Review (Publisher): Corporate Crime and Punishment: The Crisis of Underenforcement

5 Star, Crime (Corporate)

In the early 2000s, federal enforcement efforts sent white collar criminals at Enron and WorldCom to prison. But since the 2008 financial collapse, this famously hasn't happened. Corporations have been permitted to enter into deferred prosecution agreements and avoid criminal convictions, in part due to a mistaken assumption that leniency would encourage cooperation and because enforcement agencies don't have the funding or staff to pursue lengthy prosecutions, says distinguished Columbia Law Professor John C. Coffee. “We are moving from a system of justice for organizational crime that mixed carrots and sticks to one that is all carrots and no sticks,” he says.

5 Stars – An Unnoticed Dying Declaration

“I am not a Satan turned saint. It is not that I woke up one night and felt the bite of conscience. I have tried to explain that I have been a victim to two quarrelling squirrels inside me. The bread earner mostly defeated the dream merchant. I have suffered and I still suffer from the indignity of carrying out orders, which I would have not done had I continued in my teaching and journalistic profession.”- Maloy Krishna Dhar

An astonishing account of an Indian Intelligence Officer, the book is a detailed confession to the Indian public. The book deals with what an intelligence officer goes through while doing his duties. It is the ‘duty’ itself that tries to define itself between being a tool at the hands of the deep- state and an underlying conscience that keeps kicking to review the author’s deeds. Spying sometimes requires a barter of conscience with personal well-being. The author confesses to the misdeeds he did while he was spying for the country often by spying on the country.’

5 Star – Riveting First Person Account

I know the author personally, and was introduced to him by Sterling Seagrave (RIP), whom I also knew personally. Sterling was for me the top chronicler of Asian history both sordid and splendid. One of his books (linked below) that comes with three CDs of maps, photos, and data, is worth multiple trillions of dollars provided the Guardians of the individual sites can be won over.

5 Star – A Single Businessman Documents A Single Case

This is not a typical book by a  typical author. This is a briefing by one very skilled businessman focused on one very specific case that indicts the Puerto Rican government and energy company, the FBI and DOJ, and the US Congress as well as all major banks and the three credit rating companies.

It is compelling.

3 Star Not Worth Reading

In the past I might have given this book 4 stars despite its flaws, but my standards have  gone up (I demand holistic analytics and true cost economics now for 5 stars) and the author makes too many mistakes in areas where I have superior knowledge.

Also new is the disgrace of the New York Times as a fake news Deep State media outlet, and the fact that the Pulitzer Prize is not worth anything, it is a controlled prize like the Nobel Peace Prize, and is named after one of the pioneers of yellow journalism, manufacturing wars for profit with lies.

7 Stars — Cosmic Mind-Altering Book

I've gone through seven stages in my intellectual development:

  1. Truth assumed to be Default
  2. Lies known to be Default
  3. Consciousness is a Force for Good
  4. Everything is Energy in Some Form
  5. Stellar Civilizations Abound
  6. Frequencies Manage and Manifest Energy
  7. Time & Space Travel Achieved by Mind Control

Along the way  — and long after I left my secret intelligence life behind — I learned from non-fiction books and selected human contacts that there is a very evil side to all this — Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA), sodomy of children to fracture their minds and among men at the highest levels of secret societies ostensibly to open their “third eye,” and mind-control of individuals as well as masses — in the latter case with manipulated music.
