Graft...



Italy became a democracy in 1946 - but the Mafia been popping since the 1860s

In my opinion, it's important to look at these other "advanced economies" as well as "failed states" - to understand what needs to be done.

You are too enamored with the corrupt financial system of the West. Most of the countries you are thinking about have likely had western interference in developing their nation.

If you want to pivot to the completely different conversation of Western interference in the development of nations - sure.

But don't kid yourself on the original point/delusion of equating these different types of corruption. It's a lazy, unnuanced analysis to imply everything is the same. They're obviously different in shape and size. And many of these 3rd world countries would be absolutely delighted to only have to deal with Western type corruption.

There's no easy way to stop
1) Money hungry/corrupt civilian leaders and politicians
2) Power hungry (and who then become money hungry) military leaders

I don't even need to see the video, because the answer to that question is: Yes. they can. Along with the FBI, NSA, state police, local police, corporations, and even private citizens.

Anyone who has the will and know how, can spy on your phone.

Ghana Trip​

March 4, 1957 to March 12, 1957
In March 1957, Martin Luther King, Jr., and his wife Coretta Scott King traveled to West Africa to attend Ghana’s independence ceremony. King’s voyage was symbolic of a growing global alliance of oppressed peoples and was strategically well timed; his attendance represented an attempt to broaden the scope of the civil rights struggle in the United States on the heels of the successful Montgomery bus boycott. King identified with Ghana’s struggle; furthermore, he recognized a strong parallel between resistance against European colonialism in Africa and the struggle against racism in the United States.

King was invited to the independence ceremony by Ghana’s new Prime Minister, Kwame Nkrumah. King’s friend Bayard Rustin coordinated the invitation with the help of Bill Sutherland, a civil rights activist and pacifist who was then working for Nkrumah’s finance minister, K. A. Gbedemah
