[Article background: this is another in the series of phone hacking articles the Judiciary Report has published, regarding a scandal I broke first in October 2005, via a police complaint I filed with the Metropolitan Police in London, England. 60 people have been arrested by the Metropolitan Police since the time I filed the complaint. However, the Murdochs and other key conspirators remain free and the FBI has not arrested anyone, though the crimes began and continue in News Corp's New York headquarters]

According to the Arizona Daily Star, U.S. President Barack Obama and Congress both, "fail on goal of transparency" and due to this unconstitutional misconduct, "the American public is bound to be the big loser." Indeed. The massive power grab undertaken by the Obama Administration and the president's subordinates at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has led to horrible human rights abuses in America. 

Citizens are being illegally searched, harassed, bullied, intimidated, threatened with death and in some cases even tortured by Obama's FBI and its parent agency, the DOJ, in very unsavory and corrupt conduct that constitutes criminal violations of the Constitution and U.S. Code. 

The Obama Administration's human rights record is appalling and has destroyed many innocent people's lives, for simply and lawfully having different political and personal beliefs than the President and peacefully exercising one's right to free speech in expressing said views. The Obama Administration has even unlawfully utilized the IRS to harass and disrupt the financial lives of people that publicly and lawfully do not share his views.  

The Arizona Daily Star goes on to state, "President Obama came to office vowing to improve transparency and advocate openness. He hasn't. As the Washington Post reported recently, by some measures there is more, not less, secrecy in Washington since he took over. Media organizations requesting data under the Freedom of Information Act were less likely to receive material last year than in 2010 at 10 of the 15 Cabinet-level departments. The government was more likely last year than in 2010 to claim exemptions to reject disclosures. What's worse is the Obama administration's war against whistle-blowers." 

I've found this to be one hundred percent true. President Obama's Administration has hidden a record number of incriminating government files, to cover up criminal conduct, the public is entitled to view under the Freedom of Information Act. Just know, when the government refuses to release a file, its contents are very bad and illegal, hence the cover up. The Arizona Daily Star described such FOIA files as concealing government, "Incompetence, embarrassing information, even unlawful behavior."

In 2009, as a last resort, I sued the FBI and DOJ under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), due to the fact that for 3-years they criminally refused in writing to release FOIA government files they stated in writing exist regarding me and Hollywood's criminal copyright infringement of my intellectual property, as well as Hollywood's unlawfully phone hacking (Madonna and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp), wiretapping (Anthony Pellicano) and computer hacking exploits against me, confirmed in writing by independent specialists I hired (From The Anthony Pellicano Wiretap Scandal To The News Corp Phone Hacking Case Hollywood Is Out Of Control). 

The federal judge in the case, Jose E. Martinez, was a former DOJ employee and through him they completely corrupted the case. Martinez ruled in favor of the FBI and DOJ criminally stating they have "sovereign immunity" regarding their criminal negligence and corrupt conduct and the FOIA files were not to be released. You can't get any worse in the area of lack of transparency than that. The Obama Administration does not deserve to be in office.   

Oh, but the inappropriate government conduct didn't stop there. In the time I've been in London these past few months, the U.S. government has sent non-British people up to me asking me "Are you going to vote for Obama" and "When are you coming back to America." I thought, that's inappropriate asking a stranger such personal questions.

Even in U.S. Customs in Washington, D.C. when I boarded a flight to London in April, all the other American citizens in the line before me, weren't really asked anything other than how many bags they are checking in. When I reached the top of the line to board the plane to London the U.S. Customs agent took my American passport, looked at my ticket, then looked at me and said "Ah Ms. Goodison, the question is when are you coming back." No one's ever asked me that in customs and everyone I told about it said the same thing, "That's strange." Indeed.

The Arizona Daily Star stated of Congress' shameful role and complicity in this strain of illegal government secrecy, "Congress should stop trying to one-up the administration in its zeal to promote secrecy. Surely it has better things to do." Apparently, not.

At the end of the day, Congress is supposed to provide checks and balances, but have fallen in line with the corruption taking place in the Obama Administration and to America's detriment. A time is coming when the entire charade is going to be exposed and questions will be publicly and formally asked by global governments, world citizens and the American public and those in office who fail to answer correctly will be voted out in shame, with some government workers headed to prison. You've gone too far.
