16 February 2019. The exposure of Ukraine’s cancerous corruption continues to be chronicled.
On 03 January 2019 we loaded a container in Midvale, Utah that was going to distribution points in Chisinau, Moldova.
It has been customary for us to use the seaport of Odesa, Ukraine for any containers going into eastern Europe. We had found that to be workable and we wanted to give business to Ukraine.
BUT NO MORE! Why? Look at how corruption in Ukraine has driven us away from using Ukraine’s seaports.
“Hi John, You won’t believe the new issues with Ukraine, having such an issue with transit from Ukraine to Moldova on Elena’s load. This is a transit container move and no inspections are to be given until the container arrives in Moldova. But the shipping volume through Odesa Port has fallen and all those who use to get ‘something under the table’ are not getting their bribes. So now they are inventing new requirements. Now they want an ‘Inspection Certificate.’ This has NEVER been asked of us previously on any transit moves through Port Odesa. But now with port traffic diminishing suddenly new requirements are popping up and of course these problems could vanish with the ‘under the table’ gift.”
Add this to the list of abominations that we have posted that are observed in Ukraine’s corrupt government and assisted by the bureaucrats who are more concerned with improving their financial status on earth than in “laying up treasures in heaven”! These will get their “rewards” on earth as the “under the table” bribes are received but they are laying up “treasures of God’s wrath” in eternity. The Bible promises, “Because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render TO EACH PERSON according to his deeds” (Romans 2:5).
Let the TASK GROUP, Odesa Port Manager, Politicians, and Bureaucrats scoff and mock these words but be assured YOU will be the object of God’s wrath!
Because of this unrelenting and ever-increasing corruption, I have directed that no more shipments go through Odesa Port until substantial corrections are evidenced.
We have many ports from which to choose and have already begun communication with Romania on the use of her Constanța Port and its satellite ports.
This ought to be a troubling and embarrassing fact for Ukraine. But corruption knows no shame!
Romania is known for the rampant corruption and oppressive police-state under Ceaușescu’s heinous reign. BUT NOW Romania is more preferred than Ukraine!
Ukraine, how do you feel about your nation’s reputation?
Ukraine is…More corrupt than Ceaușescu! More vindictive than Ceaușescu! More insensitive than Ceaușescu!
Ukraine, are you prepared for the wrath that is to come?
Look back in the posts on this Blog and reread the narratives of corruption (#1, #2, #3 and #4). Post #6 is coming!
I am asking you to pray that God’s Justice strikes soon the politicians, bureaucrats, and national government that oppresses the needy, innocent, elderly, and disabled!
“Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow”
(Isaiah 1:17).
