Voting in North Bergen, New Jersey.

June 21, 2010 at 4:55 P.M. My access to the first ten essays in this blog is obstructed, no images can be posted at these blogs, access to MSN (which I am told has "closed") is denied, I cannot access my e-mails, the true number of hits at these blogs is not known -- perhaps 50,000 to 100,000 hits have probably been received.

Tell your friends in other countries and states about this fascinating situation. I wonder whether New Jersey's OAE can explain these cybercrimes and an obvious conspiracy to violate civil rights? These crimes are grounds for disbarment. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.")

" ... former Hoboken Councilman Michael Schaeffer, who was nabbed in that same sting operation, clearly isn't willing to take the chance, [of challenging the feds,] pleading guilty this week to accepting unlawful cash contributions totaling $15,000 for the campaign of then mayoral candidate Peter Cammarano."

"Schaeffer admitted that the $25,000 in cash payments were in exchange for Cammarano's future official assistance, action, and influence in Hoboken government matters pertaining to anticipated real estate development projects."

How's that big deal in Bayonne, New Jersey? Senator Bob got $30 MILLION from the chump taxpayers -- who are not aware of all that radium and other chemicals in the area, allegedly -- and nothing's happening, huh? Too bad, Bob. Looks like nobody trusts you in Washington, BobbyM. ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")

"Schaeffer also admitted that he wrote checks to Cammarano's campaign fund in order to conceal the origin of the cash."

Some people might call that "corruption." ("Senator Bob Loves Xanadu!" and "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")

"Although Cammarano eventually was elected mayor of Hoboken, he was arrested three weeks after taking office, and resigned a week after that."

Everybody in Hudson County is afraid that by "going against" (how are you, Mr. Arango?) the power-structure or mafia machine, they may become targets for behind-the-back destruction efforts. Cybercrime, perhaps? Lawyers are especially intimidated. Perhaps my story illustrates this theme. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

I wonder why people feel that way? I guess I want everyone to know that I am not going to be intimidated. I am in this struggle for the long haul, boys ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?" and "Is Senator Menendez a Suspect in Mafia-Political Murder in New Jersey?")

"Also arrested in that sting and still awaiting trial is former Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell" -- friend of yours, Alex Booth? Disbarred, Alex? -- "who has close ties to Louis Manzo and his brother Ron Manzo (also charged) and [Mr. Elwell] may stay the course long enough to see what fate has store for them [the Manzo brothers] before he makes his own deal. ..."

The Manzo brothers were often mentioned in the same breath with the Tacetta brothers. I am sure that they are very different persons. How about the Mocco brothers? ("Martin Tacetta Didn't Do Nothing!")

" ... Louis Manzo ... tried to get several charges thrown out against him."

Maybe the Mocco brothers can help since they are quite law-abiding. I think you mean he tried to get several charges against him thrown out.

Mr. Manzo denies Gambino crime family affiliations. Things are getting unpleasant for the mafia in Hudson County. Right, "Big Nicky" Sacco? ("North Bergen is the Home of La Cosa Nostra" and "Federal Investigations in North Nergen, New Jersey.")

"A North Bergen resident says that when she voted in the school board election April 20, [2010] a poll worker not only stepped into the booth with her, but told her who to vote for." ("Jay Romano and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

No, you don't say? That could be election fraud. Election fraud is a crime -- except in New Jersey. ("Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?" and "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")

"According to Lorraine Murphy, she arrived at Lawfor Towers in North Bergen public housing buildings at 6121 Grand Avenue, at 8:35 P.M. that day, 25 minutes before the polls were to close."

"She claims that as she walked into the building, she was surprised to see a poll worker and a voter in front of her leave a booth at the same time ... "

Imagine that, people working for the local political machine at voting booths -- in the same county where dead people vote in droves at every election without assistance -- enter the voting booths and "help" non-English-speaking elderly people to cast their votes.

All of these old people, apparently, end up voting for the Democrat-mafia machine, including the senior Republicans who intended to vote against them. No wonder Bob Menendez always wins. This is a page from the book of that great democrat and liberal, Fulgencio Batista. ("New Jersey is Lucky Luciano's Havana.")

This story allows me to understand how Bob is so popular with the locals. Good old BobbyM visits the grammar school and old people's homes right before the election, then they don't see him again until the next election. What a guy.

Dem guys are a million laughs the way they take care of "their people" -- and themselves! He, heh, heh ...
