Robert Barnes at Breitbart has written a superb summary article on the historical origins of the deep state and of the aversions of the complaisant and compliant regime media to embrace or refer to the term describing their covert intelligence community suzerains. He mentions three specific scholars who were crucial in detailing and describing the deep state’s emergence. Here are some additional volumes which amplify upon their preliminary explorations: The Dual State: Parapolitics, Carl Schmitt and the National Security Complex, by Eric Wilson (editor); Government of the Shadows: Parapolitics and Criminal Sovereignty, by Eric Wilson (editor); The Decline of Democratic Politics (see Chapter 29 – “The Corruption of Patriotism”), by Hans J. Morgenthau; as well as more recent scholarly studies of the deep state phenomenon.
