(Washington, D.C., January 17, 2014). Larry Klayman, former Justice Department prosecutor and founder of Judicial Watch and now Freedom Watch and a plaintiff and pro se legal counsel in the landmark case of Klayman et. al. v. Obama et. al (Case no. 851), the lawsuit in DC federal court that resulted in a preliminary injunction concerning the NSA’s illegal spy program, first revealed by whistleblower Edward Snowden, is available for comment and interview over the anticipated recommendations, which are expected to fall far short of bringing the program into constitutional compliance, by President Obama, currently scheduled for January 17, 2014.…
(Washington, D.C., January 3, 2014) Today, it has been mistakenly reported that Senator Rand Paul will be the first to file a class action lawsuit regarding the NSA’s spy program in the D.C. District Court as an individual, not as a U.S. Senator. This news comes just two weeks after the Honorable Judge Richard Leon ruled that the NSA’s dragnet collection of metadata of over 300 million Americans violates the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. But, Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch, Freedom Watch and also a former Justice Department prosecutor, filed two class action lawsuits in June (13-cv-881,…

(Washington, D.C., December 27, 2013). Today, ruling in ACLU v. Clapper, (13-cv-3994) federal Judge William H. Pauley III of the Southern District of New York found that the National Security Agency’s (“NSA”) program that spies on over 300 million Americans – the entire populous – is consistent with the U.S. Constitution and that “[t]his blunt tool only works because it collects everything.” His decision comes eleven days after federal Judge Richard J. Leon’s decision before the District Court for the District of Columbia in Klayman v. Obama (13-cv-881) ruled that the NSA’s spy program is “almost-Orwellian” and it violates the…
(Washington, D.C., December 23, 2013), After a federal judge’s scathing ruling against the NSA, Larry Klayman, former prosecutor for the U.S. Justice Department, founder of Freedom Watch and, most eminently, the man who put a stop to the NSA’s unconstitutional spy program, accepted an interview proposal from Don Lemon on CNN. Klayman’s appearance Tuesday night was preceded by a profile of him that included disparaging remarks from Bradley Blakeman, the lead-in to Lemon’s hit piece and someone Klayman was forced to sue for improperly using Freedom Watch’s name and forming another group not coincidentally named “Freedom’s Watch” – a front…

Leon of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has granted his motion for preliminary injunction against the federal government and the National Security Agency (“NSA”), enjoining the NSA from collecting telephone and other metadata, finding that the program violates the U.S. Constitution. “This is the most significant case in the history of any litigation against the government,” Klayman added.

By Larry Klayman Founder, Freedom Watch December 14, 2013 With each new week, the American people learn more about the government’s spying on over 300 million citizens – with the obvious intent and effect of coercing and enslaving all of us to its collective will – particularly those who challenge the duplicity, deceit, policies, and corrupt, treasonous and seditious actions of establishment “leaders” like President Barack Hussein Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Here is what we have learned, thanks in large part to the…
Date: November 19, 2013 Time: 10:00 am – 6:30 pm Place: Lafayette Park (Washington D.C., November 18, 2013). As the Declaration of Independence requires of all Americans, it has now become necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands that have connected them with another. It is critical for us to rise up and confront the political establishment that has willfully and maliciously bound our hands and voices. We must invoke our unalienable right to liberty. Our government has become so destructive that, as our Founding Fathers expressed, it is our right and duty to alter or abolish it,…
