Deep Dive: How the Deep State Subverts the Constitution, and How to Beat It

“The purpose of a stay-behind force is plainly stated in the name: pre-designated operatives who plan to hide, survive, and eventually operate in the rear area of an advancing enemy. Stay-behind forces can slow advances, buy time, impose costs, create confusion, and psychologically demoralize an invading enemy.“

In the world of special operations and intelligence, a conflict does not end simply because your adversary has overrun a particular area. You continue the fight in other ways. You go underground. You dig in. You work clandestinely and prevent your enemy from consolidating his hold on the area he has occupied. Ultimately, he will be forced out, and you will prevail.

The operatives of the Deep State understand this principle very well. They dug in during the first Trump Presidency and ultimately drove the President from office. They are following the same playbook this time around.

Trump has put in place his trusted lieutenants in key government agencies. In most cases, however, his appointees remain surrounded by the same senior individuals who were in place under Joe Biden. That doesn’t just mean they are identified with failed policies or another political party. In many cases, it means they were part and parcel of an unprecedented effort to subvert the Constitution and undermine the rule of law.
