Corruption: When U See Something, Say Nothing!

 


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Capital One Financial (COF.N)

, opens new tab hit back on Friday against a lawsuit over its decision to close ‌the Trump Organization's bank accounts years ago, stating that it did so after a review by anti-money laundering experts.
The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money laundering concerns to U.S. President Donald Trump's family business. Capital One is seeking to dismiss ​the case by casting doubt on claims of illegally debanking — or denying services on religious or political grounds — ​the Trump Organization.

And here we are as American citizens 2026, watching helplessly as a government we once suspected of corrupt, greedy, unfair practices now flaunt their disregard for rule of law in plain sight for all to see. Democratic foreign governments understood early the "Quid pro quo" policies being pushed to do business in America and have taken steps to offset any losses. 

Meanwhile, American citizens are left feeling the squeeze not only financially, but in their all-around health, as well as the health of the country. 

- Because of an underlying propensity to be greedy, and because the human condition seeks advantage, there is no shortage of corruption — and its pernicious consequences — in the contemporary universe. But no political jurisdiction can function on behalf of its citizens and stakeholders if its leaders and middle managers are focused on private gain rather than public enrichment. Instead, bridges collapse, roads crumble, food is tainted, organs are peddled for profit, police self-enrich at roadblocks, marriage and birth certificates become costly, and the very fundamentals of a safe and secure life are compromised.

And yet we still see those corrupt ones in high government positions continue to lie, excuse, and defer in order to avoid accountability for war, disease, food & fuel prices, unconstitutional/illegal federal job cuts, Immigration and Customs Enforcement killings, and the list goes on growing by the day. We must continue to keep a light on the truth while this unwelcome darkness fueled by greed passes through. The world is watching, and I'd like to believe most are keeping us in prayer.
