Corruption is a political tool that allows for expansion of political interests of one party at the expense of an other, normally out of taking advantage of ones desires, and challenges to these desires.

Simply put, one only needs to have some desires and challenges and perceptions of limited power to be corruptible. Thus making it a potent political tool that is addictive and self destructive.

To fight and win over it, we must create more political space, ensure even and equitable distribution of knowledge, and offer adequate education to all citizens, everywhere emphasizing 'coopetition' (cooperation and competition) and mutualism.

And to cap it all, an integrative idea that goes even into cosmology.

I see 'terrorism' as a form of warfare in the global order. It is organized around defeating the idea of the status quo and its state system.

So clearly, all isolationist policies like building walls, denying other humans places of refuge and at the same time not being involved in problem solving amongst peoples and nations should be out of question.


To the extent that the status quo and the state system and the global order is changing, 'terrorism' then is winning the war.


'Terrorism' is a force that has come out of the weaknesses of the current state system, and as such it may appear to be winning. But paradoxically, it can't achieve its aims. As an idea it can only replicate itself to destruction.

And so far, even nation states are using terror and militancy to hold together and to expand political interests. That's how states weaken and terrorism unsettles.

So the answer is to develop robust counter measures through statecraft.

Is the government trying to tell us something?

If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Terrorism is a method not the end. Things are changing, so they are winning.
