Shane Smith Has Questions: Are We Being Ruled By A Shadow Government?



Shane Smith and author Peter Dale Scott, who popularized the term the Deep State four decades ago, on how it combines government agencies, the military, and organized crime. Scott discusses everything from recent Trump assassination attempts to historical deep events like the Bay of Pigs, the CIA and Mafia attempting to assassinate Fidel Castro, the Kennedy assassination, and Watergate. They get into the CIA’s involvement in the d**g trade, from Burma to Afghanistan, and its links to American cities during the Vietnam War. They get into how continuity of government plans, originally developed during the Cold War, were implemented on 9/11 and how that contributed to the creation of post-9/11 policies like the Patriot Act. They cover how Oligarchs in the Ukraine could be manipulating events to maintain financial control, especially regarding the ongoing conflict with Russia, and how economic interests are at play in both the war and U.S. political dynamics. And it’s funny!

  1. So, the deep state is making assassination attempts on its own people?πŸ€”πŸ€” I was hoping Vice had returned to the Vice from 15 years ago, but 15 minutes into this interview, I can clearly tell that it has not.🀷

  2. This is so fvcking bad I reported it for misinformation and political propaganda. Here's a copy of the report. (Misinformation, political propaganda, and debunked conspiracy theories. This is defrauding the public to sell books based on lies and fantasies. This video is a form of Menticide. This video is a tool for psychological warfare against the general public for political and financial gains. This video is meant to sow distrust and fear of the government. This is a form of psychological terrorism. This video was created to defraud the public and needs disclaimers to warn viewers it's based on lies.)

  3. The deep state doesn’t want climate change initiatives, universal healthcare, abortion rights, gay marriage legal, trans acceptance, DEI, CRT, Cannabis legalization, Unions, or a woman president let alone a black woman president. Everyone who votes for trumps helps the deep state and Putin carry out their decades long attempt to overthrow America. Democracy is fragile but strong.

  6. crack pot nonsense. in ep 1 the guest states exactly how Trump's ear being nicked was possible. this episode a guest is brought on that conjectures that the Butler shooting was a charade. Lord, I didn't realize VICE needed views this badly. also his comments on Ukraine are absurd

  7. Are We Being Ruled By A Shadow Government?
    Yes, we are. But only because a large number of people refuse to acknoweldge the hard work government officials do. Therefore, to them, THE GOVERNMENT is the "shadow government" because of pure ignorance by them.
    Its easier to just make crap up and blame a secret "other" than to do learn the easy and obvious truths of the world.

  8. Bringing up the "deep state" as a legit topic is like calling Brandon Herrera a "ballistics expert" instead of a YouTube Influencer. It's dishonest journalism and it's just making click bait.

  9. Would be an interesting investigation to see who else was connected and colluding in the opium industry in Afghanistan . We know the CIA and military and big pharma were colluding . Who else was involved? Who was distributing these drugs in the states? What was the fentanyl connection? This is a story that needs looking into. We know it’s not the first time the CIA have gone into the drug business and also directly been involved by flooding the streets with drugs.
