Murder of U.S. Ambassador in Benghazi Libya on 9/11

''Either We Stand For Something Or We'll Fall For Anything''

Keeping Them Honest

A man you will rarely have seen or heard much about until recently was Walter M. Shaub Jr.

He was, until yesterday, Director of the OGE (Office of Government Ethics.)

You can call it that branch of government which keeps the politicians honest.

It continually reminds those in Office of the law and of compliance with high standards of ethics in their public and private dealings.

However it does not just enforce compliance, little known, it has helped many politicians resolve sometimes embarrassing situations or conflicts without publicity – on the basis of non-repetition and their lack of experience or ignorance about procedure and law with regard to transactions or dealings.

The reason for his resignation is Donald Trump - whom he believes has turned America into a 'laughingstock' in terms of hypocrisy, duplicity or double-standards and rogue government.

Trump, in his usual fashion, has, as with former FBI Director Comey, hit back and accused Shaub of being a publicity-seeker.

I repeat, Shaub's only 'crime' was to ask Trump and his family members in the White House to comply with ethics standards. Far from doing this, President Trump has not 'divorced' himself of his considerable financial conflicts of interests and has hit back at Shaub accusing him of being part of an anti-Trump 'conspiracy' and of being a publicity-seeker.

Shelter From The Storm

Shaub, I can say, from research, rarely hits the spotlight, is not a publicity-seeker and has always worked quietly in the background on behalf of the country – not a tyrant - or personal loyalty to any individual.

He would run a million miles from any gangster or Mafia-class attempting to subvert the ethics public office.

It is sad (some will say deeply troubling) to see probably the most respected man on Capitol Hill resign and make such utterances about incumbent President Trump and how he (Trump) is bringing not just the White House but America into disrepute - worldwide.

It is unheard of for the former Director of OGE to make such utterances about an incumbent or retired President and no President since the turn of the last century has been so publicly criticised by so prominent an individual as Shaub.

[If I read between the lines I would further add that the disreputable individuals (some might say gangsters if not by name then by deeds) which Trump has invited or nominated to run America should sound alarm bells that the U.S. Constitution - and it's institutions - are all now in grave peril.]

'Laissez-faire':

'A Time For Everything' say's The Grim Reaper

[Song Of Solomon]

Trump and his entourage know nothing about government nor its dedicated servants. My guess is that they (his Staff) have nothing but contempt for all government appointees or civil servants whom they see as obstacles to their turning of the United States of America into a 'laissez-faire' business Casino for the President, his family and their billionaire friends.

Trump was particularly angry (incensed?) at the OGE's insistence of his financial compliance and that he divulge his assets for public scrutiny.

This was what probably spelt the end of Shaub's career as Director.

It is in tribute to this devotion to his work that I am re-publishing President Trump's full accounts as released to OGE – which you can download from

Further Research

If you are a Senator, Congressman or Congresswoman you will already know how to focus on any aspect or data for further interpretation, research or analysis but it is highly likely that there are individuals out there who might be able to contribute useful additional information to some aspect of the disclosed accounts in the public interest – since President Trump is unlikely to be giving any cooperation voluntarily.

Dark Days

I said, rather disparagingly, that it was a very 'dark day' for the White House - and for America - when President Trump and his family moved in.

Even I could not have realised the full extent of how true this is now turning out to be.

The Crumbs Falling From The Rich Man's Table

I again must say that I started off liking Donald Trump. I had read several of his books by early 2016. It was only when it became apparent that he would claw his way into the White House by scapegoating those least able to defend themselves that I 'switched back' to supporting Hillary Clinton. His policies were at best hollow and based on 'divide America' by 'engineering' the left to fight the right, mistrust between 'haves and have nots' have the poor, the dispossessed, those with nothing but anger fight each other for the 'crumbs' falling from the billionaire's table – and blame it all on 'them' to fuel hatred and divisions – keeping the focus away from the real objectives of the Trump administration – Mammon himself, his family, for the billionaires surrounding him at home and abroad.

Trojan Horses

[I cautioned that even The Ukraine would be 'sold' for 'thirty pieces of silver' to corporate interests - purporting to 'invest' in the country - and which themselves would ultimately be sold to the Russian Federation on a 'lease-back' arrangement.]

''Either We Stand For Something Or We'll Fall For Anything''

I only became aware of 'the Russia scandal' 'on the grapevine' about last June or July and it took about two months to confirm what I was reading was actually true and causing alarm amongst agencies tasked with protecting America.

As I said quite frankly, the only request which Trump did not make to the Kremlin was to kill or 'assassinate' Hillary Clinton. He called on them to do everything just short of it – including releasing all the emails which, through a sleeper-surrogate (this has now been shown to be highly likely if not fact) had been passed to Wikileaks:

''Wikileaks! ... I love Wikileaks!'' (U.S. Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump.)

''For Whom The Bell Tolls...It Tolls For Thee''

(I also cautioned that as soon as Wikileaks 'outlived it's usefulness' to Trump, it would be 'Game Over' – either shut up or come onboard. 'Keeping Them Honest' only applied subverting the democratic process.)
