How is it possible to drain the swamp in American politics? Sometimes I wonder if that’s possible. My personal opinion is yes, I would like to drain the swamp as well, I just want to drain the left side of the swamp first, not sure how that would work. In late 2015, we discussed the issues of political corruption in our study and how to address it, we determined that there was a need to ‘clean house’ or what Donald Trump calls; draining the swamp.

One of our experts asked; “What if the publication of the findings is made to the people through an honest media source that reports the news as it really should?”

Yes, expose the corruption, sort of like WikiLeaks tried to do with the DNC. Of course, one of the challenges is that much of the shenanigans that go on in American politics aren’t even considered serious by the masses (more like business as usual), as long as they get their stuff for free or the politician is from their party. . they don’t care. In the case of a reporter, if he leans to the left, he brushes off the Democrats’ accusations and acts as an apology, then attacks Republican politicians and leaders.

As a writer, I don’t need a Pulitzer, and I don’t always place much value on self-righteous whistleblowers, especially those who are involved and want immunity or have an ax to grind, or have done something dishonest to come forward. I especially dislike catering services.

Our thinker also affirmed; “You know the findings will also find their way to the giant news corporations through the back door.”

I guess, and yet how will this information be derived? Do you remember the Rupert Murdock scandal? Remember the HP scandal with board members getting cell phone call records? Although there is some immunity, theoretically from the media not to reveal sources, that would mean being dishonest in the process. Can we even trust the media? I do not.

Another problem I see is if this wasn’t totally unbiased it wouldn’t work. I bet there are a lot of very political animals on both sides of the aisle and the minor parties would want the information from the NSA, for example, to bash their political rivals. In fact, that could change history, even destroy the country if done poorly or without orchestration. (Remember: this was a conversation in late 2015.)

Our thinker now says: “We need good agents, and backed by a group of experts (who can provide targets), it could be effective.”

Boy you would have to have some great people on your team, integrity beyond reproach, and you would have to have command and control of the organization out of sight and out of mind (nearly invisible). I don’t know anyone I can trust on that level, just one, and I’m not convinced I want to, even if I understand the need.

You see, I also understand the animal, the political animal. I understand the competitive aspects and the type of person needed to get the job done. Have you ever been involved in politics? Some of these people are worse than stockbrokers at the wire house, selling penny stocks or working in boiler rooms. The last liar wins.

In fact, I believe the Supreme Court of the United States has been compromised by corporations giving high-paying jobs and consulting jobs to immediate family members of our Supreme Court justices. We cannot allow this. We must remove and replace those members of the Supreme Court who have allowed these compromises to affect their decision-making. We need to also look at the Executive Branch, the Senate and all members of Congress from BOTH parties, not just one.

We need to look at ALL the governors and ALL the top bureaucrats at the federal and state level, once we do this we need a serious commitment to anti-corruption to go down to the municipal level. Think about it.
