A
State Department web page ad for president Trump’s Winter
White House and
former General Flynn’s receipt of $45,000 from the Russian media
equivalent of PBS for a talk in 2015 have fueled Democrat Party
attacks on the administration. If N.P.R. paid a member of a foreign
government for an interview or talk (only joking), because its a
quasi-governmental organization that foreigner might just have a
problem. Problems of capitalists in government is a rich topic for
the Democratic party leaning American branch of the global media.
Former
Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s opposition to the secure border control wall
on the Mexican border known as Trump’s wall presents an example of
a conflict of interest they’d rather ignore. Speaker Pelosi is in a
labor intensive business growing grapes in California that uses cheap
Mexican labor extensively. Her position to help herself in public
office rather than national interests seems likely.
Democrats enjoy a good feud with
Russia and have made Trump administration relationships with Russians
subject to investigation. As a way to try to kill two birds with one
stone. The idea that the Democrat Party is especially ethical is of
course farcical, even so one would prefer good ethical by government
officials while they are in office. N.P.R. receives financial support
from the U.S. Government while their political affect is not at all
to develop secure nationalism.. If they had to be a self-supporting
organization that relied solely on public contributions to exist
their content and delivery would be different. They could be a co-op
rather than owned by global corporations. What they should not be is
an informal branch of the U.S. Government that can swingingly promote
social economic terrorism on individuals if they prefer.
General Flynn’s payment from the
Russian media is a bone of contention. The felony word is thrown
about a lot. I am not sure if he would be in such trouble if the
payment was from the B.B.C. or C.B.C. The media itself is probably
full of ethics issues regarding payola, and obviously commercial
advertising itself is intended to influence politics and consumerism.
Banks receiving zero interest loans from the Federal Government that
lets banks loan out five previously non-exist e-dollars for each
e-dollar deposited in their bank by the Fed raises some ethics
concerns too when many people need to work for an hourly wage and
don’t get a boost from the Federal Reserve. One wonders if any of
those bankers have foreign investments or are foreign themselves
insofar as they are in part owned by foreigners. The General was
supposedly skillful at special forces missions. Maybe he wasn’t so
skillful and global financial flummery (an old logging term regarding
chutes/flumes with running water used to send logs to various
destinations-logs are representative of cash). He said he didn’t
conceal anything from the D.I.A. when questioned about the mission to
Russia
The Democrat Party since Bill
Clinton’s administration has advanced immoral conduct generally as
a new normal. The founders revolted against British law, so when
Democrats elected a British educated lawyer evil things were sure to
become insinuated into the system. The funny thing is that rank and
file democrat mob voters lose out most as party leaders cut taxes on
the rich and pursue globalism, imperialism and anti-nationalism as if
those things were good for the nation. Democrats have made
nationalism a dirty word while they try to seriously to keep
perennial conflict with Russia fueled and alive.
I
might expect comfortably rich Americans to accept things the way they
are with wealth concentrating and democracy transitioning into
corporatism-socialism with real political power moving abroad to a
plutocratic planetary village. If Democrats got any traction with
their ethics charges and accomplished more than creating the media
appearance of actually trying to get anything done that would
substantially improve the national fiscal situation for government
and individuals that would, and in some way they retook political
power in the House that failed to get a wall built, there same
ethically soiled hands would just resume passing out pork and running
up debt again. They have a different, less entrepreneurial style that
can better avoid conflicts of interest. People that are used to
making a profit have to learn to stop doing that when they take
office; except to support profit for the people they govern for whom
are, after all, supposed to be the vast majority of citizens that are
not I the top 10% earnings bracket.
If President Trump can legally not
disclose his tax returns then there is no obligation to do so. His
tax returns might disclose a lot about his business works and
techniques that have enabled him to earn as much as the market
average the past 40 years. I suppose a pure look into his business
structure is equivalent to looking at proprietary code for Microsoft
that they used to try to keep secret-at least for windows. Public
domain works and personnel are different that those of private
enterprise.
When Americans want to harm people,
besides dropping bombs or launching missiles on them, they seek to
cause financial harm. Thus getting a look at President Trumps tax
information might be a way his opponents could search for ways to
start causing financial injury.
On the issue of Ivanka Trump working
in the White House and is that ethically o.k.? President Kennedy
appointed his brother Bobby the Attorney General. Hillary Clinton was
given to lead the efforts to bring Clintoncare to the voters.
Presidents obviously enjoy continuing working relationships that
existed before they took office or promoting relatives so far as they
can get away with that. While Ivanka Trump might one day be a
Presidential candidate or maybe run for the senate, one hopes that
won’t occur since the basic common trend of politicians to promote
relatives to high office simply isn’t good for the nation. Ivanka
Trump as a trustworthy adviser to the President doesn’t seem like a
problem. If she had been appointed to lead the Federal Reserve or
Treasury then the public would need to be concerned.
