"And yet, it Moves."

March 12, 2011 at 3:57 P.M. A single letter was added to a word since my previous review of this work. I have now corrected this inserted "error."

March 10, 2011 at 6:25 P.M. One letter was removed from a sentence since my previous review of this work. I have now corrected this inserted "error."
March 8, 2011 at 7:03 P.M. "Errors" inserted since my previous review were corrected from a public computer tonight.
March 7, 2011 at 3:41 P.M. "Errors" inserted and corrected, again. ("Roberto Unger's Revolutionary Legal Theory.")

March 5, 2011 at 10:11 A.M. "Errors" inserted overnight will now be corrected.
March 4, 2011 at 3:05 P.M. From a public computer: My home computer was turned off from a remote location due to an interference with my cable signal. I am so shocked that such a thing can occur in America. I feel that these unpleasant experiences are beginning to affect my "chi." ("More Censorship and Cybercrime" and "God is Texting Me!")

March 4, 2011 at 12:16 P.M. My computer's cable signal was blocked and my computer was turned off as I attempted to correct an inserted "error" in the spacing of one of my writings. I cannot say how many other writings have been violated this morning. "Errors" inserted in "Not One More Victim" were also corrected.
Typically, this is usually accompanied by obstructions to my Internet access designed to instill a sense of hopelessness in victims. I guess most people going through hell to write every day would just give up. I do not think these tactics will work with me. I will continue to write from public computers. I will do my best to correct the "errors" inserted this morning in my works. ("Will Governor Christie End the Nightmare?")

March 4, 2011 at 9:02 A.M. One "error" inserted overnight has been corrected. "And yet, it moves ..." -- Galileo. (Referring to the sun and not the earth -- against the wishes of the Inquisition.)
My home computer was turned off today as I attempted to write and post revisions to my essay "Mind and Machine." It is my opinion that the objections stated in my essay are definitive in terms of undermining the value or summary provided in Mr. Christian's interesting article in The Atlantic Monthly.
By my count, the revisions and supplemental sources added to this essay have been obstructed a total of seven times from my home, and once from a public computer -- so far. There may be other obstructions, plagiarisms, censorship to deal with in connection with these writings.
I am sure that American officials are not only aware of these crimes, but they have witnessed these criminal violations of human rights and taken no action to arrest persons responsible for these offenses. Apathy from law enforcement is only possible with political protection from corrupt politicians. ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")
Frustrations are meant to discourage writing efforts by me in order to inflict further psychological or emotional harm on a tortured dissident while covering-up great atrocities committed in this matter. Mr. Torricelli, can you explain what is going here? ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")

I will continue to write. This experience may be helpful to me in illustrating the criticisms that I have offered in these writings of abuse of power in New Jersey and elsewhere. I believe that the persons engaging in these censorship efforts are relying on a flawed and evil understanding of human nature that allows for cruel mistreatment of persons in order to control or enslave them, so that they will obey orders. I am not the kind of person who is good at obeying orders.
Humans will never accept slavery in America, Pakistan, Cuba or anywhere. "Persons" -- unlike corporations -- insist on dignity and freedom as well as autonomy. Given my public experience of censorship, plagiarism and worse, it is difficult for me to believe that America continues to protect freedom of speech for non-corporate persons. ("What is it like to be censored in America?" and "How censorship works in America.")
Efforts at conditioning persons -- who are treated like laboratory animals -- will fail everywhere. Perhaps this is one of the lessons of our current experiences in Pakistan, certainly it is the lesson of the last forty-some odd years of relations with Cuba's Revolutionary government. ("Fidel Castro's 'History Will Absolve Me.'")
" ... at least 500,000 children under age five who died during the sanctions period would not have died under the Iraqui regime prior to sanctions. Prior to the 2003 war on Iraq, UN agencies warned that 25 percent of Iraqui children were so severely malnourished that intervention of food accesss would put their lives at risk. What does this signify? ..."

Among the items denied to Iraq's people -- including sick children and old people -- were cancer treatment drugs and antibiotics. American efforts to control Iraq have resulted in approximately one to two million civilian and military deaths in Iraq as of 2011, after the two wars and their aftermath. This is to say nothing of Afghanistan or Pakistan. The repercussions of these holocaust-like evils are being seen in Egypt and elsewhere in the Islamic world, like Syria, Yemen, possibly Saudi Arabia. ("On Obama's Secret Service.")
Concerning established combinations of sensory deprivation, frustrations, stigmatizing, insults, threats, starvation, physical abuse, sexual violation, and self-inflicted pain in C.I.A. behaviorist methods aimed at "normalizing" or controlling persons, like me, please see: Alfred W. McCoy, A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation From the Cold War to the War on Terror (New York: Henry Holt, 2006), p. 127 and David Cole, Guantanamo (New York: The Nation, 2004), p. 42. ("Candid U.S. personnel will admit that the scale of this injustice is ... staggering.")
This is a matter of greater concern to the world than Charlie Sheen's love-life. American media is not covering the story because these horrors embarass our government. I believe that these are the stories that we should cover in our globally-dominant media. (Another "error" was inserted in the foregoing sentence and corrected.)
No wonder China has decided to create a global English-language news service. ("The Experiments in Guatemala" and "John Rawls and Justice.")

Everybody's On the Take in New Jersey.

March 3, 2011 at 12:47 P.M. Efforts to add scholarly sources, including Lisa Randall and William Barett, to my essay "Mind and Machine" were blocked. I believe some of the new scholarly works were added to the text, but not others. Future revisions will be made from public computers. "Errors" inserted in the essay below since this morning will now be corrected. I will try to repost the "Mind and Machine" essay.

March 3, 2011 at 10:43 A.M. Intense computer attacks have damaged several essays and prevented me from posting revisions. I will struggle to write from multiple public computers later today.

Richard Cowen, "Still No Control Over Payroll," in The Record, March 1, 2011, at p. A-1.

"Labor costs inflated by millions of dollars in overtime and other generous pay perks have remained a persistent fact of life at the Passaic Valley Water Commission, [PVWC] even though the agency paid a consultant $35,000 to help bring them under control."

"Concerned that the public utility was spending too much on labor -- including more than $1 million a year in overtime -- the seven commissioners hired the consultant in 2008 to attempt to restructure the utility."

Many observers believe that a small portion of the overtime is actually needed or performed by those receiving the excess compensation. In other American states these wasteful practices are called "thefts" from the public treasury. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey's Politically Connected Lawyers On the Tit.")

"Peter Engel of the firm of Leaf, Staltzman, Manganelli, Pfiel and Tendler of Fairfield produced a report designed to streamline the table of organization and rein in costs. But more than two years later, the payroll continues to rise, and Engel is out the door after not having his contract renewed in 2008."

" ... Two weeks ago, The Record [sic.] reported that PVWC employees routinely boosted their salaries by $20,000 to $40,000 annually by working loads of overtime and cashing in on a variety of pay perks, including the selling back of unused sick days."

"An analysis of payroll data showed that, in 2010, 31 workers made more than $100,000, about one in six employed at the agency. Two of them, Bella and assistant business manager John Kelly, made more than $190,000 -- which is more than Governor Christie makes."

It is possible that some of these overcompensated workers have been deceased for years. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" and "Da Jersey Code.")

"In all labor costs at the PVWC rose from $11.6 MILLION in 2006 to $13.4 MILLION in 2010, an increase of 15 percent. Overtime and other pay enhancements increased by 45 percent between 2006 and 2010, according to PVWC records." (emphasis added!)

"Meanwhile, the rates charged to the utility 's 65,000 customers have risen dramatically during the same period. Since 2006, rates have risen a combined 31 percent, records show."

This continuing story -- combined with several developing graft investigations in New Jersey -- illustrate the core of the problem in Garden State government, ably summarized by Ingle and McLure: the public treasury has become the cosa nostra of Democrat politicians and bosses spreading the people's money, like jelly on toast. The "toast" is then shared with their friends and soldiers as the people get screwed. No political system can tolerate this absurd level of waste and theft, incompetence and corruption among judges, prosecutors, and unethical courts for long.

New Jersey has remained a "law enforcement free zone" for the mafia for decades and the results are evident in the disaster that is New Jersey's economy and government -- a disaster that is otherwise inexplicable in an amazingly rich state with great universities and one of the most talented populations in the country.

New Jersey's corrupt reality is unacceptable in many Third World countries, to say nothing of America's political standards. People like the various bosses and middle-brow politicians in Trenton are on the level of Gadhafi or Mubarak -- if not below that level. ("Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics" and "More Mafia Arrests in New Jersey" then "The Gang's All Here!")

Mr. Christie and Ms. Dow, deal with this situation and solve my problem soon. The whole world is watching. ("Will Governor Christie End the Nightmare?")
