Intro to ‘DEEP STATE – SHADOW GOVERNMENT REVEALED:
SENIOR EXECUTIVE SERVICE’
John R. Houk, Editor

One my Facebook buddies pointed to a 40-minute video
entitled, “Obamas SES Army Found”. I
will post the video at the end of an article that is about the tentacles of
power inherent in the government operated Senior Executive Service or SES for
short.
The short and inadequate form of the video/article theme on
the SES is that former President Obama appointed a majority of the current SES
staff with the purpose of perpetuating a Crooked Hillary Leftist agenda or to
gut a Trump Administration with subversive failure. Of course, Crooked Hillary
lost so this SES Deep State is activating plan B against President Trump.
The article is on American Intelligence Media. The
AIM assertions appear plausible while reading. This got my attention.
The thing is the SES purpose on its website don’t line up
with some of the AIM assertions. AND AIM acquiesces the differences in their
assertions and the official SES line.
Here is the SES official line from their government website
with some brief insertions by me:
OVERVIEW & HISTORY
Overview
The SES
includes most managerial, supervisory, and policy positions classified above
General Schedule (GS) grade 15 or equivalent positions in the Executive Branch
of the Federal Government.
These positions are excluded:
1.
positions requiring
appointment by the President with Senate confirmation;
2.
legislative and judicial
branch positions;
3.
positions in law
enforcement and intelligence gathering agencies, in the Foreign Service, and in
other agencies excluded by statute or by the President.
Administrative law judges, members
of boards of contract appeal, and positions in independent Government
corporations (e.g., Tennessee Valley Authority) and in certain financial
regulatory agencies also are excluded.
There are two types of positions
and four types of appointments in the SES:
Career Reserved positions are
those which, as defined in law, are "to ensure impartiality, or public's
confidence of impartiality of government." These positions can only be filled
by career appointees.
General positions may
be filled by any type of SES appointee -- career, noncareer, limited term or
limited emergency.
Career appointments may
be to a General or Career Reserved position; rights of the individual are the
same in either case. Incumbents are selected by agency merit staffing process
and must have their executive qualifications approved by a Qualifications
Review Board (QRB) convened by OPM. [Blog Editor: OPM is the acronym for Office
of Personnel Management: The Office of Personnel Management
manages the civil service of the federal government, coordinates recruiting of
new government employees, and manages their health insurance and retirement
benefits programs. They also provide resources for locating student jobs,
summer jobs, scholarships, and internships.]
Noncareer appointments are
approved by OPM on a case-by-case basis and the appointment authority reverts
to OPM when the noncareer appointee leaves the position. Appointments may be
made only to General positions and cannot exceed 25% of the agency's SES
position allocation. Governmentwide, only 10% of SES positions may be filled by
noncareer appointees.
A Limited Term appointment may
be made for up to 3 years, is nonrenewable and must be to an SES General
position which will expire because of the nature of the work (e.g., a special
project).
A Limited Emergency
appointment is also a nonrenewable appointment, may be for up to 18
months, and must be to an SES General position established to meet a bona-fide,
unanticipated, urgent need.
The total number of limited
appointments may not exceed 5% of SES positions allocated Governmentwide. Each
agency has a pool equal to 3% of its allocation for making limited appointments
of career or career-type employees from outside the SES. OPM must approve use
of this type of appointment authority in other cases.
A position meets the SES functional
criteria if its incumbent engages in any of the following activities:
§
directs the work of an
organizational unit;
§
is held accountable for the
success of one or more specific programs or projects;
§
monitors progress toward
organizational goals and periodically evaluates and makes appropriate adjustments
to such goals;
§
supervises the work of
employees (other than personal assistants); or
§
otherwise exercises
important policy-making, policy-determining, or other executive functions.
Now for an unofficial description of SES via Wikipedia:
The Senior Executive
Service (SES) is a position classification in the civil service of the United States federal government,
somewhat analogous to general officer or flag officer ranks in
the U.S.
Armed Forces. It was created in 1979 by Kristine Marcy when the Civil
Service Reform Act of 1978 went into effect under President Jimmy Carter.
AIM extrapolates its assertions without direct sourcing but
links to other government websites where questions arise pertaining SES
authority. I gotta tell ya, the AIM educated guessing is very compelling.

DEEP STATE – SHADOW GOVERNMENT REVEALED: SENIOR EXECUTIVE
SERVICE
JANUARY 3, 20189:56 PM
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BETSY AND THOMAS DISCUSS THIS
TOPIC, PLEASE LISTEN HERE: OBAMA’S SES ARMY FOUND.
Most people know that a new president gets to name over
4,000 political appointees when they are elected. This political cronyism is
partisan politics and fills our bloated government with unqualified employees.
Some think that these are the people that comprise the Deep
State.
But the Deep State is much deeper than that.
There is a much more sinister system in place that controls
Washington D. C.’s bureaucracies through an actual, organized shadow government
called the Deep State.
It is the heart of the swamp.
And in this American Intelligence Media citizen intelligence
report, we are going to show you exactly who they are and how we can remove
them.
The Washington D. C. Deep State is a group of 8,156
appointed mangers in 75 federal agencies that control the executive bureaucracy
and tell new political appointees what they can and cannot do. Yes, that’s
right, the Deep State is an official government program, well-organized,
comprehensive, and “in charge.”
OUT OF THE 8,156 MEMBERS WHO MAKE UP THIS DEEP STATE OF
ENSCONCED BUREAUCRATS, OVER 7,000 WERE APPOINTED BY OBAMA.
These the are the “Obama Holdouts” that still control the
executive branch of government a full year after Trump has come to office.
Obama expanded the existing program of Deep State managers and
appointed over 7,000 of the 8,156 bosses who are called the Senior
Executive Service.
Some call it the “Shadow Government”, and it is true that
this federal cabal works in the shadows.
Have you ever heard of such a group?
Some call it Obama’s Army.
Let’s review what we know about the power of “political
appointees” who hold important leadership and policymaking positions.
There are four basic types of appointments:
§
Presidential
Appointments with Senate Confirmation: There are 1,212 senior leaders,
including the Cabinet secretaries and their deputies, the heads of most
independent agencies and ambassadors, who must be confirmed by the Senate.
§
Presidential
Appointments without Senate Confirmation: There are 353 positions which
make up much of the White House staff, although they are also scattered
throughout many of the smaller federal agencies.
§
Non-career Senior
Executive Service: Members of the Senior Executive Service (SES) work in
key positions just below the top presidential appointees, bridging the gap
between the political leaders and the civil service throughout the federal
government.
§
Schedule C Appointments:
There are 1,403 Schedule C appointees who serve in a confidential or policy
role. They range from schedulers and confidential assistants to policy experts.
The Senior Executive Service (SES) in 2016 had 8,156 members
who were appointees. Obama appointed over 7,000 of them to these key positions.
Most of these appointees do not arise from inside the respective
agencies through a merit system and often are not qualified.
It is little known that there are many more SES appointees
than any other type of political appointment. The “key bosses” in the federal
government’s SES program are not only unqualified cronies, but they are also
paid more than the highest government rate of G-15. They can even get bonuses,
and each agency can set the salary of each SES member, which has no top range.
THE DEEP STATE – SHADOW GOVERNMENT IS A RECOGNIZED
BUREAUCRATIC FUNCTION THAT PAYS THE BEST SALARIES IN FEDERAL WORK.
The Senior Executive Service plays a critical role in every
presidential transition, supporting and educating political appointees about
how government works, and often temporarily serving in top agency jobs during
the lengthy appointee confirmation and onboarding process. The article below
describes the transition function of the SES.
From the way the State’s Senior Executive Service describes
itself on its website and other publications and articles, you wouldn’t know
that it is describing a shadow government, unless you looked carefully at what
was actually being said and done.
The SES consists of men and women, noncareer and career
officials, charged with leading the continuing transformation of government.
SES officials are neither excepted nor competitive service appointments. SES
appointees typically support officials with the implementation of current
administration policies.
IN REALITY, THEY ARE TODAY ENTRENCHED BUREAUCRATIC
PERSONNEL WHO DO THE BIDDING OF THE OBAMA-CLINTON REGIME AND THEIR GLOBALIST
MASTERS.
The SES was established by the Civil Service Reform Act of
1978 as an Executive Branch personnel system. SES members serve in key
positions, just below the top Presidential appointees, and are the major link
between senior officials and the rest of the Federal workforce. The two types
of SES positions are General, which can be filled by any type of
appointment, and Career Reserved, which can be filled only by a
career appointment.
The following types of appointments may be made in the SES:
§
Noncareer Appointments are
to a General SES position that, generally, is of a top policy determining
character, who shares with Presidential appointees the advocacy of current
administration policies. They can be made without regard to competitive
requirements. Agencies may also set the pay level of the appointee.
§
Career
Appointments have no time limitation and provide certain job
protections and benefits not conferred by non-career and limited appointments.
§
Limited Term
Appointments are nonrenewable appointments, for a term of three years
or less.
§
Limited Emergency
Appointments are nonrenewable appointments, not to exceed 18 months,
to a General SES position established to meet a bona fide, unanticipated,
urgent need.
The Senior Executive Service covers most managerial,
supervisory, and policy positions in the Executive Branch above grade GS-15,
except those that require Senate confirmation. The SES is a system in which
salary and career status are personal rather than dependent on the position
occupied. There are two main types of SES positions: career-reserved (which
must be filled by career appointees) and general (which may be filled by career
or non-career appointees, or by limited-term or limited emergency appointees).
There were 8,156 SES members in 2016. To
see the evidence for those facts you can access the government’s official 2016
SES Report at the following site:

procedures of the Senior Executive Service from the official government

Executive Service, you can access it at this site:
To read a beautiful sales-pitch for the best jobs in the
federal government that require no experience, no skills, and yet get the
highest pay of anyone, just go to this site:
On page three of the report below, you can see for yourself
that the 2016 Senior Executive Services Report lists that there were 8,156 SES
members in 75 federal agencies. These “bosses” can’t really be fired
because they are in charge. This is a good deal for SES members who
are appointed as the all-knowing and all-powerful bosses of agencies they might
not have even known existed before they were put in charge of them. And it was
a brilliant play for Obama to have left this corruptcracy in place for
Hillary’s final overthrow of America, but now which can thwart the attempts of
the Trump administration to get anything done.
Don’t be fooled by the lie that SES doesn’t exist in the
FBI, DOJ, and State Department. There are “look-alike” senior management
systems inside of some federal agencies that fill the exact same purposes and
those systems are directly connected to SES. Even the Department of Defense has
these Deep State appointees, though they officially claim they do not. You can
see the proof that demonstrates their lies below:
Even though these SES key managerial positions are paid the
best, you can hardly find a single SES member’s name on any list, anywhere.
That’s why they call it the DEEP State. SES is a system of
controlling power through secrecy, and acting with complete impunity – and
getting a big salary to boot.
The only people’s names you can find associated with these
Deep State operatives is through the SES review boards that determine each year
what “BONUS” these already over-paid SES bosses will receive. Yes, you heard it
right – bonuses, like those Wall Street bankers and brokers who got bonuses
after crashing the stock market. Look as you will, you can only find a list of
names of the people who give these shadow government managers their bonuses.
We provide at the link below, the government’s own website
that lists the members of one particular Review Board. This SES Review Board is
for the Department of Justice. Oops, if you read the prior attachments, you
might have noticed that the government clearly states it is “forbidden” to have
a SES system in the Department of Justice. Obviously, by the evidence below,
you can see that there are SES members in the Department of Justice.
Don’t worry, just another Deep State lie to cover up the
names of the SES shadow government. But we do have a list of the people who
give raises to the SES members in the Department of Justic. Raises for these
SES members who don’t exist but are the bosses.
Also see:
It might seem easy to criticize the Deep State from an
armchair geo-political perch, but even Main Stream Media and government
agencies have noticed the SES and found fault with its performance and Obama’s
huge push to make it work at any cost. In an article entitled, Can the
Government Fix Its Corps of Managers? The Senior Executive Service isn’t
operating as it was designed to do, from The Atlantic in
January of 2016, an objective assessment finds the SES program to be lacking in
many ways.
Forty years ago, Congress set out to fix the government’s
broken bureaucracy. It worried that the political appointees who head federal
agencies didn’t have solid relationships with the civil servants below them.
So, it established a new corps of government workers, called the Senior
Executive Service, to be the executive branch’s expert managers, linking
appointees to the rank-and-file. But today, a new report finds, the corps isn’t
operating the way it’s supposed to be. And officials—from the Obama
administration, to members of Congress, to the managers themselves—agree that they
still haven’t perfected the art of running the federal government.
This
emblem is worn by employees of SES so that they can identify one another by their
team “flag”. Now you know who they are, too. Going forward we can spot the
members of Obama’s Army.
When the SES was created in 1978, Congress envisioned it as
an “agile corps of generalists” who would “move about the government much in
the way that military officers or foreign-service officers move through the
military or the diplomatic corps,” said Jim Read, the director of policy and
evaluation at the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board, which produced the
December report. They would bridge
divisions within agencies and ensure continuity in operations across
administrations, but first and foremost, they would be top-flight managers.
The SES, though, has drifted away from its original mission: The “agile corps” is not full of many
generalists at all, and the senior executives receive little training to hone
their management skills.
We need to
get these unelected, unaccountable, agenda-thwarting Obama appointees out of
our government if we are going to fully drain the swamp
Congress hasn’t been blind to the SES’s deficiencies,
either. As a 2012 Congressional Research Service report
details, reformers have had their eye on the SES for years. The House Veterans’
Affairs Committee, for example, has gone after problems at the
SES level at the VA. The government has been trying to reform the civil-service
workforce for as long as it has existed. Forty years after its creation, many
of the problems the SES was intended to solve persist.
The Deep State is deeper and wider than most people know,
and instead of being hidden and secret it seems to be public and filled with
well-paid Obama hold-overs. Unqualified, political appointees control the new
Presidential appointees and the standard bureaucracy below them.
It is hard to believe, and may leave a person outraged,
witnessing the audacity of career government employees and the corruption of
the systems politicians have put in place. Deep State cronyism built upon graft
and obfuscation fills the Senior Executive Service.
There is no need at all to have this Deep State shadow
government, and these political, over-paid management positions should be
filled by highly qualified staff through a comprehensive merit system, not
appointed by a partisan president.
It is time to pull the plug on the Deep State’s mechanism
that creates governmental programs and agencies that make no sense at all,
unless these machinations are an attempt to overthrow the government that is
supposed to work for We the People.
WE NEED TO TAKE MEASURES TO END THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE
SERVICE AND TOPPLE THE DEEP STATE SHADOW GOVERNMENT THAT HAS 8,156 OPERATIVES
IN 75 FEDERAL AGENCIES, ALL WORKING FOR POLITICAL GOALS OF BARACK OBAMA AND HIS
GLOBALIST MASTERS.
Feel free to share this meme below to your network of truth
seekers. Let’s shine a bright light on this shadow government corruption.
UPDATES
As more intel is uncovered, we will post relevant info at
the bottom of this article.
Above is a link to the men and women of the Senior Executive Services and
the people, name by name, in each department across our government who are
obstructing the will of the people to Make America Great Again, which includes
indicting a whole bunch of criminals and traitors. Here is same document in PDF
form: GPO-PLUMBOOK-2016
Thanks to the Anonymous Patriot who pointed us in the right
direction and also told us:
“SES POSITIONS ARE
NON-BARGAINING AND CAN BE ELIMINATED AT ANY TIME. MEANING, TRUMP COULD FIRE
8,000+ PEOPLE TODAY IF HE WANTED TO. ONCE YOU LEAVE ‘CAREER’ POSITIONS FOR SES,
YOU CANNOT RETURN TO YOUR PREVIOUS SERIES.”
