Obamagate: objurgating Obama [officials]...






Obamagate, Russiagate. Get your popcorn ready: winter is coming. Bigger than Benghazi (ignored), bigger than the IRS scandal, bigger than Fast and Furious (and many MANY more).  Game of Thrones may be over but another saga will soon play out: THIS is unbelievable... maybe in fiction: these are crimes, not just corruption; it's not Joe Bloggs, it is the ex heads of the FBI, CIA, NSA and Obama himself. We know that Obama knew about the spying etc (in fact probably starting it!) but the heads of those US Intelligence agencies were prepared to spy on US citizens based on what they knew were false 'justifications' (Hillary's Steele dossier). The Last Refuge (Conservative Treehouse) has the Declassification Directive and Current Event Timeline… [LINK] FISA docs could be declassified within a week or so... perhaps even timed to hit the news just as he Donald hits the UK shore. I really do not think Treason May* wants to be around as PM then...


"diplomatically speaking, it would say a great deal about the overall opinion of the administration toward the U.K. if President Trump declassified documents prior to the British state visit considering U.K. involvement might very well be outlined within them."

Though "No-one really knows the extent of the current documents and/or information that may be subject to a Trump declassification request" [LINK] we do know that "Theresa May's spy chiefs were briefed on explosive Christopher Steele dossier before Donald Trump" [DT LINK].



Obama maybe should know that “The man who fears losing has already lost.” ;-)



[edit] * another reason she is determined to stay tied into the EU? Shunned by the US?

Orchestral overtures...




Orchestral manoeuvres in the park; could this work in local government? Harry Phibbs reflects** on the words of Derek Myers, chairman of SOLACE (the trade union for Council Chief Execs) who in turn was commenting on how councils could learn from the example of orchestras where 'all the players are self-employed and see themselves as part of a company';


"...This sense of community promotes high standards. Peer pressure seems to encourage the relatively indolent, and identifies those who need to be eased out. Promotion owes nothing to length of service and everything to talent."

Efforts toward employee engagement are nothing new but the public sector is a different animal; obviously in an orchestra it is far easier to notice when someone isn't quite right; in truth I find it difficult to imagine many council employees really 'encouraging' their no so keen colleagues; I personally think we are 'too far down the road' to enable the success of such moves.



** Harry also reflects on the hypocrisy of the BBC and the Left re tax avoidance.
