The Fraud Of American University Accreditation

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, 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 oversite 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: Savings and Loan Scandal, Enron, Arthur Anderson, Harken 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. And this is the small list.
And so people who do these scams are not 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 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? 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.
General Pace and Donald Rumsfeld resign for their bungling of the Iraq War and their torture authorizations at AbuGhrab Prison in Iraq , Paul Wolfowitz resigns as President of World Bank for giving his girl friend a raise from the World Bank after she was assigned to work at the State Department. He stole money claiming she still worked at the bank. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigns from pressure in Congress and Senate over the botched handling of FBI terror investigations and firings of U.S. attorneys, Karl Rove resigns after Journalist Robert Novak, who identified Plame in a 2003 column as a CIA agent, testified that Rove was the other official who leaked her name; and his involvement with Bush¡¯s lie in going to war over Weapons of Mass Destruction never found, is indicative of War Crimes he is in collaboration with.

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, and Condoleezza Rice, Rudy Guiliani, Larry Silverstein, Andrew Card, Donald Rumsfeld, William Kristol, Douglas Feith, and others who are connected to this organized crime administration.
There is a huge divide in the American culture, in which many who authorize the Accreditation are supported by the Government Agencies in the US that represent the Republican Party, or Military Establishment.
And then there are the anti-war people, who normally are non-military supported by the Democratic Party. Many people disagree with the military establishment. And many Democrats also support the Military despite having a divided tent of votes in their party.
Many of the Universities support the military establishment because they promise them money. And how they get their money is by raising student tuition fees.
Many very good students do not attend the Universities afraid their money is going for bombs to kill people. Tuition profits are used to support the military, along with appropriation bills from Congress for higher indebtedness.
Republicans will give you a tax cut in one hand and load up the debt in the other.
In reality you don't get a tax cut, you get a long term financial burden. So much for their taxing lies! Am I Right? Of course!
In 2003 a sudden change in eligibility for Pell Grants was announced by the Department of Education. It would cut some 90,000 students from the rolls of recipients and affect more than 1 million others.
The timing of the War was just underway, so it is obvious where the money went. And since the money was cut, how do students get to pay their tuitions?
They have to borrow the money. With the crunching for money for the War several Federal Government Officials are now under the scope in a developing investigation into the $85 billion-a-year college Student Loan Industry.
A handful of major Universities have suspended top Financial Aid Officials as the investigation continues by the Office of New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. The investigation now has linked a current Education Department Official with stock holdings in a leading student loan company.
Matteo Fontana, the General Manager of the National Student Loan Data System, a Central Database for Student Aid, including the Federal Direct Loan Program and Pell Grants has been linked to banks with ties to Corporate America that support the Military establishment.
As these hotshot Financial Aid Officials trade loans for profits to support the War, students are caught holding the bag, because they were cut from the rolls in receiving Pell Grants, and they have to pay the higher interest on the loans because of the constant upward movement in University tuition fees.
How does Accreditation protect the rights of students to attend and pay for College, while they are being ripped off by the Government in schemes that hide their tracks in supporting the military?
In fact it was a lie about going to War, exposing Valerie Plame when her husband proved Iraq¡¯s Saddam was not buying Yellow Cake Uranium from Niger.
You find a lot of propaganda that claim Big Universities turn down many applicants who wanted to attend their Institutes. In fact it is a lie. They create articles like this to build a false prestige in the world making people believe they are highly sought after when in fact they probably get less than average enrollment numbers. But they think their propaganda letters keep them in the game.
I really think those Accredited Schools are frauds and liars from the get go. I have more trust that so called Non-Recognized Universities have more legitimacy than the Accredited Universities in the States.
Consider the fact that I spend all that money in loans to get a degree to have to put up with drunken dorm parties that seem to go on endlessly, throughout the week, with drug users, and sex as the main course subject.
Then to simply go to class, is a form of entertainment for a few laughs. To my ignorant surprise I discover I have a rowdy roommate who will steal my personal things like soap, clothes, and money is not enough.
But then to take my work, to steal from me so they get my credit!
What's the point? When exam proctors are paid cash to allow students to cheat on exams, so they get the higher grade; so they can claim the status of scholarly achievement upon the cheating tradition Accredited Schools wink and nod at!
Or to spend all that money at an Accredited University in which I did; so I can experience witnessing another student be shot down in cold blooded murder by someone in a well off Religious Community Campus!
Have you considered that Sororities and Frats are nothing but fancy names for the local high tech bullies with their gangs?
And how about those Universities who claim Accreditation is necessary who run our government today? Wouldn't you agree that they are political liars, robbers, and murderers, especially the killing of little kids, mothers and grandparents in Iraq to protect my so called right to freedom in America? Then to have fathers who are trying to protect their families become instant terrorists and are gunned down and thrown in a sand ditch for burial.
Seems to me Non-Traditional Degree Holders have a different message and a different method of measuring and doing things that Accredited Junkies refuse to admit or acknowledge.
You know it is rather like comparing American Degrees to other Foreign Country Degrees. Would you call them fake? I dare say that those so called Non-Traditional Educators certainly have more knowledge and ability than a majority of Foreign Country Degree equivalents, and more upstairs when it comes to America¡¯s Accreditation System.
I think people should consider these truths before they assume that Accreditation means the shoe fits! Or Fake means that's not a shoe it's a sandal. I know that's what Jesus would do.
The numerous examples of Accredited Schools which have proven to be bad or incompetent are not difficult to find. The same goes with Corporations, and Government Administrations whom have graduates from those so called Accredited Institutions whom have brought national disgrace and many other calamities to America's society' and in the world while getting away with it now and in the past.
We only have to remember history going back to Harry Truman who used the A-bomb by targeting innocent civilians in Japan instead of their military complex, thus wiping out hundreds of thousands of people, not once mind you but twice at Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
One needs only remember the disgraceful bombing attack on Dresden Germany targeting innocent civilians instead of Hitler¡¯s military headquarters.
We have the Korean War which was Russia declaring War on Japan by supporting N. Korea to later invade S. Korea which was also controlled by Japan, making the US enter the War in Korea to stop Russia despite the US getting Japan to surrender earlier. This was a Truman blunder for not negotiating with Russia in the first place, while McArthur wanted to invade China.
Then how about Operation Dominic When the USA detonated 36 Atomic Bomb tests over the Kiribati Islands; and no says a word about the radioactive contamination that they spewed over the ocean, making Chernobyl and 3 mile Island look like a piece of cookie hitting the floor. Ever wonder how much radioactive fish you have eaten, or how about the welfare of the Kiribati people? Yup they live in obscure poverty, so poor they can't even afford a UN representative. And Global Warming is expected to swallow their Islands with encroaching rising ocean levels before 2020. Think America or its Accreditation really gives a crack?
Then we had the senseless war with Vietnam, the civil rights riots, Kent State, LBJ lies, Nixon Watergate, the Pentagon Papers revealed by Dr. Daniel Ellis, Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein, Jimmy Carter encouraging Iraq to war against Iran, Ronald Reagan¡¯s Iran Contra Trading Arms for hostages scandal, George Bush invading Iraq to kick Saddam out of Kuwait because the US was not paying him enough to fight America¡¯s war with Iran, to Bill Clinton and his sex affair impeachment, to George Bush Jr. with his bag of lies causing the killing of thousands of people over his false war on terror.
And this so called Accreditation continues on its free fall with 911 in which everyone knows it was an American inside job except the brokers in today¡¯s government who refuse to admit their involvement, while they continue the War in Iraq and Afghanistan to cover up their egregious crime on September 11th 2001.
Let's see any Ivy Leaguer go out and do things without the comforts of home most Accredited Universities provide. In fact the slumber of their high tuition prices prove how loathsome they really are. They do not do the real work, but are pampered from the beginning of their student experience to expect future rewards in life because they bought their degree at a high price. So money is supposed to prove their scholarly achievement? I really disagree.
How many times have I seen in my life numerous high credentials of so called scholars from these Accredited Institutions who become homeless bums on the street with a cup in one hand and a cardboard sign in the other? Many times, in fact; and Accreditation does what to solve that problem? Nothing!
Accreditation is supposed to be the stamp of approval for Universities who teach students legitimate and higher education.
When gradates walk out the University doors and they commit crimes after their education, it sends a strong message that the University did not get through to that person, and questions the whole process and purpose of even attending in the first place.
What went wrong? Universities and Accreditation go hand in hand with the responsibility toward making sure students are labeled a bonafide product from their said approval. But in fact we see how really false that claim is.
It¡¯s a reflection from our history as a nation and reflects the continued happenstance of today leading toward tomorrow.
The things Non-Traditional Degree Holders have contributed to society as a whole, in many instances, Accredited Universities are unable, or unknowingly able to provide or comprehend. Foremost having money does not and is not the stamp of Accreditation of Authorization to grant peoples their degrees.
Take for instance graduates from Almeda University. People have to prove what they have done to earn their degree. It is not simply mailing in a payment. If that was the case I could easily go down to the print shop and make my own Diploma, with name plate, and honors for a mere $25 US bucks, and save the rest without paying more to Almeda University.
What really gets me, as we can all attest to, is the famous quote "Uncle Sam wants you."
Mind you this is Accreditation talking while milking the public system with their fraud. They promise to give you a G.I. Bill so you can go to college after you finish joining the military.
You tell me how a student fresh out of High School has the ability to make such an important decision which will affect their lives for the rest of their lives, while dangling Education as a benefit and motive for joining the military?
How many mine fields and people do I have to kill to be able to go to the Accredited University?
It should be "Uncle Sam Wants You For Higher Education" with no strings attached.
You know America holds this grand idea that the military is security.
In fact it is quite the opposite. Education is the key. America moans and groans about not having enough education dollars domestically, while other people in the world outside the borders of America face the same problems yet worse.
Instead there is cross border arguments about why the have people do not do more to help the have-not people. That does not mean using the military to persuade ideology on another culture to take their resources and their belief systems.
Enlisted men are not given the chance for education before they go to war. Instead after the war they are so happy and proud they can go skiing on one leg instead of two?
Why do you think they use education as a ploy to enlist men with the GI Bill? So they will join the Army and the US government might not have to foot the bill for their education.
There is something morally wrong with that, and nobody seems to recognize it. If we had education systems that worked and provided funding properly not only in the USA but also in other countries; what need for a military?
How much good could have been achieved with the trillions spent on killing in Iraq for the military, when it could have been used to educate and change the feelings and atmosphere of the situation? I think the answer is clear; much good.
The military is a business. They can not hold onto their business unless they have customers. Those customers are created enemies.
They need to kill people in order to produce arms, and equipment which is economics, forced to be paid by the American people from their taxes. They sell arms to other countries causing terrorism, while promoting their own cause for needing a military. How, is that legitimate?
If I know the military is essentially the problem, why would I want to reinforce it? Why am I forced to pay a tax bill I did not create?
Then to have them grandstand waving flags that they are patriotic in my great esteem is a fraud and crime to humanity.
Think about it. A lot of people are uneducated when they fall for the military doctrine of lies and go into battle. They have no concept to right and wrong about life, because they have not been given the opportunity for higher education. Subsequently they lose their lives.
It's like having a cold frost kill your crops before harvest time. Some of the crops may overcome the shock later, but indeed the outcome or harvest from that frost is not as optimal.
So to evade those bad feelings they proudly go along with the charade in their lives, as if that is/was the right thing to do. How can they assert that when they were not educated, and then come back to society to get an education? They really do not become educated because they were brainwashed in the service first.
President Bushes military experience is proof his education afterwards was a fruitless endeavor.
Yet the fake American System who claims their authority can't seem to stop lying, know when they have lied, or admit they can not determine the fate of other cultures in the world. I would rather die for my country without a gun in my hand, and knowing it was done to promote education, values, and morality. That is the true fight. That is the Medal of Honor. That is the hero. That is legitimate.
I will never accept hitting my kids or doing violence to anybody is a justified act. Stopping someone from killing my wife does not mean killing them. Stopping perceived dictators from another country whom I do not know the culture or language is really obvious, especially when so called accreditation perceptions created them in the first place, to fight our wars with other nations.
Strange but true is the fact that people who go to Accredited Universities are the ones who set the tone and doctrine of who needs what in order to get an Accredited Degree. I need to study 101 law, and 207 Ethics in order to be a Lawyer. The same goes with many Professions in society, be it a Physician, Pharmacist, CEO, Scientist, Engineer.
But you do not need a Professional Degree to be President of the United States. A person can have a Business Degree, or any Non-Related Degree for that matter to be President.
You tell me how that is creditable? The man or woman who is in charge of world economic affairs and decisions of war which kill people has no Professional Presidential Credential? It's like saying I can sit out on the beach for 3 days all sunny and hot and not get sunburn. Not real! Fake! Phony! I don't believe!
There is no curriculum for Government. They have classes in it, but there is not a Professional Criteria or framework of accountability for government. It is a party system! Nothing but a bunch of Republican Elephant Democrat Donkey anarchy that thinks buying office or casting votes from an educationally deprived nation is their permission and authority to invade the supposedly sacred office of the Provider of the United States . Notice I did not say president.
The President does the dirty work by breaking the law, and then has an underling take the blame, and later the President pardons him! What kind of system is that? Or the President is caught red handed; his underlings fill in his shoes and pardon him! That my fellow Americans is Organized Crime.
In America it isn't about who scores the highest on the exam to reach the qualifications to be President or a Senator, or Congressman, it is about influence peddling, corruption, lies, and stealing elections that gain them power, and yet people in America are duped into believing their lies and forced to support that? I really disagree.
It is not the matter of being accredited that counts, it is a matter that accredited does not disclaim others as diploma mills, or claim their way isn't untainted, unspoiled, not rotten, or not infected by its disease, from its own doing, is the matter. Accreditation needs to change their ways so that it really reflects honesty, and transparency while bringing about the fact that education is the winner when it comes to domestic and foreign policy.
Accreditation in America is a scam and fraud; and until American¡¯s understand how they are being manipulated by this basket case education system, they will continue swimming in the dysfunctional American sewer hole that says getting a degree is worth it. In fact getting it with Accreditation is proving to be a major mistake.
If the purpose of Accreditation is to be a scam operation legally and make a good living from it; I only need remind you of the continued anarchy that repeats itself over and over again, because of the lack of truth and integrity. The military can really go take a hike!
