lmao and then she proceed to get them killed 4 minutes later
They also make the NSA and the CIA into some kind of Deep State, Illuminati alligned organizations, but the FBI is weak and an outliner of some sort
Wouldn’t it be realistic in the real world? The FBI’s nominal goal is to investigate crimes, so it wouldn’t have a reason to have extensive knowledge of deep-deep state plans like alien sex and experimentation. Even the people in MKULTRA didn’t have extensive knowledge about the program since they all got drugged during a retreat and not all the university psychologists were told about the intelligence connection.
To some degree, sure, but the FBI was always the explicitly political arm of the deep state (the Mormon army, Hoover's political racket, Italian and Irish mafia support over minority crime, COINTELPRO and anti-civil rights stuff etc etc)
In some ways, while perhaps less 'deep' the FBI could definitely be considered more of the 'state'.
Whereas for most of its history the CIA was a kind of stateless, private intelligence operation that just managed to grift funding from the US state. Obviously there was often alignment with Washington, but it really did work almost entirely in its own (meaning a private club of ultra wealthy or specifically connected individuals) interests even when they ran against the state.
Very deep, but not much state, at least not until the 80s/90s.
The FBI is definitely the muscle of the deep state. They wouldn't be privy on the agenda, but they would definitely be the ones hunting anyone who is.
Oh absolutely.
