We don't truly have any proof of a 'shadow government', however, if Trump suddenly goes the way of JFK we have some good empirical evidence that SOMETHING is indeed amiss.

Just because there is no proof of a thing doesn't mean it doesn't exist. In the absence of proof you need to take a look at the trail of evidence, of which there is ample since the late 1940's.

What Is The Shadow Government Going To Do About Trump
Same thing they always do, I suppose. I could tell you what that was if they weren't so.. you know... shadowy.

Can I ask you some questions?
Let's pretend that 'security' is a little box everyone wants to grasp and hold onto with their life...
What is it that's inside the little box? What makes us act like we feel safe once we think we are in possession of it?
...and now that we feel we are in possession of it, why is everybody and their dog trying to take it away from us?
Does possessing the little box give us license to tread upon foreign soil? Or do we do it because we feel secure, that we can do no wrong?
What's in the little box?
I have a feeling I'm going to want to smack Aristotle if I could...
I will be the first to tell you security is an ever changing little box. Your questions are philosophical ones. But who exactly is trying to take it away from you?
As far as us doing so on other soil, they do the same to us. Ever hear the axiom 'All is fair in love and war'? It is an every day occurrence with people from all over the world comming here to do the same. Again, this shadow government everyone worries about is really not the ones targeting you. It is the government in your face that is doing it.

I remember when Shep Smith said this:
I think it's disgusting that we're even considering doing more of it (that's not aimed at you, btw). We sanction other countries and even take out their govts for "human rights violations". Yet we'd have no problem doing the same things? Wouldn't that make regime changes against us also justified if it was done because of our own war crimes & "human rights violations"?
How can we claim that people like Saddam and Mao and Pol Pot and Qaddafi are evil if we decide to do the same things they did? Our collateral damage policies are already bad enough. And before our people learned of the Abu Ghraib and Gitmo torture scandals, people from other countries had already heard about it. But now we're going to openly do these things?
This is why I routinely say I refuse to take a side in this crap. From my perspective, both sides are barbaric and both sides delight in torturing and killing others.

You know- that elusive, behind-the-scenes, mysterious dark force that supposedly controls everything? The powers that be. Yeah. Them people. The ones conspiracy theorists love to mention all the time. I suppose this means the NWO, the globalists, and wealthy elite, too. But wait. Some say because he is wealthy and elite himself, he is therefore part of TPTB as well. So because he is now President elect, does that mean the shadow government has now become the sunshine government?
Lol, I wish people would make up their damn minds. Cause this is confusing the crap out of me.
If Trump can't be bought because he's a billionaire, and he wants to do away with lobbyists (even thought he apparently has at least one in his cabinet), then what? Does that mean the shadow government will just disappear into thin air?
Oh wait. But I forgot to mention the aliens. The shadow government is rumored to have some of those too. You know, that pseudo-pact whereby the government struck up a deal with aliens after Roswell to let them take some citizens in exchange for technology? So what's Trump going to do about the aliens? Is he going to make outer space great again for aliens too?
And how about good old Area 51? Is he going to send Mad Dog Mattis in to clean house and rid us of those pesky aliens?
I mean seriously. What now? How will we ever be the same?
I know what he SHOULD do though. And that is to completely abolish every single federal agency that is not explicitly mandated in the US Constitution. Down to the last drop. Drain the swamp. For real. And give those powers back to the States where they belong, and like the Constitution says.

To answer; I'm speaking more like a spectator (philosopher) than a consenting participant; I am secure in my own skin and govern myself quite good, after a hard learning experience of course.
Do you think it would be wise for me to entrust DHS over either the CIA or the FBI, even the NSA? What about the USMC?
I have a clue what is at stake, and therefore am encouraging positive out-come for all involved.
I think we should be better educated by our Governors, not just in USA. If we understood that we all face the same-should I call them 'demons'?..life-struggles-prevail the world over; we would be better suited as a team of champions working together -being a champion for our people-the world over. There is no justice in an us against them world, parties that become separated lose.
Thanks again.

As Bill Hicks suggested with every President elect. They take them to a room full of shadowy figures, show them JFK's assassination and ask "Any questions?"

Right... So the Shadow Government includes the Military Industrial Complex. MIC, aliens, TPTB, NWO, Globalists, wealthy elite...and who else? I gotta be forgetting someone...
But wait. Trump wants to strengthen our military like woah. So I guess that means appeasing the MIC, and it means Trump is now a part of the shadow government? Or...what?
