WHORES: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment [Hardcover]

Larry Klayman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 15, 2009

Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch founder, Larry Klayman describes his efforts to stem abuses in the judiciary and executive branches of our government. He details his legal battles with President and First Lady Bill and Hillary Clinton (Chinagate and Filegate), Vice President Dick Cheney (secret energy commission meetings), and the Bush administration over illegal wiretapping of American citizens. His portraits of the likes of Janet Reno, Fred Thompson, Arlen Spector, Judge Denny Chin (who recently presided over the Madoff trial) and other Clinton insiders Klayman considers unethical, and who have come back to power in the Obama administration, reveal not always flattering sides of their well-cultivated images. Klayman also has choice words to say about media figures such as Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Paula Zahn, and he accuses media mogul Rupert Murdoch of sandbagging the original publication of WHORES by HarperCollins because of the book's negative portrait of Roger Ailes and Fox News. Above all, WHORES is an impassioned plea for reform of our judicial system with a number of provocative suggestions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The unethical and sordid histories of today's politicians, November 3, 2009

Author Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch, writes an autobiographical account of his war to promote ethical behavior in politicians. Klayman gave up Judicial Watch when he ran for Senator in Florida some years ago and is trying to get it back as well as running his new organization "Freedom Watch". This book chronicles his early life and legal battles with crooked politicians and others from both parties.

I don't know of anyone else who has sued both the Clintons and the Dick Cheney besides Klayman. Klayman is generally conservative but not really a party Republican. And his positions are up-to-the-minute accurate with the current revolt among the rank and file Republicans to overthrow the corrupt neo-cons and liberals that have taken over their party. So this book is as current as possible and has just barely been published.

Because the big publishing companies that are now foreign owned and controlled have an interest in preserving the status quo, this book is not getting the press it ought to.

Yes, Larry Klayman sued his own mother - to keep his neglected grandmother alive.

But as I read this book about some incredible villains, I kept track of the names of the people who Klayman proved, many times in a court of law, to be unethical traitors. Sit down. Take a deep breath.

Page 58 details how Leon Pannetta, a Clinton official, personally obstructed justice illegally in the Ron Brown (Clinton Secretary of Commerce) matters. Leon Pannetta is now the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Hillary Clinton personally tells Secretary Ron Brown to sell seats on the trade mission to China, breaking multiple laws and committing high treason on page 59. First lady Hillary Clinton became a Senator from New York and is currently Secretary of State.

Page 59 details charges from Ron Brown's mistress that both Clintons basically ordered a "hit" on Ron Brown. Secretary Ron Brown, the supposed victim of a plane crash, was found to have a bullet hole in his head by not just one, but three doctors but they were ordered not to investigate or perform an autopsy.

Melissa Moss who destroyed the Ron Brown papers sought by Klayman in his Freedom of Information requests is now an investment adviser hob-nobbing with the likes of Jonathan Silverman, Henry Waxman and John Dingell in an article from October 15 of this year. Guess crime does pay.

Pages 59 and 62 detail some of the claims against Harold Ickes including treason and obstructing justice. Harold Ickes is currently Oil Czar in the Obama administration.

On page 61 a Justice department official blackmails a witness. That official, Eric Holder, is now Attorney Gnereral of the United States of America.

Page 68 has Johnny Chung accusing President Bill Clinton of causing Ron Brown's death.

Page 77 has Georgew Stephenopouls lying under oath. Page 78 has James Carville sanctioned by a court for lying. Page 88 tells of 2 sitting members of the House of Representatives Barney Frank and Rep. Gunderson, both homosexuals, blackmailing Gingrich with their knowledge of Gingrich's affair with a staffer.

There are plenty of unethical and traitorous Republicans in the book also, but since they are out of power right now I haven't detailed them.

Anyway, I could go on and on. And where is the outrage? Why isn't Klayman on the Sunday morning political shows? Where is the New York TImes and the Washington Post?

Yes traitors and scum control our government and both parties. No, there is nothing you can do about it except try your best to support people like Klayman and vote in some ethical people to replace the crooks that are in charge. It will be a long and hard fight, but it must be done if we wish to have any country left at all for our children and grand-children. And thank you Larry Klayman for writing it all down and documenting it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, thought-provoking, and highly recommended political reading, December 11, 2009

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: WHORES: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment (Hardcover)

Some people simply choose not to mince words. "Whores: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment" is the rants and raves of Larry Klayman as he reflects on how he became to be the judicial watdog he is. Attacking everyone from Sean Hannity to Bill Clinton, Larry Klayman pulls no punches in his plainly stated hatred of how our system is and what needs to be done to change it. "Whores" is fascinating, thought-provoking, and highly recommended political reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Larry Klayman - The One Man TEA Party, July 31, 2010

Long before there was a TEA Party, Glenn Beck 912 movement, 13 Patriots and thousands of others, there was Larry Klayman. Larry believes it is more important to be virtuous than be liked.

Larry believes there is an ultimate right and wrong.

Some of you many not know Larry Klayman but you should. If you believe in the Constitution of the United States and that the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of our federal government are corrupt to the core then you need to read Larry's book, WHORES: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment.

If you see our courts legislating from the bench rather than enforcing the law as in Arizona then you will love Larry Klayman. If you love politics and want to understand what really happens behind the scenes get his book. I just finished reading WHORES and could not put it down. It is a mosaic of both the man and his struggles against an out of control government bent on aggrandizing itself at the expense of the people and the law. It is about corruption on the part of both parties writ large. I found it particularly interesting because of Larry's insights into Florida politics. You see Larry ran for the very same U.S. Senate seat Marco Rubio is seeking. Larry ran against, among others, Bill McCollum and Mel Martinez. If you want to learn more about Florida politics and political insiders, read this book.

Larry is the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch USA. Freedom Watch USA " is the only group that speaks through actions, rather than just words." When reading his book I found it a fascinating personal and professional journey that reflects the work of a real patriot. Larry has won my patriot award for being a thorn in the side of Iran, Hugo Chavez, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Not a bad record if I say so myself.

I really felt a symbiotic relationship with Larry as I read his story. When you speak truth to power you are always attacked. The progressive model is identify the target, marginalize it and then demonize it. That is the cross that Larry, TEA Party members and others who are like minded bear today.

Larry was fighting the establishment since the early 1990s and he continues to do so even today with the filing of a lawsuit against Elena Kagan, President Obama's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.

According to the [...] column, Papers prepped to disbar Elena Kagan:

[Larry Klayman] One of Washington, D.C.'s most feared and fearless corruption watchers has told WND he intends to file an ethics complaint to have Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan disbarred from practicing before the court she aspires to join - and possibly subjected to criminal prosecution - for her role in an escalating controversy over partial-birth abortion.

As WND reported, dozens of pro-life organizations are already asking the Senate to investigate Kagan's 1997 amendment to an American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists report, which was then used by the Supreme Court as justification for overturning Nebraska's partial-birth abortion ban in 2000.

In her confirmation hearings, Kagan defended the amendment, saying, "My only dealings with (the College) were about talking with them about how to ensure that their statement expressed their views."

Several analyses have concluded, however, that Kagan's amendment dramatically changed the meaning of the organization statement, and court records show the statement was passed off on the Supreme Court as official scientific opinion, even though the organization's panel of scientists never approved Kagan's wording.

Klayman told WND he believes Kagan's behind-the-scenes work constitutes "conspiracy to defraud the Supreme Court," and he intends to take the evidence that has been compiled by the pro-life groups to file a complaint before the clerk's office of the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking to have Kagan disbarred as a practicing lawyer in front of the Supreme Court.

So the battle goes on for Larry, you and me. I hope you will read Larry's book and make it a point to learn more about the great work he is doing to stop corruption in our courts, at the White House and in Congress. Larry has been a one man TEA Party, now it is time for us to join with him as we together fight in the same cause - a grass roots revolution to save the Republic.
