RE: Here Are The Top 10 Times The CIA & FBI Have Lost Crucial Evidence or Documents [VIDEO]

Agree with this:

"when the American government was created it was supposed to be absent of lawless and unaccountable bureaucracies such as the FBI, CIA, NSA, and EPA"

Sort:  

The problem is the nature of power. Once corrupt people obtain power, which is inevitable, they surround themselves with other corrupt people. When this phenomenon is compounded over decades, you see the moral erosion of society.

Yes. And this moral erosion does not begin with the corrupt in power. It begins with the electorate, who compromise their morals to elect corrupt people in exchange for something. This something may be favorable treatment, gifts from the public treasury, etc.

Keep in mind that politics are down stream from culture. This is why the establishment has infiltrated education, the mainstream media, Hollywood, and social media. Culture is changed from the top and filtered down to the masses who are largely incapable of formulating independent thought.

Absolute power, corrupts absolutely.
