What are the “Deep State” and “Deep Church”?
Those engaged in strengthening global institutions can only be joined together by what they agree on, and that is not a vision of the good life and society based on Christianity, natural law, or any developed moral or cultural tradition.

July 8, 2020 James KalbPrint

The phrase “deep state” has been in the news lately, mostly in connection with the extraordinary resistance within the federal government to Donald Trump. The conception is sometimes extended to to the “deep church,” which the controversial Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò portrays as a shadowy clerical network “that betrays its duties and forswears its proper commitments before God.”

What is this all about? The archbishop gives the situation a cosmic significance, as part of a battle between “the children of light and the children of darkness.” And we certainly have reason to believe that there are influential networks that put souls and nations at risk.

Even so, the cosmic perspective can be supplemented with a more purely human and institutional one. The expression “deep state” is originally Turkish, and refers to a network of military officers and others dedicated to maintaining the secular political order established by Kemal Atatürk. But the idea didn’t originate with the Turks. It’s basically an extension of old ideas such as “power behind the throne” and “imperium in imperio” to large modern bureaucratic states.

In that setting something of the sort seems inevitable. Career civil servants have their own concerns and ways of looking at things, and they believe they understand the situation, their jobs, and the proper purposes of the institution much better than the elected officials whose will they are theoretically charged with carrying out—let alone the voters who elected their superiors and pay their salaries. Also, bureaucracies are unwieldy, and people dealing with urgent problems inevitably find other less formal ways of making decisions. Put the two tendencies together and something like a deep state, a government within the government, is guaranteed.

In recent times the Church has become more like a large secular organization. Those who run her machinery have developed an understanding of their role and identity that is far less connected to Church tradition. The more managed and bureaucratic she becomes, and the more she cooperates with other large bureaucratic organizations, the more true that is.

That understanding differs from old-fashioned clericalism, which developed in a very different setting. Those who share in it include not only clerics but laity, many of them employed not by the Church but by institutions related to her. The basis of their claim to legitimacy is not divine charism but something much more modern and more like the secular conception of expertise. That is why we hear so much more about “experts,” “programs,” “educational materials,” and “best practices” in the Church than people once did.

Normally, something like a deep state isn’t all bad. Career employees do have special knowledge, and continuity of policy is important. In a system of government dealing with complex issues networks of officials can serve an important function by accumulating experience, coordinating efforts, and buffering short-term political demands. That’s one reason all governments maintain a professional civil service.


Even in the Church, it makes sense for the impulses and aspirations of a pope to be at least somewhat restrained by institutional experience and judgment. The authority given a pope means he must be circumspect in what he says and does, and the ecclesiastical equivalent of civil servants, who maintain institutional continuity, help him do so. If a pope makes an imprudent decision it is just as well if his subordinates limit its effect.

But today the situation is transformed by the growth of an interlocking professional and managerial class that runs the whole of Western society. In its upper reaches that class includes business leaders as well as judges, civil servants, lobbyists, journalists, academics, NGO officials, and members of the elite bar.

The connections among such people are symbolized by the famous “revolving door” through which high-level officials rotate among government, business, academia, and the non-profit world. These people are often married or otherwise related to each other. They increasingly go to the same schools. (Donald Trump is the first president since Ronald Reagan to attend neither Yale nor Harvard, the almae matres of all current Supreme Court justices.) The Internet has greatly increased their ability to discuss and coordinate strategy and messaging. And the most prominent meet regularly at events like the Davos and Bilderberger conferences.

In an ever-more-interconnected world, such people can hardly help becoming aware of their common interests and concerns, and of the advantages of cooperation. That awareness leads them to develop loyalties directed more toward the system as a whole than toward the particular country or institution by whom they are employed.

These tendencies are enhanced by the current emphasis on the need for common systems of governance to deal with issues such as global warming, epidemics, population growth, and the international movement of labor. That emphasis results at least in part from a general aspiration to a more integrated global order. If you want such a system for other reasons, you will likely draw attention to such dangers and the presumed need for global action to deal with them.

In recent decades Church leaders have increasingly attached themselves to such efforts. In the current papacy that tendency has become altogether dominant, as seen in efforts to downplay issues that put the Church in opposition to the secular governing consensus, emphasize interpretations of Church teachings, legitimate or not, that align with it, and generally coordinate efforts with international organizations.

That tendency appears to be supported by people within the Church—Archbishop Viganò’s “deep church”—who identify most fundamentally as part of the ruling professional and managerial class. In some cases the liberation of such people from what is specifically Catholic is evidently associated with liberation of darker tendencies within them.


But what should we make of all this? A cooperative global order that maintains peace, order, stability, and economic development doesn’t sound so bad. From that perspective, the Church’s attempt to ally herself with the emerging world order would reflect a belief that it is inevitable and desirable, and needs to be infused with Christian principles through the Church’s involvement.

But can such an effort be successful? Those engaged in strengthening global institutions can only be joined together by what they agree on, and that is not a vision of the good life and society based on Christianity, natural law, or any developed moral or cultural tradition.

Instead, it is a vision based narrowly on technology and economics that takes material well-being and security as its goals. Those goals aren’t moderated by any larger vision, and the effort aims at comprehensiveness, so all things must be subordinated to them. And that means enlisting everything in the service of the system considered uniquely suitable for advancing such things, a global technocratic order readily manageable by billionaires and bureaucrats.

So the world must be reconstructed on the model of an industrial process. With that in mind its population must be turned into components and raw materials for the machine: manageable, manipulable, and interchangeable. National, cultural, and religious traditions interfere with the transformation, so they must go. As we see around us today, history must be destroyed, monuments overturned, and even sexual distinctions, the basis of the family and therefore of society as traditionally conceived, utterly eradicated.

In such a system the Church cannot be allowed to be the Church: she would get in the way. The direction of events thus seems as alarming and even apocalyptic as Archbishop Viganò suggests.

Even so, the effort will fail through its own internal weaknesses. The technological approach to all things reduces knowledge to formal expertise, rejecting informal pattern recognition and the network of evolved expectations and understandings that makes up common sense. The result is that our rulers are losing touch with reality. At the same time, the lack of a sustaining vision of the good, and the consequent moral chaos, are increasing the influence of fear and hatred, energized and stabilized by lies, as organizing and motivating principles. The recent rioting has put that tendency on full display.

These trends do not bode well, and very likely there are stormy years to come as society becomes at once more anarchic, more tyrannical, and more incompetently run. How it all will play out is unpredictable. Even so, we know that insanity destroys itself while the principle of life endures. If the Church holds steadily to that principle she will prevail. And we are assured she will.









The Moors were defeating everyone and they came and defeated the White Goths in Spain, Portugal, Sicily and Italy. It took the Black Frankish Prince Pippen known as Charles the Hammer to stop the Moors from entering Europe. I know no White men rule the world and the throne of Rome was given to the Khazars until the Moors could regroup. When they placed Barack Obama over America that was the rise of the dirty Moors Black Edomites again. These White Catholics debating who the Antichrist is don't know it's a Blackman. You must know the truth and you are receiving it now.

The Surprising Link between Islamophobia and Homophobia

In the 1600’s, English travel writers, and their readers, were obsessed with the sexuality of Muslims.

They were particularly preoccupied with the idea that Muslims engaged in homosexual relationships.

Nabil Matar quotes the Scottish traveler William Lithgow, writing in the 1610’s:

…Lithgow wrote that in summer, the city of Fez ‘openly licentiate three thousand common stews of sodomitical boys,’ and he confirmed that he had seen ‘at midday, in the very market places, the Moors buggering these filthy carrions, and without shame or punishment go freely away.’

Matar, Nabil. Turks, Moors, and Englishmen in the Age of Discovery
Others reported similar observations. Matar quotes an Englishman named Thomas Shirley, who wrote in 1607 about his captivity in Istanbul:

Theyre [Turks] mannor of liuinge in priuate & in generalle is moste vnciuille & vicious; & firste, for theyre vices they are all pagans & infidelles, Sodomittes, liars, & drunkardes, & for theyre Sodommerye they vse it soe publiquelye & impudentelye as an honest Christian woulde shame to companye with his wyffe as they doe with theyre buggeringe boyes.

Matar, Nabil. Turks, Moors, and Englishmen in the Age of Discovery
Nearly every English traveler to Muslim lands claimed to have witnessed homosexual relationships among the Muslims.

Matar writes:

Writers about the Muslim world felt they were expected to say something about Muslim sodomy in the same way it was expected of Muslims to be sodomites. The accounts therefore that describe Muslim sodomy are wide-ranging and appear in all genres—captivity accounts, drama, travel and, much less frequently and significantly, in government documents. Readers luxuriated in the degeneracy and deviance of the Muslims.




The pagan Moors were known for gay bath houses which they said they built them because Europeans didn't like bathing. Yet they state this lie to cover up completely that Europe was built by the Black Jews. And for the record Whites do and did take baths. There maybe certain ethnicities that didn't bath such as some African tribes who bath with mud yet find a way to stay clean.

According to custom, the Rain Queen must shun public functions, and can only communicate with her people through her male or female councillors.

Every November she presides over the annual Rainmaking ceremony at her royal compound in Khetlhakone Village.

She is not supposed to marry, but has many "wives", as they are referred to in the Balobedu language. These are not spouses in the usual sense of the word; as a queen regnant, she has the equivalent of royal court servants, or ladies-in-waiting), sent from many villages all over the Balobedu Kingdom. These wives were selected by The Queen's Royal Council and in general are from the households of the subject chiefs. This ritual of "bride giving" is strictly a form of diplomacy to ensure loyalty to the Queen.

The Rain Queen's mystical rain making powers are believed to be reflected in the lush garden which surrounds her royal compound.

What is Tiamat the goddess of?
Tiamat, a Babylonian personification of saltwater who is generally depicted as a dragon, created the first gods out of her union with Apsu, the personification of freshwater. According to the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation epic, she was eventually destroyed by the god Marduk, who split her body in half.

Is Tiamat evil?
Tiamat is a greedy, vain, and arrogant goddess who embodies all the strengths of evil dragonkind, and few of their weaknesses. The Queen of Evil Dragons demands reverence, homage, supplication, and tribute from her subjects. She is sometimes called "Her Dark Majesty" or simply "Dark Queen".

Is Tiamat a dragon in mythology?

Tiamat is the Mesopotamian goddess associated with primordial chaos and the salt sea best known from the Babylonian epic Enuma Elish. ... She is depicted, in later periods, as a female serpent or dragon based on vague descriptions of her in Enuma Elish, but no iconography exists from ancient Mesopotamia
....,..................................................




It's only a guessing game to those without understanding that homosexuality is occult worship. Here we have an ancient Jezebel spirit in the form of the Babylonian goddess Tiamat being conjured by the Biden Illuminati. So it appears Pres. Biden is hiding behind the power of witches and this is why Vice President Kamala Harris is so essential to his administration despite her low approval rating. Never underestimate people's hidden abilities Kamala middle name is Diva which means she is a powerful Jezebel witch.

So which Diva will it be that Pres. Biden selects for the Supreme Court? grin I will let you figure it out I give way to much.

The Roman Empire in its last days before Constantine was given over to all kinds of immorality, and in fact, that immorality continued long after Constantine. The Eastern Empire became officially Christian under Theodosius I, but the Western Empire continued to be a mixture of paganism and Christianity. Ironically, it was the invading Germanic tribes who brought Christianity – or its heresy, Arianism – and with it, stricter morals. The old Roman aristocracy remainedpagan in its beliefs and ways, and kept the immorality of the past. And with it, kept its sodomy as part of its life.

2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

Ignatius did not abandon his project for the conversion of
the Mohammedans. Don Pedro de Zacata de Bermeo, the com-
mander of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem, en-
deavoured to promote the interests of Catholicism in the Holy
Land, and particularly those of Ignatius and his followers. He
addressed himself to Pope Julius HI, from whom he obtained, in
1554, a Bull authorizing him to found in the name of the Society
of Jesus, three colleges in the East, which should belong to that
Society—one at Jerusalem, one at Constantinople, and the third
at Cyprus. In anticipation of the Bull, Ignatius, in 1553, had sent
Simon Rodriguez with a companion to Jerusalem, to wait there
until a favourable opportunity presented itself for establishing the
proposed college. Rodriguez went no further than Venice where
he fell so sick that he was utterly unable to continue the voyage.
The provisions of the Bull were never acted upon and the scheme
fell through. Although Ignatius continued to speak of the con-
version of the Mohammedans as his chief mission, his actions
now began to suggest the growth of a wider alternative.
It is in the organization and rules governing the Society of
Jesus that the influence of the Islamic confraternities is seen. One
of these societies is known as the Order of the Kheloua, a word
which means "retreat" and the members make this devotional act
a special feature of the Order. Before initiation into any of the
Islamic societies in existence at the time of Ignatius, however, a
retreat of from thirty to forty days had to be undertaken by every
candidate. Concerning this M. A. le Chatelier writes
:
"Mussulman doctors compare the initiation and the Keloua
to a poison, deadly if it is taken in too strong doses at the be-
ginning, but which can be assimilated by progressive usage. The
Keloua, which, at the beginning, lasts for one day only, is, by de-
grees, prolonged through weeks. The initiate ought then, in order
to isolate himself, to remain in one room of his dwelling, or in the
cell of a zawiyah, or in a cavern, or in the depth of a forest.
Whatever, however, may be the place of his retreat, he ought to
speak to no one during his retreat, except to the Sheikh, or
Moquaddim, the representative of the Sheikh. If he wants any-
thing he will make demands by signs or in writing. His ab-
stinence during the day must be absolute, but may be broken at
night, though only in order to take the quantity of nourishment


Priest Ignatius founder of the Jesuits modelled his order after many Moorish secret societies in fact he followed their exact formula. There is much speculation including Priest Ignatius arrest by inquisitors on two occasions that he was a secret Moorish spy. The Moors are tied to Ignatius and they are the ones behind the painting of the White Virgin Mary and the White Jesus of the Roman Catholic which prior to Moors invasion had historically been all depicted Black. The Moors are the architects of the New World Order openly carried out by the Jesuits.

“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”

You must understand the difference between the Lord's enemies. First the beast the satanic Khazars Askenaski pretentious Jews are like a beast. A beast is heavy breathing, large size and doesn't waste time with stealth seeks overpowering his prey. The so called Whitemen that came with guns, steels and germs didn't hide his aggression. The pedophile Khazars Harry Hay was an outright pedophilia promoter he sought to legalize gay marriage long before Barack Obama.

The dirty Moors and Black Edomites and other pagan Blacks who are enemies are the LORD conceal themselves. They are befriending, faking brotherhood and claiming to be victims of White Supremacy. These are the snakes mentioned in the Bible over and over again. No one saw Barack Obama as a pedophile and he had even won the Noble Peace Prize merely for being a Black president of the United States. Yet all along Barack Obama was carrying out the dreams of his father's pagan tradition of boy Wives. There are many Black people behind the New World Order and culling off as many Christians as they can to raise the Pan God of the Wild.

People got many thinking I'm losing my mind. I am wisdom. The Moors conquered Spain Portugal Sicily and Italy and made White women prostitutes. Call it a harem but they were nothing but brothels. And this where White Christians were considered slaves and to become free many became Jews and Muslims. The Askenaskis trace their lineage back to 4 White women who converted to Judaism during this period the Moors enslaved all White Christians on the Iberian Peninsula.

A 1958 Visit to a Dakar Boy Brothel

MICHAEL DAVIDSON

In 1949, Dakar was still the administrative capital not only of Senegal but also of a number of vast tribal territories [French West Africa], which today are sovereign nations.1 The French still ruled, and Dakar was already the “gay” city of West Africa. When I returned nine years later, the French rulers had gone, and Dakar was gayer than ever. … For some reason, buried in history and ethnography, the Senegalese—the people who inhabit the vast plains on either side of the Senegal River, raising livestock and harvesting the easy-growing peanut—have a reputation in all those regions for homosexuality, and in Dakar, one can quickly see that they merit this reputation. …

The Dakar of 1958 was the Paris of Africa. … That one didn’t have to be shy in Dakar, and even less furtive, if one was queer, became pretty plain to me almost my first evening there. … I’d been introduced to an official of some sort in one of the Ministries: a middle-aged Senegalese of great charm and culture—and himself a lover of boys. Would I care to see a very special side of Dakar night-life, off the regular beat of most foreign visitors to the city? And so, one night after dinner—it must have been toward 10 o’clock—we set off in his car for some outlying suburbs. We soon left the “modern” town beyond and drove through miles of dimly lighted districts of the ville indigène—long acres of “native quarters”: low-walled cantonments containing, according to tribal customs, either thatched beehive huts or parallelograms of one-room dwellings built of sunbaked brick. Then we came into a world of bidonvilles—a twilit, dismal, shantytown constructed of corrugated iron and empty oil drums and any sort of do-it-yourself material that the owner-builder could lay his hands on. From the endless rows of dark and unwelcoming hutments there came a low muttering of human life—the life of the crowded families that lived in them, and, here and there, the throbbing of some deep-voiced drum, beating for a wedding or other family festival. But there was nothing festive in the aspect of these sad districts: behind the general air of squalor and dejection, I got the impression of latent hostility and watchfulness: a notion that all these sullen shells, which were the scene of human love and passion and family devotion, were on the defensive, on the lookout, in a state of mental siege. That sort of peripheral slum always attracts police interference, to say nothing of those little government busybodies obsessed with things like rates and taxes. …

Somewhere near the core, it seemed, of this labyrinth of sad—and even a little sinister—dreariness, my friend stopped his car and said: “Here we are. There are a couple of places we can look at here. I think you’ll see something to amuse you.”

He parked the car and locked it, and I got out and stood in the sultry, near-tropical night and suddenly found that I was listening to the muffled rhythms of some kind of dance music. There were drums of course, there are always drums in Africa, and I love drums, but I also heard the nasal noise of something like a saxophone. … Full of misgivings, what with the rather weird surroundings, now almost pitch dark, and the saxophone, I followed my guide along a number of narrow and unlit alleyways, branching off abruptly at right angles one way or the other, till suddenly he stopped at a wooden door at the end of a blind alley—and now, all at once, I became aware of a large arc of illumination being thrown into the night from whatever might be beyond the door.

The door was opened. My friend talked to somebody or other—whether it was a club with an entrance fee I can’t now remember—and then we were let in and walked across what was an open-air dance-floor of polished and hard-trodden earth, veneered and admirably dressed with cattle dung, and found a table handily adjacent to the door whence the drinks came and as far as possible from the saxophone. We sat down, ordered some beer, and looked around. Couples were dancing vaguely European dances—after all, Europeans had been dancing in Dakar, among their other European activities, for two or three hundred years; people were sitting in tables round the dance-floor in twos and threes—and a few in solitary expectance. The whole small circular arena was brightly lit. Our beer was brought. By now I was really looking around.

The place was full of adolescent Africans in drag.

In drag. I mean that most of them were indeed in girls’ clothes: some in European, some wearing the elaborate headdress of the West African mode. It was in fact a drag party, and apart from ourselves and perhaps two or three African onlookers of adult age, nobody there, I judged, was more than 18 years old and most were around 15.

They danced together. They camped around like a pride of prima donnas. They came to our table and drank lots of beer with us, simpering, blinking their white-powdered eyelids, widening their great carmined lips. … They have pleasant manners, these transvestite Senegalese boys. They were friendly and undemanding and bubbling with jokes of a tartish kind. They seemed, on the surface, to be as cheerful as boys of that age ought to be.
