What prompted

me to write the book?

Throughout my life I had noticed and made mental notes of abuses by a small minority of people to the

detriment of the vast majority

The abuses were often disguised as – Family values – Customs – Culture – Tradition– Religion– Progress– Patriotism– Democracy– Justice

So, why now?

• The abuses by corporate executives got rather blatant in the last decade

• In 2008, the securities fraud at Wall Street’s biggest investment firms was beginning to unravel and the news headlines were getting more alarming

For example:

“Ex-bosses convicted of AIG fraud”

“You [the tax-payer] Paid For It [junket]: AIG's Retreat Destination, Up Close”

“Fannie, Freddie get federal grand jury subpoenas”

“FBI Investigating Potential Fraud by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman, AIG”

“No Longer Ready to RetireIn Economic Crisis, Nest Eggs Vanish, as Do Long-Held Dreams”

“Worst year for jobs since '45”

“Fed Chairman Warns of More Foreclosures”

•“2008 foreclosure filings set record”

•“Homeless numbers alarming”

“Why Isn't Wall Street In Jail?”

So, by 2008, my frustration with the blatant abuses by the entrenched power brokers

reached a critical point

I had to break my life long silence!
