Senator Sanders tells Obama: Don’t let Republicans blackmail you again
Posted on 06.27.11
By Eric W. Dolan
“At a time when the richest people and the largest corporations in our country are doing phenomenally well, and, in many cases, have never had it so good, while the middle class is disappearing and poverty is increasing, it is absolutely imperative that a deficit reduction package not include the disastrous cuts in programs for working families, the elderly, the sick, the children and the poor that the Republicans in Congress, dominated by the extreme right wing, are demanding,” Sanders said on the Senate floor Monday.
“Instead of yielding to the incessant, extreme Republican demands, as the President did during last December’s tax cut agreement and this year’s spending negotiations, the President has got to get out of the beltway and rally the American people who already believe that deficit reduction must be about shared sacrifice.”
“Republicans in Washington have never believed in Medicare, Medicaid, federal assistance in education, or providing any direct government assistance to those in need,” he added. “They have always believed that tax breaks for the wealthy and the powerful would somehow miraculously trickle down to every American, despite all history and evidence to the contrary. So, in that sense, it is not strange at all that they would use the deficit crisis we are now in as an opportunity to balance the budget on the backs of working families, the elderly, the sick, the children and the poor, and work to dismantle every single successful government program that was ever created.”

A few young Germans have the world's biggest record companies at their knees. After hacking into the computers of famous recording artists and their managers, they have placed unreleased songs by the likes of Lady Gaga and Shakira on the Internet. Two have been caught, but the others are still at work.

Two articles criticizing the blackmail campaign of Copyright troll John Steele are now hidden from the public:
1)Attn: Porn Fans. You can help stop Copyright Troll John Steele's "blackmail" campaign by canceling memberships and boycotting products from his clients(Cached version available on Google. Unfortunately, it is missing multiple updates and most of the comments. Back-up to be re-uploaded once I figure out a safe place to put it)
2)No dissent or protests allowed on Current? Article calling for a boycott of a Copyright Troll's(John Steele) Clients suddenly placed under review
Strange thing is, I can't shake the feeling that Mr. Steele's presence in the comment sections had something to do with the articles disappearing.
Not going to type any more in this article, since it will probably be under review and hidden soon.
Time to find somewhere that won't suppress citizen journalism.....
However, I still doubt that this is Current's fault. For whatever reason, I can envision people who stand to lose millions if Mr. Steele's campaign falls through furiously clicking the flag article and/or flag comment button until the articles disappear.
Can't say for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case
Part of the reason I don't think it's current is the fact that the articles are under review but my account remains active. To have two articles suppressed back to back without being banned seems odd
BTW, if anyone thinks I am being paranoid please consider the fact that the current expected profit from all of Mr. Steele's publicly announced lawsuits is at least $21 million. That minimum assumes he gets a 100% settlement rate. If people fight him...well just have to wait and see what happens
I should also mention that the deadline for a settlement for several hundred of Mr. Steele's blackmail targets(Amateur Allure targets) is 4pm tomorrow afternoon. Maybe that has something to do with the articles disappearing...maybe not
[Three fun facts about Hard Drive Productions Inc(the owners of the Amateur Allure site(based on public records and their own website):
1)The company's $3 million lawsuit over the alleged downloading of a single file is supposedly going to compensate the entire staff of the site for damages they "suffered". The total number of employees for the company: 3. That's a cool million per staff member
2) The site pays most its models a couple thousand per scene, if that. So the model in the video who did all the work probably got paid less than the sum that is being demanded from each John Doe in the lawsuit.
3) The company complains about declining sales but acknowledges on its site that there are over 90,000 other adult sites to choose from instead of theirs
That's the kind of people involved]Two articles criticizing the blackmail campaign of Copyright troll John Steele are now... more

(No pic from the web because John would probably try to find the copyright owner and sue me)
The article discusses the porn copyright lawsuits that are being filed by John Steele of wefightpiracy .com Steele | Hansmeier PLLC. Mr. Steele is best known for his 1-800-DIVORCE ads and family law firm in Chicago. What I find interesting about the article is how it mentions that Steele and his partner spent $250,000 developing software to track illegal Bittorrent activity. He also assures people in the article that his software appears to be flawless as it has never had a false positive so far. I guess that this is just the digital age, but I find it strange how an attorney is being allowed to sue people based on data coming from software that he needs to work so he can get a return on his investment. Seems like a conflict of interest. Or rather, a blatant violation of due process. Mr. Steele does not charge for his services, which means he needs the software he paid to make to consistently produce evidence that will result in a payday. The accuracy of the evidence is irrelevant, since he and his employees maintain exclusive control over it.
The "evidence" he sends to people is a printout which lists one's IP address and ISP. The same evidence is what was placed into a spreadsheet and submitted to ISPs to get the mailing addresses of subscribers. One's IP address and ISP name is publicly available information, so the evidence he submitted is half verifiable and half potentially made up. I contacted him and requested the name of his software and explanation of how it works. He said he is not required to prove anything to anyone. I have a feeling he is using proprietary software so he can try to toss out trade secret arguments in hopes of avoiding an investigation into his spreadsheet producing software.
An IP address can be manipulated and/or hijacked but he does not want to explain whether or not his software takes that into consideration. Alot of bad software can end up on a person's computer when searching the web, especially free porn sites. So what we have is a guy using his custom unproven software to sue people for $3,000 or more dollars for allegedly downloading a single porn film. I'm not sure how he justifies that price, especially since a person could sign up for pay sites that offer full access to 1000s of videos for usually about $1 per day. I realize that porn studios are struggling, but suing people for choosing to watch your video over the plethora of free porn on the internet is no way to attract customers. If someone rips an entire site, that could justify the fine. However, if a person happens to come across one of your films, watches it, and then decides that the chance to get hundreds more videos just like it for $20 a month....you have a new customer. A ten second clip will never win a person over. (You might be losing members, but that is probably because a lot of people are struggling and a porn membership simply is not as important as the electric bill or food or water or rent.) Or, you can go with John Steele who can generate a list of IP addresses who he can demand thousands of dollars from. He said his software has never been wrong. Trust him, he's a lawyer
http://www.koreaherald.com/lifestyle/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20101124000596
An individual disputing Mr. Steele's claim that his software has never had a false positive.(The use of flawless in the title should not be considered a direct quote.). He/she states that his mother is being falsely accused. In the above article, Mr. Steele even tries to joke about the possibility of a false positive: "“All you have to do is sue a priest who’s never owned a computer and this is a major PR problem,” he said. (the link to the article is directly above this so don't try to sue me John):
http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/es6uw/my_mom_got_a_letter_from_an_attorney_today_about/
I would think that if the reddit article information is accurate, then threatening someone into paying you $3000 in order to make "evidence" from software you claim is flawless in terms of producing the desired result(guilty every time....I mean it always catches actual criminals[sarcasm in case someone needs clarification])(why pay $250k for it if it wasn't? You would lose money that way) disappear would mean you are committing blackmail. Of course, lawyers have their own rules sometimes.....
(One last important point I forgot to point out:
"
Steele said the porn industry is trying to avoid the highly publicized mistakes the music industry trade group, the Recording Industry Association of America, known as RIAA, made in its fight against piracy. Among other things, he said his firm’s software has so far had no “false positives” like those that gave the recording industry black eyes."[In my opinion, what he probably really means is that everyone has cracked under his threats so far.]
-from the fully cited KoreaHerald article
Take note of the fact that the article states that the RIAA's methods utilized for searching for pirates occasionally resulted in false accusations. The RIAA spent $58 million going after pirates and only made 2% back(http://gizmodo.com/#!5587306/the-riaa-spent-58-million-suing-file-sharers-got-2-back)
Mr. Steele and his partner spent about $250k in developing the software that is the basis for their evidence. They must have quite the programming team to be able to make flawless software for .004% of the cost of the RIAA's lengthy campaign)
I should point out that Mr. Steele's settlement letters tend to start out with "our agents noticed illegal activity on an IP address associated with you(not exact quote since there might be a copyright on the letter)." Our agents is the equivalent of saying our employees. People he pays to find evidence for him, have apparently never made a mistake so far. Mr. Steele even includes an assumption of guilt towards the bottom: "While it is too late to undo the illegal file sharing associated with your IP address, we have prepared an offer to enable our client to allow both parties to avoid the expense of a lawsuit."
Basically, we have a lawyer who is saying you are guilty because my employees say you are, so pay me or else
In the comment section below are some links and information about the tactics of Mr. Steele and other attorneys engaged in mass letter "blackmail" campaigns. Before anyone decides to settle, I recommend reading some of it. Unfortunately, there are lawyers looking for a quick pay day on both sides of many cases so informing oneself is often times the best route. The courts seem to be protecting Mr. Steele and his extremely questionable methods, so I sincerely suggest requesting a jury trial if you have the means. Despite Mr. Steele's client demanding one in one of his complaints, Mr. Steele would have quite the uphill battle arguing any of these cases based on merit
Lastly, it is worth mentioning that Mr. Steele files the exact same complaint every time. I just reviewed Lightspeed Media Corporation v. Does and the wording and formatting is identical to Hard Drive Productions v. Does. He uses a form settlement letter and a form complaint, and then tries to pretend like he isn't just fishing for cas h

A mistrial has been declared in the Bahamas in the case of two people accused of blackmailing Hollywood actor John Travolta over his son's death.
Pleasant Bridgewater and Tarino Lightbourne are accused of trying to extort $25m (£15m) from the star.
A retrial was ordered late on Wednesday after an MP declared publicly that Ms Bridgewater had been cleared while the jury was still deliberating.
The judge said she was concerned that there could have been jury misconduct.
This really is the last thing a person needs when they have lost someone close to them, it's beyond cruel to try and extort money from someone at such a time, but like I always say people will do anything for money, it's the scurge of our lives.A mistrial has been declared in the Bahamas in the case of two people accused of... more

By Erik Larson
Aug 8, 2009, Sibel Edmonds gave a sworn deposition in which she testified to her knowledge of treasonous crimes and corruption involving current and former members of Congress and State and Defense Dept. officials. Given the nature of the deposition, the lines of questioning focused on Turkish espionage and services obtained through bribery and blackmail by Turkish officials and proxies. However, Edmonds has previously disclosed that the corruption involving U.S. officials also includes money laundering, trafficking in drugs, arms and nuclear secrets, U.S. support for Bin Laden/Al Qaeda, and obstruction of FBI investigations related to 9/11, before and after the attacks; she said these things came up “briefly” during the deposition. Edmonds learned of these things from wiretaps she listened to while working as a translator for the FBI in 2001-2002.
Video coverage from VelvetRevolution.us and BradBlog.com
Edmonds' Aug 8 testimony was subpoenaed by David Krikorian (Democratic 2010 Congressional candidate- OH) to support his defense against a lawsuit brought by Jean Schmidt, R-OH. Krikorian had circulated a flier in his 2008 campaign in which he alleged that Schmidt had accepted “blood money” from Turkish interests in exchange for opposing a Congressional resolution acknowledging the Turkish genocide of Armenians in World War I. The deposition took place in Washington, DC at the headquarters of the National Whistleblower Center
After the deposition, Edmonds took questions, and spoke in general terms about the deposition subjects (video, 13:25):
Larson- “Were you able to talk about any of the stuff that you’ve said about 9/11 in the past- did any of that come up?”
Edmonds- “We talked very briefly on Central Asia angle and 9/11 and the Mujahideen and Al Qaeda…and the role played by certain Turkish entities, so we talked briefly about that, yes, but mainly on the corruption U.S. persons, even in relation to those activities…it came up briefly.”
Larson- “How about the stuff about nuclear trafficking, drug smuggling, arms trafficking?”
Edmonds- “Yes, it came up- not in detail- Mr. Grossman’s name came up and Brewster-Jennings- I believe this is gonna be for the first time under Oath, on the record, people getting answer on Brewster-Jennings and the real story- not the crap that they got from the media.”
It seems that while a great deal of new information came out in this deposition that will justify criminal investigations and widespread media coverage, Edmonds was witness to a great deal more that remains to be disclosed and properly investigated.
Former Attorney General John Ashcroft had invoked the State Secrets privilege in 2002 to quash Sibel Edmonds’ lawsuit against the DOJ for suppression of her Right to speak freely about the crimes and corruption she had witnessed. He invoked the State Secrets privilege again in 2004 to prevent her from testifying in a case brought by family members of 9/11 victims, classified her date of birth and also retroactively classified letters from Sens. Grassley and Leahy that had been public for nearly 2 years (this was later overturned, when POGO, who had published the letters, sued the DOJ). The DOJ attempted to dissuade Edmonds testifying this time as well, but did not re-invoke the State Secrets privilege and did not appear at the deposition.
No so-called “mainstream” print or broadcast media showed up to cover the deposition. Too bad for them, as Edmonds’ allegations reportedly include a juicy sex scandal involving a current Democratic Congresswoman- exactly the kind of thing the mainstream media loves to cover in depth ad nauseum. Given that these allegations intersect with allegations of treasonous activities by high-level figures in the Democrat and Republican establishment, it seems unlikely the corporate media will report on this, even when the video and transcript are made public.

Ensign’s parents paid $96,000 ‘gift’ to Hamptons; Coburn says Ensign mistress’ husband spreading ‘untruths’ and claims convos with Ensign were ‘privileged communications’
Conservative Republican Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) purportedly urged Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) to pay off a mistress with whom he admitted having an affair — and wouldn’t deny urging payments to the woman and her husband when asked about the charge.
Ensign admitted having an affair last month, saying he “violated the vows” of his marriage and adding, “It is the worst thing I have ever done in my life. If there was ever anything in my life that I could take back, this would be it.”
Apparently Oklahoma’s Republican senator urged just that.
The husband of Ensign’s mistress, Doug Hampton, told a newspaper columnist in a TV interview Wednesday that Coburn — and others — had urged Ensign to give the couple “millions of dollars” to pay off their mortgage and “walk away” from Las Vegas, Ensign’s hometown.
Hampton also said that Coburn had known about the affair for more than a year.
In response, Coburn’s office has confirmed he knew the affair had taken place, but vehemently denied that he advocated for any payoffs. He didn’t, however, deny outright that he’d urged Ensign to provide the couple with money.
“Dr. Coburn did everything he could to encourage Sen. Ensign to end his affair and to persuade Sen. Ensign to repair the damage he had caused to his own marriage and the Hampton’s marriage,” Coburn’s office said in a statement to the website Politico. “Had Sen. Ensign followed Dr. Coburn’s advice, this episode would have ended, and been made public, long ago.”
According to the report, Hampton and Coburn confronted Ensign in February 2008. An anonymous cited source says Coburn’s suggestion to pay the Hamptons, if true, was “an expression of restitution and not in any way ‘hush money.”
The Oklahoma Republican’s spokesman, John Hart, wouldn’t deny that Coburn spoke with Ensign about making payments, but “categorically denies” Hampton’s claim that he urged Ensign to pay millions.Ensign’s parents paid $96,000 ‘gift’ to Hamptons; Coburn says Ensign... more

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) acknowledged Tuesday that he had “violated the vows” of marriage by having an affair with a campaign staffer.
The admission — made in a televised appearance in Las Vegas — shocked Ensign’s Senate colleagues and delivered a serious blow to any hopes he might have had of seeking the GOP presidential nomination in 2012.
Political insiders in the Senate and in Nevada told POLITICO that Ensign began the affair with the staffer several months after he separated from his wife, Darlene. When Ensign reconciled with his wife, the sources said, he gave the aide a severance package, and the two parted ways.
Some time later, a Nevada source said, Ensign met with the husband of the woman involved and had what this source described as a positive encounter. Sources said that the man subsequently asked Ensign for a substantial sum of money — at which point Ensign decided to make the affair public.Sen.

Created as part of a settlement with Eric McKinley, a gay man from New Jersey, the Web site will provide services for users seeking same-sex partners by March 31, New Jersey Division on Civil Rights Director J. Frank Vespa-Papaleo said.
eHarmony, which was founded by Dr. Neil Clark Warren in 2000, said the settlement was triggered by a Law Against Discrimination complaint filed by McKinley against the online service on March 14, 2005. As part of the agreement, eHarmony will pay McKinley $5,000 and will provide him a one-year complimentary membership.
eHarmony — which was not found in violation of the law — also agreed to ensure that same-sex users will be matched using the same or equivalent technology used for its heterosexual clients. It will also post photographs of same-sex couples in its "Diversity" section of its Web site and in advertising materials.
"Even though we believed that the complaint resulted from an unfair characterization of our business, we ultimately decided it was best to settle this case," eHarmony legal counsel Theodore Olson said in a statement.

If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it. ~ Julius Caesar
In 2000, the long fought for and long admired democracy of the United States of America began a slow and steady decline toward fascism - a Bush family tradition - with the installment of a president - a man the citizens overwhelmingly rejected (although the funny math told a still believed myth) - by a few corrupt judges on the US Supreme Court. That coup is now nearly complete and checkmate is all but unavoidable.
Let me first point you to the Bush administration's so-called Wall Street bailout bill, here, so that you can see for yourself that this treachery is being conducted in the light of day. Fascism is finally and formally out of the right-wing closet even if the F word is not yet openly being used (although it should be, and often).
Now, if you do not yet understand that the Wall Street crisis is a man-made disaster done through intentional deregulation and corruption, I have a bridge in Alaska to sell to you (or Sara Palin does anyway). This manufactured crisis is now to be remedied, if the fiscal fascists get their way, with the total transfer of Congressional powers (the few that still remain) to the Executive Branch and the total transfer of public funds into corporate (via government as intermediary) hands.
Adam Davidson of NPR blogs about the so-called bailout bill as follows:
"I would guess that this has to be one of the biggest peacetime transfers of power from Congress to the Administration in history. (Anyone know?). Certainly one of the most concise.
"The Treasury Secretary can buy broadly defined assets, on any terms he wants, he can hire anyone he wants to do it and can appoint private sector companies as financial deputies of the US government. And he can write whatever regulation he thinks are needed."
Most importantly, Davidson points to this passage in the bill:
"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."
The Bush family, in the form of Prescott Bush, has tried a more aggressive coup before in order to install fascism in this country. This treasonous plot was called "the Business Plot," because the high-level plotters - including Prescott Bush - were Wall Street men who openly supported fascism.

A former Manchester City youth team goalkeeper has admitted blackmailing a top Premier League footballer over sexual images.
Goalkeeper Ashley Timms, 22, of Middleton, Greater Manchester, admitted a charge of making unwarranted demands with menaces. He admitted blackmailing the player, who cannot be named for legal reasons, between March 1 and April 3 this year. Judge Andrew Gilbart QC warned Timms that a prison sentence was inevitable. He had previously pleaded not guilty to demanding £15,000 from the player.
Judge Gilbart said: "This case carries inevitably a prison sentence, no doubt about it. "I am going to grant him bail but it must be on the clear understanding what the sentence will be." Manchester Crown Court heard how the blackmail victim, known only as Witness A, received a number of threats over the sexual images. David Friesner, prosecuting, said: "There was a long protracted series of text messages that culminated in the offence. "It is a series of messages followed by a series of threats."
The Manchester-born goalkeeper, who is currently without a club was bailed until 5 September for sentencing. He played with Manchester City's under-19 side and had spells at Shrewsbury Town and Accrington Stanley as well as a number of non-league clubs. He has also had trials at Norwich City, Bolton Wanderers, Fulham, Oldham and Macclesfield. He joined Cambridge City in January on non-contract terms but has since left.

Two weeks after Joshua Lipton was charged in a drunken driving crash that seriously injured a woman, the 20-year-old college junior attended a Halloween party dressed as a prisoner. Pictures from the party showed him in a black-and-white striped shirt and an orange jumpsuit labeled "Jail Bird."
In the age of the Internet, it might not be hard to guess what happened to those pictures: Someone posted them on the social networking site Facebook. And that offered remarkable evidence for Jay Sullivan, the prosecutor handling Lipton's drunken-driving case.
Sullivan used the pictures to paint Lipton as an unrepentant partier who lived it up while his victim recovered in the hospital. A judge agreed, calling the pictures depraved when sentencing Lipton to two years in prison.

Neither Honest Nor Trustworthy: The 10 Worst Corporations of 2007
by Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman
The U.S. public holds Big Business in shockingly low regard.
A November 2007 Harris poll found that less than 15 percent of the population believes each of the following industries to be "generally honest and trustworthy:" tobacco companies (3 percent); oil companies (3 percent); managed care companies such as HMOs (5 percent); health insurance companies (7 percent); telephone companies (10 percent); life insurance companies (10 percent); online retailers (10 percent); pharmaceutical and drug companies (11 percent); car manufacturers (11 percent); airlines (11 percent); packaged food companies (12 percent); electric and gas utilities (15 percent). Only 32 percent of adults said they trusted the best-rated industry about which Harris surveyed, supermarkets.
With the 10 Worst Corporations of 2007, we aim to show - again - that Big Business is out of control and to connect comparable abuses to the failure of government overseers, regulators and enforcers.
