Thanks for this great discussion. This is the first time I've heard of PBI. It brought up a question in my mind that perhaps one of you can answer: Are the Deep State and the PBI two separate entities? In my admittedly limited understanding, the Deep State tried to assassinate Trump. So if the PBI is "for" Trump, I guess that answers my own question? Thanks

Thanks for that great question, Scott. I just put this conversation, btw, up on my Substack and it's getting a lively discussion there: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/rfk-and-gaza.

PBI is a term I made up but I hope you use it with confidence and spread it far and wide. I don't ever think we should talk about geographic entities as if they have a will. Israel is, imo, another sacrifice zone like Ukraine. I don't think the PBI care about Israelis at all.

And I would answer your question with both no and yes. When people use the term Deep State, it's usually thought of as US-centric intelligence agency. Like the stories of JFK and 911, both focusing us on a red herring for those who didn't buy into the OffNarr (official narrative).

But for those who are really pulling the levers of the CIA, it's the same ones who control Mossad, which is why they so often work together.

The Trump 'assassination' was so hokey, it wasn't even a good fake. If the Deep State had tried to kill Trump, he'd be dead, not posing for victorious photo ops a moment later. There are a dozen data points I can refer you to, on ballistics and the body of the shooter disappearing and the security that got called off, but to me, his reaction was the first giveaway. No one comes that close to a brush with death and comes up with a fist pump.
