No such thing as a deep state?

Obviously, many seem to believe deep state is a figment of someone's imagination. Hilarious! Of course, it's understandable because they haven't experienced it. Here's one way I can prove it's existence easily. Go and apply for a government employment position, and see if you are easily highered. If the connected person doesn't make a call, you ain't going nowhere. The saying "it's not what you know, it's who you know"is the reality.You may tell me this is true everywhere. And, I tell you not even close to being the same. Of course, don't believe me, go out and find out. Sooner or later, you will know, either as a member or a victim. It's a web with extremely far reaching tentacles.
