Corruption is absolutely everywhere

SS: It’s been a poorly kept secret that much of “foreign aid” is lost to corruption in the receiving country. (“Foreign aid is poor people in rich countries sending money to rich people in poor countries,”) With the advent of citizen journalism, the *extent* to which “aid” is also diverted for covert U.S. government operations, including influencing foreign elections and supporting paramilitary activities is becoming increasingly clear. (Mike Benz, a former State Department official, is a good source for a deeper dive.)

P.S. The first view (other than mine) — and the first downvote — of this happened in under a minute. Curious.
