Back in the 1930’s, the Communists in the Federal government put many of their people into ‘safe slots’ in agencies. That is, they were hired/transferred into agencies that would get less attention, so that they could later be activated, when the political climate favored their use.
Among those who were so temporarily ‘buried’, were many employees of the Agriculture Dept. Why Agriculture?
Because, thanks to the Agriculture Adjustment Act, that was pushed into action in a hurried way (it was seen as vital for keeping the farm industry afloat), a lot of employees were being hired quickly - and, many slipped by that would never have stood a serious background investigation.
Keep that in mind. It’s not whether a particular job/post gives access to put a Leftist agenda into action, it’s that once hired by the Federal government, people seldom get a real look into their past - it’s more often cursory.
The Department of The Deep State
The Senior Executive Service, or “SES,” was created on September 19, 1979 during the Carter administration.
It was originally formed to professionalize career civil service, while attracting the nation’s best and brightest in an effort to improve and modernize the management of the federal bureaucracy.
A position within the “SES” is considered the equivalent to general officer or the flag officer ranks in the U.S. Armed Forces.
For that reason, they are often referred to as our “civilian generals.”
Their pay scale starts above the top level of civil service (GS-15), with base salaries ranging from a minimum of $127,914 to a maximum of $192,300.1
Ostensibly, the SES was to be a corps of non-partisan, career managers who serve as the executive management of federal agencies…
Their job being to implement policy, not create it.
At least it was until then President Barack Obama changed that with a mere flick of his pen…
Making SES members nearly impossible to fire, once hired.
I strongly recommend that you read the linked article - and pay attention to the agencies that hired these Deep State Operative.s
