The Deep State is the term given to the members of the seventeen U.S. spy agencies; the classified sectors of the Department of Defense branches; and the hundreds of associated military contractors. In short, it’s the modern term for the Military-Industrial-Complex in our post-industrial era. The Deep State is not a conspiracy theory as some disinformation outlets state, in fact, that doesn’t even make sense. Saying the Deep State is a conspiracy theory is like saying agencies such as the CIA or NSA are conspiracy theories. While some would argue that deeds attributed to various Deep State agencies are conspiracies theories - and often times conspiracy realities – the term itself is not a conspiracy theory, and it is widely used by respected journalists and academic researchers.
