ON WALL STREET,
THE CORLEONE FAMILY
FITS RIGHT IN

On Wall Street, the Corleone family fits right in By Richard Cohen July 7, 2014

He is at his desk. Facing him are members of his organization. Michael rises and dims the lights. He starts a PowerPoint display showing the various Mafia families. The chieftains and button men are puzzled but they say nothing. Michael turns the lights back on. It is clear he is about to say something important.

Michael: “We’re gonna incorporate.”

The capos are shocked. They all start talking at once. "Michael, Michael, what would your old man say?"

Michael: "The Godfather is dead. So is his way of doing business. Hyman Roth showed me what we should do.

We turn the Corleone family into Corleone Enterprises Ltd. We list it on the stock exchange along with the other criminals. We do what we have always done, but if we get caught, nobody goes to jail. We pay a fine and say we’re sorry."

 

ANTICIPATORY BRIBERY

ALMOST AS MUCH
AS DIRECT BRIBERY.

Was the Obama White House easy on big Wall Street banks – never putting tough conditions on them for getting bailout money or prosecuting a single top Wall Street executive – because Tim Geithner, Barack Obama’s treasury secretary, and Peter Orszag, his director of the Office of Management and Budget, anticipated lucrative jobs on the Street? (Geithner became president of the private-equity firm Warburg Pincus when he left the administration; Orszag became Citigroup’s vice chairman for global banking.)  Another form of anticipatory bribery occurs when the payment comes in anticipation of a person holding office, and then delivering the favors. ~ Robert Reich

The Guelphs and the Ghibellines were rival parties in medieval Germany and Italy which supported the papal party and the Holy Roman emperors respectively. But in Italy the divisions became more a function of rivalries between cities and even local families.
Eventually the Guelphs split into two rival factions known as Whites and Blacks.

THE BLACK NOBILITY
[ GUELPHS ]

 

The Black Nobility Aristocracy
 

The Black Nobility aristocracy achieved complete control over Venice in 1171, when the appointment of the Doge was transferred to what was known as the Great Council, which consisted of members of the commercial aristocracy (among them the infamous de’Medici family). Venice has remained in their hands ever since, but the power and influence of the Venetian Black Nobility extends far beyond its borders, and today it is felt in every corner of the globe. All the families listed are connected with the House of Guelph, one of the original Black Nobility families of Venice, from which the House of Windsor and thus the present Queen of England, Elizabeth II, descends. The Guelphs are so intertwined with the German aristocracy through the House of Hanover that it would take several pages to mention all their connections. All (almost) European royal houses originate from the House of Hanover and thus from the House of Guelph — the Black Nobility.

  • House of Bourbon France
  • House of Braganza Portugal
  • House of Grimaldi Monaco
  • House of Guelp Britain (the most important one)

All the families you will find on the (QUEEN ELIZABETH) Windsor family tree

To this day Venice has remained in their hands of the Venetian Black Nobility [BN] that in fact extends far beyond its borders, and felt in every single corner of the globe. The Black Nobility, were and still are the oligarchic families of Venice and Genoa, Italy, whom since the 12th century held the privileged trading rights [monopolies].

The first of three crusades, from 1063 to 1123, established the power of the Venetian Black Nobility and solidified the power of the wealthy ruling class. The BN aristocracy achieved complete control over Venice in 1171, when the appointment of the Doge [the chief magistrate and leader of the Most Serene Republic of Venice for over a thousand years], was transferred to what was known as the Great Council, which consisted of members of the commercial aristocracy, among them the infamous House of Medici or de‘Medici was a political dynasty, banking family and later royal house that first began to gather prominence under Cosimo de‘Medici in the Republic of Florence during the late 14th century, rising until they were able to found the Medici Bank. The bank was the largest in Europe at one time. The Medici family was connected to most other elite families of the time through strategic marriages, partnerships, or employment, as a result of which the Medici family had a position of centrality in the social network: several families had systematic access to the rest of the elite families only through the Medici, perhaps similar to banking relationships.

 In 1204 these families formed their own governing committees and via their members, and from this time-dates the great building-up of power and when eventually the government became a closed corporation [as is City of London] of the leading Black Nobility families. The Black Nobility group of families who sided with the Papacy under Pope Pius IX after the House of Savoy family-led army of the Kingdom of Italy entered Rome on the 20th September 1870, overthrew the Pope and the Papal States, and took over the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope also known as the Sacred Palace which is located in Vatican City. For the next 59 years, the Pope confined himself to Vatican City and claimed to be a prisoner within the Vatican to avoid the appearance of accepting the authority of the new Italian government and state. Aristocrats who had been ennobled by the Pope and were formerly subjects of the Holy See, including the senior members of the Papal Court, kept the doors of their palaces in Rome closed to mourn the Pope‘s confinement, which led to their being called the Black Nobility.Pope Paul VI abolished their Vatican City positions at Court, as well as a number of privileges.

(Royalty)
Elitism is the belief or attitude that some individuals, who form an elite — are a select group of people with a certain ancestry, intrinsic quality or worth, high intellect wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes — are those whose influence or authority is greater than that of others; whose views on a matter are to be taken more seriously or carry more weight; whose views or actions are more likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities, or wisdom render them especially fit to govern.

Royal Jewels measured in Centuries not Carats
More than 200 daughters of America's new industrial millionaires marry into the money-strapped British aristocracy. They use their affluence, allure and ingenuity to their advantage, and they bring dramatic changes to the English ruling class and eventually the world.

THE FAMILY / ROYALTY 
 

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge christened Prince George​ naming Emilia d'Erlanger as a god parent. Prince William's cousin Zara Tindall is the only member of the royal family to be godparent.

THE BANKSTERS

Emilia d'Erlanger is married to David Jardine-Paterson​ whose family tree goes to  William Jardine (1784–1843), co-founder of the Far Eastern conglomerate, Jardine Matheson Holdings. He was born into the family which had founded the Jardine Matheson company, although his branch of the family controlled Jardine, Skinner and Company of Calcutta, the Indian division of Jardines, rather than its main opium business based in Hong Kong. Jardines was one of the original Hong Kong trading houses or Hongs that date back to Imperial China, and as of December 2010, 41 percent of the company's profits are still earned in China. The company is controlled by the Keswick family, who are descendants by marriage of the Jardine family. With the cession of Hong Kong under the 1842 Treaty of Nanking, the firm set up its headquarters on the island and grew rapidly. Initially trading in smuggled opium, tea and cotton, Jardines soon diversified into other areas including insurance, shipping and railways.

The Glass Floor

Research exposes the 'glass floor' in British society - Less able, better-off kids are 35% more likely to become high earners than bright poor kids.  

Downward Mobility and Opportunity Hoarding is the reality of a ‘glass floor’ in British society that protects less able, better-off children from falling down the social ladder as they become adults. This is probably exactly true for the US as well. The impact that social background has on earnings at age 42 and whether this can be explained by early cognitive ability, qualifications, school type, parental education level and non-cognitive skills such as self-esteem and behaviour.  It finds that children from more advantaged social backgrounds who are assessed at age 5 as having low cognitive ability are nonetheless significantly more likely to become high earners than their high ability peers in lower income households. Children from high income backgrounds who show signs of low academic ability at age 5 are 35% more likely to be high earners as adults than children from poorer families who show early signs of high ability.

Bottom Line: 1%, .01%, and .001% make sure their children are set up no matter what their abilities are. 

How to get into Harvard, from the perspective of a senior Sony executive (int: involves connections & lots of $$$)
The director of Harvard admissions has said that being a ‘Harvard legacy’ – the child of a Harvard graduate – is just one of many ‘tips’ in the college’s admissions process, such as coming from an ‘under-represented state’ (Harvard likes to have students from all 50), or being on the ‘wish list’ of an athletic coach. For most applicants to Harvard, the acceptance rate is around 5 per cent; for applicants with a parent who attended Harvard, it’s around 30 per cent. (One survey found that 16 per cent of Harvard undergraduates have a parent who went to Harvard.) A Harvard study from a few years ago shows that after controlling for other factors that might influence admission (such as, say, grades), legacies are more than 45 per cent more likely to be admitted to the 30 most selective American colleges than non-legacies. Harvard’s admissions director defends the practice by claiming that legacies ‘bring a special kind of loyalty and enthusiasm for life at the college that makes a real difference in the college climate… and makes Harvard a happier place.’ That ‘special kind of loyalty’ can express itself in material ways. Graduates with family ties – four generations of Harvard men! – are assumed to be particularly generous, and they cut colleges off when their children don’t get in.

FOUNDATIONS 

Brookings and Carnegie Foundations

The World Order Our Secret Rulers by Eustace Mullins Chapter 8 The Foundations page 191

The WorId Order controls the citizens of the United States through the tax exempt foundations. These foundations create and implement government policy through their staff members in key positions in the executive, legislative and judiciary departments. The foundations create educational policy through their staff members in key positions at every level of the educational system. The foundations control religious doctrine through their staff members in key positions in the leading religious denominations.   "Foundation" is a misleading term; Webster calls it an endowment, but a foundation is really a trust, which Roget states is a "syndicate".   If, instead of Rockefeller Foundation, we were to say Rockefeller Syndicate, we would be much closer to the truth. Alpheus T. Mason, in his biography of Justice Brandeis, quotes Brandeis as pointing out that "Socialism has been developed largely by the power of individual trusts." What we have then, are criminal syndicates masquerading as   philanthropic enterprises while they inflict Socialist world slavery on nations and peoples for the benefit of the World Order.

Elite Networks have always laundered money for the sake of continually accruing wealth and power. This is possible because of the use of powerful law firms.

The Oldest firm is Rawle & Henderson, the venerable firm begun in Philadelphia just seven years after the nation was born.

“It was us, the foreigners, that imposed this,” Rocky T. Lee, the head of Greater China corporate practice for the law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, told the consortium about the practice. “It had to do with the foreign investors’ general discomfort with Chinese rules and regulations.”  But offshore companies can also be used to launder money, avoid taxes and hide an individual’s stake in a company.

Colonial Charters, Grants and Related Documents at YALE

The London Company (also called the Charter of the Virginia Company of London) was an English joint stock company established by royal charter by King James I with the purpose of establishing colonial settlements in North America. The territory granted to the London Company included the coast of North America from the 34th parallel (Cape Fear) north to the 41st parallel (in Long Island Sound), but being part of the Virginia Company and Colony, the London Company owned a large portion of Atlantic and Inland Canada. The company was permitted by its charter to establish a 100-square-mile (260 km2) settlement within this area. The portion of the company's territory north of the 38th parallel was shared with the Plymouth Company, with the stipulation that neither company found a colony within 100 miles (161 km) of each other.  The London Company made landfall on April 26, 1607 at the southern edge of the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, which they named Cape Henry, near present day Virginia Beach. Deciding to move the encampment, on May 24, 1607 they established the Jamestown Settlement on the James River about 40 miles (64 km) upstream from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Later in 1607, the Plymouth Company established its Popham Colony in present day Maine, but it was abandoned after about a year. By 1609, the Plymouth Company had dissolved. As a result, the charter for the London Company was adjusted with a new grant that extended from "sea to sea" of the previously-shared area between the 34th and 40th parallel. It was amended in 1612 to include the new territory of the Somers Isles (or Bermuda).  The London Company struggled financially for a number of years, with results improving after sweeter strains of tobacco than the native variety were cultivated and successfully exported from Virginia as a cash crop beginning in 1612. In 1624, the company lost its charter, and Virginia became a royal colony (although its spin-off, the Somers Isles Company existed until 1684).​

China and the Opium Wars    [ see China Curriculum ]

Why all this interest in China? Well, China, among other things, is the largest producer and user of opiates in the world.

For a while, in the 1800s, the Yankee Clippers in Connecticut and Massachusetts were the fastest ships on the ocean. Speed was crucial to the opium trade; whoever made the trip from Turkey/India to Macao/Hong Kong/Shanghai first got the most for their goods.

During the Opium Wars, the U.S. chose to stand on the sidelines and cheer for the English and French, knowing that treaty obligations would bring the U.S. a share in the spoils. Russell and Company was at times the only trading house operating in Canton and used the opportunity to developed strong commercial ties and handsome profits.

Powerful national interests were behind the drug trade, because American traders were badly in need of some article the Chinese would buy, since by this time the seal breeding grounds had been nearly wiped out. If the Chinese had not bought opium from Americans, then United States imports of silk, porcelain and tea would have to paid in precious coin, which was in short supply. In 1843, when the Port of Shanghai was opened, Russell and Co. was one of its earliest traders.

ILLEGAL OPIUM TRADE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OLD MONEY WEALTH OF THE .1%.

 

The Boston Brahmin's Opium Drug Smuggling Money started Yale and Columbia University and their families started secret societies called Fraternities in order to develop the networks necessary to protect their power and wealth from those in the lower castes. They needed to control politicians in government who make the laws to protect their wealth. They needed insiders their fraternity brothers to look out for their "interests" sometimes called "special interests".

It has worldwide membership of over 11,000, it is the largest private clubhouse in the world and also offers legacy memberships for any Yale-affiliated member's children and grandchildren. According to a book published for the club's 1997 centennial, members at that time included George H. W. Bush, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bill Clinton, Gerald Ford, John Kerry and George Pataki. The first president of the Yale Club was attorney Thomas Thacher, founder of Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett. membership is restricted almost entirely to alumni and faculty of Yale University, University of Virginia and Dartmouth College. The current clubhouse opened in June 1915, was situated on the very corner where Yale alumnus Nathan Hale was hanged by the British Army for espionage during the American Revolution. Today, the site of Hale's execution is disputed.

 

1784 and previous: "The first US ship sent into the China Trade is the Boston sloop Harriet;

it trades American ginseng for Chinese tea. It didn't even get all they way to China, it traded its goods off the Cape of Good Hope. The Empress of China was especially built for the trade by Philadelphia's Robert Morris and first set sail towards China on Washington's birthday, 22 February, 1784. It took ginseng and brought back teas, spices, silks, porcelains and other general household goods. There was interest in the products, a good profit was made and the China trade was off and running. Ginseng, seal and sea otter furs, and sandalwood were used to trade with the Chinese. Soon these resources were depleted and a new barter item was needed in lieu of silver; which the fledgling US had little of. In the late 1790's Smyrna (Izmer>, today), Turkey a major source for opium began to become port of call for Americans."

The Boston Branch

James Grant Forbes would have been a natural choice for working in China. The Forbes family had a long history in the China trade. Even though James Grant was a descendant of the New York Forbes branch, we know from the letter he wrote to Bostonian William Cameron Forbes that a closeness existed with the Boston branch. The same was true in the previous generation, when his father, Francis Blackwell Forbes, made his botanical study of Chinese opium poppiesFrancis also had an uncle, the brother of Episcopal minister John Murray Forbes, named Paul Siemen Forbes (born in New York in 1808), who was a bankrupt New York speculator rescued by his wealthy Boston cousin, John Murray Forbes, who managed to bring him into Russell & Co., as well as to have him installed as U.S. Consul in Canton for many years. Paul's name was associated with a scandal in 1865 as a result of his obtaining a contract to ship black slaves to Haiti—a contract never fulfilled—and being forced to return Congressional funds allocated for the contract. His embarrassment was gratefully relieved by his cousin's display of influence, which he no doubt reciprocated once he assumed his position as consul in China.
As suspected, the trail has led us back to Massachusetts, to the town of Milton, which became the home of the two sons of Ralph Bennet Forbes. The path from Milton to China, by way of France, intersects the path that leads from New York to France. It is easy to get lost or confused along the way. But when we go backwards through time, we discover remnants of documentation, such as ship logs, which were less shrouded in secrecy. That history gives us a clearer picture of the source of the family's wealth—the opium dens of China—created by merchant traders hungry for that market. [25] So it is to them that we turn next.
Thus, Thomas was hired by Captain Magee in 1789 for the ship's voyage to China, during which it was docked in Batavia (later called Jakarta) in the Dutch East Indies while they negotiated with its governor and director for the sale of spices.
Five years later, Thomas's personal memoirs related an account of a visit in Paris with “Mr. Russell, Mr. Higginson, and several others” where they rented a room as close as possible to the action for the purpose of witnesses the execution of Robespierre. [27] While working for the Derby fleet in Salem, Massachusetts, Thomas Perkins attained the rank of first officer, with Joseph Peabody as first mate, marking “the beginning of a friendship between Perkins and Peabody which later became a business partnership.” [28] Joseph Peabody died in 1844, survived by son George Peabody, who married Clarissa Endicott. The George Peabody, however, who is associated with the bank later headed by J.P. Morgan, was a cousin — both men being descendants of Francis Peabody who settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts before his death in 1697. Another Peabody cousin married Mary Jane Derby, whose sister Laura Derby Welles married Robert C. Winthrop (another ancestor of John Kerry), who will be discussed in a future essay.

It's not what you know; It's who you know. When Ralph Bennet Forbes married a Perkins, he brought his family into a different class of shipping tycoons.

Ever since Nixon re-established America's political relationship with China, many of our ambassadors to that country have been Bonesmen, including George Bush, the first Chief U. S. Liaison Officer to the Peoples Republic of China.

Guaranty Trust was founded in 1864 in New York.

Over the next 100 years the banking firm expanded rapidly by absorbing other banks and trust companies; in 1910 it merged Morton Trust Company, in 1912 the Standard Trust Company and in 1929, the National Bank of Commerce. The J.P. Morgan Firm has effectively controlled Guaranty Trust since 1912 when Mrs. Edward Harriman (Mother of Roland and Averell Harriman) sold her block of 8,000 shares of the total outstanding 20,000 shares to J.P. Morgan. 

In this case traditional Wall Street collusion between a mega-brokerage and its politically connected inner-circle, which includes academics, industry organizations, corporations, think tanks, hedge funds, politicians and private clients, simply persisted after this confederacy infected itself or was admitted into higher levels of government: "inner circle" mechanism. From this point the inclusion of other closely connected organizations -- like Rockerfeller, Rothchild, Bildeberg, the Chinese or whatever groups -- is a foregone conclusion. Once these other groups gain access to the levers of power through this "inner circle" mechanism, then each of these groups will struggle to dominate, working in public institutions but outside of the public view, for the purposes of furthering their own agendas.
This is the nature of our system which has private corporations buying influence in systems that are supposed to be democratic. This cannot be changed by singling out specific groups or erecting single-issue fire walls. This is not the result of a few rotten apples. It is the fungus of international corporate capitalism operating in the "fruit salad" of selectively democratic republics. By 1954 Guaranty Trust had become the most important banking subsidiary of the J.P. Morgan Firm and since 1954 the merged firms have been known as Morgan Guaranty Company.

Brown Brothers, an investment bank and trading company was founded in 1818 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
by George Brown and John Brown. Brown Bros. & Co. was an investment bank from 1818 until its merger with Harriman Brothers & Company in 1931 to form Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.

John D Rockefeller Standard Oil and Jay Rockefeller
The transference of discretely owned assets to corporate assets and the money behind it may be "a" story but the real story is the individual losses of life, liberty, and limb of millions at their expense. The Rockefeller are the foot solders of a much greater effort to enslave and exploit the common man. No amount of grants, special interest gifting, or private colleges are going to change the deeds of the Rockefeller or the money brokers sponsoring them

 

GLOBAL DOMINANCE NETWORKS

BOHEMIAN GROOVE NETWORK

“We're all told that we elect representatives…they go to Washington, we have total influence of them and they make decisions that are in the best interests of us,” says Moore. “Then we start growing up and if we pay any kind of attention we find out that none of this is true.” “You’ve got more and more of the leadership of Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Apple . . . at the Grove, and more and more of the establishments counting on their technocracies,” says Jones. “These are the power brokers,” says Jones. “And they want to be left alone.”

Phillips wrote his dissertation on the Bohemian Club the Protestant American establishment, men only affair in 1994.
For more than 100 years, with a macabre, hokey ceremony—with Druidic, Masonic, Ku Klux Klan, and Aryan forest-worship overtones—called the Cremation of Care. Members of the ultra-exclusive Bohemian Club—2,500 of America’s richest, most conservative men, including Henry Kissinger, George H. W. Bush, and a passel of Bechtels, Basses, and Rockefellers—are known to urinate freely against the ancient redwoods that cover their 2,700-acre property.
Rumsfeld, Kissinger, two former C.I.A. directors (including Papa Bush), the masters of war and the oligarchs, the Bechtels and the Basses, the board members of top military contractors—such as Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and the Carlyle Group—Rockefellers, Morgans, captains of industry and C.E.O.’s across the spectrum of American capitalism. The interlocking corporate web—cemented by prep-school, college, and golf-club affiliations, blood, marriage, and mutual self-interest—that makes up the American ruling class. Many of the guys, in other words, who have been running the country into the ground and ripping us off for decades. ~ Vanity Fair - Secret Rulers of the World - Leaked Emails

BILDERBERG GROUP 

6/2016 The secretive Bilderberg conference  hosted ten insiders from Clinton’s inner circle, the Obama White House, and the Democratic Party including billionaire donors and former advisers.

5/29/14 Bilderberg at 60: inside the world's most secretive conference 
Topics on the agenda for the three-day summit first held on 29 May 1954 will include: Does privacy exist? 
bilderbergmeetings.org/participants.html
Chief executives, billionaires and high-ranking politicians from around Europe. This year also includes a visit from the supreme allied commander Europe, and a return of royalty – Queen Sofia of Spain and Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, the daughter of the Bilderberg founder Prince Bernhard. 

The key topics for discussion this year include:

  • Is the economic recovery sustainable?
  • Who will pay for the demographics?
  • Does privacy exist?
  • How special is the relationship in intelligence sharing?
  • Big shifts in technology and jobs
  • The future of democracy and the middle class trap
  • China’s political and economic outlook
  • The new architecture of the Middle East
  • Ukraine
  • What next for Europe?
  • Current events

That's an exquisite irony: the world's most secretive conference discussing whether privacy exists. Certainly for some it does. It's not just birthday bunting that's gone up in Copenhagen: there's also a double ring of three-metre (10ft) high security fencing. The hotel is teeming with security: lithe gentlemen in loose slacks and dark glasses, trying not to kill the birthday vibe. Or anyone else. Already, two reporters have been arrested trying to interview the organisers of the conference in the Marriott hotel bar. It's easy enough to keep your privacy intact when you're employing so many people to guard it. There's something distinctly chilling about the existence of privacy being debated, in extreme privacy, by people such as the executive chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, and the board member of Facebook Peter Thiel: exactly the people who know how radically transparent the general public has become.

Who is
Actually Rich

 

THE UNGLAMOROUS TRUTH ABOUT THE REST OF  99% 

EVEN THE RICH ONES AT THE TOP OF THE 99% AREN'T REALLY RICH!

  • - 2014 Meet The Real 'Wolf Of Wall Street' In Forbes' Original Takedown Of Jordan Belfort and then we learn that the very magazine FORBES that chronicles the new titans it itself on the way out too. Steve and Timothy Forbes, the sons of Malcolm Forbes need to sell.  All good things come to an end, even for the rich, and Forbes will probably pass out of family control for small money to a foreign buyer!
  • - Just Hilarious! Bankrupt British loans official resigns, embarrassing PM Cameron
    The head of a British government agency that hands out billions of pounds of loans to local authorities has resigned after failing to reveal he was bankrupt, Prime Minister David Cameron's office said on Sunday.
  • - As of September 2013, the median household income in New York City, according to the US Census, was $50,895.
    According to a 2012 report issued by the City Comptroller’s Office, 49 percent of New Yorkers had unaffordable rents — and rent, for half of us, gobbles up more than 30 percent of our income. This month, Forbes magazine ranked New York City the most overpriced metropolis in America.

People who think being a writer is glamorous, but anyone who does it for a living knows there’s nothing glamorous about it.

Writer Job:
Gawker 2007 jwith a starting salary of $45,000 a year.
every book deal — broke down like this:
- Advance $200,000 in four installments: 
one-fourth upon signing, one-fourth upon acceptance of the manuscript, one-fourth upon hardcover publication, one-fourth one year later or upon paperback publication. 
- 15 percent ($30,000) to her agent. 
- After-tax take-home: about $45,000 a year, her original 

May 2010, her memoir, “And the Heart Says Whatever,” was published. It sold about 8,000 copies — or, as she recently wrote, “a fifth of what it needed to sell to not be considered a flop.” The book’s poor sales meant she’d never get that kind of advance again, and Gould, New York’s newest fabulous young writer, found herself jobless and broke. She could no longer afford to run with her more privileged friends.

CELEBERITY

  • Celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz, one-time owner of three conjoined West Village townhouses who found herself $24 million in debt in 2009.
  • Branding of the Housewives as ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,’ the more these people have turned out to be financial frauds.”
  • Over the franchise’s eight-year lifespan, 12 Real Housewives have filed for bankruptcy, one has been evicted on camera, several have battled substance-abuse issues, one couple has pleaded guilty to fraud in federal court, one husband has been indicted for fraud and identity theft, and one husband has committed suicide. What makes it easier for New York City Housewives to fake it, says McCord, is the proximity to fashion designers, publicists, restaurateurs and charity organizers — most of whom are happy to barter free goods for camera time.

High Profile Model Job

And the more high-profile the job, the less a model is paid if she’s paid at all.  “It’s a little-known fact that most designers don’t pay models to walk,”  
“They’ll pay in trade: a tank top, or samples from their last collection. Of course, you can’t pay your rent with a tank top.”  
To make ends meet, models commonly agree to shoots they’d otherwise never do, or submit to “inappropriate offers.” Club promoters  sidle up to the most naive, offering them free food and drinks while using their presence to boost a nightspot’s profile. Many of these girls have no idea that this underground economy exists. They think these promoters are their friends and it’s a business where relationships and who you’re friends with, or at least who you pretend to be friends with, is very important.” So you have models who need to be friendly with the right designers, and many of these designers can’t afford to pay these models because they’re barely getting by themselves. (Rachel Roy is the latest designer to go out of business, folding two weeks ago. Her ex-husband, former rap mogul Damon Dash, was worth $50 million but is now broke.)

According to the Media, we live in a democratic society.

We all have equal rights and equal opportunities. However, what the media keeps hidden from us is that it has always been about powerful networks. They control power, policy, and . . information, including the Media itself. The purpose here is for the reader to see how elite power networks have always run the show and how these same networks continue to run the show today.
