If you study the last 200 years of American history—especially the chapters dealing with mafias and organized crime—you will notice a very interesting pattern. You will see that whenever a city became completely soaked in corruption, when oligarchs or mobsters had bribed politicians and the police from top to bottom, the state was forced to send in someone entirely fresh and new from outside the city and appoint him as the chief of police, because he had no ties to the local population or to the corrupt networks that controlled the city.

The best example of this pattern is the legendary story of Eliot Ness—the man who came from the outside and shattered the mafia’s kingdom in Chicago. In the 1920s, Chicago was drowning in corruption: the police, the judges, and the officials were all connected to Al Capone’s criminal empire. The city could not clean itself from within, and it was impossible to do so, because everyone was somebody’s relative, acquaintance, or friend (sound familiar?). Chicago desperately needed someone from the outside—an “outsider,” as they say in English—to clean the city and restore order. That is precisely why the U.S. federal government brought in a man whom the Chicago mafia could neither bribe nor intimidate: Eliot Ness. He was a young officer from outside the city who assembled a small team, mostly made up of newly graduated academy recruits, which later became known as “The Untouchables”—men who could not be bribed or corrupted (the famous film is named after them).

They struck the mafia’s business from the roots—shutting down illegal factories, cutting off alcohol supply routes, destroying bootlegging networks, and carrying out numerous actions that cost Capone and his criminal empire millions of dollars every single day.

They did not personally put Capone in prison, but they did something just as important: they broke his power and showed that he was not invincible. And once that happened, it became much easier to finally arrest him on tax-related charges. Eliot Ness’s role was crucial for one simple reason: he owed nothing to anyone, he was tied to no one, and he feared no one. When a city can no longer clean itself from within, only someone who comes from the outside can do it. Ness became the symbol of a truth: when a system rots from the inside, real change begins with the will and determination of an outsider.

That is why my deep inner conviction—especially in the past five years—has always been that only a repatriate who grew up abroad can become the future leader of Armenia. This is the only solution for a corrupt state that is rotten to the core and filled from top to bottom with traitorous neo-Bolsheviks. Only someone entirely from the outside can build a youth-based “Untouchables” group in our country—one capable of uprooting corruption and degradation, and by cleansing the Homeland of all traitors, establishing order and founding a truly national state. If you are looking for solutions to our problems, do not try to reinvent the wheel—simply learn from the countless examples history has already given us.
