The Deep State is a network of unelected officials, powerful institutions, and corporate elites that operate beyond democratic control. It involves bureaucratic, military and intelligence actors who shape national and global policies for their own benefit.
The Deep State is no longer just a theory – it’s a reality. And until we confront it head-on, we will continue to live under its rule, writes Australian Professor Ian Brighthope.

Dear Deep State …
Hidden Power Structures of the Deep State and Mass Surveillance.
The term “Deep State” has gained significant traction in recent years, particularly within political discourse. Its meaning varies depending on who you ask, but it generally refers to a group of unelected officials and powerful institutions operating behind the scenes, exerting influence over government policy and decisions. While critics often dismiss it as a conspiracy theory, others argue that the Deep State is a tangible and complex network of bureaucratic, financial and military actors who shape national and global policies for their own benefit, largely detached from democratic processes.
In an era where global distrust of governments is at an all-time high, the term “Deep State” has become more than just political jargon – it represents a disturbing reality for many. It describes the growing belief that a shadowy network of unelected officials and powerful institutions dictate the direction of nations, regardless of who is ostensibly in power. While critics are quick to dismiss the Deep State as a conspiracy theory, an increasing number of citizens, journalists, and even political insiders argue otherwise. They believe the Deep State is a very real, deeply entrenched system that operates beyond the control of democratic institutions, shaping the future according to its own interests.
The Deep State refers to a collection of bureaucrats, military leaders, intelligence agencies and corporate elites who hold immense, unaccountable power over government decisions. It is an alliance that transcends party lines, operating in secrecy to protect its interests – often at the expense of democratic principles. While elected officials are subject to public scrutiny, elections and term limits, Deep State actors work behind closed doors free from such constraints. Their influence extends across political, financial and military sectors, driving policy decisions that affect billions of lives. Whether pushing for endless wars, mass surveillance, bull-sh*t sciences such as mRNA-vaccinology and climate change or Big-Corporate-friendly legislation, the Deep State serves a select few while undermining the democratic ideals upon which nations were built.
The birth of the Deep State is not a new phenomenon. Its roots can be traced back to the early 20th century in countries like Turkey and before, where a network of military leaders and political elites controlled government policy in defiance of elected leaders. Over time, the concept has morphed and expanded, appearing in many nations, including the United States.
In the US, suspicions of a Deep State have been fuelled by decades of government secrecy and unaccountable power. The military-industrial complex, which President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned of in his 1961 farewell address, is often considered one of the earliest manifestations of the Deep State. Eisenhower foresaw how defence contractors and the Pentagon would use fear of external threats to expand their influence, often at the expense of civilian oversight. His warnings went largely unheeded, and today, the military-industrial complex is bigger and more powerful than ever, a key component of what many now call the Deep State.
It is claimed that the Deep State isn’t composed of shadowy figures meeting in secretive boardrooms (a claim I contend) – at least, not entirely. Instead, it is a network of bureaucrats, military officials, intelligence agencies and corporate leaders who all share a vested interest in maintaining the status quo and increasing their power. These entities function in tandem to steer national and global policies, without the knowledge or consent of the public.
