Deepstate

The term Deep State refers to a perceived entrenched government institution that is allegedly manipulated by a network of influential individuals who are believed to secretly control or influence government policy regardless of who is formally in power. The concept suggests the existence of a permanent state structure that operates independently of, and sometimes in opposition to, the elected government. The term has been used in various contexts and countries, often to describe a perceived shadow government or bureaucracy that maintains its influence across different administrations. In Hebrew, the term is translated as המדינה העמוקה (HaMedina HaAmuka). In Turkish, where the term originated, it is known as derin devlet. The concept has gained significant attention in political discourse, particularly in discussions about government transparency, accountability, and the influence of unelected officials. Critics argue that the idea of a Deep State is often used to undermine trust in democratic institutions, while proponents claim it highlights the need for greater oversight and reform.
