the truth, the national media did not at the time. Europeans came to Turtle Island, now known as North America, and brought a supremacism based on the nation state and the Age of Enlightenment, which gave birth to capitalism and the first scientific revolution with Galileo, Copernicus and Isaac Newton in the forefront. I searched “leading thinkers” and Google popped up with “of the enlightenment” before I touched the next key. It is a thesis waiting to happen, a big turning point in history which is now KEN PARKS Groundcover vendor No. 490 meeting and plans for the New World Order. The unity of Turtles and Teamsters, environment and labor, was such a threat that the Seattle police riot rivaled the Chicago police riot at the Democratic convention of 1968. The media blamed protestors as the cause of violence in the ongoing culture of “blame the victim.” This wave of activism died after 9/11 and the War on Terror. Endless war is wearing us out and the amazing show of solidarity with giving birth to the next age of awareness. Einstein, Niels Bohr, Heisenberg and Szilard began to deepen our understanding of science from the machine model to a more open reality, and they did the preliminary work which led to the Manhattan project. Please watch “Oppemheimer” to experience the strange story of the atomic bomb and the nuclear era. Awareness of a bigger reality than the machine model takes root. Neuroscience, quantum mechanics and mindfulness are coming together in the seamless interrelatedness that promotes a more complete understanding and experience of life and death. East meets west and Buddhist teachers in the west are in the vanguard promoting mindful awareness. Globalization is growing beyond the commodity fetish of neoliberal financialization. The 1990s saw a huge wave of Globalize Liberation. The Zapatista movement came out as the North American Free Trade Agreemant (NAFTA) went into effect. Subcomandante Marcos was prominent on the world stage as a liberation leader who made good sense. The Zapatistas were a big influence on Occupy Wall Street and the global movement against the World Trade Organization (WTO). There was an international conference in Cuba that numbered in the thousands. I remember Canadian activists who had shut down Ottawa and called for more direct action. We were in an assembly hall with a microphone at every seat and headphones to choose your preferred language. Translations and sound were excellent. I raised my hand and got to speak after the Canadians. I applauded the many kinds of direct action and made the case for a general strike as the kind of direct action that would be most effective. Even a general strike would be a step towards organizing our power to be self-governing. The 1990s ended with the Battle of Seattle where many thousands protested the World Trade Organization Palestine is a sign that people do not want to be organized around the war machine. You are welcome to the peace vigil every Friday, 5:30pm at Liberty and Fifth Ave. I hope some of us go to Washington D.C. on July 24th to protest Netanyahu’s invitation to speak to Congress. I will work on follow-up details in a July Groundcover. It is time to focus on what we want more than what we don’t want. Coalition building with the goal of a United Front for the Salvation of America (UFSA). Precious human birth and the reality of impermanence motivates growing numbers of people to dig into our essential nature. We are social beings and individuals. To bring that reality to creative fruition is the challenge of our day. When we learn that political economy is the context of our daily life, we face the gods of capitalism who consider themselves to be eternal and omnipotent. Wealth accumulation is the god to whom most of us submit when we realize that poverty is a death sentence which takes skill and work to avoid. Grassroots work may mean living under the concrete of the commodified world as you search for a crack which allows a few photons to enter the darkness and grow sprouts. Take heart from dandelions! The masters of wealth accumulation use their wealth to organize the masters of violence to be their favored servants. This alliance gives new meaning to our ancestors' understanding of the powers behind the throne. Voila, we have the Deep State. Who is at the top of the chain of command? The Bible has a verse which is relevant here, Corinthians 6:12, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” That was written during the Roman empire.
