More Torture and Murder in New Jersey Jails.

January 25, 2010 at 7:03 P.M. An attack against my security system has paralyzed my scan, the second today. I have received the message to "restart my computer." Anything may happen to prevent me from writing. However, I will continue to struggle to write from public computers in the event that New Jersey destroys my ability to post items from my home computer. If more than 24 hours pass without a change at these blogs, then it means that I have been prevented from accessing the Internet.

January 23, 2010 at 3:57 P.M. "Error" inserted and corrected.

January 23, 2010 at 12:01 P.M. Part of the hypocrisy that many nations find difficult to grasp in America's legal institutions and politics is reflected in the alleged concern with the "free speech" rights of U.S. CORPORATIONS that are allowed to purchase and control access to media as the lone dissenting voice is squashed in our electronic public square. Does this unfairness exist in China? Cuba? How much "free speech" can you buy?

You are witnessing decades of crimes aimed at silencing a dissident -- cyberwar, censorship, suppressions of speech, professional destruction, threats of various kinds, alterations of texts, refusal to circulate or publish books and much worse -- as the nation's public officials lecture to the world about Internet freedom and tolerance of dissent. ("How Censorship Works in America" and "Censorship and Cruelty in New Jersey.")

Compare Adam Liptak, "Justices 5-4, Reject Corporate Campaign Spending Limit," in The New York Times, January 22, 2010, at p. A1 with Mark Landler, "Clinton Makes Case for Internet Freeedom as a Plank of American Foreign Policy," in The New York Times, January 22, 2010, at p. A6 (irony?), then "The Court's Blow to Democracy," (Editorial) in The New York Times, January 22, 2010, at p. A30.

The absurd debate or attempt to "pressure" or "press" China on freedom of speech or Internet issues, as people witness my daily reality, makes us ridiculous as we must approach China with tin-cup in hand to ask for a contribution to operate our government.

We owe China at least $800,000,000,000.00 plus interest. Have we already gone over a trillion dollars in our debt to China? Mark Sandler & Edward Wong, "China Says Clinton Harms Relations With Criticism of Internet Censorship," in The New York Times, January 23, 2010, at p. A4.

Was Ms. Clinton advised by the same "expert" who suggested the "re-set button" tactic in Russia? "We are America's women" was a strong and, perhaps, inaccurate claim by some advisers of Ms. Clinton in the primaries. Are these the people who seek to advise the Secretary of State today? Would such persons condone threats of a first-year undergraduate student within the sanctity of a university setting?

One of my essays has been republished or linked, I believe, presumably with minor editorial revisions: Juan Galis-Menendez, "Experience and Expression: Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Psychology," April 19, 2007, Applied Epistemology, http://www.appliedepistemology.com/shop.php?c=bks&n=15811711&1=0198242557&a=buy&mAll&p=1&x ("A Philosophical Investigation of Ludwig Wittgenstein.")

January 22, 2010 at 2:43 P.M. A full scan of my system revealed that my updating feature was blocked, once again, by New Jersey's hackers. I am attempting to update my protection as I type these words. The on-gain-off-again obstructions of my security system are intended to maximize anxiety as well as frustration-inducement as part of the psychological warfare effort directed against me. Please see "Roberto Unger's Revolutionary Legal Theory" for a discussion of the protocol in these matters. Concerns that Google's network was infiltrated by hackers based in China omit references to infiltrators of my accounts -- including Google and blogger sites -- based in New Jersey. How many Americans are monitored, secretly, when they seek to express opinions on-line?

January 21, 2010 at 2:45 P.M. Earlier today my security updating feature was, again, obstructed. I have just terminated a complete scan. Finally, I was able to update my protection. The harassment seems to be continuing, despite the new governor in the Garden State. I cannot say how many writings have been altered.

"Americans have long known that the government has been running secretive [sic.] immigration prisons into which detainees have frequently disappeared, their grave illnesses and injuries untreated, their fates undisclosed until well after early and unnecessary deaths."

Similar events during Argentina's wave of "disappeared persons" produced a shocked and concerned response from American media sources. These well-known realities cause little disturbance or protest among America's media elites with all exceptions granted. U.S. efforts to cover-up such atrocities are akin to the OAE's disgraceful stonewalling in New Jersey. ("New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

" ... [Washington has been] keeping relatives and lawyers in the dark, deflecting blame, fighting rigorous quality standards, outside oversight and transparency. These deficiencies endure today."

The human suffering resulting from such shameful attempts to evade responsibility are unacceptable:

" ... A detainee with a broken leg killed himself; his pain had been unbearable" -- this was in New Jersey's Bergen County, I believe -- "but never treated, and someone later faked a medication log to show that he had been given Motrin." ("An Open Letter to My Torturers in New Jersey, Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli.")

The most ruthless and inhumane monsters that I have known in the so-called medical profession are "whores of the court" in New Jersey. ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "What is it like to be tortured?")

" ... [An African detainee left] untreated for more than 13 hours [after a skull fracture] was comatose and dying. The officials fretted by phone over how to avoid unflattering publicity." ("Anne Milgram Does It Again.")

This disdain and neglect by American so-called therapists and medical personnel is murder. ("Psychological Torture in the American Legal System.") It borders on the inconceivable that African-American professionals would lend themselves to the ENSLAVEMENT of fellow human beings. ("Freedom for Mumia Abu-Jamal.")

In New Jersey they would have tortured the man to death, slowly, in order to "learn from him," so that he "could contribute to society." Right, Terry Tuchin? How does a Jew become Mengele, Terry? This is an example of what I mean by the "death of affect," an inability to appreciate the moral reality before bureaucrats' eyes. Who wants to talk to me about ethics? ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")

Another man was left with an untreated cancer, while reporters' questions were deflected and "damage control" operations went into high gear. These efforts at obfuscation and cover-up in the Garden State typically involve use of the following tactics: 1) smear the victim in the media and through slanders to family members and friends by fabricating absurd or obscene charges; 2) "deny, deny, deny" regardless of the amount of evidence suggesting otherwise, even if you have to lie on the record to provide "ass cover" for the responsible agency; [Nydia Hernandez, Esq.?] 3) try to make any incriminating evidence disappear, even if this involves altering the record of hearings, making recordings vanish, destroying phone records or transcripts of secretly recorded conversations in attorney offices despite "obstruction of justice" laws. John at the OAE? ("Would you have helped Kitty Genovese?")

The New York Times notes the tactics used by Washington officials come close to New Jersey's slimy standard:

" ... A misleading public relations offensive designed to show that mortality in detention was less serious than it really was."

How is being dead not serious? Is this damaging your career objectives, Nydia? John? Corrupt government agencies are "still resisting adequate outside oversight and the adoption of legally binding detention standards, insisting instead that it can best change its own rules and police itself. The new disclosures about the agency's culture of shameful secrecy do not inspire confidence." (emphasis added, OAE?)
