Origins of the Deep State

The origins of what we now call the “deep state” stretch back to the end of World War II. After Hitler’s fall and the Holocaust, Allen Dulles helped round up former Nazis for his purposes. Instead of disbanding, the OSS transformed into the CIA, which became a powerful parallel government few presidents dared to challenge. Through Operation Paperclip, Nazi scientists and intelligence officers were granted immunity and had their backgrounds wiped clean. The Gehlen Organization, made up of former Nazi spies, was absorbed into Western intelligence under the guise of fighting communism—embedding those networks deep into the postwar order.

The CIA’s reach extended everywhere. It triggered upheavals in South America, ran covert drug operations tied to Los Angeles, and crushed journalists like Gary Webb who tried to expose it. It backed regime changes worldwide and conducted unethical experiments on children and civilians at home. The agency infiltrated media organizations to shape narratives, as seen during the Vietnam War. Figures like JFK, who threatened to dismantle it, and others who crossed it, paid the price. Later, Bill Casey reportedly warned Clinton not to challenge its influence.

Over time, the same globalist networks spread through Europe and the Middle East. After World War II, the Nazi-linked Mufti fled to the Arab world, spreading antisemitic propaganda. Ratlines smuggled Nazis into Egypt and Syria, where they connected with and influenced groups like the Muslim Brotherhood—an ideological ancestor of Hamas. The Palestinian cause, seeded by Soviet propaganda, became a new front for the same anti-Western, anti-Israel ideology disguised as liberation. While the CIA played both sides to maintain control, leaders like Trump and others have worked to remove these intermediaries and restore true self-determination to nations.

In Ukraine, the conflict can also be traced back to the same postwar apparatus. NATO—born with help from aligned Nazi and intelligence remnants—became the instrument of a broader globalist agenda, pushing confrontations like the current war. All of this connects back to the recurring theme: entrenched intelligence power structures manipulating nations for decades under the banner of security, but serving an unbroken, shadowy ideology instead.
