Center for Global Humanities presents 鈥淭he American Deep State鈥
In a recent poll, three-quarters of Americans said they believed that a group of unelected government and military officials are secretly manipulating national policy. To conservatives, the 鈥渄eep state鈥 is an ever-expanding government bureaucracy, an 鈥渁dministrative state鈥 that relentlessly encroaches on the individual rights of Americans. Liberals, on the other hand, fear the 鈥渕ilitary-industrial complex鈥 -- a cabal of generals and defense contractors who they believe routinely push the country into endless wars. But what is the American 鈥渄eep state鈥? Does it really exist?
An online lecture presented by the 新香港六合彩资料 Center for Global Humanities will take up these questions on Monday, October 26 at 6 p.m., when David Rohde presents 鈥淭he American Deep State.鈥 The lecture will be streamed live to the Center鈥檚 Maine, national, and global communities.
