Talking about the deep state and things like that, which is a thread among conspiracy communities here in the United States that there is a (((secret cabal))) here in Washington working to undermine the American people, it couldn't be farther from the truth, as a member of the tribe of people best known for running secret cabals to undermine nations.
Then why do we have security clearances?
Of course it's not a cabal. The Deep State comprises hundreds of groups and many thousands of individuals.
