One Deep State is bad enough, but a renegade, predatory private-sector Deep State is intolerable.
In 2007, well before the term Deep State entered the common lexicon, I sketched the interconnected public-private pieces of the Deep State, which I termed the elite maintaining and extending global dominance. This diagram doesn’t make all the connections or list all the consequential nodes of influence of course, but you get the idea: elected officials, i.e. “democracy,” play a modest role in the entire structure, which displays remarkable continuity regardless of which politicians and parties are currently in power.
That’s the whole idea, of course: continuity that can’t be disrupted by an election.
What’s changed is the emergence of a private-sector Deep State–a.k.a. Big Tech–that has established unprecedented power outside the control of elected officials even as it continues to play ball with the traditional public-sector dominated Deep State of the alphabet federal agencies and informal public-private sector ties.
This private-sector Deep State is free to pursue its own agenda of information-gathering and selling, surveillance, influence and profit-maximizing monopolies while seeming to serve the traditional Deep State as information-collecting and censorship services.
What makes Big Tech a private-sector Deep State is that nobody outside the corporations knows precisely what’s in their databases and algorithms or the extent of their capabilities. Sure, they share information with the traditional Deep State players, and censor whomever it’s “suggested” they censor / shadow-ban, but that transfer isn’t 100% of what Big Tech has in hand. All that transfer is just enough to appear to be playing ball so Big Tech can “suggest” OK, we’ve done our part, now leave us alone.
The problem with both Deep States is there is no recourse within the system for those censored / shadow-banned, those being tracked, those whose data is being siphoned off and sold to whomever offers a hefty sum of cash, and so on. The basic idea of the US Constitution is that every citizen has some recourse via the judicial or political systems should the state (government) or private entities overstep the boundaries established by the Constitution.
Citizens have no recourse against the predations of Big Tech or the traditional Deep State....

There is one thing we can do about this; walk with Jesus through the valley of the shadow of death...
If evil has permeated all aspects of the world stage, recourse is for God loving folks to put on their full armor of Christ daily! The real evil being, here on Earth it sounds like more souls are unhappy while doing Satan's bidding, and we have to hear about it! Wait till they join Satan after their stunt on Earth, "Yikes"! Pray for them to repent now!
Not all is lost, there are still plenty of good souls among us! So, reset the whole system separately, and without involving those players that affected society adversely, why not? Sewers need cleaned out periodically, right? Balance the beams! Deep State, Tech State, and the separate "People's State"; Circumvent that which no longer serves us, God has a plan!
Satan wants souls to believe there is no hope, God says otherwise! IMO, Technology is the "Psychological Operations" that feeds said evil, keeps evil alive in these times; if one allows it that is.
So, eat an elephant one bite at a time and wean from the blah, blah, blah, then manage evil from there, next know we already won the battle since Christ died for our sins!
