The Fraud of American University Accreditation....Part I.

There is a major problem in the United States with Accreditation. They claim they are legitimate but our current social condition and results have proven how really false that is. With the most recent University massacre at Virginia Tech killing 32 innocent Students and Teachers, not to mention the many other school shootings and killings across the United States; in which I personally witnessed a student gunned down at Weber State University in Ogden Utah, is proof in my mind that Accreditation in America’s Higher Education Institutes, with just this one issue, the gun debate, has always lacked any creditability!

What is Accreditation and when did it begin? According to this site:

http://www.acpe-accredit.org/edcenter/sitevisits/accreditation/overview.htm

 {Definition and History: Accreditation is the public recognition awarded to universities and academic programs that meet established criteria and educational standards. Accreditation decisions are based on evaluations whose purpose is to provide a professional judgment about the quality of a university or academic program and to promote institutional improvement. In other words, accreditation's main goals are to assure and enhance quality.

Accreditation in the United States has a long history that has developed into a voluntary system which is unique in the world. The first regional accreditation agency started in New England in 1885; the first specialized accreditation agency was founded in 1907 by the American Medical Association; and the first accreditation standards were developed in 1910 by the North Central regional accreditation agency. Today, the Department of Education reviews all accreditation agencies every 5 years to make sure that they meet core requirements, but in all other respects, every U.S. accreditation agency is unique and free from government control in its day-to-day operations.}

Given that the Department of Education reviews Accreditation Agencies and is part of the Government goes to prove that Government does control Accreditation; despite their hypocritical claim that Agencies are free from Government control. And since the Government is employed by people who come from Accredited Universities, and those so called people are a product of Accreditation, why then all the scandals, the lies, the stealing, the murdering, wars, and the idea that Democracy and freedom is a treasure, when in fact it has tarnished into a mass of National Trash.

The myth of Accreditation being able to give graduates its stamp of recognition is a fraud. In reality Universities merely sign a few papers, and make a payment or a bribe to an Accreditation Agency in order to give them the authority to be listed as an Accredited School. The prize is that they can get Federal money for students. The University with its broad stroke authority is left with the responsibility in providing legitimate education that should include ethical conduct and correct principals toward education. In fact Universities don't care, because their boys are elected in Office and no one is going to challenge them if they don't follow Accreditation guidelines.

Accreditation has no authority to enforce its standards, has no authority to tell Universities what to do, and is basically nothing but a good ole boys network with no oversight organization requirements for Accreditation Agencies to adhere to. This is how the government and military establishment forces it will on the public.

One only needs to mention the numerous scandals:

Enron, Arthur Anderson, Harkin Energy, WorldCom, Halliburton, Fannie Mae, Exxon, Phar-Mor, Xerox, Epicurum fund/Parmalat, AIG, Royal Dutch Shell, Compass Group, Adelphi Communications, AOL Time Warner, Bristol-Myers Squibb, CMS Energy, Duke Energy, Dynegy, Global Crossing, Homestore.com, Kmart, Merck, Mirant, Nicor Energy, Peregrine, Qwest Communications, Reliant Energy, Tyco, Credit Suisse First Boston, Martha Stewart, HealthSouth Corp, The 50 billion dollar Ponzi Scheme by Bernie Madoff and Associates,  the 700 billion dollar bank bailout caused by the lies from the Mortgage Industry that has caused the US Economic Meltdown. Then to have newly elected President Obama usher in another whopping 787 billion stimulus debt to try and jump start a failed US system. Given these numerous scandals, one I haven't mentioned is one of the biggest corruption cases in US history, having been the terrorist attack of 911.   And so people who do these scams are University graduates from the so called American Accreditation System!!

What a sham it is when the US Government will use Accreditation to control the schools that represents their ideas. While there is no law that schools have to be accredited; non-accredited schools are not eligible for financial aid. Their non-accreditation comes because they do not want to be controlled by the Government, and they believe in teaching things that are really creditable, while Accredited Schools prohibit such teaching.

The accusation that non-accredited schools are not real schools couldn’t be more further from the truth.

America’s Constitutional idolization of the gun sure has not proven guns stop wars, stops massacres, stops drive by shootings, stops domestic violence, stops bank robberies, stops police from murdering blacks, stops assassinations, of our Presidents Abe Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, John F. Kennedy, and later his brother Bobby, stops the killing of our Civil Rights Leaders Malcolm Little, also known as Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, or stops anything for that matter except the victims in their tracks.

What kind of an Education system do we have that honors the right to have guns, while claiming Accreditation authorizes them to do so while people pile up in the county morgues? It is like a Religion to worship the God of Gun. Something is morally wrong with that! And let’s not forget assassination attempts to kill Presidents, Andrew Jackson, Theodore, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan.

Should we be surprised, that Accreditation began with the early big time Universities such as Columbia, Princeton, Yale and Harvard, who really got their start from trafficking opium to China, with this really being the cause to the start of WWI which proceeded to WWII. Accreditation in America is to authorize the legal right to be crooks, drug dealers, and murders. It is far from being an Accreditation that is honorable and ethical.

Instead Accreditation means to educate from a hypocritical point of view, instead of recognizing that there is a right way and a wrong way. In America, freedom is the elixir in which getting away with doing bad is OK, while doing good is boring and humdrum.

Our Government leaders are as incompetent, and they are suppose to hold the letter of the law and bar of that legitimacy, since they are products from those so called Accredited Institutions.

There is a huge list of so called graduates from Accredited Universities who have broken the law, broken their own rules to infringe upon the American people. Jack Abramoff - Pled Guilty - Sentenced to Minimum of 5 Years, 10 Months, Claude Allen- Arrested for Theft - Pled Guilt, Richard A. Berglund - Pled Guilty - Sentencing to One Year of Probation and Fined $2,500, Ed Buckham - Named by Prosecutors as Unindicted Coconspirator, Lester M. Crawford - Pled Guilty - Sentenced to Three Years Probation and Fined $90,000, Duke Cunningham - Pled Guilty - Sentenced to 8 years, 4 months incarceration, Tom DeLay - Indicted - Trial Pending Appeals Decision, Brian J. Doyle - Pled No Contest - Sentenced to Five Years in Jail, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo - Indicted - Trial Pending Appeals Decision, Robert Fromm - Named by Prosecutors as Unindicted Coconspirator, Shaun Hansen - Pled Guilty - Sentencing Scheduled for April, Vernon Jackson - Pled Guilty - Sentenced to Seven Years, Three Months in Prison, Representative William Jefferson (D-LA) is being investigated for bribery, wire fraud, bribery of a foreign official and conspiracy to bribe foreign officials, according to a May 21, 2006, Adam Kidan - Pled Guilty - Sentenced to 5 Years, 10 Months, Thomas Kontogiannis - Named by Prosecutors as Unindicted Coconspirator, Scooter Libby - Convicted- Sentencing Set For June 5, 2007, Chuck McGee - Pled Guilty - Time Served, John T. Michael - Named by Prosecutors as Unindicted Coconspirator, Bob Ney - Pled Guilty - Sentenced to 30 Months in Prison, Brent M. Pfeffer - Pled Guilty - Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison, Allen Raymond - Pled Guilty - Time Served, Tony Rudy - Pled Guilty - Status Conference Scheduled for August 3rd, David Safavian - Convicted - Sentenced to 18 Months, Michael Scanlon - Pled Guilty - Status Conference Scheduled for June 5th, Roger Stillwell – Pled Guilty – Sentenced to Two Years Probation and Fined $1,000, James Tobin - Found Guilty on Two Counts - Pending Appeals Decision, Neil Volz - Pled Guilty - Status Conference Scheduled for April 26th, Mitchell Wade - Pled Guilty - Status Conference Scheduled for September 10, 2007, Brent Wilkes - Indicted- Trials Pending Appeals Decision, Bernie Madoff.

It is such a disgrace to think these government officials have committed these acts, while bigger fish are still being reeled in namely Dick Cheney, George Bush, Marvin Bush, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Rudy Giuliani, Larry Silverstein, Andrew Card, Donald Rumsfeld, William Kristol, Douglas Feith, and others who are connected to this organized crime administration.

Then we have those who have resigned from Public Office. It is quite shameful to see Foreign Countries such as China to honor past US Presidents who held degrees from Prestigious Universities, while they were as corrupt and vile as you can get. Richard M. Nixon disgraced America with his resignation of the Presidency in order to avoid prosecution, comes to mind, having been credited in opening up US and China relationships. He is the guy who carried on Lyndon Johnson’s crimes in Vietnam and Cambodia, slaughtering 7 million Vietnamese, and 58,000 US American troops. Then with his Watergate Scandal, lying about breaking into the Democratic Committee Offices; he is also responsible for wire tapping and spying allegations.

And while I am on the resignation topic, I would like to mention the long list of University Graduates from the United States who resigned from the George W. Bush Administration. They left amidst scandals during the crimes committed by the Bush Officials. Given the US China Relationship during the 8 year Bush Administration, it behooves me to question the Chinese Governments lack of awareness to such an incompetent US Administration. It flies in the face toward Beijing’s Regulations that give notice that Foreigners who work in China are required to have BS, or BA, or higher degree standards. In fact I know several people who do not have degrees simply for the sake of knowing that if we had one, it would implicate us to the crimes they committed, since they came from the same Accreditation Process that all University Students go through.  In fact if Accreditation is what it claims to be, which is suppose to be morally, and ethically resolute, how is it so many people committed crimes, and or resigned to escape prosecution from them? It tells me Accreditation is a fraud in the United States....

Let’s not forget,

Colin Powell’s resignation: Powell is the most prominent of four Cabinet officials whose resignations were announced Monday by the White House.

The others were Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, Education Secretary Rod Paige and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham.

One of Powell's best known moments as secretary of state was his speech last year to the U.N. Security Council in which he made a case for invading Iraq.

He said that Saddam Hussein was still developing weapons of mass destruction despite years of U.N. disarmament demands. Those claims about Iraq weaponry were never borne out.

 

And

Karl Rove: Rove has been subpoenaed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee investigating the firings of some U.S. attorneys, but the White House said Rove, as an "immediate adviser" to the president, cannot be ordered to testify.

Clearly Rove resigned because of mounting pressure.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, the committee's chairman, issued a statement following Rove's announcement saying "Rove has acted as if he was above the law."

Leahy added, "There is a cloud over this White House, and a gathering storm. A similar cloud envelops Mr. Rove, even as he leaves the White House."

I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who was Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, was later convicted of lying and obstructing justice. Bush commuted Libby's sentence.

Libby's attorneys contended that Libby was the victim of a White House conspiracy to protect Rove but never presented any evidence to support that claim.

Journalist Robert Novak, who identified Plame in a 2003 column, testified that Rove was one of two officials who leaked Plame's identity to him, but Rove was never charged with a crime.

His departure comes as Bush continues to face low approval ratings and as Republican presidential hopefuls work to differentiate themselves from Bush.

Other White House officials who left after the election include White House counselor Dan Bartlett, budget director Rob Portman, chief White House attorney Harriet Miers, political director Sara Taylor and deputy national security adviser J.D. Crouch. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld left his job immediately following the election, as the Iraq war's influence on voters became clear.

Here are 2 who disagreed with the Bush Administration and resigned:

Richard Clarke: & Paul O'Neill
