N.J.'s Ken Pengitore Terminated at PVSC.

February 5, 2011 at 3:18 P.M. Discovery of newly-inserted "errors" in several essays has caused me to post the following warning and protest:

"A new wave of attacks against these writings has resulted in the removal of letters and/or words from a number of essays that were left alone for a while. I surmise that thugs have been permitted to continue to engage in these tactics as a response to my criticisms of New Jersey's pervasive mafia influence and Cuban-American participation in Garden State corruption. I cannot say how many essays in total have been altered in violation of copyright laws and the U.S. Constitution or how many journalists are aware of this situation but are too frightened to cover the crimes that you are invited to witness."

February 4, 2011 at 10:36 A.M. It took me several hours to reach these blogs after my cable signal was blocked this morning requiring me to reboot my computer. I found that the number of essays accessed overnight was altered from 100 to 300. I cannot say how many "errors" have been inserted in the various writings at this blog or elsewhere. I will try to correct any sabotaged texts as soon as I become aware of the damage. For a discussion of induced-frustration and harassment tactics, see "Roberto Unger's Revolutionary Legal Theory."

I will write at public computers later today. No images can be posted at this blog. My books continue to be suppressed in America. My writings are regularly plagiarized by persons making money from my copyright-protected works. ("What is it like to be plagiarized?" and "How censorship works in America.")

Compare "Race, Sex and Incarceration in America" with Caitlin Flanagan's and Natasha Vargas-Cooper's articles on "Sex and Porn in the Age of the Internet," in The Atlantic Monthly, January/February, 2011, at pp. 87-106. (I wonder whether the persons writing these articles have visited my sites and/or inserted "errors" in my writings.)

"The shakeup of the troubled Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners continued Wednesday with the resignation of the chief financial officer and the termination of five other employees." There seems to be some question concerning whether all public funds can be accounted for, allegedly. Besides this issue, there is the question whether money that is "accounted for" was spent wisely.

"Ken Pengitore, the former mayor of Haledon" -- who denies affiliations with the Calvacante crime family's New Jersey branch -- "resigned from his $163,000-a-year-post as chief financial officer. Pengitore, who was a $37,000-a-year PVSC commissioner until 2008, when he took the job as CFO, had been under fire for having his wife, daughter and son on the payroll."

It is unclear whether each of these persons were only drawing one salary for their respective "efforts." This is the oldest story there is in New Jersey. In Hudson and Union Counties, for example, public jobs in local towns and public entities require loyalty to bosses of various kinds, often kickbacks were extracted from those earning large sums under public contracts. Is or was Mr. Pengitore a lawyer in New Jersey? ("More Problems for Menendez -- Tapes!" and "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")

Pay-to-play was and is the norm -- despite changes in New Jersey's criminal laws -- and notwithstanding public statements to the contrary from (I am not joking!) Jim McGreevey and others. ("Martin Tacetta Didn't Do Nothing!" and "Mafia Influence in New Jersey Law and Politics" then "Da Jersey Code.")

No wonder Christie cancelled that tunnel project. Besides nepotism and cronyism, there are good-old fashioned under the table payments in cash -- some of which have been captured on videotape by the feds -- especially when it comes to favors from county prosecutors or other minor officials, allegedly. ("New Jersey Prosecutors and the Mafia" and "More Mafia Figures Arrested in New Jersey.")

" ... Among the workers terminated were media specialist Vanessa Dominguez-Czaplicki (salary $70,676) and ... specialist John Czaplicki ($89,728). The two are the wife and brother of Carl Czaplicki, a PVSC commissioner whom Governor Christie pressured to resign last week or face ethics charges for nepotism."

Nepotism charges can be brought against officials in most New Jersey municipalities, county prosecutors' offices (Union, Hudson, Bergen are the worst), judiciary, and even the state police. ("Organized Crime Group in New Jersey's State Police" and "New Jersey's KKK Police Shocker.")

"Anthony Ardis of Paterson, the clerk of the OVSC board; Kevin Keogh of Roseland, [probably soon to be an ex-lawyer,] the Superintendent of Special Services; and his assistant Chester Mazza" -- any relation to former Hudson County Commissioner, Luis Mazza? [rumored connections to the Gambinos are denied by one and all] -- "were all terminated Tuesday and charged with official misconduct in the second degree."

If convicted of these offenses, the Jersey Boys are looking at some state time. The rumor on the street is that unidentified prominent politicians -- like Richard J. Codey, Esq. and Bob Menendez, Esq. -- were being "taken care of" by the boys at PVSC. ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" and "Richard J. Codey Immortalized on Canvas in New Jersey.")

Business as usual. More examinations of New Jersey's mafia corruption of the judiciary and politics may be expected as arrests, again, take place in Bergen and Hudson Counties. ("More Trouble for Ridgewood, New Jersey.")
