What? Me Again?

This seems to be Walter Jon Williams week everywhere but here on the WJW blog.
Once more I discuss Deep State and the State of Egypt, this time on i09.  This is a different essay, and a somewhat different topic, from the essay on John Scalzi's blog.
Thanks to the delightful Charlie Jane Anders for making room for me.
Scribble scribble scribble, eh, Mr. Williams?
