Chinese President, Hu Jintao, consoled victims of the terrible earthquake that hit China last week, killing over 2,000 people. Previously, Jintao, was often seen smiling in public when greeting his constituents and foreign leaders, but international papers noted he let his compassionate side show in visiting, embracing and encouraging earthquake survivors this week. Jintao promised them "new homes" stating the region "will be rebuilt" and they "will have bright futures." That was nice.

Poland's Political Crisis

President Lech Kaczynski memorial

Poland is facing a political crisis in the aftermath of the death of President Lech Kaczynski and 94 members of his government, who were killed in a plane crash, shrouded in conspiracy theories of foul play.

It is a government's worst nightmare. It also serves as additional proof, key members of the same government should not travel together, as one accident can destabilize a nation.

The Polish people are making plans to regroup and reorganize, calling for elections to be held as soon as possible. The Judiciary Report sends its condolences and sympathy to the people of Poland in this terrible tragedy.

Adopted Russian Child Sent Back Home Alone

A family in the U.S. state of Tennessee, headed by Torry Hansen, adopted a 9-year-old boy from Russia named Artem Saveliev (renamed Justin Hansen), only to send him back to his native country, by plane and alone, with a note stating he is crazy and they cannot keep him.

The case has sparked an international incident. Hansen stated the Russian agency lied to her about the boy, not disclosing he has "psychological" problems. She says he threatened to burn their house down. She makes him sound like the boy from the movie "Problem Child."

Artem Saveliev

After being questioned in Russia, the boy told the government his adoptive mother, Torry Hansen, has not been hitting him, but has been abusing him by constantly pulling his hair. Authorities in both nations are investigating the allegations.

Adopted Russian boy, 7, returned by US mother on one-way flight to Moscow... alone

Published: 6:23PM BST 09 Apr 2010 - A US nurse put a seven-year-old Siberian boy she had adopted from a Russian orphanage on a one-way flight to Moscow with a note saying "I no longer wish to parent this child", when she found she could no longer cope with him.

A confused and upset-looking Artem Saveliev arrived unaccompanied in Moscow on a flight from Tennessee via Washington, on Thursday...

On his arrival, he gave immigration officials a typed note from his adoptive mother, Torry Ann Hansen, a nurse from Shelbyville, Tennessee, explaining in two succinct paragraphs why she no longer wanted a boy she adopted in September last year.

Russia’s foreign minister said that Moscow planned to halt the adoption of its children by US citizens after the case provoked widespread anger in Russia. Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, called the boy’s treatment a “monstrous deed”.

FBI Gives Back Looted Foreign Artwork

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

A few days ago, the FBI held a ceremony to return looted artwork to the country of Peru. The FBI stated on its website, "The 18th-century religious paintings we returned to the government of Peru yesterday might not have been worth millions of dollars, but they symbolized something far more valuable than money - a nation's cultural heritage."

How, ironic, as aspects of my preexisting Copyrights symbolize my cultural heritage that has been profaned, perverted, diluted and deteriorated by miscreants like Madonna and Gwen Stefani, yet because it's worth billions, you haven't returned that.

Lisa Raye: The Real McCoy

Warning: contains some inappropriate language that is beeped out, but not enough for you not to know what they said!

Lisa Raye McCoy has debut her new reality show titled "The Real McCoy" and it does not paint her in a flattering light. McCoy is a Hollywood actress that had a few minor film roles and co-starred on a sitcom that was moderately successful.

She then met and married Michael Misick, then Premier of Turks and Caicos, located in the Caribbean. She admits it was a business marriage and not one of love. Together, they overspent the people's money to the tune of $20,000,000, which ended in Britain returning the island to colony status, a move that was not welcome in the Caribbean or by CARICOM.

Lisa Rae McCoy and Michael Misick

McCoy states Misick told her he had $180,000,000, which is stunning considering the British government reports he went into office with $15,000 - $50,000 in his bank account.

There were reports of frequent shopping trips by the First Couple, where they dropped $100,000 minimum during each spending spree, purchasing the finest clothes and jewelry money can buy. She flew in her Hollywood friends to the island on private jets at $50,000 per trip. The couple took expensive vacations and bought real estate all over the world, all out of the people's money, leading to the financial ruination of the nation.

Misick lost his footing and began living like a rich movie star. He even began dressing like Scarface, with a cigar hanging out of his mouth, rather than a Prime Minister.

One of Raye's friends she brought to meet Misick, who is the co-host of B.E.T.'s 106 & Park, had an affair with the Premier behind her back, infuriating McCoy.

Turks and Caicos is a beautiful place with so much economic potential, but rather that building on what the nation has in its favor, Misick became sidetracked through questionable financial choices he made and it led to the collapse of the government.

Kai (Lisa Rae's daughter), Lisa Raye McCoy and sister Da Brat (incarcerated rapper)

Now McCoy is back in Hollywood and almost broke. Misick is up on corruption charges in Turks and Caicos and McCoy is still clinging to the title of First Lady in restarting her career, even comparing herself to U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama. Sorry, but Mrs. Obama would not have said, "I have a new leash on life" during a radio broadcast.

The reality show The Real McCoy is at times very awkward to watch. You see a woman financially struggling to come back to earth, after living like a queen. Her eyes water like an onion is present, at news from Al Sharpton and a lawyer, who inform her, there is no money to get out of Misick and his creditors may pursue her. McCoy in turn asks if she can beat Misick up to get the money...which isn't even his to begin with, as it belongs to Turks and Caicos.

McCoy is very haughty in this reality series and it does her no favors. Her daughter is definitely her best accomplishment, as she is a beautiful girl that speaks well and carries herself with a humility that translates well on screen. She could learn something from her daughter.

Qatar Diplomat In U.S. Terrorism Scare Released

Video: Police Release Smoker in Plane Scare

Mohammed Al-Madadi, the Qatar diplomat that caused a scare on a U.S. plane in Colorado yesterday, has been released, after being detained for allegedly attempting to ignite a shoe bomb.

It is now being claimed it was a misunderstanding, due to the diplomat having gone to the bathroom to illegally smoke a cigarette. When confronted about the smoke emanating from the airplane toilet, believing he had been racially profiled, he reportedly joked he was attempting to set off a shoe bomb.

If this version of events are true, under the circumstances, such a joke is not funny. In light of the airplane tragedies that have happened as a result of terrorism, with one occurring just 3 and 1/2 months ago, such a joke is insensitive.

Mohammed Al-Madadi should face disciplinary action in his home country for smoking on a plane and making such a joke, which resulted in a national emergency, money expended on law enforcement and military response and more importantly, distress to fellow passengers. Why was he smoking in the bathroom when it is prohibited.

Officials: Jet restroom smoker caused bomb scare

50 minutes ago - DENVER — A Middle Eastern diplomat who set off a national terrorism scare when he grabbed a surreptitious smoke in a jetliner's bathroom and then joked about lighting his shoe on fire has been released from custody and will likely not face criminal charges.

The scare prompted the military to scramble fighter jets to escort the Boeing 757 to the Denver airport Wednesday night. But no explosives were found on the flight.

Authorities speaking on condition of anonymity said they don't think the envoy was trying to hurt anyone and he will not be criminally charged...

Qatar Diplomat Taken Into Custody For Igniting Flammable Item During Flight

It is being widely reported, a Qatar diplomat has been taken into custody for attempting to ignite a shoe bomb on a U.S. flight to the American state of Colorado.

The details are currently sketchy. Some outlets are reporting it is a terrorist attempt that set a portion of the plane on fire, while others are now stating he was merely lighting a cigarette. The Judiciary Report smells a cover up.

Air marshal subdues man on Denver flight: report

Last Updated: Wednesday, April 7, 2010 | 10:58 PM ET - A Qatari man is reported to be in custody after a U.S. air marshal subdued him on a Denver-bound flight Wednesday.

The FBI is now probing whether the man tried to ignite his shoes while aboard United Flight 663 from Washington, D.C. An air marshal on the plane apparently restrained the man, and the aircraft landed safely at Denver airport...

First reports were that the incident involved an attempt to set a shoe on fire, but specifics of the situation were unclear.

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.

Karl Rove Proud Of Waterboarding

Former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice and Karl Rove

Karl Rove, an adviser of former U.S. President, George W. Bush, stated to the press today, he is proud of the torture technique known as waterboarding (simulated drowning), which was used on a number of terrorist suspects.

He is unwise to make such a proclamation, as he is boasting of violating the Geneva Conventions, which the United States signed and is subject to, under international law. It sends a terrible message to the world that is already mistrustful of the U.S. government.

Karl Rove 'proud' of waterboarding

3/12/10 11:51 AM EST - Former Bush White House adviser Karl Rove is 'proud' that American interrogators used waterboarding to extract information from suspected terrorists.

Asked in an interview Thursday with the BBC if he was proud of weatherboarding and other “enhanced interrogation” techniques approved by the Bush White House, Rove said, “Yes, I'm proud that we kept the world safer than it was, by the use of these techniques.”...

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...

Obama Ushers Dalai Lama Out The Backdoor

Tibet's Dalai Lama (left) and U.S. President Barack Obama (right)

Yesterday, U.S. President Barack Obama, met with Tibetan guru the Dalai Lama at the White House in Washington, D.C., despite protests from China, the largest holder of national debt. According to reports, China views the visit as interference in their national politics, stating they are hurt by it.

After the visit was over, the Dalai Lama was escorted out the backdoor like a mistress (I just had a flash back from the Clinton era). What was the sense of bringing him there, only to ban reporters and then usher him out the back. It comes across as discourteous.

Obama Talks About Being A One Term President

Hollywood President Or Political President

U.S. President Barack Obama

Recently, President Barack Obama stated he would rather be a good one term president, rather than a bad two term president. Obama's poll numbers have hit record lows, government spending has reached an all-time high and the U.S. economy is in the worst condition it has ever been in, as the incumbent has been unable to correct the damage the former president created, making decisions that have worsened the nation's financial state.

If this pattern continues, Obama will not leave office in good standing. His legacy will be, he spent more taxpayer money than any other president in history, national debt reached an all time high during his presidency and his poll numbers hit record lows months after assuming office. Who would really want such a legacy. As the first black President of America, Obama owes African-Americans and blacks worldwide more than that.

However, Obama is governing Hollywood style, with big budgets, like on a movie set and controversial company...and therein lies the problem. Last week, historian, Webster Tarpley, stated Obama is inviting the Dalai Lama to Washington, as he is a favorite of Hollywood, who donated millions to the President's election campaign and often visit the White House as well.

(Webster Tarpley) Video: US-China relations could get worse - RT

Inviting the Dalai Lama to the White House was not in America's best interest, as the largest holder of national debt, China, took it as spitting in their faces, due to the massive ongoing dispute they have with the sectarian leader they deem a rebel trying to splinter their nation.

China is now threatening to sell all U.S. bonds it purchased. The Judiciary Report is not stating be uncivil to the Dalai Lama, but the nation is steeped in financial turbulence, therefore, was this really the best time to engage in such a maneuver, infuriating the largest holder of national debt.

Then, there is the big budget Hollywood style spending coming out of Washington, like they're on a movie set. Anyone championing it, simply does not understand economics. Many a movie studio and film production company have gone belly up spending like that anyway - why the government thinks it will fare any better following said example is anyone's guess.

No nation in financial distress can truly spend its way out of debt. You are a government. You can't spend money to make money, as though you are a corporation in the black. It is also worth noting, some of what the government is spending taxpayer money on is quite risky, not guaranteeing any proper, lasting return. This is the time to raise taxes on the rich and cut government spending.

Any good head of state should hope to leave office with the legacy of helping the poor, reducing national debt, boosting the economy, rebuilding political bridges that were burned both nationally and internationally, promoting peace and consistently using forthrightness, candor and impartiality in governing decision.

Following the Hollywood way is not the way to achieve a good legacy. If following Hollywood lands Obama in Chicago in 2012, rather than Washington, he is going to be angry, embittered and full of regrets. They are not worth your presidency or legacy.

As for Hollywood, they need to get their backsides back on their sets and keep their noses out of people's politics. You are actors and singers paid to perform lines someone else writes, as most of you aren't even bright enough to do that (hence all the stealing of copyrights).

In my experience, Hollywood stars are often crazy and dimwitted - they play politicians, doctors and lawyers on TV, then go out into the real world thinking they are these things and act on it to disastrous results, as they have no formal training or the mental capacity for it.

Dick Cheney Creates More Ill Will

Video: Biden and Cheney's War of Words

Former Vice President Dick Cheney came out of retirement again and drew more ill will for the U.S. government at home and abroad, by proclaiming he is for torture, with a particular fondness for waterboarding, which simulates drowning. He also stated Obama should be thankful to George W. Bush for the Iraq war, which is astonishing and appalling, showing a great lack of respect and repentance, as over 1 million people have died as a result of their lies. Vice President Cheney has rebuked him for these statements.

These constant misconceived quotes are doing nothing for the government's name, as torture is internationally illegal. Repeatedly coming forth and touting illegal criminal activity, under the guise of national security, is sowing additional seeds of mistrust and disgust. Torture is criminal, as is terrorism, therefore it puts you in the same class as terrorists.

Cheney: Biden should give credit for Iraq to Bush

Feb 14, 12:36 PM (ET) - WASHINGTON (AP) - When Vice President Joe Biden says Iraq war may turn out to be one of President Barack Obama's greatest achievements, Dick Cheney wants credit where he says it's due: the Bush administration.

"If they're going to take credit for it, fair enough, for what they've done while they're there," Cheney said Sunday. "But it ought to go with a healthy dose of 'thank you, George Bush' up front and a recognition that some of their early recommendations, with respect to prosecuting that war, were just dead wrong."...

Biden, appearing on Sunday news shows, said he believes Obama has managed the war in Iraq "very well" since taking office a year ago. He said, however, that he doesn't believe the war was worth the "horrible price" in lives lost and the initial mismanagement of the war by Bush.

"We took our eye off the ball, putting us in a much different and more dangerous position in Afghanistan. We lost support around the world. It's taken a lot of hard work to get it back. But we were handed - we were dealt a hand, and I think we're handling it incredibly well," Biden said...

Obama Upsets China With Dalai Lama Visit

Historian, Webster Tarpley, spoke about U.S. President Barack Obama's planned visit with Tibet's Dalai Lama and how it has greatly upset the Chinese government.

China is promising America financial punishment for this move and is currently mapping how best to achieve this goal. Considering China holds the largest amount of U.S. debt, Obama has a problem on his hands.

Obama Acquiring Nuclear Weapons

...Even Though He Just Won The Nobel Peace Prize

U.S. President Barack Obama

In spite of the fact he just won a Nobel PEACE Prize, U.S. President Barack Obama, is stockpiling nuclear weapons. He has requested billions more in the U.S. budget for nuclear weapons research and development.

It was referred to as, "The president's nuclear vision." Also known as World War III if they are not careful, as it could set off an international arms race. Obama certainly is changing and it is being noted everywhere.

Obama seeks money for nuclear weapons work

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – President Barack Obama is seeking increased funding for nuclear weapons research and security programs next year, even as his administration promotes nonproliferation and has pledged to reduce the world's stockpile of nuclear arms.

The administration on Monday asked Congress for more than $7 billion for activities related to nuclear weapons in the budget of the National Nuclear Security Administration, an increase of $624 million from the 2010 fiscal year.

NNSA Administrator Thomas D'Agostino defended putting more money into the programs, saying the U.S. needs the best nuclear weapons facilities, scientists, technicians and engineers as it moves toward eventual disarmament.

"This budget is implementing the president's nuclear vision," he said...

U.S. Deficit To Hit All Time High

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama is seeking to implement a record $3.8 trillion budget for 2011, increasing the national deficit by an unprecedented $1.6 trillion dollars. This is trouble waiting to happen.

Unprecedented, crushing debt, can topple the federal government, forcing a complete restructuring of the national legislative hierarchy, due to lack of funds. If the national debt becomes too high, there will only be money for local government, while many federal agencies would face the chop.

One cannot keep pressing up money and expect foreign nations will keep opening their coffers to dole out generous loans, if repayment is painfully not possible, due to dire financial straits. Too much spending is going on and too little saving.

Deficit to Hit All-Time High

JANUARY 31, 2010, 7:36 P.M. ET - Obama's $3.8 Trillion Budget Forecasts a $1.6 Trillion Shortfall for 2010 Before It Drops.

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama will propose on Monday a $3.8 trillion budget for fiscal 2011 that projects the deficit will shoot up to a record $1.6 trillion this year, but would push the red ink down to about $700 billion, or 4% of the gross domestic product, by 2013, according to congressional aides.

The deficit for the current fiscal year, which ends on Sept. 30, would eclipse last year's $1.4 trillion deficit, in part due to new spending on a proposed jobs package. The president also wants $25 billion for cash-strapped state governments, mainly to offset their funding of the Medicaid health program for the poor.
