Herbalife Investigation: American Dream for Sale? and The Whistlblower

ABC's Brian Ross gets answers from company under federal investigation.
ABC's Brian Ross speaks to former Herbalife executive being paid by Wall Street hedge fund manager.

Our Notes:  It's interesting that the new CEO of Herbalife comes from Walt Disney, the parent company of ABC news.  The levels of spin throughout the entire so called investigation are interesting at best.  One issue we would like to point out is the fact that the second best selling product in the world is the dream of success.  The number one best seller in the world is sex.  Combine number one with number two and you get Hollywood.  One thing that is common in all multi level companies is the cult of easy success.  It makes billions every year.

Wall Street Investors Caught In Very Revealing Nasty Rouse

English: The corner of Wall Street and Broadwa...
 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)



"Recently, our nation's financial chieftains have been feeling a little unloved. Venture capitalists are comparing the persecution of the rich to the plight of Jews at Kristallnacht, Wall Street titans are saying that they're sick of being beaten up, and this week, a billionaire investor, Wilbur Ross, proclaimed that "the 1 percent is being picked on for political reasons."

Ross's statement seemed particularly odd, because two years ago, I met Ross at an event that might single-handedly explain why the rest of the country still hates financial tycoons -- the annual black-tie induction ceremony of a secret Wall Street fraternity called Kappa Beta Phi.

"Good evening, Exalted High Council, former Grand Swipes, Grand Swipes-in-waiting, fellow Wall Street Kappas, Kappas from the Spring Street and Montgomery Street chapters, and worthless neophytes!"

It was January 2012, and Ross, wearing a tuxedo and purple velvet moccasins embroidered with the fraternity's Greek letters, was standing at the dais of the St. Regis Hotel ballroom, welcoming a crowd of two hundred wealthy and famous Wall Street figures to the Kappa Beta Phi dinner."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

Our Notes:  We do not agree with the comments coming from the Young Turks, but the news piece is still pretty important.

FOUR HORSEMEN is an award winning independent feature documentary which lifts the lid on how the world really works.

As we will never return to 'business as usual' 23 international thinkers, government advisors and Wall Street money-men break their silence and explain how to establish a moral and just society.

FOUR HORSEMEN is free from mainstream media propaganda -- the film doesn't bash bankers, criticise politicians or get involved in conspiracy theories. It ignites the debate about how to usher a new economic paradigm into the world which would dramatically improve the quality of life for billions.

"It's Inside Job with bells on, and a frequently compelling thesis thanks to Ashcroft's crack team of talking heads -- economists, whistleblowers and Noam Chomsky, all talking with candour and clarity." - Total Film

"Four Horsemen is a breathtakingly composed jeremiad against the folly of Neo-classical economics and the threats it represents to all we should hold dear."
- Harold Crooks, The Corporation (Co-Director) Surviving Progress (Co-Director/Co-Writer)
