Technology & people who care are making it harder for those who are doing bad things to hide their wrong doing.
Government Transparency is one excellent way to work at avoiding/inviting corruption.
Government Transparency must become an important part of future government structure. We have to start somewhere. Letting men who control millions or billions of tax dollars have secrets concerning that money is to invite corruption. Total transparency is the solution that will do the most to end corruption.
Those who say things will never change, that the problems can not and will not be solved are dull drones talking in their sleep.
We have to learn from the mistakes of the past. In the near future, we will be building new economic & political systems. We must explore/find ways to prevent mistakes that invite corruption & greed. Equality recognizes that everyone is equally 'important'. Unlike the the modern world where rich people are viewed as important and others as insignificant. Deep within, we know it's time for change, time for justice & equality.
There are many adults in this nation and the world who are very honest. The idea of telling a lie, or of deceiving people is not
something they would be at all comfortable with. Currently most of the leadership in the USA are the opposite. Their integrity
is in the dumpster. Lying to get more money or to hold on to power is viewed as good and clever, as long as they can get away with it. That has to end. We the people can and must do better. We know that war, poverty & ugliness are all consequences of a corrupt system run by corrupt, but clever men who must be stopped. To let them remain in power would be like letting morbidly obese people who can't get enough at the buffet remain in power. The poor bastards are sick and should have no power of the rest of us.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Some argue sensibly that we should avoid privilege for anyone - because it invites corruption. We have to strive to eliminate everything that invites corruption. We must also strive for equality. Everyone has certain inalienable rights... to have honest leadership - that has no secrets - no way to hide shady/corrupt behavior. The law must apply to everyone, it is Everyone's duty is to obey the laws that men have agreed upon and to rise up against corrupt, wicked laws & leaders.
Great changes are coming and they can't be stopped. It's up to everyone who is mature enough to care and take positive actions.

165. During the organization of the communities [of the new Era] see that under a mask of fulfillment of the Covenants cupidity be not concealed. Destruction of creative conquests follows sinister cupidity. It may be said that this worm is far too firmly nested in man's ignorance. The more necessary, then, to know the cause of its germination. The most harmful cause will be in permitting privilege. With all strength it is necessary to destroy this evil ghost. The organization of the community first of all foresees equality. Admit any form of inequality and at once you come up against the perniciousness of privilege. The fact of inequality creates a seesaw--the greater rise of one creates a still greater rise of another. The only way to avoid an unsettling of the pillars is by maintaining equality.
Cynics may be found who will say, "Let them sway freely, the more energy will there be in space." The remark is not devoid of sense, but indeed the common work is so much in need of solicitude that a true economy of forces must be adopted. The most economical principle is equality, which destroys privilege and cupidity.

"It is delusional to believe that Britain or America can prosper sustainably when neighboring nations are in crisis. The cure is decent jobs with the right to a living wage, health care, education & social housing in people's own communities...
"Fear of machines that can liberate us from drudgery is a sign of a timid & divided society.....
"Our societies must embrace the rise of the machines, but also ensure that they contribute to shared prosperity. Every citizen should enjoy property rights over part of the wealth the machines produce. We need to establish a universal basic income funded by the returns of capital, not tax. What I call a universal basic dividend. This will allow us to spread the returns from automation to the whole of society." Yanis Varoufakis
"Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth."

Associate Socrate's quote with the super rich who can't get enough... for many Americans five or 20 million or more are not enough. The poor creatures are like obscenely obese people who don't know when they've had enough. They are sick really. Shame on us (we the people) for letting them get so out of control.
"It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second."
― John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always."
― Mahatma Gandhi

From secrecy and deception in high places, come home, America. From military spending so wasteful that it weakens our nation, come home, America. George McGovern
"The world is like a giant school. Most people are unaware of that - that don't see the Teachers/the administration because they work on higher dimensions, but They see us. Our problems are our lessons. We have access to many teachings that speak of the importance of virtuous behavior that have been passed down the ages through all cultures. Following those lessons, we can
solve our most pressing problems and rebuild the world so that it's a great place for everyone. That's what is going on. The old world is collapsing. It's the end of the world, but only as we've come to know it. With technology, brotherhood, justice, & love for each other, and the recognition of the importance of integrity we will build the most beautiful world ever.

Our energy follows our thoughts. When we think about something we give it energy. The less an individual responds to negativity, the more positive their life becomes. Wonderful things are happening every moment of every day and night. Negative things are too, but we can focus on the positive and become positive forces if we so chose.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
More than 75% of american television, news, & movies are very dark & negative best avoided. There are more positive options.

"We think... we can go on in the old ways... more competition, more greed... It is not so any longer; it does not work. If two-thirds of the world's population are living in poverty then the economic system does not work. If we think that they will go on without asking that it work for them, then we are sorely out of step with reality." Benjamin Creme
