For this arm, fund and support the mercenaries who become characters from the nightmare of terrorism to commit real fatal attacks.
Thus create the necessary impact to make people feel sufficiently terrified and justify the invasion and destruction of countries like the author of the article says, does not like to shift the US administration.
Although really decides what you do or not to shift management it is the deep state rather Trump, Obama or Bush.)
