Is There A Financial Collapse In Our Immediate Future?

According to some sources, there are currently more Americans on government assistance programs than at any other time in the history of our country. There are currently 77 different welfare programs in existence and the list of programs keeps expanding every year.

The Federal Reserve (a private corporation disingenuously dressed up to look like a department within the U.S. government) continues to print money out of thin air. It routinely makes toxic adjustments to a monetary system that has been broken for so long, the average American cannot even recognize the inherent dysfunction within the financial system’s design.

The current political system is incapable of fixing the financial problems that continue to grow because we have a two-party system (really a one party system) that answers to an elite power structure that has designed and implemented the financial catastrophe in progress.

Why is this happening? Why does the average American citizen have little to no idea that a major collapse in the entire financial system is right around the corner? The answer to both questions is that what is currently unfolding has been planned for a very long time and has been designed to occur so that the common people will not suspect a problem prior to the devastating event. The current system was designed to fail in order that a global currency could be introduced so the elite power structure, running the planet, would have greater control over the slaves (world citizens).

We are a country that runs on debt. Debt, by the way, equates to slavery. In order for our sick and twisted economy to prosper, the people already in debt have to go further in debt. In other words, the slaves need to get more financial shackles attached to them than they currently wear. This is the way the elitists designed the financial system, and it is the major reason the entire house of cards will eventually come tumbling down leading to civil unrest and a lot of unpleasant conditions in the streets of America. If the average American citizen lost access to his or her credit cards, there would be fighting in the streets already.

Do you think this is a crazy conspiracy theory that will never come to fruition? Think what you want, but the agenda continues right in front of our eyes regardless of our abilities or lack thereof to recognize the telltale signs of the financial depression directly in front of us.

Mainstream news agencies will continue to lie to the American public about the financial climate as well as other important subjects. And the sad thing about the entire situation is that most of us will continue to believe and trust the so called respected news sources that are ultimately owned by three or four elite-owned corporations. Because the real power brokers running things control the companies that influence and control public perception, they, ultimately, control reality.

So, when all of these welfare programs are suddenly and without warning pulled — watch out! It’s not going to be pretty. The austerity measures that are around the corner are not going to be embraced with open arms as they say.

Belief Systems: What Do We Really Know About Them?

Quite a few of the topics I have written about are sensitive subjects in the minds of most people. As human beings, we have varying degrees of emotional attachment to the individual components that make up the very fabric of our reality. The subject of religion is one such subject, within that fabric, many people feel strongly about.

It has been written by some scholars that there are so many formalized religions throughout the world that it is difficult to count them. Each one of these “belief systems” is accepted by its members as a legitimate explanation about spiritual reality. In more simplistic terminology, it could be written that each religion believes it is correct and that all of the others are wrong.

Most of us have very minimal knowledge about the belief systems we have embraced or accepted to be reality. We have learned most of what we do know about a particular belief system from our parents or because a priest/preacher/rabbi has demanded that we do so.

Once we have accepted certain belief systems and welcomed them into our lives, it is absolutely natural for the concepts to be reinforced by the members of our immediate community. The belief systems eventually become attached to our core beliefs and from that point forward, we tend to aggressively defend such concepts until the very day we leave this planet.

Our emotional attachments to various belief systems are quite strong. We are often more than willing to fight to the death to defend such concepts. (Almost all the wars that have taken place in the world have had something to do with religious beliefs.)

A Double Standard Exists

I have always found it interesting to note the reactions people have when confronted with different types of information. On numerous occasions I have witnessed students, professionals and others routinely demanding a certain level of proof when assessing comments or claims being made. These individuals apparently needed the information they received to be scrutinized for a high degree of accuracy. Obviously, these folks wanted to make sure that the “claims” in question were “the real deal.” Their rationale for having everything validated in such a careful manner was to satisfy personal or professional standards.

The same individuals, in other scenarios, would suddenly and without warning dismiss their high standards when assessing equally important information that impacted their lives. I found this to be especially true when the information in question was attached to a specific belief system. It has always fascinated me to watch this process unfold. An important, ancient event that allegedly took place several thousand years ago was not being scrutinized by the same people using the same set of standards because they chose to accept the ancient information via blind faith. Meanwhile, the present day claim was being assessed by them using a completely different set of standards.

I can guarantee that if I went on top of a mountain and claimed I had heard the words of a divine angel and I then reported my experience to the members of the media, I would most certainly be laughed at and not taken seriously. Another person making the same claim several thousand years earlier, with no one around to witness the miracle, is regularly given a free pass and their story/information is believed to be genuine by most people in society. Why the double standard and why do so many of us believe that miracles only occurred during ancient times?

A few years ago, one of my students asked me if I believed that life existed outside the confines of our Earth. I replied to the student in the affirmative and gave the reasons for my beliefs. The student, who was very religious, explained to me that most of the people that had written about such experiences had allegedly established communications with the supposed extraterrestrials through a medium known as channeling. The student wanted to know why I believed in something that was so ridiculous. I proceeded to answer his question by asking the young man another question that I already knew the answer to. I asked him if he went to church on a regular basis and he replied that he did. I also asked him if he prayed in church and at home. Once again he replied yes. I then asked the student if he thought someone or something was listening to his prayers and if he expected the prayers to be answered. The student paused for a moment and then responded with an affirmative nod. I took that opportunity to explain to the individual that he was sending and receiving channeled information every single time he said a prayer and perceived that he received an answer. I then asked the student if he thought the act of praying was ridiculous. The young man declined to answer me.

It might be too painful for many of us to question certain things that we have embraced in our lives and decided a long time ago were valid or not. This is human nature – the way we are wired! I think it is important that every person makes an effort to assess all information fairly, using the same set of standards regardless of whether the data is current or thousands of years old. By doing so, we will have a much better chance of attaining a truer understanding of where we have come from, where we are, and where we might be headed as a civilization. What do you think?

And the Next President of the United States will be….Mr. Robama Obamney

The 2012 presidential election is fast approaching and everyone seems to be getting excited about the big day. Unfortunately, there’s not anything to really get excited about because both candidates are essentially the same bad choice for America.

The election process is an illusory exercise at best designed to convince American citizens that they have a choice in selecting their commander-in-chief. And that they do. They have a choice to pick one of two men that will, for the most part, be a puppet manager for the ruling elitists that really run the world.

Just as Michael Moore put out his documentary film (“Fahrenheit 911”) in 2004 that showcased the shortcomings of President George Bush, Dinesh D’Souza has created a movie, “Obama’s America: 2016” that critically examines the leadership style and philosophy of the current president, Barack Obama. Both Moore and D’Souza’s creative works have a similar agenda in that they attempt to convince an American public that there is something suspect about the current president of the day. This strategy is regularly employed, financed, and widely promoted by the corporate media that is owned and operated by the global elitists.

The ultimate goal of the ruling elite is to install a puppet (U.S. President) that will continue to serve their wants and needs. And make no mistake about it, the next president, like the ones prior, will not serve the needs of American citizens. He will serve the puppet masters behind the scenes.

The next president of the United States will support the Federal Reserve System that is currently in place along with the current banking practices attached to Wall Street. As long as that philosophy remains in place, the elite are quite content.

Sure, there are subtle differences between the latest two political “opposames”.  And depending on your political affiliation, these differences might be important enough to you to cast a vote in one direction or another. But in the grand scheme of things, subtle differences such as these are not at all important to the real controllers of the global construct.

This November, once again, Americans will pull voting levers while incorrectly believing that they have a real choice. What they will have is an opportunity to pick a president that is completely acceptable to the real power structure that influences world events.

And the winner of the 2012 presidential election will be – Mr. Robama Obamney!

When Conventional Answers Fail to Explain the World…Read David Icke!

We live in a complex and dynamic world filled with never ending streams of news headlines that, more often than not, depict negative events. Grab any newspaper or watch the television newscast of your choice and you will be hard-pressed to find a story that makes you feel good about the state of the world or even your immediate community. On top of this, we usually catch up with these negative news reports as soon as we get up in the morning or right before we go to sleep, late at night. The information streams, supplied by national media companies, are considered very important by most Americans. They are the fundamental tools we rely on to help form our reality construct.

With so many stories simultaneously taking place locally, domestically, and internationally, it’s often difficult to keep track of everything going on in our crazy world. I use the word ‘crazy’ because that’s the way things often appear when we attempt to make sense out of all the negativity transpiring on our planet.

Although most people are aware of the fact that mainstream news feeds have a repetitive theme of doom and gloom, it’s hard for many of us to understand that a lot of what’s taking place is, completely, connected.

Years ago, when I attempted to follow certain events transpiring in the world, through the eyes of our national media, I’d often develop a headache from all the confusion and mayhem. It’s no different today. A war in Afghanistan; tensions between Israel and Palestine; global, economic systems in sudden collapse; totally bizarre weather patterns; nuclear disasters; the list of confusing stories is never-ending.

Everyday we are alive, worse news than the previous 24 hours has usually occurred.  The conventional, scripted answers about world events, offered by our ‘trusted’ media sources, seem to fall drastically short in their attempts to explain what’s really taking place on any given day.

Several years ago, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon the website of British author, David Icke, who had authored some lengthy books about the global manipulation of the world by certain, elite families. When I first began reading Icke, I thought he was really out of touch with reality. His explanations about the world were literally (and I’m not kidding) out of this world.

The one thing I noticed, almost immediately, about David Icke was his superior research skills. I remember thinking that he, quite possibly, was the best researcher I’d ever encountered. Another thing I noticed about Icke was that he was a very gifted communicator. Whether it was the writings in his books or various presentations he created on radio and video, this man could take very complex concepts and make them easy to understand.

For those readers that aren’t familiar with this author, please take the time to visit his website at www.davidicke.com where you will find many free articles and videos that will get you up to speed on the world according to Icke.

Many years ago, I began to read David Icke’s books. They were fascinating texts that instantly made sense out of what I previously perceived to be nonsense. His theories and accompanying research backed up his unorthodox views and helped me to “connect the dots” so that I could finally understand how the world really worked.

In a nutshell, and I am being extremely brief with my synopsis of this individual’s incredible work, Icke explains how a group of very advanced inter-dimensional, reptilian extraterrestrials came to earth, a very long time ago, and genetically engineered modern human beings from primitive creatures that were roaming the planet at that particular time. The prime motivation for these genetic alterations, by the alien race, was to create a durable slave being that could be relied upon to perform mining chores and other work details. The reptilians were interested in certain resources the earth offered and the new human species was designed, specifically, to help them accomplish their campaign of securing these assets.

Icke’s research explained how the reptilians created another genetic variation of human beings that were very similar to their own DNA signature. Although these beings looked human, they were more easily controlled by the reptilians, because of their genetics, than regular humans. Their ability to be controlled so easily by the reptilian aliens was the primary reason they were intentionally inserted into the human culture as world leaders. In time, these beings became the people let loose to rule the masses. They became the elite family bloodlines – royalty.

According to Icke, the ruling bloodlines are still in control on earth and are, themselves, being controlled and manipulated by the reptilian, alien masters. The people we elect into office, at the highest levels of government, according to Icke’s research, are the direct descendants of aristocratic (alien) bloodlines and continue to be manipulated by the reptilian aliens.

Coming from our current, manufactured perspective of reality, most people would probably dismiss Icke as a raving lunatic. His theories might seem more like bad, science fiction than an explanation about what’s happening in the modern world. But if you can be open-minded enough to get over the drastic shock that will certainly challenge your core beliefs, you will begin to appreciate just how brilliant David Icke really is.

What I have come to finally understand, after sifting through years of reading materials that Icke and other researchers have compiled, is that the traditional stories we have been fed to believe about our world, through so-called official, respected sources, are more far-fetched than anything David Icke has ever uncovered about reptilian aliens. When we take a close look at what we think we know about our world and the various beliefs we harbor, we will discover that the history we’ve been taught is, pretty much, a giant leap of faith. We’re clinging as a society to various religious stories and supposed scientific explanations that, quite frankly, have more holes in them than Swiss cheese.

So, if you’re really interested in learning about a different perspective of reality that makes sense out of everything taking place in the world…read David Icke.

Just Fix the Damn Economy!

NoFakeNews5 Comments

There is absolutely nothing normal about the current economic crisis. The economic problems we are presently observing are not the result of normal cycles or peaks and valleys within a healthy global or national economy.  The situation that has surrounded us, and threatens to forever change our way of existence, is the result of a very well contrived plan that has been put into action by a ruthless and very calculating group of elitists that manage the world economic picture from the top down.

A large number of business men and women are presently hurting from the recession/depression. The unfriendly economic climate and the hurt being felt by many people are likely to get a lot worse in the months and years that follow unless the leaders of our country and around the world implement real strategies that will provide us with critical adaptive measures to counteract a rapidly changing global economy. I do not know about you but I am not very confident that government leaders are going to come to our rescue. In fact, I expect the exact opposite to occur. I see government playing the same role that it has played all along. That course of action has allowed the current global economic problems to develop into a state of crisis.

The elite’s plan is progressing pretty much as it was designed and the politicians, those that are aware of the conspiracies taking place and even those who are unaware of them, are the great enablers of our time ultimately allowing the current unhealthy, economic conditions to remain in place.

Any smart business person will tell you that one of the keys to becoming successful within a given business structure is to manage your finances correctly. While it might be important to take calculated risks from time to time in order to become profitable down the road, it must also be understood that every business risk warrants a certain amount of analysis or consideration to determine if the actual risk is worth a possible reward. In other words, you sometimes have to spend money to make money however; you better make sure that you spend the money wisely.

If you or I make a bad business decision we ultimately must pay the price for our error in judgment. Whatever that price might happen to be, we have to suck it up and adapt to the problem we created. This type of accountability keeps us honest and it gives us a good reason to be prudent when making any future business decisions that might affect the viability of our respective businesses.

Debt is the real enemy and a state of slavery is created for those people or entities that are constantly immersed in unmanageable debt. The United States and the other countries that make up the world’s economy run on a system of constantly increasing debt. The problem, as I see it, is that our country is loaded with unmanageable debt and that the amount of debt keeps growing every minute of every day. Our country is a slave to debt (the Federal Reserve System) and so is every citizen in America.

A few years ago, some of us became very excited about the “stimulus packages” the U.S. government implemented in an attempt to help our nation’s economy. On the surface, these strategies may have looked like they were helpful. In reality, they were driving the finishing nails into our country’s financial coffin. The dollars that were created by the Federal Reserve System and then placed into circulation were literally created out of thin air. They were not backed by anything of substance. These funds were immediately assigned to our national debt and they became a liability for U.S. citizens the same day they were printed.

The rationale behind the stimulus concept was that some companies in America were perceived as icons and deemed “too big to fail.” In other words, they had to be rescued by the government because the damage that would have resulted if such companies collapsed would have been extremely detrimental to the health and morale of the United States.

If we look at the concept that a business is “too big to fail” strictly from a small business person’s point of view, it is easy to see that this philosophy is quite flawed. A small business that is no longer profitable and continues to lose various amounts of money is commonly redefined as a hobby. A smart business person will usually shut down a business once it is no longer profitable. In my opinion, the same philosophy should have been used by our government when it addressed the large companies that had been designated as being “too big to fail.”

The decision to continuously reward failing companies with bail out money was a poor decision on the part of our government. In true capitalistic fashion, a company that has made poor business decisions should be held accountable for such decisions and should ultimately have to deal with the consequences originating from their actions. The size of the company is irrelevant when it comes to philosophical business principles. Companies that continue to make bad business decisions will sooner than later be out of business. If the United States did not have the ability to print an unlimited amount of fiat money it would have been out of business years ago. The fact that it can continue to print an unlimited supply of money means that the rate of inflation in the United States will become even more unbearable for its citizens than it already has become.

If the leaders of our country wanted to truly fix the economy, they would have to make two fundamental changes to a system that has been designed to enslave the masses. The first item of business that should be enacted is to allow open competition in currencies such as with gold and silver (the precious metals). Congressman Ron Paul has made this argument for a long time and his reasoning behind the argument is quite sound.

Once gold and silver were allowed to be sold and used as a legal currency, the Federal Reserve System would be forced into halting the inflation of our dollar. The elimination of fiat money (currency printed on demand and essentially backed by nothing of substance) should be the second item of business to be addressed. This could ultimately be accomplished if Congress would have the guts to pass a resolution calling for the abolishment of the Federal Reserve Act.

If we truly have a desire to restore balance in our economy and create a currency that is not constantly subjected to extraordinary inflation we will need for America to be placed back on the gold standard so that our money is backed by something of substance. The current system is corrupt and allows for hyper inflated dollars to be created out of thin air by a group of elite overseers. Implement these strategies and our financial/economic system will begin to heal over time and you can take that to the bank!

One final change that needs to occur is the reversal of the philosophy that maintains certain companies are “too big to fail.” If we get rid of the companies/organizations that are draining the economic system and we just let the system fix itself we will see a healthier economy. A capitalistic government has no business bailing out banks or any other companies utilizing socialistic props!

The Apollo Space Program: Astronauts or Astronots?

NoFakeNews9 Comments

By Dr. John L. Reizer

Editor at NoFakeNews.net

On July 20, 1969, NASA’s Lunar Module (Eagle) touched down on the surface of our moon and astronaut, Neil Armstrong took one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind. Television anchor, Walter Cronkite kept Americans informed of the latest mission developments as human beings, for the first time ever, walked on the surface of a celestial body other than Earth.

But did it really happen the way we’ve been led to believe? Does the photographic record of NASA’s Apollo Program represent the truth? Did men visit the lunar surface, scoop up moon rocks, and return to Earth with those trophies?

Authors Mary Bennett and David S. Percy, in their book “Dark Moon: Apollo and the Whistle-Blowers” convincingly explain the theory that NASA faked the moon landings throughout the Apollo program because they didn’t want the public to see what was really happening on the lunar surface. They also contend that NASA had serious challenges with escaping the earth’s radiation belts and, to this day, still do. This particular obstacle has precluded manned, deep space missions from taking place and was the real reason the space shuttle missions were designed. According to Bennett and Percy, NASA’s been trying to solve the radiation problems for years during shuttle missions.

Bennett and Percy believe that the United States did manage to successfully send two astronauts to the moon that unfortunately died from radiation poisoning before completing the journey back to earth. That mission was performed in private while the faked Apollo missions were filmed in studios and later broadcast as if they were live television feeds coming from the moon. The authors say that even the people working at mission control believed the Apollo transmissions were coming from the moon. Only a few people knew the truth.

Some of the alternative theories that challenge NASA’s historical record have been addressed by the space agency. NASA officials claim that when the astronauts visited the moon, they left reflective mirrors near the landing sites and that scientists on earth have been bouncing lasers off those mirrors for 43 years.

Bennett and Percy argue that the reflective mirrors only prove that someone went to the moon. They don’t prove Apollo delivered the astronauts to the lunar surface.

In July, 2009, NASA released photographs of the supposed landing sites for each of the Apollo missions that were taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Critics, that have viewed the photos, claim the images could have been digitally edited. The photos, unfortunately, have poor resolution making it hard to view important details that would positively identify the remaining portions of the lunar module’s descent stage. Critics have also questioned why NASA, with its highly sophisticated cameras, hasn’t produced close-ups of the landing sites.

In 1994, NASA’s Clementine spacecraft photographed the entire surface of the moon and, in doing so, discovered what appeared to be large artificial buildings on the lunar surface. These photographs appeared to be obfuscated by sophisticated techniques but the artificial structures were still positively identified by Steve Skipper and published on his website, www.marsanomalyresearch.com.

After looking at the obfuscated lunar pictures from Clementine, it’s hard for some people to trust the integrity of the photos, offered by NASA, showing the Apollo landing sites.

It’s hard to imagine that a government agency might not have been completely transparent when discussing the Apollo program with its citizens. Of course many Americans don’t buy into any conspiracy theories whatsoever. To do so would be much too painful for them. Only NASA knows for sure what transpired 43 years ago. Was it, in fact, a giant leap for mankind or just a giant lie?

Just Thinking Out Loud: Would They Tell Us About an Earth Changing Event?

NoFakeNews4 Comments

By Dr. John Reizer

Editor at NoFakeNews.net

An earth changing event is about to take place. It’s not the first nor the last time this sort of thing has happened. According to ancient records being closely guarded and kept out of the public domain by certain world leaders, the coming event will not destroy earth, but many people will die. The passage of the event will cause massive planetary changes, affecting most forms of life. At first, these changes will be barely noticeable. Later, as the event draws nearer, the earth changes will grow in intensity and the people of the world will begin to notice that something is not quite right.

Members of the media will offer conventional explanations for the changing weather and environmental conditions. Government agencies will assure their citizens that everything taking place is perfectly normal and there’s nothing to worry about.

The leaders of the world, aware of impending doom, have long ago made a collective decision to remain silent and not alert citizens, living within their respective nations, about what is happening. It’s important to understand that there’s absolutely nothing that can be done to stop this event. To alert the people of the world is to risk worldwide panic. This sort of civil unrest could ultimately be very dangerous for people in positions of power. Riots, looting, and acts of aggression might be directly focused at world leaders.

The powers that be believe that if the general public knew massive earth changes were in motion and that life was going to be drastically changed, most people would not report to work or bother to pay their mortgages and taxes. The entire global infrastructure would likely collapse and create a hellish situation for any person in a position of authority.

The really important members of society, the elite families that have run the world for longer than most people realize, will attempt to ride out this nightmare situation in subterranean security bunkers. Their plan, very simply, is to exit such shelters after the event so they can reclaim their positions of power and wealth. They have instructed their puppets, the elected officials running various governments, to keep quiet and conduct business as usual.

By the way, are you going to watch major league baseball’s All-Star Game this week? And how much money do you think Tom Cruise had to cough up in his divorce settlement?  Who do you think will host American Idol next year?

Whistleblowers and Wrongful Termination Lawsuits: How the Laws Protect Employers

NoFakeNewsLeave a comment

By Dr. John L. Reizer

Any person that has ever had the unfortunate experience of taking on a company over a wrongful termination issue knows how frustrating the process can be. If a company has unfairly removed you from your job, the chances of seeing justice served through the U.S. legal system are slim to none.

Even when plaintiffs have an airtight case and a ‘smoking gun,’ so to speak, for evidence, it’s quite difficult to defeat companies over wrongful termination issues in a court of law. Legal expenses alone make it impractical for most individuals to fight for their rights or, in many cases, the rights of others. In addition, the costs involved with assembling a legal team, solely dedicated to fighting an individual’s private cause, are frightening. On the other side of the fence, big corporations usually have ample funds and can easily outlast individual plaintiffs that might be brave enough to launch lawsuits against them.

If, for example, Joe Blow is unfairly terminated from his place of employment because he blew the whistle on company administrators, after observing fellow employees being exposed to dangerous working conditions, he might find it virtually impossible to seek justice for his premature and unfair dismissal in a court of law.

In many states, employees are hired ‘at will’. This means that most employees can be terminated for virtually any reason and without recourse. In a lot of situations, the level of accountability for supervisors and administrators, of a particular company, is next to nothing.

The hardest concept for workers to comprehend is the fact that supervisors can fire them on the spot for any reason whatsoever. The supervisors are aware of how the labor laws protect them from employees during wrongful termination disputes and aren’t afraid to communicate this fact to employees.

The laws of the land, in many instances, are a direct product of earlier legal decisions. The legal decisions handed down, yesterday, through the courts are the legal precedents cited by present day attorneys. If a whistleblower is successful in proving his or her case through a court of law and is fortunate enough not to get the decision overturned in a court of appeals, the case could, potentially, set a legal precedent and be the key component cited in future cases. It is for this reason that the ‘little people’ sometime make the tough decision to go after big corporations that have harmed them. It’s not always about winning a monetary award. Sometimes affected persons believe it’s just the appropriate course of action to take. Thank goodness there are individuals that have the guts and stamina to standup for what’s right. It’s, perhaps, the only way the little guy can ever hope to change unfair and unethical laws.

Many corporations, unfortunately, have the financial resources to protect themselves from lawsuits brought about by former or current employees. In a nutshell, the laws have been designed to protect big corporations. In the past, many judges have ruled in favor of corporate America. Their legal decisions have definitely created precedents that practicing attorneys point to when defending big companies against plaintiffs like Joe Blow.

Even in situations where corporate abuse is blatant, it’s often difficult to get cases into the courts. Companies will go to great lengths in order to protect their public images as well as the images of CEO’s and other executive officers. Image is everything to big corporations and they’ll take extreme measures to protect themselves.

If a particular company cannot intimidate a plaintiff into submission; dismiss the case through a legal technicality, there’s always the old fashion option of settling with the little guy. ‘Hush money’ is an important option used to protect a corporation, as a last resort, from what executive officers view as the most damaging scenario – a court room.

A corporation that is, on the rare occasion, forced into a courtroom setting always loses regardless of the final verdict. In the courts, companies ultimately lose what they value even more than money – a good image. Once in the courts, everything becomes a matter of public record. The emperor, in a sense, is unclothed at this stage of the game, and all the dirty details are permanently released into the public domain.

Enter the settlement phase of a lawsuit, with its accompanying non-disclosure agreement, precluding Joe Blow from ever uttering a word about his case or said company again. You see, once Joe Blow is paid off by the corporation, to keep his lips permanently sealed, the corporation wins. Joe signs a contract in exchange for a monetary settlement that legally prohibits him from ever broaching the subject again. Once Joe signs on the dotted line, there’s no courtroom, no verdict, no legal precedent and most important, no change to the way the courts view corporations, in similar situations, under the law.
