Supreme Court Throws Out Walmart Sex Bias Lawsuit

    As the Judiciary Report expected, the U.S. Supreme Court, has thrown out a sexual discrimination lawsuit against retailer Walmart, brought by its female employees, who are struggling to make the same promotions and pay as male counterparts.

    As published here three months ago (Walmart Sex Discrimination Lawsuit At Unsympathetic Supreme Court), the Judiciary Report did not like Justice Scalia’s sarcastic and unsympathetic comments about the case, leading the site to believe, he was going to spearhead the charge to shoot down the legal petition.

    This week it was announced, the lawsuit has been thrown out. Scalia is once again, defying the purpose of having checks and balances in a nation, when he sways court cases among the justices and even installed a president, as he did with Bush in 2000 (look it up, he is credited with pushing the other members of the court to rule the presidency belonged to Bush, not Gore).

    Once again, the Judiciary Report’s statements regarding the Supreme Court and Federal Courts, routinely siding against everyday people, many of whom have been terribly victimized, in favor of large corporations, has been proven correct.

    It’s a pity, because if the Supreme Court and Federal Courts as a whole, had shown some integrity and backbone over the past few years, the 2008 financial crisis would not have unfolded as it did, having been halted in the court system. Instead, what the nation and the world saw, was the aforementioned courts waving through outrageous and egregious conduct by wealthy criminals robbing and defrauding the public.

    There is well-documented evidence illustrating that a number of credible cases went through the courts, alleging serious financial misconduct by Wall Street corporations and ponzi schemers, such as Madoff and Stanford, but were corruptly thrown out, in favor of rich criminals that lined their bank accounts, at the expense of the middle class and lower income people.

    However, they did this to their own detriment, because when financial calamity strikes a nation, the court system inevitably suffers as well, due to loss revenues and after a while, diminished importance, lighter case loads and layoffs. When people lose faith in the court system, they also turn to alternative legal services to arbitrate their grievances.

"The Lion King" Is A Complete Rip-Off

    1990's "The Lion King" (left) and 1960's "Kimba the White Lion" (right)

    According to two websites, Disney's hit film "The Lion King" is a major rip-off of a preexisting 1960's Japanese cartoon entitled "Kimba the White Lion."

    The similarities include, but are not limited to:

    • Both films are about lions

    • In the 1990's "The Lion King" a lead character is named "Simba" while in the 1960's "Kimba the White Lion" a lead character is named "Kimba" - only one letter is different in the name

    • In the 1990's "The Lion King" the lions were originally white albinos, but changed at the last minute, most likely a vain attempt at hiding the infringements.

    • Both films have, "A wise monkey character, hyenas as comic-relief villains, a dead father who appears to his son in the clouds, and an older relative (an aunt in "Kimba" and an uncle in "Lion King") who serves as the main antagonist."

    • "The cartoons were so similar that when Matthew Broderick was hired to be the voice of Simba he had assumed he was playing Kimba in a theatrical interpretation of 'Kimba the White Lion'."

    Disney is currently immersed in scandals, suicides and financial stress, contradicting its claim of being, "The happiest place on Earth." The company has morality issues, which have landed it in court many times for stealing preexisting copyrighted works and using them for films such as "Nemo" "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Princess Diaries 2" to name a few. Other problems include criminal negligence at Disney Theme parks that resulted in the deaths of a number of visitors.

    Hollywood is a town built on criminal copyright infringement, which is expressly forbidden by U.S. law and international legal treaties that America is subject to, as apart of the Berne Convention.

    However, it does not stop Hollywood from ripping off copyrights, then buying off some U.S. judges with stocks, favors and funds, to get away with this abhorrent criminal misconduct, frowned upon in the world.

    The FBI has deliberately failed in this area for years, in violation of their Congressional mandate, seeing copyright infringement by Hollywood as a corrupt way to put money in the Treasury, ill-gotten funds into stars' pockets and underserved awards on their shelves. What a disgraceful, dishonest farce.

    However, it enters even more terrible territory, when religious copyrighted works are pilfered, profaned and secularized by Hollywood, in bids at criminally gaining undue revenue, in deeds that misuse profits meant to go towards producing cures to cancer and AIDS. The government has placed stars too stupid to write their own work, ahead of dying disease sufferers.

    Such conduct produces God's disfavor, not His blessing. It's no mystery why Hollywood has been plagued with an unprecedented, unexplained string of woes, troubles and tragedies.

    The FBI still believes thievery, such as Hollywood's chronic copyright infringement of numerous writers' works, the Madoff and Stanford cases and many others like it the Federal Bureau of Investigation have looked the other way to for years, is the way to build an economy.

    The FBI clearly has not learned from the 2008 financial crisis that was a wake-up call, which means it is destined to happen again and to greater degrees, for harboring such thievery and fraud, deteriorating the progress of hardworking Americans in the corporate sector actually doing work.

    What's the sense of having hardworking Americans productively contributing to the economy each day, while allowing one segment of the corporate sector to run loose with thievery and financial fraud, eating away at the nation's collective progress, via the deterioration of valuable assets - not to mention, destroying the nation's name in the business world.

    Disney's The Lion King is a total ripoff of "Kimba the White Lion", a Japanese cartoon.

    The plot also closely follows Shakespeare's "Hamlet"

    "Kimba the White Lion" was a Japanese manga (comic book) from the 1950s that became a cartoon show (anime) in the 1960s. In addition to having a similarly-named protagonist ("Kimba" as opposed to "Simba") the "Kimba" cartoon and "The Lion King" feature extremely similar characters: a wise monkey character, hyenas as comic-relief villains, a dead father who appears to his son in the clouds, and an older relative (an aunt in "Kimba" and an uncle in "Lion King") who serves as the main antagonist.

    Early screenshots from preproduction work on "The Lion King" show that Simba was intended to be an albino, just like Kimba. The cartoons were so similar that when Matthew Broderick was hired to be the voice of Simba he had assumed he was playing Kimba in a theatrical interpretation of "Kimba the White Lion".

    Ironically, Osamu Tezuka,the creator of "Kimba" and the popular series "Astroboy", drew from Walt Disney's early work as inspiration for his own artistic style, and he even received permission from Walt Disney to make a manga adaptation of Disney's "Bambi".

    The Lion King also shares some plot details with Hamlet. Both Simba and Hamlet are on a quest to avenge their fathers and take back their kingdoms. Both had their uncle kill their father and assume power. Both were visited by the ghosts of their fathers to inspire them to take revenge. Thankfully, the similarities don't extend to the end of the story, otherwise the Lion King would (spoiler alert!) end with Simba, Nala, Simba's mom, and Timon and Pumba all dying.

Ruth Madoff Kicked Out Of Penthouse

    Video: Feds Seize Madoff Penthouse, Wife Leaves - The Associated Press

    The lavish lifestyle, Ruth Madoff, the wife of ponzi schemer, Bernard Madoff, once enjoyed, is now over. She has been forced to vacate their $11,000,000 penthouse in New York, as it was seized by the federal government.

    She was allowed to keep $2,500,000, thanks to the deal he cut with the government, but if it is taxable, a good chunk of it will be gone.

    Ruth and Bernard Madoff

    I do not think it is right she was allowed to keep that much money, when many defrauded investors will not get that much back from the government. That is an injustice. She should also be behind bars, as she controlled Madoff's accounts during the ponzi scheme.

    It is my hope the federal government went over the assets of Madoff's children, their spouses and his grandchildren, for money that was illegally passed to them. They should not be allowed to keep those millions, especially his daughter in-law, who received a huge lump sum, divorcing Madoff's son, two days before Bernard turned himself in.

Open Defiance

    FBI Director Robert Mueller

    FBI Director Mueller was recently, aggressively questioned in Congress, regarding indiscriminately spying on mosques throughout America. He claimed he does not instruct FBI agents to spy on places, but people, which is an outright lie.

    The FBI routinely spies on and investigates businesses, organizations and associations all the time, staking out their properties as well. Often, one case leads to another and so on.

    What was rather stunning about the congressional hearing last week is his arrogant attitude, which constituted open defiance. He basically told Congress he is "going to continue" doing what he wants at the FBI.

    Congress told him one thing and he sat there, openly defiant, insisting that he shall do another. The D.O.J. tells him one thing and openly defiant, he continues to do another.

    It is clear he believes in his sick, twisted, racist mind that he is the President of the United States, when he is not. In fact, he is one of the, if not the, worst thing that has ever happened to this country, as the nation and world shall soon find out.

    His hatred of blacks, Asians, Muslims and immigrants, that is driving him, is going to destroy him, as he is being sued and denounced at an alarming rate. But he can continue (sarcasm). There's coming a time when no Mueller (his family) will be accepted anywhere in this world, when the full extent of his criminal misconduct becomes public knowledge.

    Amazingly, he often closes his speeches with the words "God bless." However, what does God have to do with a man that has caused so much damage to the cause of Christ, with his openly corrupt, cruel, caustic and contemptible deeds that has harmed many. A man that indulged in financial misappropriation regarding taxpayer money , bribery and severe criminal negligence that resulted in the deaths of many.

    What was the sense of corruptly looking the other way to the known criminal conduct of the Madoffs, Stanfords and Madonnas, criminally stealing billions in other people's assets and devaluing them with their incompetence, only for the U.S. economy to collapse, fall into the ground, in an unprecedented manner, because you allowed criminals to continue breaking the law for years.

    Mueller patronizing Congress

    The worst part is, you don't have the money to restore all that has been criminally lost. Compared to the aforementioned assets that have been devalued, you are as broke as a joke and with so little class and integrity, you constantly misused a $20 million taxpayer bought private jet, meant for anti-terrorism emergencies, so you could fly around in luxury and style to deliver social speeches.

    I was told by an informed source, you acted out of misplaced nationalism, believing covering these terrible financial crimes, would help and protect America's name in the world.

    Let me ask you a question, did you not think ahead to the time when the financial schemes and shams would fall apart, rendering the fraud bare. Did it not cross your crooked mind that billions of dollars in people's assets, that could not be replaced under U.S. insurance guidelines, were being devalued as you sat idly by, year after year, knowing crimes were taking place...or did you just not care.

    You have to be insane to act as you did, in thinking it brings prestige to America, to cover the crimes of rich and famous people, whilst the U.S. economy pancaked in ruins, due to the fraud.

    There are citizens of countries all over the world that misbehave all the time. This is nothing new. The key is for government to nip the corruption in the bud, minimizing the damage. However, when a nation's main law enforcement agency is seen deliberately looking the other way to serious financial crimes, it destroys consumer confidence domestically and around the globe...and that is what you have done at the FBI.

    People all over the world know there are criminals in their countries, as no nation is perfect. However, when they see individuals in government, such as yourself assisting them, via looking the other way, then they write said government off as well...and that is what you have done at the FBI.

    What you did is the equivalent of watching a small front yard fire envelope an entire house, when you could have extinguished it with minimal damage done.

    Another question I'd like to ask is, when you give corrupt, illegal instructions to FBI agents, does it cross your depraved mind that these agents could get into very serious legal trouble, requiring them to hire defense attorneys to fight off criminal charges, imprisonment and massive asset forfeitures. Then again, some of these agents can't tell right from wrong anymore under your leadership, increasing their chances of imprisonment.
