Ron Unz: How corrupt are Ivy League admissions? In the last generation or two, the funnel of opportunity in American society has drastically narrowed, with a greater and greater proportion of our financial, media, business, and political elites being drawn from a relatively small number of our leading universities, together with their professional schools. During this period, we have witnessed a huge national decline in well-paid middle class jobs in the manufacturing sector and other sources of employment for those lacking college degrees, with median American wages having been stagnant or declining for the last forty years. Meanwhile, there has been an astonishing concentration of wealth at the top, with America's richest 1 percent now possessing nearly as much net wealth as the bottom 95 percent. read more
On Wednesday, 150 federal and state agents raided The Scooter Store headquarters in New Braunfels, Texas. Last year, former employees told CBS News the company's main goal is not to help patients -- it's to pressure doctors into writing prescriptions to boost profits. Once a doctor has written a prescription, Medicare rarely verifies whether the chairs are actually necessary. Former employee Brian Setzer described the process this way: "Bulldoze and get them to get the paperwork done." read more
Astounding that every other race, religion and ethnicity can have their own clubs and scholarships and organizations, but when one establishes a broad 25% Caucasian requirement, it makes national news as non-politically correct.

IMO, the phone companies have done something very illegal, too. It's not like all phone lines run through CIA headquarters. They can only be tapped from a phone central office. Who's authorizing it there without warrants? I'd like to know that.
While they may not run through CIA headquarters, they do run through the Israel firm Amdocs who absurdly gets access to all USA phones and billing records. But like everything in our corrupted country the real perps and story are kept under covers and the story becomes one of Left vs Right or D vs R, when it should be U versu I.

Madame Nancy Pelosi.....Why weren't the Dems obsessed with Bush's failures on 9-11?
Why did you take impeachment of Bush / Cheney off the table when their actions, loyalty and allegiance were highly questionable?
Or more importantly, why were not the Dems and Repubs both obsessed when a foreign but allegedly friendly "ally" attacked and killed 34 of the USA military on June 8, 1967, when Israel egregiously attacked the USS Liberty and LBJ and Congress covered it up?
Have we forgotten that the USA needs to be led by Americans for America? Every American should examine this: www.usslibertyinquiry.com
so what's the answer.

More direct accountability. Too much "let's look forward instead of looking backward" which does not hold the perps accountable.
1. Both Parties need to enact legislation that encourages and protects whistle blowing in government and the private sector. Legislation has never been done.
2. More enforcement actions against all public servants and elected officials that results in mandatory loss of pension and job when and if they are convicted of a felony associated with their duties in office.
3. More use of citizen grand juries instead of DAs and in house commissions for crimes by members of government (pols, police, judges, etc).
4. Any corporation found guilty of major fraud should face mandatory exclusion from government contracts and lobbying of Congress. Charges need criminalized against officials instead of civil charges against the corporation and shareholders.
