Ruling Class Protectorate

I have no doubt there are plenty of good people among the rank’n’file of the Department of Justice & FBI who are doing their best to solve real crimes and protect the citizenry, but the leadership has been infested by corrupt political slime for a century, whose only purpose is to protect the Ruling Class and its power structures. There are plenty more names you could add to the above list: Robert Mueller, Loretta Lynch, Chistopher Wray, Merrick Garland, John Ashcroft, Janet Reno, and on and on. The FBI was never created by an act of Congress. It arose in the aftermath of the McKinley assassination, for which anarchist Leon Czolgosz was executed.

Originally called the Bureau of Investigation, the FBI was greatly expanded in power during World War I under the Espionage and Sedition Acts. The mission was never about prosecuting organized crime or corrupt politicians. It was about monitoring and convicting perceived subversives; mainly communists, libertarians, anarchists, and anyone who spoke out against the war. Average Americans didn’t give a shit about the ideologies or international politics. They mainly just wanted a living wage, safer working conditions, and reasonable hours. Unions were their primary means of organizing against the terrible poverty & conditions. However, since foreign governments infiltrated these unions, most notably Lenin’s Soviet Union, tens of thousands of Americans soon were labeled as potential subversives.

You may have heard of the Palmer raids, named after Woodrow Wilson’s Attorney General, in which thousands of Americans were arrested, most without a shred of evidence or any specific law being broken. While named after Palmer, the primary organizer and conductor of the raids was none other than J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover later became FBI director and managed to stay in power for 48 years. FBI power grew in multiples during WWII as it helped FDR intern over 120,000 Americans based solely on race or perceived disloyal sympathies.

Think about how many cabinet and other power positions are changed nowadays with each new administration. Presidents want their own loyalists! Yet, Hoover managed to stay in power through eight administrations until his death. He accomplished this in three ways: protecting the power structures in Washington, taking down perceived domestic enemies, and blackmailing politicians. He formed the entire culture of the FBI and DOJ that exists to this day. He compiled incredible databases of files on real & potential enemies, while planting agents in every perceived threat to America from the ACLU to Martin Luther King’s SCLC. He accomplished all this with limited technology and only a small fraction of the agents & budget the organization has nowadays.

Congress and Presidents live in fear of the FBI because of what it (or the CIA or NSA) may have on them, or what they could fabricate, if necessary. Trump was elected largely on the hope that he would finally be the wrecking ball to these seemingly impenetrable Deep State power structures. Unfortunately, he’s only made them stronger by allocating massive amounts of money to Palantir and other AI firms to harvest more of our data and find potential “subversives,” all while protecting the worst of the worst–Epstein clients. The administration is now counting on misdirection, delay, and corruption fatigue. That’s why they keep putting off deadlines and “finding” more Epstein documents to review or redact. The hope is the American public will get sick of it all, conclude there’s nothing they can do about it, and move on, so the Ruling Class can continue the corruption gravy train and strengthen their hold on power.
