Specifically they will be charged with violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act., which make it a Federal crime for ‘...certain classes of persons and entities to make payments to foreign government officials to assist in obtaining or retaining business.’ our Canberra sources stated, quoting contacts at the US Justice Department. <br /><br />Reuters reports that, News Corp. could be fined $2 million and banned from all future contracts with the US government. Persons found guilty face a $100,000 fine and a five year prison sentence.</span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12073941-8076728464952242944?l=benniespiedel.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bennie Spiedelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01400307515439382857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073941.post-39213280483749356922012-01-31T13:21:00.000-08:002012-01-31T13:39:12.465-08:00<div style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In support of&nbsp;</span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Golshifteh Farahani ...</span></div><div style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Because it matters to&nbsp;</span></span></div><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">the whole world </span></span><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="233" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oFJ9IChKF90" width="400"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Thank you to the Creatives in Paris at the </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cesar Academy</span></span><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12073941-3921328048374935692?l=benniespiedel.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bennie Spiedelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01400307515439382857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073941.post-74511807368223546032012-01-27T13:18:00.000-08:002012-01-27T13:22:35.968-08:00<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Happy Hour</span></span></b><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">by Johnny Ngo&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A Monterey Park Short Film</span><br /><br /><b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Tea house drama</span></b><br /><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"Writer and Alhambra resident Johnny Ngo spends a lot of time at tea shops.

Despite jingoistic slogans such as "Fair and Balanced", they seem to pull stuff out of thin air, without regard to reality.<br /><br />It was with great interest that one of my sources in Canberra Australia sent me a piece from the Weekly Times, in Melbourne, a Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. publication. It was a very interesting piece about the evolution of the global the economic space over the last few years. After our group took a look at this we decided by Saturday afternoon it was a very interesting piece of satirical comedy, with a great connection to reality and obviously written by a brilliant creative writer. This left us rather confused, where the hell did News Corp. get the ability to write with such fresh and brilliant creative approach.<br /><br />The writer of this piece can hold their own next to people like Jon Stuart, Tina Fey, Barry Crimmins, Clifford Tasner and be easily be hired for the crew on Saturday Night Live.&nbsp;</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Yesterday we received information from the source in Canberra that solved our dilemma, Murdoch's group doesn't write most of the stuff, they sweep it up with phone tapping. This presented another challenge, with News Corp's little phone tapping enterprise, they must operate globally, and rival the NSA’s capability. <br /><br />A quick phone call to an old colleague, who is the senior communications expert at a world-class, Menlo Park think tank, provided the answer. His opinion was from first-hand knowledge, is that News Corp. hired four young computer whiz kids to make their job easier. They retained high school seniors from Palo Alto high school, who had a reputation of being computer science geniuses. In rather short order they created a back door into AT&amp;T's room 641A at 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco.<br /><br />So what's in room 641A? Well the room is filled with rack after rack of Narus STA 6400 standalone traffic analyzers, which collect real-time customer communications. What did News Corp. get? The same ability that AT&amp;T’s customer, the NSA has, the ability to vacuum up anybody's phone communication and deliver it as both a voice recording and a text transcript.<br /><br />That brings us to another interesting event that happened yesterday, Kim Dotcom appeared in an Auckland, New Zealand courtroom and declared, "I am not a pirate". For some months now the FBI has had a Tiger Team working in New Zealand with police officials to bring down Kim Dotcom’s global criminal empire. Our Canberra sources informed us this morning that the FBI Tiger team has now moved on to Melbourne to assist the Victorian police in cracking Murdoch's global wire tapping empire... check back the Benny's blog and see this story unfold in the next few weeks.<br /><br />What we have is an unknown Australian writer who should call Jon Stewart first thing today.&nbsp; <br /><br /><b>... and here now is the news…</b><br /><br />In light of today’s global financial woes, the World Bank has published these handy definitions of common economic structures.<br /><br /><b>SOCIALISM</b></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>&nbsp; </b>You have two cows.

Richard Moore quotes Jeffers<br />directly in voice over as a preface to the film:<br />"This place is the noblest thing I have ever seen.<br />No imaginable / Human presence here could do<br />anything / but dilute the lonely self-watchful<br />passion." Includes extended views of: Mt. Shasta;<br />coastal and marine wildlife; the logging industry;<br />Mendocino; Sacramento; San Francisco; Monterey;<br />Big Sur; Salinas Valley; surfing; skateboarding;<br />Malibu and Los Angeles.
