It really is the most rotten heights of corruption, the sort of thing
I'd expect to see in a so-called "banana republic", but most certainly
not worthy of the US. I wonder that more US citizens do not stand up
against this appallingly overt corruption, but I suspect that the state
of the owned media over there is such that many, if not most people
remain in ignorance of the parlous state of their own government.
Perhaps the time is right for the US's major trading partners to highlight
these issues more firmly and fully? In particular, there's no excuse for
the major English speaking countries not to do so, especially UK, Canada,
Australia, NZ, Ireland and India, as there is so much trade involved.
