Topic: "Something in Commons"(5)
The following is not a test, it merely addresses a point. Stanley O'Neal, John Thain, Chris Cox, Rick Wagoner, and George W. Bush all have "what" in common? O'Neal and Thain are the last two executive officers of Merrill-Lynch, Chris Cox was Chairman of the Securities & Exchange Commission, Rick Wagoner the recently ousted CEO of GM, and, of course, the Incomparable Moron himself. Each of these men, famous and infamous in their own right, share a Masters in Business Administration awarded by Harvard University.
The University has recognized the fact that it bears some culpability in the lack of accomplishment achieved by many of its alumni. The University argues that many of its most non-descript attended classes more than 30 years ago, when risk management, macroeconomics, and leadership were not functional portions of the curriculum. In order to address the apparent problems, the University has initiated a case study approach in order to analyze the business school, not unlike the approach taken to analyze companies and industries by students in the business school itself. 217 Professors, the entire faculty, participate in the analysis.
As Secretary of the Treasury Geitner might say, "Let's step back for just a moment," and take a hard look at the situation.
Harvard recognizes that its' methodology is not working effectively, so what to do? They use the same methodology in order to analyze themselves, and to recommend solutions. At the College of the Shire, Gandalf, 30 years ago, told Frodo that such a course of action contributed significantly to the tragic decision of the United States to involve itself in the Republic of Vietnam. Perhaps, thinks Frodo, the problem at Harvard is not with the methodology, perhaps it is with the faculty. THe faculty does not understand the problem, and they do not appear to be competent in devising meaningful solutions.
One graduate, Class of 2006, recently wrote that Harvard business degrees are now "scarlet letters of shame," and he continued "Time after time and scandal after scandal, it seems that a school that just graduates 900 students a year finds itself in the thick of it." The deputy dean, JoAnne Yates, added that "We would like our students, when they graduate, to understand not just quantitative instruments but how they fit into the whole world around finance. We don't want them to think it is games with numbers. There's a certain self-consciousness now that we may be part of the problem. . .Maybe a piece of what's missing is not another course in ethics but the ability to think beyond the data and take action based on good instincts."
Well, duh!
Frodo would like, dear reader, to note that many of the business school students receive federal grants-in-aid, financed by taxpayer funds. Perhaps, not unlike Mr. Wagoner referenced above, it would behoove the President to exercise his authority on behalf of the investing taxpayers, and to request the resignation of all 217 faculty members. He could start in alphabetical order, or if he felt constrained by tenure agreements, simply fire the last hired, and to proceed thereupon.
The business school faculty at Harvard University has produced a generation of business and governmental leaders who were not adequately prepared to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, and now, dear reader, we have the proof. Frodo wonders how many years of confinement should be applied to someone for being a shitty teacher?

Punk subculture
The following is an incomplete list of punk rock music festivals. This list may have some overlap with list of rock festivals and list of heavy metal festivals. Punk is a rock music genre that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. By 1976 the first festivals were being organized.[1]

European Punk Rock Festival 1976 Mont de Marsan In August 1976, the self-described "First European Punk Rock Festival" was held in Mont de Marsan in the southwest of France. Eddie and the Hot Rods, a London pub rock group, headlined. The Sex Pistols, originally scheduled to play, were dropped by the organizers who said the band had gone "too far" in demanding top billing and certain amenities; The Clash backed out in solidarity. The only band from the new punk movement to appear was The Damned.[2] Organised by Zermati, took place at Mont-de-Marsan on 21 August 1976, and featured French bands Bijou, Il Biaritz and Shakin' Street, as well as The Damned.[3]

Yoon Ji Sung Gears For Acting Debut In Upcoming Romance Drama
By Khrizvyy | April 14, 2021
Yoon Ji Sung has a new project in store for him this year!
K-pop soloist Yoon Ji Sung will be making his acting debut on the small screen soon.
Just recently, the artist's agency, LM Entertainment, announced the exciting news to fans. "Yoon Ji Sung has confirmed his appearance in the upcoming drama I Will Become Your Night, which is scheduled to premiere in the second half of the year."
I Will Become Your Night is an upcoming romance drama. It revolves around the story of an idol who's suffering from sleepwalking and an in-house doctor who moved into the group's dorm to secretly treat him.
The former WANNA ONE leader will portray the role of Kim Yoo Chan, the drummer of the idol band called Luna. He debuted as a child actor when he was seven years old and got the nickname "The Nation's Son", but it was quickly forgotten. Chasing his dreams as an artist, he then became the drummer of Luna.
Previously, the soloist showcased his acting skills and vocal prowess in musicals. I Will Become Your Night will mark his very first acting role in a drama.
Meanwhile, in recent news, Yoon Ji Sung is also busily preparing for his upcoming album. Titled Temperature of Love, his second mini-album will be released on April 15.

UAE Consumer Q&As: Do Supermarkets Have a Right to Set Their Own Prices for Goods?
It is not unusual here in UAE to compare products from your own country to the goods they are selling here. Some will notice it expensive, and others will be delighted because it's cheaper compared to others. And in this week in the daily newspaper The National, I clarified issues regarding product prices here in UAE to lessen confusions and complains.
In UAE, it is shop or market owner's discretion whether they will accept different currencies for the payment of goods or not. You will notice some of the product or service provider especially on some locations that they are accepting different currency, there is no general rule for it and because they are here in the UAE, accepting the country's currency is a must.
Supermarkets or suppliers in UAE has a right to set prices on their own products. There is no law governing this price change and they are not also obliged to set a standard price on each products. As long as the price label is clearly displayed, there will be no breach on the consumer law.
As an expat living here in UAE, it's not common that you will encounter products that costs higher compared on the price in your country. Others maybe complained with this issue, requesting for justification of the price. Suppliers and sellers are not obliged or required to justify charging products in high price. They are different factors that affects pricing of products like charges on delivery, demand or expenses that sellers pay for acquiring the products. It's up to the consumer whether to buy it or not. There is no breach incurred by the seller or supplier on the product cost, as long as the label are displayed clearly and readable. According to Article 4 of Law No. 24 of 2006, administrative department of consumer protection has a right to observe price turnover and limiting its increase.


It's that time of year for…. SALADS!
You see, eating a big ol' bowl full of vegetables and plant based protein is completely satisfying.
Do you get enough greens in your diet? What kind of greens do you eat?
This is a great time to add new green vegetables to your diet. Whether they are raw, cooked, juiced, or blended- does not matter. Try new ways! If you don't quite have the taste in your pallet for greens yet, keep trying and you will soon surprise yourself. The health promoting qualities are amazing: balance ph, essential fatty acids and minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, and a variety of phyto-nutrients including beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin.
Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Then mix (by hand or blender) the dressing ingredients. Hand mix the dressing into the lovely salad.
Please feel free to modify to your taste and preferences. Enjoy!
Let's hear some feedback on the hot yoga classes!

Proteins in your runny nose could reveal a viral infection
It may seem obvious, but the key to confirming whether someone is suffering from a cold or flu virus might lie at the misery's source — the inflamed passages of the nose and throat.
Duke Health scientists have identified a group of proteins that, when detected in specific quantities in the mucous, are 86 percent accurate in confirming the infection is from a cold or flu virus, according to a small, proof-of-concept trial published online in the journal EBioMedicine.
The researchers hope their initial work identifying the protein signature could aid the development of a quick, noninvasive doctor's office test to determine the cause of upper respiratory illness and appropriate treatment.
"Every day, people are taking time off from work, going to emergency rooms, urgent care or their primary care doctors with symptoms of an upper respiratory infection," said Geoffrey S. Ginsburg, M.D., Ph.D., a senior author of the paper and director of the Duke Center for Applied Genomics & Precision Medicine (DCAGPM), which led the study. "Looking for these proteins could be a relatively easy and inexpensive way of learning if a person has a viral infection, and if not, whether the use of antibiotics is appropriate."
Although upper respiratory infections are among the most common reasons people visit the doctor in the U.S., health care providers lack tools to distinguish between a bacterial infection that might warrant antibiotics and a viral infection that would instead call for symptom relief.
Widespread use of antibiotics for upper respiratory infections don't benefit patients with viral illness and can contribute to antibiotic-resistant superbugs, Ginsburg said. More precise diagnoses of these infections could be another tool to curb the development of superbugs, he said.
For the trial, researchers infected 88 healthy adult volunteers with a common strain of cold or flu virus.
Some participants didn't get sick. Among those who developed infections, researchers found a distinct set of 25 proteins in fluid samples they gathered by flushing about 2 teaspoons of saline through the participant's nasal passages.
Duke researchers in genomics and precision medicine have spent the past decade exploring strategies for differentiating bacterial and viral infections with the goal of developing cost-effective diagnostic tools doctors could use in their offices.
"In the past, science has focused on identifying the pathogen someone is infected with in the blood or other sample," said lead author Thomas Burke, Ph.D., director of technology advancement and diagnostics at the DCAGPM. "Our approach flips the paradigm of how we look for infection. Instead of looking for the pathogen, we study the individual's response to that pathogen and signature patterns in their genes, proteins, metabolites and other biomarkers."
The Duke team has previously explored blood tests to examine a patient's RNA for gene signatures to distinguish bacterial and viral infections in the upper respiratory tract and is working with a private company to develop potential diagnostics.
Analyzing proteins in mucous is a less invasive approach and requires less processing than blood samples. The researchers hope additional studies verify the initial results and lead to the development of a paper-based test that could be used in doctor's offices or even at home to determine whether a doctor's visit is necessary, said Christopher Woods, M.D., a senior author and associate director of applied genomics at the DCAGPM.
"The protein targets offer a faster, more cost-effective model for rapid screening and diagnoses of viral infections," Woods said. "If the data are verified, the model could be valuable in many circumstances, such as rural settings or developing countries with less convenient access to health care, or even as an airport screening tool during an outbreak of a particularly threatening strain of flu."

How Israel pressures BBC into changing headlines
Amena Saleem Media Watch 19 November 2015
Before (left) and after: a BBC headline was changed to obscure the fact Israeli killed a Palestinian in cold blood. (Screenshots by Media Lens)
In the early hours of 12 November, approximately two dozen Israeli gunmen, one disguised as a pregnant Palestinian woman, others wearing fake beards, invaded a hospital in Hebron and gunned down a 28-year-old man.
In a rare burst of reporting on an Israeli atrocity, the BBC ran an article on its website headlined: "Israelis shoot dead Palestinian in Hebron hospital raid."
It was a straightforward headline which summed up the story. But later in the day, a different headline appeared above the report, reading: "Israelis in disguise raid Hebron hospital, seizing suspect."
As is standard practice for the BBC, the amendment was not noted at the bottom of the page, so newcomers to the story would not have known the headline had been altered.
It was spotted, however, by the watchdog Media Lens, which posted a screengrab of the two headlines on its Facebook page, asking: "What happened? Pro-Israeli flak? Bending to pro-Israeli pressure?"
These questions are even more pertinent in the light of a documented exchange which took place between the BBC, the Israeli Government Press Office (GPO) and the Israeli embassy in London at the beginning of October about another of the broadcaster's headlines.
Headline changes
The Times of Israel reported then on Israeli fury sparked by the 4 October BBC Online headline "Palestinian shot dead after Jerusalem attack kills two."
The headline is factually correct, but offense was caused to Israel's PR machine because the killing of 19-year-old Muhannad Halabi took precedence in the headline over the slaying of two Israelis.
The Times of Israel wrote: "The [Israeli] Government Press Office on Sunday warned the BBC it could face sanctions for running a news headline highlighting the death of the Palestinian terrorist shot by the police Saturday after fatally stabbing two Israelis, rather than the attack itself."
The website added that a "harshly worded letter was sent to Richard Palmer, the head of the BBC Bureau in Israel, by the head of the GPO," and that "the Israeli Embassy in London asked the network to change the headline."
Whatever the GPO's harsh words were, they appear to have been enough to scare the BBC into changing the headline, which went through three alterations – documented by the Zionist lobby group BBC Watch – before it met with the satisfaction of the Israeli embassy and the Israeli GPO.
The Israeli-approved headline ran: "Jerusalem: Palestinian kills two Israelis in Old City."
(This headline has since been changed again, apparently unnoticed by either the Israeli embassy or the GPO, to "Israelis killed in Jerusalem, Palestinians banned from Old City.")
In its report of 4 October, The Times of Israel noted: "According to a GPO official, Israel expects an official apology from the network, and said the office was considering annulling the press cards of BBC journalists, a decision that if implemented would not allow the network to continue operating in Israel."
This is not an idle threat, and BBC staff know it.
"A very evil light"
In 2003, the Israeli government severed ties with the corporation, accusing it of the "worst of Nazi propaganda" after it broadcast the documentary Israel's Secret Weapon which shed light on the country's nuclear and chemical arsenal.
Danny Seaman, then head of the Israeli GPO, said it was "because of what we feel to be a bias and an anti-Israel line … that portray Israel in a very evil light." Seaman said government officials would no longer help BBC journalists get expedited press accreditation.
When Orla Guerin, then a BBC Middle East correspondent, questioned Israel's repressive attitude towards the corporation, she too found herself in the Israeli government's line of fire.
In an interview with the London Evening Standard in 2003, she said, "How can you still be a democracy and try to harass the press? This is not how a democracy behaves."
Guerin was later pulled from the Middle East, the decision being announced just days after the BBC's director general at the time, Mark Thompson, returned from a visit to Israel in 2005 where he met with then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Journalist Keith Dovkants, writing in the London Evening Standard in 2012, noted that "on [Thompson's] return to London the corporation instituted the Middle East reporting regime that exists today and which, many believe, influenced the decision to refuse to show the charity aid appeal for Gaza."
This is a reference to the Disasters Emergency Committee appeal of January 2009, which was aired by major television channels to raise money for Gaza as another Israeli massacre there came to an end. But the BBC, in an unprecedented move, refused to show it.
Arthur Neslen, a journalist who worked at the BBC for four years, told me: "They take Israeli calls very seriously, and critical stories about Israel get shot down through official pressure and the fear of official pressure. These are very powerful lobbyists — people know their careers can be broken."
Swedish academic and media expert Leon Barkho told Dovkants: "I have investigated this and I am convinced [BBC] policy is dictated from the top because of the enormous sensitivity … The message is: don't antagonize the Israelis."
And so the questions asked by Media Lens when the BBC amends a headline to soften public perception of an Israeli crime — "What happened? Pro-Israeli flack? Bending to pro-Israeli pressure?" – answer themselves.
It is a sad state of affairs for a news organization which prides itself as a leader in global journalism. BBC journalists and editors, it would seem, sit at their desks in London and cower in fear at the thought of an angry phone call from the Israeli embassy.
They let us all down, but, most of all, they let down the Palestinian people, whose cry for freedom goes unheard at BBC Broadcasting House, drowned out by the undemocratic machinations of the Israeli PR machine.

Just who do these colonials think they are, trying to dictate what the British people are allowed to hear. I suspect the effort is so consistently directed at the BBC because their journalistic standards are so much higher than the rest of the mass media (not high enough, but still better). Thus not only Brits but many others tend to trust the BBC as far more impartial than the commercial or state-controlled media that otherwise dominate. Correcting issues of fact is one thing, but bullying about the wording of headlines, and making threats is intolerable. Time the British government started campaigning for the Israel media to start accurately reporting its WMD, assassinations, child-murder, corruption etc. How can a government which exerts strict military and security censorship, and whose own own journalists are largely servile (some wonderful exceptions like Gideon Levy and Amira Hass) have such chutzpah as to lecture the rest of the world?

Why not tell the Israelis to naff off?
I wonder if they've ever thought of that. Or considered it. If someone was bullying me, at work or in the street, that would be the first response I would want to make. But not the BBC. Why?
Thank the Lord Harry that I don't pay the BBC's licence fee. Because I found your news output so unbalanced, so devoid of actual news and analysis from the Middle-East, Europe, the Americas (there's more than one America, BBC) I finally told the BBC to naff off. And it felt good...
We have our own Zionist media pressure group.

In Canada, the well funded (and ironically titled) "Honest Reporting" will attack any reporter or mainstream publication which presents a balanced report on Israel... which includes ANYthing which might impune the perfection of "The Only Democracy" (TM).
This includeds moblizing a blizzard of letters to the publications, editors, supervisors of those responsible. CBC Jerusalem-based reporter Derek Stoffel has been ridiculously one sided for years. When (experienced Mid-East reporter) Margaret Evans replaced him for a time and presented a more balanced view CBC was attacked for its antisemitism.... she's no longer there. I don't know that she wasn't simply providing Mr. Stoffel with vacation relief but it does seem suspicious.
Fortunately "Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Mid East" and "Independant Jewish Voices" often share info on H.R.'s attacks.

Calls to ban the burka in some EU countries is raising tensions amongst the Muslim community and those of us that do not have fears around women choosing this type of clothing. The bigotry argument stated is a false pretence to marginalise sections of our communities.
It seems we have to fear more from Israelis dressing as pregnant Palestinian women and wearing false beards in order to unlawfully kill a Palestinian in a hospital.
Should we ban Israelis from the EU as they could prove to be a terrorist in disguise or maybe ban all beards and pregnant women?

Like a mariner lost in the fog searching for dry land, the music industry wandered into the digital zone over ten years ago. Since then, it has been zig zagging, sailing in circles and only sometimes moving closer to the goal of evolving its business model to fit new realities. The film industry looked on from a distance, content that movie files were too big to be traded and swapped as easily as music.
But as the Walrus and the Carpenter smiled at the hapless oysters [before eating them] in Lewis Carroll's classic poem, technology has now arrived to visit the film industry. The widespread adoption of high speed bandwidth means that downloading or streaming a movie file is becoming common. So is Hollywood managing change more efficiently than the music industry? Not so much, judging by the latest tussle between film studios and theater owners.
A followup Wrap article presents the other side of the argument saying that predictions of doom are premature since most box office runs are largely over by the time the new windows would take effect. Paramount and Disney have not signed on to the plan, leaving Warner Bros., FOX, Universal and Sony to face the wrath of the theaters. Theaters have fired back at studios by demanding to renegotiate ticket percentages for movies that are part of the new plan.
Music observers will likely see some parallels between the two entertainment industries. The film group is in the process of realizing they will have to give consumers what they want, when they want it or suffer the consequences. Today's increasingly on demand media world means this issue will not go away simply by ignoring it. Theaters are going to have to find ways to make the big screen experience so attractive they can compete with watching at home and shorter windows of exclusivity. Digital piracy will also exert a stronger influence over release schedules as the ability to toss feature film files across the Internet continues to improve.
Exactly how the ending will play out for the film industry is unclear, but they are right to experiment and find better ways to meet consumer needs. The music industry was slow to embrace change and has spent over a decade suffering falling sales and decreasing revenues. Let's hope Hollywood has learned from those mistakes.

The Visionless Society
Posted on January 1, 2018 by Arlen Grossman
By Chris Hedges/ Truthdig/ December 31, 2017
Imagine yourself in early 2019. The Democrats, despite never articulating a political vision other than not being Donald Trump and refusing to roll back Republican legislation such as the 2017 tax bill, have regained the House of Representatives by a slim majority. They vote articles of impeachment. The Senate Republicans, pressured by many within their own party to abandon Trump because of his ineptitude, increasingly erratic behavior and corruption, call on the president to resign. Trump refuses. He uses the megaphone of his office to incite violence by his small, fanatic base. The military, whose deployment as a domestic police force is authorized by Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act, is called into the streets to quell unrest. The United States, by the time the violence is snuffed out, is a de facto military dictatorship.
That such a scenario is plausible to public figures such as Ralph Nader is a sign of the deep decay of democratic institutions. The two major political parties lack a coherent vision. They are subservient to corporate power. They have abandoned the common good. They have turned politics into burlesque. They have rendered the citizenry impotent. The press, especially the electronic press, has transformed news into a grotesque reality show filled with trivia, gossip and conjecture. The elites in both parties, along with the rich and corporations, profit from a naked kleptocracy. Everything is for sale, from public lands to public education. And the juggernaut of corporate power impoverishes the people as it willfully destroys the facade of the hollowed-out democratic state.
"There is no democracy," Nader said when I reached him by phone in Connecticut. "The only democracy left in this country is they don't haul you to jail for speaking out. What's left of democracy is a significant due process, habeas corpus, freedom of speech and probable cause, and that's violated when there's a terrorist attack and people are rounded up, like Muslim Americans.
"Can there be a democracy when you don't have a competitive electoral system?" he asked. "No. Can there be a democracy when people who come in second win the election? No. Can there be a democracy when it's tougher to get on the ballot than in any other Western country in the world by an order of magnitude? No. Can there be a democracy when money rules? And not just the money that politicians raise, but the third-party money. No. Can there be a democracy when people have no influence on the military budget? No. It's not subjected to hearings. It's ratified on the floor of the House and Senate, but it doesn't go through the appropriations process. It's subject to the most anemic, pathetic, servile questioning you can imagine. The Congress has destroyed any kind of democratic participation … in the military and foreign policy. The Congress is [supposed to be] invested in the sovereignty of the people. They [those in Congress] do not comply with the Constitution and the declaration of war authority. They don't comply with the appropriations process. They have increasingly less public hearings. They are cocooned on Capitol Hill with a force field of money, militarism and materialism. Self-interests block the American people, who can hardly call their member of Congress [because the calls are diverted to voicemail]. This is the latest racket.
"Trump is playing rope-a-dope with the Democrats," Nader continued. "He's such an inviting target — all the lies, the stupidity, the outrage, the racism, the misogyny — they can't resist. As a result, they're weakening themselves by not having an affirmative agenda. They're still talking about how they can learn how to connect with the average person. Can you imagine? It's now the end of 2017. They're trying to figure out a message."
House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Nader noted, has adopted the mantra "money, message, and mobilization" for the party. "If you start with money, what kind of a message are you going to have?" he asked. "If you don't have a message, what are you going to mobilize around? So here it is. They still haven't learned because they will never learn. The party will always be weak, flabby, indentured and dialing for the same commercial dollars as long as the four-time losers continue to run the party…. The country is spinning into the abyss."
The Democrats have never called for an audit of the Pentagon's massive and bloated military budget. They do not address corporate crime, champion consumer protection, promote the rights of workers or demand a living wage or full Medicare for all. And because they stand for nothing other than the politesse of identity politics and high-blown liberal rhetoric they have been unable to protect the country from the worst generation of the Republican Party in the nation's history.
"They don't even know how to have sonorous political language," Nader said. "They're stealing from you — my fellow Americans. A handful of corporate, greedy bosses controlling your government on this national stage and local level, gouging out whole communities, sending industries to fascist communist regimes abroad. They have no loyalties to this country. They have no allegiance to communities other than to exploit them, abandon them. They rose to power on the backs of you, the workers. They were subsidized by Washington and state capitals, by you the taxpayer. The Marines bailed them out when they got into hot water, palling around with dictators and monarchs. Why do you allow them to rule you?"
Nader said the ruling elites have "lost the fear of the people." This has given rise to "a multifaceted dictatorial government indentured to the plutocratic class symbolized by Wall Street."
Corporations, enjoying a new tax code that reduces corporate income taxes to 21 percent while individuals pay up to 37 percent, have been awarded the constitutional rights of individuals while individuals have been stripped of their rights.
"The Constitution is increasingly a dead letter," Nader said.
Corporate media companies view the news division as a revenue stream. They collude with Trump in the daily Gong Show that masquerades as news.
"Trump took the press from profanity to obscenity," Nader said. "He learned some lessons from 'The Apprentice.' He realized the media, with a few exceptions, will do anything for ratings and money. What does he do? He goes down the sensuality ladder. He starts talking openly about racism, rapists and sex, grab them wherever you want and get away with it. They [the media] go wild. That destroyed all the opponents in the Republican primary. Knocked them out day after day, as the press went after sensuality. The coarseness, the brutishness. There's always a novel attack. He kept them catching up with him. One day he goes after [Sen. Marco] Rubio. Another day, he goes after Hillary. Another day, a veteran family.
"When The New York Times has two pages of tiny print of Trump's lies, what impact does it have unless there are remedies and mobilizations that use that material to strengthen the opposition to replace him?" Nader asked. "After a while, people just shrug their shoulders and go back to playing video games. The margin for the defeat of the Democrats by the Republicans can be attributed sufficiently to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and all these creeps. They have a massive soliloquy, day after day after day with no rebuttal. And they've got the blue-collar worker that way. What kind of a population on the left of center would have allowed that to happen? Using our public airwaves for free."
Nader said he feared that the population was so effectively anesthetized by mass culture that it might not rise up against the elites. "The U.S. has developed a society with an almost indeterminate absorptive capacity for injustice, abuse and degradation," Nader said. "There is no civic education in the schools. They don't know what the Constitution is. They don't know what the law of torts is. They don't know where the town hall is. They're living in virtual reality, swinging between big-screen TV and their cellphones. They're wallowing in text messages. To an extent, they're excited by the workings of the minds symbolized by Wall Street and Silicon Valley. That's the young generation. Great changes start with people in their 20s. But look what you've got now. You've got 10 years of internet connection, cellphones available to any child.
"That's one. The second is 24/7 entertainment. The third is the abandonment by the elderly generation. They've sort of given up. They don't know the gadgetry. They don't know the language. They have their own economic insecurity. They're not extending any kind of historical experience to the young that contains severe warnings. Watch out. You don't think it can happen again, [but] it can happen again and again. There's no verbal, oral tradition between the generations. Less and less. Then you have the political system, which is deep-sinking the society. How are people going to mobilize themselves? Is there a strong union, a labor movement? No. A strong consumer movement? No. They're losing their privacy. They're losing their ability to use legal tender. The corporate coercion is, to a degree, now getting rid of cash. Marx never believed that could happen. Why do they want to get rid of cash? They want to drive everybody into an incarcerated penitentiary that is surrounded by mobile payments, credit cards, credit scores, credit ratings, debit cards, constant debt, invasion of privacy, and the ability to assess penalties, charges and unwanted purchases because they control people's money. That's Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo got away with 3 million forced, unknown and unwanted credit card sales, auto insurance sales, repairing their ratings. Some people lost their cars and their homes. They're flipped over into bankruptcy. Nobody has been prosecuted yet."
Compounding the decay is the collapse of the legal profession, a problem exacerbated by Trump's stacking of the federal courts with incompetent and far-right judges selected by groups such as The Federalist Society. The courts, he said, have already destroyed the freedom of contract and the law of torts. They have repeatedly revoked constitutional rights by judicial fiat, ruling, for example, that unlimited campaign contributions by corporations is a form of free speech and the right to petition the government.
Wall Street and the big banks, bailed out in 2008, have returned to the games of speculation that led to the global financial collapse. And when the next collapse comes, the banks and Wall Street will again descend on the U.S. Treasury for trillions more in bailouts.
"The banks are making huge profits," Nader said. "Therefore, they're taking bigger risks. The consumer dollars are being transferred to corporate profits, that are now being transformed into stock buybacks in order to meet the criteria for higher compensation even if it's against the interest of their own company.
"From 2005 to 2014, you had $3.9 trillion of stock buybacks, 50 percent of all corporate net profits," he said. "Fifty percent of the top 500 corporations profited in that decade with stock buybacks. Not to better salaries or shoring up pension plans, not to dividends, not to research and development, not to productive capital and job creation. It's to stock buybacks. The biggest story untold, or minimally told, in the American economy today. With all this money repatriating from overseas and more corporate offices, they're planning more stock buybacks. It's like burning money.
"Walmart, instead of raising wages for its wage-starved masses, has about $65 billion stock buybacks in the last seven years," Nader said. "If you take a million Walmart workers and you give them a thousand dollars more a year, that's $1 billion. Multiply that by 60 to 70 times."
The speculation, which is trashing the country's economy, will continue, Nader said, until the financial system collapses and the U.S. defaults on its bonds.
Nader worries that as long as "10 to 15 percent of the American people are well-off" the elites will have enough support to continue the assault.
"Societies have been repressed by far smaller members of well-instituted upper classes," he said. "That's what we forget. Eighteenth-, 19th-, 20th-century Europe. A tiny clique controlled them. When there's any problem it flips over to dictatorship. As long as the contented classes are not upset, the system of control is in lock, like connecting gears.
"The corruption never ends," he said. "We're a gambling society. We bet on the future. We don't build the future. You've got casinos everywhere, video gambling. They're pushing for gambling on your mobile phone. They're pushing for legalization of gambling in sports. Then you got marijuana. Day after day there are stories about the legalization of marijuana. What's going to happen? It's already a big business. The paraphernalia. They don't write anything about legalizing industrial hemp. Which could be a significant industry in the country. All the farmers want it, and even the paper companies want it. And the DEA has still got it on a proscribed list. You got [Sen.] Rand Paul and [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell supporting legalization of hemp. It's not being pushed in Congress by the Democrats."
Resistance, Nader said, must be local. First we need to organize to take back our own communities, he said. Congressional seats have to be contested by grass-roots organizations that use the power of numbers to overwhelm mass media and corporate money. And we can expect the corporate state to attempt to shut out our message.
"Living wage, taxes, universal health insurance, that have 70 percent support or higher," Nader said in listing campaign issues. "Breaking up big banks, 90 percent support. Cracking down on corporate crime, similar. People need to give corporate crime a face. This is what happens to your credit. This is what happens to your home. This is what happens to your job. This is what happens to you if you have cancer. This is what happens in the hospital. This is what happens when you're denied health insurance; you can't cover your kids. It's pretty crazy when you can't make this kind of a pitch to a large audience."
The greed of the corporate state leaves us unprepared for the ravages of climate change, he warned. And by the time the elites respond it may be too late.
"It's a race," Nader said. "Once Miami gets inundated, especially Fisher Island, it might bring the wealthy class to their senses. The problem with solar is it needs a network. Solar panels are fine, but if you're going to have solar electricity you need a different type of grid system. That requires infrastructure investment.
"Justice needs money," he concluded, calling on enlightened elites to spend a billion dollars to fund resistance movements outside the Democratic Party. "The abolition movement needed money. The suffrage movement needed money. They got it from wealthy people. Civil rights movement. The Curry family. The Stern family. The early 1950s, 1960s. Environmental movements got money from rich people.
"Don't wait for the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is an instrument. On the first round you've got to use it and control it. On the third round, when you're mobilized, you can throw it aside. It's a hollowed feature that is a part of the duopoly. But it's there. These parties are very vulnerable. They're shells that rest on money and television ads that nobody likes. Unrebuttable right-wing talk radio. All these can be circumvented neighborhood by neighborhood, but you've got to have money. Labor halls are unoccupied. Veteran halls are unoccupied. Libraries are unoccupied. There are a lot of meeting places around. A lot of empty stores can be rented."

Home-Court Advantage:
Michael Massing
"This is a different kind of conflict," said General Richard B. Myers,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a Pentagon briefing in October. He was
speaking of the war on terrorism. "The closest analogy would be the drug war."
Since September 11, comparisons between the two wars have been rife: Both are
said to involve an elusive and resourceful enemy capable of inflicting tremendous
damage on the United States; both are cast as a long, drawn-out struggle that
requires concentrated efforts on multiple fronts; and both are led by a powerful
"czar" authorized to knock heads, challenge budgets, and mobilize resources.
Heaven help us. The war on drugs has been a dismal failure. Every year, the
federal government spends almost $20 billion to fight illicit drugs. It has
tracked planes in Peru, sent helicopters to Colombia, installed X-ray machines
along the Mexican border, and sent AWACS surveillance planes over the Caribbean.
Yet drugs continue to pour into this country. Cocaine today sells at record-low
prices and heroin is available at record-high purity levels. And despite the 1.5
million drug arrests made every year and the 400,000 drug offenders now in
prison, the level of addiction in the United States remains stubbornly high. So
to the extent that the war on terrorism emulates the war on drugs, we're in big
Is there another way? Over the past 10 years, I've studied the drug war on
various fronts: from the coca fields of the Andes to the smuggling zones along
the Mexican border to the drug-ridden neighborhoods of New York and Washington,
D.C. And that experience leads me to believe that the war on drugs offers
valuable lessons on how--and how not--to fight the war on terrorism.
Consider, for instance, the idea that in fighting terrorism we should focus on
its "root causes." Such an approach was succinctly described by Philip Wilcox,
Jr., the U.S. ambassador at large for counterterrorism from 1994 to 1997, in the
October 18 New York Review of Books. To respond to the attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon with military force, Wilcox asserted, would simply
generate more terrorism. Instead, he wrote, the United States should adopt a
foreign policy that "deals not just with the symptoms but with the roots of
terrorism, broadly defined." America, Wilcox continued, should seek to moderate
the "conditions that breed violence and terrorism" through efforts to "resolve
conflicts"--especially the one between Israelis and Palestinians--and through
"assistance for economic development, education, and population control."
A similar case has frequently been made with respect to both the production
and consumption of drugs. The world's poor, who cultivate drugs for export, need
better economic opportunities. And to reduce the level of drug abuse in America,
we need to address the socioeconomic conditions that generate it. Studies suggest
that drug abuse is especially prevalent in disadvantaged communities and that
programs to create jobs, provide housing, and raise the minimum wage could help
shrink the pool of potential addicts. Clearly, though, such programs would take
many years to bear fruit. In the meantime, drug abuse--and all its attendant
harms--would flourish.
So, too, with terror. America does need to address the poverty and desperation
that fuel the fires of Islamic fundamentalism, just as it must overcome the
foreign-policy legacy that makes the United States a target. Yet solutions to
these problems may take decades to unfold--and in the interim, the Osama bin
Ladens of the world would be free to wreak their havoc. In the short run, a more
direct antidote is needed.
Stubborn Roots
For some, that antidote is "going to the source" of the problem. Here, too,
there are clear echoes of the drug war. In the case of terrorism, the most
immediate source, of course, is bin Laden and al-Qaeda. But as President Bush has
said, the war on terror "will not end until every terrorist group of global reach
has been found, stopped, and defeated." And there has been general agreement that
a revived Central Intelligence Agency should be a principal policy instrument.
The agency's ability to gather intelligence and to carry out covert operations,
it's said, makes it an ideal institution to combat terrorism. Writing in The Wall
Street Journal, Herbert E. Meyer, a senior CIA official during the Reagan years,
decried the agency's recent passivity and urged it to become more aggressive, as
it was under William Casey, his former boss. "We smuggled weapons to freedom
fighters throughout the world, we smuggled bibles into the Soviet Union itself,
and we mined harbors in Nicaragua," Meyer wrote. Such tactics, he asserted,
helped to bring about the collapse of communism and could vanquish terrorism,
David Ignatius, in a Washington Post column, praised the CIA's
Counter-Terrorism Center in Langley, Virginia, for its covert capability "ranging
from paramilitary operations to the sort of dirty tricks and political subversion
that can overthrow governments supporting terrorism." Even Seymour Hersh, who has
written so extensively about U.S. misadventures abroad, blamed the U.S.
government's failure to detect September 11 largely on a weakened CIA. Ruing a
1995 directive that discouraged the use of recruits with unsavory records, Hersh
wrote in The New Yorker that "hundreds of 'assets' were indiscriminately stricken
from the CIA's payroll, with a devastating effect on anti-terrorist operations in
the Middle East." In recent years, an unnamed senior general told him, "we've
been hiring kids out of college who are computer geeks. This is about going back
to deep, hard dirty work, with tough people going down dark alleys with good
instincts."
According to the Post, the administration has already added more than $1
billion to the CIA's antiterrorism budget--much of it for new covert actions,
including the killing of specified individuals. "The gloves are off," one senior
official told Bob Woodward. "The president has given the agency the green light
to do whatever is necessary. Lethal operations that were unthinkable
pre-September 11 are now underway."
For those of us who have covered the drug war, this also sounds depressingly
familiar. For nearly three decades, the United States has attempted to fight
drugs by attacking them at their "source": the countries that cultivate, produce,
and smuggle them. Leading this effort has been the Drug Enforcement
Administration. In the mid-1980s, the DEA's main target was Pablo Escobar and the
Medellin cartel; together, they were said to control as much as 80 percent of the
cocaine entering the United States. In 1993, after years of wiretaps, spying, and
raids, the Colombians, helped by U.S. operatives, finally managed to corner and
kill Escobar. And the Medellin cartel disintegrated along with him.
Their demise did produce some short-term benefits. In the world of Colombian
drug traffickers, Escobar stood out for his brutality, and his death led to a
temporary fall-off in the number of car bombs and political assassinations. Yet
the vacuum left by the Medellin cartel was quickly filled by the rival Cali
cartel. So the DEA went after it. In a few years, it, too, was destroyed--and
quickly replaced by a host of smaller but no less efficient syndicates. What's
more, the campaign against the Colombian cartels created an opening for Mexico's
drug traffickers, who, newly enriched, formed violent syndicates along America'ssouthern border. Meanwhile, cocaine kept cascading into the United States.
The Terrorist Hydra
A similar result seems likely in the war on terrorism. The campaign against
al-Qaeda and the Taliban may be necessary as an act of self-defense. But
thousands of young fanatics throughout the Arab world are eager to become
martyrs, and every terrorist who's hunted down and killed is likely to be
replaced by others. Indeed, the covert actions undertaken against terrorist cells
abroad could themselves generate new recruits for the cause.
Furthermore, there's a limit to what the CIA can realistically achieve. It's
not easy for Americans to work undercover in the Middle East. And it's nearly
impossible for them to penetrate terrorist cells. In The Atlantic Monthly last
summer, Reuel Marc Gerecht, who for nearly nine years worked for the CIA on
Middle Eastern matters, described what it was like to walk through the Afghan
neighborhoods of Peshawar, Pakistan, where bin Laden does much of his recruiting.
Even in the darkness I had a case officer's worst sensation--eyes following me
everywhere. To escape the crowds I would pop into carpet, copper, and jewelry
shops... . No matter where I went, the feeling never left me. I couldn't see how
the CIA as it is today had any chance of running a successful counterterrorist
operation against bin Laden in Peshawar, the Dodge City of Central Asia.
More generally, Gerecht went on,
Westerners cannot visit the cinder-block, mud-brick side of the Muslim
world--whence bin Laden's foot soldiers mostly come--without announcing who they
are. No case officer stationed in Pakistan can penetrate either the Afghan
communities in Peshawar or the Northwest Frontier's numerous religious schools,
which feed manpower and ideas to bin Laden and the Taliban, and seriously expect
to gather information about radical Islamic terrorism--let alone recruit foreign
agents.
Add in the CIA's much-publicized dearth of agents who know the Middle East
and speak its languages and it's clear that the agency is many years away from
making any real inroads into the terrorist underworld.
What's more, unleashing the CIA could have many dire side effects. Just look
at its past: From the Congo, where the agency helped to assassinate Prime
Minister Patrice Lumumba, to Chile, where it helped to overthrow President
Salvador Allende, to Central America, where it worked with death squads,
America's covert operations often were ugly and often produced backlash. Our
current troubles in Afghanistan are partly an unintended consequence of the CIA's
secret program to arm the mujahideen there. Even with a worthy goal like quashing
terrorism, freeing the CIA to play dirty again seems likely to backfire.
If addressing the root causes of terrorism seems too vague and drawn-out a
solution, and if going to the source seems too difficult and dangerous, what is
to be done? Is there no alternative that offers more promise?
In fact, there is one--and the war on drugs can help point the way. My
research on drugs suggests that of all the ways to reduce drug abuse in America,
one stands out: cutting the demand for drugs through treatment. Where terrorism
is concerned, however, there is no equivalent of demand or of treatment to reduce
it. Any solution must take place on the supply side.
Here, too, there is a drug analogy. From watching police actions on a
drug-infested block in East Harlem and from interviewing police officers,
drug-enforcement agents, and drug traffickers, I concluded that domestic law
enforcement represents the best way to combat the drug trade. Far more than
stalking traffickers in Colombia or seizing drugs at the border, collaring
dealers on the street and dismantling local drug gangs seemed to reduce the crime
associated with drugs and to restore a sense of neighborhood safety. Mayor Rudy
Giuliani's campaign to squash drug dealing in New York City has in many ways been
shortsighted, for it has not been accompanied by a parallel campaign to reduce
the demand for drugs; but I have grudgingly come to believe that it has
eliminated some of the more egregious aspects of the city's drug trade. All in
all, the closer enforcement gets to the point where drugs do the most harm--the
street--the more impact it seems to have.
A 1994 study by the Rand Corporation supports this. Rand researchers compared
the cost-effectiveness of four different types of drug-control programs:
suppression at the source, interdiction along the border, domestic law
enforcement, and treatment of addiction. How much, they asked, would the United
States have to spend on each approach to reduce national cocaine consumption by 1
percent? Applying a mathematical model to the available data, the researchers
calculated that by relying solely on disrupting production at the source, the
United States would have to spend an additional $783 million a year; relying just
on interdiction, $366 million; on domestic law enforcement, $246 million; and on
treatment, just $34 million. The precision may be exaggerated, but the basic
insight is surely right: Treatment is the most cost-effective solution. Of the
three strategies for reducing supply, however, domestic law enforcement seems the
most efficient.
Might not the same be true with terrorism? There is no treatment analogy, of
course. But if our main goal is to prevent future terrorist attacks, wouldn't it
be more effective to concentrate our enforcement efforts here, in the United
States, instead of operating on the hostile terrain of the Middle East? In all
the talk about unleashing the CIA, it's often overlooked that the perpetrators of
September 11 had been living in this country for years. In detecting and rooting
out terrorists, shouldn't we tend primarily to our own backyard?
The Home Team
Emphasizing prevention at home would offer a number of advantages. First, it's
much easier to carry out undercover work here than abroad. Agents face fewer
hazards in San Diego, Trenton, and Boca Raton than they do in Beirut, Cairo, or
Peshawar. And we have many more resources here. In addition to the FBI and other
federal agencies, thousands of local police officers are working on terrorism in
cities across the country. In the drug war, the local police have led the way in
dismantling drug gangs, and they could make a similar contribution toward
uprooting terrorist networks. Furthermore, when it comes to obtaining
"HUMINT"--the critical "human intelligence" collected by investigative
agencies--the millions of loyal American Muslims living in this country would
seem a far more fruitful source than Islamic fundamentalists in the Middle East.
Finally, concentrating on domestic law enforcement would avoid the types of
covert actions that have proved so costly and embarrassing in the past.
This is not to say that foreign intelligence gathering has no role. Jim
Dempsey, an analyst at the Center for Democracy and Technology in Washington,
D.C., who previously monitored the FBI for the House Judiciary Committee,
observes that the FBI receives hundreds of tips every day about possible
terrorists and that it's impossible to sift through them all. In the case of the
September 11 hijackers, he notes, "nothing they did in the United States brought
them to the attention of U.S. agencies." To make sense of all the information
flowing into the FBI, Dempsey says, the bureau needs leads from abroad: "Through
either electronic or human sources or through liaison relations with foreign
services, you develop overseas the information that says that so-and-so is coming
to the United States."
Needless to say, a domestic antiterrorism strategy would raise some concerns.
"Unleashing" the FBI, for instance, could lead the bureau to engage in the same
type of domestic spying that so marred the tenure of J. Edgar Hoover. Although
the federal government does need expanded powers in this new era, the potential
for abuse of civil liberties is clear. Any domestic crackdown, then, would have
to be accompanied by vigilant oversight.
Another problem is the culture of the FBI. The recent string of scandals at
the bureau--from the Waco cover-up to the Wen Ho Lee investigation--does not
inspire confidence. And the bureau's reluctance to share information with other
federal agencies and with local authorities has hindered many investigations. In
the first case of anthrax to hit New York City, at NBC, the FBI did not
immediately inform the city about the letter that was thought to be
suspicious--an oversight that infuriated Mayor Giuliani. At a congressional
hearing in late October, Giuliani called for legislation that would increase the
sharing of information between federal and local law-enforcement agencies.
Such bureaucratic fragmentation has generated fresh ideas about new
institutional arrangements for fighting terrorism. Despite their qualms about the
new police powers legislated in the name of antiterrorism, even some civil
libertarians support consolidating federal intelligence efforts in a single
agency. Morton Halperin, a longtime leader of the American Civil Liberties Union,
told an October 16 forum sponsored by The American Prospect that he favored
creation of one agency that would be both more effective and more accountable.
Jack Riley, a counterterrorism specialist at the Rand Corporation, adds that
"when you start looking at where the gaps are in U.S. efforts to fight terrorism,
they are probably easier to fill here than overseas." The CIA could still supply
the FBI with foreign intelligence. As long as the two agencies continue to
function separately, however, it's hard for them to piece together a
comprehensive picture of how terrorists operate both here and abroad and
coordinate forces to confront them.
What is needed, Riley says, is a seamless new organization that brings
together counterterrorism specialists from these two institutions as well as from
other federal organizations. Investigators, intelligence analysts, financial
wizards, customs specialists, communications whizzes, immigration experts,
liaisons to foreign and local police departments--they all need to be joined
together in a new agency with one overarching goal: preventing future terrorist
attacks in the United States. In the end, Riley adds, we need "a terrorism
equivalent of the DEA."
My initial reaction on hearing this was to shudder. For in fighting the drug
war, the DEA has been singularly ineffectual. Despite the huge increases in its
budget and staff over the past 20 years, it has failed in its mission to reduce
the supply of outlawed drugs in this country. That's because the drug problem in
America is at heart a public-health problem--one that no amount of arrest and
prosecution can contain.
But terrorism is different. It's a highly lethal threat directed by
calculating criminals at America's very core, and it must be confronted with
every available weapon. The new Office of Homeland Security, whose duties seem to
encompass everything from stocking smallpox vaccines to bolstering airport
security, is too diffuse and weak to carry out the task at hand. For that,
America needs an entirely new and independent body--a Terrorism Prevention
Agency. And given the hopelessness of the war on drugs, frustrated agents from
the DEA could be assigned to it. At a new TPA, they might actually be able to do
some good.
How Not to Cover America
As local newspapers shrink and many of the national media close local bureaus, we depend increasingly on coverage by reporters who parachute into communities. But even the best are likely to be a step behind events.

Anesthesia Group Settles Kickback Allegations to Obtain Exclusive Agreements With Ambulatory Surgery Centers
On August 5, 2016, the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia announced a civil settlement in which Sweet Dreams Anesthesia, a partnership of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), paid over $1,015,000 to resolve allegations that Sweet Dreams paid kickbacks to ambulatory surgery centers to induce Medicare and Medicaid patients by providing free anesthesia drugs and through other financial transactions.
This case is a reminder to physicians and physician-owned ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) that financial and other types of incentives offered by other providers to obtain and secure business from physicians may be considered a kickback by the government in violation of the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute and other fraud statutory authorities.
Specifically, Sweet Dreams Anesthesia paid $1,034,416 to settlement allegations that it violated the federal False Claims Act and $12,078.79 that it violated the Georgia False Medicaid Claims Act by paying illegal kickbacks to several ASCs in Georgia. A CRNA, who was a former managing junior partner, filed a qui tam action under the False Claims Act alleging that Sweet Dreams Anesthesia had submitted false claims arising out of services performed at podiatry surgery centers, unbundled post-operative nerve blocks, and provided kickbacks to several "client" ASCs.
The whistleblower suit filed by this former CRNA noted that Sweet Dreams would market its services as a way to "increase profits" for the hospital or ambulatory surgery center that hires them, and that Sweet Dreams Anesthesia was "Medicare/Medicaid compliant." However, the whistleblower contended that Sweet Dreams Anesthesia knew it was improper to place a patient under general anesthesia while not under the direction and responsibility of a duly licensed physician. Accordingly, Sweet Dreams knew that it was improper to place a patient under general anesthesia while only under the supervision of a podiatrist.
Another allegation in the whistleblower's suit was that Sweet Dreams convinced podiatry ASCs that they would benefit financially through facility fees if they contracted with Sweet Dreams. The whistleblower's complaint alleged that Sweet Dreams utilized a billing form that limited the type of anesthesia to a more expensive billing option. Specifically, the billing form used by Sweet Dreams did not include monitored anesthesia as a type of anesthesia billing option, even though this was the anesthesia level being provided by Sweet Dreams.
The complaint filed by the whistleblower also alleged that Sweet Dreams instructed their CRNAs to separately charge for the blocking of multiple, individual nerves instead of billing for one comprehensive code that would encompass an entire nerve block. This "unbundling" of services allegedly allowed Sweet Dreams to separately bill and be paid for more than they were entitled under applicable payor coverage and payment rules.
An interesting aspect to this settlement is that the government intervened in the whistleblower's suit only as to certain allegations and based on "certain civil claims against Sweet Dreams" that the government alleges are violations of the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute.
First, the government contended that Sweet Dreams allegedly violated the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute by providing uninvoiced (i.e., free or at no cost) propofol to ASCs for use in surgery on Medicare patients. The Georgia Medicaid program made a similar allegation against Sweet Dreams. By providing the propofol, Sweet Dreams Anesthesia is effectively relieving ASCs of the cost of purchasing anesthesia drugs for surgical cases when the cost of purchasing anesthesia drugs are included in the facility fee paid by Medicare to ASCs.
In addition, the government contended that it has certain civil claims against Sweet Dreams based on allegations of violating the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute by agreeing to fund the construction of an ASC in Marietta, Georgia in exchange for Sweet Dreams selection as the exclusive provider at that facility and several ASCs owned by the same physician owners.
This settlement contains several important aspects for physicians when considering anesthesia and other ancillary provider agreements. One aspect is clear that anesthesia drugs must be an expense of an ASC if an ASC is going to be paid a facility fee by Medicare and other payors which contains reimbursement in part for anesthesia drugs used in a surgical case.
Another important aspect is that the government continues to take its long standing position that health care providers are subject to liability under federal and state fraud and abuse laws if they provide direct or indirect remuneration to another health care provider to secure an exclusive contract to provide professional health care services payable by the Medicare or Medicaid programs.
