Deep State
On her colleagues' reaction to the election of Donald Trump:
The intelligence agencies exist to support the principals,” explained von Hippel...She warned that the problems could get worse, especially “if there’s a morale issue or they think that the president is making decisions and not paying attention to the intelligence they provide.[3]

On how the world should look after the Corona-lockdowns ("non-state actors" probably means the Bill&Melinda Gates Foundation and the largest corporations:
Karin von Hippel agrees the UN should take a more activist role, particularly in serving in a coordinating function, but offers a different recommendation on how. She suggests “a UN Plus model, one that could convene not just states but also non-state actors, including the private sector....Corona has taught us that our very survival depends on managing the future in a responsible and coordinated fashion.”[4]
She is the author of numerous publications, including Democracy by Force: US Military Intervention in the Post-Cold War World (2000).
She has written for the World Economic Forum.[5]
