I wrote a post a couple months ago about how we, as individuals, can start pushing back to stop government corruption, but it can be easily adapted to any kind of corruption: over.https://saidit.net/s/conspiracy/comments/4c0u/some_tips_for_fighting_government_corruption/

It feels impossible to overthrow TPTB when we look at ourselves as individuals against "the system," but the reality is that there are billions of us and only thousands of them. The fortress looks impossible to penetrate, but the bricks of their fortress are hollow and the walls can easily be pushed over if enough people push. So pick a piece of wall and start pushing on it. Trust that other people are also pushing on the wall, even if you can't see them. It's all one big wall and the more people who walk up to the wall and start pushing on it, the easier it will become to completely knock it over.

Four years ago, I caught the State of CA red-handed running not just one, but two racketeering schemes. Since then, I have actively been fighting to try to get these schemes stopped. I don't spend a lot of time on my government fight; I do as much as I can as I have time to work on it. It's been a maddeningly slow and frustrating process, but I am tenacious and have been making real progress. I keep telling myself that slow and steady wins the race. I have recently learned that there are other people/organizations that are also pushing on the State of CA for similar types of apparently unlawful activity. If they make progress, too, the CA will have no choice but to change things.

I know my fight is only on one small area of corruption, but that is okay. Every bit of corruption needs to be taken out, and the more small chunks of wall we can push down, the weaker the rest of the wall is. It gives me a lot of inner-peace to know I am doing my part to make the world a better place. Whenever the news of this corruption or that corruption starts to get me down or feel overwhelmed, I remember that I am doing my part, small as it may be, and I trust that other people will also step up to do their parts, too. Together, we'll completely take the wall down.
