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.
