A Federal Judge Forces Obama into Transparency (Executive Privilege Abuse)

Court Rejects Obama Admin Executive Privilege Arguments

Judge dings admin for ‘cavalier attitude’ toward transparency

A federal judge Tuesday rejected the Obama administration’s sweeping claims of executive privilege and ordered the disclosure of a foreign aid directive signed by President Barack Obama in 2010 but never publicly released.

U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle [ruled] the presidential order is not within the bounds of executive privilege and called the government’s arguments in favor of secrecy “troubling.”

“The government appears to adopt the cavalier attitude that the President should be permitted to convey orders throughout the Executive Branch without public oversight … to engage in what is in effect governance by ‘secret law,’” Huvelle said.

The Justice Department claimed the Presidential Policy Directive on Global Development—a guidance memo issued to federal agencies in 2010—was covered by executive privilege and restricted to those who “need to know.”

However, Huvelle found that “the government has not, even after plaintiff raised the issue … defined what ‘need to know’ means.”

“Here there is no evidence that the [directive] was intended to be, or has been treated as, a confidential presidential communication,” Huvelle wrote.

Huvelle, a Clinton appointee, issued the ruling in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the Center For Effective Government.

Julie Murray, an attorney with Public Citizen and counsel for the Center for Effective Government in the suit, said in an interview that the case “is going to have important implications for public access to federal policy.”

“It represents a rebuke of the government’s attempt to keep presidential policy directives secret, even when the directives—like this one—are publicly touted, have broad application to federal agencies, and are not classified,” she said.

The Center for Effective Government originally filed FOIA requests for the directive in 2011 with the State Department and USAID. Both agencies denied the requests and subsequent appeals, prompting the lawsuit.

“We knew that we had somewhat of a unique case with the presidential communications privilege here, and we thought it was fairly unprecedented the way they were trying to claim it,” Center for

Effective Government’s open government analyst Gavin Baker said in an interview. “Thankfully the judge agreed. We think it could have been a dangerous thing if the privilege had been allowed to grow that way.”

“The judge had some very cogent things to say about how FOIA was meant to constrain secret law and ensure government does its business in public so the American people can know about it and debate it,” Baker continued. “I was very gratified to see the judge take the same perspective we have. It was a win for transparency.”

The Justice Department, which represented the White House in the case, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Even a Democrat Federal Judge is disgusted with this scourge to humanity.

Lodge a complaint against a Police Officer, Judge, Lawyer, Official, or an "important" member of their family or one of their friends, and police will come confiscate your firearms, probably arrest you, and there will be a campaign to break up your family, make you lose your job, home, friends, retirement, credit, pets, health insurance, the sum total of your life's work.

If you contact an elected official about a court or police matter to an elected official, they turn you name in so police, and the police union, can target you.

Judges make their own rules, don't break them!

The entire US Policing and Court System is broken all over the US. I mostly talk about what happens in Connecticut, but check out the below and know that is happening the same way in your state if you do not live in Connecticut. I would like to hear about your case in your state if you would like to talk to me and possibly have it posted here on this blog and on my [LiveLeak.com video upload channel].

I have talked to so many people about the family and probate court system to even count. People would not be calling me with how much they enjoyed courts. They are also not calling to say how much they liked the bill they got from their lawyers, saying "great service", and saying how honest prosecutors, judges, and other court operators are. Some courts are actually listed as corporations. So, courts can be international terrorism and theft by fraud as the norm, not the exception.

If you are going to get an inheritance, it may end up in the hands of the state, lawyers, and judges. You may get nothing, or just a little piece.

Judges, lawyers, and pirates in State Government, can threaten one of their theft victims with gag orders, being beaten up, prison, or even killed. A victim of theft due to legal abuse, can find themselves audited, and abused at every turn possible. If you have kids or a spouse, contractors for the abusers and/or police informants will use what you post on social media to target anyone, and everyone you know. Destroying you, ruining you financially, breaking up marriages, and estranging children from their parents is just a game for insiders. They can laugh in your face as you suffer, then go out and buy a new sports car or vacation house on the funds derived from your broken dreams.

Judges and lawyers often refer to each other as friends. They socialize, eat lunch together, and many have investing or other financial dealings with each other. So, most lawyers have a conflict of interest defending their clients. They only have a short term relationship with each client. Clients are just to be strung along until they have no more money to pay lawyers their exorbitant fees.When you are broke, the case magically comes to a conclusion. Most lawyers don't care if you are innocent or guilty, and don't care when you are penniless, broken, and serving a prison sentence you don't deserve.

Too often lawyers talk about Judges making up their own rules as they go along. So, it is not what you did, or didn't do wrong, it is about who you know and whether, or not, you are able to adhere to a judge's arbitrary rules. Chris Kennedy was told his kids were being taken away because he is of Irish Ancestry by Judge Jonathan J. Kaplan, that there is strife in Ireland, and painted Chris with a broad brush of being violent. Chris' ex-wife Leanne stabbed Chris, allegedly, when she had been found out being a cheater. The court award Leanne sole custody of the kids, denied Chris being able to see his children, and Chris was facing 30 years in prison for accidentally checking a wrong box on a court financial form.

Any lawyers I have talked to about [Judge Jonathan J. Kaplan] say he is one of the most scary, evil, and vindictive sociopaths they have ever met. Vernon Rockville GA#19 Superior Court and Family Court are known as being some of the most abusive courts in the State of Connecticut. Tolland Troop C [Connecticut State Police are known from being racist, abusive, and mere armed revenue collectors]. It is my opinion that states like Connecticut should be boycotted for their ignoring the US Constitution and so abusing citizens. If you live near the Rockville Court or in an area served by Troop C, Connecticut State Police, I suggest you move.

[My story with pictures and videos for to prove my points]. [Scroll down in this post and click on documents to make them big enough to view].

Elected officials are no better. It is mostly lawyers who are legislators on the Judiciary Committee. It is a conflict of interest. These lawyers consider judges their friends, not their constituents. These lawyers make their money from the judicial branch. So, the laws they make are to make judges, lawyers, the state, immunity from civil judgements, and just make themselves themselves richer with no accountability and immunity from prosecution. BAR Associations of States should be consider foreign corporations, an organized crime syndicate.

It is my opinion the only checks and balances that judges, lawyers, government officials, international corporate organized crime and bankers, and their contractor friends and family have to worry about is bloggers, citizens posting videos, and independent journalists. The system, the courts, and police have zero ability to honestly police themselves.

Ritt Goldstein informed the Connecticut Judiciary (elected officials) or what was wrong with the Connecticut Courts System and Policing in Connecticut, and how to fix it, that he was so terrorized by police after making the below video, that he fled the State of Connecticut, the US, and fled to Sweden seeking Political Asylum. The entire government, court system, and US Policing has only gotten worse. So much so, is the US a good place to work, live, raise children, and retire in?

UBS Bank, elected officials, lawyers, and judges are either bribe takers or bribe givers depending on the circumstances ...

Michael Nowacki has been arrested numerous times after exposing New Canaan officials and Police for taking "gifts" that weren't declared, exposing UBS Bank as a money laundering facility for officials, judges, lawyers, police officers drug traffickers, and the Mafia, and for exposing the "payolla", nepotism, and the awarding of no bid contracts to friends, family, and associates of Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy.

Michael Nowacki of New Canaan Connecticut breaks it down:



Is Connecticut Attorney General Richard "Dick" Blumenthal saying that all elected officials take bribes from international bankers and corporate pirates, so it is okay to do if everyone does it, right? Former Connecticut US Senator Chris Dodd took bribes to bankrupt America and then quietly retired after being caught, no arrest, no prison! Blumenthal now sits in Dodd's seat. What a bunch of lying and thieving scumbags.

There may have not been any economic crisis in the entire US, if authorities listened to Attorney Richard I.

So, if you've checked out the above link, yes you can be blacklisted if you are critical of police or the courts in blogs, in newspapers, and/or propose legislation to elected officials to fix the problem. You can be denied police protection and service, not get service in courts, just barbecuing, and you can lose your job, family, home, retirement, and future all for testing Free Speech to be held in the US as a political prisoner, railroaded to jail. If it happened to me, and no official will lift a finger when they're presented with information, it can happen to anybody anytime.

State of Connecticut Mugshots

The above mugshot is of Cassandra Smith arrested in the Watertown, Connecticut, area for allegedly selling marijuana. I feel sorry for someone entering the system for such charges. With the lack of jobs a lot of young people are doing what they can to get by. Ms. Smith would be someone I would want to talk to concerning a documentary I would like to shoot in Connecticut about the "justice" system.

I found a whole gaggle of mugshots [here on the Hartford Courant].

The below photo is of Melanie Spittle arrested for prostitution in Hartford. She and her husband, Rodney Spittle, were continually selling heroin off my properties on 3 and 5 Church St., Stafford Springs, Connecticut. She would have her kids in the car, slam her car into a telephone pole high on drugs, and Connecticut State Police refused to do anything saying that they wanted them to have happy holidays and their kids having Christmas. Ken and Robin Pelc would also sell crack cocaine and heroin off my former properties. Robin Pelc would also turn tricks as a prostitute. They would have puppies and kittens and then throw them in the trash after they died.

Police in Stafford Springs, Connecticut, were more interested in arresting me and putting me in prison for being self-employed to go to prison for the holidays, then to go after criminals. It is about revenue collection and property confiscation. [Any lie or false accusation will do]. [Click here] for pictures and glimpse of my life, before and after, gross police misconduct and judicial abuse. 





Check out the Hartford Courant link. The mugshots are pretty amazing. There are a lot of home invasions, shootings, murders, sexual assaults, rapes, and a lot of criminals carrying guns. A lot of women arrested for prostitution look so beaten and drugged up, I don't who they would be getting to sleep with them.

If Connecticut bans guns for honest citizens, crime will increase. Murders, rapes, home invasions, and other crimes will increase. Criminals will then know they have a free pass.

Connecticut State Police have a political agenda. I don't put it past them to file false reports, commit perjury in court, and their lab has been accused of manufacturing evidence. So, I would not put it past Connecticut State Police Officers either shooting kids in school, or finding police informants to do the job, to blame a patsy to help end Americans' 2nd Amendment Rights.

Did an Enfield, Connecticut, Police Officer leave the scene of accident after striking another vehicle while drunk, driving around his 14 year old prostitute girlfriend? Did the officer receive any kind of punishment? [Story with links and video]

Did a Vernon, Connecticut, Police Officer get into trouble for 108 counts of felony computer crimes, or was it eventually swept under the rug. [That story, click here].

Both stories above aren't recent. The mugshots are currently on the Hartford Courant Newspaper website as of the date of this post. At least two white police officers shot blacks in the back, executing them. They had trials and the prosecutor in each case purposely botched the cases so the officers could then skate on appeal and sue for damages after being let off. So being a racist white cop in Connecticut executing blacks is a PAYING JOB! [The Teleflon Badge]. The two white officers that I know about are Hartford Detective Robert Lawlor and Officer Scott Smith who stood on an African American suspects back, placed his gun near his boot, and then fired executing the suspect. 

Cocaine, Big Banks, SEIU Goon Union, the Police State, and YOU

Are international thugs and spy goons, contracting for the SEIU, going after those who are too publicly critical of Obamacare (The Affordable Health Care Act)?

Have you wondered if there is some sort of international spider web of control of your entire nation, a conduit? Often two sides who are working towards the same goals can appear to be working against each other. Republicans vs Democrats and Big Banks vs. SEIU, the international goon union are examples. There are millions of SEIU members all over the world. Many are police, firefighters, teacher, sanitation works, DOT, DCF, EPA, FDA, FBI, IRS, court riggers or their contractors, or you name it. The SEIU can orchestrate 400 to 500 people bused in to show up at your house. Or, maybe you can be blacklisted so police informants, police, and riggers of courts do you in. You can't play the game if you don't know about the players.

Interfering with Mafia cocaine and heroin dealing can get you on the SEIU thug radar. The CIA and black operations are largely funded with tax dollars AND illegal drug trafficking. Big Banks, not community banks and local credit unions, launder the drug trafficking money. The international corporate organized crime and banking cartel that has nations under stealth occupation can rig the government, the police, and the courts with their goon union.

Contact an elected official about public corruption, judicial misconduct, and/or police brutality and ... yes you guessed it, a SEIU Rep gives your name and address to the Commissioner of the State Police and/or others so that you are blacklisted and retaliated against.

Those who connect the dots and tell elected officials may have to flee countries like the US and then flee to another seeking political asylum as did [Ritt Goldstein]. More Steven G. Erickson video uploads and favorites [found here].

Should being a taxpayer paid international union member be considered treason? Take the poll with this post.

The Power of Citizen Video Activism

Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe [photo and article source] used hidden cameras to pose as a prostitute and her pimp going to ACORN offices. ACORN was de-funded soon after. Citizen Journalists who engage in this sort of activism put their skin, lives, future, and freedom at risk for the rest of us. The corrupt powers that be want to end this sort of freedom, reporting, and free speech exercise.

There is retaliation for this sort of reporting. Those who lose millions, billions, or trillions are very powerful and have the resources to set citizens up for long prison sentences, family break-up and property loss, beating, torture, indefinite detention, and even being murdered where is looks like a murder, suicide, or death by natural causes.

Exposing the Biggest/Most Powerful Scumbags and then ending up Dead

I just watched the entire 1 hour 32 minute documentary called "Hating Breitbart" just now on Netflix. The embedded clip is less than 5 minutes long. The documentary gave me a new prospective. Many 30 second soundbites of major stories of the past 3 years were shown in the full version. How the mainstream media treated the subjects, or completely ignored subjects, is compelling viewing.

The reasons criminal corporate and banker interests don't want bloggers and independent journalists is exposed by what Andrew Breitbart was able to do. Exposing the lying hypocrites who expect to just tell us lies and then rip us off put Brietbart in the crosshairs.

Breitbart is just another dead independent journalist who pissed too many important people off and put out stories that did some major damage to the interests of those who own us on paper.

Shut it Down! Nullify NSA Now


Text with video:

Published on Dec 6, 2013

The city of Bluffdale, Utah, gave the National Security Agency a sweetheart deal on water. According to a Nov. 28 story in the Salt Lake Tribune, the town extended the NSA discounted rates below its own guidelines and the average in Utah to secure a contract with the spy agency. Bluffdale also issued a $3.5 million bond to pay for new water lines and infrastructure to supply the sprawling data center.

The NSA is expected to use an estimated 1.7 million gallons of water per day to cool its spy computers.

Bluffdale officials say the water deal was all in the name of economic development, and the new infrastructure will open the door to growth in the area around the spy center.

"It got us a ton of infrastructure, water infrastructure, in places we wouldn't have it," Bluffdale City Manager Mark Reid told the Salt Lake Tribune.

Tenth Amendment Center national communications director Mike Maharrey said he understands the desire to spur economic development, but not at any cost. "Claiming economic development doesn't automatically justify every action," he said. "How would people react if it was 1943 and the city was supplying water to an internment camp caging Japanese-Americans? It's really the same thing. The NSA is blatantly violating basic rights protected by the Constitution. The city is selling out its own citizens, the people of Utah and all of America for a few economic development dollars. It's pretty disgusting when you think about it." http://offnow.org/2013/11/29/nsa-gets...
