80% Of Americans Don't Trust The Government

U.S. President Barack Obama

According to a PEW research poll, 80% of Americans do not trust the government. With the rampant abuse of public goodwill that occurred under the Bush administration, only to be followed by a year of disappointing revelations and actions by the Obama administration, Americans have good reason not to trust the government.

Let's not forget the lies of the Clinton administration, regarding Bill Clinton's extracurricular sexual activities and then First Lady Hillary Clinton's duplicitous dealings in the Whitewater scandal.

Most egregiously, the long suffering American people have been lied to about a war that wreaked havoc in the Middle East and destroyed America's name all over the world.

The nation's citizens have also been subjected to lies about renditioning, warrantless spying on American citizens by the FBI and NSA in the areas of telephones, mobile phones, computers, emails, GPS, bank accounts, credit reports and library cards. Deficit and budgetary spending has also been corrupted and camouflaged to hide the truth.

It's been one lie after another for the past twenty years, giving the American people and the world, no reason to trust the U.S. government. What is most alarming is the government's abuse of the U.S. Constitution, court system and federal law, in attempting to get away with blatantly illegal and unethical conduct. This misconduct hit a jarring crescendo under the Bush administration.

Some government officials have smirked and laughed at the gross lack of transparency and culpability in office, regarding illegal conduct they have been able to get away with, that has been witnessed by the American people and the world, clearly not grasping it has deteriorated America to terrible degrees.

It's the equivalent of burning one's house down, not realizing people are watching the act of self-sabotage, in a crooked attempt to become rich and powerful, via illegally obtained funds one is banking on.

Poll: 4 out of 5 Americans don't trust Washington

9 hours ago - WASHINGTON — America's "Great Compromiser" Henry Clay called government "the great trust," but most Americans today have little faith in Washington's ability to deal with the nation's problems.

Public confidence in government is at one of the lowest points in a half century, according to a survey from the Pew Research Center. Nearly 8 in 10 Americans say they don't trust the federal government and have little faith it can solve America's ills, the survey found.

The survey illustrates the ominous situation President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party face as they struggle to maintain their comfortable congressional majorities in this fall's elections. Midterm prospects are typically tough for the party in power. Add a toxic environment like this and lots of incumbent Democrats could be out of work.

Obama Cracking Down On Whistleblowers

U.S. President Barack Obama: stop snitching!

U.S. President Barack Obama is cracking down on whistleblowers that expose misconduct within his regime government. A former employee of the NSA, Thomas A. Drake, was indicted for leaking confidential government documents to a journalist, revealing criminal conduct by the U.S. government.

The FBI recently did the same regarding another whistleblower that worked for the Bureau. Because if there's one thing Obama can't stand it's a snitch.

Obama DoJ indicts NSA whistleblower…are you mad yet?

Friday April 16, 2010 1:54 pm - If you were mad at all about Bush’s violations of civil liberties when he was president, this will get you fuming:

In a rare legal action against a government employee accused of leaking secrets, a grand jury has indicted a former senior National Security Agency official on charges of providing classified information to a newspaper reporter in hundreds of e-mail messages in 2006 and 2007.

The official, Thomas A. Drake, 52, was also accused of obstructing justice by shredding documents, deleting computer records and lying to investigators who were looking into the reporter’s sources...

Obama Plays Scientist

U.S. President Barack Obama (center)

U.S. President Barack Obama has overruled accomplished scientists and astronauts, including Neil Armstrong, in dictating what NASA's space agenda should be.

It is a known fact in intelligence circles that the FBI and NSA illegally spies on domestic and foreign scientists, obtaining unlawfully made advance copies of their work, using it to formulate and compile reports for the White House and select members of Congress, hoping to keep them ahead of the curve.

This, however, doesn't not make the President a scientist. Much like the budget breaking, dictatorial health care bill that passed last month, does not make you a doctor. Someone needs to come back down to earth, pardon the pun.

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.

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…

A May 2009 survey by the pollsters found the public saw the Democratic and Republican parties as equally able to handle national security (41 percent trusted Democrats more, and 43 percent trusted Republicans more.) On conducting the war on terrorism, the two parties were tied at 41 percent...

School’s Illegal Defense For Spying On Kids In Their Homes With Webcams

15-year-old Blake Robbins

Harriton High’s defense, of what amounts to voyeurism, illegal wiretapping and computer intrusion that violated the privacy of minors attending their school, is offensive and insulting to anyone with intelligence.

What is very troubling about the case is the school’s gall, in trying to defend as their right, what is illegal criminal conduct, when any jurist with half a brain can see they flagrantly broke the law.

How can they act as though, spying on people in their homes with cameras, without their knowledge or consent, is acceptable human behavior? Students and their parents are outraged, along with many citizens all over the country, but the school just doesn’t get it.

Harriton High’s management tried to have their own illegal reality show, ensconced in people's homes, with unwitting participants, which constitutes several felonies.

Another issue one cannot get past, is the obvious fact the webcams on the school issued laptops had to have been snapping away indiscriminately, with someone(s) on the school’s end watching live camera feeds or later sorting through what it each unit had captured.

Numerous students were complaining that the webcams would turn on without prompting at various intervals, but the school labeled it a “glitch” full well knowing it was not, as they failed to disclose to parents and students, they have been running an illegal surveillance program, using the webcams on the laptops they gave the children.

If they thought the spy program was above board, why didn't they inform the students and their parents verbally or in writing, "Hey, we've installed webcams and spyware on each computer we gave you, which can trigger at anytime we instruct it to, taking photos and videos, whether you are in your bedroom, bathroom or living room." No mention was made. They would never have told people the truth, as they would be in more trouble than they could ever fathom. You know, like now.

The chances are a million to one that the webcam just happened to catch this young man at the very moment he was popping candy that looked like pills.

Once again, based on the way technology works and claims asserted online by students of Harriton High, the Judiciary Report stands by the belief, the webcams were triggering at repeated intervals over the course of the 14 month program. Then, someone forwarded specific snaps to the vice principal and other members of the faculty that are involved in this scandal.

Mike Perbix (Pervix, is more like it) is one of the computer administrators responsible for the webcam spy program at Harriton High School

The Judiciary Report does not state this to distress people or cause paranoia, but there are technological facts involved that need to be taken into account.

Through the Anthony Pellicano case, the public found out, the private investigator had illegal wiretap software designed to begin recording unlawfully snooped on calls of surveillance subjects, that would trigger when a certain word was spoken over the phone, in an effort to help reduce the amount of calls Pellicano and his criminal staff of 4, would later have to sift through on behalf of Hollywood clients, to get to specific data they requested for personal use or court cases.

For example, a tape was released revealing actor, Tom Cruise, unlawfully had Pellicano wiretap then wife, Nicole Kidman. Say, Kidman would go on and on over the phone about hair, make-up and nail polish, not that Tom wouldn’t like that stuff based on prevalent rumors about his sexuality, Pellicano reportedly could have the software programmed to flag and record calls that specifically mentioned the word “Tom.” It cuts down on time.

The American NSA and its Echelon spy station in Britain, uses a similar technique, that if one says the words “bomb” or “President” over the phone, among other items, the call is recorded and forwarded to a government analyst for further review, to verify one is not a terrorist or criminal, planning to blow up the President of the United States. This has been written about in the press.

But, to my knowledge, there is no commercially available software that can watch for and alert a webcam operator, of when a person is breaking the law on camera. There are motion detectors for cameras, but not one that is available to the public that can alert you when a crime is committed, such as taking drugs in front of a webcam. The webcam or surveillance camera just triggers when it detects motion.

Therefore, there are holes in the school’s story. The Judiciary Report would like for the vice principal of Harriton High, to be interviewed and explain her conduct, such as what she was doing with a webcam photo of a 15-year-old in his bedroom, snapped without his knowledge or that of his family.

There is no good answer to that question, which is why the school keeps answering the query in a deceitful manner, by stating the minor, "Was not punished for it." We didn't ask you that. Did you or did you not have in your possession, a photo of 15-year-old Blake Robbins and or any other students, in their homes. Yes or no. If you say yes, you and all involved deserve massive prison sentences and must be registered as sex offenders.

School Spied On Kids In Their Homes With WebCams

The Spy at Harriton High

This investigation into the remote spying allegedly being conducted against students at Lower Merion represents an attempt to find proof of spying and a look into the toolchain used to accomplish spying. Taking a look at the LMSD Staff List, Mike Perbix is listed as a Network Tech at LMSD. Mr. Perbix has a large online web forum footprint as well as a personal blog, and a lot of his posts, attributed to his role at Lower Merion, provide insight into the tools, methods, and capabilities deployed against students at LMSD. Of the three network techs employed at LMSD, Mr. Perbix appears to have been the mastermind behind a massive, highly effective digital panopticon.

PanoMasterMind, I'll be watch-in you - Mike Perbix

The primary piece of evidence, already being reported on by a Fox affiliate, is this amazing promotional webcast for a remote monitoring product named LANRev. In it, Mike Perbix identifies himself as a high school network tech, and then speaks at length about using the track-and-monitor features of LanRev to take surreptitious remote pictures through a high school laptop webcam. A note of particular pride is evident in his voice when he talks about finding a way outside of LANRev to enable "curtain mode", a special remote administration mode that makes remote control of a laptop invisible to the victim. Listen at 35:47, when he says:

"you're controlling someone's machine, you don't want them to know what you're doing" - Mike Perbix

It isn't until 37 minutes into the video till Perbix begins talking about the Theft Tracking feature, which causes the laptop to go into a mode where it beacons its location and silent webcam screenshots out to an Internet server controlled by the school.

We Found the Glitch, Mrs. Buttle

The truly amazing part of this story is what's coming out from comments from the students themselves. Some of the interesting points:

Possession of a monitored Macbook was required for classes

Possession of an unmonitored personal computer was forbidden and would be confiscated

Disabling the camera was impossible

Jailbreaking a school laptop in order to secure it or monitor it against intrusion was an offense which merited expulsion
