The unethical and sordid histories of today's politicians,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: WHORES: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment (Hardcover)
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.

Fascinating, thought-provoking, and highly recommended political reading,
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.

Larry Klayman - The One Man TEA Party,
By
This review is from: WHORES: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment (Hardcover)
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.

Credible? Or not?,

This review is from: WHORES: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment (Hardcover)
Although I am intellectually familiar with most of the anecdotes that underline Mr. Klayman's book, Whores, I found overall that the story itself would have been enormously reinforced with citations and source notes.I'm not sure if this kind of book has been written in a particular "style" and does not have to have notes, it might leave the uninitiated with doubts about the overall veracity of the book. Discovering that there are no citations, I read the book as I would read a magazine article or lengthy newspaper one, continually questioning in my mind what might be true and what might not, and trying overall to re-discover in my own mind what I could truly believe according to my own reading history. Overall I found the book to be interesting and written with a passion for trying to change what is currently happening in America, while understanding that the source of our current difficulties has a long history and didn't happen "....just yesterday." I found the title to be appropriate.

The corruption in our government is so disgustingly deep, it is beyond appalling. Larry Klayman is in the unique position to be aware of some of the many injustices which will never be reported by our news media. Each party not only protects its own, but protect one another across party lines in order to avoid making enemies, lest their own political goals be stifled. Judges refuse to hear cases against politicians in high places, even when evidence is overwhelming, because they don't want their own career to suffer. It's one very big, very sick system.

This tells the truth about the so called "Washington Elites" who believe they are above the rest of us! He doesn't just pick on one party over the other, he tells the facts about both of our "so-called" leaders!

not non-partisan,
This review is from: WHORES: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment (Hardcover)
The book should be titled "How and why I hate Bill and Hillary Clinton". Saw Klayman on Bill Moyer's Journal and decided to request the book from my local library. After reading chapter 14 titled "An Ominous Beginning to the Bush Years", which turned out to be more Clinton bashing, I decided to return it unfinished. The line "It would take September 11, its aftermath and Bush's leadership for me to regain that respect in some small measure." was the "decider." The fact that there was no mention of the Republican shenanigans in the 2000 election helped me realize that Mr. Klayman is not only partisan but ugly partisan.
