  1. The „parallel state” so often talked about in Romanian mass media is indeed a hoax. There is no such thing. However, there is some corrupt network that encroaches various politicians, business people and Intel services, otherwise one could not explain the escape of Hayssam or Ghita, for instance. Such a network hammers anyone who wants to preserve the rule of law.

    It is possible that Dragnea & Co. have launched this hoax in order to distract people from their own illegal wealth. The mainstream media has bought this theory. Many of the troubles and problems of today’s Romania are blamed on the „parallel state”. What is the structure of and the actors making up the Romanian „parallel state”?

    If we were to compare what has been happening in the country in the past months to what has been happening in the US in the past years, at least since 9/11, if not earlier, the „deep state” there has a certain structure, as Mike Lofgren has pointed out, in an interview with Salon. The military-industrial complex, the Intel services, DOD, Department of Homeland Security and the Wall Street seem to be its main actors. They have their own agendas. Besides there is also the SES.

    Moreover, in the US there seems to be some deep conflict between the Intel services & the industrial complex (big corporations, security and defense contractors), on the one hand, and the White House & the army, on the other. Moreover, president Trump is not very coherent in his policies and the way he „communicates” with people both nationally and internationally. He is the least „politically correct” American leader in the past years. The myriad of interests, both private and public, has been burdening.

    It is no wonder that various billionaires finance politicians, future presidential candidates and lobby hard for various policies within and without the country. In this respect, the military-industrial complex has the most lucrative businesses with the government. Moreover, private contractors have got more than 50-60% of Intel work from the government services. At the same time, corporations such as Booz Allen Hamilton, Boeing, Raytheon, CACI, SACI, DynCorp, etc. have gotten some of the biggest money-making military contracts. A great share of Intel work has been privatized. This leads to what some pundits call „corrupt intelligence”, as was the case with the Iraq war based on false accusations from the Bush Jr. cabinet and Tony Blair’s British establishment.

    So then, the American „deep state” is not the same with the Romanian „parallel state”. Just a bunch of extremely corrupt individual, petty Byzantine criminals, who have been trying to fool an entire population and the politicians for their own benefit. Dragnea & Co. have been trying to import the „deep state” theory in Romania but somehow twisted it to serve their own purposes. It still is a good manipulation and disinformation technique. And, apparently, it does work in our environment.
