Looks like Haiti is heating up. State Department issues immediate evacuation for Americans.

I don't see your point. Voting out the bad guys or shooting them would be a conclusive way of dealing with them. Corruption happens because there is a tacit acceptance of corruption at the cultural level. It also happens because the existing institutions are more concerned with self-aggrandizement than service, and the people become desperate...and therefore resort to bribes to grease the wheels. Everyone is poor in Zambia. The police are not paid. The doctors are not paid. The teachers are not paid. Yet, they are there, and the service suffers. I don't think you have much experience of corruption.
No. There isn’t an acceptance.
Corruption works because of sales people.
The next politician will say “I will get rid of crime and bring in business”
So people will believe and put their hope behind that. So when the new guy gets in.
They lied and are apart of the corruption.
It’s like Ron D. He said all the right things.
Now he is exposed.
Nonsense. Corruption works because there are people willing to be sold. Where do you think these people come from, if not from the prevailing culture?
Zambia took a risk with Hakainde Hichelema (known as "HH" for short)...but their alternative was the known plunderer and drunk, Edgar Lungu. How has HH turned out? Not well. He disdains any regard for the people at large, looks to arrange big deals with big donors, and suffers corruption embarrassments within his administration and close family. Supposedly an elder in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. It didn't take any salesmen to create HH.
Here is more proof it's not CULTURAL.

The BLM group has nothing to do with black people. A small group of elites use this group for their own game.
The mass majority of ANY population is not involved in crimes. It's the small aggressive minority that commits the crime.
The reason why it's hard to defeat. Since the majority are not killers or thugs.
It's easy for the aggressive minority to inject fear into the hearts of the majority.
Communism works not with the majority. It works by using an aggressive minority that silences the majority.
Since you have changed the topic from political corruption to simple crime, that is a different argument. Have fun with it. But there is still the contention that crime has become worse to the extent that the culture has become Godless.
Here is an example of the military doing the right thing.
Only the military can clear out corruption.
Voting them out won't work.

I agreed the other option was to shoot them (which is an anti-euphemism for force of arms). Who said the military could not do a good thing?
Dude...
You know nothing about sales and marketing.
Sales is the process of emotionally bonding with someone to make a decision.
What has Trump done?
Trump has SOLD us on the idea of Making America Great Again. He has not delivered on that promise "YET".
So why we are listening to him?
Because he SOLD us on a vision of a better future.
There is no willingness to be sold.
Sales are not based on logic left brain thinking. Sales are based on the right brain's emotional/subjective thinking.
And you know nothing about nations awash in corruption. How is this a discussion of propaganda?
The average human wants to be left alone and be happy.
So no. It’s not cultural.
And "being happy" is often seen as a short-cut by way of bribery or chicanery. So, it is profoundly cultural. After all, taking a bribe isn't interfering with anyone...?
The average human also commits sin. Just about everything we DO is "cultural," because our actions are based on our beliefs about those actions. But talk of "the average human" is beside the point, when most of the grief is easily accomplished by a minority. Zambia excels in church attendance and piety. Doesn't stop the corruption at all. Nor does it dispel the fears of witchcraft. Or prevent men from cheating on their wives and/or beating them.
I don't think you understand that it takes a small minority of troublemakers to make an impact on millions.
How big is the Cabal to the general population?
How much has the Cabal lied to create the ILLUSION of a majority?
All you need is 100 thugs in the government to destroy a nation.
Of course I know that. I have made reference to the Bolsheviks in previous discussion.
But your numbers are fantasy small. You leave out all the fellow travelers in education, the media, local and state governments. And how did they get there? Because the culture places no actual value on the traditional virtues and principles, and therefore conservatives do not feel it is important to be involved in the details of civic life. Nothing more disgusting than to be involved in a union, whose members were likely half conservative in outlook, and listen to the complaint of a conservative member against the dominantly left-liberal union leadership. When posed with the question of running as a council rep, they turn it down as being not worth their time. I call that a worthless piece of shit---all talk, no feet. Conservatives need to own up to that failing and repent.
