October 31, 2013 at 2:02 P.M. "Halloween Mischief" at NYPL, Morningside Heights branch resulted in a hackers' attack that disabled several computers, prevented me from signing-in at 1:55 P.M., and required me to obtain a temporary permit to use another computer -- one of the few not disabled by these mysterious attacks -- in order to write at all today. ("Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?" and "How censorship works in America.")
The librarians at the Morningside and Inwood branches of the NYPL deserve combat pay and bonuses for engaging with terrorists on a daily basis. They have my sympathy and respect.
October 30, 2013 at 8:56 A.M. It was reported on this morning's "Democracy Now" broadcast that the Cuban Embargo was rejected, again, by the global community at the UN. Only Israel (which cannot vote against the U.S.) joined the U.S. in upholding and continuing the stranglehold on the Cuban people's access to food and other essential items.
The embargo has cost the Cuban economy $1 TRILLION since its inception, impoverished millions, taken lives that might have been saved, limited the intellectual opportunities and access to technology of millions of persons who may have contributed to the growth of knowledge for all of humanity.
So much unnecessary suffering justified, allegedly, by "human rights violations" in a country that has opened its borders to UN human rights assessments and complied with all suggestions for improvements is not only illegal, but evil. I do not know and cannot say when Internet access will be restored to the NYPL computers allowing millions of New Yorkers to regain the opportunity for self-expression on-line.
I cannot send or receive e-mails, no images can be posted here, my writings are plagiarized, censored, suppressed. I am often prevented from writing on-line. This situation is known to the U.S. authorities.
October 29, 2013 at 6:12 P.M. Regrettably, NYPL computers were obstructed, again, from accessing the Internet. This is true not only at Morningside Heights, but also at other library branches. Evidently, "Verizon" experienced "difficulties." I will continue to try to make use of NYPL computers on a daily basis.
Please remember, Mr. Menendez, that I am not the only person using library computers. ("Does Senator Menendez have mafia friends?" and "Is Senator Menendez a Suspect in Mafia-Political Murder in New Jersey?")
October 28, 2013 at 6:39 P.M. Earlier today, at about 1:30 P.M., I attempted to write at NYPL, Morningside Heights branch. All Internet connections were disabled at that branch and, at least, at two other branches of the library. Perhaps all library computers were disabled. Printers were disabled also. It is not known when Internet services can be restored for library patrons -- patrons whose only Internet access is, often, from the public library.
This situation must have been the result of an organized attack by hackers, perhaps persons with political protection aiming to silence me.
Is this acceptable to the NYPD? Mr. Kelly, even Republicans must not get away with such tactics. ("America's Banana Republicans.")
A new Google sign-in sheet that seems not to come from Google was back today at my blogs. This leads me to wonder whether I will be able to continue writing or whether these blogs will be destroyed and I will be silenced. Threats and assaults will not stop me from writing if I am able to regain access to these blogs in the future.
I will attempt to write from public library computers tomorrow. Please remember that, if no alteration of these blogs takes place after two days, it means that I am prevented from writing against my will. I suspect that persons behind these attacks may also be obstructing "Obamacare" sites. ("How censorship works in America" and "More Censorship and Cybercrime.")
October 26, 2013 at 9:52 A.M. I encountered the usual pop-ups and obstructions threatening to prevent me from signing-in, again. I will make use of public computers later today to check on this text and print my work. If more than two days pass without alteration of these blogs, it means that I am prevented from writing against my will. I am grateful for the good wishes of many persons, especially (I hope and believe) of friends in Cuba and in many countries.

Herb Jackson, "Feds Again Raid Top Menendez Donor's Office: Doctor Says It's Retribution for Suit," The New York Times, October 24, 2013, p. A-3.
"Legal problems continue for Senator Bob Menendez's biggest campaign benefactor, as federal agents this week raided an office of Florida eye surgeon Dr. Salomon Melgen that the FBI had already visited once before in January."
Dr. Melgen's frequent trips to the Dominican Republic and/or fondness for young prostitutes (an interest that is, apparently, shared with New Jersey's so-called "Lion of the Senate," Bob Menendez) is not his primary problem with the federal government. ("Menendez Consorts With Underage Prostitutes.")
Dr. Melgen has taken up what is called "The Miami Mambo" -- this is a technique of theft that involves figuring out ways to scam the U.S. government out of money by way of fraudulent claims, perhaps assisted by crooked Cuban-American politicians. ("Cubanazos Pose a Threat to National Security" and "Miami's Cubanoids Protest Against Peace.")
Dr. Melgen who owns an airplane -- as so many South Florida drug dealers do! -- often hosts N.J.'s Senator from Hudson County's Union City, where 14-year-old girls may be "purchased," allegedly, for $500. ("Marilyn Straus Was Right!" and "Diana's Friend Goes to Prison" then "14 Year-Old Girl Goes For $500 in New Jersey.")
Medicare believes that Melgen has engaged in "fraudulent" billing. Is this "ethical," Mr. Menendez? ("New Jersey's Child Sex Industry" and "Is Menendez For Sale?" then "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")
Dr. Melgen has been "cut off" from further payments by the federal government and is, as it were, no longer "on the tit." ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")
Dr. Melgen called his friend (Senator Bob) and possible "employee," and Menendez then asked Medicare for "clarification" concerning the rules they claim Dr. Melgen violated.
Mr. Menendez continues to be the subject of an FBI investigation as well as proceedings before the U.S. Senate's Ethics Committee which the Senator may believe are "fixable," politically or financially.
Essentially, Medicare objects to Dr. Melgen billing a sum much larger than what he is due for services he actually performed and dispensing fewer drugs than what he sought compensation for, or actually obtained, giving rise to the question: "What was Dr. Melgen doing with the residue of the 'undispensed' drugs?"
Medicare has explained that they are against FRAUDULENT billing even when professionals DEFRAUDING the government happen to have politicians as friends or employees. I guess the feds are just a little touchy about things like FRAUD. ("Bribery in Union City, New Jersey" and "Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?" then "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")
"Melgen and Menendez are close friends, and Melgen, his company and his family members[,] contributed more than $950,000 to committees Menendez controlled or that supported his reelection last year."
Dr. Melgen "overbilled" about $9 MILLION for which he is now suing the federal government which sought and has retained the said nine big ones. After all, investing ten percent of your revenue in a politician is not too expensive. ("Does Senator Menendez have mafia friends?" and "Menendez Gets Over on the Feds.")
In exchange for his "contributions" and occasional free trips to the D.R. for a little "fun with the ladies," allegedly, Menendez pressured Medicaid for some "answers" and "clarifications."
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Dr. Melgen still has not received the $9 million smackers that he was hoping his bosom-buddy could procure. ("'Michael Clayton': A Movie Review" and "New Jersey's Politically-Connected Lawyers On the Tit.")
Menendez reimbursed the $59,000 cost of the flights to Santo Domingo and other parts of the D.R. only after he was caught getting a free ride, as it were, even as (it is said) that Menendez failed to pay the Dominican working ladies -- "stiffing" them, in a manner of speaking -- in more ways than one. ("Is Menendez 'For' Human Rights?" and "Menendez Says: Xanadu and You Are Perfect Together!")
"Medicare suspended all payments to Melgen in August because of credible allegations of fraud, according to a letter from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services attached to Melgen's lawsuit. A spokesperson for the federal agency would not comment Wednesday."
