America is committing slow motion suicide by corruption

Can America be fixed? The short answer is yes. What is the number one problem in America that must first be fixed? It isn’t the Marxist Democrats. It isn’t the communists. It isn’t Russian, Chinese, or other foreign influence. It isn’t poverty. It isn’t the uncontrolled southern border. It isn’t government spending. It isn’t our education system. It isn’t any of the things the politicians, the mainstream media, and others in the ruling class want you focus on. Those are simply “the sparkly things” they want you to focus on, so you don’t understand the real problem.
The number one priority for America to fix itself is ending the existential threat of rampant corruption that exists in the American government and too much of American society. This is the ugly truth American voters must acknowledge if America is ever to return to the America handed us by the Founding Fathers. In 2024, America is experiencing nearly universal corruption in both the government and private sector. If Americans can’t man-up and recognize the level of corruption that exists all around us, nothing we do will fix America. If Americans can’t man-up and acknowledge that we are all somewhat complicit in the corruption around us, we will never succeed in fixing America. That is the hard ugly truth.
It has taken the corrupt evil forces that now make up the ruling class in America 100 years to gain the control over us they now hold. Things are bad now with the American ruling class in charge. The current ruling class in America has designs on handing America over to a new world domination ruling class (George Soros and Klaus Schwab) with roots back to the evils of Nazi Germany.
At first, corruption is subtle. Have you ever voted for a Congressperson or Senator because he/she promised to deliver something to your state that you wanted? If you did vote because of that, that politician just bought your vote. Buying votes is a form of corruption and that is what I meant when I suggested we are all complicit in America’s corrupt ways. We keep electing incumbents because of this subtle form of corruption.
Well that’s not really that bad. That’s the lie we keep telling ourselves. And that’s why we now find ourselves neck deep in the sewer that is the near totally corrupt Washington, DC. By the way, how many promises did the Congressperson or Senator who bought your vote actually deliver? Ya, that’s my experience too.
Why does this rampant corruption work so well? Corruption is nothing more than a risk vs reward proposition. Is the reward greater than the risk? If yes, then you have a done deal. What are the risks for an elected or high government official? Public exposure is one, but for the most part, minimal risk. Financial harm is another, but once again, minimal risk. Physical harm may be a risk, that too is a minimal risk. What are the rewards? Generally the rewards are fame, power, and fortune. Fortune is easily identified by simply comparing pre-corruption net worth to post-corruption net worth. The value of fame and power has to be assessed by the corruptee.
How can corruption be ended? Since corruption is something mostly done in darkness (i.e. only between the corruptor and corruptee), there are few opportunities to interrupt the process. However, following the money will usually get results as has recently been seen in regard to the corruption by the Biden family criminal enterprise. This corruption has been exposed, but not yet punished. Sadly, this is not a very good example, since the system that would normally do the punishment is controlled by the Biden family criminal enterprise.
Can corruption be stopped? Of course it can, when enough people get “mad as hell” and refuse to accept the corruption of their politicians and government officials. But, will corruption actually be stopped? Probably not anytime soon. At this point in time, most Americans are far too comfortable in their Velvet Gulag. Until such time as Americans find themselves uncomfortable with their life, action to correct the situation is unlikely. Things may not be what they once were, but things aren’t too bad yet. It is a lot like the monkey that was thrown off the top of the Empire State Building, as he fell past the 76th floor, he said, “So far, so good.”
Sadly, so far, so good is really, really bad when good ends abruptly. If we wait until a majority of Americans “get it,” it will be way too late to fix what’s broken in America and the free world. America is passing the 76th floor, and we better be pulling the rip cord on our parachute real soon. If we get Trump inaugurated on January 20, 2025, we will get a big updraft in our fall, but in only four years, not even Donald J. Trump can fully stop our fall toward the dust bin of history.
Corruption will stop when the risk is too high and the reward is too low for each individual corruptee and corruptor. Until such time as these changes are made, the corruption will go on. America is committing slow motion suicide by corruption.
