People are going to latch on to everything that isn't claimed.
Look at the graft, corruption, coersion and cronyism here in the USA among the operatives controlling fraudstreet and DC. It just happens to be the largest theft operation, ever. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I just retired from over 30 years in the military-industrial-government complex. I remained in the technical field, which was somewhat insulated from the corruption of management, but their tentacles reached everyone to some degree.
Don't be so harsh with the people in your native country. They are just human.
