Crime flourshes - it is officially sanctioned

Many groups of people conspire behind closed doors to exercise power over other groups to transfer possessions from people they have 'targeted' as suppliers.
In the shares and bonds markets traders are able to shift inexpressible amounts of money very quickly between markets which they use as a weapon to bring about change in public policy of the country they have targeted. This robbery takes place on a large scale every day by corporate raiders who act behind a wall of secrecy maintained by the US and UK Treasury.
Crime is least understood when it is reported by the mainstream news wire who tell you nothing about corporate crime because the scale of criminal activity is so LARGE it would destabilise Governments and their TAx Collecting minions if its nefarious system of whitewashing criminal syndicates was exposed to public analysis.
The petty crimes committed by mainly poor people full of anger and bitterness about being robbed by their Governments fades into insignificance compared to the crimes committed by tycoons of Finance and Commerce hiding behind their civic official status as ministers or senators of the State.
Governments use hardened criminals to do their 'dirty' work in routine espionage, counter intelligence operations and political subversion in advance of a full military offensive. So, crime is a word that needs clarifying.
Many activities of Government are unaccountable and in my humble opinion it is in the hidden corridors of raw political power where crime is committed and where injustices are meted out on such a large scale that no-one has the balls to stand up to their colleagues and say 'enough is enough' and blow the whistle.
Crime flourishes because of a gutless Government that cannot even deal with its own conspiratorial system of hiding its own nepotism and corruption.
