This is no conspiracy theory. This is a well-known fact by those inside the beltway. While the American people are told about the endless “gridlock” within our government, many aspects of the “Deep State” run completely smoothly no matter what the American people think. Wars do not stop, Wall Street does not slow, and NSA surveillance keeps going at a breakneck speed. “The Deep State” is how the US Government ACTUALLY runs.
Press freedom is under attack
As Trump cracks down on political speech, independent media is increasingly necessary.
Truthout produces reporting you won’t see in the mainstream: journalism from the frontlines of global conflict, interviews with grassroots movement leaders, high-quality legal analysis and more.
