So, in 2017, Strache was set-up to make incriminating statements regarding the FPÖ's methods of obtaining donations and potentially getting around regulations against illegal campaign donations, e.g. from abroad.

He was set up, but from what he said you can see that he is corrupt. End of story.

He offered the 'Russian' lady access to public contracts, if she would buy one of the leading national newspapers, and help his party with an election campaign.

This is corruption.

If he would have been a decent man, they wouldn't have been able to set him up.

He, too, is part of a swamp, although it's not the globalist swamp.

Agree with you, but I have no skin in the game anyway. Change will not come through political parties, because all parties just cement the system, perpetuating corruption, which is a feature of it.

For being someone with no skin in the game, you sure spent a lot of time preparing this submission.

I wish more voat submissions on the topic were to the tone /u/think-'s comment rather than trying to reframe this sting operation by making a victim of Strache. Seriously, the only relevant information here is that Stracher got caught in a sting of operation, and he got caught in a sting operation because he was willing to sell his country for money and power.

That's the only important thing. Just because he was allegedly on our side, there's nothing to downplay or sideplay here. He was corrupt and a potential traitor. He got caught. Good riddance.

But that's not what's going to happen on Voat, is it? On Voat, we need to divert attention from the corruption and the filth in the conservatives and nationalists, and pretend that it's all about the conspiracy on the other side, because that's the only defence we're going to have when they'll get to the really big fish, and voaters must not realize that they got stringed along for years, they got played as puppets, with the pretense that the rich and the powerful give a shit about their ideals and aren't there just to get even more rich and more powerful at their expenses.

Thanks for this comment.

You're welcome, but I should really be the one thanking you. I've mostly lost hope (and interest) in Voat because of how much it has been flooded by one-side and acritical posting and commentary, so it's really refreshing seeing that there's still level-headed people able to exert the necessary critical thinking.

Thank you for your compliment, @bilog78. Right batcha' you!

Yes, Voat gets flooded by one-sided news, many bots and shills operating here.

But there are still many people who have an independent mind as well.

Maybe you'd like to come over to v/pizzagate, and see for yourself. ;-)

Our research focuses on elite pedophilia, and how it is being facilitated by corruption.

The lesson I have learned in the past 2,5 years - corruption is a prerequisite for other crimes, like trafficking and organized child rape. It's all connected.

Hopefully, more people will educate themselves about the nature of political corruption (it's clearly a bi-partisan issue), and will have a closer look at aspiring politicians, who start their career at council level.

That's where they get introduced to the system.

It's really a pity that not enough attention is given to corruption. Even when people do care, it's always focused on “the other side” doing it, and closing an eye (or both) when it's an ally (or perceived such).

People need to be (made) aware of the fact that an individual that can be corrupted isn't on their side, not even —or maybe espeicallt even— when they seem to be: corruptible individuals only care about themselves, and what they can sell to get the next bribe —and you can count on that being the supporters they've managed to gather.

But how do you get people to pay attention?

Here's a great example how corruption is the breeding ground for sexual abuse (see last paragraph for info about corruption).
