Ridgewood Poisons, Union City Fire, More Corruption.

At least two attorneys are rumored to be looking into a suspicious fire in Union City, allegedly resulting from failures to abide by the fire code that may have been ignored by bribed inspectors and other local officials. ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?" and "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")

There is no way, observers say, that this fire could have spread so quickly or done so much damage had all of the legally required smoke detectors along with other fire prevention and containment provisions/technologies mandated by law been in place.

Also mandated by law are regular inspections which either did not take place or were made irrelevant by corruption. The result is massive loss of property and injury to many persons. I have been told by persons who should know -- including a former local commissioner -- that a hundred dollar bill would induce amnesia in local fire inspectors. For two hundred dollars, allegedly and reputedly, the Union City fire inspector will probably set the fire for you so you can collect from the insurance company of your choice.

Whatta-ya say, Bob? Speculation is widespread that Senator Menendez receives a portion (i.e., a "cut") on all "fees" concerning "inspections" that "go away" in Union City, New Jersey.

Can you shed any light on this mystery, Senator Bob? ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "Is Senator Menendez a Suspect in Mafia-Political Murder in New Jersey?")

"UNION CITY -- Union City officials say [there was] a fast-moving fire that destroyed two apartment buildings and several vehicles" -- so-called "Jewish Lightning," Bob? -- "on Sunday."

I wonder who really owns this property? Also, who is listed on the deeds? Not the same person or entity? Maybe this was "Cuban-American lightning"?

Incidentally, this terminology "Jewish Lightning" for suspicious fires is used by New Jersey lawyers on a regular basis. I will be happy to name lawyers who used the expression, if necessary, including some who are now distinguished members of the judiciary. I will be delighted to discuss other charming expressions used by New Jersey state and federal judges.

"The fire, which displaced about 50 people, produced thick, black smoke that could be seen for miles."

"No residents were hurt, but six firefighters were treated at the scene for minor injuries."

"The blaze broke out" -- without smoke alarm warnings for some mysterious reason? -- "about 11 a.m. on Palisades Avenue, apparently inside or near one of the apartment buildings."

Allegedly, a number of the victims who lost everything happen to be unemployed and, if the latest statistics are to be believed, will remain unemployed for some time to come. A few of the victims are over fifty.

I am sure this is all a million laughs for those poor people, whose taxes went to pay for the non-existent Xanadu mall that only cost N.J. taxpayers and investors $2 BILLION. ("Senator Bob Loves Xanadu!")

There is a lot of lethal chromium in Union City foundations -- as well as other alleged carcinogens -- which will probably be enhanced or disseminated by this fire. Right, "BobbyM"? How's Mr. Prisco doing, Bob? ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

"Dozens of firefighters contended with the smoke as flames shot out of the buildings, but the fire was contained by 1:30 p.m. and brought under control a short time later, though it continued to smolder for a few hours."

The cover-up machinery has already kicked-in:

"The cause of the blaze was not immediately clear, [Jersey City] Fire Director ARMANDO ROMAN said. [Menendez man?]"

Toxic substances may also explain why dozens of fish died at the Wild Duck Pond in Ridgewood, New Jersey. These substances may be in the local soil and water. My theory is that the fish died of boredom.

"Bergen County officials ruled out some possible causes for the fish kill, including low oxygen levels in the water. The county Health Department conducted tests on the water and found oxygen levels to be fine, said Peter Both, [sic.] manager of the Bergen County Environmental Center in Wyckoff."

This being New Jersey, officials at the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office are looking into the possibility that at least some of the dead fish may have been connected to the Luchese crime family. None of these dead fish was called "Wanda." ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")
