Fred J. Eckert offers a
review of Peter Schweizer’s Secret Empires: How the American Political Class
Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends in the Washington Times.
The astonishing widespread
massive corruption of some of the biggest names in American politics that Peter
Schweizer reveals in his new blockbuster expose is shocking, startling,
stunning — and sickening.
“Secret Empires: How the
American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends” is
an insightful and extraordinarily consequential book that should ignite a
national uproar.
Don’t hold your breath. Our
national media can be expected to do all in its power to suppress the
possibility of any uproar — even when the corruption is this vast. It’s what
they’re best at — covering up their own malfeasance and protecting politicians
with whose ideology they’ve allied themselves.
One of the biggest scandals
in American history was swirling around us. Leading U.S. government figures
were embracing corruption. Foreign governments were colluding with American
sleazes to hurt our country. Family and friends of these key political figures
conspired as middlemen between foreign interests seeking influence and these
enormously influential U.S. government officials.
Yet not one of the country’s
best-known, most-acclaimed, highest-paid members of the major media noticed the
corruption occurring right in front of them or else didn’t consider it
important. America’s entire news business — the combined resources of major
television and radio networks, major newspapers, magazines and wire services —
didn’t see it or didn’t care.
Aided only by his small team
of researchers, this independent investigative journalist with a reputation for
fair and honest reporting has provided the American people with clear and
compelling proof of widespread corruption at the highest levels of our
government involving leading Democrats and leading Republicans alike.
