We’ve written about the U.S. government’s unelected “Deep State” – the “shadow government” of financial/military/industrial players like the C.I.A., Wall Street banksters, the arms industry, the Pentagon, and beyond – since 2005. This term “Deep State,” first coined by spy novelist John LeCarre and researched by Peter Dale Scott, Peter Phillips, and other independent analysts, is now going mainstream in the Age of Trump (who is a visible and entertaining distraction, as all elected presidents are).

Listen in as Bill Moyers interview Mike Lofgren, whose new book on the “deep state” is a must-read, and RT interviews Pulitzer prize winning journalist Chris Hedges on Fascism, Neoliberalism, and the “Deep State.”

Free Vermont, and long live the UNtied States!
