Obama Angers The Gays With DADT U-Turn

U.S. President Obama: what I said was...

U.S. President Barack Obama has angered homosexuals in America, by promising to repeal the U.S. Military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" which bars gays from openly serving in the forces.

Engaging in what has become habit with President Obama, he says one thing to be popular, then has another segment of his government do the dirty work for him. This time, it is again the Department of Justice (DOJ), who have stated they will not repeal "Don't Ask Don't Tell."

Previously, Obama released a memo proclaiming his government is one of transparency and on this accord, Freedom of Information Act documents must be released to the public.

Then in the next breath, the Department of Justice, headed by Obama's questionable, bumbling pick, Eric Holder, continues to vigorously fight the nation's citizens and organizations like a junkyard dog, who request documents under the Freedom of Information Act. Not to mention, haughtily strolling into court on other cases and obstinately refusing to answer questions, deeming the DOJ is above the law.

This dear friends, is an old trick crooked politicians use, to garner votes and public sympathy, by appearing to be a damsel in distress at the hands of their cabinet, while secretly sending their lackeys out to quietly do their dirty work, which reflects their true agenda.

White House Suggests Justice Department Brief Upholding 'Don’t Ask,Don’t Tell' Was 'Odd'

April 06, 2010 9:36 PM - White House press secretary Robert Gibbs Tuesday suggested a Justice Department brief upholding the “don’t ask,don’t tell” ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military was “odd,” given that it used 17-year-old language from Gen. Colin Powell (ret.) that the former Joint Chiefs Chairman says he no longer believes.

http://blogs.abcnews.com

On June 29, 2009, during his speech in front of an audience attending the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Pride Month Reception, held at the White House, President Obama said:

"As I said before--I'll say it again--I believe 'don't ask, don't tell' doesn't contribute to our national security. In fact, I believe preventing patriotic Americans from serving their country weakens our national security."

In the lawsuit, Justice Department attorneys admitted that the President made this statement. So, using President Obama's exact words, Log Cabin's lawyers then asked the government to admit that what the President said about DADT was true. Justice Department lawyers objected, and refused to answer -- Log Cabin filed and won a motion to compel the government to answer the questions, the government appealed, and the court rejected the appeal.

Consequently, on Monday, April 12, 2010, the government finally had to answer the questions and, when the Justice Department lawyers answered, they told the court that the President of the United States, Barack Obama, was wrong about DADT.

Specifically, when asked to admit that Don't Ask, Don't Tell "does not contribute to our national security", the government's response was "Deny." Meaning, DOJ disagrees with the President -- DOJ thinks the gay ban does contribute to our national security. So they're not only contradicting the President, they're not only saying that the President is wrong, they're actually putting out an anti-gay argument that hurts our efforts to repeal DADT because it defends the underlying basis for the law.

When asked to admit that Don't Ask, Don't Tell "weakens our national security", the government's response was again "Deny". And, when asked to admit that discharging service members pursuant to Don't Ask, Don't Tell "weakens our national security," the government's response was "Deny".

The government's responses attempt to explain why these denials differ from what the President had said but they candidly admit that the government's position in this case differs from the President's view of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Obama's DOJ Engaging In Warrantless Email Scanning

U.S. President Barack Obama: Uncle Sam wants...your emails

As stated in the April 17. 2010 article, Obama Plays Scientist, the FBI/DOJ and NSA, scan and copy the emails (and computers) of select American people, without warrant, evening using their contents to compile reports for then President George W. Bush and now President Barack Obama. Doctors, scientists, professors, politicians, journalists and bloggers are often selected for this massive invasion of privacy. The Judiciary Report made these claims years ago as well.

Eric Holder: your emails are our emails!

One hold out was Yahoo, who engaged in a legal battle with the DOJ, to protect their users' privacy. The EFF supported them in this regard, as it is an unsavory government practice that violates the Fourth Amendment.

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller: what warrant?

The DOJ has officially backed down from the Yahoo legal tussle, but continues to unconstitutionally read the emails of Americans that use other email and web hosting providers.

In closing, Presidents, by way of the FBI and NSA, should not be fishing ideas out of people's emails. It is an awful, unseemly practice no one with any ethics could condone or respect.

DOJ abandons warrantless attempt to read Yahoo e-mail

April 16, 2010 12:01 PM PDT - The U.S. Justice Department has abruptly abandoned what had become a high-profile court fight to read Yahoo users' e-mail messages without obtaining a search warrant first.

In a two-page brief filed Friday, the Obama administration withdrew its request for warrantless access to the complete contents of the Yahoo Mail accounts under investigation. CNET was the first to report on the Denver case in an article on Tuesday...

EFF Backs Yahoo! to Protect User from Warrantless Email Search

April 14th, 2010 - Denver - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) along with Google and numerous other public interest organizations and Internet industry associations joined with Yahoo! in asking a federal court Tuesday to block a government attempt to access the contents of a Yahoo! email account without a search warrant based on probable cause.

Your fourth amendment rights under attack by Obama, DOJ

April 16, 7:45 PM - I don't know what to think about the country anymore. I see things happening that, just a few years ago, would have been called "proof that Bush is Satan." Those same things, under this administration, receive little or no press. While we're all paying attention to Tiger Woods and his marital problems, or busy arguing about whether the Tea Party movement is full of "racists, homophobes and morons," the government is quietly working to take away our personal, constitutionally protected, GOD GIVEN freedoms...

The Dept. of Justice apparently believes that U.S. citizens do not enjoy a "reasonable expectation of privacy" with respect to cell phone use, and have been attempting to acquire the ability to simply demand user information from the cell phone companies without going through standard procedures to obtain a warrant for specific information on specific individuals for use in specific prosecutions. They are assaulting the fourth amendment in yet another case, asserting that "email over 181 days old should not be protected from warrantless search and seizure."...

Eric Holder Faces Wrath Of Congress

Eric Holder

U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, was slammed in Congress today, for indecisive and duplicitous answers, on whether the Obama administration intends to hold terrorist trials in populous Manhattan in New York and if they shall be in the civilian format, as opposed to military.

It seems odd that one can show up for a civil lawsuit, such as a contract or financial dispute and be seated in the same communal court areas as terrorist mass murderers. Something about that is somewhat off. Holder is in over his head at the Justice Department and it's showing.

Eric Holder Hypocritically Attends Sexual Assault Awareness Month Event

Eric Holder

U. S. President Barack Obama's controversial and frequently slammed U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, hypocritically attended a gathering for Sexual Assault Awareness Month and touted the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women.

I find his appearance at the event hypocritical and disgusting in light of the willful criminal negligence he has displayed in the Aisha v. FBI case, since talking office a year ago, which allowed a terrible situation, where a victim of crime, me, was made to endure even more trauma, when a vile male member of Madonna's Kabbalah cult stalked and approached me on a public street in Downtown Miami, then started making disturbing, invasive statements about me and reached out and tried to sexually assault me.

If I had not quickly moved out of the way when I realized what he was trying to do, that pervert would have succeeded at sexually assaulting me. I was appalled someone would do such a thing under the circumstances, especially in public. Had the FBI and DOJ done their job, that terrible incident would not have happened.

However, that's the kind of confidence Madonna's Kabbalah has in the DOJ and FBI's corruption. In 2005, the FBI and its parent agency, the DOJ, were notified in writing that Madonna and her sick Kabbalah cult have been stalking and harassing me, among other things. I was interviewed twice by the Miami FBI.

They told me to come into their office (Miami FBI), after I sent the formal, written complaint and called to inquire about the status of it. On three separate occasions they said they would investigate the case. They even sent me a letter stating I'm a victim of crime.

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

However, when FBI Director Robert S. Mueller found out Madonna and co. have been harassing, terrorizing and threatening me, among other things, in bids at trying to get me to give up the rights to my preexisting, Library of Congress registered, Copyrighted Catalog worth billions (same thing Michael Jackson was killed for - copyrights) he ordered the Miami FBI to do nothing. According to protocol, they are supposed to issue a report on the investigation regarding the copyrights and human rights abuse case, yet they have not, seeking to cover up everything.

I was then told by a very credible source in the know on these matters that Mueller instructed the Miami FBI to drag its feet on my case and let the criminal misconduct and human rights abuses transpiring against me, endangering my life, continue as it has been benefiting Hollywood via ill-gotten financial gains and numerous undeserved awards, for the duplicated and derivative works that have been stolen from my preexisting Copyrighted Catalog that contains over 12,500 songs, 1000 movie scripts, movie treatments and short stories, 15 book manuscripts, 300 music video treatments, 500 photographs, among other things.

The same credible source informed me that the FBI, on Mueller's orders, illegally opened an investigation into me, with warrantless wiretaps, illegal scanning of my emails, computers and bank accounts, hoping to find some dirt on me worthy of arrest, to deflect the criminal activity Hollywood has been engaging in at my expense, via stealing billions in copyrights from my Catalog and committing unspeakably wicked human rights abuses against me, with the hope it would destroy me.

However, when the investigation into me yielded no negative results, Mueller ordered a cover-up, as he'd violated the U.S. Constitution and U.S. Code via waging a malicious, illegal investigation into an innocent victim of crime, who has been greatly defrauded, having no probable cause to have done so. And that's the kind of dirty animal leading the FBI. One of my responses to this betrayal of my rights, has been exclusive after exclusive, exposing the FBI's misdeeds.

Mad-onna

The criminal misconduct transpiring against me has been witnessed by family and friends and digital data, forensic evidence and mobile phone photos bear witness to the fact, members of Madonna's Kabbalah keep invading my privacy, stalking and approaching me. Under the law, this conduct is patently illegal.

They have no excuse or justification under the law to be infringing my copyrights, invading my privacy and following me everywhere, every time I set foot outside the house. It's sick and depraved. They should not be in such close proximity to me and repeatedly.

They should not be approaching and confronting me anywhere, communicating threats on behalf of that madwoman Madonna, but have on many occasions. I have nothing to do with them and want nothing to do with them. Yet they persist in this madness.

Even this past weekend, I went to Tallahassee, Florida with my mom, which is 7 hours away from where I currently live in Miami and a member of Kabbalah got onto the same elevator as me and kept staring at me in this weird way. I didn't realize it until the elevator door had already closed, otherwise I would not have gotten on. If an old couple had not gotten on the elevator when I did, that Kabbalah member would have probably tried to assault me like other members of his cult have done on other occasions.

Kabbalah members have even stalked me into other countries, like my homeland Jamaica and Britain, where some of my forbearers come from.

This persistent misconduct is criminal and constitutes aggravated stalking. Only crazy people do things like that. Yet the FBI and DOJ, who are supposed to prevent crime and uphold the law of the land, have allowed the criminal harassment, stalking and assault to continue, to facilitate copyright infringement of a preexisting Copyrighted Catalog, by parties in Hollywood, such as Madonna.

The proof is there. The witnesses and photos testifying to the crimes are there. The time stamped, preexisting copyrights bear witness to the blatant duplications that have been transpiring in violation of the U.S. Copyright Act and the Berne Treaty.

The FBI/DOJ should be ashamed of themselves for facilitating such crimes, as it is disgraceful and an embarrassment millions are reading about on a regular basis in America and all over the world. But God is on my side. You aren't getting away with anything.

Remarks by Attorney General Eric Holder at Sexual Assault Awareness Month Program

WASHINGTON, April 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following are the remarks by Attorney General Eric Holder at the Sexual Assault Awareness Month Program:

Thank you, Tom [Perrelli]. I appreciate your kind words, and, more importantly, your outstanding leadership. Your talent for bringing people together has enabled this administration, and this Department, to deliver on last year's promise to address the causes and consequences of sexual assault with renewed focus, purpose, and urgency.

Of course, these achievements would not be possible without our Office on Violence Against Women, which leads the Justice Department's efforts to raise awareness about sexual assault and to combat these devastating crimes. Since opening its doors 15 years ago, OVW has awarded more than $3.5 billion in grants to some of our nation's most effective victim service providers and programs. This office has been instrumental in helping victims of sexual assault find assistance and empowering survivors to seek justice. It's also created a forum for providers and advocates from across the field to come together and to share cutting-edge research, best practices, and innovative strategies.

Catherine Pierce has been a part of this work from the start. Although she often says that she's witnessed the great progress OVW has made over the years, Catherine has actually helped lead this progress. I'm grateful to her, and I know that OVW's enthusiastic new director, Sue Carbon, looks forward to building on all that this office has achieved. As a former judge myself, I know that, after nearly two decades of service on the bench, Sue will bring a unique and insightful perspective to OVW's work. Her experience and expertise will allow the department to reach new communities, strengthen current partnerships and provide enhanced support for OVW grantees.

I'm glad that so many of our grantees are here with us today. We are honored to support the work you do to heal and empower survivors, to provide hope, to raise awareness, and to improve lives.

Let me also welcome our other special guests who have joined us to share their experiences facing and fighting sexual assault. Their courage inspires us all. And their stories illustrate - far better than I possibly could - the reasons why ending sexual assault must be a priority across this department, this administration and this nation.

We all know what we're up against. Our own research shows that nearly 19 million women and 3 million men have experienced at least one incident of sexual assault. Confronting this reality is difficult. It's often painful. But it's also important. Acknowledging and discussing the prevalence of sexual assault creates opportunities to act, to assist, to educate, and to collaborate.

We should all be encouraged by President Obama's historic commitment to shining a light on this problem and to seeking new pathways toward help, healing and justice. Many of you in this room made the commitment we celebrate, and the progress we've seen, possible. For years, you've given voice to this problem. You've stood up for victims in crisis and communities in need. And you've called for the resources - as well as the leadership - necessary to address and to end sexual assault.

The President's most recent budget is a testament to your efforts -- and to his focus on reversing current trends. For Fiscal Year 2011, an increase of nearly $30 million was requested for our Office on Violence Against Women. The budget doubles funding - from $15 million to $30 million - for our Sexual Assault Services Program, which provides crisis intervention, criminal justice advocacy and support during forensic exams. Funding for civil legal assistance for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault would be increased by $9 million. And, for the first time, the Office for Victims of Crime would set aside $100 million in funds specifically to address violence against women.

These investments are critical. And I will ensure that this department and our partners have the resources necessary to combat sexual assault and bring offenders to justice. This issue is deeply important to me. During a career spent as a prosecutor, a judge and a United States Attorney, I have seen the effects of sexual violence -- in the courtroom and far beyond. I understand how these crimes can devastate lives, families and communities. But I've never been more hopeful about our ability to make meaningful progress in ending sexual assault.

I know this progress won't come as easily or as quickly as we would like. But there's no question that this work is a priority for this administration and for this department. In fact, over the last two months, a dozen members of the department's leadership team have traveled to college campuses across the country to discuss the problem of sexual assault. Not only are they raising awareness about the problem, they're increasing our odds of eliminating it. I'm proud of this work, and I'm encouraged by the new investments we'll make this year. But I also recognize that the Justice Department can't tackle such a challenge on its own. The federal government can't either. Progress will depend on our ability to work together -- with those serving in the field and with our state, local, tribal and community partners.

I'm committed to this progress. I'm proud to count you all as partners in this work of prevention and healing. And I look forward to what we will accomplish together.

Thank you.

FBI and NSA Wiretapping Ruled Illegal

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker ruled the FBI and NSA's warantless wiretapping of Islamic charity, al-Haramain, was illegal. The ruling comes as a blow to the U.S. government.

However, one should follow the U.S. Constitution, as it is the law of the land and the Fourth Amendment was clearly violated in this case. If the government wanted to wiretap al-Haramain, they should have done so with a warrant and not trampled the U.S. Constitution. The international condemnation warantless wiretapping has caused, tarnished the government's name in the world.

Eric Holder

Disgraced Attorney General, Eric Holder, who has been slammed in Congress and the press, for a wide range of faux pas and failures, utilized the State Secrets defense, in an inexcusable bid to defend the indefensible, but the argument did not prevail in court.

Since when does the term "classified" (State Secrets) cover illegality. Inherently, if something is illegal, it cannot lawfully, ethically or legitimately be categorized "classified." Think about that.

Government held liable in warrantless wiretapping case

April 1, 2010 -- Updated 0102 GMT (0902 HKT) - San Francisco, California -- A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the government is liable for illegally wiretapping an Islamic charity without a valid search warrant.

The ruling in Northern California District Court reaffirmed an earlier decision that the warrantless wiretaps conducted on an Oregon-based Islamic non-profit organization were illegal.

In Wednesday's ruling, District Judge Vaughn R. Walker said the government is liable for damages from the illegal wiretapping.

Hollywood Law Firm Embroiled In Jamaican Extradition Controversy - Part 2

This is a continuation of the March 22. 2010 article Hollywood Law Firm Embroiled In Jamaican Extradition Controversy, regarding the dubious law firm Manatt, Phelps and Phillips and their questionable involvement in an extradition request between Jamaica and the United States, for alleged drug dealer Christopher Michael Coke.

Two days after the article ran on the site, it was announced the FBI is investigating Manatt, Phelphs and Phillips in the matter. The Judiciary Report raised the conflict of interest issue surrounding the case in the aforementioned article, as over a dozen high profile Manatt, Phelps and Phillips clients in Hollywood, have actively and irrationally tried to destroy Jamaica, via publicized boycotts and sponsored defamation, over the lyrics of a few dancehall rappers that represent themselves, not the Caribbean island.

It was vile and unbalanced for members of the so-called "gay mafia" and their associates in Hollywood to seek to destroy an entire nation over a dozen dancehall entertainers. It was equally inappropriate for Manatt, Phelps and Phillips to officially wade into the extradition case, knowing who is lingering under their preexisting client list. Their conduct constitutes code of ethics violations.

Under American Bar Association protocols and rules of professional conduct, the law firm should have disclosed the massive conflict of interest, before talking $50,000 - $100,000 in Jamaican taxpayer money, in their bid at being the country's legal representation.

Lawyers are supposed to do conflict of interest searches from the outset and Manatt, Phelps and Phillips clearly did not disclose their Hollywood based, anti-Jamaican client list, before they offered their services and accepted the money.

The Judiciary Report is of the belief, it was a deliberate act of egregious misrepresentation. A firm of that size does not make such mistakes and oversights and the Hollywood orchestrated "Boycott Jamaica" campaign that failed, was publicized and pushed by parties in Hollywood, known to the law firm as clients.

It was Manatt, Phelps and Phillips' legal duty as a law firm to disclose the conflict of interest. The sad fact of the matter is Manatt, Phelps and Phillips got involved in the case on both ends, which is grossly unprofessional and inappropriate according to the dictates of the American Bar Association.

It was a deceitful attempt to directly get involved in the national and international politics of a sovereign foreign nation, some of the firm's other prominent clients tried to financially damage, destroy and defame. It's also quite telling that the firm clammed up and refused to comment on the story this week, when asked by the press.

Once again, Hollywood trying to get into areas they have no business being - the official politics of a nation. I dare Manatt to disclose its Hollywood anti-Jamaican client list by name.

Eric Holder

What the Judiciary Report also dislikes in this case is the fact the extradition evidence does not meet the international legal standard. Extraditions are a useful legal tool, but must meet the respective international rule of law.

Once again, U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, has shown himself to be bumbling, incompetent and hypocritical and embarrassing the Obama administration, not only via his unprepared appearances in the U.S. Congress, but the international community as well.

Jamaica has extradited dozens of criminals to America upon request. Yet, Holder, defamed and slammed the Jamaican government as complicit in drug crime, after his legally deficient argument and illegal wiretap evidence he submitted in the Coke case, qualifies him and FBI Director Mueller for a 5 year stretch in a Jamaican prison, for violating the DOJ/FBI's Congressional mandate, as they criminally broke Jamaican law, to illegally wiretap a foreign citizen in his own nation, without permission.

Then, in the next breath, Holder and Mueller, in tandem with Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, this week declined the Indian government's valid, official extradition request for suspect David Headley, believed to be apart of the terrible terrorist attacks on their nation in November 2008 that left scores of people dead.

The Indian government is displeased with the decision. The Judiciary Report finds Holder's conduct regarding India hypocritical in light of what he has put the Jamaican government through, due to his folly in breaking Jamaican law with illegal wiretaps.

Furthermore, in the legal world, a terrorist is worst than a drug dealer, yet Holder would have the world thinking otherwise. How can you besmirch the Jamaican government's name, via placed pieces on the Associated Press, over an alleged drug dealer, in a case where you failed to meet the requirement of law, while shielding an alleged terrorist accused of killing many innocent people, from the Indian government, who met the requirement of law for an extradition to take place. Maybe Mr. Holder and Mr. Mueller are the ones that are complicit with crime.

FBI watching US law firm deal

Wednesday, 24 March 2010 - The Bruce Golding led administration is yet to comment on reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has taken an interest in the controversial contract involving the US law firm Manatt, Phelps and Phillips and Harold Brady.

RJR news has been reporting that the FBI is eyeing the case. However, it is not known what triggered the query. Mr. Brady who crafted the arrangement with Manatt, Phelps and Phillips has refused to disclose whether payments have been made to the law firm.

He cited client confidentiality for not disclosing any information about payments to the American firm. However, RJR News has obtained a copy of the latest filings with the Department of Justice which indicate that almost US$50,000 has been paid to Manatt by Mr. Brady's firm.

In the filings, representatives of Manatt, Phelps and Phillips met on three occasions in October and November with State Department officials to discuss treaty issues.

Eric Holder Running From Congress

Eric Holder

U.S. Attorney General and Obama appointee, Eric Holder, is running from Congress. He postponed his appearance in Congress, that was slated to occur today, deferring it to April 14, 2010. The last time he appeared in Congress, he came across as incompetent and unprepared and senators verbally ripped him to shreds

Holder is widely being slammed in the mainstream press and by the general public online for a number of follies and critics are interpreting this postponement as fear on the part of the Attorney General. Members of Congress slammed today's no show.

I do not like how this man operates at all. So many people in the press and on the blogs, are complaining of his lack of transparency and sheer treachery in matters of law.

I've seen it firsthand in the Aisha v. FBI case. Rather than do the right and honorable thing, Holder and Mueller have tried every crooked legal maneuver in the world, to continue hiding Freedom of Information Act documents, while millions watch their misconduct - and they did it at a time I am physically ill and my life and health are at stake, due to conduct the FBI contributed to.

You're appalling and have no conscience or scruples. When you do things like that, you make a mockery of the nation's laws for the world to see. Who could respect something like that.

Sessions Slams Delayed Holder Hearing

March 23, 2010 5:45 pm - The top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee criticized the decision to delay a scheduled oversight hearing with Attorney General Eric Holder Tuesday, taking the opportunity to flesh out his disagreements with the way the Justice Department has handled terrorism cases under his leadership.

“The last time Attorney General Holder testified before the Senate was November 18th of last year. Then in late January, following revelations that the Christmas Bomber had been hastily Mirandized—without consulting the relevant intelligence agencies—Republicans called for an immediate hearing with the Attorney General,” Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said in a statement. “Unfortunately, that hearing never was never held. We were told instead that we would have an opportunity to question Attorney General Holder at a planned oversight hearing in March.”

“Now that won’t happen either. But while this hearing has been delayed, the Attorney General cannot delay action to repair his broken policies,” Sessions added...

The postponement is possibly due to the signing of the health care bill, but Republicans think Holder might be glad for the extra time. No matter when it happens, it will not be a passive event.

The hearing is officially billed as "oversight of the Department of Justice" but general consensus is he'll face strong questioning over his decision (which seems more and more likely to be reversed) to try some of the alleged 9/11 masterminds in federal court.

ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDER AND HIS NON-TRANSPARENCY

March 21, 2010 - In 1999, Eric Holder helped arrange Bill Clinton pardons for 16 unrepentant members of FALN who had been convicted of “a variety of charges that included conspiracy, sedition, violation of the Hobbes Act (extortion by force, violence or fear), armed robbery and illegal possession of weapons and explosives -- including large quantities of C-4 plastic explosive, dynamite and huge caches of ammunition.”

More and more Americans are discovering that the Obama Administration's definition of transparency is more Clintonian and semantic than it is honest and encouraging.

The latest embarrassment for the Obama White House is the discovery that Attorney General Eric Holder has been less than forthcoming about his activities prior to being appointed U.S. Attorney General.

This week, the U.S. Department of Justice celebrated the one-year anniversary of Attorney General Eric Holder’s 2009 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) guidelines.

Issued exactly one year ago, Holder's guidelines were supposed to aid President Barack Obama’s “new era of open government” by establishing a “criteria governing the presumption of disclosure” and creating “effective systems for responding to requests.”

Unfortunately, after only the first year under these heralded guidelines, legal watchdog group Judicial Watch reported on March 17 that its officials have experienced little improvement in U.S. government transparency or accountability.

Report: Eric Holder's Job In Jeopardy

Eric Holder

According to several mainstream reports, the job of U.S. Attorney, Eric Holder is in jeopardy. After upsetting the people of New York with preparations to hold terrorism trials in the vicinity of the September 11th crash site, embarrassing clashes and faux pas in Congress, making statements that contradicted U.S. generals in the Middle East and noted incidents of him hiding his legal briefs from Congress and separately Freedom of Information files from numerous requesters, Holder has not only fallen afoul of the American people, but the U.S. Congress as well...all in less than one year.

Holder's future uncertain amid terror trial disputes

Mar 21 07:30 PM US/Eastern - US Attorney General Eric Holder took office pledging a sharp shift away from the last administration's policies, but an apparent change of heart in the White House could see the top lawyer leave his job.

Holder, 59, is the first African-American to hold the top legal post, and was generally regarded with bipartisan respect when he took office.

But a series of gaffes, fights with both Republicans and Democrats, and apparent disagreements between him and the White House have left Holder looking increasingly embattled.

He came under renewed fire when he told lawmakers Tuesday that Osama bin Laden would not be captured alive, and that US officials would read legal rights to the Al-Qaeda leader's corpse.

But the ridicule and attacks that followed are only the latest blows Holder has faced in the 14 months since he took office pledging to reverse the worst "war on terror" legal abuses sanctioned by former president George W. Bush's administration.

Ultra-conservative activists have questioned his ethics and even his patriotism over his decision to hire lawyers who defended terror suspects to Justice Department posts...

Hollywood Law Firm Embroiled In Jamaican Extradition Controversy

Eric Holder (left) President Obama (right)

There is controversy today, regarding the American law firm, Manatt, Phelps and Phillips, having lobbied the Obama administration, to gain the extradition of alleged local drug dealer, Christopher Michael Coke.

Mr. Harold Brady of Manatt, Phelps and Phillips, also allegedly approached the incumbent Jamaican Prime Minister, to be the legal representation of the island of Jamaica.

That would constitute a massive conflict of interest, due to who Manatt, Phelps and Phillips' other clients in Hollywood are and what they have been doing regarding Jamaica.

Manatt, Phelps and Phillips represent the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers, Warner Bros and Sony studios and record labels, American Idol and Madonna to name a few (Robert Jacobs of Manatt, Phelps and Phillips in New York). http://www.manatt.com/Entertainment.aspx. There are more suitable U.S. firms in operation.

The Coke extradition has hit an extraordinary snag, as it has been revealed, the evidence the U.S. Department of Justice submitted in attempting to gain Coke's removal from the island, consists of items that violated Jamaican wiretap laws and in turn, Mr. Coke's rights under Jamaican statutes and the Jamaican Constitution, which was born from the British Constitution (Queen Elizabeth is still Jamaica's monarch, as it is a former British colony).

One of the oddities of this case is the fact the law firm Manatt, Phelps and Phillips represents many Hollywood clients that are apart of the "boycott Jamaica" campaign tinsel town initiated a year ago, through a member of the U.S. Congress and separately racist, n-word using gay blogger, Perez Hilton, due to certain dancehall artists' anti-gay lyrics.

Manatt, Phelps and Phillips represent Hollywood stars that have irrationally slammed the entire nation of Jamaica, for the deeds of a few anti-gay rappers. Manatt, Phelps and Phillips have also represented members of Hollywood's "gay mafia" as they are called.

Manatt, Phelps and Phillips does not mean Jamaica well in any measure, nor does some of its clients in Hollywood that tried to destroy the island nation last year with an international boycott they called for that failed.

Eric Holder (courtesy of the New York Times)

Where most sane people call for boycotts of products or companies, nasty Hollywood called for a boycott of an entire nation of men, women, children and babies, because they disliked the free speech lyrics of a few people that do not even constitute 1% of the island nation's population. That is the definition of ignorance.

Manatt, Phelps and Phillips knew of Coke from stories about "The Shower Posse" drug ring and sought to cause trouble in Jamaica with the extradition they lobbied for.

It is the rule, not the exception, that the U.S. Department of Justice must meet the rule of law that exists in other nations and vice versa, when requesting extraditions. Going to the Jamaican government with illegally wiretapped evidence is unlawful and inadmissible in court. That's the rule of law in many nations.

If I were in government in Jamaica and suspected a U.S. citizen located in New York, for example, of committing crimes in America that touched Jamaican shores, violating laws on the island as well, I could not legally engage the Jamaica Constabulary (Police) Force to bypass the U.S. government and wiretap said suspect in New York, from all the way in Jamaica without warrant or permission from the host nation, then march into the U.S. State Department demanding they extradite the person with the illegally obtained wiretap evidence.

Another example, if I were in government in America and suspected a British citizen of engaging in crimes in London that touched American shores, I could not legally engage the FBI to bypass the British government and wiretap said suspect in London, from all the way in America, without warrant or permission, then march into the British Foreign Secretary's office, demanding they extradite the person, using the illegally obtained wiretap evidence.

Therefore, why is Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder and the U.S. Attorney's office in New York, submitting evidence for an extradition that was obtained via illegal wiretaps that violate Jamaican law. Why are you putting the Jamaican government in that position, Mr. Holder.

Americans don't even like it when you violate the Constitution and illegally wiretap U.S. citizens. Why would you think Jamaicans in Jamaica would welcome that invasiveness and massive overreach of your authority. Your congressional mandate is confined to U.S. Shores. Why have you done this.

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller is consistently in trouble in the U.S. Congress for illegally wiretapping people in America

Now, you are asking the Jamaican government to extradite a man on illegally obtained evidence, who community activists are openly stating in the press, will not go without a gunfight, where innocent Jamaicans could get killed in the crossfire.

What that says to the world is, as long as you and your kids are safe, Mr. Holder, you clearly could care less about any Jamaican grandparents, parents and kids in Tivoli Gardens (Jamaica) that could die.

Once again, the Judiciary Report is for law and order, but does not respect the way this was done. Typically in drug cases, they nab one guy and get him to sing on the others. That evidence is then used in tandem with additional items, to gain a proper, lawful extradition. That is the accepted international legal standard. Jamaica has extradited dozens of people to America in this manner.

However, Obama's Department of Justice, headed up by Eric Holder, is testing the waters in Jamaica, to set an international legal precedent for illegally wiretapping foreigners in their own nations, in violation of foreign law and using it in U.S. courts to gain convictions. Today, it is Jamaica, tomorrow it could be Britain, Spain, France, Canada or any of the other islands in the Caribbean.

Furthermore, it is a felony to wiretap someone on Jamaican shores without a proper warrant from the Attorney General and Jamaican Police. It is a criminal offense punishable by up to 5 years in prison.

Manatt, Phelps and Phillips is the law firm that willfully and knowingly submitted falsified evidence and committed perjury in court, in acting on behalf of Madonna and co, to steal preexisting copyrights registered to me in the Library of Congress, years before she stole them.

Copyrights whose proceeds were meant to go towards producing cures to AIDS and cancer, but instead went to lining the pockets of stars criminally breaking U.S. and U.N. law.

That decision almost cost me my life, as described here, because after the corrupt ruling went through in 2005, sicko Madonna cast off all restraint and sent members of the Miami Kabbalah center to threaten, harass and assault me in documented incidents, believing there would be no consequences for her crimes.

With the horrible ill-will and unprovoked hatred Manatt, Phelps and Phillips' famous clients have shown Jamaicans, in trying to destroy the entire island nation over the anti-gay music of a few, not to mention abusing an innocent Jamaican family, what business do they have petitioning the Jamaican government to be their legal representation, collecting Jamaican taxpayer dollars, unless it is a Hollywood trojan horse, seeking to surreptitiously damage Jamaica from the inside.

Why have you misrepresented yourselves and gone out to Jamaica, reportedly taken Jamaican taxpayer money, knowing full well your famous clients have been actively acting against the island nation, in bids at destroying it.

Was money paid to lobby the US for 'Dudus'?

Published: Sunday | March 21, 2010 - Red-hot controversy continues to swirl around the Government over the deal involving top-flight American law firm Manatt, Phelps and Phillips.

The troubling arrangement, which attracted a hefty US$100,000- (approximately J$8.9 million) per-quarter fee, kicked off last October.

The firm then filed documents on the United States Department of Justice website claiming that it represented the Government of Jamaica.

"We will be speaking with members of the (US) executive branch to provide information on issues regarding existing political and economic matters, including existing treaty agreements between Jamaica and the US," the firm stated in its documentation.

And even as the controversy deepens, more questions are being asked about who paid the bill charged by the American firm.

"The questions still remain to be answered as to what money was paid, by whom was it paid, what services were rendered, and whether the resources of the taxpayers were used to engage this firm, and I add, if not the taxpayers' whose resources?" declared Opposition Leader Portia Simpson Miller.

"This new development, which has been linked to the already complicated, sensitive, controversial and contentious extradition impasse between Jamaica and the United States of America will only serve to further jeopardise Jamaica's standing and reputation and diminish its credibility within the community of nations," Simpson Miller added.

So far, the Bruce Golding administration has rejected all allegations of wrongdoing, as well as the insinuation that the firm was contracted to deal with the impasse surrounding the extradition request for Christopher 'Dudus' Coke.

Instead, the administration is pointing the finger at attorney-at-law Harold Brady, who continues to argue that reports that he contracted the company to work for the Government are all a mistake, which has been corrected by the firm.

But there is no correction on the Department of Justice website, and up to Friday, officials at that office were still reporting that the firm was dealing with political and economic matters, including treaty arrangements, for Jamaica.

‘I didn’t know it was Dudus’ phone'

...In the dispute, Jamaica accuses the US of breaching the Interception of Communications Act 2002 (ICA) which governs wire-tapping in Jamaica.

Jamaica insists that there is a general Constitutional right of freedom of expression in Jamaica, including the right of freedom from interference to receive and impart ideas, as well as freedom from interference with one's correspondence and other means of communication.

Moreover, Jamaica argues, because the ICA is an intrusion on a citizen's Constitutional right to freedom of expression, its provisions have to be scrupulously observed and followed.

No order was ever made authorising the disclosure of information to a foreign government, agents of a foreign government or an agency of a foreign government, says Jamaica.

The Act provides that any person who intercepts communication in unauthorised circumstances commits a criminal offence and is liable to imprisonment for a period of three years or a fine not exceeding $3 million or both; and that any person who knowingly discloses the contents of any communication commits a criminal offence and is liable to imprisonment for a period of five years or a fine of $5 million or both.

U.S. Government Should Desist Issuing World Reports

It's Not Helping International Relations

U.S. President Obama

The United States government should desist issuing yearly world reports condemning, chastising and criticizing other nations, for perceived faults, when there is trouble at home (i.e. U.S. State Department Human Rights report).

Thus far, France, China, Haiti and Jamaica, to name a few, have taken exception to U.S. Senate and C.I.A. world reports, issued and published about many nations of the world, as the assessments have been blatantly offensive, one-sided and in some cases, degrading.

At a time when the world blames the U.S. government for the global financial crisis that began on Wall Street and for the wars in the Middle East, namely the Iraqi conflict, it is not helpful or conducive to goodwill that Washington continues to issue these scathing reports on every nation in the world.

Each nation is responsible for itself, within its own sovereignty and does not like formally being painted in a very unflattering light by another nation. No nation is perfect, as each one has problems. No nation should issue such yearly reports, as it does not help global harmony. It is also endangering innocent Americans when they travel abroad.

If the U.S. Government wishes to continue compiling said reports, it should remain in-house for personal government use, not public consumption, as it is causing worldwide offense.

For example, last week China took offense at the U.S. government's report publicly criticizing and condemning human rights violations in their country and labeled Washington hypocritical, as human rights abuses exist in America as well.

This week, the President of Haiti, Rene Preval, was clearly disappointed and stunned by the U.S. State Department's Human Rights report, which stated, "Corruption is widespread in all … levels of government in Haiti." Preval labeled the report "arrogant" and "arbitrary" stating it, "Threatened to sour Haiti's ties with its main relief partner as the Caribbean state's government and foreign donors drafted a plan for the country's recovery and long-term reconstruction."

Considering Haiti was just devastated by an earthquake, the scathing U.S. State Department report was released at a very tough time for them and was taken to heart. They really did not need it right now.

Regarding Jamaica, Obama and his Department of Justice, headed his appointed Attorney General, Eric Holder, slammed the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Bruce Golding, regarding the extradition request of an alleged Jamaican drug dealer, Christopher Michael Coke.

The extradition request has been pending for a few months and Obama's Administration slammed the Jamaican government in a well publicized world report, using its news agency, the Associated Press, flat out stating Coke has ties to the Jamaican Prime Minister, who comes from his constituency and that's why the extradition was not processed immediately.

The incumbent administration in Jamaica stated, they have processed many U.S. extradition requests, but the U.S. government violated Jamaican wiretap laws in obtaining evidence they submitted with the extradition demand. In short, the U.S. Department of Justice, who has no legal mandate to be acting in any capacity as law enforcement in Jamaica, bypassed the Jamaican government and wiretapped a citizen located in Jamaica, in violation of domestic laws.

Technically, in the average foreign court of law, in many nations of the world, if you did not go through the proper local legal channels of government, in the country the subject you wish to be extradited is located, via obtaining a proper request/warrant in that nation to engage wiretaps against one of their citizens, said wiretap evidence is not admissible in the foreign court of law that you are asking to extradite the person, as it would be deemed, one violated the laws of the local country to obtain it.

But back to the report regarding the Jamaican Prime Minister. What if a foreign government compiled and published a formal report, stating President Obama has ties to criminals in his former constituency of Chicago, Illinois, with one of them that is now incarcerated on unrelated felony charges, having previously helped Obama to purchase a mansion in a rich district, via a real estate deal many have labeled mortgage fraud (this has been written about in the U.S. press and blogosphere). Obama would hit the roof if someone put that in a formal international report.

What if a foreign government authored a formal world report stating President Obama's birth certificate lacks the official seal for the American state it is said to be issued from, thus he is in violation of the Constitution and has not met the eligibility requirements to be President of the United States. Once again, Obama would hit the roof.

Back to my point, publicizing these annual world reports are not doing anything to promote world peace. It is making foreign heads of state and their corresponding governments angry, offended and in some cases, uncooperative.

In closing, to be clear, the Judiciary Report is for law and order, justice within the scope of the law, legal penalties for criminals, human rights, civil liberties and world peace.

Eric Holder Excoriated In Congress

Video: Holder: Osama Bin Laden Will Never Face US Trial

U.S. President Barack Obama chose friend, Eric Holder, to be the nation's Attorney General. Holder has gotten himself into more trouble during his first year than any Attorney General in recent memory.

He testified in Congress this week that mass-murdering terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, is legally comparable to cultist killer, Charles Manson. His response drew the anger of the Congressional committee, who firmly believes terrorists should not be tried in civilian court.

Manson and Bin Laden are not in the same league of bloodshed, with the latter's body count being in thousands, while the former's remains in single digits.

Holder also put his foot in his mouth by declaring Bin Laden will be tried in court as a dead person, prompting the U.S. military to release a statement that they seek to bring him in alive.

Eric Holder Slammed For Hiding Documents From The U.S. Congress

U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder and President Barack Obama

U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, has been slammed for hiding documents from Congress, relevant to his appointment to the post, by President Obama.

Holder authored reports and papers that needed to be submitted to Congress, during the time period they were vetting him for the job, but he hid them, which is a violation of the rules.

Mr. Holder seems to be fond of hiding documents, which tells the world he is not fit for the post. Following this line of corruption is going to get him in massive international trouble one day.

The department alerted the Senate Judiciary Committee about the lapse, listing seven cases in which Holder signed or filed legal briefs that were not previously disclosed.

U.S. Poll: America's Image Has Declined In The World Since Obama

President Barack Obama

A poll conducted in America offered the opinion, the United States image and standing have declined in the world, since U.S. President Barack Obama has taken office. The poll squarely blamed Democrats for the decline.

Former Republican and U.S. President, George W. Bush did the most damage in this regard, with a war in Iraq that killed over a million civilians and thousands of soldiers from different nations.

However, President Obama is now following suit, via sending more troops to the Middle East, terrible political policies in the area of finance, wild spending initiatives and issuing international snubs of world leaders and monarchs, in incidents that have been widely reported in the press.

The U.S. economy is also intertwined with that of several other nations and President Obama's recording spending is alarming many in international financial circles, as they have invested in America and vice versa. It seems as if every day the public wakes up to news of more spending and it is alarming. The money being thrown around consists of significant sums not easily recouped.

The Justice Department, F.B.I., C.I.A. and N.S.A. are illegally combing emails and wiretapping the phones of politicians and diplomats of foreign countries IN THEIR RESPECTIVE NATIONS, causing massive offense and damaging international relations, as it violates the law in other nations.

Domestic scandals that prominently feature members of the President's cabinet such as Rahm Emanuel, D.O.J. Attorney General, Eric Holder and F.B.I. Director, Robert S. Mueller, are doing Mr. Obama and his administration no favors domestically or internationally.

From a distance, it has the appearance of chaos and confusion, which does not instill confidence. In short, President Obama is getting some very bad advice. Mr. Obama is an intelligent, educated, articulate man. Why he has chosen this path and is listening to certain people, is stupefying.

Carville poll: Majority now say U.S. is less respected than it was two years ago

posted at 8:30 pm on March 8, 2010 by - It's a poll of Americans, not foreigners, so it's not so much evidence that we are less respected than that we perceive ourselves to be. I hope The One finds comfort in that fact when these numbers start to shake out in November.

Devastating.

The Democracy Corps-Third Way survey released Monday finds that by a 10-point margin - 51 percent to 41 percent - Americans think the standing of the U.S. dropped during the first 13 months of Mr. Obama's presidency.

"This is surprising, given the global acclaim and Nobel peace prize that flowed to the new president after he took office," said pollsters for the liberal-leaning organizations.

On the national security front, a massive gap has emerged, with 50 percent of likely voters saying Republicans would likely do a better job than Democrats, a 14-point swing since May. Thirty-three percent favored Democrats…
