Did United States Deep State Allow Trump to Win? by Paul Craig Roberts

This question raised by Mike Whitney and others has caught the attention of the astute Russian journalist Ekaterina Blinova: "please see here:"

Blinova understands that the American Deep State, if its members believe Trumps statements, have good reasons to regard Trump as an existential threat. Why, then, with the mechanisms in place to steal the 2024 election did the Deep State permit Trump to win?

What I find alarming is the Deep States evident confidence that Trump is more valuable to them in office than out. Once the members of the Deep State got over their hysteria, they set about aligning their agendas with Trumps platform of making America great again.

Trumps emphasis on oil and gas production fits. It can be turned to profits and continued hegemony over oil, thus protecting the United States dollar.

Trumps boisterous approach to adversaries fits. It can be turned to war and profits for the military-security complex.

Trumps deportation of illegals can be blocked with law suits until the end of his four year term.

Dangerous appointees such as RFK Jr. and Elon Musk can be sidelined in advisory positions without executive authority where they can do no damage.

The British Prime Minister and French President can prevail, with the help of the Biden regimes neoconservatives, on Biden to "take the handcuffs off," as Trumps national security adviser wants to do, the use of the long-range missiles provided to Ukraine. This is already in the works and would make ending the Ukraine conflict difficult. Instead of peace, Trump would enter the White House as War President.

Any dangerous appointment can be blocked by the Senates non-confirmation, with lobbyists holding money over the heads of Senators. Does the money go to you or to your opponent in the next election? Trump controls the Republican voters, but the Deep State controls most of the Republican and Democrat members of the House and Senate.

Voters can elect, but after that it is out of their hands.
