By the state you mean the Uber Rich and Wealthy, the Elite, the Rothchilds of the World, and all their cronies that it takes to keep the Veil of Deceit on the World. The Banks, the IMF, the Bush FAmily, the Windors, the hapsburg, and so on to this day STILL Rule the Western part of the World and still want more.
Frenemies = Friends to day, Dead friends tomorrow
By the state I mean government in general, period.
