Camelot

Neither J. F. Kennedy nor Đinđić managed to make a radical difference, but there was a whiff that they could possibly change something fundamental.
They offered an alternative.
They polarized opinions.

And that is always the moment when a special forces unit begins to feel betrayed about the Bay of Pigs or The Hague, when the castes with vested interests – the heavyweights in the army, special forces, local and foreign secret services, police forces, business, mafia, and media – come together realizing that they’re in danger and claiming that it is the state that is under threat.

And that is the deep state. Etatism in its rudimentary form.
Those who live by climbing the ladder, as if they were in the army, are also the only ones who can call in the army, who have an army.
