Ethics Gate - The Evidence - The Head Of The Snake In Plain Sight

The Ethics conference is a direct link to the truth and the people involved

Guest Column–Gerald Evans (Bio and Archives) Saturday, November 3, 2012

The media used to be the 4th leg of government. When the media does its job we all benefit and the truth wins. When it fails to do its job lies and corruption ensue. I, like many Americans, watch with frustration the news and see broadcasters more interested in celebrity status, entertaining rather than doing their jobs. Spin and propaganda have replaced stories now reported as news to promote the agendas of the current Administration, the networks and company owners. True investigative reporters are ridiculed and silenced.

It is time for citizens to take action to force change upon the system. Janet Napolitano is promoting a security campaign advertising the message “If you see something, say something” to Americans citizens. We saw something and now we are saying something. It is not what Napolitano had in mind but is none the less important for every one of us to know.

In September 2011, we were in Florida and witnessed the 18th Annual Government Ethics conference taking place in Orlando. The 851 Government representatives attending appeared to be having a great time at the conference enjoying the Florida sun and learning about ethics. The theme of the conference was “Lessons from the Private Sector”, and was outlined in a Rutgers University School of Law White paper “Compliance and Ethics Programs for Government Organizations” prepared by Rutgers University dated December 2010. We asked for a copy of the White Paper and were given the document along with conference material, including the agenda and the attendee list distributed at the event. It was a document publicly displayed and was given for the asking.

As shown in the agenda, members of the Administration and the attorney general’s office attended the conference and participated in the program. Their presence alone is significant. This is direct evidence that they influenced the conference and consequently the attitudes, decisions and actions of everyone in attendance. The conference was well attended by representatives from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the DOJ, Inspector Generals, NSA, FBI, FAA, CIA, Department of Veterans Affairs, DOD, DOE, DHS, GSA, ATF and many other agencies. What is interesting about the news reporting the DOD’s involvement with military absentee ballots, the FAA’s message to its employees and the Department of Labor unemployment numbers? These groups attended the Ethics conference and specifically covered the 2012 election as an agenda item. One wonders what was actually discussed at this Ethics conference. What was discussed about the upcoming election? What was the real influence of the Administration on the FAA, DOD and The Department of Labor? When Chris Matthews hammered Jack Welch on MSNBC and requested evidence to back up his allegation that the unbelievable job numbers were fabricated, this ethics conference ties the administration directly, not only to the Department of Labor’s unemployment numbers, but also the FAA, DOD and DOJ. In fact, it connects the Administration to every Government agency recently in the news surrounding outrageous conferences and violations. The Ethics conference is a direct link to the truth and the people involved.
