Deep events which make pivotal changes in a society are referred to as structural deep events. Two crucial examples in recent US history include the JFK assassination, which marked a great increase in the control of the US deep state over the US government and the events of September 11, 2001 which launched the "war on terror" as a new means to militarise society and roll back civil liberties while rolling out the US police state.

| Tony Blair | “Thatcher deliberately and cruelly wrecked the social democratic society in which I grew up, with the aim of destroying any ability for working people to be protected against the whims of the wealthy. But Thatcher never introduced privatisation into the NHS or state schools – that was her acolyte Blair. She maintained free university education in England and Wales. That was destroyed by Blair too.” | Craig Murray Tony Blair | 25 July 2019 |

| US/Deep state | “When Eisenhower warned against the military-industrial complex, the values, institutions, and resources that comprised it were still subordinate elements in American society.
