The theme of the May issue of WorldNetDaily’s sparsely read Whistleblower magazine was “Secrets of the Deep State,” and it is unsurprisingly filled with all the conspiracy theories you’ve come to expect with the term, as well as its purported threat to Donald Trump:
Consider the undeniable truth that not only Donald Trump, but also the tens of millions of decent, law-abiding, America-loving citizens who intend to vote for him this November, somehow inspire unending fear and loathing throughout the Washington, D.C. ruling class. That would include not only the ever-more-deranged Democratic Party and the entire “mainstream media” (today a virtual clone of the former Soviet Union’s fake news organs Pravda and Izvestia, which published only official government propaganda), but also the “Deep State,” the permanent federal government bureaucracy that remains – and grows ever larger, like “The Blob” in the classic horror film – regardless of which party is currently “in power.”
One key part of this gargantuan permanent bureaucracy, which operates largely in darkness, has recently been dragged into the light, exposing its hidden but central role in the censorship and silencing of all who oppose the Deep State and its increasingly totalitarian agenda. That highly influential entity, about which most people know very little, is the federal defense/foreign-policy establishment widely referred to within the Capital Beltway simply as … “The Blob.”
David Kupelian’s essay for the issue, published at WND on May 8, served up more of the same, hyping how “Former Trump State Department official Mike Benz, who currently serves as executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, has turned whistleblower and dramatically gone public with exactly how the Western defense and foreign policy establishment has been turned against America, the Bill of Rights and democracy itself.” Kupelian didn’t mention that Benz had recently been exposed as a creator of videos promoting racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories while posting under the name Frame Game.
Kupelian rehashed numerous debunked right-wing conspiracy, such as “the claim that supposedly subversive domestic groups and individuals were spreading “Russian disinformation,” which of course was a key focal point for the years-long near-destruction of Donald Trump’s presidency. As it turned out, of course, the claim that Trump ‘colluded with the Russians’ was not only definitively proven to be entirely false; it was created (and the damning ‘Trump dossier’ actually paid for) by the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, who actually did collude big-time with the Russians.” In fact, the Mueller report exposed that the 2016 Trump campaign met dozens of times with Russian operatives, its campaign manager shared internal polling data with another Russian operative, and Russia did, in fact, interfere in the campaign with the intent of helping Trump win.
Kupelian also complained that “parents who would stand up and speak their minds at school board meetings to complain about teachers indoctrinating their children with Marxist propaganda – could possibly be maligned by the Biden administration as “violent extremists” and possible “domestic terrorists.” In fact, no parent was ever targeted as a “violent extremist” merely for speaking at a school board meeting — but the ones who issued violent threats against teachers and school board members were. Kupelian appears to be cool with such violent threats. But facts don’t matter to Kupelian when he has a conspiratorial narrative to push:
How can that possibly be? How can good people ridiculously be likened to “domestic terrorists”? What’s really behind the official government obsession with targeting for censorship large swaths of political and cultural views they label “misinformation,” “disinformation” and an Orwellian term that never before existed – “malinformation,” defined as truth that nevertheless causes harm?
It’s all because, according to the permanent government in Washington, all of this “mis-,” “dis-” and “mal”-information represents a huge threat to … “DEMOCRACY.”
[…]In reality, of course, they loathe true democracy, the idea that “the rabble” might choose their own king, so to speak. In fact, a shocking new Rasmussen survey shows that when polled, more than two-thirds of America’s wealthiest and most politically engaged elites – 69% of them – admitted they would be willing to win an election by cheating. That kind of attitude and willingness to literally lie, cheat and steal one’s way into gaining and holding power, helps explain not only the entire “Trump-Russia collusion” hoax, which became a Deep State pretext for censoring all of Trump’s supporters, but also the continual and ever-expanding persecution and mass lawfare campaign directed at Donald Trump himself.
The Washington establishment being described here, which as Trump boldly proclaimed shortly before the 2016 election, will do literally anything “to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense,” obviously has nothing but contempt for actual democracy. Rather, these people openly champion political corruption, censorship, oppression, persecution and an utterly undemocratic ruling system – as long as it’s run by them.
As if Kupelian wouldn’t endorse the same if he and his fellow right-wingers ever take power.
