April 28, 2015 at 1:18 P.M. Hackers prevented me from signing-in to computer number #1, NYPL, Morningside Heights branch, so that the librarian was forced to place me on one of the children's computers.
There was no explanation for the amazing number of computers sabotaged when I make use of them.
I have retained copies of the appointment receipts for both computers with which I have tried to write today.
I do not know whether I will be able to write tomorrow.
Continuing computer crime when I attempt to sign-in makes it difficult to complete writings on-line.
I will struggle to continue writing to the best of my ability.
No response to my communications has yet been received from New York or federal public officials. Police and prosecutors only say: "No comment."
April 27, 2015 at 3:05 P.M. An unusual notice appeared at computer number #6 NYPL, Morningside Heights branch, when I signed-in today.
I can never be certain of signing-in or regaining access to these blogs. My essay "The Galatea Scenario and The Mind/Body Problem" may have been damaged by hackers.
I cannot say how many other works have been harmed. I will do my best to continue writing at blogger.
The Morningside Heights branch of the NYPL was closed on Saturday, April 18, 2015 due to "excessive heat." It was a sweltering 72 degrees when I arrived to use public computers in order to post this essay.
I am unable to access the Internet from my laptop. More than one personal computer in my home has been destroyed by hackers from New Jersey. I cannot send (or receive) emails nor can I post images online.
I will do what I can for 45 minutes per day at library computers for as long as I am able to access my blogs. If more than two days pass without alteration of these blogs, it means that I am prevented from writing against my will. ("How censorship works in America.")
No response from police (or prosecutors) to the information provided by me has been received at this time. To the best of my knowledge the evidence supplied to the authorities is not disputed nor is it contradicted that such evidence points to serious crimes. ("An Open Letter to Cyrus Vance, Jr., Esq.")
I am certain that innocent members of the public continue to be at risk because of efforts to harm me probably at the behest of New Jersey officials, or former officials, lawyers and judges.
The danger for New York city may also be increasing due to officials (seemingly) ignoring these matters.
It is likely, I believe, that New York may have lost information already concerning possible security risks from persons lacking confidence in the capacity of local prosecutors to deal with matters such as I have brought to their attention, publicly, with expediency and respect for legality. ("Prosecutorial Misconduct.")
Few persons will risk their lives to bring information to New York police and prosecutors if they believe that they will be ignored by officials who can be "reached" politically, bribed, or threatened and intimidated.
I will attach the usual additional sources to this essay in the days ahead.

According to research by Gabriel Zuchman, an assistant professor [sic.] at the London School of Economics, Swiss banks still had at least $2 TRILLION that customers haven't declared to tax authorities in their home countries."

"Joseph Ferreiro, the once-powerful boss of the Bergen County Democratic party, was found guilty of bribery, fraud and racketeering charges on Thursday in what federal prosecutors called a 'politics-for-profit' scheme."
Politics in New Jersey, for decades, has been and remains the province of "bosses" controlling -- mostly the Democratic party -- to profit from taxpayers' funds and to protect organized crime families' activities, also for profit. ("New Jersey is the Home of Child Molesters!" and "New Jersey Welcomes Child Molesters.")
This protection includes N.J.'s highly lucrative prostitution, child-prostitution and -porn industries that are among the few "successful" industries remaining in the state. ("New Jersey Superior Court Judge is a Child Molester" and "Judges in Bayonne, New Jersey Protect Child Molesters" then "Edward M. De Sear, Esq. and New Jersey's Filth.")
Bribery is "business as usual" in the Garden State. ("Was Menendez Bribed to Get a Visa For a Croney?")
Boss Bob Menendez, Mr. Ferreiro, "Big Nicky" Sacco and various other political figures have been "on the tit" (to use Trenton's charming expression for corruption) by profiting illicitly from public expenditures for many years. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "New Jersey's Politically-Connected Lawyers On the Tit.")
Efforts to control New Jersey's rampant corruption only became serious after the removal of Mr. McGreevey's so-called "lesbian and gay brigade" even as the hundreds of officials involved in Solomon Dwek's statewide corruption scams were indicted by Christie as U.S. Attorney. ("Neil M. Cohen, Esq. and Conduct Unbecoming to the Legislature in New Jersey.")
Joe Ferreiro --
" -- faces a maximum penalty of 45 years in prison and fines totalling $750,000, prosecutors said."
As predicted in these blogs:
"During the seven-week trial, federal prosecutors told judges that Ferreiro used his position as chairman [sic.] of the Bergen County Democratic organization to 'line his pockets.' ..."
Typically, Ferreiro used his considerable political influence to persuade public officials to contract with software developer John Carino. ("Christie Gives a Donor $1 Million of New Jersey Money.")
Ferreiro was paid a "percentage" of gross receipts from any government "business" obtained by Carino as a result of Ferreiro's efforts. ("New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court.")
Also, as usual, Ferreiro was able to hide his interest by using shell companies with, you guessed it, "probable" Swiss accounts. Mr. Ferreiro, personally, may also have had such an account. ("Cement is Gold.")
Perhaps Mr. Menendez was using a similar tactic with his "good friend," Dr. Melgen? Is that where the "Jocelyn Estevez" check went for a year, Bob? Is this New Jersey's legal ethics, Bob? Do you speak to me of ethics, Mr. Rabner? ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" and "Does Senator Menendez have mafia friends?" then "Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?" and "Sexual Favors For New Jersey Judges.")
I believe that Mr. Ferreiro did, in fact, scheme to "extort $35,000 a month from a Virginia company looking to develop property in the Meadowlands."
This was the so-called Xanadu/American dream scam that has already cost N.J. taxpayers over $5 BILLION (so far) for an unfinished mall and the numbers are rising. Menendez and Ferreiro, essentially, sold their assistance with the project to the highest bidder. Whores? ("New Jersey's Political and Supreme Court Whores" and "Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")
The shell companies may have allowed Ferreiro -- much the same is true of Mr. Menendez -- to funnel kickbacks to Swiss unnumbered accounts in order to avoid tax consequences in America for "undeclared income." ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" and "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")
The amount of time given to Ferreiro to obtain pre-sentencing reports and letters from distinguished persons (like Bob Menendez?) attesting to his splendid character is unusual.
Will Kim Guardagno come through for Joe Ferreiro since she was Mr. Ferreiro's former "apprentice" and "admirer"? ("Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!")
When African-American or poor persons are sentenced, for some reason, they are rarely given months to obtain such documents. Mumia Abu-Jamal was never given a sentencing hearing at all either at the conclusion of his original trial or after the reversal of his death sentence. ("Justice For Mumia Abu-Jamal" and "So Black and So Blue in Prison.")
"Sentencing was set for July 27, 2015 before Judge Esther Salas."
Is the unequal application of disparate laws a matter of human rights concern? Is Judge Salas a member of the Latina lesbian brigade that is indebted to the Bergen Democrat machine? No conflict of interest in this matter, Judge Salas? Does Judge Salas "know" Diana Lisa Riccioli? In the Biblical sense, Esther? Estela De La Cruz? Lilian Munoz? Marilyn Straus? I am sure that Ms. Straus has no idea of the true identity of some of the women and men who raped her while she was unconscious or otherwise incapacitated. ("Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!" and "Diana's Friend Goes to Prison!" then "Marilyn Straus Was Right!" and "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
Like Menendez, Ferreiro was convicted of "running a local political organization as a criminal enterprise [mafia?] using his power and position to line his pockets, ..." ("More Mafia Arrests in New Jersey and Anne Milgram is Clueless" and "Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")
Ferreiro was no different from many other N.J. politicians, judges and justices. ("Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?" and "Stuart Rabner's Selective Sense of Justice.")
N.J.'s U.S. Attorney, Paul Fishman, said Thursday:
"The evidence presented at trial described a racketeering operation that ran on influence peddling, bribes and kickbacks. Rooting out this kind of political corruption is a constant priority for this office."

The total maximum prison time -- if Melgen is convicted on all 76 counts in the case and sentences are imposed consecutively -- comes to 610 years."
The suffering and permanent harm endured by many persons receiving this unnecessary and excruciating treatment -- like eye injections -- so Dr. Melgen and his "good friend" (Mr. Menendez) could make money has not yet been mentioned once by Senator Menendez or Dr. Melgen with the slightest regret, compassion, or even interest in the life-conditions of their victims.
Senator Menendez displays an equal contempt for the needs and wishes of voters in the Garden State who deserve representation in the U.S. Senate from a person unencumbered by concerns about going to prison and defending against a criminal indictment.

Both women may be -- and probably are -- lying to some extent. Mr. Fishman, New Jersey's U.S. Attorney, merely decided not to prosecute either of these ladies. This decision makes sense given Mr. Fishman's refusal to prosecute Chris Christie. Ms. Guardagno's role in my life is still undefined. Mr. Fishman is a Republican, despite being appointed by a Democrat, who is unlikely to damage a Republican governor and presidential candidate. I am sure that Mr. Fishman wants to be a federal judge.)
Michael Barbaro, "Christie's Camp Moves to Save White House Bid," The New York Times, May 3, 2015, p. A19. (There is nothing to "save" for Mr. Christie. Most people believe -- accurately, I think -- that Mr. Christie is lying about Bridgegate and was protected by N.J.'s U.S. Attorney, Mr. Fishman. Bridgegate only makes sense as political retribution by Christie, presumably through the actions of his assistants, allowing him to have "plausible denial." Leaving Christie out of the prosecution of this matter is to put on a performance of Hamlet without the prince.)
Kate Zernike, "Bridge Jam Tied to School Start, Indictment Says," The New York Times, May 2, 2015, p. A1. (2 persons close to Christie, Kelly and Baroni, face charges for lying and for their actions; one person, Wildstein, is willing to testify against Christie and is pleading guilty. No one wants to take Wildstein up on his proposed testimony.)

Michael Barbaro, "Downside to the Excesses That Once Aided Christie," The New York Times, May 2, 2015, p. A17. (" ... To punish a small-town mayor for refusing to endorse Mr. Christie's 2013 reelection, the governor's confidants unleashed a major traffick jam [at the GWB] that gridlocked ordinary commuters, emergency responders and children on the first day of school." I did not believe that Mr. Christie could be so foolish as to do exactly what he criticized others for when he was U.S. Attorney. Little did I realize that Mr. Christie may have done worse than any previous governor in terms of political retribution. "Christie's Bridge of Sighs.")
"Governor's Christie's People," (Editorial) The New York Times, May 2, 2015, p. A20:
"Mr. Fishman said Friday that no further charges were expected concerning the bridge scheme. Still, many important questions are yet to be answered, especially about other suspicious dealings of senior officials at the dysfunctional and patronage-riddled Port Authority. One is whether David Samson, Mr. Christie's close friend, misused his position as former chairman of the authority for personal or professional gain. In one case, as United Airlines was angling for improvement in its terminal, which is overseen by the authority, the airline began scheduling a flight from Newark to a city close to Mr. Samson's week-end home in South Carolina." ("David Samson Resigns.")
James Risen, "Report Finds Collaboration Over Torture: U.S. Psychology Group Denies Coordinating," The New York Times, May 1, 2015, p. A1. (It appears that the American Psychological Association, which initially denied any collaboration, was lying about the role of psychologists -- who also lied individually -- in collaboration with the Bush administration to bolster ethical and professional justifications for the "secret" use of torture against detainees. This "secrecy" would allow administration officials, through their attorneys, to lie about the use of torture. Much the same may be said of the ABA and AMA, since these professional organizations denied -- then admitted -- their lesser roles in this shameful episode in American history. "American Doctors and Torture" and "American Lawyers and Torture" then "Psychological Torture in the American Legal System" and "On Bullshit.")
