Third part of a three part lecture on the Deep State & the Shadow Government by former CIA Officer Kevin Shipp. Presentation given 7/21/2017.<br /><br />THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT<br /><br />The Shadow Government is a system that manipulates Washington, DC behind the scenes, that operates beyond the control of Congress, that even dictates the actions of the president and affects the daily lives of every American. It is real and has been growing in complexity for over sixty years. While the American people work long hours just to survive and make ends meet, the Shadow Government spends billions of dollars on secret operations, overthrowing governments and engages in covert wars that kill thousands – all without any vote or say by the American people; the people that pay the taxes the Shadow Government uses to fund these operations.<br /><br />While their Congressmen and Senators promise they will make their lives better and improve their difficult standard of living, these same Congressmen vote for billions of dollars in military and covert action programs, taking contributions from the lobbyists of connected Shadow Government military industrial corporations. The people starve while the kings shower themselves with gold.<br /><br />Biography:<br />Kevin Shipp, former CIA Officer and Anti Terrorism expert, held several high level positions in the CIA.
