A cabal at the heart of the deep state, conjectured by Mark Gorton in his "50 years Of The Deep State", which was formed around the assassination of JFK, and - bound by a treasonous shared secret - could not dissolve, but which has more or less controlled the outcome of US presidential elections ever since, and has consolidated its control of the US government in the process.

The United States Deep state, sometimes just referred to as The Deep State or, informally, as "the Cabal" is an informal, off-the-books group believed to control the supranational network of deep state groups. Mark Gorton's essay Fifty Years of the Deep State provides an excellent introduction to the trail of footprints this group has left on US history post 1963. He describes how after a group of conspirators had coalesced around the plan to assassinate John F. Kennedy, they were then bound by a treasonous shared secret and so could not dissolve. He describes how the group has more or less controlled the outcome of US presidential elections ever since, and consolidated its control of the US government in the process.

Origins

Big money has a long history of organising paid goons to carry out its dirty work, whether through formal agencies (e.g. the Pinkertons) or otherwise. Since WW2 this process has been systematised and improved communications allowed local cabals to coalesce and be replaced by a single, larger group, first of US-wide, then global importance.

The Proto-cabal

Mark Gorton references, without any details, Allen Dulles, John Foster Dulles and Prescott Bush as key members of the 'proto-cabal', i.e. an organised political group which was nevertheless looser than the cabal proper which emerged after the assassination of JFK quickened the conspirators.

CIA Groups

The CIA's assassination squad, Operation 40, was created originally with foreign targets such as Fidel Castro in mind, but it seems highly likely that it played an important role in the JFK assassination. Moreover, Operation 40 members are also involved in a wide range of subsequent clandestine operations such as CIA Drug Trafficking, Arms for Libya, Iran-Contra and 9/11. This was probably the most important single group in the formation the cabal, just as the JFK assassination was the most important event. Another hit squad of importance in that its members seem to recur in deep events is the Vietnam War group, Task Force Alpha.

Expansion

Originally a single operation clandestine network, the cabal was "quickened" after taking control of the presidency and their shared secrets bound the group together into a multi-generational criminal cabal, which has been more or less in control of the US government ever since. Hiding its tracks has been a top priority ever since 1963, and a range of tactics have been employed to do this, most notably a firm grip over the commercially-controlled media. Gorton introduces his section on the "quickening of the cabal" with the following precis:

“The criminals who took over the government had an incredible fear of being exposed. If exposed, they would be hung for treason. Fear of exposure bound the network behind the Coup of ’63 into an incredibly powerful political force which has dominated the American federal political system for the last 50 years.”
Mark Gorton (2013) 

Gorton claims that with the shared guilt of the JFK assassination to bind them together, the cabal members have exercised an ever tighter grip over political power in the US, and the US presidency in particular. Their top priority were the ability to cover their tracks, so control of the commercially-controlled media and the US Justice Department have been a top priority, as well as the ability to suppress knowledge by assassinating key witnesses.

Early 1970's Leadership Struggle

“By 1973, the original leaders of the Cabal were dying off: Allen Dulles died in 1969, J Edgar Hoover in 1972, and LBJ in 1973. The death of their leaders created a power vacuum at the top of the Cabal, and as the Cabal was fighting off threats from the outside world, an internal battle was taking place for control of the Cabal and ultimately the control of power in America. Three factions fought for power: a network of old boys from the OSS (the Office of Strategic Services, the WWII precursor to the CIA), a group within the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), and a group within the CIA led by George H. W. Bush.”
Mark Gorton (2013) 

Gorton suggests that George H. W Bush's leadership of the cabal was assured by his successful pulling off of the Watergate Coup, and that the since that event, the Bush family has been in effective charge of the cabal.

The Cabal The Next Generation

Many of the younger generation of cabal leaders got their big career break in the administration of Gerald Ford following the Watergate coup. Dick Cheney served as Ford’s Chief of Staff, Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense, and George H.W. Bush was made head of the CIA. Gorton references, again without details, George W Bush, Marvin Bush, Jeb Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, Condoleezza Rice, (Saudis...) as members of the 'next generation cabal'.

Ending The Deep State

In an unfinished section of his essay on the Deep state, Gorton refers to "the rise of the internet and the liberation of the truth", opining that the truth will out, and old methods of censorship are doomed to fail since information is so easily communicable using modern technology. He concludes his essay on The Political Dominance of The Cabal by suggesting a truth commission as one way to break the cycle of criminal and corrupting behaviour: “I call for a Truth Commission to publicly and openly uncover the horrible secrets buried away behind walls of government secrecy. A Truth Commission would provide an opportunity for all people to come forward and confess crimes related to the Cabal... A Truth Commission could be a very effective way to purge the evil of the Cabal from our system. As hard as it may be to believe, things are so bad in the United States, we need a Truth Commission.”

 

Events carried out

Event	Location	Description
1929 Wall Street Crash		A dramatic end to the "roaring twenties" - a huge wealth grab by the superrich
1993 World Trade Center bombing	New York US World Trade Center	A bomb attack on the World Trade Center which several authors have suggested was not a surprise to the FBI. A confidential CIA internal survey reportedly concluded that it was "partly culpable".
9-11	New York US Washington DC North America	A complex and spectacular set of events in New York and Washington. The US government was quick to blame Al Qaeda, though no evidence of guilt was presented and there is much suspicion about what Al Qaeda really is. In the USA 9-11 assisted the Patriot Act's roll back of civil liberties, the stepping up of domestic surveillance and the financial advancement of the military industrial complex. Abroad 9-11 helped launched wars on Iraq and Afghanistan that had been planned long before.
Arms for Libya	Libya US	Around 20 tonnes of C-4 plastic explosive, training in bomb making, together with thousands of rifles, handguns & other weapons sold by a CIA operative to Muammar Gaddaffi's Libya in the late 1970s - early 1980s. Then "the biggest arms-dealing case in U.S. history", still lacking its own page on Wikipedia as of 2020.
Boston Marathon bombings	US Boston Massachusetts	A suspicious bombing with an even more suspicious attempt at a clean up - including the murder of Ibragim Todashev while in police custody.
Dallas occupy plot		A plot to assassinate leaders of Occupy Houston. Although the FBI knew about it, no arrests have been made. Tellingly, although documentary evidence exists, the corporate media has said almost nothing about it.
Franklin child prostitution ring	Omaha Nebraska Boys Town	A US/Deep state backed child prostitution ring centered around Larry King that was partially exposed
JFK/Assassination	US Dallas Texas Grassy knoll	The assassination of US President John F. Kennedy was the seminal deep political event of modern times, perhaps even more than 9-11. Both were done by the same group. Subsequently the group assassinated RFK, MLK and many others to try to contain the truth.
MLK/Assassination	Lorraine Motel Memphis Tennessee	Officially a US-government assisted assassination!
October surprise	US	A secret deal which offered the Iranians weapons in return for their preventing the release of the US embassy hostages before the 1980 US presidential election.
Operation Gladio/B		A development of Operation Gladio to help roll out the "war on terror" by promoting US/NATO-sponsored false flag attacks to be blamed on "Muslim terrorists".
Paul Wellstone/Assassination	US Minnesota	A crash officially recorded as an accident, but which several researchers consider to have been a covert assassination.
RFK/Assassination	US Ambassador Hotel Los Angeles California	The assassination of Robert Kennedy, who had resolved to bring to track down and prosecute the killers of him brother, JFK, once he had himself become president.
Savings and loan fraud	US	"The largest theft in the history of the world", carried out in broad daylight, with legislative assistance. So many US politicians were directly or indirectly involved, that it was never properly exposed and efforts are ongoing to try to hide the fact that it was no mere accident.
Watergate coup	Watergate Complex	This is framed by the official narrative as a simple case of political corruption, one which proves that "the system works", since the influential perpetrator was caught - if not actually brought to justice, since outgoing president Nixon was immediately pardoned by his successor, Gerald Ford. In fact it may well have been the outworking of a deeper political power struggle at work.

1980s	“The Savings and Loan crisis was a huge wealth transfer... According to people like Houston Post's Pete Brewton It was intelligence and organized crime that essentially collaborated with major Wall St banks at the time like Drexel Burnham Lambert and some of these other groups. This particular nexus, by taking like 6 billion dollars out of the savings and loan industry when it was deregulated basically buy what they didn't already own of corporate America. And so you have the same group more or less having compromised politicians through sex blackmail for decades, and by the time they own corporate America, due to the role that corporate America plays in US politics they can essentially buy everyone else out... During the same period of time, this network was also basically finding a way to off-the-books finance, erm "activities" — secret wars, really — all over the globe, not just in Nicaragua, at the the time, but really congressional approval to finance proxy armies... and for a long time this was justified with "this is necessary to fight the communists" and of course with the fall of the Soviet Union that excuse sort of collapses. And from that point, I see that power nexus in the 80s, after the fall of the Soviet Union I see that there's two, really a split, and you see it with US politics today. You have people... hungry for a return to the Reagan era days where America is on top and use these same types of illegal activities to further US imperialism, with a sort of warped idea of American nationalism. And then you have this other side that's the internationalist camp or the globalists that want global governance, and you sort of have them competing but... both factions go back to Iran contra and these intelligence, organized crime groups.”	Whitney Webb	November 2022
Bohemian Grove	“The upper class of San Francisco is that way.. It's not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time — it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd.I don’t even want to shake hands with anybody from San Francisco. Decorators. They’ve got to do something ... but goddamn it we don’t have to glorify it”	Richard Nixon
CIA	“[Bush] wielded this heightened power on behalf of the military industrial complex that president Eisenhower had so famously warned against. Politicising the process of intelligence analysis, he imposed a systematic bias that took a new, harder line towards the communist block. This was a direct reversal of the Nixon-Kissinger policy of detente. Under the guidance of Rumsfeld, Cheney, a young Paul Wolfowitz and others who had ascended in the Halloween massacre, Poppy began finding ways to get around the analysts who did not sufficiently hype the Soviet threat. To that end, he created a second analytical team which produced alarming estimates of Soviet military capabilities. The concept was known as Team A - Team B. In this way, Poppy was the father of the analytical gamesmanship his son would use to justify war with Iraq nearly three decades later, under the guidance of the same Rumseld, Cheney and Wolfowitz.”
Conspiracy/Public attitudes	“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”	Woodrow Wilson	1913
Deep state/2017 Popularisation	“Though the deep state is sometimes discussed as a shadowy conspiracy, it helps to think of it instead as a political conflict between a nation’s leader and its governing institutions.”		16 February 2017
Document:The State, the Deep State, and the Wall Street Overworld	“two governments: the one its citizens were familiar with, operated more or less in the open: the other a parallel top secret government whose parts had mushroomed in less than a decade into a gigantic, sprawling universe of its own, visible to only a carefully vetted cadre – and its entirety... visible only to God.”	Dana Priest William Arkin	2011
Election/Fraud	“It is more likely that time, rather than the voting booth, will erode the secret power of this Yale group, Nothing this outrageous can survive forever.”	Antony Sutton	2002
Jeffrey Epstein	“not just a sex criminal, that's what they want to paint him as exclusively; he was a financial criminal who dabbled in sex crimes.”	Jeffrey Epstein Whitney Webb
Mike Pompeo	“I was a cadet, what's the cadet motto at West Point? You will not lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do. I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.”	Mike Pompeo	April 2019
Fletcher Prouty	“The Kennedy assassination has demonstrated that most of the major events of world significance are masterfully planned and orchestrated by an elite coterie of enormously powerful people who are not of one nation, one ethnic grouping, or one overridingly important business group. They are a power unto themselves for whom those others work. Neither is this power elite of recent origin. Its roots go deep into the past.”	Fletcher Prouty	1992
Jack Ruby	“I tell you that a whole new form of government is going to take over the country and I know I won’t live to see you another time.”	Jack Ruby
Indira Singh	“If we do, if everyone works together, and comes real close to, ehm, closing them down, you will see the mother of all terrorist attacks.”	Indira Singh
Statecraft	“The financial frauds conducted by The Enterprise were designed to implicate, enrich and entrap a huge swath of the political class in DC. Fraudulent securities or oil and gas deals were offered to friends to enrich them and enemies to entrap them. In some cases, enemies were suckered in with easy profits on small investments only to be bankrupted when larger fraudulent investments imploded. By the time that the Iran Contra scandal made the headlines, such a large number of congressmen and DC insiders were implicated that any attempt to expose the scale of the scandal would have resulted in a near wholesale implication of the political class. In many ways, this endemic corruption is what makes political reform in Washington so difficult, the level of corruption is so pervasive that the political class has no choice but to cover for each other’s crimes or risk mutually assured destruction.”	Mark Gorton	22 November 2013
Tragedy and Hope	“For the first time in its history, Western Civilization is in danger of being destroyed internally by a corrupt, criminal ruling cabal which is centered around the Rockefeller interests, which include elements from the Morgan, Brown, Rothschild, Du Pont, Harriman, Kuhn-Loeb, and other groupings as well. This junta took control of the political, financial, and cultural life of America in the first two decades of the twentieth century.”	Carroll Quigley	1966
US/Chamber of Commerce	“The chamber of commerce is really one of the most powerful lobbies in this country. It’s so powerful you almost never read about it. It’s one of those deep presences that rarely rise to the level of being written about in history.”	Peter Dale Scott	2 December 2014
Underwear bombing	“Well, what I saw specifically was the two men go to the ticket agent counter together. Only the Indian man spoke and what the Indian man said was this man needs to board the plane and he doesn't have a passport. And the ticket agent then responded, well, you need a passport to board the plane. And the Indian man said, well, he's from Sudan and we do this all the time.”
