U.S. President Barack Obama delivered his first State of the Union address to the American people tonight, promising a laundry list of items he has pegged, as important changes the nation needs. He has pledge more job creation, but stated he requires $30 billion dollars more in taxpayer money to accomplish this goal.
In light of the fact the government lost billions in squandered funds during the first job creation effort, there needs to be stronger government guidelines in the dissemination of the next round of funds, in the event the bill is passed by Congress.
President Obama also spoke of the new Civil Rights Division he established last year at his Department of Justice. Sorry, but I'm not impressed with the Justice Department's Civil Rights division.
Robert S. Mueller
When known criminals can wiretap, hack, stalk and approach me on public streets with threats of violence and murder and racial slurs, while the head of your FBI (apart of the DOJ), the racist, Robert S. Mueller, looks the other way to it, as it is lining the pockets of Hollywood stars illegally making money of copyrights that were to benefit AIDS and Cancer patients and research, as millions of people around the world watch in horror, says something is severely wrong with justice matters.
Fact Check: President Obama's State of the Union 2010
Jan. 27, 2010 - President Obama made economy the focal point of his first State of the Union address, but he also touched upon a variety of other issues, from foreign policy to health care. ABC News takes a look at the claims in President Obama's State of the Union address tonight to verify they actually are true.
Excluding Lobbyists From Administration:
"That's why -- for the first time in history -- my administration posts our White House visitors online. And that's why we've excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions," the president said tonight.
It is true that the Obama administration became the first to implement a policy disclosing visitors to the White House, but the claim on lobbyists isn't quite right...
But the president waived the rule for Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn, who was a registered lobbyist for the defense contractor Raytheon before being appointed in January...
The Obama administration has granted waivers for additional officials who had previously worked as lobbyists. In February, the administration signed waivers for Jocelyn Frye, former general counsel at the National Partnership for Women & Families, and Cecilia Muñoz, the former senior vice president for the National Council of La Raza, allowing them to work on issues for which they lobbied...
Bin Laden (left) the FBI's strange amalgamation (center) and Gaspar Llamazares (right)
On January 16. 2010, in a story this website broke first, the Judiciary Report wrote regarding the FBI's discredited aged Osama Bin Laden photo:
"The sensible, logical way to have gone about it is working with an actual photo of the real subject and adding greying to the hair and to the face, progressing it with wrinkles, slight jowls, a bit of crows feet, a mild wrinkling of the nose and things of that order, to create a projected image of what the person would look like as time passes. But the FBI took the loco approach - they cut and pasted pictures together, infusing the subject's image with that of other people, which is criminally negligent and reckless in law enforcement, as it will have the public looking for and trying to kill the wrong person. All the signs are there that a crazy person is running the FBI."
Today, IT photo expert and a professor at the University of Toronto, Parham Aarabi, confirmed what the Judiciary Report wrote two weeks ago, regarding what was truly the best way to age progress a photo of Osama Bin Laden. He stated, "The new way is to try to understand a person's face and see how that person would naturally age -- use physics and computer graphics in that sense to see realistically how my hairline and my skin will change as I get older."
A more accurate age progressed photo of Osama Bin Laden, released today by University of Toronto professor, Parham Aarabi
The photo set posted above shows the correct age progression technique, rather than the crazy one the FBI illegally employed, in committing copyright infringement and identity theft, in merging the photo of the most notorious terrorist in the world, with that of Spanish Member of Parliament, Gaspar Llamazares.
The FBI still does not grasp the offense they have caused, but imagine it this way. What if law enforcement in Spain decided to put out an age progressed photo of a terrorist responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people and used a photo of Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator Patrick Leahy or even President Obama to create the hair, forehead, eyebrows, face shape and beard in the mock up, then disseminated it to millions all over the world. The White House and U.S. Congress would be outraged.
The FBI has declined to comment on the NextGov.com article containing the professor's commentary. Of course, they will think people are trying to show them up, but it is a matter of public safety. You cannot go around using innocent people's images for law enforcement mock-ups.
What's scary is people okayed the terrible FBI mock-up at said agency, the Department of Justice and the State Department, when one look should have told them that was not really Bin Laden in the photo.
If I'd worked in any of those government agencies and someone asked me to sign off on that crazy FBI photo amalgamation, I would not have under any circumstances and asked the person who brought it to me, "Either you hate me and want me to get fired or think I need glasses or both." My next question would have been, "No really, who is that in the photo?"
FBI aging technique led to bin Laden mug mixup, IT professor says
01/27/2010 - Modiface A software program's rendering of how Osama bin Laden would age in 15 years (center) and 30 years (right).
The FBI should have focused on the physical aging of the suspect's unique skin type during a recent computerized age progression of Osama bin Laden instead of simply combining facial features from other photographs, says an expert on face detection and image processing algorithms...
"If I was looking for hairlines, I would perhaps look for a photo of bin Laden," said Parham Aarabi, chief executive officer of face visualization firm Modiface and an associate professor in the electrical and computer engineering department at the University of Toronto. "I would have used as much of Osama's own photo as possible."...
Modiface generated an age-enhanced photo of bin Laden in five seconds using an automated, Web-based tool without any manual user intervention or editing, and without additional photos or illustrations, Aarabi said. Modiface last week made the tool available free to the public, hoping that the law enforcement community will experiment with it...
"About five to 10 years ago, the software that existed involved adding overlays -- or taking elements of a photo [of an older person] and adding it to a photo that they wanted to age," Aarabi said. "The new way is to try to understand a person's face and see how that person would naturally age -- use physics and computer graphics in that sense to see realistically how my hairline and my skin will change as I get older."...
FBI officials declined to comment on Aarabi's assessment of its computer imaging.
James O'Keefe has been indicted on wiretapping charges, due to the ACORN scandal that exposed the Obama affiliated group and their misuse of federal funds. O'Keefe now stands accused of wiretapping the Senate office of Mary Landrieu in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Activist accused of tampering with US senator's phone
Tue Jan 26, 2010 8:12pm EST - HOUSTON, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department charged four men on Tuesday with tampering with phones in the New Orleans office of Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu, one of them a conservative filmmaker who last year provoked a scandal involving a liberal grass-roots group.
The FBI said among those arrested on Monday was James O'Keefe, who, posing as a pimp and accompanied by a woman pretending to be a prostitute, filmed workers with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, giving advice on how to flout housing laws.
The film attracted a big audience after being posted on YouTube...
Two frauds - Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell of "American Idol"
The rigged TV talent show, "American Idol" has been caught stealing again. Previously, the Judiciary Report covered how Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell stole the idea for the show from a Texas man that pitch it to them in their office. Then, a year later, they put the show out without payment or credit to him, reaping a fortune in ill-gotten gain.
Then, there's the Simon Fuller/Simon Cowell/Sony thefts of copyrighted songs and videos, from my preexisting Copyrighted Catalog, with the knowledge and consent of their untalented, degenerate artists on 19 Records (Sony) and Syco (Sony), who took co-writers credit for songs they did not write, that were already sitting in the Copyright Office in Washington DC, registered to me, years before they stole them, via proven computer hacking.
There's something else I wrote about in an unpublished copyright two years ago as well, regarding "American Idol." Even Simon Cowell's on-air shtick, replete with specific styled barbs, are a little too similar to ones my dad has employed for over 20-years on his award winning radio show in Jamaica called "Rhythms" - that's broadcasted all over the world as well, via the internet. My dad gets calls to the station from Britain, Canada, America, Germany and other nations, with song requests and compliments on his show. Over the years, my dad has famously gotten into on-air disputes with famous artists, whose talents he's questioned during his show, using cutting commentary, very similar to what Simon Cowell does now.
However, my dad's been doing this on his show and others, for over 20-years, as one of the world's foremost musicologists, which predates "American Idol" by over a decade. In light of the fact "American Idol" and its spin off "X-Factor" whose music is released by Sony, have infringed so many of my preexisting copyrighted songs, without permission and the fact my dad previously participated in a legal settlement regarding Sony's infringement of a copyright owned by the late legendary producer Clement "Coxsonne" Dodd, prior to "American Idol" even going on the air, I have to wonder about Cowell regarding his created persona for the show and what inspired it. Prior to "American Idol" Cowell was an A&R guy in Britain, who was nothing like this animated, cutting character we now see on TV.
2010 "American Idol" contestant General Larry Platt's "Pants on the Ground":
1996 Green Brothers song "Back Pockets On The Floor":
Today, a new "American Idol" scandal erupted, regarding this year's latest craze by contestant, General Larry Platt and his so-called song "Pants on the Ground."
It turns out "American Idol" and Larry Platt stole the song from a Detroit, Michigan duo called The Green Brothers, who released a song in 1996 titled "Back Pockets on the Floor." That's 14 years prior to "American Idol" and it's rip-off "Pants on the Ground."
Even the song titles sound alike and mean the same thing "Pants on the Ground" and "Pockets on the Floor." The words "Ground" and "Floor" basically mean the same thing. Not to mention the artist names "The General Larry Platt" and "The Green Brothers" led by Gerald Green. You can make the word "Green" out of the word "General."
Furthermore, isn't it odd and sinister how terrible actor, Simon Cowell, proclaimed during General Larry Platt's performance, "I have a horrible feeling that song could be a hit." Tell the truth Simon, you did your usual, disgraceful, illegal practice of scouring the internet and record stores for songs to steal.
What's eerie is how much the Green Brothers' lead singer, G. Green, looks like General Larry Platt and they are about the same age as well. There's a strong resemblance there. In writing this article, I thought one was the other. And no, I do not think "All black people look alike" as the insulting racial phrase implies, as I too am black.

Considering "American Idol" has been busted numerous times rigging their show's results and stealing music for the subsequent CDs by artists who win on the show, such as Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, I believe the two Simons heard the preexisting Green Brothers track, liked it and decided to get a look alike, General Larry Platt, to come to the show and sing a plagiarized version of it, with the hope of making it hit.
Even Platt is complaining that "American Idol" has made merchandising items using the song and he hasn't gotten his financial cut. The whole thing looks like a set up.
"American Idol" also infringes the copyrights of well known hits. For example, the 2009 American Idol song by David Cook titled "Time Of My Life" bears similarities to the 1980's song "Time Of My Life" from the movie "Dirty Dancing."
The 2009 song "Battlefield" by "American Idol" Jordan Sparks is a rip-off of Pat Benetar's 1980's track "Love is a Battlefield." Parts of Sparks' 2009 song even sounds like the 1980's hit "Girlfriend" by Pebbles.
The 2009 song "Live Like We're Dying" by the current "American Idol" winner Chris Allen is a rip-off of the1994 Tim McGraw country hit "Live Like You Were Dying."
Everything about "American Idol" is fake and stolen. Wake up world, you've been had.
'Pants on the Ground' -- A Rip-Off?!
Posted Jan 27th 2010 8:10AM - "General" Larry Platt isn't the first person to sing about crooked hats and droopy pants -- and now a Michigan hip-hop duo is saying "Pants on the Ground" is a "take off" of a song they recorded back in 1996.
Pockets on the Floor: Click to watch The Green Brothers -- a rap group consisting of an elderly Platt-alike gentleman -- re-posted the music video for their song "Back Pockets on the Floor" this week -- and you're gonna be shocked at the similarity.
The group claims their lift-up-your-pants jam has "the same intent, idea and in part the same message" as the "American Idol" wannabeen's...
Detroit-area Brothers Record 'Back Pockets on the Floor'
Recorded in '96, the message is similar to 'Pants' - Updated: Tuesday, 26 Jan 2010, 9:09 AM EST - American Idol may have launched the "Pants on the Ground" craze, but the message looks likes it's been around for awhile.
Highland Park's Green Brothers wrote FOX 2 to inform us of their 1996 recording "Back Pockets on the Floor." The brothers tell us the song has the same intent, idea and message of the General Larry Platt's 'Pants' version.
Gerald Green says they wish Platt well, but want the world to hear and see their version of the song.
