Reports Indicate Rupert Murdoch And Family To Lose Billions Due To Phone Hacking Scandal

They Need To Lose Their Freedom As Well

Rupert Murdoch and third wife Wendi Murdoch

Reports in the press indicate, News International/News Corp, run by crooked, Rupert Murdoch and his equally greedy and sinister offspring, is set to lose billions from the ongoing phone hacking scandal. The Murdoch family is operating under the belief, the scandal will blow over in a few months, while he works to corrupt the FBI, as he did the Metropolitan Police in Britain, in attempts at blocking the case from going mainstream.

One of Murdoch’s top executives and editors, Rebekah Brooks, publicly bragged that the company routinely bribed police officers (Rupert Murdoch Executive Admitted To Bribing The Metropolitan Police (Video). This in connection with the fact the Metropolitan Police already arrested one of their own police officers last week, should tell Murdoch this case is not something people are going to forget.

This case has revealed to the world how prevalent criminal invasion of privacy has become in the news and entertainment world and that it not only affects select public figures, but private citizens as well. It is not going to be business as usual anymore, as Murdoch’s family’s name and that of their company is gone for good with the public.

Rupert Murdoch's son James Murdoch, has been very involved in the crimes being committed

As revealed by a former Fox News employee, News Corp maintains an illegal hacking and wiretapping division, as do others in their circle, such as Kabbalah, whose arrogance, cockiness and carelessness, caused the case to go public in the first place (yet amazingly, they have not stopped the criminal behavior).

These people have perversely and insidiously violated people in ways the public cannot begin to fathom, as the case is still unfolding. The FBI in America are sitting on terrible evidence of serious criminal misconduct in this regard, in support of wealthy criminals, such as Murdoch. This is not what the taxpayers pay their salaries for them to do.

Last week, the arrest of one of Murdoch’s journalists that was living and working in America, whilst committing serious crimes, once again should signal to the world that criminal violations of not only British law, but American statutes as well, transpired in this sordid tale of greed, callousness and perversion. International laws in Australia, Canada and the Caribbean, have been flagrantly violated by News International/News Corp as well.

FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller, has been suppressing significant evidence regarding the case, for the past several years, engaging in a massive cover up of crimes News Corp and others involved in the scandal have been committing in America and other nations of the world

When you begin hacking and wiretapping the phones of deceased children that died as victims of brutal crimes, each and every hacker, wiretapper, private investigator and executive, needs to be rounded up like the criminals they are and locked away for being a menace to society. This conduct is inexcusable. Add computer hacking, stalking and burglary to the charge and you gain a clearer picture of a set of people that have become so sick, they’ve defied every societal law set in place to protect the public.

The Murdochs and their coconspirators, have committed enough crimes against the public, to wipe out their illegally made fortunes via lawsuits, fines and penalties. They need to be removed from News Corp stat and arrested, so as to prevent the total collapse of the company, which would leave many people out of work during a global financial crisis. If they remain, they are going to take the company down with them. It is only a matter of time - when, not if.

It is because of people like the Murdochs that the world is mired in a financial crisis - individuals and companies that do not believe they are to follow the law or rules of society. People that believe they are to bribe those in authority to engage in and get away with the unconscionable and unthinkable. Those that believe they are to steal from others, destroy people’s companies to pillage their assets and exploit the public in horrible ways, all in the name of getting rich. Well, for that, they should be made poor. The public is not going to be satisfied until the Murdochs get locked up.

Police Officer Arrested In News Corp's Phone Hacking Scandal

Rupert Murdoch

Another arrest has been made in the News International/News Corp phone hacking scandal. An unnamed police constable (officer) with the Metropolitan Police, has been arrested for taking bribes and leaking protected information to News International/News Corp.

Two senior police officials have already resigned under the current scandal. Previously, News International/News Corp employee, Rebekah Brooks, publicly bragged during a hearing and to a celebrity about bribing police officers (Rupert Murdoch Executive Admitted To Bribing The Metropolitan Police (Video).

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner, John Yates, resigned (but has not been arrested)

It's a sad day for Scotland Yard and the Metropolitan Police that Rupert Murdoch and his corrupt companies have brought the force to this juncture, but such conduct cannot be tolerated. I'm sorry it happened, but Murdoch and company cannot be allowed to engage in such criminality and they should pay for bringing this shame on the Met.

News Corp Employees State James Murdoch Lied In Parliament About The Phone Hacking Scandal

That's Because If He Were To Tell The Truth He'd Go Straight To Prison

James Murdoch

James Murdoch, the son of News Corp CEO, Rupert Murdoch, was publicly exposed yesterday, as a deceitful liar that gave false testimony in the British Parliament this week. This amounts to lying under oath, which is a crime. This news supports the Judiciary Report's article two days ago, regarding the Murdochs lying in Parliament (Rupert Murdoch Is A Liar And A Coward To Let His Employees Take The Fall For Him). News Corp employees are insisting, James knew of the criminal phone hacking News International/News Corp engaged in on a daily basis, to procure scoops and publish secrets for their newspapers and television broadcasts.

Rupert Murdoch

Former editor of the News of the World, Colin Myler and the newspaper's former lawyer, Tom Crone, insist James Murdoch was informed years ago of the criminal phone hacking taking place at the company, but looked the other way for profits. Instead, James Murdoch went into Parliament on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 and flat out lied to the MPs, stating he knew nothing of what was going on, when he participated in the crimes being committed.

James Murdoch and Rupert Murdoch

Murdoch should go to prison for lying in Parliament and phone hacking, among other things, as should his dad. Lawmakers are demanding James Murdoch return to the Parliament for further questioning. He is also due to be grilled by Scotland Yard for bribing police officers.

Rupert Murdoch Is A Liar And A Coward To Let His Employees Take The Fall For Him

James Murdoch (left) and Rupert Murdoch (right)

During yesterday's hearing into Rupert Murdoch and News International/News Corp, in the British Parliament, the corrupt CEO arrogantly denied all responsibility for his company's heinous conduct, while pouting like a 80-year-old baby made to publicly give an account for his crimes.

When asked if he feels any responsibility over the criminal conduct emanating from his company, Murdoch arrogantly snapped "no" with an impudent look on his face. He has absolutely no remorse for what has happened.

Rupert Murdoch and son James Murdoch, intent on living the so-called good life, at any criminal expense

It became evident quite fast that Murdoch thought the hearing was beneath him and was miffed anyone dared question his criminality. Murdoch came off loony during the hearing, interrupting others' statements with odd and off the cuff comments, displaying a roller coaster of uneven emotions that made him appear bipolar.

One minute Murdoch was smiling, the next he erupted in anger, in a pattern that kept repeating itself during the hearing. Murdoch is not all there. He and his strange, shifty son, James Murdoch, repeatedly lied under oath, even changing their statements to form contradictory claims, when confronted with the truth regarding their lies.

News Corp were shown to be a company with excessive sums of money laying around in petty cash, undoubtedly used for bribes. James Murdoch, signed massive, record breaking settlement checks in attempts at buying the silence of victims/potential witnesses, to avoid criminal charges, yet pretended in the hearing he did not know what he was signing. They truly insulted the public's intelligence. Show of hands, how many of you would sign million dollar checks and not know what it is for? No one.

In 2007, when Rupert Murdoch and his company lied about the phone hacking scandal enveloping News International/News Corp, they told the government of Britain and the world, it was only one rogue reporter involved in the criminal misconduct. Yet, here we have in it 2011, nearly a dozen of Murdoch's employees, reporters and private investigators included, have been arrested on the charge of phone hacking.

Rebekah Brooks enjoyed the so-called good life with the Murdochs and has been well compensated for criminal activity at News International/News Corp with a $5,000,000 golden parachute

According to prominent press reports, the British government is investigating Murdoch and company, for trying to bribe police officers just three weeks ago (once again) into burying the criminal case against them. How shameful.

The aforementioned, chronic criminal conduct should serve as a lesson to world governments. Let Murdoch and company get away with this massive criminality today and under his family's leadership, expect worst conduct from them tomorrow, as they will lie to your faces and go right back to business as usual, with the temptation to outdo their past evil deeds winning out, having gotten away with the unthinkable twice.

Protests outside Parliament as the Murdoch's testified

The reason News Corp keeps getting into more serious trouble, in hearing after hearing and scandal after scandal, is the simple and unavoidable fact, the rot and repugnance starts at the top of the company, then works its way down. These abhorrent plots and criminal schemes come directly from the Murdochs, who have their employees carry them out, in exchange for added financial compensation.

Until the Murdoch's are excised from News Corp, expect worst to come that will shock the public. The Murdochs have bought up others' respectable companies and brought them into such shame and disrepute it will never be forgotten.

News Corp's Rebekah Brooks Lied Under Oath

Contradicts Herself In Parliament

2003 Hearing (Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson)

In 2003, former News International/News Corp executive and journalist, Rebekha Brooks, clearly stated in the British Parliament, "We have paid the police for information in the past" with former co-worker and fellow arrestee Andy Coulson chiming in that they did so "within the law."

2011 Hearing (see 2:10 for Brooks' statements)

During yesterday's hearing, gone was Brooks' arrogance from her previous jaunt in Parliament, replaced by denials that completely contradict Brooks' 2003 testimony, as she stated this week, "I can say that I have never paid a policeman myself. I've never sanctioned or knowingly sanctioned a payment to a police officer." Right (sarcasm).

Rebekah Brooks

Side Bar: I must ask, because your statements are so preposterous, when and in what nation of the world is it legal, to bribe police officers for information. Exactly what planet are you and News Corp on. I know you are aware that paying police officers for information equals a bribe, which indicates conduct lacking ethics, transparency and legality. It is commonsense that if you have to pay police officers for information it means you should not acquire possession of the data you seek.

Rupert Murdoch

Back to the article. Brooks' original hearing 8-years ago, grants the public the ability to now fast-forward and view what the failure to clamp down on Rupert Murdoch's evil empire in 2003, has morph into, via a horrific scandal that has so violated the innocent people, including missing children that were later found murdered, it defies comprehension that any company could be so sick, wicked and greedy.

The FBI To Investigate Rupert Murdoch's News Corp

FBI Director Mueller

On orders from the U.S. Congress, the FBI is opening an investigation, into Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, in the wake of allegations and arrests in Britain, for illegal hacking and wiretapping of over 9,000 phone lines. Ironically, the FBI has been aware of News Corp's criminal misconduct from 2005, but elected to launch a cover up, as Murdoch is a billionaire deemed "too big to fail."

As such, the FBI has allowed a terrible crime spree, orchestrated by Murdoch and carried out by questionable private investigators and members of News Corp, to go unchallenged in America. Last week, an American police officer, went public with allegations that Murdoch tried to bribe him into getting the details of the phone calls and messages of September 11th terrorist attack victims, which is despicable. Murdoch did the same in Britain to 7/7 terrorist victims and separately, missing children, who were murdered.

However, Murdoch's News Corp, which is the parent company of Fox (American Idol), Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, to name a few, has unlawfully spied on many people in America, via illegal wiretapping and hacking, then criminally disseminated the contents on television and in print as scoops and exclusives.

As a Metropolitan Police officer told me in October 2005, when I first filed a formal complaint reporting Murdoch's companies, for criminally hacking and illegally wiretapping me, in conjunction with Madonna, thus unintentionally breaking the story first, "Don't hold your breath regarding the FBI" further stating they are not good on such cases and significant sums of money is usual a factor in their decision making. Since that time, I have found it to be true.

Where the Metropolitan Police made its first arrests, regarding Murdoch's staff, six months after I filed my complaint on October 17, 2005, the FBI did exactly what the Met said they would - nothing - which allowed serious criminal misconduct to mushroom.

Since 2005, I have found the FBI to be the most corrupt and treacherous law enforcement agency in existence that takes bribes. As stated before, my best source of site exclusives that have been proven true time after time, informed me that Robert S. Mueller took a massive bribe from Madonna, to sweep this sick case, that also involves Murdoch, under the rug.

Murdoch has even admitted wrongdoing in 2011, proving my 2005 allegations true and correct (Rupert Murdoch Finally Admits His Company's Phone Hacking And Wiretapping Crimes). But the FBI has a serious corruption problem and at the expense of the public's health. For more on that see the "Patents" section of the article The FBI Corruptly Granted "Sovereign Immunity" In The Aisha v. FBI Case. But mark my words, they will legally answer to the world for it and in the near future. What they did is beyond evil.

A defiant and arrogant Rebekah Brooks, appeared before a British government committee in 2003, regarding bribing Metropolitan Police officers, for protected information on members of the public, to use for publication in News International newspapers, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

Rupert Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks smiling in London last week, showing no remorse for illegally wiretapping and hacking 9,000 home and mobile phone lines, then printing the details of the illegal surveillance in the newspapers and broadcasting it on TV. Lock them up!

At Brooks' side in the video, was News Corp employee, Andy Coulson, who quit his job in 2010, to work with newly elected Prime Minister, David Cameron. It was Rupert Murdoch's attempt to corruptly control the British government, as he had criminally invaded the privacy of Cameron's predecessor, Gordon Brown. Coulson was recently booted from his post as Communications Chief to Cameron and arrested as apart of the ongoing phone hacking scandal.

The FBI Being Called Corrupt For Letting Mobster James Bulger Go

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

The recent capture of mobster and FBI informant, James "Whitey" Bulger, has brought to light the fact, the FBI acted improperly in a case that led to the murder of many innocent civilians. The FBI deliberately let a known criminal and murderer run loose, to the public's detriment, as he murdered 17 people.

The FBI even gave Bugler a heads up, in conduct that led to the murder of an innocent fisherman, which is completely inexcusable. They've also refused to make amends, having a financial judgment against them for criminal negligence in the death of one of Bulger's victims, thrown out of court.

James Bulger

Many are also skeptical of the FBI story, regarding how Bulger was apprehended last month, stating the agency is lying to the public. Congressman Stephen Lynch is demanding a full investigation into the FBI's conduct in this matter.

Indicted John Edwards Pleads His Innocence To A Skeptical Public

Former presidential candidate and senator, John Edwards, has been indicted on campaign fraud charges that allege bribery and improper use of funds. It all stems from the disastrous affair Edwards conducted with publicity seeking videographer, Rielle Hunter.

She made life difficult for his late wife, Elizabeth Edwards, who died of cancer, by flaunting their affair in her face and doing a number of press interviews about the relationship and the child that sprang from it. It cost Edwards a shot at the presidency, as his name took a battering in the court of public opinion, largely due to Hunter's arrogance towards his sick wife.

The grand jury returned an indictment against Edwards, which led to charges this week. Edwards is proclaiming his innocence, but his pleas are being overshadowed by public view on the turmoil and heartache his wife faced in her last days.
