June 3, 2014 at 1:55 P.M. I was unable to make use of Google Chrome, again, at NYPL, Morningside Heights. A number of bogus pages warning of denials of access to my blogs appeared when I accessed my sites. I will attempt to continue using New York Public Library laptops. The new computers seem less secure than what existed previously.
I will attempt to continue writing from private laptops as well. It may be that denials of access to Google Chrome is tied to my library card or, alternatively, I may be able to access the server from another laptop.
Protected hackers may prevent me from writing at any time. A list of further items pertaining, specifically, to New Jersey corruption and incompetence will be added to this text, provided that I am able to continue writing on-line.

Judges and courts, as in New Jersey, "sealed" records to protect G.M. executives and fellow attorneys ignoring the foreseeable deaths of innocent persons. Did New Jersey seek to protect Ms. Poritz and Mr. Rabner, at great risk to innocent persons, by concealing the truth in my matters? Did Ms. Poritz trade judicial favors for lesbian sex?

John Swaine, "Chris Christie Donor's Property Venture Given $106 Million by State After Law Changed," The Guardian, June 2, 2014, "World News," p. 1; http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/02/christie-donor-property-venture-new-jersey
"Chris Christie's New Jersey administration awarded a $105.6 million public subsidy to a property venture involving a close friend of the governor, after state law was amended to enable the project to qualify for the money."
The "close friend" in the spotlight is John Hanson, a lawyer, who has been appointed by Mr. Christie to lead the State Gaming Commission where (as a real estate mogul with many friends in the construction industry) he will have a great deal of influence in deciding what gets built in Atlantic City, especially, and by whom projects are built, or properties are "developed." ("David Samson Resigns.")
New Jersey has a long tradition of corruption in the use of government (meaning the people's) resources to enrich wealthy contributors to politicians, like Mr. Christie, who was elected on the specific promise that this sort of mutual back-scratching in New Jersey politics and government as well as the courts, sadly -- based on affiliations between real estate and construction "leaders" and/or organized crime figures, politicians and/or judges -- would finally end rather than thriving as never before:
"The venture in one of the state's poorest cities, [Paterson,] appears potentially lucrative for the friend John Hanson, a wealthy real estate tycoon who headed the fundraising operations for Christie's election campaigns, chairs a policy commission for the governor, and is a longstanding Republican donor."
Bottom line: Mr. Hanson's firm Hampshire Development Company (through a subsidiary "entity") will end up owning a $53 million office building, basically purchased by N.J. taxpayers forking over 75% of the cost, and then allowing for numerous tax breaks resulting from "monkeying around" with laws designed to help provide employment for poor people while actually helping Mr. Christie's friend(s) to earn $3-to-$5 million from the property, per year, and probably more than doubling that amount after the first 5 years. There will be tax breaks on those earnings as well. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")
The only real employment provided by the venture will be to lawyers and accountants along with engineers and architects, as with numerous Port Authority projects, persons residing in wealthy suburbs, and not poor people living in urban neighborhoods that the law was intended to serve. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")
Mr. Hanson personally donated the maximum under the law of $7,600 to Christie's primary campaign. Mr. Hanson also maxed out his contributions to Mr. Romney's campaigns and the electoral efforts of George W. Bush for a total (allegedly, in each instance of $10,000).
Mr. Hanson may also have arranged for undefined "others" to contribute to the campaigns of Republicans, within New Jersey and nationally, perhaps through family members. ("New Jersey's Politically-Connected Lawyers On the Tit" and "Cement is Gold.")
Mr. Christie's administration now faces questions concerning its $15 million investment of the state's pension funds in a firm where a "donor" (who is unidentified) of $10,000 (not Mr. Hanson) to the New Jersey Republican party "happens" to work. ("New Jersey Pension Funds Are $54 BILLION Short.")
New Jersey is facing almost $2.7 BILLION in deficits over the next 13 months. Mr. Hanson's total personal contributions to Republican candidates in New Jersey and nationally (last year) totaled at least $310,000. ("New Jersey's Lawyers' Ethics Farce" and "Senator Bob Says: 'Xanadu and You Are Perfect Together!'")
This transaction in Passaic County that reeks of sleazy pay-to-play politics, regardless of the technicalities of the law, comes after criticisms and federal investigations of Mr. Christie's "distribution" of Sandy relief funds that improperly excluded poor and middle class eligible residents of New Jersey in favor of Mr. Christie's friends and donors. ("The Teflon Governor" and "Christie's Bridge of Sighs.")
These new allegations are far worse than the GWB scandal because there was, clearly, behind-the-scenes "orchestration" to allow Mr. Hanson and his firm to "qualify" for this program, but also because of the blatant exploitation of government resources for PRIVATE monetary gain. Is this "ethical," Mr. Rabner? OAE?
It is undetermined whether Mr. Christie (through a loyalist) "directed" the approval of Mr. Hanson's project under the altered law, but allegations to this effect have been made in the media, including in The Guardian.
I believe that, if true, these allegations shed light on the GWB scandal and vice versa.
Is anything coming back to Mr. Christie under the table in this matter from the grateful Mr. Hanson?
It is difficult not to ask such questions. This is socialism for the rich and brutal capitalism for the poor. No wonder that Mr. Hanson is now called "the real governor of New Jersey." ("Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")
When Mr. Christie, as U.S. Attorney, spoke of New Jersey's "culture of corruption," he was referring to exactly this kind of abuse that seems to be hunky-dory when his friends are making money:
"According to internal financial projections, the building is expected to bring in revenues of $2.6 MILLION in its first year. This figure is then expected to increase each year." ("You Gotta Pay to Play!")
