I was at a emergency management conference a couple of years ago; so many people at the mid to assistant executive level. Every one seemed very earnest about their mission (cops, fire and medical specialists, etc). I was sitting there wondering why the system could be so corrupt while there were so many dedicated folks.

It really doesn't take that many people in a system to corrupt it, if they are in the right spot. One of our goals should be addressing the kind of folks that went to the convention...who so far have tolerated the corruption.

We have to understand that they have a reason to tolerate/ignore the corruption. They have fulfilling jobs and families to support...as long as they aren't directly asked to commit a corrupt act, they will likely look the other way; this is human nature

so one goal is to make these folks investigate the system of their own will

hence, propaganda and information war targeted to appease them for what they have tolerated so far AND to motivate them to scrape out as much corruption as possible
