Peter Dale Scott: The term Deep state comes from Turkey. They invented it after the wreck of a speeding Mercedes in 1996 in which the passengers were a Member of Parliament, a beauty queen, a local senior police captain, and an important drug trafficker in Turkey who was also the head of a criminal paramilitary organization the Grey Wolves that went around killing people.

The state that you commit crimes for is not a state that can show its hand to the people, its a hidden state, a covert structure.
