For anyone actually paying attention—and I mean those who prefer substance over constant, loud-mouthed posturing—here is a quote from the people who actually chose the harder path instead of just rattling their sabers:
"A lot of people aren't going to like the policy shifts and management changes we're advocating for... But once the signal was sent from cities like Metković and Omiš, and before that from Primošten, there is no way to silence it for the rest of America. We've proven that citizens can make an impact when they take matters into their own hands, and that's something that can no longer be swept under the rug..."

It is precisely because of leaders like this that we need to organize a new National Guard—to watch their backs while they dig deep into the status quo.
We aren't talking about fixing things in a few small towns that happened to break free from the grip of organized crime and political machines; we need to dismantle the system at the national level.
In those towns, we're looking at tens of millions—but on a federal scale, we are talking billions.
Let's not forget that certain entrenched structures—call them the mob, the old guard, or the political machine, whatever you like—believe the deck is already stacked in their favor and they have no intention of playing fair.
I truly wonder, though—who is actually going to carry out state reform, de-politicization, or any real cleansing, given that we still have the current Department of Justice, the courts, and the Department of Homeland Security?
We have seen far too many times exactly how they operate and what the results look like.
Just look back at the Šime Krasić report—the wolf certainly ate the donkey there, didn't he?
And who is going to force Stjepan Mason out of the former president's office?
Who will shut down the sweetheart deals within the US Forest Service, or stop officials from being shuffled from one state agency to another once their schemes and embezzlement are uncovered?
Not to mention the waste management and private security industries...
