"Thought Crime is Death."
September 22, 2010 at 9:33 P.M. A breaking scandal that calls for federal investigation concerns conflicts of interest and "pay-to-play" allegations against many of New Jersey's "politically-connected" law firms, allegedly, kicking back to politicians and vice versa. No wonder I have experienced so many attacks on my computer and "error" insertions. "Nancy?"
This time the pot concerns over $400 MILLION in total. These scam artists and shysters are among my so-called "ethical superiors" now looking at possible federal indictments. Jeff Pillets, Stephanie Akin, Michael Gartland, and John Reitmeyer, "Lending Agency Pays Big: Millions Go to Politically Connected Contractors," in The Record, September 22, 2010, at p. A-1. (Many recipients of your money are NJ lawyers not investigated by the OAE because of their political connections.)
Jim Florio, Esq., Jim McGreevey, Esq., former AG, David Sampson, Esq., Paul Fader, Esq. former Chief Counsel to Jim McGreevey, Joel Leyner, Esq., Joe Ferreiro, Esq., and Dennis Oury, Esq. -- all were "on the tit," as they say in Trenton, and probably taking care of Stuart Rabner and other judges or politicians. Everybody denies mafia affiliations, even Joe Ferreiro.
These are New Jersey's "ethical" attorneys making political contributions and getting no-bid legal work. No oversight or adequate audits were taking place. I wonder whether Brownstein, Booth, & Barry, Esqs. were in on this little shin-dig at Bergen County's BCIA? A detailed discussion of these matters is coming up, along with several new breaking political scandals involving more theft by the Democrat mob in the Garden State.
I wonder whether Appellate Division Judge Ariel Rodriguez is still "buddy-buddy" with Joel Leyner, Esq.? Maybe Ariel Rodriguez (Republican) was hoping to make money when he retired from the bench at the slimy offices of Chasan, Leyner, and Lamparello, Esqs. I hope I have not spoiled your plans, guys. More on Jose Linares, Esq. -- now a federal District Court judge -- and several other New Jersey judges is coming up. You're gonna love it. ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")
This is probably when you should insert an "error" in this essay.
To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone -- to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone:
From the Age of Uniformity, from the Age of Solitude, from the Age of Big Brother, from the Age of Double Think -- greetings!

Several attacks and obstructions of my security system and writings may have resulted in the usual infliction of damage on these words and their author. I have found it necessary to restart my computer several times in coping with cybercrime. I am accustomed to this experience. I will continue to write. ("What is it like to be tortured?")
The effort to destroy this computer will not prevent my access to these blogs from public computers. It is necessary to say this and -- as uncomfortable or difficult as it may be to witness this cruelty -- it is even more crucial that readers from many places in the world share in this experience with me, observe this evil in action. This is what America's "Soprano State" has become. The question now is whether this fraud is spreading to the national government.
The impatience of powerful, ruthless, and ignorant persons and their efforts to cope with complexity through brutality reveals a strange pathos in fascism and organized crime. One pities a person unable to express or absorb profound thoughts and, thus, driven to hatred of thinkers and students of such thoughts.
At issue in this continuing war against censorship on the part of one very powerless individual at these blogs -- maybe in my life as well -- is the struggle between what our Republican friends call "freedom" versus "terrorism." ("Civilization and Terrorism" and "Would you have helped Katherine 'Kitty' Genovese?")
I demand my freedom. The Right-wing Cuban-American "brigades" -- still storming the beautiful beaches at the Bay of Pigs -- and New Jersey's mafia soldiers make use of terror to prevent criticisms and get their way in politics. There is an old partnership between organized crime and fascism, extremists on the American Right and their Cuban-American plumbers. ("Godfather, II.")
If we give in to terror tactics or "appeasement," if we surrender to any kind of intimidation, then we can be sure that the "cyber"-terrorists will win. We can then be positive that we will have a lot more terrorism in the future. For this reason, Israel (correctly) will not negotiate with terrorists. My free speech rights are not negotiable. ("What is it like to be censored in America?")
The first step in civilized discourse is to abandon terrorism, attempts to destroy your adversaries' means of communication and/or expression, or all mechanisms of civilized debate. The beginning of real peace in Israel/Palestine is the absolute prohibition of violence or terrorism by Hamas and all Palestinian factions. Israel, I am sure, will make the same commitment.
The beginning of U.S. negotiations with Cuba must involve an end to bombings and agreement to submit persons guilty of terrorism against civilians to appropriate legal proceedings. Let us demonstrate a commitment to human rights equal to what we ask of others. Please close the Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib concentration camps, Mr. Obama. ("American Hypocrisy and Luis Posada Carriles" and "Is Senator Bob 'For' Human Rights?")
Brutality is not an argument.
Violence is a confession of intellectual bankruptcy.
Censorship is the tactic of the fearful.
Insertions of "errors" in my writings will hurt you more than me, New Jersey.
I understand that every society has militant extremists, fascists, totalitarians of all kinds. I do not understand the guilty bystanders to atrocity. Persons acquiescing in and cooperating with evil together with the violation of laws is something utterly new in American politics and life. ("A Killing in New Jersey's House of Healing" and "Judges Protect Child Molesters in Bayonne, New Jersey.")
If these levels of public censorship as well as computer crime continue to go unpunished, Mr. Christie, after decades of tortures -- even when they take place publicly! -- then our Constitution is lost and the home-grown terrorists have won. ("Manifesto for the Unfinished American Revolution.")
The updating feature of my security system has been blocked. I will try to update my system later. Nothing I do will prevent attacks on my writings as long as one American state permits them to take place or does nothing about public criminality when it does take place.
I can only hope that many persons in the world see this display of our so-called "sincerity" in protecting freedom of speech and commitment to copyright laws. ("How Censorship Works in America" and "What is it like to be censored in America.")
As for the person doing such evil actions, he or she is pathetically trapped within a mind and context so weighed down with dogma and ideology, worship of science, hatred of men, envy, and greed, also lust for power, as to inspire pity and revulsion in equal parts from victims and international observers:
The remarkable thing about the Spanish war -- about all ideological wars, I suppose -- was the fiery single-mindedness, not to say simple-mindedness, that it produced in otherwise quite sophisticated people. All doubts were banished, Moloch and the Popular Front were the children in white who the West was offering to the fiend in heartless and craven sacrifice.
John Banville, The Untouchable (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1997), p. 98.
The world is a little more complex than your trendy ideologies indicate. No human being is reducible to a fashionable political platitude. I am not something that you can control or enslave. I will spend every day for the rest of my life urinating down the throat of New Jersey's disgusting legal system. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")
