George E. Norcross, III is the "Boss" of New Jersey's Corrupt Law and Politics.

Hackers have damaged my computer, italics and bold script are "unavailable" as I post this essay.

Bob Ingle & Sandy McClure, "Like Days of Yore Minus the Shining Knights," in "The Soprano State: New Jersey's Culture of Corruption" (New York: St. Martin's Press, 2008), pp. 89-99, et seq.
Adam Liptak, "U.S. Court, a Longtime Beacon, Is Now Guiding Fewer Nations," in The New York Times, September 18, 2008, p. A1. (Global decline in respect for U.S. courts, lawyers, legal system which is widely seen as "corrupt and inept.")


New Jersey's political and legal system -- there's no difference between politics and law in the Garden State! -- is a throwback to an earlier and dirtier era in American life. The "boss" system still holds sway in the putrid turf decorated with refineries and carcinogenic tomato fields that we all know as "The Soprano State." Among the vulgar, cigar-munching bosses, none is more colorful or burdened with fewer scruples, allegedly, than George E. Norcross, III. Norcross also likes to play golf.

Described by Ingle & McClure, roughly, as a "political thug" and "boss," Mr. Norcross governs by intimidation and dangling cash, as what used to be called "bribes," for political runs before opponents. ("You want the money, you do what I say.") If Norcross does not like what a legislator or judge is doing, then he simply gives that person a call and tells him or her "what's what":

"... Norcross explained how he handled a member of the New Jersey legislature. 'I sat him down and said ... Don't fuck with me on this one. ... If you ever do that and I catch you one more time doing it, you're gonna get your fucking balls cut off. He got the message.' ..." (Ingle & McClure, pp. 87-88.)

Judges and Attorney Generals are treated less nicely than legislators by Mr. Norcross, allegedly. One can only speculate concerning the machinations involving Supreme Court justices in Trenton. The "Norcross South Jersey Machine" is said to "have a hook" in Justice Virginia Long, for instance. Perhaps Norcross "has" others on the court in his control. Many judges owe their positions to the Big Boss from Cherry Hill.

No doubt this Norcross influence had something to do with the absurd smear directed at a Latino justice sitting on the Garden State Supreme Court coming out of South Jersey. Stuart Rabner -- who is laughingly called the "Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court" -- is said to be terrified of Norcross. Norcross really calls the shots at the A.G.'s office and throughout the legal system. (See Ingle & McLure's profile.)

I wonder whether my experiences of cybercensorship and cyberstalking are related to the activities of this "Boss"? I suspect so. I have a feeling that we're going to find out.

One N.J. "justice" can make $300 MILLION "disappear," after "handling" a transaction with an obvious conflict of interest and nothing happens -- not to her -- whereas a lot "happened" to the millions in New Jersey unable to pay medical bills because of this scam. The people who got screwed out of health benefits had plenty of questions about Jaynee's ethics in the HIP deal.

I wonder whether some of that $300 MILLION somebody stole in the HIP shenanigans wound up with Norcross? Who knows? Commerce Bank? Perhaps a contribution was deposited in the Democrats' "non-federal" account. ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")

Norcross has been alleged to control or influence the A.G. and other officials in Trenton who give good old George a "heads up," if there's trouble ahead. I suggest that George may be getting a call these days informing him that there is indeed "trouble ahead."

I bet Chris Christie or any U.S. Attorney would love to know where the HIP dough is stashed. Give the U.S. Attorney a call if you have some idea of how things went down in the HIP matter or any other dirty deal with N.J. politicians and lawyers. I am sure that they'd love to hear from ya. It's a funny world in New Jersey. (See "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System," as well as "Jaynee La Vecchia and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

A Norcross man in a typical moment is captured on tape telling "Voorhees Mayor Harry Platt which engineering firm the town was to hire." (Ingle & McClure, pp. 89-90.) Will that engineering firm show its appreciation to the Norcross Machine by way of "contributions"? Are we to believe that Norcross was acting out of the goodness of his heart? What is George's "cut" on the big deals in South Jersey? I know "it depends on who's who, what's what." Have a fruit basket?

Mr. Norcross never graduated from college. I think he was at Rutgers for a semester. He has never been elected to office or held any high governmental position by appointment. George E. Norcross, III is a very wealthy man. Due to George's exemplary moral character (irony?), he serves on the board of a big time bank.

"Norcross was a college freshman dropout who started an insurance brokerage company in 1979 that sold a lot of policies to public agencies and towns" -- controlled by the Democrat politicians loyal to Norcross "family" union contacts and votes -- "often, especially, the ones controlled by Democrats. In 1996, Commerce Bank purchased the company ... Government deposits increased ninefold after Norcross joined the bank. From 1981 to 1993, Commerce's government funds went from 7 percent to 21 percent of deposits. The industrty average is less than 5 percent. ..." (emphasis added)

Not surprisingly,

"Norcross has been good to the bank, and the bank has been good to Norcross, paying him a salary second only to that of bank chairman and founder Vernon Hill II, a marketing genius ... The bank has used T.V. personality Kelly Ripa -- Regis Philbin's sidekick on Live With Regis and Kelly -- in its ads. Ripa's father, Joe, is an elected Camden County official who like all of them got there with the backing of the Norcross machine." (pp. 92-93.) (emphasis added)

This gives Norcross one of many media "connections." No one elected George to any "spot." Hence, Big George has never been accountable to the people, as political and legal power should be in a democracy. What the hell? Through Norcross influence, however, political and legal decisions concerning the placing of public funds -- that's your money -- are used to enhance personal power and influence for Norcross himself as well as his "crew." Norcross may be likened to the character of "Lenny" in the Guy Richie film "Rock-n-Rolla."

This is the man you want to pick judges based on George's vast jurisprudential knowledge. Norcross also has "unofficial" influence and power over police in many South Jersey towns as well as State Troopers. Swastikas? Shrewdly, Norcross gets rid of enemies or local morons by "making them judges." (See "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

Norcross has an impact on your life -- probably for the worse -- if you are unfortunate enough to reside in the land of growing, spreading, foul-smelling lethal tumors as well as fetid swamps called "New Jersey."

I will focus on the Norcross method and style in order to provide a glimpse into the way power really "works" in New Jersey -- which may surprise Governor Jon S. Corzine -- undermining Constitutional guarantees of due process of law and democratic rights to accountability along with the popular mandate -- that is, voters' rights -- in the political disaster that is (and is likely to remain) New Jersey.

The corruption is illustrated in an incident that prompted a U.S. attorney and many others to suggest, publicly, that the New Jersey Attorney General, Peter "See-No-Evil" Harvey, "edited" tape recorded conversations involving or concerning Mr. Norcross in order to shield the "political operator" and "enforcer" from Camden County from federal criminal liability. Ethics? Is this routine for the OAE? Alterations of transcripts of secretly taped conversations violating confidentiality?

Prosecutors or government lawyers in Trenton LIE, manufacture evidence, withhold exculpatory material, fabricate and solicit ethics grievances, use hypnosis-procured materials in violation of privacy and other rights, make use of the "talents" of corrupt physicians and/or therapists to obtain information against persons targeted for destruction by tainted politicians. Did you say something about ethics, Anne?

New Jersey's top law enforcement official was "protecting" the target of a federal criminal investigation, allegedly, then "mischaractrerizing" what he was doing and why -- also allegedly. I wonder whether Mr. Harvey plays a nefarious role in my life-story? I have a feeling we will find out soon enough. Was Anne Milgram protecting Debbie Poritz or Diana Lisa Riccioli from any scandal or investigation that might arise as a result of actions taken against me? Whatta-ya say, Annie?

You wanna talk to me about "ethics," boys? Where's the AG, OAE, DRB? (See "A Letter From the DRB, in New Jersey!" and "Another Letter From the DRB, in New Jersey!") More threats? Have a cookie.

In a sworn statement to a judge, "Guy Emmons" -- a supervising investigator of the Electronics Investigations Unit at the A.G.'s office and presumably an "ethical N.J. attorney" -- stated that "to the best of my knowledge the ... conversation was not recorded." (p. 92.) The conversation in question concerned the pressuring, allegedly, of a public official offered "monetary benefit" for firing a Norcross enemy "Rosenberg" as town "solicitor." (pp. 92-93.)

One of the few honest judges hearing this matter had seen the "Jersey shuffle" before and "wasn't buying it. He told the Trenton A.G.'s office to look again. The second time around, the state's chief law enforcement agency admitted, "contrary to what it had been maintaining, the meeting was videotaped." (pp. 92-93.)

Lying? No ethics charge for lying in a certification to a judge? Shouldn't the entire office be sanctioned? Ethics?

Where are those reports and all audio/video tapes involving me that were secretly recorded and/or filed by Terry Tuchin and/or Diana Lisa Riccioli and/or "others" 1988-today? I am especially interested in any tapes of hypnosis sessions. Forgot fellas? Ever heard of obstruction of justice, Anne Milgram? Stuart Rabner? Debbie? OAE?

"The Office of Government Integrity, [a joke in New Jersey!] a misnamed division of the attorney general's office, investigated the MISSING TAPE and produced a 39 page report, which was kept from the public, supposedly because it contained confidential information." (p. 93.) (emphasis added)

New Jersey's sunshine laws and public access, open file, and other right to know laws were and are breezily ignored by persons with an obligation to obey these same laws and even to enforce them.

Still want to talk to me about "ethics," Stuart Rabner? Naaa ... Badda Bing, Badda Boom. Have a Jersey tomato.

"A blistering letter from [U.S. Attorney] Chris Christie offered a seven-point critique of the state's handling of the case and included allegations of missed opportunities, faulty plea bargains, and a refusal to let federal officials into the case until the state wanted to prevent public release of the tapes." (p. 93.)

The case was deliberately destroyed for federal law enforcement by New Jersey's legal establishment in a breathtaking example of public corruption, like public censorship of Constitutionally protected speech:

".. '[Mr. Christie] was left with a case that was deliberately sandbagged,' ... 'The AG's office is both corrupt and inept." Ibid.

Do you speak to me of ethics in New Jersey's shit-covered legal and political system? Do you still claim to be my intellectual and ethical "superiors," boys and girls?

Chummy "professional colleagues" Anne Milgram, ace Attorney General of New Jersey (isn't she a dyke who protects Debbie?), and Chief Justice and Legal genius Stuart ("call me Stu"!) Rabner were photgraphed in a recent pow-wow scheming to provide mutual ass-covering opportunities. Look out for the feds in Trenton's legal sewer.
