Political Corruption - Thank You Wikipedia, for sharing ...
Political corruption is a state of un-restrained political corruption & is known as a kleptocracy, literally meaning "rule by thieves".
An excerpt from Wikipedia : Forms of corruption vary but can include bribery, lobbying, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, parochialism, patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement.
Corruption may facilitate criminal enterprise, such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and human trafficking, although it is not restricted to these activities.
Over time, corruption has been defined differently.
For example, while performing work for a government or as a representative, it is unethical to accept a gift. Any free gift could be construed as a scheme to lure the recipient towards some biases. In most cases, the gift is seen as an intention to seek certain favors, such as work promotion, tipping in order to win a contract, job, or exemption from certain tasks in the case of junior worker handing in the gift to a senior employee who can be key in winning the favor.[1]
Some forms of corruption, now called "institutional corruption",[2] are distinguished from bribery and other kinds of obvious personal gain.
For example, certain state institutions may consistently act against the interests of the public, such as by misusing public funds for their own interest, or by engaging in illegal or immoral behavior with impunity. Bribery and overt criminal acts by individuals may not necessarily be evident but the institution nonetheless acts immorally as a whole. The mafia state phenomenon is an example of institutional corruption.
An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties, is done under color of law or involves trading in influence. The activities that constitute illegal corruption differ depending on the country or jurisdiction. For instance, some political funding practices that are legal in one place may be illegal in another.
In some cases, government officials have broad or ill-defined powers, which make it difficult to distinguish between legal and illegal actions. Worldwide, bribery alone is estimated to involve over 1 trillion US dollars annually.[3]

I believe it's time to re-examine the terms of what constitutes 'treason & sedition' in government ...
At the present here in Canada, an elected (by the people) official takes an 'oath of secrecy' to the Crown, when sworn-in ... That makes that MP / MPP a subject of treason &/or sedition, if they speak out - & the penalty is severe . . . What do you think ?
The current interpretation of 'treason & sedition' is based on the assumption that a given government is 'just & moral' & thus would be 'legally protected' from insider/outsider fraud & manipulation ... It's obvious that's not the case anymore ... Food for thought?
A question asked to 'Google AI' : If the government is corrupt, is an elected official a traitor?
In a system where "we the people" entrust authority to elected officials, corruption, acts against the people, and potentially treason or sedition can arise.
In summary: While the terms "treason" and "sedition" have specific legal meanings, the concept of betrayal of the people's trust and actions against the 'public good' can have broader implications for the legitimacy and stability of a government.
Whether an elected official is a traitor or engaged in sedition depends on their specific actions and whether those actions fall within the legal definitions of these terms in a given jurisdiction.
- "We the people" have a responsibility to hold their elected officials accountable. This may involve participating in elections, expressing their opinions on government policies, and engaging in peaceful protests when necessary.
- It's important to distinguish between legal definitions of treason and sedition, which are typically well-defined in law, and 'political interpretations'.
- The latter may involve using the terms as rhetorical tools to criticize or delegitimize specific actions or policies.
- If elected officials consistently act against the interests of the citizenry, such as by ignoring their concerns, engaging in policies that harm them, or suppressing dissent, this can erode public trust and potentially lead to various forms of resistance.

Thank You, D..D.. (PressForTruth) & your entire team of journalists, for your work & 'Love of Humanity' ... & to odysee.com (Press For Truth), for sharing . . . I SALUTE YOU! . . .
An excerpt: The 2025 Bilderberg conference is being held in Stockholm Sweden in June and Press For Truth will be there to provide the extensive coverage you've come to expect from PFT!
In 2018 the Bilderberg Group invited Pietro Parolin, the Secretary of State at the Vatican under Pope Francis who recently died…
So is Pietro the Bilderberg group’s pick for the next Pope?
And at last years meeting in Madrid Spain Dan Dicks of Press For Truth correctly predicted that Mark Carney was eying the position of Prime Minister if the Bilderberger group would allow it and it turns out they did as Mark Carney is now the front runner in the Canadian selection.
Will either of these globalist stooges be there in Stockholm Sweden in 2025?
I certainly intend to find out.
