The Deep State is Just Another Word for Public-Private Relationships
Yes! We want a Revolution!
Mapping The Whole and the Implicate Order- the local to the global
If you want to transform a government’ just take over managing the economy- that’s what the Maine Legislature did in 1976, to establish the deep state of Maine, which favored the new tech industry above and beyond all others.
By deep state, I mean government by public-private relationships, as embodied by the incoming Musk-Trump relationship.
The Back Story
In 1969 Maine became a Home Rule State by constitutional amendment establishing local control over matters local and municipal in character.
In 1976 by legislative deeming, Maine became an economy centrally managed by the state with the stated intent to undo Home Rule as documented in the Governor‘s Report of 1976, prepared for the Governor by a board composed of the leaders of the largest, wealthiest businesses in Maine.
