At the heart of American democracy, a complex network of influence hides, weaving its threads for decades, governing from behind the scenes without the ordinary citizen seeing it... It is the deep state: an unwritten alliance that brings together intelligence and security agencies, the military and giant defense companies, Wall Street and political lobbying groups, reaching the media that is supposed to monitor power but often creates a soft cover for it.
The roots of this network began after World War II, when the United States decided to face the Soviet threat by establishing the Central Intelligence Agency. Alongside security, Wall Street's enormous money stands as one of the main arms of the deep state. The financial sector alone pumped approximately $2.9 billion into the 2019-2020 election campaigns, at a rate of $4 million per day.
This network is not a mythical entity that appears in the dark, but it disguises itself in broad daylight within political offices and decision-making centers, feeding its power through intertwined factors: huge funding sources, sensitive secret files sometimes used for blackmail, and enormous ability to promote media and direct public opinion.
