August 27, 2013 at 1:29 P.M. The "new" Google sign-in sheet had been tampered with as I signed-in at NYPL, #1: "How censorship works in America" and "More Censorship and Cybercrime."
There is always a danger that I will be prevented from continuing to write at these blogs. Perhaps my comments concerning Senator Sessions have generated today's difficulties with (or alteration of) the sign-in page. It may be someone's sick sense of humor expressing itself, again, in such sabotage or little games.
August 20, 2013 at 1:20 P.M. Al Jazeera was suddenly unavailable this weekend on my Time/Warner service. On what purports to be that international news channel there are now endless re-runs of classic television shows, like Carol Burnett's old comedy hour.
I wonder whether this is unique to my home? Censorship? Would this not be the time when Al Jazeera would be most useful for American officials to learn from, and be exposed to, in order to determine what is happening on the ground in Egypt or Syria?

Haley Yeager, "Justice Department Sues Texas Over New Voter ID Measures," The Washington Post, August 23, 2013, p. A1. (U.S. electoral rights battle is escalating. Powerful forces in American society do not want another African-American president. Some politicians are doing their best to prevent minorities from voting in any future elections.)
"More NSA Deceptions," (Editorial) The Washington Post, August 23, 2013, p. A19. (U.S. government has made "substantial misrepresentations" concerning the extent of illegal spying on Americans and others throughout the world. Lying? Like the OAE and Mr. Rabner, allegedly, lying about little-old me?)
Eric Holder, "A Crisis for Public Defense: Budget Cuts Have Undermined Federal Defendants' Rights to Adequate Counsel," The Washington Post, August 23, 2013, p. A17. (Without adequate funding there can be no meaningful representation for indigent defendants in the federal system. This means there will be more innocent persons convicted. For some American politicians this will be a welcome development. Senator Sessions, perhaps? I believe that I saw Senator Sessions wearing an unusual sport coat in New York some time ago while looking directly at me. I wonder whether Senator Sessions is "close" to Iliana Ros-Leghtinen or Mr. Rubio and/or has done any "favors" for the Congresswoman or Florida Senator lately? Perhaps Senator Sessions has been of assistance to Bob Menendez? Does Senator Sessions know my name? Or anything about me? If so, when did Senator Sessions first learn about me and from whom did he learn of my little "situation," as they say at the Jersey shore? "Louis C. Taylor Serves 42 Years For a Crime He Did Not Commit.")
John Paul Stevens, "The Court & the Right to Vote: A Dissent," The New York Review of Books, August 15, 2013, p. 37. (Justice Stevens disagrees with the recent voting rights decision handed down by his "brethren." I concur in Justice Stevens' dissent.)
"The Corpses in Syria," (Editorial) The New York Times, August 23, 2013, p. A26. (T.V. audiences are numb to atrocities. No one wants another war in the Middle East, except Repubicans seeking to criticize Mr. Obama as not "tough enough.")
Continuing cyber-warfare at my NYPL computer makes writing difficult today. Sometimes the keyboard sticks or fails to register a letter due to sabotage. I may have to post this text in stages.
Charlie Savage, "N.S.A. Said to Have Paid E-Mail Providers Millions to Cover Costs From Court Ruling," The New York Times, August 24, 2013, p. A16. (Google, MSN, Yahoo were "paid-off" to "cooperate" with NSA illegal surveillance efforts. No wonder I can't send or receive e-mails, nor can I post images on-line.)
K. Lynn, et als., "Hertz Exit Take 550 Jobs From Region: Move to Florida Blamed On Jersey's Cost of Living," The Record, May 8, 2013, p. A-1. (I will show the progressive decline since May, 2013 in Jersey's employment and economic situation in the days ahead. "We're stronger than the storm!")
Rebecca D. O'Brien, "N.J.Searching For Solutions to Rampant Heroin Problem," The Record, May 8, 2013, p. A-1. (In August, 2013 new investigations are focusing on CORRUPTION that allows for a flourishing heroin trade in suburbia. Are N.J. police departments still paid off in drugs? Or is it cash these days, allegedly? Child porn? Are the gambling machines still found in West New York and Union City, New Jersey? "La Bolita"? I hear Bob plays number 7 every week.)
Zach Patberg, "Haledon Man, 20, Accused of Luring Attempt: Went to Girl's School to Meet Her, Police Say," The Record, May 8, 2013, p. L-1. (In the days ahead you will see a partial number of similar incidents only in the northern portion of the state that exceeds occurrences of similar incidents in any single other state, including much larger jurisdictions than New Jersey, allegedly. Perhaps New Jersey is simply "unlucky" when it comes to child molestation; alternatively, it may be that a corrupt power-structure makes it safe and easy to engage in this activity in New Jersey.)
Kibret Marcos, "Jury Selection is Under way For Rabbi Facing Sex Charges," The Record, May 8, 2013, p. L-3. (Conviction for this child molesting rabbi may be followed by additional accusations for others that are quite similar. Mysteriously, the very same persons concerned about child abuse by priests are undisturbed by these accusations involving rabbis? Is police curiosity about child abusing rabbis a statement concerning New York media fascination with child molesting priests?)
"A Haledon man was arrested Tuesday and charged with trying to lure a 13-year-old girl from her school to have sex with him, police said."
It is impossible to believe that the level of child-abuse and child-porn in New Jersey could exist without the "cooperation" of the authorities. ("New Jersey's New Child Sex Crisis.")
Under these circumstances of disgusting proliferation of such filth, to devote police or OAE resources to harassing me (when there is a desperate need to deal with these serious threats to New Jersey's children and rampant drug problems), is grotesque and pervasive incompetence. ("Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?" and "No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!")
Rather than blaming me for pointing out that N.J.'s corruption and incompetence have made the state a failed jurisdiction, where residents are stolen from every day by their own public officials, police may wish to focus their efforts on crime and criminals, even as the OAE may wish to stop obstructing justice, lying, and covering-up in order to tell the truth about my matters. Do you speak to me of ethics, ladies and gentlemen of the bar in New Jersey? ("New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")
"Authorities say AHMET ISLAM, 20, befriended the [13-year-old] student through phone and Internet conversations -- including discussions about meeting to have sex -- before arriving on April 30, to pick her up at ... Christian Academy on Belmont Avenue in Haledon." ("Marilyn Straus Was Right!")
Internet searches in New Jersey allow those interested in children for sex to obtain the services of what purport to be child prostitutes "on demand," like a pizza or a movie from Netflix. ("Is Menendez For Sale?" and "Menendez Consorts With Underage Prostitutes" then "New Jersey's Child Sex Industry.")
I am afraid that north Jersey -- Bergen, Hudson, Passaic Counties -- are among the WORST territories in the country for child sexual exploitation. This is to say nothing of the situation in Atlantic County or Camden that may be just as bad or worse. ("New Jersey Welcomes Child Molesters" and, again, "Marilyn Straus Was Right!" then "Diana's Friend Goes to Prison.")
Children in parts of New Jersey today may be in greater danger than their counterparts in Syria. How do you live with this reality, Mr. Christie? Ms. Buono? ("Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!" and "Jennifer Velez is a Dyke Magnet!")
How about military aid to control New Jersey's corruption, incompetence, drug, gambling, child-porn and -prostitution problems, Mr. Obama? ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")
New Jersey police and other public officials seem to be far more worried about one individual writing about the state's mess than they are concerned about dealing with the mess. ("How censorship works in America.")
I wonder why New Jersey politicians are still trying to silence me? Guilty consciences? Ass covering? ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "Does Senator Menendez have mafia friends?" and "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" then "North Bergen, New Jersey is the Home of La Cosa Nostra.")
The state's problems will not go away if you silence one critic. In a state where the CHIEF JUSTICE can get away with receiving cash "consultation fees" from Solomon Dwek; Senator Menendez is alleged to enjoy the favors of young prostitutes; other public officials are linked to organized crime figures -- can we expect anything different than this new child abuse crisis? I doubt it. Where is the OAE on these matters? ("Sexual Favors For New Jersey Judges" and "New Jersey Supreme Court's Implosion.")
"Rabbi UZI RIVLIN, 65, was arrested ... and charged with fondling two 13-year-old Israeli boys who were staying at his home during an exchange scholarship program that Rivlin had set up. ..."
Two new investigations focusing on alleged misconduct by New Jersey rabbis are said to be in the works in August, 2013. Let us see whether these rabbis soon to be charged, allegedly, and others will speak to us of "ethics." ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "Is America's Legal Ethics a Lie?" then "Legal Ethics Today" and "American Doctors and Torture" finally "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
