For many It will be a cognitive dissonance too far off the scale to fully process. In the developed west we've come to trust our governments. But it isn't too hard to understand how this happened. Well I shouldn't use the past tense, it's still happening.
It's basically a follow the money situation, but one outsized relative to the common forms of corruption we think of as business as usual.
It's also a situation where the self-reinforcing biases that form in centers of power become all encompassing so gradually over years and decades we don't really notice them fully until the ceiling collapses.
It is my feeling this will go down as the biggest scandal in US history.
It is reassuring however to know there will always be humans whose moral compass is strong enough they will not remain silent when ethics and morality are off the rails.
Such as Dr John Campbell, who two days ago asked: "what are these" ??
