October 23, 2012 at 1:45 P.M. A poll taken immediately after the debate in New York found the following results: 87% believe that Mr. Obama won the debate; 10% believe that Mr. Romney won the debate; 3% were undecided. These results were reported on New York 1, Time/Warner, October 23, 2012 at 7:45 A.M., approximately.
I believe that Mr. Obama was, again, the clear winner of the final debate between the major parties' candidates. I am also distressed to realize that this may not matter because of the racial factor in the election. The "race" is still too close to call.
October 22, 2012 at 2:35 P.M. I attempted to sign-in at Computer #2, NYPL, Morningside Heights. That computer was disabled immediately before I could sign-in. As a result I am forced to use a temporary card and pin number. I cannot say whether I will be able to sign-in using my library card tomorrow. I will certainly try to do so. Attempts to prevent me from writing continue, every day. The chair where I sit has been damaged and cannot be raised to a normal level. (The clock in the computer room had to be re-set as it is continually altered causing persons to lose their reservations.)
Shame on you, Mr. Menendez. I am not the only person using library computers.

"NEWARK (AP) -- The informer in New Jersey's biggest sting operation [Solomon Dwek, the Rabbi's Son!] was sentenced to six years in prison by a judge who ignored prosecutors' recommendations to impose a lighter term."
The "rabbi's son" has discovered religion, after setting-up fellow corrupt business persons and politicians in the Graden State. ("44 Persons Arrested in New Jersey Corruption Sting" and "Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?")
It has been suggested that, had Mr. Dwek continued his activities, there would have been no Democrats left unindicted in New Jersey. Among "unindicted co-conspirators" is Senator Robert ("Big Bob") Menendez, allegedly. ("Is Menendez For Sale?" and "Menendez Gets Over On the Feds!")
"The informer, Solomon Dwek, a former real estate investor, pleaded guilty in 2009 in connection with a $50 MILLION bank fraud. [Gilberto Garcia, Esq.?] After his arrest in 2006, Mr. Dwek who is 40, wore a wire for the government and implicated more than 40 defendants."
"Those prosecuted through his cooperation included [sic.] fellow Orthodox Jews, like rabbis who admitted laundering millions of dollars; a Brooklyn man who pleaded guilty to trafficking in human kidneys; and several politicians, including Mayor Peter Camarano, III of Hoboken, New Jersey."
Allegations that Chief Justice Stuart Rabner is personally "connected" (or was affiliated in some way) with these defendants are unconfirmed. ("No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!" and "Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" then "So Black and So Blue in Prison" and "Richard A. Posner On Voluntary Actions and Criminal Responsibility" then "Chief Justice Rabner and the Decline of the New Jersey Supreme Court" and "New Jersey's Unethical Judiciary.")
"Mr. Dwek faced a maximum of 40 years in prison for bank fraud and money laundering." (Mr. Ramon Gonzales? Ms. Kriko? Ms. Nydia Hernandez and Lillian Munoz? Maybe Bob can help you guys out?)
"Judge Jose Linares of United States District Court praised Mr. Dwek's cooperation but declined to reduce his sentence further, because of the seriousness of his crimes."
Mr. Dwek was ordered to pay $22 million in restitution. ("Does Senator Menendez have mafia friends?" and "Is Senator Menendez a Suspect in Mafia-Political Murder in New Jersey.")

The attacks and obstacles to my writing on-line make it impossible for me to know from one day to the next whether I will be able to write further. However, I will do my best to post a list of sources of disgusting corruption, incompetence, dishonesty and other ethical lapses by New Jersey's legal and political establishment in what can only be described as a catastrophically failed jurisdiction, the Garden State.
