Port Authority Investigated by SEC and FBI.

June 19, 2014 at 9:19 A.M. There is no service on the A train downtown on the N.Y. subway system due to a mysterious fire. I have no way of getting downtown that is convenient from my apartment. I will try to give myself additional time to walk to the library, if necessary, to make copies. 

No response has yet been received from Invicta or government officials. The number of the latest return receipts will be posted when they are received by me. ("Invicta Watch Company.") 

June 18, 2014 at 11:46 A.M. I received a call identified as emanating from "Beacon, New York" from 845-765-4829. Regrettably, accessing Google Chrome is still impossible from laptops at Morningside Heights, NYPL. Today the printer has been disabled, again, at this library branch. A list of sources will be attached to this essay in the days ahead.   

Christopher Baxter, "Top Christie Aide Slammed For Not Seeking Answers," The Star Ledger, June 10, 2014, p. 1. (Christie's Chief of Staff, Kevin O'Dowd, tells the N.J. legislative committee looking into the GWB scandal that he does not speak English. He wasn't there. He didn't know from nothing.)

Salvador Rizzo, "Christie's GWB Legal Team Bills the State $2.6 Million in February," The Star Ledger, June 10, 2014, p. 2. (Randy Mastro, Esq. is asking Mr. Christie to give him a $53 million building in Paterson, like Mr. Hanson's charming little property, so he can make $2-to-$5 million per year in perpetuity tax free. No OAE investigation of these legal fees paid by N.J. taxpayers is forthcoming. "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.")

Salvador Rizzo, "More Unions File Suit Over Cut in Pension Payment," The Star Ledger, June 10, 2014, p. 13. (N.J. government employee unions are suing the governor for taking $2.4 BILLION meant for the pension system to cover "increasing gaps" in the budget caused by waste and corruption as well as good old ineptitude, as usual, in New Jersey.)

"Bayonne's Bailout: Christie Uses Shady Land Deal to Raid Port Authority Piggy Bank," (Editorial) The Star Ledger, June 10, 2014, p. 14. (Mr. Christie "dips into" the Port Authority's coffers to solve his economic woes thanks to the likes of Mr. Samson and Mr. Baroni as the P.A. is investigated by the SEC, FBI, and Mr. Vance's District Attorney's office in Manhattan because New Jersey prosecutors are probably not trusted to be honest in any investigation of their colleagues in Trenton or at the PA.)

Charles Stile, "Sweeney Needs Unions On His Side: Restoring Pension Cuts Could Patch Three Year [sic.] Rift," The Star Ledger, June 10, 2014, p. 14. (Mr. Sweeney needs to restore traditional alliances between labor unions and N.J.'s disgraced Democrats. Good luck.)

Melissa Hayes, "Christie Shows Off Dance Skills With Fallon: GWB, Weight Figure in Jokes On Tonight," The Record, June 13, 2014, p. A-9. (Whatever remnants of credibility and dignity lingered in the public perception of Mr. Christie have now been destroyed by this latest absurd spectacle. Whoever advised Mr. Christie to subject himself to this "slovenly" and "unseemly" appearance on entertainment television is not a friend. Was it Hillary Clinton? Or Rand Paul? Jeb Bush, perhaps?)

Kibret Marcos, "Girl Recants Accusation as Sex Abuse Trial Begins," The Record, June 13, 2014, p. L-3. (Trial of a Paterson man accused -- like Senator Menendez -- of a sexual interest in underage girls, focuses on the activity of an alleged "agent" Ruel Powell, 23, who is charged with performing sexual actions on a five year-old girl. The young victim, not surprisingly, is experiencing difficulties with her testimony. "Menendez Consorts With Underage Prostitutes.")

Asif Sharzad & Rebecca Santana, "U.S. Drone Strike Kills 13 Suspected Militants," The Star Ledger, June 13, 2014, p. 3. (Additional drone attacks have taken the lives of "militants," unfortunately, some of these militants are children and old persons.)

Susan K. Livio, "Ex-Kessler Doctor Loses License Over Sex Claim: Neurologist was accused of having an affair with a woman he treated for seizures," The Star Ledger, June 13, 2014, p. 19. (Jonathan Fulles of Glen Ridge, New Jersey displays a Debbie Poritz-like fondness for incapacitated young women. Estela De La Cruz, perhaps, would approve of this sort of thing. Was Diana Lisa Riccioli supplying Ms. Poritz and others with young women for sexual purposes? "Diana's Friend Goes to Prison!" and "Marilyn Straus Was Right!" then "Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!" and "N.J. Female Professor Rapes Disabled Man.")

Jamie Shram & Laura Italiana, "'Looty' Licious: Strip-Club 'Drug and Overbill,'" The New York Post, June 12, 2014, p. 5. (Drugging and forms of hypnosis are nothing new as techniques of rape. Did Diana Lisa Riccioli know Alina Fallat? Oneida Duran? Did this "knowledge" relate to Marilyn Straus in any way? Were any of these persons involved with "events" in my office? Does drugging and hypnosis explain Estela de La Cruz's "relationship" with Marilyn Straus? Was Ms. De La Cruz acquainted with Alina Fallat? "Jennifer Velez is a Dyke Magnet!")  

Shawn Boburg, "Port Says SEC Also Probing Funding of N.J. Road Projects," The Record, June 13, 2014, p. A-3.

"The SEC investigation" -- that necessarily involves other government agencies, including the FBI -- "is looking at the Port Authority's justification for diverting $1.8 BILLION to pay for New Jersey road repair projects at the urging of the Christie administration, people familiar with the matter said. The largest of these projects is the $1 BILLION upgrade to the Pulaski Skyway, a state-owned bridge that connects Newark and Jersey City and is not operated or maintained by the Port Authority."

What I find significant about this far from surprising or unexpected development in the investigation(s) of the Port Authority is that it reveals the mentality of the Christie administration and New Jersey politicians in general with regard to government resources and revenues.

Public "things" or goods and tax money are to be exploited or used to further the ambitions and solve the problems of the individual politician in the Garden State -- whether it happens to be Christie or McGreevey -- and not in the interest or for the welfare of most of the people residing in the state.

As a matter of fact, Mr. Christie, and others like him, seem to believe with Louis XV that "the state is me."

What is good for Chris Christie, in other words -- like using PA funds to solve "his" state's budgetary problems -- is good for New Jersey and, by extension, for America.

Taxpayers in New York contributing to the Port Authority's coffers may not agree that as long as money is spent in ways helpful to Christie's career there is nothing to complain about. 

Thanks to Mr. Christie's memorable performance of the "twist" on network television, I believe that the governor's chances of becoming the next President of the United States of America are the only things about him that are very slim. Mr. Christie's promise to perform a topless "pole dance" for the nation has generated a great deal of interest.

The possible transformation of the size of the text in this essay at any time is due to hackers, no doubt from New Jersey, and is not something that I can control. I will do my best to cope with these difficulties as I type this essay. The effect of this tactic seems to be to emphasize any altered paragraph.

Regrettably, Mr. Christie's chances of remaining Governor of New Jersey for the next few years are excellent. In light of this undisputed fact, the question arises of what Mr. Christie knew about the allegations in my blogs and the activities (including computer crimes) described by me. ("How censorship works in America" and "Censorship and Cruelty in New Jersey.")

Did Mr. Christie choose to ignore these crimes that may have been committed from New Jersey government computers by state lawyers and/or judges? ("John McGill, Esq., the OAE, and New Jersey Corruption" and "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")

Government should be about making the difficult decisions that are in the long-term interests of the majority of the people for whom a public official is responsible. 

Public authority must not be about risking the lives of innocent persons and the general welfare to protect "friends" at the OAE -- or at New Jersey's Supreme Court -- in order to avoid their embarrassment or your own, Mr. Rabner and Mr. Christie. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Christie Breaks a Campaign Promise by Reappointing Rabner.")

Doing the right thing, as a public official or Chief Justice, is often not very helpful if your primary goal is reelection, or moving up the political ladder, or easing into a sinecure that will last until you are seventy years-old. ("What did you know, Mr. Rabner, and when did you know it?")

I regret the disintegration of Mr. Christie's political life because I had naïve hopes that Mr. Christie would control and even improve the legendary problem of corruption and ineptitude in Trenton. ("U.S. Attorney Calls New Jersey A 'Culture of Corruption'" and "Christie Attacks New Jersey's Corrupt Judges.")

David Samson's activities have come under scrutiny from law enforcement. Efforts are being made to go beyond any and all (including Newark's federal) N.J.-based law enforcement officials in pursuing these matters that will certainly require PA "overtime."

The lack of trust for New Jersey officialdom says a lot about the sad state of the only jurisdiction in America that has been likened to Meyer Lansky's brothel. ("Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?" and "New Jersey is Lucky Luciano's Havana.")

Please compare "Herbert Klitzner, Esq.'s Greed and N.J.'s Hypocrisy!" with "David Samson Resigns."

"The Manhattan District Attorney's office has also launched a probe into [the Pulaski Skyway] funding agreement."

Notice the key language here:

"The SEC is positioned to investigate whether the Port Authority misled investors and bondholders when it stated in official documents that the project was authorized and was CONNECTED to one of its facilities. [emphasis added] The Manhattan District Attorney's office is also investigating whether there was any criminal conduct." ("Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")

"Misled" in this context is a polite euphemism for "lied through their teeth." Port Authority officials, mostly N.J. lawyers, lied in order to bilk investors, allegedly. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")

Will the OAE or Mr. Rabner -- with his newly-discovered interest in "justice" -- look into these allegations in order to investigate sleazy attorneys, like David Samson and so many others, at Lowenstein, Sadler perhaps? I doubt it. ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "New Jersey's Politically-Connected Lawyers On the Tit" then "New Jersey Lawyers' Ethics Farce" and "New Jersey Lawyers and Judges Pay Themselves OT.")

"In March, a coalition of labor and other groups filed a complaint against Port Authority Chairman David Samson, alleging he used his position to benefit developers and other clients of his law firm." ("David Samson, Esq. Should Resign" and "Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?")
