Political corruption exists to serve one, versus all-it subverts the very purpose of government and creates distrust of elected officials. Corrupt politicians manipulate the economy, unfairly reward those loyal to them, and even murder those who stand in their way.
In this episode of Perspectives, four historians discuss political corruption in the modern world-and explain how two former presidents got their comeuppance.

Ok so what are WE THE PEOPLE going to do about our politicians? Most are corrupt. It's up to us to act and hold them accountable

[@davidarundel6187]

What about the insider trading in both houses , from privileged information . It's offensive in the extream - Nancy's latest condescending appeal to constituents , to give her another term "for the children" - her & the husband's shareholdings .

[@hopefully2224]

But they keep voting for these criminals! I don't get it

[@rogerford483]

These are some of the best documentaries… can’t believe I never heard or seen this channel till today. My favorite part about this channel is that there is little to no ads! Thank you very much!

So basically every congressman and senator should be in jail because they've all committed a crime multiple times over . . .

[@robvancamp2781]

"History of Political Corruption in America" Shoulda been titled 'Here Are Some Examples of the Corruption That You're Already Aware Of'.

How our media work: A man was walking around the London Zoo, drinking beer and looking at others. Suddenly, a little girl gets into an aviary with crocodiles. The man throw out a beer can and jumps after the child. He pulls out the girl and gives her to her sobbing mother. The mother thanks the savior: "Thank you, you behaved like a real brave gentleman." -It's okay, I'm just Russian The next day, all the English newspapers came out with the headline: "Drunk Russian, stole crocodile food at the zoo yesterday" P.S. I am seriously engaged in analytics. Over the past 3 days, I have carefully studied the Russian and Western media. Western media: a) printed text: 98% does not correspond to reality b) videos and comments: 80% is not true CONCLUSION: unprecedented anti-Russian propaganda. The arguments of the Russians are blocked, as are the mass media (((((

[@anthonyschexnayder3163]

The main thing today is our federal government in Washington DC, wants to steal all our rights away because they want socialism and communism, They want freedom of speech gone which is the first amendment, so we can't talk about Jesus who died for our sins and salvation, and so parents can't speak out against the corruption in public schools) They hate the bible ,which our country and its values was founded upon ,even our declaration of independence starts off talking about God, it says we have been given by our creator ( meaning God above) alienated rights , to life and the pursuit of happiness) The left in Washington DC is the main Promoters of all this, which is the Biden admistration, Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Hilary Clinton and the lady vice president, They hate God and the Bible, they hate our patriotism and American history, if they had there chance they would arrest all Christians, burn the Bible and burn our flag ) But sadly when it comes to public schools, even though the left is the main Promoters, the local state government and school and school boards are working together to allow boys to go In girls restroom, which cause two girls to be raped, and the federal and local government ,school and school boards are all working together to promote to evil programs one called critical race theory which is promoting racism , trying to brain wash our kids to hate, and the another program is common core ,which is to brain wash our kids mind to hate God and Bible, to hate our American flag and patriotism and be pro socialist and communist) Public school should only be about teaching English ,math and history so students can learn, not a place to promote sexual perversion, and evil programs to brain wash our kids mind) The reason the left allows illegal immigrants to come in border ,not because they care for them, but to get illegal votes to push socialism and communism)

[@robertskolimowski7049]

I very much wonder when we're gonna see programmes like this about, say, Boris Johnson and his buddy from across the pond🤦‍♂️

[@floydbennett6936]

americans have been paying the price from bad government since our new century began , and now with biden and company in control we have been going from bad to worse! and even deeper! we have no president worth even speaking of, vertually no president at all! americans in a very short span of time will fix the problem and put donald j trump in charge and a lot of horrible politicans in congress will be driven out of power by over one hundred voters may be more in the next few years, a very short few years, illegals will be rounded up and exported from america , and our borders seccured! that is how it will be!

[@sisclark5846]

[@stephaniebailey920]

Small town Baton rouge Louisiana. I am a federal WHISTLEBLOWER in Louisiana I took in HORRIFIC GRUESOME DOCUMENTS on murder rape children molestation pornography pedophile molestation prostitution child trafficking human trafficking BILLIONAIRE criminal empire organization on my formal supervisor RAY LAMONICA LSU law PROFESSOR government officials. I worked for these government MONSTERS for almost three decades until I took in these DOCUMENTS I was arrested fired BLACKLISTED and they put a target on my back. These government officials spread lies slander political smear CAMPAIGN discredit me infiltrated highly compensated bribe recruited family members to ASSASSINATE my character to make their story seem believable. Even my husband who I have been with for almost three decades infiltrated compensated abandoned me moved out gaslight slander discredit me smear CAMPAIGN while we coparent. My daughter gaslight discredit me smear CAMPAIGN slander so that she doesn't get target attack anymore by family members friends neighbors community coworkers and to keep her job. Louisiana CITIZENS family members are sacrificing each other worst then ANIMALS for their own personal gain incentives. Louisiana CITIZENS have created these government MONSTERS now RAY LAMONICA government officials are master manipulators deceiving CITIZENS to death their own deaths. It's called Louisiana politics protecting their own BILLIONAIRE criminal empire organization. Louisiana CITIZENS family members are signing their own death certificate. A lot of Louisiana CITIZENS are forced to carry out RAY LAMONICA government officials EVIL agenda because they threaten to expose their darkest secrets. RAY LAMONICA government officials are clever charming have Louisiana CITIZENS deceive and being DECEIVED. It is a blood bath in Louisiana DIVIDE/CONQUER. Amazing to me is how these government officials are so clever even some very intelligent people are sucked into their plots. I worked for some very rich POWERFUL government officials and they are DICTATORS. RAY LAMONICA government officials deceides who lives and who dies.

Bribery and blackmailing is the conflict of interest in corrupt politician

[@1p6t1gms]

Ferdinand Marcos, was first baptized into the Philippine Independent Church, but was later baptized into the Catholic Church at the age of three. Imelda Marcos, Imelda grew up in a wealthy clan of devout Catholics. She was baptized in the nearby San Miguel Church on the day after her birth. Richard Nixon, his mother was a Quaker, and his father converted from Methodism to the Quaker faith. Nixon was raised with very orthodox beliefs. The substantial connections between religions, corruption and the human mentality...

[@MysterEarl]

1) Correlation not causation. 2) There were politicians far more corrupt who never faced justice.

[@1p6t1gms]

@@MysterEarl There are very strong causation affects related to the mentality associated with religion and behaviors, fundamentally as well that disrupts the rationality.

It's one reason they don't want crypto becoming bigger than it is. Imagine, "sorry I can't do that since everyone would know." It would solve a lot of issues, that and lobbying.

[@rogerford483]

It’s bigger because China is behind a lot of it. I’m a trucker and one of our clients store cargo container converted bit coin miners that run on solar power using truck size batteries (the size of a truck) to run each of the cargo container sized units. There was about 40 of them there, just sitting as storage waiting to be installed, probably in the high desert…

I’m against Bitcoin, it’s unethical and highly risky.

[@jimbrown5268]

Good Lord - just get over your TDS

[@christinemeyer9365]

What an interesting perception. However, you must not have been informed, it has been proven that it was in fact corruption in the Hillary campaign, and she knew. So many of the accusations about Trump, has not only been proven to be lies, but it's been proven to be political attacks against him by both democrats and Republicans and who ever else seeks his demise.. Like it or not, he shook them up and if you are awake (not woke, awake), you could see what the democrats are doing this time. Nixon; fine it was Republicans... this time, it's democrats. Sorry, but facts are facts.
