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.

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

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.

http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com

‘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.

Haitian President Labels U.S. "Corruption" Report On Haiti "Arrogant" And "Arbitrary"

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 IT Techs In Webcam Spying Case On Leave

Blake Robbins

The two school IT techs in the Blake Robbins v. Lower Merion School District have been placed on leave, in the fall out from the horrible invasion of privacy case, that saw a 15-year-old boy, photographed unaware in his own bedroom, by a webcam on a Harriton High School issued laptop.

Michael Perbix and Carol Cafiero have been placed on administrative leave and are stating the school ordered them to turn the cameras on each time. On March 6, 2010, they admitted the webcams are programmed to snap photographs of laptop users anywhere they are located "every 15 minutes."

The school IT Techs confessions on March 6, 2010 confirms what the Judiciary Report previously stated on February 22. 2010 in the article titled School’s Illegal Defense For Spying On Kids In Their Homes With Webcams, in that webcams with spyware attached to them, will trigger at timed intervals, as they currently cannot know when someone is seated in front of the unit doing drugs, as the school alleged regarding 15-year-old Blake Robbins, which turned out to be candy, not illegal pills.

Mike Perbix, computer administrator at Harriton High School

This means, as the site previously surmised, there is more than one photo of Blake and other students, who were caught unaware, when the school triggered the webcams to start snapping photos of them in different situations, without their permission or that of their parents.

That's called voyeurism and it is illegal in America. It also constitutes illegal wiretapping, as webcams come standard with sound and video. The intent to violate the law is clearly there, as meetings were taken before this spying program was implemented.

Oh and in more bad news, Lower Merion School District is not the only learning institution in the nation with such surreptitious spying capabilities installed on laptops.

March 6, 2010 1:12 PM PST - Two IT employees at Pennsylvania's Lower Merion School District have been put on administrative leave, and pictures taken from Webcams on school-issued computers have been turned over to the local police department, according to the attorney of one of the employees now on leave.

Attorney Charles Mandracchia, who represents school district information coordinator Carol Cafiero, told Philadelphia TV station Fox 29 that that "they had a private Web site for some of these pictures for the Lower Marion Police Department to view and they were the only ones who could view it."

In February, the family of Blake Robbins, a 15-year-old student at Harriton High School filed a civil complaint in federal court against the district for allegedly using the Webcam on his school-issued laptop to take a photo of the student while he was at home. The district contends that cameras were only activated if a laptop had been reported lost or stolen. The district has since stopped using the tracking software to activate Webcams.

Speaking about his client and Michael Perbix, the other suspended IT staff member, Mandracchia said, "It was their duty to turn on the camera, but they would only do that if they received a request from the two high schools." He also said the pictures were "taken by the computer itself...every 15 minutes once the computer was open, but it was only supposed to be done if the computer was lost or stolen."...

Obama Renews Patriot Act Provisions

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama, has renewed former President George W. Bush's controversial Patriot Act, in particular, three provisions, some of which are sorely being abused by the FBI.

The provision that, "Authorizes court-approved roving wiretaps that permit surveillance on multiple phones" is severely being abused by the FBI, to spy on innocent people in America, both citizen and non-citizen, with no suspected terrorist affiliations.

There is a type of roving mobile phone bug (wiretap) the Judiciary Report wrote about two years ago, based on a story that ran on Fox News. The FBI has the ability to turn on your mobile phone anywhere you are, triggering the microphone and having it act as an audio bug.

This enables them to pick up all conversation wherever the mobile phone is present, whether it be in your living room, bedroom, home office, car, church or at work.

It was used in a mafia case a few years ago and as you can tell, a Mafioso is not typically classified as a terrorist, but rather a hardened criminal.

Robert S. Mueller

However, on the orders of FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller, roving mobile phone audio bugs mentioned above, have also been improperly and illegally used on journalists, bloggers, politicians, community workers, activists and businesspeople, among others, who have not broken the law.

In some instances, it was done off the record, in others the FBI flat out lied, making up stories, trying to tie innocent people to terrorist investigations they knew they had nothing to do with, in order to spy on people they had no legal grounds to place under invasive surveillance.

Then, when they've sufficiently snooped on the innocent targets, they close out the sub-investigations, claiming there was no finding of terrorism or connection thereto, regarding said journalist, blogger, activist ect...

It's fine to employing surveillance methods on genuine terrorist suspects, but some people in America have been subjected to this, based on political and financial reasons, which is unconstitutional and unlawful.

Saturday, February 27, 2010; 6:11 PM - WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama has signed a one-year extension of several provisions in the nation's main counterterrorism law, the Patriot Act.

Provisions in the measure would have expired on Sunday without Obama's signature Saturday.

The act, which was adopted in the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, expands the government's ability to monitor Americans in the name of national security.

Three sections of the Patriot Act that stay in force will:

-Authorize court-approved roving wiretaps that permit surveillance on multiple phones.

-Allow court-approved seizure of records and property in anti-terrorism operations.

-Permit surveillance against a so-called lone wolf, a non-U.S. citizen engaged in terrorism who may not be part of a recognized terrorist group...

All Encompassing Spying

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

As mentioned on the site in the January 19, 2010 article FBI Collected Thousands Of Phone Records Illegally, invasive spying has become an alarming breed of misconduct from the government and Hollywood cults such as Kabbalah and Scientology.

It has grown to encompass illegal wiretapping, mobile phone roving bugs, mobile phone cloning and wiretapping, GPS tracking, computer hacking, hidden cameras, audio bugs and fMRI mind reading technology.

Gang stalking, via acts of bribing unscrupulous individuals to criminally violate U.S. and international anti-stalking laws, is also included in this pattern of misbehavior, which shall be discussed on this website shortly.

You have to step back and ask yourself, is this really the direction society should be going in, where people have no privacy. No one likes the invasive spying, except for the perpetrators engaging in this abomination that can be classified as sick voyeurism.

The bare truth is, it has put off many people that are now concerned their privacy will be invaded without proper legal grounds. Even domestic and international politicians and diplomats are concerned about their own privacy. This is not the proper, democratic foundation for a free and happy society.

Activist From ACORN Scandal Posed As Telephone Repairman

Video: Watergate Style Break-In At Sen. Landrieu's Office - CBS

The activist from the ACORN scandal, James O'Keefe, who was arrested last week for tampering with and wiretapping the office of Senator Mary Landrieu, employed a tactic I complained of 5 months ago in my lawsuit Aisha v. FBI.

Day one, the phone company would send someone to fix my phone line, then by day two, unbeknownst to us, Madonna's Kabbalah would send someone posing as a telephone repairman to tamper with it again.

This pattern repeated itself 3 times in 2005 over the course of two weeks, which led me to call the phone company and ask how many repair men they sent out. They said 3, yet we counted 6 and one of them knew too much about me, made his way into my home studio and confronted me, which gave the game away that he was a fraud posing as a repairman. Something he said gave it away that it was Kabbalah. I stated in the lawsuit:

Furthermore, how would the FBI explain away all the concrete evidence in the case, illustrating blatant crimes being committed against Aisha, such as the fact the hacks into Aisha’s computers to steal copyrights have been digitally and irrefutably traced back to the staff of Madonna.com. Madonna’s famous producers, affiliates and friends contacting Aisha online, by phone and in person. Her business partner, Sony, contacting Aisha repeatedly via email, inviting her to their company, sending her a gift by mail containing spyware, then proceeding to commit criminal copyright infringement, unlawfully using years old, preexisting copyrights belonging to Aisha. Members of Madonna’s Miami Kabbalah Center arrogantly stalking Aisha’s on a weekly basis, approaching her and getting caught on camera. The revelation that members of Madonna’s Kabbalah Center trespassed at Aisha’s home, unlawfully gaining access to Aisha’s house, pretending to be AT&T and Direct TV technicians the companies later claimed no knowledge of dispatching.

Based on reports over the past few days, O'Keefe and others conspired, then went to Senator Mary Landrieu's office posing as telephone repairmen. Apparently, this is the latest way to trespass and commit invasion of privacy and wiretapping. The sad part is innocent surveillance targets could get hurt in this manner, when people abuse phone companies' names, posing as their employees.

There was an incident regarding my phone line needing repair. All of a sudden, our line bore all the written about signs of wiretapping, such as interference on the line, static, secondary conversations as though the lines were crossed up, the phone would ring and a constant beeping noise would sound with no one on the other end, calls would abruptly cut off during key points in conversations and clicking noises would sound during certain phone calls. I looked it up online. Numerous private investigators' websites and book excerpts referred to it as signs or symptoms of wiretapping.

However, there were two other strange incidents regarding my phone line as well. In 2006, an actual AT&T repairman looked at my phone line, then came into my home office, as he didn't like what he saw on it, then started talking about wiretaps and stated "You aren't a spy are you" which really offended me, because I'm not (he was assuming only spies and terrorists are wiretapped - clearly, he hadn't met Madonna's private eye Anthony Pellicano or heard of the FBI spying on journalists and bloggers). He saw the wiretap.

Then, there was another incident prior to that where an AT&T phone repairman called me into the backyard while he was working on the phone box they put on each person's property and said to me, he doesn't like the fact there is no one inside the house, yet my phone line outside is lit up, showing activity and is engaged.

There is a pervasive corruption in the government and the corporate sector, where people believe they have an illegal right to spy on others, engaging in invasion of privacy, via wiretaps and other unsavory surveillance tools such as hidden cameras, forbidden by law. It needs to stop, as it is unconstitutional, thoroughly illegal and sick.

Has the FBI seized the computers of the New Orleans 4?

January 28, 2010 - Defenders of the operatives who tried to tamper with Sen. Mary Landrieu's phones point out that the men have not been formally accused of wiretapping. They have been accused of intending to maliciously tamper with the a federally owned phone system.

Wiretapping is one type of malicious tampering. It's also a much more serious and politically explosive charge than mere vandalism. So, as you'd expect, the suspects' lawyers are working overtime to counter suspicions of bugging or wiretapping...

The first step would be to analyze the equipment that the suspects brought with them. According to the affidavit that the two fake "repairmen" were wearing tool belts. So far, authorities haven't said what kind of tools they were carrying. It would also be nice to know more about that listening equipment that Stan Dai supposedly had with him in his car when he was arrested...

All four guys have been bailed out of jail. Let's hope the FBI has taken care to secure their home and work computers. Otherwise, they're probably home wiping their hard drives right now.
