Marcanton Macri, Esq. Arrested For Money Laundering.

April 19, 2012 at 12:34 P.M. The printer at the Inwood library branch has not yet been repaired. Also, the copy card machine is now "out of order." This is so sad for the people who have no alternative to this library branch. Mr. Menendez, I am not the only person who makes use of the New York Public Library. Shame on you, sir.

Spacing between words in sentences and among paragraphs has been affected several times by New Jersey's hackers. I will do my best to make necessary corrections as often as they may be needed. I try to retain copies of the corrected text which makes it surprising to discover "errors" reinserted in these writings. How strange? ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")

April 17, 2012 at 2:05 P.M. Morningside Heights branch of the New York Public Library.

April 16, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. No printer repairs have taken place at the Inwood branch of the library. How sad for this community in Manhattan that people are deprived of these resources. I wonder whether the inability to repair the printer could be related to my presence at this branch of the library? ("Censorship and Cruelty in New Jersey" and "What is it like to be censored in America?")

Karen Sudol, Linh Tat, and Allison Pries, "North Bergen Prosecutor Arrested: Caught in Alleged Money Laundering," in The Record, April 15, 2012, at p. A-1.

"A North Jersey attorney who serves as a municipal prosecutor in North Bergen was arrested Friday night on charges that he helped two large-scale marijuana distributors launder money, according to the Bergen County prosecutor."

Alleged mafia affiliations are denied by Mr. Macri as well as his co-conspirators, I am sure, even as I am equally certain that such allegations have and will be made against this defendant. ("Jay Romano and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

It is said that Mr. Macri was a visitor to my sites and, unwisely, may have attempted to debate philosophical issues with me. I can neither confirm nor deny these rumors. Malbus? ("How censorship works in America.")

Money laundering is a profitable sideline for many attorneys who are usually connected to local politicians -- politicians who do not wish to get their hands dirty. ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?" and "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")

In exchange for favors from "friendly" members of the bar, politicians and "bosses" (Senator Bob, does this ring a bell?) provide protection from the OAE and lucrative municipal appointments that carry health benefits and pension rights. ("New Jersey Pension Funds Are $46 BILLION Short" and "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" then "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.")

How's it going, Ray Gonzales? Mr. Garcia? Ms. Kricko? Mr. Coviello? ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "North Bergen, New Jersey is the Home of the La Cosa Nostra" then, again, "Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")

"Marcanton Macri, 44, of Edgewater" -- who may have "buddied-up" in Municipal Court with Jay Romano -- "was brought into Bergen County Jail at 9:20 P.M. on Friday; he posted $50,000 bail at 10:00 A.M. on Saturday." ("Another Mafia Sweep in New Jersey and Anne Milgram is Clueless" and "44 Arrested in Latest N.J. Corruption Scandal.")

I wonder whether New Jersey Attorney General, allegedly, James Chiesa is also "clueless." Mr. Chiesa is not making many arrests of such shady customers. What's the problem, James? ("Another Mafia Sweep in New Jersey and Anne Milgram, Esq. is Clueless" and "Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")

Luckily (for him), Mr. Macri was able to put up the cash. Fifty thousand dollars in cash was not a problem. IRS?

I am always suspicious when these characters seem to find the money exactly when they need it. Aren't you, Terry Tuchin? Diana Lisa Riccioli? No 10% for this guy? How's "Arnold" doing these days, Mr. Macri, or "Big Nicky" Sacco? ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "New Jersey's Politically Connected Lawyers On the Tit" then "Martin Taceta Didn't Do Nothing!")

The bank connections (stooges) in this matter are also helpful in "covering" real estate deals through front persons, right Nydia Hernandez, Esq. and Lilian Munoz, Esq.? ("Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?" and "Is Senator Menendez a Suspect in Mafia-Political Murder in New Jersey?")

I have reason to believe that Mr. Macri and these Cuban-American ladies have visited my new blog. I also have reason to believe that an effort will be made to prevent me from writing at these blogs. I will face harassment any time that I am on-line. Nevertheless, I will continue to struggle to write, freely, every day. ("Jennifer Velez is a Dyke Magnet!" and "Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!")

"Macri[,] who lives at the St. Moritz" -- a so-called "mob building" in Bergen County, allegedly -- "[a] high rise off George Road in Edgewater, faces charges of money laundering and financial facilitation, Molinelli said." ("Cement is Gold.")

John Molinelli is the Bergen County prosecutor whose interest in this matter is a bit of a surprise and must have been due to "pressure." ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" then "John Molinelli's Ethics Problem.")

It is further alleged that Mr. Macri served on the Hudson and/or Bergen County Legal Ethics Committee, which is understandable since he is typical of the lawyers on those committees. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" then "Herbert Klitzner, Esq.'s Greed and New Jersey's Hypocrisy.")

Co-conspirator Mathew Martin was known on the street as "federali" and drove a vehicle equipped with law enforcement plates. No interrogational hypnosis for him, Terry? ("An Open Letter to My Torturers in New Jersey, Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli" then "Larry Peterson Cleared by DNA.")

New Jersey police often take care of offenders (like these "gentlemen"), who were not subjected to strip searches -- unlike Albert Florence, evidently, whose arrest by mistake for a fee he had already paid provided grounds for strip searches and a week in jail. ("Give Us Free!" and "Driving While Black [DWB] in New Jersey.")

This is where we see New Jersey's hypocrisy, racism, and corruption most vividly on display: Who is "unethical" in the Garden State? Only those who are not members of the political in-group have to worry about the cops or OAE. ("New Jersey's Unethical Judiciary" and, once more, "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

A sad and growing list of additional examples of gross incompetence and dereliction of duties on the part of members of the bar in New Jersey as well as political and other types of corruption will be attached to this essay in the days ahead. An essay examining the Supreme Court's decision in the Albert Florence matter is coming up. ("No More Cover-Ups and Lies Chief Justice Rabner!" and "New Jersey's Unethical Judiciary.")

U.S. Congress Inquiring Into P.A.'s Books.

April 14, 2012 at 12:10 P.M. No change in printer status. Sabotage of this essay is likely to continue.

April 12, 2012 at 1:55 P.M. The printer at my branch of the public library remains unrepaired. I am beginning to suspect that the library's repair persons also work for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. When foreign visitors speak of a society that "does not work any more," they are referring to countless examples of this defective governmental response to a communal need. I do not blame the library because there may be a political explanation for this possibly deliberate neglect of a library branch in a poor neighborhood. If so, then a more severe criticism may be appropriate, but not one aimed at library officials. Of course, this sabotaged printer may be a coincidence. However, I doubt that it's all just luck. ("Bernard Williams and Identity.")

Kate Zernike, "Report Disputes Christie's Basis for Halting Train Tunnel," in The New York Times, April 10, 2012, at p. A18.

"The bi-state agency, [Port Authority,] already the subject of an audit ordered by the governors of New York and New Jersey and increasing scrutiny from lawmakers in both states, would also become the focus of a federal inquiry under a bill approved Wednesday by the U.S. Senate."

Politicians had to find some way to bring the PA within a kind of control or supervision after clear indications of ... "impropriety." Abuses surrounding overtime payments have been common for years, especially among construction professionals at the PA -- allegedly. ("Herbert Klitzner, Esq.'s Greed and New Jersey's Hypocrisy.")

" ... The Port Authority has been criticized as secretive, dysfunctional and unaccountable to the public since raising tolls as much as 50 percent in September. ..." (emphasis added!)

There have also been accusations of disappearing funds and outrageous fees paid to service providers in exchange for kickbacks, possibly, to prominent Democrats in Trenton (Mr. Codey?) who have used the interstate agency as a patronage mill. ("Is Stephen M. Sweeney, Esq. a Liar?")

The PA certainly has served as a cash machine for Democrat bosses for generations and, allegedly, also for the mafia. This may be a redundancy. ("Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics" and "Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")

Seeking to forestall investigators, the PA has made a show of revealing its books. However, there may be more than one set of books. Federal investigators will probably be most interested in the financial books that are not being offered to the public for review. ("North Bergen, New Jersey is the Home of La Cosa Nostra" and "Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?" then "New Jersey is Lucky Luciano's Havana.")

Criticisms of Mr. Christie's cancellation of the tunnel project by Democrat-controlled entities become absurd in light of the PA's history of "mismanagement and corruption," allegedly. ("Richard J. Codey, Esq. Immortalized On Canvas at Taxpayer Expense" and "New Jersey's Legal System is a Whore House!" then "Another Mafia Sweep in New Jersey and Anne Milgram is Clueless!")

Christie cancelled the tunnel project because he expected further thefts of millions of dollars and a tunnel that would remain unfinished, like the Xanadu mall. ("New Jersey's Xanadu Mess!" and "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" then "Cement is Gold.")

"Cancelling the tunnel, then the largest public works project in the nation, helped shape Mr. Christie's profile as ... an enforcer of fiscal discipline in a country drunk on debt."

Mr. Christie's flirtation with corruption and nepotism in his own administration -- anything for his Republican friends! -- as well as the governor's ability to deal with crises (such as my matters) will test the sincerity of his reform efforts and capacity to lead. Mr. Christie must establish his claim to presidential status before a run in 2014. It is widely assumed in Trenton that Mr. Romney "ain't gonna make it." ("Is Christopher Christie 'Mentally Deranged' and a 'Liar'?" and "Christie Attacks New Jersey's Corrupt Judges.")

I hope that Mr. Christie will meet this challenge to his principles as distinct from his rhetoric. The jury is still out on Mr. Christie's sincerity as a "reformer," but not on his ambition as a "politician." ("Capice?" and "Christie Attacks New Jersey's Corrupt Judges.")

New Jersey Rabbi Faces Child Porn Charges.

April 11, 2012 at 1:00 P.M. I am assigned to computer #8 today. This computer seems to have been hacked into. How strange?

April 10, 2012 at 1:35 P.M. The printer at my library branch is still unusable. I was told by a librarian that a work order was put in over a week ago, but that -- for some reason -- workers have not responded within a day or two, as they usually do. No doubt this is only a coincidence. Computer number #8 was also disabled today as a patron was making use of it. Perhaps it was expected that I would be on that computer.

April 7, 2012 at 11:25 A.M. The printer remains unrepaired at my local library branch. I have found other ways of printing my work. I am saddened by the loss to others in the area using this library facility who seem not to trouble the authorities. I hope that future sabotage efforts will be better directed at me and not at others around me. I am sure that, if my library branch were located in other parts of the city (in Mr. Bloomberg's neighborhood perhaps), it would receive greater attention.

April 6, 2012 at 1:00 P.M. An attempt to revise and repost "Abuse and Exploitation of Women in New Jersey" was obstructed. This is content-based censorship, I believe, that can only be accomplished through abuse of governmental authority. The printer at my local library branch is still disabled. The library's computers are also subjected to attacks on a regular basis.

Marlene Naanes & Nick Clunn, "Rabbi Faces Child Porn Allegations," in The Record, March 31, 2012, at p. L-1.

Vicki Hyman, "Not Your Grandma's Passover Seder," in The Star Ledger, April 4, 2012, at p. 35.

New Jersey's continuing claim to fame is as America's child porn capitol, the home of police misconduct and criminality as well as political corruption. ("New Jersey's Child Sex Industry" and "Neil M. Cohen, Esq. and Conduct Unbecoming to the Legislature in New Jersey.")

Unfortunately, there is a Garden State culture of cover-ups and stonewalling in response to allegations of police or judicial misconduct. The same is true with regard to prosecutorial or OAE corruption and/or incompetence, including sexual "peccadillos" by the likes of Deborah T. Poritz and Virginia Long. ("New Jersey Superior Court Judge is a Child Molester" and "New Jersey's Unethical Judiciary" then "Christie Attacks New Jersey's Corrupt Judges" and "Virginia Long's Departure" and "Judges in Bayonne, New Jersey Protect Child Molesters.")

The defendant in the latest scandal involving a rabbi in New Jersey is rumored to be "connected" to Chief Justice Stuart Rabner. Maybe this explains the puff-piece in The Star Ledger intended to distract the public's attention, perhaps, from this loathsome rabbi at this holiday season. ("44 Arrested in Latest New Jersey Corruption Scandal" and "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" then "Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Paul M. Bergrin, Esq. is an Ethical New Jersey Attorney" then "Herbert Klitzner, Esq.'s Greed and New Jersey's Hypocrisy.")

"Rabbi GABRIEL TOLEDO, 50, was arrested Thursday at his home on Pennington Avenue, Passaic. His 22 year-old roomate, who is also charged, had not yet been apprehended by police and is considered a fugitive." (Again: "Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!")

As I prepare a comment on the deeply flawed Albert Florence decision by the U.S. Supreme Court ("Give Us Free!") -- while still struggling against censorship and sabotage -- I find it significant that my most recent essay has been subjected to numerous alterations as efforts to post the work are obstructed. ("How censorship works in America.")

My local library branch seems to attract an unusual number of sabotage efforts from New Jersey. Trenton continues to "obstruct and deny" in response to requests for the truth in my matters. New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE) is dysfunctional and in denial about these increasingly urgent criticisms. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" then "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")

I suspect that the charges against this so-called "orthodox" rabbi will be treated lightly, even by people who are outraged -- loudly and publicly -- by allegations of priests molesting children. ("Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest" and "Jennifer Velez is a Dyke Magnet!")

Given the number of images in the rabbi's possession, it is likely that this child porn was part of a vast business venture that enjoyed political protection for a small fee. Even the mafia stays away from this industry. ("New Jersey's Child Sex Industry" then "Is Menendez For Sale?")

For some reason, this incident will receive little media attention. The accused, if convicted, will probably not go to prison. ("So Black and So Blue in Prison" and "Justice For Mumia Abu-Jamal" then "Richard A. Posner on Voluntary Actions and Criminal Responsibility.")

In contrast, African-Americans charged with crimes will be punished quite severely, even when they happen not to be guilty of any offenses. ("Driving While Black [DWB] in New Jersey" and "Give Us Free!" then "America's Holocaust" and "Freedom For Mumia Abu-Jamal" and "Mumia Abu-Jamal and the Unconstitutionality of the Death Penalty.")

The "good" rabbi arrested in Passaic for child abuse/porn -- unlike Albert Florence arrested, mistakenly, for a paid traffic ticket who was sexually violated and may be harrassed indefinitely -- was not strip searched and his meals were kosher. I am so glad that the rabbi was comfortable during his stay in jail. ("Foucault, Rose, Davis and the Meanings of Prison.")

Paul Fishman (N.J.'s U.S. Attorney) and Stuart Rabner (N.J.'s Chief Justice) see no problem in the discrepancy in treatment afforded to these different defendants and other members of their respective religious, ethnic and/or racial groups in the Garden State. Either of these officials may request a report from a special prosecutor or attorney concerning racism and bias in the state's legal system and make that report public.

A list of additional sources indicating a continuing epidemic of corruption and incompetence in New Jersey's political and judicial system will be attached to this essay in the days ahead, subject to cybercrime and censorship from New Jersey's hackers, while lacking the ability to print the text from the library.

Trayvon Martin is Another Murdered Child.

March 27, 2012 at 1:50 P.M. Yesterday all computers used to access the NYPL catalogue at my local library branch were disabled by hackers. I hope that repairs have now been made. I am not the only person using this library, Senator. "Errors" inserted overnight and not found in my print version of this essay will now be corrected. ("Torture.")

March 23, 2012 at 11:10 A.M. Curiously, the printer at my library branch has been disabled. I will be moving to different branches of the library on alternate days during the forthcoming week and hereafter. I am looking forward to posting sources for my two most recent essays dealing with New Jersey corruption. I have completed a long essay entitled "What is memory?" I hope to find a place to post the work on to the Internet. I have also returned to a short story "Hansel and Gretl." Later this week I hope to post a review of "In Time" from some computer in the city. I will continue to do my best to stay a step or two ahead of New Jersey's hackers. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "How censorship works in America.")

I am grateful for any and all international readers and attention. ("Time to End the Embargo Against Cuba.")

The horrifying spectacle of Trayvon Martin's murder requires a response from persons of conscience.

It is not simply the number of times that we have seen this crime committed against African-American children nor the certain knowledge that one of every three African-American children is likely to end in prison -- or dead -- under circumstances like those that took the life of this brave young man in Florida that offends or disgusts persons from all over the world. ("I Am Sean Bell!" and "Driving While Black [DWB] in New Jersey" then "Give Us Free!")

Perhaps the most offensive aspect of this tragedy is the insult to our intelligence and denial in claims that Mr. Zimmerman was engaged in "self-defense" or took "appropriate action" in killing this innocent child.

Worse is the unseemly post-mortem staining of the victim's character by police leaks concerning the reasons for the boy's suspension from school. To my knowledge, there is no jurisdiction -- not even Florida! -- where suspension from school may result in a death penalty.

The African-American population, or America as a whole, and persons of conscience everywhere are not so stupid or ignorant of this nation's ways to believe for a single moment such lies about "self-defense." ("So Black and So Blue in Prison" and "America's Holocaust.")

Racism is simply part of what America is and must deal with. ("Foucault, Rose, Davis and the Meanings of Prison" and "Justice for Mumia Abu-Jamal.")

Most disappointing and sad is the failure by the local police in Florida to appreciate the insanity of calling themselves "officers of the law" when they see their task not as a matter of protecting all law-abiding citizens, but as conducting a war against the African-American community and/or others resembling or sympathetic to that community.

There may be occasional isolated incidents where this is not true, but New York's Police Department is a vastly more professional and a better force than any I have seen in Florida -- including Miami's police.

Not to arrest the culprit, Mr. Zimmerman, is an unforgivable (if revealing) dereliction of duty on the part of a former police chief who seems not to understand what is meant by law "enforcement." Among the laws which should be enforced are those that prohibit the murder of unarmed children.

Mr. Obama's comments were welcome. Even more welcome is a civil rights investigation which is also desperately needed in my matters involving the corrupt and similar governmental structure in New Jersey. ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "New Jersey's Unethical Judges" then "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

The failure of America's -- not just Florida's -- legal system uncovered in this hideous crime of murder and social indifference is one that I have seen repeated many times. It is a failure that causes a loss of talent and genius for America that is impossible to make up or compensate for: we are bleeding to death on the sidewalks of this nation alongside thousands and even millions of young African-American men and women whose talents are needed by this country. ("America's Holocaust.")

The pain we feel cannot be obscured with the usual distractions and nonsense from Conservative politicians. This matter is not about the right to "self-defense," Mr. Gingrich, and it certainly has to do with race.

RACIST evil resulting in the murder of innocent children must be faced, dealt with, and stopped, today and forever.

P.A. Corruption Results in $63 Million Lost.

March 28, 2012 at 1:45 P.M. Yesterday my profile page was altered to indicate that there were "zero visitors" to my blogs or profile since 2004. Earlier and (again) today, the number of visitors was about 14,000. The correct number, I believe, is over 100,000. I have copied my profile showing these different numbers. No doubt this is a coincidence.

Shawn Boburg, "Bi-State Agency Owes $63 MILLION: Internet Rate Gamble Fell Flat," in The Record, March 10, 2012, at p. A-1.

Jennifer Fermino, "Mob Pals Work Part-Time: Cushy 'Low-Show' Jobs For Mafia Kin and Friends Pay $400G a Year," in The New York Post, March 5, 2012, at p. 7.

Richard Cowen, "Fired Official Got $56,000 Payout After Drug Arrest: Passaic Struck Deal as Workers Lost Jobs," in The Record, March 10, 2012, at p. A-1.

"The Port Authority is set to take a $63 MILLION hit" -- and could lose even more money! -- "on a set of risky and complex investments that agency officials on Friday called an example of ... mismanagement."

" The loss is equal to what the agency spent on infrastructure upgrades to the Lincoln and Holland tunnels last year and comes months after steep toll increases on Hudson River crossings and a scathing audit that branded the [Port Authority] 'dysfunctional.' ..."

This level of incompetence and corruption, allegedly, is forcing taxpayers to pay for all of the mismanagement, waste, and theft. The psychobabble terminology is not fooling anybody.

Worse, none of this theft and waste of public funds would be possible without the assistance of corrupt law firms and attorneys who are politically-connected in New Jersey so as to be beyond reach by the imbeciles at the tainted -- or bribed -- Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE). ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "New Jersey's Politically Connected Lawyers On the Tit" then "Virginia Long's Departure.")

"A small band of longshoremen [and others] -- including relatives of famous mobsters -- were paid for working MORE than 24 hours a day, every day, at the ports of New York and New Jersey. ("Herbert Klitzner, Esq.'s Greed and New Jersey's Hypocrisy" and "44 New Jersey Officials Arrested in Latest Corruption Scandal!")

Allegations of similar "shenanigans" at the Port Authority are still under investigation. No wonder Richard J. Codey, Esq.'s cousin -- as opposed to his indicted brother -- is no longer at the P.A.'s legal department. ("Richard J. Codey, Esq. Immortalized On Canvas at Taxpayer Expense" and "Another Mafia Sweep in New Jersey and Anne Milgram is Clueless.")

"Many of the top earners raked in over $400,000 -- a seemingly impossible-to-achieve amount considering most earn around $30 an hour."

Think of the hundreds of hours per day these "family men" were devoting to their "employment." These dedicated workers often put in hundreds of hours of overtime after these many hours of regular work time. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" and "Cement is Gold" then "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")

True, wise guy expenses may include payments to judges, like Stuart Rabner or Debbie Poritz, and year-round Christmas "gifts" for Bob Menenedez. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?" and "New Jersey Supreme Court's Implosion.")

"Ralph Gigante -- a union shop steward who is supposed to 'make' $36 an hour -- [brought] home $406,659 last year in salary, overtime and bonuses, according to Waterfront Commission records ..."

Amazingly, many of his coworkers and others in the area had never seen or met the man -- allegedly.

"Joseph Colona -- the son-in-law of [Vincent] 'the Chin' Gigante -- is also a top earner. ... "

I bet he is. Colona "makes $401,105 at APM Terminals in New Jersey as a mechanics foreman according to payroll records."

It is unconfirmed whether Mr. Gigante served as "Godfather" for Diana Lisa Riccioli. ("Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics" and "Cement is Gold" then "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" and "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")

"A former Passaic County official who was fired the day after his arrest on drug and drunken-driving charges got a $56,000 severance check from the city."

The Official, Anthony ("Hot Hands") Iacono, will be working as a longshoreman at the Port of Elizabeth in New Jersey on a part-time basis, allegedly, for about $500,000 per year. None of these persons are African-American. ("So Black and So Blue in Prison" and "America's Holocaust.")

Bribery in Union City, New Jersey.

John Petrick, "Clifton Man Faces Charges of Bribery: Contractor Alleged Union City Go-Between," in The Record, March 17, 2012, at p. L-1.

One of the aspects of legal practice for which a law school education does not prepare anyone is the ubiquity of corruption.

The presence of money everywhere in the legal system and what filthy lucre does to people and institutions is not a subject that can be analyzed until one has witnessed the phenomenon up close and personal. Not offering bribes makes one unethical in New Jersey.

I do not mean simply the obvious cash-in-an-envelope for the judge or mayor kind of bribe. The official making a decision affecting one's client -- an official who may be bribed by the opposing side rendering all of one's most effective and valid legal arguments, or the law itself for that matter, pointless -- that official may "belong" to a local politician who must be "taken care of." ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")

Setting aside these unique wrinkles to law practice in New Jersey, there is the acid-like effect of money used to provide one side in litigation with unfair advantages over the other side. The inequalities between litigants are the proverbial elephants in American courtrooms. No one will mention what everyone knows is going on: Money buys outcomes in cases. ("So Black and So Blue in Prison" and "Justice for Mumia Abu-Jamal.")

It is sometimes necessary to "trash" legal proceedings that have become grotesquely unfair in order to avoid giving such proceedings any patina of legitimacy. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.")

"A Clifton man appeared in federal court on a charge that he agreed to give bribes in connection with a zoning board matter." ("Cement is Gold!" and "Jennifer Velez is a Dyke Magnet!")

Any bribes coming to Union City's zoning board or other agencies make their way up the chain of command to Brian Stack, allegedly, and/or to Senator Menendez, who gets to dip his finger in any pies, also allegedly.

Rumors are that prices to purchase a zoning variance that violates the law are a little higher in North Bergen than in Union City. (Again: "Jennifer Velez is a Dyke Magnet!" and "North Bergen, New Jersey is the Home of La Cosa Nostra.")

"BRYANT VENEGAS, 26, a Union City contractor, is charged in a federal complaint with one count of knowingly and corruptly agreeing to give a bribe. Venegas surrendered to the FBI and appeared later that day before U.S. District judge Joseph A. Dickson in Newark on the charge. He was released on $50,000 bond."

I have reason to believe that Federal District Judge Jose Linares will not seek reappointment. Otherwise, I am sure that Senator Menendez would attempt to arrange for his fellow Cuban-American, Mr. Linares, to hear this matter. Cuban American National Foundation, Jose? Doing any favors for the boys? ("Anthony Suarez Goes On Trial" and "Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")

"Venegas was RECORDED by investigators" -- unlike the OAE, the FBI does not alter surreptitious recordings! -- "about his plans to pass cash and other benefits to contacts in Union City government." ("Is Union City, New Jersey Lansky's Whore House?" and "Is New Jersey Lucky Luciano's Havana?")

Will these people in Union City ever be ethical and competent legal professionals? I doubt it.

A list of additional examples of corruption and incompetence in New Jersey's legal and political system will be attached to this essay in the days ahead -- if New Jersey-based cybercrime permits me to continue writing.

Virginia Long's Departure.

March 13, 2012 at 2:10 P.M. Alterations in the spacing of paragraphs and other vandalism may be expected in response to this essay as more arrests take place in New Jersey.

Mary Ann Spoto, "Courtroom Trailblazer Steps Down: [Ms.] Long Among N.J.'s First Female Judges," in The Star Ledger, March 5, 2012, at p. 1.

After commenting on Judge Posner's unusual "reservations" concerning racism in American criminal justice and prisons, it seems fitting to comment on Garden State Supreme Court Justice Virginia Long's "departure" from the bench. ("So Black and So Blue in Prison.")

Ms. Long is approaching age 70, the mandatory retirement age for judges in New Jersey, including Supreme Court justices. Several justices -- including Ms. Long's mentors, Mr. Wilentz and Ms. Poritz -- were granted waivers that allowed them to remain on the bench for additional terms.

Ms. Long opposes the mandatory retirement age and sought such a waiver for herself. In fact, she fought mightlity to remain on the court, only losing the battle at the eleventh hour.

The rumor is that Ms. Long was, politely, shown to the door by Governor Christie. Whether Ms. Long's departure had anything to do with my humble efforts and the growing stench of scandal surrounding my matters and/or "Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest," is an open question. ("New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court" and "New Jersey's Political and Judicial Whores" then "New Jersey's Politically Connected Lawyers On the Tit" and "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")

It may be that persons of an earlier generation found it difficult to acknowledge certain sexual tendencies that are more readily discussed, publicly, today. I certainly understand anger about violations of privacy, but not hypocrisy or sanctimony from self-righteous frauds. ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

Ms. Long, a Republican in Democrat's clothing, has not been a favorite among minority males in the legal profession because she has been plagued throughout her career by allegations of racism as well as anti-immigrant views. ("Racism in New Jersey Courts and Politics" and "Driving While Black [DWB] in New Jersey" then "Give Us Free!")

Regrettably, I am not the sort of person Ms. Long would "deem" to be an intellectual equal. Losing an argument against a "person" like me must not be permitted by the universe, in her judgment, even when it becomes clear that this may indeed have occurred. ("Why I am not an ethical relativist" and "John Finnis and Ethical Cognitivism" then "Derek Parfit's Ethics.")

I am sure that Ms. Long is very nice on a personal level and has a lovely suburban home. No doubt her "manor house" is cared for by gardners, or other servants, with names like mine. Ms. Long's mistake in debating me -- if she, unwisely, attempted such a thing -- is understandable. ("Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" then "Jennifer Velez is a Dyke Magnet!")

The obligatory nice speeches notwithstanding, Ms. Long will never be regarded as a civil libertarian nor a crusader for racial justice. I am sure that Ms. Long has been responsive to "political pressures" on the bench. Furthermore, I have reason to believe that Ms. Long has been part of the stonewalling effort aimed at denying me the truth in my matters in violation of basic principles of law that she claimed to champion from the bench. ("What is it like to be tortured?" and "How censorship works in America" and "Psychological Torture in the American Legal System.")

Perhaps the cover-ups in Trenton are about protecting Ms. Long's friends or (more likely) herself. The Constitutional and statutory requirements concerning disclosure have been ignored in New Jersey for "self-interested" reasons. This self-interest is the opposite of the judicial task of fairness and neutrality designed to result in the application of the same laws and principles to all, equally or alike, regardless of status, wealth, or power. Self-interest may also preclude the just administration of laws envisioned by the federal Constitution. ("New Jersey's Unethical Judiciary" and "Christie Attacks New Jersey's Corrupt Judges.")

Ms. Long has "long" known of and may have cooperated with Trenton's cybercrime and censorship efforts aimed against my blogs and books. This is a more serious issue than failure in debate. For any judge to indulge in criminality -- however sub-human or "object-like" the victim may seem to that judge -- is a betrayal of his or her judicial oath. ("Richard A. Posner on Voluntary Actions and Criminal Responsibility" and "Manifesto For the Unfinished American Revolution" then "How censorship works in America.")

A Supreme Court Justice's fondness for censorship may conflict with her stated views on the First Amendment to the Constitution. How much of what ALL judges write is fiction for public consumption when their private beliefs and secret actions are distant from their so-called legal opinions? Plenty, it seems. ("The Critical Legal Studies Movement" and "Roberto Unger's Revolutionary Legal Theory" and "Foucault, Rose, Davis and the Meanings of Prison" then "America's Holocaust.")

Ms. Long's shameful inconsistencies, apparently, may not affect the journalistic as well as professional tributes that will now pour-in. (""Hypocrisy" and "The Arrogance of Power.")

If the old saying "a fish stinks from the head" is accurate, then Virginia Long, Jaynee LaVecchia, and Stuart Rabner -- hoping to protect Ms. Poritz, possibly -- may bear much of the blame for the tragic and disgusting failures of New Jersey's court system. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!" then "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Jaynee LaVecchia and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

This catastrophe that is the state's legal reality is evident from a casual perusal of the hundreds of essays posted at these blogs that are supported by thousands of sources. (Again: "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")

A list of sources detailing unethical and corrupt developments in New Jersey politics and law will be attached to this essay in the days ahead. ("Neil M. Cohen, Esq. and Conduct unbecoming to the Legislature in New Jersey" and "New Jersey's Child Sex Industry.")

Have you no shame about your complicity in New Jersey's dismal "legal culture of corruption," Ms. Long?

New Jersey's Unethical Judiciary.

Juliet Fletcher, "Courts Are a Fallible Target for Christie: Contempt, Criticism, Come as No Surprise," in The Record, February 20, 2012, at p. A-1.

Tensions between New Jersey's Governor Christopher Christie and lawyers as well as the state's soiled judiciary -- a judiciary stained by continuing allegations of disgusting political corruption -- have escalated. No wonder they want to stop me from writing. ("How censorship works in America" and "Censorship and Cruelty in New Jersey.")

There is much wringing of hands over Mr. Christie's struggle against Stuart Rabner's highly politically-partisan Supreme Court and the state bar association's efforts to undermine political reform efforts at the request of forces which have grown accustomed to the legal system's protection of their power while their enemies are targeted for professional destruction. ("New Jersey's Politically-Connected Lawyers On the Tit" and "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")

"... 'Where we've gotten off the tracks here is that the Supreme Court has acted like a superior branch of government, not a coequal branch of government,' Christie said in April, 2009."

Allegations of bribes -- as well as the assumption of intellectual or moral "superiority" attributed to Mr. Rabner -- in the form of support for appointments to the Superior Court bench in exchange for judges "cooperation" with organized crime and the state's dirty politics have been common for years. Politicians like judges who are indebted to them. ("George E. Norcross, III, is the Boss of New Jersey's Politics and Law.")

Conventional wisdom among lawyers indicated that fifteen to twenty-five thousand dollars in cash would buy you an appointment to the Superior Court bench, after ten years in practice. A little more money would get you past the bar association's evaluations and the OAE's secret so-called "four-way check." I will be delighted to name lawyers who said such things to me.

The primary consideration for approval of judicial performances was and is loyalty to the Democratic machine's "bosses." This may explain why Mr. Menendez has escaped ethics actions or criminal charges. ("Is Menendez For Sale?" and "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" then "Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?" and "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")

"This pattern of politicizing the judicial branch is leading to the loss [of] public trust in the courts" -- New Jersey's judges have lost the right to ask for that trust! -- "says one analyst tracking the issue. And that loss of trust and increased partisanship come at the same time as lawmakers, activists and others try to push the state's policies through the courts to test political ideas to their limit."

As Alexander Hamilton wrote, the courts do not have funding power nor the military means to enforce their rulings. Courts rely on the other branches of government. When courts usurp non-judicial powers by presuming to legislate in areas where they lack expertise, a practice that has plagued the Poritz-Rabner courts (hubris?), the result is catastrophic for the Constitutional balance of powers. I do not believe that Mr. Rabner is intellectually or morally "superior" to other persons. ("New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court" and "New Jersey's Political and Judicial Whores.")

Well-intentioned efforts at social meliorism that have disastrous effects which are harmful to everyone, including the court itself, must be curtailed and the damage must be controlled. Ignoring this situation may be suicidal, Mr. Rabner.

Judges, like Paul De Pascale and his "crony" (Governor Christie's term) Linda Feinberg, both of whom sought to exempt themselves from austerity cuts that affected all public employees, are partisan political operators for corrupt forces in New Jersey and self-interested agents undermining trust in a failed judicial system. Judges in the Garden State are too often unethical and grossly incompetent. ("New Jersey's Political and Judicial Whores" and "New Jersey's Judges Disgrace America.")

" ... Christie repeatedly called Feinberg's rulings 'self-interested.' He also questioned Stuart Rabner's decision to recuse himself from the case, saying he was disappointed and would have preferred Rabner to lead rather than [Poritz "crony"] Virginia Long." ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

Mr. Rabner has tried to protect Deborah T. Poritz, allegedly -- by preventing charges that she traded judicial favors, or made "convenient mistakes," in exchange for lesbian sex -- from reaching a docile media. Is Jill Abramson of the Times a friend of Ms. Poritz or Mr. Rabner? ("New Jersey Supreme Court's Implosion" and "Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest" then "Jennifer Velez is a Dyke Magnet!")

Mr. Rabner's willingness to shelter politically- or otherwise "connected" litigants (Angelo "The Horn" Prisco) and the Chief Justice's behind-the-scenes political activities (Mr. Rabner is well aware of the allegations in these blogs and of the Trenton source of the cybercrime I struggle against) on behalf of influential law firms that, no doubt, show their appreciation during the holidays, must be unacceptable in a Chief Justice of an American jurisdiction.

Mr. Rabner is far from neutral or disinterested in this unseemly PUBLIC spectacle of corruption and cover-ups as regards my matters. Mr. Rabner, your lack of concern for ethics or legality in the system over which you preside is troublesome for all who care about law in America. ("Legal Ethics and Legality" and "No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!")

A list of examples of corruption in New Jersey's political and legal system will be attached to this essay in the days ahead -- I hope -- despite Trenton's cybercrime and censorship.

Have you no sense of decency, Mr. Rabner?

More in Sadness Than in Anger.

February 28, 2012 at 1:25 P.M. Yesterday, I attempted to sign-in after reserving computer number #1 at the New York Public Library (Inwood). I was prevented by a blocking of the library's home page from signing-in. The implication of this "tactic" was that I would be unable to regain access to my blogs if I signed-in. I closed the session with the full 45 minutes left on the reserved time.

Denials of access to the Internet and opportunities to write is more New Jersey censorship, I believe, "induced frustration" as well as anxiety generated in accordance with so-called "psychological torture techniques." ("Torture" and "How censorship works in America.")

I do not know if I will be able to write at this blog from one day to the next. I will try to write on-line every day. If more than two days pass without alteration of these blogs, this silence will not be voluntary. (See my forthcoming essay with sources listed: "New Jersey's Unethical Judges.")

I am not providing my list of unethical judges or criticisms of the Garden State's judiciary, but only quoting and commenting on the statements of Governor Christie and others throughout the country and the world. ("Legal Ethics and Legality" and "New Jersey's Judges Disgrace America.")

I will attempt to create a blog elsewhere on-line -- if I am prevented from writing here -- so that this process of censorship and suppression based on Trenton's cybercrime may begin again. ("New Jersey Supreme Court's Implosion" and "New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court.")

I suggest to Mr. Rabner that he continue to deny any knowledge of this matter for as long as possible. ("No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!" and "Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

"Power is not a means; it is an end. [Terry Tuchin agrees.] ... The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power."

1984, III, 3. ("An Open Letter to My Torturers in New Jersey, Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli" and "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")

Torture.

February 10, 2012 at 2:35 P.M. I am sitting in my home, still in shock, as I write these words on a legal pad.

As I completed my Internet posting earlier today, I was denied the opportunity to regain access to my dashboard at blogger. I believe that hackers using government technology or authority obstructed me when I used the print-feature from the New York Public Library's computer number #5 at the Inwood branch of the library.

This tactic is called "anxiety inducement" and is intended to enhance and aggravate emotional damage or post-traumatic symptoms comparable to the effects of war shock. Persons subjected to daily stress on this scale, over years and decades, coping with long-term damage, are at great risk for severe psychological harm. ("An Open Letter to My Torturers in New Jersey, Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli" and "Psychological Torture in the American Legal System.")

I believe that legal authorities in New Jersey (perhaps also in New York) are aware of and maybe complicit in this situation. Furthermore, efforts to censor my writings are content-based. It is because of my opinions and the facts reported in my texts that may give rise to criminal liability for corrupt Garden State officials that my writings are attacked in this way. Please see Rebeca Lemov, World as Laboratory: Experiments With Mice, Mazes, and Men (New York: Farrar, Starus, Giroux, 2005), pp. 92-106:

" ... an atmosphere of tension and unease (or in its strong form, terror) was considered ideal for learning ... subjects would rather quickly acquire new habits [or new opinions?] through 'trial and error' and 'other goal-seeking' behavior." (emphasis added) then "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "How censorship works in America" then "Dehumanization."

What did they do to you, Marilyn Straus? In addition to Diana Lisa Riccioli, were you, Marilyn Straus, forced into sexual relations or made to engage in sex acts with prominent individuals or lawyers, and/or "others" in New Jersey? ("Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!")

I do not believe that my experiences of censorship and cybercrime while writing on-line are a coincidence. If I am unable to regain access to my blogs, I will attempt to create a new blog elsewhere on-line. I may have to do so, anyway, in order to have a place from which to comment on events in New Jersey or the censorship I still face here, at blogger, for which I do not blame Google. ("Fidel Castro's 'History Will Absolve Me'" and "Time to End the Embargo Against Cuba.")

I cannot receive or send e-mail. I cannot post images on-line. I can never be sure about which of my writings has been plagiarized or stolen, damaged, or suppressed. ("What is it like to be plagiarized?" and "'Brideshead Revisited': A Movie Review.")

I never know from one day to the next whether I will be able to continue writing, on-line, despite the life-or-death nature of writing for me. Maybe that is the goal of the terror tactics, to create a state of constant fear and tension for the victim:

"In 1984 the U.S. and other governments adopted the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment. [Like all treaties, once adopted, this law becomes part of the U.S. Code or federal statutory law.] Article 1 defined torture broadly, as 'any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person,' committed by a public official to obtain information or a confession. [Or for ANY reason.] The Convention was also categorical that there were no circumstances -- even a war against terrorism -- in which torture could be justified, ... ALL acts of torture are treated as criminal offenses. According to Article 4, 'any act by any person which constitutes complicity or participation in torture' is also to be treated as CRIMINAL OFFENSE."
