Default Corruption or Conspiracy

Axiom, let us try to sought out a definition. I say this vid topic is corruption. I suspect you would call it conspiracy.

All you need to know is if more than one person secretly co-operates to corrupt,then it is called a conspiracy.

What makes you and icon use the "or" here ?

All corruption involves conspiracy except in cases where only one person is involved !

True.

However, the meaning of "corruption" in the context of national subjugation requires hundreds of conspirators - an impossible proposition to keep secret.

thank you for raising this classic myth .

Firstly , do not assume it requires 'hundreds of conspirators'
it works by a top-down heirarchical , need-to-know , basis .

eg the bank teller does not know what the bank manager's doing , the bank manager does not know what his boss in Zurich is doing ?

(" impossible to keep secret" ???
you mean like military technology ??
manhatten project ?
organised crime ? )
