Every Guyanese must understand what the ‘Deep State’ is

[ad_1]

IF there is any nationality in this world that has an obligation to understand what the “Deep State” is and what it does in the American political system, how it stands in relation to the American presidency and the American congress and how it operates and has operated in socialist countries and what it has done to post-colonial nationalist leaders, it is the Guyanese nationality.

Guyana would have missed 32 years of instability (1960-1992) if the “Deep State” did not intervene and overthrow one of the great leaders of the 20th century, Cheddi Jagan. The “Deep State” harassed the premiership of Jagan from 1960 with trade sabotage and violent conflagration, of which some of the cruelties were not only tragic but bestial in nature.

It would be no exaggeration to say the “Deep State” destroyed Guyana. It is a miracle that this country survived. No human on Planet Earth should deny Guyana’s current status of the Phoenix. I don’t want to be disrespectful to other countries that have been devastated by the “Deep State,” and Chile comes to mind, but Guyana has suffered beyond imagination by the anti-Jagan hysteria of the “Deep State” in Guyana in those 32 years.

What we must not forget when we analyse the machinations and devastations of the “Deep State” in the newly emergent countries is that American domestic politics has not been spared the ghostly (used to mean ghostly and invisible) interference in America itself.

Space would not permit, but I will cite four examples of the “Deep State” at work in the US. One is the use of Iranian oil money at a time when the US had sanctions against Iran to fuel funds to the counter-revolutionary fighters in Nicaragua. Secondly, the suicide of Jeffrey Epstein. He tried to commit suicide and was put under 24 hours surveillance. Yet despite that waterproof system, he still took his life.

When journalists and academics theorise that Epstein may have been murdered, they are accused of conspiracy theory. Thirdly, very few people believe that a lone gunman killed President Kennedy. Those who believe it was a “Deep-State” conspiracy are deemed conspiracy theorists. Fourthly, the “Deep State” was involved in the widespread use of hallucinogenic drugs among Black youths. For a brilliant exposure of what the “Deep State” did in this respect, see the great movie, “Kill The Messenger,” on the life of the journalist who exposed this “Deep-State” conspiracy, Gary Webb.

Webb is supposed to have killed himself. But do you believe that? I have not defined the “Deep State” in this article because I have already done so in my Tuesday, February 4, 2025 column, “President Trump on the deep state, the media and USAID.”

Please consult that piece if you want to know about the “Deep State.” The world would remain treating the “Deep State” as conspiracy theorising if a sitting American president did not become a victim of the “Deep State.” I have already explained what the “Deep State” did to presidential candidate Donald Trump and Donald Trump as president of the US in that February 4 article.

The rest of this column here is about Trump’s assault on the “Deep State” through his appointment of head of the FBI and the deputy director of the CIA. I will start with the CIA first. Mr Trump plans to install the former daughter-in-law of Health Secretary, Robert Kennedy Junior as Deputy Director of the CIA, Amaryllis Kenndy.

Mrs Kennedy knows how the CIA is more powerful than the president of the US because she was a clandestine CIA operative for 10 years, during which she killed people or allowed them to be killed. She wrote about the CIA in her memoir, Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA.

If she becomes Deputy Director, it is hoped that Mrs Kennedy will at least attempt to stem the infallible, omnipotent and omnipresent power of the world’s most clandestine institution, the CIA. Guyanese should read Mrs Kennedy’s memoir. Then they will know that they are people in the CIA you would never suspect or think of being CIA agents in Guyana. Be careful of people bearing gifts. I know of one political activist between 2010 and 2015 who was funded by the CIA.

Finally, the FBI. Mr Trump has made Kash Patel the head of the FBI. Mr Patel worked in the previous Trump administration and is convinced that the FBI tried to undermine President Trump and through bogus information, particularly the “Steel Dossier” wanted the elected president of the US removed.

Mr Patel and Mrs Kennedy, but most of all President Donald Trump may severely cut the tentacles of a monster octopus called the “Deep State.”
