New Jersey's Mafia Lawyers Steal Pension Funds.

May 26, 2010 at 8:43 P.M. "Errors" inserted and corrected since this afternoon. Ken Zisa has been arrested on a second set of charges, along with another police officer in Hackensack. Similar troubles involving corrupt police have erupted in Cliffside Park, New Jersey. More mafia trials are scheduled for the immediate future. More lawyers and judges are in trouble in New Jersey. I will be commenting on these matters in future essays.

May 26, 2010 at 9:31 P.M. Mr. Christie, was sadly silent tonight during a PBS call-in program concerning my requests for information, although N.J.'s governor did indicate that his "office will respond to inquiries" which is an encouraging sign. I will believe it when I see it, Mr. Christie. For now the spin masters have to figure out how to create the necessary smoke screen to cover-up twenty-one years of crime by Trenton's bosses.

I am told that my blogs are popular in Cuba and elsewhere in the world. If this is true, then I am very happy to hear it. U.S. corporate media remains silent. Please visit the "World Can't Wait" web site, donate, help to defend human rights for all persons, including U.S. detainees. I have nothing to do with this organization, other than providing support. I will benefit, financially, in no way from any donations. http://worldcantwait.com (I also "can't wait," Mr. Christie.)

May 26, 2010 at 11:46 A.M. Several new disasters are looming on the horizon in New Jersey, including additional F.B.I. investigations, allegedly.

Lisa Fleisher & Claire Heininger, "State's Revenue Shortfall Widens: Bulk of $767 Million Gap Must be Fixed by July," in The Record, May 25, 2010, at p. A1. (A lot more pain coming to New Jersey thanks to years of mafia theft under Democrats.)

(Efforts are underway to recall Menendez from the U.S. Senate where he must be an embarassment to the nation. However you may feel about Tea Party candidates and issues, I hope they succeed in recalling Menendez.) "Pensions, Pensions: Investigate Possible Abuse by Lawyers," (Editorial) in The Record, May 25, 2010, p. A-10. (N.J. lawyers -- many of whom are probably ethics officials and judges connected to the power structure in Trenton -- are abusing the pension system and stealing taxpayer funds. How many of these lawyers collecting pensions are names from gravestones?)

New Jersey is beyond an embarassment for America. The daily chronicle of N.J.'s horrors has become so routine that readers of newspapers are numbed to humiliation, anger, and pain at living in a state that has become a byword for corruption and analogous to cancer for persons everywhere in the world. No one wants to admit living in New Jersey.

The state's fiscal troubles have worsened and now appear much more dire than anyone anticipated. This financial catastrophe is the direct result of decades of theft by the various mafia families affiliated, primarily, with Garden State Democrats but also with some Republicans. New Jersey's corruption problem has produced a crisis.

"New Jersey's budget picture is getting even uglier, with a projected $767 MILLION shortfall over the next 13 months, according to figures to be released today."

"An internal memo shows the bulk of the problem -- $402 MILLION, driven by a steep drop-off in income tax collections -- must be dealt with before the current fiscal year ends June 30."

People and employers are leaving the state and this decreases the tax base. Things are declining steadily accross the board:

"The state is also projected to bring in $365 MILLION less than Governor Christie forecast in his already austere $29.3 BILLION budget proposal for next year, according to the memo by the non-partisan Office of Legislative Services."

This will mean residents of New Jersey will lose jobs, benefits, homes and medical coverage as well as savings. This is to say nothing of the loss of necessary public benefits for the old and sick. Sadly, the pain will be greatest for those with the least resources or capacity to cope with such suffering and further losses:

"The falloff in revenues is likely to force further cutbacks, even as Christie has already proposed slashing funding for schools, towns and property tax rebates."

Nowhere is this dismal and desperate waste and pain more evident than in the state's declining education system where resources are already strained. Teachers are losing their jobs, technology is absent and unreplaced where it is available, libraries lack funding, support staff is often non-existent, and pension funds are seriously jeopardized for teachers working in the system over decades.

Yet corruption and blatant theft continues to be routine. Greed on the part of the highly political teachers' union leadership -- affiliated with the Democrats -- is leading to job losses and suffering by students.

Cops and firefighters are seeing their pension funds raided by politicians. Many of these workers will also lose their jobs. Blue collar workers will find it difficult to locate new job opportunities in the area.

Worse, a nasty scandal is brewing suggesting that mob- and politically-connected lawyers in New Jersey -- including members of the bribed and inept judiciary and tainted legal ethics establishment serving the big bosses -- are finagling obscenely out-of-proportion pension funds:

" ... Jeff Pillets' front page report Monday on possible pension abuse was one more sobering peek into the money pit New Jersey's state pension system has become, and a disturbing examination of how it may take years, if not decades, to flush out all its tangled deceptions."

How much do they "kickback" to the bosses? ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.") Many lawyers I knew explained that they did work for municipalities to get in on the state pensions. I will be happy to name those lawyers.

"The focus of the story was an age-old and popular pension game that has been played and perfected over the years, this one, specifically, concerning lawyers who have been hired as employees by towns or other local government agencies while maintaining their private practices. As reported by The Record [sic.] a dozen of these attorneys are now under investigation by the state's Treasury Department."

This investigation by Treasury officials is said to be at the request of the new Republican governor who, wisely, has bypassed Trenton's corrupt Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE), which would immediately call the political and judicial brass to undermine any investigation in order to allow the big lawyers to stay "on the tit."

This charming term ("on the tit") was used by New Jersey lawyers and municipal officials whom I will be delighted to name. Some are now judges whose views of African-Americans will form the subject of future essays.

Additional essays focusing on exploding and related mafia investigations will appear at these blogs over the next few days and weeks. Soon I will argue that New Jersey's child porn epidemic continues to spread. The powers-that-be will continue to vandalize and censor these writings, while planning to deny me access to the Internet. At any time, I may be prevented from writing further about these matters. You decide whether we are still committed to freedom of speech.

"Any remedy to the long-standing habit of using the public pension system as part of the political merry-go-round would be welcome, and would help restore residents' faith in government." (emphasis added)

Faith in government or in New Jersey's absurdly corrupt state judicial system is long gone.

New Jersey is a sickening example of the perversions of greed, child-exploitation, mafia control of political institutions, bribed and crime-affiliated politicians and judges, out-of-control polluters creating environmental Disneyworlds for carcinogens taking the lives of your family members, often slowly and painfully. Corruption and cancer will "destroy everything you love in New Jersey." ("New Jersey's Mafia Culture in Law and Politics" and "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")

The sufferings of your family members must be placed at the doorstep of New Jersey's failed mafia-Democrat machine which has brought the aptly-named "Soprano State" to the edge of self-destruction. Federal law enforcement assistance is desperately needed in a sad place laughably called, "the Garden State."

Have you no sense of your responsibility for this nightmare, Mr. Rabner? Ms. Poritz? Ms. Milgram? Ms. Dow? ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")
