The Czech Republic has the privilege to have a dissident who, having suffered under communism, has turned his back. Nevertheless, Petr Cibulka started to claim that the only possible way out of the decay the Czech Republic was and is experiencing is the Swiss model of direct democracy that, in my opinion, doesn’t work even in the Swiss culture. And also, a right-wing policy. In one political show, he was adamant: “This is a criminal government!” This insinuates that nobody wants to give him space in the media. And the Czech TV host connected to the British power groups sarcastically declared: “Of course, a criminal government. What else?”
The files of Czech agents you don’t need: You must have a sideric pendulum
Václav Havel was an GRU agent, POTUS is a KGB agent. Mr. Cibulka started to be a target of ridicule. He had released the files of Czech communist agents (in reality), but you don’t need them. All you need is a sideric pendulum you can uncover Russian spies with (and Russia controls the world) and so on. No need for any files.
Just for the record, the sole superpower USA has its CIA which has the largest operational scope and unlimited budget. While Mr. Cibulka helped dissolve communism, his recent outcries are irrelevant.
But he was right: Wherever you live, your government is criminal
No meta-ethical discussions. No moral nihilism lectures, no total utilitarianism. This goes from a common morality standpoint.
Thus, governments, big banks, and elite families often commit acts that many view as criminal or deeply unethical from a common morality standpoint. While these activities are frequently disguised as governance, policy, or economic progress, they serve primarily to consolidate power and suppress dissent. Beneath the surface lies a web of corruption, exploitation, and systematic inequality that spans the globe. Here’s a detailed exploration of these activities and their far-reaching consequences.
Corruption and cronyism: Severe financial crimes make government criminal
Corruption is the lifeblood of many governments and institutions. Public funds are siphoned off into private accounts, bribes flow freely to grease the wheels of power, and policies are shaped by the interests of the few rather than the needs of the many. Because at the heart of this system are crooks, lobbyists, and movers-and-shakers who operate behind closed doors. These individuals influence legislation, procurement contracts, and regulatory frameworks to benefit their elite clients.
Cronyism and clientelism are rampant. Leaders appoint loyalists and allies to key positions, ensuring that justice systems, regulatory bodies, and law enforcement serve their personal interests. Judges, district attorneys, and investigative agencies are often complicit, shielding powerful individuals from accountability while targeting whistleblowers and political opponents. This creates a dual system of justice—one for the elite and one for the rest.
Economic crimes and the global exploitation network
Economic crimes form the foundation of elite dominance. Tax evasion by multinational corporations and the super-rich deprives nations of vital revenue, forcing ordinary citizens to shoulder the tax burden. Money laundering allows illicit funds to flow through global financial systems, often with the complicity of major banks. These crimes are not merely technical violations; they perpetuate inequality and weaken the very fabric of society.
The Global South is particularly vulnerable to exploitation. Wealthy nations and corporations extract resources—oil, minerals, agricultural products—from developing countries at rock-bottom prices. Debt traps ensure these nations remain dependent, with loans structured to benefit creditors rather than borrowers. Trade agreements favor the Global North, leaving the South with environmental devastation, poverty, and a legacy of underdevelopment. This is not merely exploitation—it is a form of modern-day colonialism.
Criminal government: Wars, torture, and the use of violence as policy
Governments frequently use violence to maintain their power or achieve geopolitical goals. Wars are often waged not for defense or humanitarian purposes, but for economic gain, territorial expansion, or political influence. Behind the justifications of “freedom” or “security” lies a brutal reality: the destruction of lives, communities, and nations to serve elite interests.
Torture, though widely condemned, remains a tool of statecraft. Secret prisons, or “black sites,” operate beyond the reach of international law, where detainees are subjected to inhumane treatment. Extraordinary rendition allows governments to outsource torture to regimes willing to do their dirty work.
Special operations and covert activities further blur the line between legitimate defense and criminal behavior. Assassinations of political leaders, sabotage of foreign governments, and targeted killings of inconvenient individuals—activists, journalists, or whistleblowers—are routine practices. These actions are justified under the guise of national security but serve to suppress dissent and eliminate opposition.
Media control and the propaganda machine
In the modern era, the media has become one of the most powerful tools of control. Owned by a handful of elite families and corporations, media outlets shape public opinion to align with establishment interests. They amplify government narratives, suppress inconvenient truths, and distract the public with sensationalism and trivialities.
Propaganda is carefully crafted to justify wars, economic exploitation, and authoritarian policies. Critics are discredited, dissenting voices are silenced, and narratives are tightly controlled. This manipulation feeds conspiracy theories, as secrecy and media bias erode public trust in institutions. While some conspiracy theories are baseless, many are rooted in legitimate grievances and evidence of corruption and collusion.
Suppression of dissent: Silencing opposition
Governments (criminal governments) and their allies actively suppress dissent. Whistleblowers who expose corruption or wrongdoing face imprisonment, exile, or worse. Journalists who challenge the establishment are harassed, censored, or even killed. Protest movements are criminalized, with leaders arrested and participants labeled as extremists or threats to national security.
Mass surveillance has become a key tool for suppressing opposition. Governments monitor communications, track online activity, and use advanced technologies to predict and disrupt protests. Under the pretext of preventing crime or terrorism, these measures create a climate of fear and compliance, discouraging ordinary citizens from speaking out.
Environmental destruction
The pursuit of profit often comes at the expense of the planet. Governments approve large-scale projects that destroy ecosystems, displace communities, and contribute to climate change. From deforestation and mining to industrial pollution, the environment is sacrificed to serve corporate interests.
The consequences of this destruction disproportionately affect the Global South. Communities lose their homes, livelihoods, and access to clean water. Meanwhile, wealthy nations and corporations reap the benefits, perpetuating a cycle of exploitation and inequality. They often silence environmental activists who challenge these practices, further highlighting the moral bankruptcy of this system.
Manipulating democracy: The illusion of choice
Democracy is often a façade. They manipulate elections through voter suppression, gerrymandering, and fraud. Campaigns are heavily influenced by money, with corporations and billionaires funding candidates who will serve their interests. The result is a system where policies are determined by the highest bidder, not the will of the people.
Lobbyists play a central role in this manipulation. They draft legislation, influence regulatory decisions, and ensure that laws favor the elite. Think tanks and political action committees further amplify their influence, creating an illusion of grassroots support for policies that harm the majority.
Big Banks and super-rich families: The hidden rulers
At the heart of this system are the big banks (which are interconnected) and super-rich families. These entities control financial markets, dictate monetary policy, and shape the global economy. Their influence extends into politics, media, and culture, ensuring that their interests are prioritized above all else.
Through media ownership, they control narratives and suppress dissent. They shape laws and regulations through lobbying. Through philanthropy and think tanks, they influence education and public discourse. Consequently, this concentration of power undermines democracy and perpetuates inequality on a global scale.
A system built on injustice
Indeed, this system is not a series of isolated incidents; it is a carefully constructed network of power and control. Governments, corporations, and elite families work together to maintain their dominance, often at the expense of human rights, environmental sustainability, and social justice.
To explain, the Global South is exploited. The environment is destroyed. Dissent is crushed. And the majority of people are left struggling while the elite grow richer and more powerful. From corruption to wars, from media control to economic crimes, these actions reveal a system designed to serve the few at the expense of the many.
Are you sure your government doesn’t do any of these things? Every government is criminal
To summarize, no matter what Petr Cibulka came up with lately, he is right in one thing: the Czech Republic government is criminal. And are you sure your government isn’t?
As a matter of fact, corruption, clientelism, economic exploitation, and suppression of dissent all make it hard to argue otherwise. Cibulka believes the Czech Republic is uniquely plagued by these issues, proposing solutions like direct democracy and right-wing policies as a way out. But while his focus remains squarely on his homeland, the reality is far broader and far grimmer: every government is criminal.
Governments worldwide share the same patterns of abuse. Whether it’s through backroom deals with corporations, suppression of dissenting voices, or wars of aggression disguised as noble causes, they operate to consolidate power, not to serve the people. The Czech Republic may be mired in its own scandals and decay, but it is hardly an outlier.
Also, no matter where you live, no matter what political system your country claims to have, the story is always the same: governments, big banks, and elite families work together to dominate, exploit, and suppress.
So ask yourself: are you sure your government doesn’t do any of these things? Are you truly confident it isn’t complicit in the corruption, exploitation, and injustice that define modern power structures?
So we all know the truth: every government is criminal—it’s only a matter of how well they hide it.
