Kentucky senator Rand Paul says "deep state" is real –

(Natural News) The Deep State is alive and well, according to Kentucky Senator Rand Paul.

Appearing on "The Laura Ingraham Show" a few weeks ago, the libertarian-leaning former presidential candidate explained that individuals currently in national security positions are essentially free to exercise their power without any checks from elected representatives.

"Absolutely, there is a deep state, because the deep state is the intelligence agencies that do not have oversight," Paul explained. "Only eight people in Congress know what they're doing, and traditionally, those eight people have been a rubber stamp to let the intelligence communities do whatever they want. There is no skeptic among the eight people that are supposedly overseeing the intelligence community."

It goes without saying that even though the intelligence community is supposed to rise above politics and carry out its functions in a bipartisan way, just like nearly every other American institution, it is susceptible to corruption. The difference, however, is that contrary to how most other levels of government operate, the intelligence community doesn't have a system of checks to prevent it from engaging in activities that fall outside of legal and constitutional parameters – throw rampant corruption into the mix, and you've got a recipe for disaster.
