The Government Does Not Want Me To Make My Movie

 

Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

I've been back in Miami for a bit to shoot scenes for my forthcoming film "Justice And Truth" on the phone hacking case that I broke first and the copyright and human rights angle of it, as seen in the Aisha v. FBI case. In short, the government does not want me to make the movie.

Three weeks into the project, 20 scenes done (about 10% of the film) and a U.S. Marshall interrupted shooting yesterday (a little too late though). It had to do with unobtrusive filming outside two courthouses in Miami and the U.S. attorney's office (the one that represented the FBI in the Aisha v. FBI case).

I told him flat out, about six weeks ago, I wrote a letter to the FBI/DOJ and sent a copy of said item along with a subpoena to the Miami U.S. attorney that represented them (in the Aisha v. FBI Freedom of information Act case) in forming them that I am about to start making the movie. I sent the aforementioned letter along with a subpoena, giving them the option of releasing the Freedom of Information files they've been hiding for several years in trying to cover up misconduct by criminals in Hollywood and Rupert Murdoch.

Therefore, I assumed unobtrusively filming places related to the case in a manner others have done for other films, would not be a problem, as neither the FBI or U.S. Attorney sent a response stating I could not (legally they couldn't anyway, as America is a free country). The U.S. Marshals are affiliated with the FBI.

When the stone-faced U.S. Marshall, who looked like an extra from the movie "Die Hard" approached my first thought was, "Uh oh Rodney King." He asked that the camera be turned off and started asking me questions about the filming, saying they are "upset" about it, whilst pointing to his badge/tag. I uncharacteristically started speaking slower than Mountain Main from "Duck Dynasty." It wasn't fear, but more trying to process the fact, scores of news teams and filmmakers have filmed the same old building many times and nothing came of it.

When talking slower than Mountain Main didn't work, as he kept asking about the film, I tried reverse psychology and told him "the building isn't pretty anyway, because it needs power washing." Surprisingly, he agreed with me, saying he was just telling someone today the building needs to be power washed, so I ran with it and said because of the economy "but you can't afford it, right" and he agreed.

Then he said he would "not review" what had been filmed, but it was clear someone was trying to send me a message via the interruption (the FBI and the U.S. attorney). But as I see it, the FBI, DOJ and Miami U.S. Attorney should stand behind and own up to the despicable things they did in the case that are now in the film script. Why try to hide it now - after being so cocky, arrogant and corrupt in court before a judge you own that worked for the FBI/DOJ - that millions around the world will see it on film. Like the Bible says, what you do in the dark will come to light.

You have a U.S. Attorney making racist statements in court papers claiming the Civil Rights Act did not give black people equal rights in America, as criminal justification for obstruction of justice and dereliction of duty (the FBI's congressional mandate) in an offensive bid at getting out of a case and the fact you violated the aforementioned historic legislation.

Own up to it on film as well. Better yet, the U.S. Attorney should send me her photo to put in the movie so the world can connect her racist words with her vile face. If you are going to be cocky, racist and nasty in court papers, while violating the Freedom of Information Act and Civil Rights Act as well as your oath of office, own it on film too for the whole world to see. Curiously, I've found everyone else's picture in the case but hers, to put in the film.

In closing, in a document bearing a time stamp of November 7, 2012, the day after the presidential election, in response to the subpoena and letter I sent the FBI weeks prior, they responded by sending me a letter and a privacy release form to and return to them, in order to receive the Freedom of Information Act files. But don't hold your breath they will finally come clean and tell the truth about Madonna, Murdoch or anything else in the case. I expect redacted documents and stonewalling, which as seen in Congress, is the FBI's way.

Either way, it doesn't matter, as I am giving them one last chance to do the right thing, BUT I have enough digital and physical evidence from private sources to clearly illustrate in the film what happened, who did what and when...including the subsequent cover-up by the FBI/DOJ and those affiliated with them in government.

Hollywood Greed

Why is Hollywood always so desperate for money, so much so, they are willing to break the law and damage innocent people in the process. A prime example of this is Joseph Medawar, who was featured on the program "American Greed" this week. The so-called Hollywood producer, paid a U.S. senator, Dana Rohrabacher, $23,000 for a 30-year-old screenplay, which granted him unfettered access to political circles in Washington, including crooked George W. Bush, who he took a photo with.

Medawar erected a website with a trailer, for a yet to be filmed show entitled "Department of Homeland Security" and used it to solicit money from investors. He then fleeced a California church congregation, requesting money from them as investments in his company, hinging on the yet to be released television series, backed by Washington and Hollywood, which is never a good combination. Hollywood and Washington together are crooks leading the crooks.

Medawar played on the church's patriotism, charity and Christianity (much like Bush deceitfully did during his presidency) and fleeced them out of $3,000,000. Church members took out second mortgages on their homes, while others gave out of their hard earned life savings, as they believed Medawar and his claims of a positive return on their investments, which would also allegedly be helping the country. Medawar even went so far as to release false financial reports to church investors, claiming the filmed show and company was now worth $200,000,000, when neither were worth the paper the statement was printed on.

It was all lies. Medawar never filmed one single episode and the trailer posted on his website to lure investors, contained stolen, copyrighted infringing footage, he pilfered from others and pieced together, then added graphics over, with the title "Department Of Homeland Security" to customize it (he must be related to Madonna).

Churchgoers lost their lifesavings and homes. Medawar was arrested, but due to his political connections, received 1 year in prison, which amounted to even less time served and has not repaid a single dime, racking up $5,000,000 in losses. He squandered investors' money on lavish trips, living in a $40,000 per month Beverly Hills mansion he leased and shopping on Rodeo Drive for expensive clothes and jewelry.

Once again, the government, via the FBI, DOJ and Congress, failed the American people, as anyone that engaged in such damaging crimes against the public, should have served at least 20-years in prison and be forced to make financial restitution.

The ironic part is, with the $5,000,000 he stole from investors, he could have filmed the show and it could have been successful. However, Medawar, did not have the talent, ability or know how to write, prudently film, hire actors at a reasonable fees and shop the show. It's always the ones without the creative talent doing the stealing.

Karl Rove Exposed For Firings

Karl Rove, the man nicknamed "Bush's Brain" has been exposed as the source behind the firings of several U.S. attorneys, the White House deemed uncooperative with former President George W. Bush's agenda.

It led to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who as a lawyer, should have known better than to go along with everything presented to him, without questioning the implications down the road, of choices that were being made.

Bush's presidency ended in such a decimated state, replete with sweeping failures, world history shall never forget. It was an appropriate ending to his tyrannical rule, full of treachery and deceit that brought the nation and the world so much misery and loss in the end.
