Thanks to Vermont Independent-supported indy journalist Nafeez Ahmed for his deep dive into the “Deep State,” and how a war within the Deep State between varying factions spawned the Trump’ocrats. The larger problem, of course, is four decades of Deep State-supported US imperial neoliberal policies – financialization, privatization, corporatization, and militarization – that have hollowed out the US economy for the 99% while enriching the 1%, most of whom have already seceded from the US.

What to do? Ahmed spells out solutions.

Ours here in the Green Mountains? Continue to make Plan ‘V’ a reality.

Free Vermont, and long live the Untied States!
