February 6, 2012 at 2:07 P.M. I logged on to the NYPL computer only to find myself already on Google without visiting the NYPL's homepage. Strange. I can not say whether I will be able to return to this site from one day to the next. I will continue to try to write on-line, every day.
February 6, 2012 at 1:00 P.M. "The Failure of Capitalist Production: Underlying Causes of the Great Recession." Professor Andrew Kliman will discuss his new book at "Bluestocking," 172 Allen Street, New York, N.Y. (212) 777-6028. For more information or to order the book: "The Marxist Humanist Initiative," http://www.marxisthumanist.org/
Christopher Baxter, "Rutgers Instructor Shared Child Porn, Authorities Charge: Allegedly Used Office Computer," in The Record, January 12, 2012, at p. A-3.
New Jersey is notorious for obscene levels of corruption permitting the loathsome child sexual abuse industry to flourish from Atlantic City to Union City. Cuban-American organized crime and not -- for the most part, the Italian mafia -- is primarily responsible for this despicable reality.
Elizabeth and West New York police departments, for example, were said to contain many "friends" of these exploiters of children and assorted (as well as sordid) drug dealers from local neighborhoods. I will be delighted to name persons who uttered indiscreet -- also "indiscrete" -- remarks pertaining to this matter.
Garden State politicians were and are among the most often bribed officials in the nation, proud of a long tradition of graft that has allowed poor young people to achieve the American dream with a modicum of criminality. ("New Jersey's Child Sex Industry" and "Is Menendez For Sale?" then "Senator Bob Loves Xanadu!")
"A biochemistry professor at Rutgers University has been arrested on charges that he used his office computer" -- paid for by taxpayers! -- "to share hundreds of videos of child pornography over the Internet, the state attorney general's office said Wednesday."
These videos are, usually, locally produced materials that are distributed by an underground network throughout the country. New Jersey may lead the nation in the production of this stuff.
The number of young women damaged by this evil is impossible to estimate with accuracy. I believe that they number in the hundreds of thousands, maybe more.
"University officials said the instructor, GAVIN SWIATEK, 49, has been teaching at the Cook Campus in New Brunswick since 2005."
"Swiatek ... was taken into custody on Tuesday at his home in Hillborough and charged with possession and distribution of child pornography, state attorney general, Jeffrey Chiesa said."
Mr. Chiesa, any chance that I can get the torture files any time soon? How much do you need, Jeffrey? ("No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!")
This college professor was using a computer provided to him by the good folks in New Jersey, whose taxes support Rutgers University. I am sure that residents cannot imagine a better use for their money than allowing perverts to enjoy child porn. ("New Jersey's Political and Judicial Whores" and "New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court.")
Given the levels of bought and paid for political protection for such people -- protection that must exist to allow for so much of this activity -- it is amazing that this guy was caught at all. ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?" and "Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?" then "New Jersey is the Home of Child Molesters.")
"Authorities said detectives seized Swiatek's office computer as well as a laptop [computer] and other digital media from him and [from] his home. He is being held on $50,000 bail in Middlesex County Jail as prosecutors seek a state grand jury indictment on the charges."
Allegations that Mr. Swiatek contributed to the campaigns of Senator Menendez and other prominent New Jersey Democrats (Mr. Sweeney?) can not be confirmed at this time. To my knowledge, Senator Menendez has not commented on this matter. ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" and "Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")
A list of additional recent examples of corruption in New Jersey's political and legal system -- including MORE child abuse-related matters! -- will be added to this essay in the days ahead, depending on how much cybercrime and harassment I must deal with in order to write from public computers in New York.

(Former state senator Wayne Bryant and his law firm received $8,000 per month from jailed highly ethical attorney Eric Wisler, Esq. for "advice regarding the Meadowlands golf project." No legal services of any kind were performed for these fees, which may have involved public moneys disbursed by a then licensed attorney from a politically-connected firm that represented the former New Jersey Governor, for a total of $200,000. The OAE thought this was hunky-dory, at the time, and may think differently now only because of political pressure from a Republican Governor. No other attorneys, including partners at either of these political firms, have been disbarred as a result of these "shenanigans."
