DISGUSTING THAT THIS 'CLASS' BEHAVIOR CAN EXIST IN OUR COUNTRY

Today, the prominent law firms listed above play a special role in directing the affairs of the leading tax-exempt foundations which shape the culture and public opinion of the United States and many foreign countries. We have already seen that McGeorge Bundy, a leading Bonesman, left his position as National Security Adviser to President Lyndon Johnson in 1966 to assume the presidency of the Ford Foundation. During the nearly two decades that Bundy spent directing the $3 billion tax-exempt fund, he arguably wielded more power than he did during his six years as the National Security Adviser to two presidents. Under the Bundy reign the Ford Foundation spent hundreds of millions of dollars to launch the environmentalist movement and funded scores of projects devoted to population reduction in the Third World.

WHOSE YOUR DADDY?

From its early decades, the Order has concentrated much of its efforts at establishing, controlling and, in some instances, capturing the major tax-exempt "philanthropic" foundations of America with the assistance of these powerful law firms.

A brief History of Money Laundering
In essence, money laundering is the act of concealing money or assets from the state to prevent its loss through taxation, judgment enforcement, or blatant confiscation. However, as the late J. Orlin Grabbe wrote: "Anyone who has studied the evolution of money-laundering statutes in the U.S. and elsewhere will realize that the 'crime' of money laundering boils down to a single, basic prohibited act: Doing something and not telling the government about it."

Money Laundering is a Financial Thought Crime 

It's highly political and also a matter of perspective whether protection from confiscation is a justifiable activity. Government access to wealth is at the heart of the issue and it matters not if it's hiding money or cleaning money.

DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS - THE UNITED STATES OF SECRECY - 
THIS IS WHAT A WEB OF SECRET COMPANIES LOOKS LIKE.

The U.S. has become a major hotspot for corporate secrecy, considered one of the worst offenders by advocacy groups like the Tax Justice Network, whose Financial Secrecy Index ranks the U.S. at No. 3. In the vast majority of states, companies aren’t required to disclose the names of their beneficial owners, and registered agents have no obligation to ask about this. More than 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies call Delaware their corporate home (on paper, at least). Last year, the state incorporated some 170,000 companies. This past winter, Transparency International listed Delaware on a Top 9 list of “Grand Corruption” cases around the world. Attorneys in Uruguay for the OpenWorld investors say they discovered a Swiss Group shell company registered in Delaware. 

Tax-Avoidance Experts - Trade invoice fraud cost U.S. $2.3 trillion in tax revenue 2016

Corporate tax evasion and money laundering have cost the U.S. $2.3 trillion in tax revenue, according to an analysis by a professor at Florida International University. FIU College of Business professor John Zdanowicz, a fraud expert, indicates that U.S. companies used false invoices to mask the true value of imported and exported goods. The study covers the period from 2003 to 2014 and is based on U.S. Customs data.  As international banking as become more closely tracked, criminals increasingly have turned to false invoicing, found Zdanowicz, growing from $168.31 billion in 2003 to $230.58 billion in 2014 — a 30 percent increase.

THE OLDEST LAW FIRM

Rawle & Henderson LLP  
16th Floor, 1339 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19107 (215) 575-4200

Founded as the Rawle Law Offices in 1783, we have been recognized by the ABA Journal as the oldest law firm in continuous practice in the U.S. 

How old is the firm? Displayed in its conference room is a letter from Alexander Hamilton to its founder, William Rawle, asking for an update on a case.  Mr. Rawle, a much-admired lawyer in his time, founded the firm in 1783. A friend of Ben Franklin, he’s probably best known for prosecuting the rebel leaders of the Whiskey Rebellion. It was an assignment that came directly from George Washington. Rawle during its early years specialized in maritime law and provided insurance counseling to shipping companies besieged by pirates.

HOWEVER THE SUPREME COURT IS RUN BY HARVARD & YALE ELITES FOR THE BRAHMINS

"We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, in order to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind....Three generations of imbeciles are enough. U.S. Supreme Court rationale for sterilizing the 'unfit.' "Buck v. Bell, 274 U.S. 200, 207 (1927) (endorsing Virginia's eugenics program)

Scalia was worth billions of dollars to corporate America, if a Dow Chemical settlement made public Friday is any indication. Dow was in the midst of appealing a $1.06 billion class-action antitrust ruling after a jury found that it had conspired with other chemical companies to fix prices for urethane, a material used in furniture and appliances.  But because of Scalia’s death and the sudden unlikelihood of finding five votes on the Supreme Court to overturn the case, Dow decided to settle for $835 million, the bulk of the original award.  
“Growing political uncertainties due to recent events with the Supreme Court and increased likelihood for unfavorable outcomes for business involved in class-action suits have changed Dow’s risk assessment of the situation,” the company told Bloomberg News.  The case reveals how corporations have used the conservative majority on the court as a safety valve to nullify unfavorable rulings. As the Alliance for Justice has documented, time and again, the Roberts Court has issued 5-4 rulings that protect big corporations from liability, limit access to justice for workers and consumers, and allow companies to evade regulations on the environment, racial and gender discrimination, and monopolistic practices.  The most famous of these Court rulings, the Citizens United decision, enabled unlimited corporate spending in elections to attack regulatory structures at the legislative and executive branch. But the corporate stranglehold on the judicial branch provided a backstop, another venue to relieve big business from accountability.  Scalia’s death on February 13 changed that, at least temporarily. The 4-4 split between liberals and conservatives on the Court means that, in most controversial cases, a deadlock allows the lower court ruling to stand. And in nine of the 13 federal district courts of appeals, Democrats have appointed the majority of judges, making it harder for corporations to get a favorable judgment.  This is not just a theoretical matter; it comes down to dollars and cents, as the Dow Chemical case shows.

Should a diploma from either Harvard or Yale
be a prerequisite for a job on the U.S. Supreme Court?

The Harvard-Yalification Of The Supreme Court Author Nicholas Lemann says that the Harvard-Yalification of the court marks a resurgent elitism in American society.

The Pedigree Problem: Are Law School Ties Choking the Profession?

Against Prestige - Snobbism and elitism are the last socially acceptable prejudices. If law school rankings accurately foretold lawyer success, there’d be good reason for thousands of law graduates to be demoralized. But statistics have shown decidedly that they don’t. Instead, the preference toward the so-called elite is largely rooted in vanity and identity. 

REAL POWER

12/8/14 At America’s court of last resort, a handful of lawyers now dominates the docket

It’s also a self-replicating group of insiders, many of whom previously held positions that offer them deep insight into how the court operates. Among the 66 leading lawyers, 31 worked as a clerk for a Supreme Court justice; in that role, they wrote memos for the justices that summarized petitions and highlighted cases that might be worth hearing. Twenty-five worked in top posts in the U.S. Office of the Solicitor General, whose lawyers represent the federal government before the court. The rise of that specialty bar can be traced to the mid-1980s, when President Reagan’s first solicitor general, Rex Lee, joined the Washington office of Sidley Austin. Demand had grown for lawyers who could help corporations roll back workplace, environmental and consumer regulations that had roots in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  At Sidley Austin, Lee launched a high court practice focused on business clients. In the next two years, he argued a remarkable eight cases before the Supreme Court.

Gibson Dunn lawyer Ted Boutrous represented Walmart against a class of 1.5 million women who sued, alleging discrimination. He won a 5-4 decision in supreme court. Gibson Dunn handles real estate, securities, corporate, environmental and other legal matters for Walmart – work that has generated more than $50m in new revenue for the firm, say people familiar with the relationship. The Walmart case caught the attention of Boutrous in 2004, shortly after a federal judge in San Francisco certified the class of 1.5 million women, the largest class in American history. Logos of corporations that supported Walmart at the supreme court – FedEx, Bank of America, Microsoft, Cigna, Kimberly-Clark, Walgreens, Dole, DuPont, Tyson, General Electric, Pepsi and Del Monte.

• Top lawyers succeed in repeatedly appearing before high court
• Lawyers with the most access will only take cases that do not hurt interests
• Environmental groups, unions and consumer class-action suits out in the cold

Gibson Dunn is not the only law firm to turn supreme court appearances into gold. After the firm Sidley Austin won a Supreme Court patent case for eBay, it earned at least $10m in unrelated legal fees from the online retailer, say people with knowledge of the account. Likewise, the firm Jones Day secured Westinghouse/CBS as a major client following a successful high court case. In the years that followed, the relationship generated more than $10m in fees, sources say.

Securing profitable, long-term relationships with America’s largest corporations is one reason major law firms began creating supreme court practices in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Now, corporate firms so dominate the supreme court bar that they boast outsized access to a high court that’s already inclined to support corporations over individuals. A Reuters examination of about 10,300 court records filed over a nine-year period shows that lawyers at a dozen law firms, including Gibson Dunn, Sidley Austin and Jones Day, have become extraordinarily adept at getting cases before the supreme court. Although the high court typically agrees to hear 5% of the petitions it receives from private attorneys, Reuters found that lawyers at the top dozen firms were successful 18% of the time.
