The Film 'Scarface' Shows What The Drug Trade Is All About

Scarface

I saw the 1983 film "Scarface" again on AMC last week (the edited, clean version). The movie, filmed in Miami, Florida and Santa Barbara, California, chronicled what was transpiring in Miami at the time during the violent drug trade. The lead character in the film "Tony Montana" was an immigrant to Miami, who wanted to become rich very fast and saw selling cocaine as the answer to his poverty problems.

"Scarface" is often glorified by rappers, who completely miss the message of the film, which is to avoid the drug trade. Director Brian DePalma and writer/director Oliver Stone showed the dangerous, depraved, paranoid and unhappy life that goes with being a drug dealer. However, rappers quote sayings from the film putting a positive spin on what is a very negative and harmful lifestyle.

  

Only actress Lindsay Lohan snorts more cocaine than Scarface

Rappers promote the drug trade via music, rapping positively about what is destructive behavior. This negatively influences impressionable audiences, who quickly want the homes, cars, jewelry, clothes and women, then get into the drug trade trying to live like rappers (many of whom are just pretending for the cameras, living on credit and rented luxury items). 

The terrible consequences of drug dealing is far more real than what rappers are showing you. Miami had quite a few Tony Montanas running around in the 190s, who wreaked havoc on the city. They bought up luxury homes, cars, jewelry and designer clothes. Some drug dealers were buying several homes and businesses in cash to launder the money. Their was so much money laundering going on in Miami from the drug trade the federal government had to make new rules for how much money one can deposit without it being flagged and sent to the government for inspection ($5,000). If you buy a house or car cash, the sale is sent to the government for inspection to verify it did not come from the drug trade or any other illegal sources. 

While the drug trade did not personally touch my life, I know someone who was profoundly affected by it. When I moved to Miami in the 1980s as a kid, the drug trade was in full swing. I didn't fully understand it, as I was a child, I just knew it was something negative from what I was told and watched on the news with my mom. 

At the time my mom's friend's daughter was dating a man a few had assumed to be a drug dealer shifting cocaine. He bought a house, a Porsche and BMW. He wore a massive gold rope chain and designer clothes. A young man with no job in possession of said assets and no explanation as to how he acquired them, will draw attention. He got my mom's friend's daughter pregnant. They were both in their early twenties and living in luxury from the drug trade. However, she and her mom were told his money came from his dad's business. It wasn't until the police arrested him and all the material possessions were taken away that it came home to everyone he was a cocaine dealer. He was sentenced to many years in prison and missed his daughter growing up. 

As the saying goes, drug dealers end up dead or in jail, if they refuse to leave the drug trade. Some were caught early by police as small time hustlers and gave up on the trade, not realizing it saved their lives and futures. Some leave the trade when something terribly violent happens. I saw an interview with a former drug dealer, who stated the very expensive watch he was wearing, saved his life. A rival drug dealer opened fire on his vehicle, but the bullet hit the watch, damaging his hand that was covering his chest, but did not go through to his heart. He gave his life to God after that and became a pastor.

A few years of living in luxury is not worth one's life or a long stretch in jail. Leave the drug trade alone. If you're not in it, don't get in it. If you're in it, get out now. Turn your life around and do something honest with it.

Diddy Being Silent On Government Claims He Has Sex With Underage Boys Gives A Certain Impression

...That It's True!

Diddy

This is a follow up to the Judiciary Report articles Music Manager Arrested For Cocaine Trafficking (May 21, 2011) and Diddy Accused Of Having Sex With Underage Boys In Government Investigation (October 17, 2013) regarding James Rosemond.

 

James Rosemond

Last week sensational allegations emerged from the James Rosemond criminal case revealing the government is investigating bisexual rapper and music mogul Diddy for having sex with underage boys. These claims have circulated in the industry from the 1990s when Diddy took a then 15-year-old Usher under his wing, as a upcoming singer and began sleeping in the same bed at night as the minor. Diddy also took the impressionable underage star in the making to sexual orgies, which is a crime in America.

Rosemond being perp walked by the Feds after his arrest

The Rosemond story regarding Diddy exploded on the blogosphere last week and one would think with such serious allegations the rapper/mogul would have responded, but he has not said a word. Someone accuses you of molesting boys and you don’t defend yourself. That does not look good.

James Rosemond

Rosemond, also known as "Jimmy The Henchman"is a government informant facing life in prison for cocaine trafficking and murder for hire. Prior to his arrest, Rosemond ran music management company Czar Entertainment, but what he wasn’t telling the public is it was "Czar" as in drug czar, shifting large quantities of cocaine all over America, bails covered in mustard and sent through the mail.

Tupac Skaur

Rosemond was also behind the shooting ambush shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur at a New York recording studio, for which The Notorious B.I.G. was wrongly blamed (leading to the East Coast/West Coast feud and the death of both rappers).

The Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy, who was then known as Puffy and Puff Daddy

Rosemond was a friend and colleague of Diddy among others, knowing the inner workings of their lives and businesses. It’s safe to say Rosemond saw a lot of unsavory things and snitched. This is another example of what happens when hardened criminals enter the music and film industries, bringing illegal street tactics to the boardroom. It ceases to be about entertainment and becomes organized crime.

Side Bar: You know what's ironic about Tupac and B.I.G.'s murders, the FBI knew all along people were plotting to kill them both and that the threats were completely credible, but let it happen anyway, deeming both men a problem. The FBI had both men under 24-hour surveillance at the time of their murders. The FBI surveillance agents even went to the hospitals as both men lay dying.

The Feds disliked Tupac for his black power roots with the "Black Panthers" something the federal government never wants to see rise in America again and they hate his family for their involvement in it (his mom, aunt and family friends).

Biggy was also a problem for the Feds having been mixed up in the crack cocaine drug trade and the government wondering if he had truly left it behind, but then getting spooled in with the Genovese mafia, who launders money through the music and film industries, which angered the federal government. When both men died there were no tears at the FBI. It was more good riddance.

Justin Bieber Tried To Go Down Stairs Butt First As Scandal Brews

 

18-year-old pop star, Justin Bieber, decided to go down a flight of stairs butt first, during a concert performance in his native Canada, featuring cougar, Carly Rae Jepsen, whom he has a thing for and has gotten close to, in spite of having a girlfriend, Selena Gomez (that little pimp). However, Bieber's slide down the stairs booty first, was accidental, as he rushed towards the main stage.

In the meantime, a scandal has been brewing regarding Bieber's handlers, manager Scooter Braun and mentor, singer Usher Raymond. They are being accused of gouging Bieber's fans with inflated, rip-off ticket prices. Allegations have also been made that they are scalping their own tickets, which is illegal. Parents of Bieber's fans are paying the price for this dishonesty.

   

Justin Bieber

Braun and Usher have also been engaging in criminal copyright infringement, copyright infringement, money laundering, IRS fraud, bank fraud, corporate fraud and corporate theft, via illegally accessing protected data for unauthorized use, in their dealings regarding the pop star's career and others in their stable. Songwriters and producers have openly complained in the industry of Bieber's team stealing their music or buying it and giving the teen singer writer's credit for their preexisting works.

Despite his 27,000,000 "followers" on Twitter, with half the number said to be comprised of users that are not real, Bieber has been experiencing noticeable sales decline. If Bieber truly had 28,000,000 followers, his sales would be in the tens of millions per CD and single released. However, it is no so. To compensate for this fact, journalists have been writing that Bieber's team orchestrated the alleged laptop theft for publicity, to drum up sales interest in the singer. Thus far it has not worked, as sales are still down.

Justin Bieber and Usher

Recently, music manager and television personality, Sharon Osbourne, stated she likes Bieber, but does not think his career will last. Sadly, due to the corrupt, greedy team he has around him, his career is already fading fast. An artist should be careful about assuming they will have longevity.

As a musicologist, I've seen many artists come and go. The most striking of all the teen star collapses had to be the New Kids On The Block, who at the height of their teen fan driven fame went from selling 20,000,000 copies of one CD (far more than Bieber) to total music flop in one month, with the release of a failed follow up.

Lawsuit States Lady GaGa Stole Charity Money Raised For Japanese Tsunami Victims

Lady GaGa

Outrageous singer and Kabbalah member, Lady Gaga, is being accused of taking a page out of mentor Madonna's book, by stealing charity money meant to help the poor and distressed (Madonna is under criminal investigation by the IRS and FBI for this misconduct in conjunction with her mentally ill cult Kabbalah). Lady Gaga has been slapped with a $5,000,000 RICO (racketeering) lawsuit for stealing money raised for victims of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan, killing thousands.

Lady GaGa has been selling "We pray for Japan" bracelets, publicly stating the proceeds will go to charity, but she has inflated the shipping costs on each item to $3.99, to mail out an item that normally costs $1.00 per parcel to post. She is accused of pocketing the extra money from inflating the shipping costs, as well as hiding how much money the $5.00 bracelets have made and not delivering the proceeds to the people of Japan. How disgusting.

By her own admission, Lady Gaga is a spendthrift, whose extravagant taste and wild spending, made her bankrupt a year ago, despite selling records and going on tour. She simply spent too much money and it caused her finances to collapse.

It was announced this summer, Lady GaGa is in the market for a luxury $10,000,000 home in Bel Air - the most expensive neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. I wonder where she will get the money from, considering she has wasted what she made and her new album has failed to generate any real profits, having been sold for 99 cent per unit, to ensure a #1 on the Billboard charts, then bottoming out after week one.

Madonna And Kabbalah Close Their Corrupt Charity Due To Criminal Investigation

Madonna

According to reports coming out of California, the insane Kabbalah Center, which is a cult, is closing its charity, after becoming the subject of a highly publicized federal probe, by the IRS and the FBI. They are only closing shop in America. Therefore, other nations they have been operating out of, such as Britain, need to open criminal probes as well to shut those fraudsters down. The schizophrenic cult, whose members have murdered people in cold blood, caused an international incident this year, involving the impoverished nation of Malawi in Africa.

After using the country's name to raise tens of millions of dollars, Kabbalah and its thieving frontwoman Madonna, pocketed most of the money, rather than giving it to the people of Malawi. Madwoman Madonna, running her vile mouth, told the world she is opening a school for girls in Malawi, in attempts at mimicking the widespread publicity talk show host Oprah Winfrey received for doing so.

However, it was a complete scam on Madonna's part, as years went by, millions were spent and not even one permit was pulled to build the school, after the phony groundbreaking the weird, crazy singer staged for publicity. What is most infuriating about Madonna's self-serving, publicity seeking conduct is, she bulldozed an entire village of poor people's homes with no compensation given to them, vowing to build this school and years later nothing. She is so evil. She has a sick obsession with fraudulently putting people out of their homes (see: Florida Foreclosure Law Firms Under Investigation).

Malawi is a struggling nation, where significant segments of the population are infirmed and hungry, due to poverty. They grow small amounts of vegetables in their back gardens to sell and survive. Yet this wicked woman and her sick cult, went out there for publicity and money, using poor people's suffering as a charity cash cow.

For years on this website, I kept warning the government of Malawi to have nothing to do with Madonna and Kabbalah, as they are thieves, liars and violent criminals. What's almost as bad is the FBI has known all along what that terrible cult have been up to and allowed them to inflict so much damage on a small nation struggling with poverty.

Music Manager Arrested For Cocaine Trafficking

Jimmy Henchman (left) and rapper Wyclef Jean (right)

Another case of life imitating art has surfaced in the arrest and conviction of famed music manager, Jimmy Henchman, real name James Rosemond, who was indicted on massive cocaine charges. Henchman has represented music stars such as Brandy, Akon, Game, Gucci Mane and Shyne, to name a few.

It is alleged Henchman used his management company and recording studio, to traffic large quantities of narcotics in and around America, then distributed the cash proceeds, via an elaborate scheme involving Fedex and rented mail boxes. Money was shipped through the mail, vacuum sealed and coated in mustard, to throw off dogs that sniff mail packages. Henchman's arrest is said to be part of a larger drug probe into rap music.

The entertainment industry is no stranger to entertainers being involved with organized crime. The late Notorious B.I.G. was a drug dealer, who got involved with the Genovese mafia, as confirmed by FBI reports. Former Sony CEO, Tommy Mottola, who was married to singer Mariah Carey, after she broke up his 20-year marriage, bragged of his mafia ties in Vanity Fair.

Rapper 50 Cent was also a drug dealer. Rapper, Jay-Z, another drug dealer, continues to boasts about his debauched life in profane songs. Lastly, pop singer Madonna, has financial ties to the mafia, even dated a member of it as well. In closing, many people in the entertainment industry are always looking to make a fast buck, which often entails breaking the law. What a horrible example to set.

Details Emerge In Jimmy Henchman’s Cocaine Indictment; Mogul To Be Sentenced Next Month

May 17, 2011 - Details are emerging in the federal cocaine conspiracy case against music mogul James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond, who is accused of distributing drugs along with several co-defendants. Rosemond is accused of being involved in a drug organization that regularly shipped cocaine in via overnight delivery services and later, road cases used for holding equipment, to recording studios in New York.

Millions of proceeds in cash was then sent back to Los Angeles, using Federal Express and other overnight delivery services as well. The proceeds were then sent back to various mailboxes on the West coast, coated in mustard and vacuum sealed, in order to throw off drug sniffing dogs looking for illegal currency...

Cocaine Probe Targets Rap Music Figures

MAY 17--The Drug Enforcement Administration probe that has ensnared a well-known rap music manager is focusing on the shipment of kilos of cocaine from Los Angeles to New York by a narcotics ring that stashed the drug in “road cases” delivered to recording studios, The Smoking Gun has learned.

Payment for the cocaine was sent back to the West Coast in vacuum-sealed packages that were coated with mustard, the pungent smell of which was intended to conceal from drug-sniffing dogs the scent of narcotics on the currency. To date, the ongoing investigation--which is being overseen by prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn--has resulted in felony charges against about six defendants, several of whom are connected to the rap music industry...

The Sopranos

Hollywood and its component, the music industry, are known for having their financial feet in mafia coffers, as they have funded a number of tinseltown and record label projects. As a result, over the years, they have and continue to, glamorize the violent, brutal and unethical lifestyle of the mafia, as though it is something to be proud of, when it is not. Hollywood and the music industry have done this at the expense of impressionable teens and kids, which deserves the strongest rebuke and denunciation.

Shows such as the "Sopranos" and movies like "Scarface" "Goodfellas" and the forthcoming "Gotti" biopic, glorify violence, hate, misogyny, promiscuous sex and thievery. A number of music albums have done the same. Youth, whose minds are like sponges, take in this so-called entertainment and attempt to emulate it to their detriment. However, it is not cool when they get killed or arrested for trying to behave like a criminal character on television or wax.

Newsweek Outs Madonna As The Criminal Behind Kabbalah

...Who Is Trying To Pin The Blame On Other People

Mad-onna (you can just see the evil emanating from that woman's face - look at that scowl)

Newsweek has done an exposed on thieving Madonna and her criminal activity in the Kabbalah cult, revealing she and the Berg family have fleeced many people out of tens of millions of dollars. The magazine exposes Madonna's shady, greedy, illegal behavior and her disgusting attempts to publicly pin the blame on others, over the criminal fraud she commissioned and executed in the dangerous cult she fronts for cash.

And make no mistake, Madonna has illegally made many millions in cash off the scam that is Kabbalah, which illegally enjoys a "not for profit" status, meaning they pay no taxes anywhere in the world. She could care less about Malawi, the impoverished African nation she has been using to raise money, then pocketing the cash for herself and cronies in her crazy circle.

The Berg family stated they took an oath of poverty, yet all live for free in multi-million dollar Beverly Hills mansions and their bills are paid for by Kabbalah - these expenses include, "Food, furniture, clothing, gas, nannies, tutors, gardeners, housekeepers, personal assistants, and more exotic indulgences such as luxury cars, first-class flights, and spas." Who are they really kidding. That is not an oath of poverty.

The magazine reveals the fact Madonna's corrupt Kabbalah charity that she personally runs, has a multi-million dollar bank account in the Cayman Islands, a banking locale people often use, due to its secrecy laws. This is highly unusual behavior for a charity of any kind, as such organizations are required to be transparent, not stash away stolen money abroad.

It's amazing that once again the Clintons' names have surfaced in connection with Madonna's, as seen in the current Newsweek article, as she has hired the same questionable legal, investigative and public relations people they have employed, while engaging in misconduct. Madonna is a friend of Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who support Kabbalah and have used their political connections to help the criminal cult.

President Barack Obama, Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton and Former President, Bill Clinton

The Clintons and Madonna also have another dubious distinction in common - they've both heavily used the now incarcerated private investigator, Anthony Pellicano, who went to prison for illegal wiretapping, harassment and identity theft on behalf of rich and famous people. Since his incarceration, both Madonna and the Clintons have moved on to other private investigators to do their dirty work.

Many of the Clintons' and Madonna's surveillance victims, have openly complained of unlawful, strong-arm tactics being used against them, such as commissioned illegal wiretapping, stalking, harassment by hired thugs, death threats and burglaries to their properties, where illegal surveillance equipment was installed in their homes and sensitive files stolen.

Old habits die hard. This perverse insidiousness recently landed Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, into trouble, when whistleblower website, Wikileaks, exposed the extraordinary and sickening spying she criminally initiated against members of the United Nations (United Nations: Hillary Clinton Broke The Law) and duly elected world leaders, such as Argentina's President Cristina Kirchner (Hillary Clinton Wanted Illegal Access To Cristina Kirchner's Medical Records).

Clinton began a plan to illegal collect their DNA, credit card numbers, passwords, bank account data, family information and phone conversations, all via commissioned stalking, hacking, wiretapping and invasion of privacy. These are things she'd commissioned private investigators to do to others when her husband was in office and when she was a Senator, then ran for President. Once again, old habits die hard.

In lieu of being fired, Clinton has promised to never seek public office again. If you ask me, she should be in prison. That set seems to have a corruption problem when it comes to privacy and money, as several of Hillary Clinton's campaign people and donors were indicted for financial fraud.

Then they hire spin doctors to try and convince the public their victims are crazy liars. However, if you keep getting busted red handed, engaging in the same perverse privacy and financial crimes over and over again, guess who's the nut - that's right - it's you. Because normal, civilized, decent human beings do not behave in such a dreadful, disgusting, depraved and despicable manner.

Duvaliers Stole From $20,000,000 Fund To Build Hospital In Haiti

Michele Bennett and Jean Claude Duvalier

It has been revealed, Former Haitian President, Jean-Claude Duvalier and his ex-wife, Michele Bennett, stole money from a $20,000,000 charitable gift, the Canadian government gave to the people of Haiti to build a hospital. Montreal has been home to Haitian immigrants for decades and the donation was an expression of kindness in light of this fact. However, driven by greed, the Duvaliers raided the fund for their own personal use, buying themselves many luxury items, such as designer clothes, jewelry, sports cars and expensive foreign homes.

It makes the Judiciary Report angry to read such accounts and reinforces the site's view, both Duvalier and Bennett, should be prosecuted and forced to forfeit every dime and worldly possession. So many Haitians fled their homeland under the Duvaliers' oppressive, murderous rule and had to start new lives in other nations. Justice must be served regarding the atrocities committed against Haiti's dead at home and departed Diaspora.

Jean-Claude Duvalier's Ex-Wife Stole $94 Million From Haiti

Michele Bennett and Jean Claude Duvalier

According to the Miami Herald, Michele Bennett, the ex-wife of former Haitian President, Jean-Claude Duvalier, stole $94,000,000 from the nation of Haiti's treasury. Yes, you read that right - $94,000,000. This chick must be related to Madoff.

Bennett and her sons living the high life in France

The report was featured in the January 26, 2011 edition of the paper, in the article "For Haiti, no payback after Duvalier's reign." It was revealed, lawyers traced the massive sum back to her, after it was transferred from the nation's coffers and illegally so. The paper stated, "Over time, money traced back to Duvalier's ex-wife, Michele Bennett, totaled more than $94 million, according to an affidavit signed by former Haitian Justice Minister Francois St. Fleur."

Bennett and Duvalier's son living it up in France

The Duvaliers fled to France in exile, under a popular uprising, after 16 years of oppressing and robbing the people of Haiti. Not long after, Bennett divorced Duvalier and was given a large settlement, which she has used to live a very luxurious lifestyle, while her countrymen suffer in poverty and illness. That is infuriating. An additional $400,000,000 is missing from Haiti's treasury thanks to the Duvaliers.

Michele Bennett

Once again, as stated in the January 21, 2011 article "Jean-Claude Duvalier Apologizes To Haiti" it is the Judiciary Report's position, Bennett should be prosecuted and extradited, with all her assets and that of her children with Duvalier, seized and repatriated to the people of Haiti. Bennett was not born into wealth and her first marriage was to a policeman. Therefore, where did this $94,000,000 transferred to her come from (rhetorical). That money could do a lot of good in Haiti.

Jean-Claude Duvalier Returned To Haiti For The Money

Jean-Claude Duvalier

A recent report on a South Florida television station indicated, former Haitian President, Jean-Claude Duvalier, returned to Haiti from exile in France, to control earthquake aid money pouring into the island from the international community. The broadcast on NBC 6 in Miami stated, Duvalier seeks to take charge of the funds, as opposed to allowing former U.S. President, Bill Clinton, to manage the financial relief effort.

Other newspaper reports stated Duvalier also seeks to claim $7,100,000 in Swiss funds he stashed abroad that were later frozen by the government in Europe. A new Swiss law that goes into effect on February 1, 2011, will enable the government of Switzerland to return the money to Haiti on a humanitarian basis, which is the right thing to do, as the stolen funds belong to the people of Haiti, not Duvalier.

It is said Duvalier believed returning to Haiti before the law takes effect, would give him the opportunity to illustrate to Switzerland, his homeland saw no wrongdoing in his past brutal conduct and it is okay to unfreeze and turn over the funds to him.

However, the Haitian government promptly arrested Duvalier within 48 hours of landing in Haiti and have correctly charged him with crimes against humanity, corruption and theft of national funds.

As stated previously, Duvalier and his family cost the people of Haiti $500,000,000 in wealth that was stolen from the nation's coffers to bankroll a very lavish lifestyle and squandered on frivolities.

Yes, the Haitian people should forgive him, but Duvalier has shown through past conduct that he cannot be trusted with the nation's money. It is better to form a well-rounded, respected committee, consisting of financially astute members and outside auditors, to disburse the aid funds to the projects and areas most needed.

Former President of Haiti, Jean-Claude Duvalier, apologized to the people of his homeland today, for years of oppressive and bloody rule, which left 60,000 dead. $500,000,000 was stolen from the Haitian Treasury as well, damaging the island's financial structure.

After years of exile, living in France, Duvalier arrived in Haiti this week and was promptly arrested for crimes against humanity, corruption and theft. Duvalier states he intends to clear his name. However, it should be noted, lawyers retained by the government of Haiti on the island and in South Florida, have volumes of evidence indicating criminal wrongdoing.

Jean-Claude Duvalier and wife Michele Bennett in the 1980s

The Judiciary Report has wondered for some time, why Duvalier's ex-wife, Michele Bennett, who actively participated in criminal misconduct along side her husband, has not been arrested and all her ill-gotten assets seized. The millions Bennett spent on homes, cars, jewels and clothes, in addition to the massive sum still in her possession from the divorce, came straight from Haiti's treasury.

This is not her money and she is sitting on criminally acquired assets that belong to the people of Haiti. Bennett should have been prosecuted. After all, it was said she would famously take part in cabinet meetings and chastise government ministers. Irrespective of that, she was paid money in a divorce settlement that was not her husband's to give.

The former First Lady of Tunisia, Leila Ben Ali, whose family, headed up by President Zine Al Abidine Ben Ali, was chucked out of power in a violent uprising, has fled the nation with over 1,5000 pounds of gold bricks worth $50,000,000.

She pulled a Saddam, as Hussein, his family and mistresses, fled power in Iraq, with suitcases of gold bricks. Ali should be extradited. Every brick and bit of currency in her possession should be seized and repatriated to the people of Tunisia's treasury.

This story is disgraceful (and no, not just my grammar). For Ali to so brazenly make off with millions in her nation's wealth, especially during a financial crisis, testifies to the state of her heart and lack of empathy for her people. This is unadulterated greed.

Zimbabwe's First Lady, Grace Mugabe, has been spending copious sums of money from the national treasury, while the people of her nation suffer in poverty and pain. Her husband, Robert Mugabe, has allowed her to loot the nation's coffers.

Grace and Robert Mugabe. She was his married secretary, then became his mistress, then wife.

She has built lavish palaces, each worth tens of millions of dollars, while her countrymen go hungry and some homeless. Grace Mugabe has repeatedly spent six figures on lavish shopping trips in Europe and Hong Kong, so much so, she was specifically named in international sanctions levied against her husband, due to this habit.

At the end of the day, this is not public service, but thievery. When one takes far more from one's nation than one gives, one is a spendthrift not fit for office. There's no way to pretty it up. One cannot claim to love one's country and demand it underwrite a lavish lifestyle at the expense of the poor. To know the plight of one's destitute countrymen and live like one is rich, by using State funds, with the attitude money is no object, speaks to the poorness of one's heart.

Duvalier Cost The People Of Haiti $500 Million

Jean-Claude Duvalier was arrested in Haiti this week for human rights abuses and corruption

Former Haitian President, Jean-Claude Duvalier and his family, cost the people of Haiti, an estimated $500,000,000 in stolen and misappropriated funds. The pillaging took place during his father François' tenure and his own. Had this money been properly invested, it would have reaped many millions more for Haiti's poor.

Duvalier and his family hid money abroad, purchased expensive sports cars, designer clothes, Louis Vuitton luggage, a chateau in France and an apartment in Paris. These unjustifiable expenditures infuriated Haitians at home and abroad, as they witnessed as their loved ones went without.

During a time of national financial struggle, Duvalier's wedding to Michele Bennet cost Haiti's taxpayers $3,000,000. A multi-million dollar home in Haiti was also given to Bennet's family to live in luxury as well (it was later seized by a new government and turned into an orphanage).

Currently, Haiti is considered the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere and it is not the Haitian people's fault. The earthquake is not the main reason either. Haiti, a nation of 10,000,000 people, should not be in this financial predicament and it is squarely due to the Duvalier years in office.

Haitian people worked hard, paid their taxes and it was squandered by the Duvaliers. Money that was needed to create jobs, expand infrastructure and build on social programs, went to bankrolling one family's lifestyle that almost rivaled Marie Antoinette and Saddam Hussein in extravagance.

None of the Haitians I know in Miami have ever spoken well of the Duvalier family. The mere mention of the Duvalier name brings back painful memories of tumultuous times in their beloved nation's history.

However, Haiti is at a crossroads. Like many nations, it has experienced a terrible natural disaster. It is time to rebuild on a new foundation and forgive old grievances, to help national emotional wounds heal. If Duvalier wants to help Haiti, as he has stated, he should give the nation his financial support and leave the governance to the next elected President.

Dick Cheney To Be Charged For $180M In Nigerian Bribes

Dick Cheney

Former U.S. Vice President, Dick Cheney, is scheduled to be charged for issuing $180,000,000 in bribe money to Nigerian officials, during his time at Halliburton. Well, that ought to give him another heart attack.

Nigeria’s anti-corruption unit EFCC (The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) has stated it is going forward with the charges. Considering the wars in the Middle East have largely been fought for the benefit of Halliburton (oil and rebuilding contracts), Cheney deserves to be charged for his global misconduct on their behalf and as a scheming shareholder.

Wasteful $2 Million Per Job Under Obama Employment Plan

U.S. President Barack Obama And First Lady Michelle Obama

The Obama Administration's job creation plan is going from bad to worse. An article this past weekend revealed, one of Obama's job creation plans, cost taxpayers $2,000,000 per job created, for average work that would never command such a high salary.

Once again, as the Judiciary Report has maintained from the beginning, money is being stolen and embezzled. The entire fiasco is growing more revoltingly with each month that goes by. Who is in charge of this madness and do they own a calculator.

No wonder the deficit is shooting up higher than the space shuttle. The waste and misappropriation of taxpayer funds is infuriating and the government is not thinking of the long term consequences of this financial fraud and poor planning.

Not one to criticize without a plan and being very versed in politics, the Judiciary Report published a job creation plan, before the first dime was even spent by the President. However, his administration went on to make a colossal mess, on top of the one Bush left behind and the U.S. economy continues to decline as a result of skyrocketing unemployment, which the site predicted years before it happened.

By the way, just in case you are wondering, the White House and many divisions of the U.S. government, read this website on a very regular basis, so it is not like they didn't see the warnings. But clearly, certain special interests and so called "powers that be" had to get an undeserved cut of the stimulus money, hence the ridiculous, wasteful figures. This misconduct has placed the nation at a great disadvantage in so many ways.

These $2 Million Jobs Would Look Like A Bargain If They Could Just Spend the Money Faster

Los Angeles: Home of the $5 Cup of Coffee, $2 Million Job

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.

FBI's Sentinel Computer System Scrapped As A Failure

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

After four years of warnings from this website and sister site, The Sound Off Column, the FBI's computer system has been label a failure and write off, when it should not have happened this way. The remaining phases of the ill-fated Sentinel system, like the one before it, is being scrapped by the government.

In 2006, the Sound Off Column, repeatedly warned frequent site visitor, the FBI/DOJ, through a series of articles, that stretching out a computer system's creation and implementation plan would not work and years later, that's exactly what's happened.

Once again, that's your tax dollars up in smoke. Not to mention, over $150,000,000 of the computer system money is unaccounted for, also known as stolen. But don't think that will stop the FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller, from going into Congress again, demanding many millions more in tax dollars, to misappropriate and squander again.

For those of you wondering why Mueller is not in prison yet - he is a modern day Hoover, with so much illegal dirt on members of Congress and the White House, they don't want to put their own freedom in jeopardy. However, with the madness he has done that illegally extended into other countries, Congress is going to be faced with some very difficult choices in the future on an international level. In short, contrary to what he thinks, he hasn't gotten away with a single thing.

Computer Calamity

July 16, 2010 - The FBI shuts down a major computer upgrade—and the FBI director's legacy might take a hit as a result.

The FBI has (again) put the brakes on a multi-million dollar plan to fix its creaky computer systems. This will come as little surprise to those who've followed the G-Men's epic quest, and failure, to keep up in the Information Age, replacing their out-of-date computers with a system that can help agents better track criminals and terrorists. But the recent development could have major political consequences...

Now, the fallout. For starters, the Obama administration's budget team has already flagged Sentinel as one of the most troubled, poorly performing tech projects in the government. At a time of record deficits, the public is in no mood for stories of wasteful government spending. President Obama has seen his poll numbers plummet as voter anger over enormous spending of all kinds rises...
