I was curious what “cadre deployment” was, so. If you are too:

Simply put, “cadre deployment” is when a political party sets out to achieve its strategic and ideological, goals by spreading its influence [read control] across all spheres of society by placing party activists in positions of power in institutions of state

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that our media only started to consider this a bad thing after 1994...

Similar story in the UK during the summer.

Water companies are owned by foreign asset funds who wring every drop of profit with no thought for the future.

Similar story in California. Water rights were divvied up in the late 1800's early 1900's and farmers got the lion's share. They're growing alfalfa in the desert.....

Victim-blaming is Propaganda 101. Or, as our mainstream media likes to call it, "balanced reporting."
