Simply put.. enterprise corruption is covered up by the state and the church.. by pretending to want something other than what they both want.
Enterprise corruption is covered-up by any and every means possible. At some point in time every level of interaction between leaders and followers takes on the role of invisible defense attornies in enterprise corruption trials. The only way the defense of enterprise corruption can succeed is to make it seem otherwise.
Cooking The Trial
- Unsequestered juries
- Juror #4
- The Birmingham Times
Unsequestered Juries
The judge in the HealthSouth trial didn’t sequester the jury.
Judge Obus didn’t sequester the jury in the Tyco trial either.
But Judge Obus had a reason and a reason is all it takes to do anything at all. His reason was that juries didn’t like to be sequestered.
He also had a second reason in case the first reason didn’t hold water. His second reason was that jury sequestering is usually limited to trials where the defendants are accused of enterprise corruption and organized crime.
But if you remember back to the One Count In The Tyco Case Will Be Dropped page the number one count in the trial was.. enterprise corruption.
Judge Obus thought the number one count against the defendants in the Tyco trial was too confusing for the jurors.
Obviously the number one count against the defendants in the Tyco trial was also too confusing.. for Judge Obus.
Leaving the jury unsequestered told the jurors that there was no organized crime or enterprise corruption to witnessed.. during this trial.
Now the state-media stepped in to play its role of invisible defense attorney by focusing their lenses on everything that isn’t considered enterprise corruption which included the following:
- a $6,000.00 shower curtain
- a lavish (professionally filmed?) birthday party in Sardinia (this was actually part of Tyco’s “exit-plan”)
- a yacht purchase
- a private-jet
- greed
- adultery
- girlfriends
- paying for girlfriend’s apartment
None of these charges constitute enterprise corruption and that is why all of them are the center of focus throughout the trial.
And a juror that is not sequestered gets to see these charges over and over again on television broadcasts and in print media.
The private-jet charge always angers a working-class jury because it provides mental imagery and smacks of extravagance and privilege but it is not enterprise corruption and that is why the private-jet offense gets an abundant amount of state-media coverage.
Greed is also a terrific charge if you want to divert attention from enterprise corruption. Greed is not “too confusing” for juries.
The jurors in the HealthSouth trial got to read the Birmingham Times (complimentary subscription?) every morning before their trip to the courthouse.
And the defendant in the HealthSouth trial bribed the Birmingham Times to print favorable and flattering stories on his behalf some stories written by the defendant himself.
But the judge and the prosecutor in the HealthSouth trial had a reason why bribing a newspaper was not a problem and a reason is all it takes to justify any behavior.
Reason: Bribing a newspaper to print flattering stories about you during your trial.. is not a crime.
And in the case of HealthSouth a courtroom packed with clerics doesn’t hurt either.
These are examples of how the entire system covers-up enterprise corruption.
The primary function of media is to cover-up across-the-board, systemic, enterprise-wide financial corruption. The media makes certain the enterprise corruption is too confusing for jurors by making certain that jurors understand trivia and pop-culture.
This website may be one of the reasons judges in enterprise corruption trials make sure they sequester juries in the future.
Trial Timing
The timing of the trials of corporate executives is determined by the third-branch (aka: the judicial branch). The enterprise corruption trials are timed to coincide with pop-culture, popular trivial events, and morality-plays which is defense.. by distraction.
There is little to no argument with the fact that state-media is obsessed with trivia and avoidance of indictment for the charge of enterprise corruption is the reason for that.
This ensures that enterprise corruption will be too confusing for future juries.
The reason the charge of enterprise corruption goes unpunished is so it can.. happen again.
Public distraction is a key part of the defense mechanism.
Enterprise corruption is fairly well concealed. Single greedy individualism, personal extravagance and blue-collar street-crime is very widely publicised.
The “Single Greedy-Guy” Defense
Enterprise.. or individual?
Somehow entire foreign-nations are built due to the efforts of one single greedy-guy.
Sorta weird how America’s “statesmen” put so much faith, trust, and responsibility on the shoulders of individuals (George H.W. Bush, Ann Richards, Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger, Al Gore, Robert Ruben & Kenneth Lay, Newt Gingrich & Richard M. Scrushy, Warren Rudman & Mark Belnick) who are later discovered to be nothing more than single greedy-guys. and “fools”?
Nothing confuses a jury more than choreographed, recorded, and well-publicized examples of personal extravagance and greed.
There is a historical and financial reason Eliot Spitzer named his dogs Jessie & James.
Everybody expects somebody to be greedy and this makes eventual admission of accounting fraud.. easier to accomplish.
Why would a “greedy” businessman, politician, or statesmen draw the line at industrial and economic treason?
The [failed] system that is in place to expose and punish the enterprise-wide accounting scam is in itself.. a scam.
By admitting enterprise corruption occurred due to the “failure of the system,” and failure of government, and failure of regulation, and lack of oversight, and failure of the “grand experiment,” the “system” provides itself with a pre-fabricated excuse.. for further failure.
The court of law is the system.
It’s perfect.
As Judge Ashcroft instructed the prosecutors in the enterprise corruption trials: The Perfect Is The Enemy Of The Good
How can one succeed in taking a legal system (that openly admits its own failure).. into a court of law?
“Failure of regulation”?
The legal system.. is the regulation.
And failure was the goal.
The laws available to the plaintiff are legislated by the same people who openly admit their own failure.
But.. to make it even more perfect, the failed system passes even more legislation to ensure that those affected by the failure can’t criticize the system.
Notably and ironically.. legislation that censors.. has never failed.
Government has learned from history that censorship legislation.. is very successful.
The 3rd branch of government’s primary function is to time enterprise-wide financial corruption trials to coincide with popular culture.
Nobody has ever attempted to, or succeeded in winning a suit that accused the government of complicity in enterprise corruption.
Media and culture shield enterprise corruption
Enterprise corruption is surprisingly easy to pull-off
It is not difficult at all to divert the public’s attention with trivia and pop-culture.
Covering up white-collar crime by diverting the public’s attention with trivia is not necessarily conspired. There are plenty of naturally occurring trivial events in the nation for the state-controlled media to aim their attention and their cameras at.
Enterprise corruption may be to confusing for a jury but media makes certain that juries understand pop-culture.
Laundry Days
To sum it up the third branch of government coordinates laundry.
Expectations Gaps
In 1974 the individual who became the General Council of Ernst & Young coined the term “expectations gap” for the fact that the public thinks accountants are supposed to catch crooks, while the accountants.. said they weren’t.
Class-Action Lawsuits
The purpose of a class-action lawsuit is to make certain that knowledge of what really happened stays.. at the tip of the iceberg.
The Fog Of Accounting
Traditionally the fog of war comes on the heels of the fog of accounting.
Distraction & Diversion
While you were watching our diversion we were busy pretending to fail.. big time.
The Iraq War Was Largely About The Oil?
Alan Greenspan wrote in his book “The Age of Turbulence”: “I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows. The Iraq War is largely about oil.”
Greenspan was pretending to “spill-the-beans” and come clean on the reason for the Iraq War with a tell-all comment and a tell-all book that is written to tell little.
Tell-all books that tell little and pretending to spill the beans is an old but effective trick.
List of books and authors of so-called “tell-all” books that only spill about 5% of the beans:
- Paul O’Neill (The Price of Loyalty)
- Richard Clarke (Against All Enemies)
- Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code)
- Woodward & Bernstein (All The President’s Men)
- Bernstein (A Woman in Charge; The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton)
- Michael Moore (Sicko)
- Kurt Eichenwald (Conspiracy of Fools; A True Story)
Notice how tell-all books aren’t banned for purposes of national security? The state-media couldn’t promote the Da Vinci Code enough. In reality, “national $ecurity” is the primary reason tell-all books that don’t tell all.. are written.
The Iraq War was not about “what everyone knows” as Greenspan pretends to confess.
The Iraq War was not “largely about the oil”.
The Iraq War was about.. what very, very few individuals know.
The Iraq War was about:
- covering up a decade of intentionally-permitted Medicare fraud
- covering up Tenet Healthcare
- covering up HealthSouth Corp.
- covering up Ernst & Young and “Pristine Auditing”
- covering up the cover-up with Attorney General John Ashcroft’s “The perfect is the enemy of the good”
- covering up the FBI and the Justice Department’s protection and coverup of HealthSouth Corp.
- covering up enterprise corruption
- covering up.. the enterprise

The Blue Dress
While the state controlled lenses were aimed at the Clinton Lewinsky morality-play 61 corrupt energy companies were quietly upgrading India’s energy infrastructure.
Enterprises That Don’t Want To Touch Enterprise Corruption
- Publishers
- Judges
- Prosecutors
- Investigative Journalists
- Print Media
- Liberal Media (note: the media is only state-controlled during times of war)
- Conservative Media (note: the media is only state-controlled during times of war)
- Hollywood (with the single exception of an obsession with small-scale enterprise corruption committed by fictitious Italian stereotypes)
Out of fear of enterprise reprisal nobody wants to touch enterprise corruption.
Do a search and you will notice that for the most part the only institutions that touch the subject are white-collar defense attorneys advertising their services to free potential clients from indictment from the charge of enterprise corruption.
Writ of Habeas Corpus
Historically every time government is about to be busted for enterprise corruption it enact laws.. to cover it up.
It is illegal to publicise it.
This offers one of the best reasons why enterprise corruption is too confusing for jurors.
Government has to be let off the hook for enterprise corruption by any and all means possible.. to be able to do it again.
