May 9, 2013 at 1:40 P.M. We live in the age of tortured innocents. Corrupt power preserves its privileged status through the abuse of our loved-ones, children, powerless old people -- all to control opposition.
Fear and violence -- not reason or truth -- are the mechanisms of self-preservation for the "bosses" of this world.
As difficult and painful as it may be, we must endure great suffering for ourselves and on behalf of our loved-ones in order to remain free, dignified, autonomous and "uncontrolled" persons.
I am not nor will I become any kind of slave. No person I love is a slave. I will continue to write from NYPL computers.

"Sen. Bob Menendez promised a year ago while running for reelection that he would donate $18,000 to two charities after a Franklyn Lakes insurance broker [Mr. Bigica] pleaded guilty to using 'straw donors' to make illegal payments to the Senator's campaign." ("Crooked Broker Paid-Off Menendez" and "Bribery in Union City, New Jersey.")
Senator Bob's generosity -- after being caught in a peccadillo -- is rarely "actual" as opposed to the subject of his creative press conferences or interpretations by him or his cohorts.
Has Senator Menendez ordered the cybercrimes and censorship at my blogs? Has Mr. Menendez been aware of the attempts to prevent me from writing at NYPL computers? ("Does Senator Menendez have mafia friends?")
" ... Menendez is not the only candidate from that race to break a promise to get rid of tainted money." ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" and "Is Menendez For Sale?")
Menendez, as usual, explained the lapse as "a difficulty with paperwork." He may ask Dr. Melgen for assistance. ("Menendez Consorts With Underage Prostitutes" and "Menendez Goes to Bat For a Croney.")
Mr. Menendez's opponent in the most recent election -- an election won by Mr. Menendez after massive support from deceased voters, allegedly -- stated: " ... Menendez was trying to benefit from 'ill-gotten gains' because he did not promise to give away ALL the money that came from the [dirty] insurance broker, Joseph Bigica."
Get this:
"In May, 2012 [Mr. Bigica] admitted he steered $98,600 in illegal contributions to an unnamed federal official -- which Menendez's office said was the senator -- between 2005 and 2009. To give more than the legal limit, Bigica paid 19 family members and business associates, who served as 'straw donors.' ..."
Mr. Bigica is only one of several shady contributors to Menendez, who has $1.5 MILLION left over from his campaign funds, perhaps available for trips to the Dominican Republic with Dr. Melgen to visit "young ladies."
From 1997 to 2004, Menendez received $159,000 from apartment magnate Charles Kushner" -- friend of "Dr." Tuchin's? -- "before Kushner pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns, lying to the Federal Election Commission and trying to retaliate against his sister for cooperating with federal investigators." ("Herbert Klitzner, Esq.'s Greed and New Jersey's Hypocrisy" and "Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?")
Alleged cash contributions received by Menendez cannot be counted, even when they are made by "professional gamblers." (Again: "Is Menendez For Sale?" and "Menendez Gets Over On the Feds!")
Mr. Menendez continues to be accused of "links" to Cuban-American organized crime figures involved in child porn and drug offenses who are "prominent" in New Jersey power-circles. ("New Jersey's Child Sex Industry" and "Is Senator Menendez a Suspect in Mafia Political Murder in New Jersey?")
Is Mr. Menendez's concern with "ethics" only a "mischaracterization"? Is Senator Menendez the best Chairperson for the United States Senate's Foreign Relations Committee or to lecture to other nations about human rights and ethics in their societies?
A list of sources will be attached to this essay in the days ahead.
