Yeah I think media and universities fall within the deep state/permanent government. There's a great deal of overlap between academia, media and think tanks. Often major figures in media and academia go to work in these think tanks and NGOs and are fellows in elite societies.

Like the intel agencies, they too are a permanent fixture. They don't change with election cycles. Many of the senior fellows and researchers at elite think tanks like the Brookings Institute or RAND are former or current academics, generally from the ivy leagues. Columbia university is perhaps the most deep state affiliated university on earth. The Jews from the Frankfurt school all assembled there after being kicked out of Germany by Hitler.

Its also a well known recruitment zone for the CIA. Yale and Harvard are popular recruiting zones for the CIA as well.

The way I see it, social or political policies come forth in a specific pattern.

First policies are created in academia by left wing professors. Think something like Gay marriage, gay ''liberation'', abortion, feminism or trans perversion. However, this synthesis by itself is no threat. Academia is full of wacky ideas like the complete nationalization of all private property. Those ideas are never entertained in the halls of power.

What happens is that prominent think tanks like Rand and Brookings take a liking to one particular idea. They wager that it would be effective in forwarding their agenda. Something like feminism greatly empowers the oligarchy by doubling the work force and lowering wages.

This ideas are then circulated within the think tank sphere and government discussion bodies. If the oligarchs agree or find it favorable, they direct their NGOs to promote it or form new NGOs to promote it. Suddenly out of nowhere some trans-rights NGO will pop up and start appearing in prominent places.

Their buddies in the media pick it up next. Its no secret that the media is full of ex-CIA men and the owners and CEO are part of the same oligarchs class. They then began to aggressively promote it.

As time goes on, the frontier of civil rights grows ever more perverse and repulsive: abortion, gay normalization, gay marriage, trannies. People don't just accept these things lying down. That's where Hollywood comes in.

It starts to pump out hordes of movies and tv series portraying how innocent dindus the insert victim group is and how people that oppose it are inbred white supremacists with small penises. Hollywood's role is decisive in shaping the culture.

Here's uncle Joe blurting out that gay marriage would not have been possible without Jewish directors in hollywood.

Modern family was decisive in convincing the AWFL demographic on this matter. Two homosexual men act as loving parents to a cute little girl. Why goy they are just like any loving heterosexual couple next door. We of course, know the reality.

The endless barrage of propaganda and guilt tripping finally builds up a sufficient support base for the new perversion. However, even then most people are not fully on board. Gay marriage for example was defeated in a popular referendum in CALIFORNIA!

But once they have a sufficient soy boy support block, they mobilize their puppets in congress or the supreme court and the law is passed.

Then groups like the ADL and SPLC brand any opposition as hate criminals and sic Jewish law firms on them.

All the great perversions of the past sixty years have been passed this way. Abortion, gay liberation, no fault divorce, gay marriage, gay adoption, trannies.... The new item on the menu is pedophilia and the abolition of the family.
