Deep state theory assumes that our nominal leaders, with all their obvious flaws (like senility), are actually puppets whose strings are pulled by massively funded shadowy but near-omnipotent institutions like the Intel Community intelligence, who routinely mount a brilliant bench triple shot. psy-ops to manipulate the public.
Similar theories point, instead, to the World Economic Forum, Bilderberg, the Jews and the lizards.
I tend to be skeptical of this kind of thinking because it seems too respectful of how influence is actually exerted. I think the real world is less like a Tom Clancy novel in which the deep state is very well-informed and hyper-rational, and more like a Armando Iannucci Sitcom in which staff members maneuver against each other to manipulate their boss on big questions of state and, more importantly, which of them has the best parking space. Meanwhile, the boss tends to be an egomaniac easily influenced by the family and the most Machiavellian of the aids currently in favor.
As far as I can remember, however, few, whether conspirators or realists, have so far theorized that the Biden administration's “Rasputin” is a… gay mexican
I, for one, did not have my money because Biden was controlled by a Mexican Gay Cabal.

WASHINGTON – President Biden's inner circle has shrunk after his disastrous debate last week, with his wife's top aide, Anthony Bernal, emerging as one of the 81-year-old's key advisers along with confidant Mike Donilon, four sources near or inside the White House. to say the mail.
Bernal, 51, is a divisive figure for alleged stalking and sexual harassment [male] colleagues, and his influence was compared by three sources to that of the mystic Grigori Rasputin over the family and court of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia.
First lady Jill Biden considers Bernal her “work husband” and is also close to scandal-plagued first son Hunter, whom Bernal greeted with a hug on June 11 after his conviction for weapon crime.
the “openly gayBernal is a former student of this elite finishing school of the Interior Party, the University of Texas at El Paso.
“Donilon and Bernal are 100 percent the top advisers after the debate,” said a Democratic source close to the administration.
… A White House source told The Post that many of the president's old guard of longtime aides are believed to be left out of the cycle of discussions “about what's to come,” said Bernal, who is often on vacation with the first family, “really” has a Rasputin roll on the first family.
Another source said they agreed with Rasputin's analogy, describing Bernal's influence and immunity from consequences for alleged personal misconduct as perplexing to fellow aides.
“It's like a tick that just stuck around for the last 15 years,” said this source.
“Precise and punctual,” a third source said of the comparison with Rasputin, who was assassinated in December 1916 by rivals who believed he was contributing to poor decision-making in the months leading up to the outbreak of the Russian Revolution , in which the royal family was finally overthrown and killed.
“Everyone has been keeping their heads down on Bernal and trying to avoid him at all costs,” the third source said. “But everyone always predicted that this movie would end badly because of how it treats the fellows and it always poisons the well for anyone else with the Bidens.
“He'll go down with the boat, but he's also the one behind the wheel.”
One veteran Democratic aide went so far as to say that “the country would be better off with Trump” than Biden if Bernal helped run the government.
