Edge A Caution: America's Academia-dementia

Years ago it was instilled in us Americans that education was the way "out" of this predicament in life called "poverty," a condition maintained in our social system known on this blog as: Boring for dollars, the pyramid scam.

Now it's the schools that have learned how to make some dough and a few middle men seize the advantages of the game of "Edge A Caution": America the debt trappers.

Student Loans

Can't crack the old bankruptcy stick in case of emergency when your dealing yourself into the student loan card shark game.

Therefore it's a con game with an end game that could favor or disfavor, depending on the luck of the overdrawn.

Private schools such as the "alma doesn't matta" home of Kern Valley Healthcare District Cheif Financial officer, Chester Beedle, LaVerne University are an ever expanding franchise business opportunity. And teaching business is one of their specialties.

It appears as a do what we do. Find a gravy train and make a splash. And don't worry about mashing a few potatoes while boarding this "loco" motive.

Phoenix University rose from the ashes of a burned out system, not the elusive "seat of enlightment" but of a vocational splintered industry designed to paper train with immense paper trails.

It's costing too many who haven't a scholarship or a penthouse quorum at the top pyramid scam economy, and the students who falter for this bait then tackled proposition can expect to be hounded by the ever growing "debt collection" industry in case of late or non-payment.

They say Volume is the key, well the mirth makers of this loving society, have pumped it up.

I recieved a phone call the other day from one of the beneficiaries of these "hire than you are" education dealers.

These specialized colleges of no repute, prepackage their wares, offer two and four year degrees in heavily marketed career areas such as--Criminology-- national security-- or film making--a mutual menu of specialization.

--And they have a middle man.

His job is to size up the potential to simply get a warm human body to take a loan to pay for an education which may or may not be worth the cost--or guarantee any sort of pay or job in these industries--but will infuse money and possibly hope to those starved of either. No credit required or taken.

I asked this savvy solicitor who had been transferred from a front caller, who originally called to survey my educational needs. She suddenly dropped from the line and a male, more manipulative voice took over.

Before he got too far into convincing me of my education inadequacies, I interrupted and asked what business he was in. Who was he associated with and how did he make money.

Quickly he bragged that the company calling me, (or actually hired an independent telephone solicitation firm to cold call and transferred me to them) was a Fortune 500 race car of a company.

And he added they had risen to the top quickly--an industry leader for three years, he crowed.

There must be some easy footholds when climbing the ladder made of the hopes and dreams of young, aspiring, even more so, of desperate, hungry, out-of-work, Americans.

"Wow," I asked him, "who pays you?"

These ever growing school franchises are pushing dollars at "dough" nuts who don't need much to figure out a way to push "easy loans" to the poor and "undercertifiable" and I had one of these beneficiaries of the US educational system on the phone.

Not only did I learn that his company makes millions selling a dream to an insomniac population, I imagined that with a cost of 50 thousand pyramid scam dollars to complete a Bachelor's in Criminology, that Someone should get to the crime scene of this world of "Akademonic" dollars for a look&see.

These costly, over inflated programs are backed and insured by the US Government's "Go and Get 'em" student loan collection industry thriving and driving it's own Fortune 500 mobile.

"Oh sorry you're barely making it, or couldn't find a job- or had to take any damn job in any damn industry-so sorry but you are NEVER going to escape your "Stewedint" loan. Oooo, ha, ha, ha, ha (evil laugh).

It's a new list: Death, taxes, student loans (Cal Mtg. loans to underserved rural healthcare Districts)

So we have the college with all the knowlege, along with inter-nets to hold all the fishy schools, which have some FUNding to pay for this man on my telephone making his fortune peddling "higher education monies" for his "friendors" the vendors of candy bar in the sky exams.

These college franchises don't have to do much to reduce overhead, as campus free, is "frat free," and they can afford to feed a bolemic sales force, binging and purging, for potential students. And the colleges spring into business everywhere under this government fortified bulwark of serial entrapment.

Tiny strip malls, with aged wooded siding, will do--or an office building floor--many programs require nothing special in terms of a campus or equipment, or the bothersome task of housing and counseling of students. It appears the "financial counseling" takes place in a call or two, transfer student, to the loan program.

Some more specailized University types do provide a campus with smaller satellite units orbiting their home base. And there is also a trend toward all colleges to go on-line as there are benefits and costs accounted for--But what is lost in intelligent design and human interaction is "written off" as unnecessary.

Many of these colleges are Cheap to operate, "Laptop Learning" teachers can teach in their underwear from their car, and certainly no creativity required as they are following college cirriculum or template or cookie cutter, provided then certified by another member of the gang on this chain.

With that irritating "student-teacher" relationship laid to rest, there's only some paperwork for the office workers at the college who got their own certified "AA" degrees around the corner at an old TAco Bell building.

Burdened with their own student loans, these office personnel possibly get $10 an hour to  make half the country richer by shuffling the paperwork of Crony created colleges spawning bags of money for middle men and end players who have a RIGGED playing field.

The government provides, does it not, the playing field? Lol All the legislation, licensing, certifications, loan approval qualifications, classifications, designations, board and directors, all of these to make sure that American's can have a chance at....(Oh YEAH BABY, a FORTUNE 500 company with Porsche and arrogance included)

Umm, an Education?

Vocational and profanely profitable, who would have thought? Oh well the student loans for "truckers licenses" and "Medical Office Assisting" got this show of a program and industry generator up and running.

It's just been taken to "higher student loan indebtedness level."

"Wanna be somebody? Not a nasty old poverty ridden, shoe dwelling, old maid--or change your useless, disabled, "made in a China shop" bullshit existence? 

Come aboard "Captain Corrupto's" titanic educational ferry across the seas of anonymity, obscurity, and poverty into the world of "HIGHER VOCATION." 

What a success story! I practically want to weep.

Clear the air...

Living in the Kern River Valley, one must endure the daily flight pattern of a seeming overzealous, pompous military presence on an extraordinarily regular basis.

Choppers, fighter planes, cargo units--even large triangular shaped "thingys" with great mufflers to help them pass silently above our heads--criss crossing trails of smoke forming grids in the sky.

Is it the "Show me" kids from China Lake or China or wherever? I don't know, but they do seem to love their toys.

"Top gun to stun gun, come in...when do we get the facts that matter?" 

Yeah, that's what I said. It's my preference to use the weapons of mass communication or what we "first amendment" types might call ourselves: "verbavoires."

Maybe some prefer the second amendment, pull a gun and shoot, type of posturing? The moment you bite on that bullet, you may get gut shot with a storehouse of government gunpowder.

It appears to me the "mili vanilli tary" lip syncs to this 2nd amendment as there is an arsenal of weapons to point at its own citizenry.

Yawn, stretch--BORED!

So what--they can create jazzy jets, zippy stuff in the sky, bomb and burn and beam, blast or blare--or just control? Woo hoo!

These are the great thinkers of our time?

Something's off, and I smell a diaper. Someone has not changed the baby in a while, and the only explanation I can possibly attribute to this mess of a world, is on the disorder of a "Lord of the Flies" scenario.

Who has the conch shell?

These "scrotums with modems" have now trained the youngest generation to "run" their toys with a handset from a desk or a coffee shop; they created an army of couch potatoes too obese to run across a physical battle field.

But these children are in the other room of your house practicing to become a militarized mind on the X box as we speak.

These flights of fancy flying machines, these displays such as a territorial mockingbird, solidify my suspicion that we are dealing with the most "IMMATURE" aspects of this errant world.

So, what about a real game?

Word processor or pen or pencil?--choose your weapon. lol

Please don't bore us with a game of drones, this most certainly a show of weakness.

The reticence of the military is well known, also called "stonewalling," but it's time to get some courage and drop the real "bomb shell" known as the TRUTH.

The focus can simply be on how to agree we DO have a problem, Houston...

The problems are pervasive, on every level of this game-- the environment, the weather, the governments, and the minds and hearts of all who live this mess.

"Boring for Dollars" is I label the pyramid scam, illusory, economy, a rudimentary game of power for beginners, where exclusive groups pull the strings, vying for top of the food chain status.

It appears to me to be an uncreative force, blocking, dividing, addicting and cruelly imprisoning those within its mindset.

There are those "special" types who are not selling out to this already "sold out" crowd. They appear to be in the minority, I sadly report.

Only the powerless would need to build up a military--an overcompensation I suggest. But for what? Is the government protecting us or protecting its own interests or protecting itself?

The KRV is also now occupied with the "Army corn of in-gin ears" as they "cell" us on the idea of how we have the most dangerous "Dam" in-the-nation.

Boring for dollars systematically breeds (greeds) these paid welfare recipients of a political bent, to do its bidding. These puppets are actively being fed dollars to go forth and expand their Waste lines and lands.

We don't have an open, transparent communication on this "Dam" the "austerity is for suckers" project. There are probably as many unique reasons as there are mouths to feed.

So we passively call these transgressions of forthrightness, elder abuse or scams, "water under the bridge."  Are we conditioned to "look the other way?"

We accept, are complicit with, the lowest of energies. Paralysis of the possibility, we are more, and we are better, than we have thus far experienced.

So please, with humble, yet grumble, I seek to find answers with TRUTH and COMPASSION as to why this is all necessary.

They say the room for improvement is the largest room in the world, I say the world needs to make room for improvements in its home field advantages....

New Year: Facing the Cliff Hanger...

The Wish List is washy....

It's not a stretch to simply look around, look at the cities, the countryside, the NEWS media, and wonder to yourself: This is the best humanity can do?

Really? We, this advanced, intelligent (?), race, we label ourselves, yet we see healthcare without care, money grabbers and log rollers of the political welfare system, an unbalanced legal system, a class war, and yet we sweep faster as the rug shrinks.

KVHD, the Kern Valley Healthcare District, exemplifies a serious problem with simple Spoon fed theatrics such as the recent CEO severance, security package.

A reference was made to the CEO's "Special need's child."

No more of this, it's offensive to those who have special needs and expect something for their own loved ones. Using the personal issue in an attempt receive board support for financial gain, while offering NO services in the hospital for the local community, seems one sided.

Maybe a combination, put the same $250K given to Mr. McGlew in case of sudden termination, into a PROGRAM FOR THE KRV....Simple and Fair.

But No such thoughts were on the agenda.

The Special needs of the McGlew outweigh the needs of the McMany....

I love Literature

I cannot help but enjoy the loosed tongue I feel needs to speak directly or metaphorically, rhetorically but whatever it takes to highlight the loss of truth in EVERY sector of our lives.

KVHD started a fire, and as Billy JOel sang in the 80's "We didn't Start the Fire, it's been burning since the world's been turning...

But What I say is "WE DIDN'T STOP the FIRE either."

Now it's time to face the huge, fear evoking, mess.

And my interest is in this great big, scam, "BORING FOR DOLLARS." People are monopolized in AMerica with Utility companies, billings that HIDE a shell game of tax and take, rules in favor of Corporate America.

Microsoft, Verizon, Hughes Net, Chase, Goldman Sachs, all big names in the business of pickpocketing, some strong arming, JUST they are doing it electronically now.

When the Electric Smart Meters arrived how dumb were we? This switch, forced with penalties financial, also pushed a product onto the stock market which made a lot of money. The meters were now in demand, as well as stocks and profits.

Did any of us "user" end types benefit? No.

But we did BAIL out the country right, with our tax dollars, so we should be included in these "benefits?"

WHY NOT? I ask that question.

I have many questions, as the cronie machine mulches away the bottom tier of the pyramid scam called the e-con-omy.

My work is about fair play, that cannot be attained without HONESTLY examining the playing field, which certainly seems slanted. The truth, good intentions, compassion, face uphill conditions,  against the wind-- while those who slant the truth to fit a fearful audience, or a selfish agenda, seem  to have a downhill ride with the wind at their backs.

I need to know why.....................................................................???????
