Every once in a while, you come across something online that just nails it. This is one of those times. We found an analysis of the Deep State âcommand and control systemâ that will blow you away.
Yes, we all know the media is in bed with the regime, the Deep State, and every other corrupt power entity, right? But thereâs more to it than you might think. In this really weird way, this is an issue thatâs both more complicated and less complicated at the same time.

Now for the good newsâPresident Trump has found a clever way to break down this massive, intricate apparatus, and as we speak, itâs crumbling. More on that later.
Thatâs the positive. But there are plenty of negatives too; more on that later as well.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty and share this incredible analysis with you, letâs take a step back and lay the groundwork for how the Deep Stateâs âcommand and controlâ system really operates.
Most of us know all about the âfake newsâ pipeline, but what we donât realize is how it actually works. People love to joke about CNN being the âCIA News Network,â and honestly, theyâre probably not too far off. But the way this whole operation plays out is fascinating, chillingâand very telling.
And to understand how Trump just broke it, you first need to get a solid grasp on how the machine actually runs. No, itâs not some shadowy figure in a dark, smoke-filled office making phone calls to handpick news stories for the left. Itâs a lot more intricate, detailed, and clever than that.
Thereâs a very precise system in place, designed to make so-called âjournalistsâ and editors believe theyâre actually doing real journalism. That illusion is key. If the pawns start to question their own role, the whole scheme falls apart. Keeping them convinced theyâre professionals is what makes this machine run like a well-oiled propaganda factory.
So, without further ado, hereâs one of the best breakdowns of the Deep Stateâs media control centerâand how President Trump just shattered it, leaving the players confused and scrambling for answers.
I opened my NYTimes app today. Theyâre trying, but they canât keep up. News that broke just hours ago is already off the homepage.
THIS IS CRUCIAL
The entire liberal deep state command and control system is broken. Let me explain đ§ľ
The NYTimesâ primary function isnât journalism. Itâs narrative coordinationâsetting the frame so the entire political-media machine knows how to think about an issue before it takes off.
Ever notice how, overnight, everyone starts saying âBiden is sharp as a tackâ or âJD Vance is weirdâ?
Itâs not random. Itâs a system.
The Narrative Pipeline: How The Blob Operates
The NYTimes, NPR, WaPo, CNN, and the rest donât just react to news. They function as a distributed, decentralized mission command system for the Democratic Party and the broader Blob.
Step 1: Local Bureau Chiefs â These guys are stationed across the country, watching which stories gain traction and fielding calls from Dem operatives feeding them narratives.
Stories that they need to start controlling
Step 2: New York Editors â Bureau chiefs snip the news and send it to NY, where an editor triages it:
â˘Will this explode nationwide?
â˘Will it simmer for days?
â˘Or should we bury it?Step 3: Editorial Meeting â The most concerning stories get flagged. Here, editors decide on the narrative framing and who to assign to write it.
But before they assign a journalist, they make one critical callâto the Deep State.
Why? To give the government a head start on controlling the story.
At this point, the Deep State doesnât just say, âHereâs what happened.â They strategically select sources based on the tone they want.
â˘If they need hawkish China rhetoric, they have a âChina hardlinerâ expert on speed dial.
â˘If they want to downplay a Chinese spy scandal, they go to a âdovishâ China expert who will say itâs being blown out of proportion.
â˘If itâs a military scandal, they pick a âtrustworthyâ retired general to subtly steer the discussion toward a desired conclusion.This isnât journalismâitâs perception warfare.
Once the tone is set, the editor assigns the story and suggests the approved sources to call.
The journalistâs job is simple:
â˘Get quotes from the right experts.
â˘Write it up.
â˘Stick to the approved anglesIf something goes wrong with the angle (e.g. a source exposes it as a lie) they return to the editor for âguidance.â Occasionally, a journalist oversteps. If itâs minor, it passes. If itâs major, the editor kills the piece, buries it on page 16, or reassigns it to a more trusted writer to âcorrectâ the framing.
Overstep too many times and your reassigned to local news or gently (itâs not your fault, we LOVE your spark, just downsizing) let go.
Do a really good job sticking to the approved script youâll get awards or book deals and travel assignments.
Nobody flatly says âthis award isnât for toeing the party lineâ because that would expose the scam.
No, these journalist are smart. They either pick up on the reward incentives or they are gently pushed aside.
Suddenly, every news outlet, late-night host, and blue check is reinforcing the same message.
And because they arenât technically taking orders, they think itâs their own independent analysis.
This is why the narrative feels so unified. No oneâs forcing complianceâitâs a system that rewards alignment.
Now each individual pundit and blog is allowed to post independently but they all know unconsciously to work the narrative because thatâs where the rewards are.
If someone breaks the narrative in a bug way intentionally there are three options:
1) smear campaign to make them toxic
2) ban them from the system (wikipedia blacklist, social media throttle, no DC party invites, no pentagon press pass, etc)
3) turn them into a double agent who claims to buck the narrative but subtly shifts things left (@bariweiss is the ultimate genius at this)Not all stories emerge organically. Sometimes, the Deep State calls first.
â˘A senior editor gets a call:
â˘âEveryone in DC is talking about how weird JD Vance is.â
â˘The next morning, at the editorial meeting, that becomes:â˘âPeople are saying JD Vance is weird. Letâs get some stories on that.â
â˘Then every editor repeats it to their reporters:
â˘âDid you hear JD Vance is weird? Letâs explore that.âSuddenly, every news outlet, late-night host, and blue check is reinforcing the same message.
And because they arenât technically taking orders, they think itâs their own independent analysis.
This is why the narrative feels so unified. No oneâs forcing complianceâitâs a system that rewards alignment.
The deep state tries its best to play a soft hand.
They let things emerge around the narrative and only step in if the narrative is evolving in a bad way or new information disturbs the narrative.
So where does this organic command and control system come from?
Well, the military, of course.
Why This Matters: The Mission Command Model
This decentralized coordination mirrors how the best militaries operateâthrough a doctrine called Mission Command.
A bad general micromanages:
â˘âMove three platoons and six tanks around this road and attack the base.âA good general gives flexibility:
â˘âTake this logistics base by X time. Figure out the best way.âA great general sets intent:
â˘âWe need to cripple their supply lines. Hereâs what we know about their logistics.âThe best commanders set objectives, not ordersâthen let their officers adapt on the ground.
This is exactly how the NYTimes and the Blob operate.They donât give direct orders to every outlet. They set the intentâhow the political-media machine should think about an issue.
Then, think tanks, columnists, TV hosts, and activists execute their own variations of the message.
Why Republicans Keep Losing the Narrative War
Republicans donât have this.
â˘No clear commanderâs intent.
â˘No unified messaging framework.
â˘No ecosystem where think tanks, media, and party strategists move in the same direction.Instead, itâs chaotic, reactive, and uncoordinated.
Meanwhile, Democrats operate like a well-oiled Mission Command systemânot because of a single top-down controller, but because every key player understands their role in pushing the message.
And until Republicans build a competing system, theyâll always be playing defense.
That last part is the most important. Trumpâs rapid-fire style isnât just effectiveâitâs a wrecking ball to their machine, and he needs to keep it up. With the disaster this country is in, that shouldnât be too hard.
But hereâs the real takeaway: we need our own command system. No more of this âhigh roadâ nonsense, where we sit on the sidelines like Paul Ryan, clutching our pearls and mumbling, âThatâs not who we areâŚâ Meanwhile, the left plays dirty, and they win, and win, and win, and win.

We need a system that beats them at their own game and gets our message out to the American people. Social media has been a game-changer for us, which is exactly why the left is so desperate to censor and control the internet. Weâve built a solid base there, but itâs not enough. If we want to stay competitive in this brutal political landscape, we have to go bigger. Because like it or not, this battlefield isnât changing anytime soon.
