The corruption is the great scourge of human civilization. It is illegal in all states and is often prosecuted.
However, there is a legal form of corruption, lobbying. In modern democracies this takes the form of corruption to increase. This worrying development transforms our civilization over the long term in an inhuman society. The policy is increasingly becoming a facade. If you look behind this facade, one finds a people despised system, an ugly face of violence and greed.
The responsible citizen must necessarily be able to look behind this facade. Only in this way we can counteract this development. Therefore one must understand the functioning of lobbying.
The easiest way to understand the relationships, if you look at some examples. Here is an example from Austria.
The Austrian Federal Chancellor acquired a few years ago some fighter planes for the military. He chose not doing the best provider, but supported the corporate interests of the company EADS.
He did not act in the interests of citizens who had given him their democratic voice, but followed other instructions. After completing his capacity as Chancellor, he received one vote in the board of a large German energy group.
The allowance for this post is supposed to be higher than the salary of the Austrian Chancellor.
This process was not illegal. There is no evidence that there are links between his role as Supervisory Board and his role as chancellor.
The situation is similar with the former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. He received following the end of function a voice on the board of Gazprom.
These examples are intended to show how modern lobbying works. There are no criminal consequences for public officials who act in this manner. It may also be that the two men get to enjoy the high severance payments because of their qualifications.
Lobbying takes place not only in politics. Also, journalists, scientists, doctors, government officials and celebrities are promoted through lobbying if they support the desired interests.
There is a second page of lobbying, this is even worse than the first page. The lobbying system also eliminates incorruptible critic. Mercilessly persons are prosecuted and removed if they harm the system.
To achieve this, one uses a variety of means. The innocent is the denigration. For this was especially the word „conspiracy theorists“ created. With this non-word, one tries to make such incredible people. They are degraded and thus ridiculed.
A slightly harder means is the insinuation. This is done using reports in the media in which the person practices are assumed to harm the reputation.
In accordance with the requirements of the funds are ever harder, one does not scare even back before assassinations. Financial resources are available for this purpose in unlimited amounts.
This is not about global conspiracies, but a large number of individual interests. There are also numerous differences and inconsistencies within the institutions, which operate lobbying.
Ultimately, however, always act people in the institutions. They use their networks with people they trust, because trust is the basis for lobbying.
