Census Hires Sex Offender For Home Visits

Posted: 20 May 2010 08:14 AM PDT

In a shameful mishap for the U.S. government, the Census Bureau knowingly hired a registered sex offender with a long criminal history to make home visits even though such convicts are precluded from working for the agency.

The embarrassing gaffe came to light when a young mother in a New Jersey suburb recognized the census worker who came to her home from the state's registered sex offender database. She initially thought it was safe to provide the man with information because he was a legit U.S. Census Bureau worker with a badge and bag sporting the agency's official logo.

The woman, who got the census visit because she had misplaced her survey, provided the worker with names and birthdates for members of her family. She was also asked whether she and her husband rented or owned the home in Pennsauken, a town of about 35,000 residents. Throughout the visit, the woman was certain the census official's face looked familiar.

Toward the end of the interview, she recognized the census worker from New Jersey's sex-offender internet registry. She even remembered his numerous aliases and notified police. The sex offender immediately got arrested and charged with false representation and impersonating a public official.

Here's the best part: The sex offender passed a name check because he used a fake name (Jamie Shepard) to get the census job, but he failed a fingerprint check after getting hired in late April. He was still allowed to complete four days of training and allowed to visit homes even though agency officials confirm that he didn't pass the background check.

If this isn't pure insanity what is? It's not like the felon totally fooled the government, which would have been bad enough. Officials knew he didn't pass the background check yet they sent him to the homes of unsuspecting residents in the region.

The Census Bureau has been plagued by several other scandals in recent months, including its implementation of a costly advertising campaign catering to illegal immigrants. More than $338 million has gone to promote the census with a mass public relations campaign geared largely at assuring illegal aliens that they wont' be reported to authorities if they answer questionnaires. Additionally, $26 million has been spent to send Spanish-language questionnaires directly to homes for the first time in the decennial count's history.

Judicial Watch Files Lawsuit against Federal Reserve to Obtain AIG and Lehman Brothers Bailout Documents

Posted: 20 May 2010 07:23 AM PDT

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit on May 11 against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system related to the financial bailouts of American International Group (AIG) and Lehman Brothers on behalf of former FDIC employee Vern McKinley. The lawsuit is part of Judicial Watch's comprehensive investigation to determine under what legal authorities and lawful rationales the federal government initiated the Wall Street bailouts.

With his March 21, 2010, FOIA request targeting information related to the AIG bailout McKinley requested: "…any and all communications and records concerning or relating to the Board [of Governors'] decision that detail that 'the disorderly failure of AIG was likely to have a systemic effect on financial markets that were already experiencing a significant level of fragility,' as described in the [Board] meeting minutes."

With his March 28, 2010, FOIA request targeting information related to the Lehman Brothers bailout, McKinley requested: "…any and all communications and records regarding analysis undertaken regarding Lehman Brothers and the assessment in September 2008 or earlier of what 'contagion' might have flowed from Lehman Brother's filing of bankruptcy, as the word contagion was used in the case of the Board of Governors' deliberations over Bear Stearns…or 'systemic effect of financial markets' that may have flowed from a Lehman Bankruptcy as the phrase was used in the Board of Governors' deliberations over American International Group…"

The Board of Governors acknowledged receipt of both FOIA requests but failed to respond within the statutory allotted time period, prompting Judicial Watch's lawsuit.

The Federal Reserve Board of Governors used Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act to justify its decision to radically break from precedent and authorize these massive financial bailouts. (As Judicial Watch noted in a previous FOIA lawsuit, "Not since the Great Depression had the Board exercised its authority…to authorize a loan to a non-banking entity.") However, the Fed has provided few details regarding its internal deliberations and the analysis used to arrive at the conclusion that these bailouts were absolutely essential. The Obama administration continues to stonewall the release of documents that could shed light on the matter, even documents from the Bush administration.

"We are now trillions of taxpayer dollars into these financial bailouts and a fundamental question remains unanswered: Under what authority did the federal government take such a radically intrusive approach to the financial crisis? The Federal Reserve and the Obama administration owe the American people an explanation," said Judicial Watch President Tom [...]
