"In this strange world of covert overthrow of governments and clandestine armies and secret operations, the problem we’re facing is that you’re working with two realities.

You’re working with what we assume is the real way to function and move and then we’re working with a system of what we call power. Exchange of power, economic power, power over people, controlling their lives.

And in order to do that you disguise certain persons and send them into roles to influence. They become actors on a stage and they influence our minds in a way that is not real but affects a reality that will touch us later…" -(Mae Brussell,1971)

What happens when the “open” forces of democratic persuasion become like the exclusive and covert forces of violence and dominance? At some point there is no choice but for the “open” forces to become covert and violent as well.

"… between those two opposing attitudes to power – the open forces of democratic persuasion (the public state) versus the exclusive and covert forces of violence and dominance (the deep state), led to a series of structural deep events: … "

“Both books represented an alternative kind of history, or what I call deep history. Deep history differs from history in two respects. First, it is an account of suppressed events, at odds with the publicly accepted history of this country. (One might say that history is the record of politics; deep history, the record of deep politics.) Second, deep history is often restored from records which were themselves once repressed. In short, deep history is a reconstructed account of events denied by the public records from which history is normally composed.”

quoted from Peter Dale Scott’s - Dallas '63: The First Deep State Revolt Against The White House.

Where the private power; and/or the tip of the information pyramid - sides;
write the histories, and narratives; ALL the while, bulding the periodic infrastructures,

As if guided by a cosmic hidden hand, masquerading as reality.
