Will Governor Christie End the Nightmare?

September 25, 2010 at 8:58 A.M. "Errors" not found in previous versions of this essay were inserted overnight. I have now corrected these inserted "errors."

September 16, 2010 at 1:37 P.M. 918-436-6200 "Elizabeth Citi" [sic.] ... I missed that call. I hope it was not important. Cubanazos should note that "Elizabeth Seton" is not a name spelled with a "C."

September 16, 2010 at 12:49 P.M. Additional arrests are expected in Bergen and Hudson counties of persons providing political and police protection, allegedly, of the organized crime group dismantled this morning. My cable signal to my computer was obstructed at about 12:00 P.M. today. I have rebooted my computer. The following calls -- probably they are coincidental -- were received today: From "Sanders Evelyn" at 908-352-6477 at 9:51 A.M., 11:31 A.M., 12:21 P.M.; from NYPL at 212-575-0349. I will attempt to scan my computer, again, either today or tomorrow. If any federal official is responsible for additional security at these blogs, that person is, at best, incompetent.

September 16, 2010 at 8:24 A.M. 53 people have been arrested in Bergen County in an identity theft ring which was involved in computer crime and, allegedly, also in child porn. I have reason to believe that some of these persons may have visited my sites. A little bird told me that Hudson County "cousins" of these defendants are about to be "popped" -- i.e., arrests are forthcoming in Hudson County that are "connected" to these unsavory characters, some of whom like to insert "errors" in the writings of others, probably, a few are (not surprisingly) lawyers in New Jersey. Alleged Gambino crime family affiliations are denied by several "arrestees" and/or "arrestees to come." I am sure that these so-called "lawyers" are members of the Ethics Committee of the New Jersey Bar Association and/or judiciary. No operation this size can function in New Jersey without political protection. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

September 15, 2010 at 7:47 P.M. A call was received from "Name Unavailable" at 738-000-4567. I am sure that the strangeness of this number is only a coincidence. ("New Jersey's International Prostitution Ring and New York's 'Pay for Luv Guv.'")
September 15, 2010 at 3:19 P.M. Access to blogger was obstructed several times since this morning. At 1:25 P.M., I received a call, ostensibly, from 800-947-5096 identified as "Cingular." [sic.] I am sure that this is only a coincidence. "No speak English?"

September 15, 2010 at 8:29 A.M. Advertisements are prohibited at these blogs. An advertisement falsely attributed to "Ads by Google" was attached to this blog today:

"Isime Computer Repair, $0.00 Virus Removal, 917-349-2681. http://www.ismeinc.com/ "

This may be a cute allusion to disdain for legality on the part of computer criminals ("I is me"?) and security in the knowledge that political protection will preclude prosecution of this person. It may be a good idea not to use your cell phone in the future. ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")

September 14, 2010 at 2:26 P.M. As part of the psychological warfare and disruptive efforts aimed censoring or preventing my posts, my computer's cable signal was blocked at 2:00 P.M., approximately. I cannot know how many writings have been vandalized. I will attempt to repair the harm done to my work.

I do not know how much longer I can write under these conditions. However, I will move on to public computers in an emergency in order to continue writing from multiple locations. I am sure that persons responsible for these computer crimes are aware of my experiences of torture and rape, censorship and suppressions of speech. I "have reason to believe" that crucial developments are about to take place in New Jersey in connection with the grand juries looking into the activities of Senator Menendez.

I will try to run a scan of my computer, every day. I believe that Senator Menendez may be able to identify the persons responsible for these attacks on my writings. One "error" was inserted since the posting of this essay earlier today. I have corrected that "error." I am afraid that this process of "repetitive induced frustrations" will continue for several days after the posting of a new essay.

Richard Cowen, "Christie Targets Public Perks: Wants Cuts in Pensions, Health Care," in The Record, September 8, 2010, at p. A-3.
John Brenan, "Stepforward at Xanadu," in The Record, September 8, 2010, at p. L-9.

Governor Christie has taken steps to eliminate the multiple jobs being held by N.J. politicians (Codey and Sweeney are two of the worst offenders) who have become accustomed to the regular arrival of the Trenton gravy train. Luckily, if this gravy train is run by New Jersey Transit, chances are that it will never arrive or that it may get there very late, like President Obama's recovery.

For decades middlebrow politicians in cheap suits from New Jersey's swamplands, routinely, held several government jobs while failing to discharge the duties of any of their positions even as they collected hefty paychecks. Many of these were so-called "No Show Jobs." In a few instances, the holders of no-show jobs were names taken from the cemetery. Do your job, Paula Dow. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")

The goal of holding "no show jobs" is to fatten one's public pension without actually having to show up anywhere or do anything. Among the worst offenders, not surprisingly, are the likes of Neil M. Cohen, Esq. and Nick ("Big Nicky") Sacco, Ray ("Shyster Ray") Lesniak, Esq. and early in his political life, current Senator Robert ("Big Bob") Menendez, Esq. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Senator Bob Loves Xanadu!")

Mr. Menendez was in the state legislature while serving as mayor in Union City and may have earned government paychecks in other positions besides practicing law through an associate at the same time. Mr. Menendez is a millionaire today. I call this New Jersey governmental "support" of machine Democrats "socialism for the rich and connected" and capitalism for everybody else.

"Governor Christie took aim at the state's public school teachers and other government employees Tuesday, calling on the Legislature to lighten the load on taxpayers by reducing pension and health care benefits and by making radical changes to the tenure system for teachers."

These drastic steps are necessary because of years of accounting tricks, LIES to the public by politicians -- like former Governor James ("Slim Jim") McGreevey, Esq. -- and blatant theft or abuse of perks under color of law, for example, by Wayne R. Bryant, Esq. who was much-beloved by the Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE), until good-old Wayne was busted by the feds. Many suspect that Mr. Bryant was kicking back to the OAE's lawyers. ("New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" and "Mafia Influence in New Jersey Law and Politics.")

"The governor estimated that within 15 years, New Jersey's public employee pension fund would be $85 BILLION under water if New Jersey doesn't enact major changes. ..." ("New Jersey is $45 BILLION 'Short' in Pension Funds" and "SEC Sues New Jersey for Pension Fraud.")

There are several components of the Governor's reform agenda that merit your attention and support if you reside in the Garden State. Thousands of life-long residents of New Jersey are fed up and have finally decided to leave the area. Wise move. Lawyers I know in New Jersey express shame at practising law in a jurisdiction deemed "fraudulent" by the federal government and achieving Third World levels of corruption and incompetence in its soiled legal system. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court" then "New Jersey's Legal System is a Whore House.")

Feel free to inform Mr. Christie concerning the charges detailed in these blog posts, which I believe have been brought to his attention already, and which the Governor must not forget. Send Mr. Christie a letter, e-mail, or call him today -- even from outside the country -- to tell him how angry you are at the sick joke that New Jersey has become to the people of the world. Some response to my requests for the torture files is necessary, Governor Christie. The cover-up and stonewalling efforts have failed. ("Is America's Legal Ethics a Lie?")

Public criminality making use of New Jersey resources and technology cannot continue to be ignored by any government seeking acceptance of a "reform" agenda. Much less can these crimes be sanctioned nor will criminals be protected and rewarded for long. ("Jennifer Velez is a 'Dyke Magnet!'" and, again, "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")

"Christie wants legislation that will prohibit public employees and officials from holding multiple job titles" -- no more "Irish Mafia," Alex Booth, Esq.? -- "a practice that allows them to collect inflated pensions at retirement."

Christie demands changes " ... to public pension eligibility rules [proposals which may have led to the failed attempt to use Schundler, allegedly, to embarass Christie over the sabotaged $400 MILLION grant application!] and the formula by which benefits are calculated. Christie also wants public employees to pay more out of pocket for medical benefits."

Most controversially, Christie has dared to take on the politically-powerful teachers' union that is filled with the detritus of the Democrat machine. These people are the corrupt players in New Jersey's "boss" politics who seek the enrichment of its top hierarchy, themselves, usually at the cost of the membership. When you flush the N.J. political system the refuse flows into the big unions.

Many teachers in New Jersey are doing a heroic job against great odds and not being rewarded for it because the loot is being sucked away by time-servers and political foot soldiers in their so-called "union." Some of these people even collect disability payments while being "on the job." That used to be called "criminal fraud." Right, Maria? Ethics? ("Cement is Gold" and "Da Jersey Code" then "Jennifer Velez is a 'Dyke Magnet!'")

Mr. Christie should be on the lookout for further efforts to undermine his administration from within. A public vilification campaign will be attempted against Christie with the goal of changing the subject from corruption to personality "issues." Is Mr. Christie accused of insensitivity to women's issues? Any more "errors" to be inserted?

Insiders and deal-makers in Trenton will try desperately to "keep sucking the public tit" in the elegant words of a former town commissioner in Hudson County. I will be happy to name that person and others in public life who used the same language. Among the ironies to be examined is the epitome of corrupt politics in the form of the Xanadu mall. Xanadu is to pork-barrel politics as the Mona Lisa is to painting. I call it the Jersey Boys' "masterpiece" of thievery:

"Jones Lang Lassere has been hired to be the property manager for the dormant [comatose?] Meadowlands Xanadu project, the lenders for Xanadu anounced on Tuesday."

This is a concession of defeat by public officials in N.J., many of whom draw 5 salaries from the taxpaying "chumps" -- that's you. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")

Garden State politicians cannot build a shopping mall for $2 BILLION. How will these people cope with the other challenges faced by what is now, demonstrably, the most corrupt and dismally failed judicial and political system in America? Simple: "They won't do nothing!," as my local "ghetto bus" driver says. Business as usual. "Whatta-ya gonna do? You can't do nothing. 'Dem guys are all the same." Yep. They are all crooks. Throw the bums out. ("Another Mafia Sweep in New Jersey and Anne Milgram is Clueless" and "Anne Milgram Does it Again!")

Do you need an I.D.?

September 18, 2010 at 6:10 P.M. "Feds Charge 53 in Crackdown of Identity Theft Ring," http://www.news.softpedia.com/news/Major-NewJersey-Based-Identity-Theft-Ring-Dismantled-1596922.shtml (Reports in Wall Street Journal, Star Ledger.)

This identity theft ring is connected to heroin importers from Asia and their mafia partners in the Garden State. Organized crime in contemporary America has developed several prongs: 1) drugs, especially heroin, cocaine, marijuana; 2) sex, prostitution, including child prostitution, and -- as distinct from erotic material for adults by adults -- there is exploitative porn and bootlegging that victimizes young people, especially women; and 3) political corruption resulting in massive thefts from the public treasury. In all three areas, New Jersey is the worst jursidiction in the nation in terms of the extent of the problem.

Several attacks on my computer have obstructed my access to these blogs, more than once my computer has been shut down through blocking my cable connection. Coincidence, Stuart? ("No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!")

This is only the initial arrests. Corrupt N.J. political officials (are there any other kind?) who may have provided protection and support, allegedly, may be next to get "popped," as it were. Ethics? ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")

July 2, 2010 at 10:21 P.M. "Error" inserted since earlier today. I have now corrected that "error." Maybe it was someone from West New York's crooked police department. How many of you guys are on the take? Do they still have the gambling machines in town? Whatta-ya say, Albio Sires? Alex Garcia, do you know anything about corrupt police in West New York? How's business, Alex?

July 2, 2010 at 5:15 P.M. Very few "errors" inserted since this morning, probably because the Jersey Boys are running for cover right now.

AP, "Hoboken Man Sold Phony ID Templates Over the Internet," in The Record, July 1, 2010, at p. A-3. (Amateur.)
Adam Goldman & Matt Appuzo, "Top Al Qaida [sic.] Figure Named in Subway Plot: Bomb Plan Targeted Rush-Hour Crowd," in The Record, July 1, 2010, at p. A-4. (Ironically, for Arizona, this terrorist was not a Mexican or other "illegal" immigrant worthy of arrest.)
AP, "Spy Suspect Linked to Englewood Restaurateur," in The Record, July 1, 2010, at p. A-7. ("Ms. Murphy" was white, middle-class, English-speaking, and utterly "nice." She was ably assisted by guys named "Cheech" from Englewood, N.J.)
Joseph Ax, "Dissent Over Next Teanek Mayor: Race, Gender Play Prominent Roles," in The Record, July 1, 2010, at p. L-3. (Ethnic, racial tensions between African-Americans and members of the Jewish community. Efforts to cover-up the mutual hatred of these groups with a Jewish deputy mayor are not working. "Barack Obama and 'The New Yorker.'")
Michael Gartland,. "Ridgefield Residents Protest Plans for Waste Transfer Station," in The Record, July 1, 2010, at p. L-2. (I suggest moving any sewage treatment plant to Ridgewood, near Governor Christie's north Jersey office.)
Nick Clunn, "Suarez Bid to Halt Recall Vote Fails Again," in The Record, July 1, 2010, at p. L-3. (Mr. Suarez cannot understand why he is subject to recall and has refused to return the "consultation fee" in cash -- i.e., BRIBE -- that he received in a federal sting operation.)
Peter J. Sampson, "Lawyers Move to Get Ferreiro Conviction Dropped," in The Record, July 1, 2010, at p. L-3. (Ferreiro probably won't get out for a while. He should never be in politics again.)

Those of us who have spent years warning of the dangers to the nation created by N.J.'s out-of-control mafia governments and courts were not surprised to discover this item in the newspaper concerning a "seller of computer-generated identification documents."

This enterpreneur -- no doubt he is a Republican -- is clearly an amateur. The professionals can obtain perfectly valid documents and all necessary identifications while selling them to underworld figures at a handsome profit. There are criminals who specialize in such activities. New Jersey's suburban spy ring has taught us that "America's enemies" (which does not include Russia, these days) are well-aware of our culture's racist assumptions and how to use them. Everything is for sale in New Jersey, including the state's judiciary.

Arrests of 53 persons involved in the identity theft business is peanuts in New Jersey. At least three times this number is in the "business of selling papers." Rivals to the operation that was shut down will pick up the slack. It'll be a great Christmas in Hudson County since the Bergen County rivals are out of business for a while. (A valid New Jersey driver's license bearing the name "George Clooney" will run you $2,500, cash money.)

Worse, from our perspective, is the discovery that enemies of America will seek to exploit our vulnerabilities and phobias in order to make them into "weapons" or divisions in our ranks in this so-called "War on Terror." ("Steven Hawking's Free Will is Determined.")

None of the suburban spy group members is an illegal Mexican immigrant, none of these persons is a Muslim, not one is African-American, none come from Pakistan, India, Iran or is a Palestinian, none is a Cuban Communist. Much of our focus and profiling in security efforts will be wasted when it comes to such-people acting in what are usually described as deep cover "strike or attack roles."

Arizona's notorious "hard-line" sheriff requires jail inmates -- including illegal immigrants or undocumented workers -- to wear pink underwear, revealing sexist assumptions and gender-fears still widely shared among American males my age and older. Sadly, these fears are being passed on to the young. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")

What should worry America's White Male (WM) power-structure is not whether "women are taking over," but whether traditionalist views of what constitutes a "tough" masculine perspective on issues are rendered ludicrous by complex realities demanding a more "feminine" perspective, in traditional terms, that is flexible and pragmatic. Being smart does not make a guy a "queer." After all, lots of homosexuals are imbeciles -- Republican gays? Mr. Rubio, perhaps? The Chairman of the Republican party should not be removed for saying something that is increasingly obvious: We should get out of Afghanistan and Iraq, pronto.

The masculinity of immigrants and undocumented male workers -- also of men accused of crimes -- must be doubted and ridiculed through our color-coding of gender-identity. Female is "bad" according to this mentality; therefore, if you are bad, then you must be identified with femininity. You must be labeled as "less" than "normally masculine," which is good and "tough" -- unless you're a woman. To be "like" a woman is a terrible offense, especially for heterosexuals, whose behavior is "normally masculine," because it means that you are rejecting a hierarchy that places men "on top," as it were.

This set of assumptions is idiotic and dangerous in today's global culture. Real men don't eat quiche or wear pink underwear. How about edible pink underwear made of quiche?

"TRENTON -- A New Jersey man has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of fraud, [and] admitted he created computerized templates for producing false identification documents and sold them over the Internet."

Why should we worry about a little business like this? Why not advertise illegal activities on-line? After all, this was New Jersey. I wonder how my old friend Alex Garcia is doing? How are your friends at the West New York Police Department, Alex? New indictment? (I wonder what happened to: "Chivalry Film Productions"?)

On the assumption that the right public officials and politicians have been paid off, one need not worry about the reactions of N.J. law enforcement officers. This is especially true in Hoboken, where former Governor Corzine and Senator Bob keep "batchelor pads" to which they may bring the "babes." ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")

"Twenty-six year-old Merdsel Sternquist of Hoboken entered into the plea Wednesday in Trenton. [Does his rabbi know about this?] Sternquist admitted he created templates to produce various state driver's licenses and federal law enforcement credentials. [Read that last sentence again.] He has also provided instructions on how to print the documents, including authentication features." (emphasis added)

The delay in the removal of Mr. Anthony Suarez, Esq. -- who has yet to attract the serious attention of the laughable and corrupt N.J. Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE) -- may be due to behind the scenes phone calls from politicians. Chief Justice Rabner was afraid to set forth reasons or even to write an opinion rejecting Suarez's efforts to stall or short circuit the recall effort against his mayoralty:

"Ridgefield Mayor Anthony Suarez has failed for a third time to halt a special election that could recall him from office."

They voted him back in because Suarez was very popular with deceased voters.

"The Democrat had asked the state's highest court to postpone the vote until a lower court could hear his appeal on the recall petition. But Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart Rabner denied the request. The one-page order filed Wednesday offered no reason."

How much did Stuart Rabner want to make this go away? ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

" ... In addition to asking whether Suarez should keep his seat, the ballot also will ask voters who should succeed him should a majority oust him from office."

Whether Democrat or Republican, any replacement will be an improvement over Suarez. Any person from any ethnic group, race, or sexual-orientation without a criminal record will be better than this Menendez guy, Anthony Suarez.

Smart terrorists will look for a place -- like the Garden State -- where several terrorist groups have been broken-up during recent years. Probably more has been going on than you have seen in the media. More terrorist cells are expected to exist in this organized crime-friendly jurisdiction of bribed judges and KKK cops, where all your necessary and legally valid paperwork can be bought, easily. The same may be said of the state's Supreme Court and elected officials, allegedly, who can also be bought easily (if not cheaply).

They're very ethical in New Jersey. Many of these ethical persons claim to be my intellectual "superiors." They also express disdain for the billions of "little brown people" in the world who presume to question their judgment. The vast majority of human beings are expendable sub-humans for such American government officials. Stuart Rabner? (Again: "Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" then "Maurice J. Gallipoli and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

N.J. Police Officer Jason Stetser Frames People.

July 1, 2010 at 2:13 P.M. N.J.'s computer hackers obstructed my updating feature of my security system. I have run a full scan of my computer. I restarted the computer and will try, again, to update my security protection. I will then run a full scan of my computer, once more. For me, this is not an unusual experience. I believe the attacks are a response to one of my essays -- probably this one -- by New Jersey officials.

July 1, 2010 at 11:42 A.M. Defacement and censorship efforts from New Jersey continue to be directed against this blog.

Steven Erlanger, "France Makes 'Psychological Violence' a Crime," in The New York Times, June 30, 2010, at p. A5. ("Psychological Torture in the American Legal System.")
Monica Davey & Emma Graves Fitzsimons, "Officer Accused of Torture Is Found Guilty of Perjury," in The New York Times, June 29, 2010, at p. A20. ("New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics." How's it going, John?)
John Reitmeyer, "Winners and Losers in N.J. Budget: Some Key Changes After Months of Haggling," in The Record, June 30, 2010, at p. A1. (Cuts, cuts, and more cuts -- the unkindest cut of all affecting New Jersey's school children.)
AP, "Cop Pleads Guilty to Wrongdoing," in The Record, June 30, 2010, at p. A-3. (Business as Usual.)
AP, "Officer Sentenced for Sexual Assault," in The Record, June 30, 2010, at p. A-3. (Child-porn central in America is good old New Jersey. "Judges Protect Child Molesters in Bayonne, New Jersey.")

"A Camden police officer pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiring to deprive others of their civil rights, becoming the second officer to face prison time for a campaign of planting drugs on suspects, paying informants with cocaine and engaging in other police wrongdoing in one of the nation's most crime-ridden cities." (emphasis added)

This sounds like West New York. Many N.J. police officers, attorneys, also judges develop a sense of a "calling" to make the world "right." This calling or vocation allows for bypassing criminal laws and the U.S. Constitution -- when these inconvenient laws get in the way of their mission -- even enabling them to commit crimes against the "sort of people" who are "socially undesirable." ("New Jersey's KKK Police Shocker" and "Organized Crime Group in New Jersey's State Police.")

"Socially undesirable persons" usually means African-Americans and/or Latinos. Shockingly, many persons who discover this "calling" among members of the N.J. judiciary happen to be Jewish -- this may explain Mr. Farrakhan's comments, which I disagree with -- even as such officials seem unaware of similar Nazi-like attitudes to their ancestors (or themselves) on the part of others in the world. ("An Open Letter to My Torturers in New Jersey, Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli.")

"Jason Stetser faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 when he's sentenced on Oct. 7. The 32 year-old officer also must resign from the police job he's held since 2003, and can never again work as a public servant in New Jersey."

This corrupt law enforcement behavior is often routine among those who "serve" at New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE), which has been accused of political bias and other "biases." How will N.J. or the tainted judiciary in "The Soprano State" return years of their lives to the victims of these fraudulent charges? How will New Jersey undo this atrocity?

One strategy may be to continue to ignore the reality of corruption and a "feces-covered" judiciary. ("New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System," then "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")

"A county corrections officer [in an unrelated and equally typical incident] has been sentenced to six years in a New Jersey state prison for sexually assaulting a man" -- Marco Rubio? -- "while overseeing his community service." ("America's Holocaust" and "More Child-Prostitution and -Porn in New Jersey.")

"Fifty-four year-old Lon Sainato pleaded guilty in March to charges of sexual assault and official misconduct. Morris county authorities say he assaulted a man assigned to paint the Cedar Knolls firehouse in Hanover on Feb. 2nd, 2009." (Again: "Judges Protect Child Molesters in Bayonne, New Jersey" and "Neil M. Cohen, Esq. and Conduct Unbecoming to the Legislature in New Jersey.")

Anybody want to pick cranberries? Sadly, this sort of behavior is not unusual in Trenton's corridors of power. A client once suggested as much in discussing his own situation, also these sexual assaults by officials -- prosecutors and cops, as alleged by Tawana Brawley, for example -- will be covered-up, or victims will be subjected to hypnosis and other psychological torture techniques in order to prevent disclosure and protect judges, or "others." ("Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!" and "Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" then "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

Mr. Rabner, continuing efforts to cover-up this shameful and fraudulent conspiracy to violate my civil rights undermines the legitimacy of every decision by every court in your state. ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "What is it like to be tortured?" and "What is it like to be plagiarized?" then "'Brideshead Revisited': A Movie Review.")

Have you no appreciation, Mr. Rabner, of your obligation to do the right thing in this matter, legally and ethically? Have you been bribed to remain apathetic in the face of these hideous violations of law to which I have been subjected, Mr. Rabner -- bribed, perhaps, by Mr. Prisco? ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")

Do you wish to judge my "ethics," Mr. Rabner?

"The charge stems from a 2004 assault and robbery of a teenager, authorities said. Zisa and Detective Sgt. Thomas Aletta" -- allegations of Gambino family connections are denied by all of these men -- "allegedly intervened in the case in which no arrests were made, despite the existence of ample evidence to support criminal charges. First Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor William Galda said in a statement."

There is very little for these men to worry about in Bergen County. Is Mr. Galda "reachable"? Or "reached"? Is Mr. Galda a front man for Molinelli?

Zisa may be a member of the bar in New Jersey. The OAE appears flat-footed and slow, as usual, and more stupid as well as inept than ever before. A little cash for the OAE? Zisa is not a Latino solo practitioner with radical political views, so they will leave him alone. ("New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

"Zisa's arrest comes a week after two Hackensack police officers also accused him in a lawsuit of intervening improperly in a 2004 robbery and assault case."

"Two years after 23 reputed members and associates of the Gambino and Lucchese mob families were indicted for what the FBI called a 'veritable smorsgasbord' of crime, only one defendant has refused to accept a plea deal." ("Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics" and "New Jersey's Mafia Culture in Law and Politics.")

"The last man standing is Martin Tacetta, a reputed former underboss of the Lucchese crime family's New Jersey faction" -- alleged connections to Jaynee LaVecchia of the New Jersey Supreme Court and Diana Lisa Riccioli can neither be denied nor confirmed at this time (Mr. Zisa?) -- "who is already serving a state prison sentence of life plus 10 years." ("Jaynee La Vecchia and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and, again, "New Jersey's Mafia Culture in Law and Politics.")

I recall witnessing some questioning during the famous mob case in Newark federal court in the late eighties that served as the inspiration for Jimmy Breslin's classic book: The Mob That Couldn't Shoot Straight.

"As younger men, they squared off in a notorious 1988 Mafia case that became one of the longest criminal trials in the nation's history. After 21 months, the trial ended in acquittal for all 20 defendants, but in 1993 two of the defendants -- Tacetta's brother, Michael, then acting head [Godfather] of the Lucchese Jersey faction, [any knowledge of these men, Diana Lisa Riccioli?] and Michael Perna, a top lieutenant -- confessed to tampering with the jury as part of a guilty plea that included more than a dozen murder conspiracies, extortion and other charges." ("An Open Letter to My Torturers in New Jersey, Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli.")

All of these men and their associates have enjoyed the protection of judges and prosecutors in the Garden State for years. This explains the unpunished pollution, child porn, theft from the public treasury -- like disappearing pension funds -- and other nightmares that have produced New Jersey's current crisis. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?" then "New Jersey is $46 BILLION 'Short' in Pension Funds.")

Numerous judges in New Jersey are probably on the take, others are corrupt, stupid, or inept -- sometimes, all of the above:

" ... The May 2008 federal indictment targeted a Gambino crew led by Andrew Merola [friends in Hackensack, Andrew?] and outlined schemes to shake down a lunch truck vendor, put mobsters in no-show jobs, use union muscle to extract payoffs from contractors allowed to ignore union rules, and rake in millions in bets on sporting events and casino-style games over a website based overseas." ("James B. Zazzali and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Peter G. Veniero and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

These are some of the persons making New Jersey America's overstuffed legal toilet. Do you speak to me of "ethics," gentlemen? What's it going to take, Mr. Christie?

Another N.J. Legislator Guilty of Bribery.

Maryann Spoto, "Ex-Legislator Guilty of Bribery," in The Record, May 20, 2010, at p. A-4.

Manohla Dargis, "Filmmaker Wins Palme d'Or at Cannes," in The New York Times, May 24, 2010, at p. C1.

Any time life begins to feel dull, I can look forward to another opportunity to delight in the sterling prose of Ms. Dargis:

"UNLIKE [his] earlier films, LIKE 'Babel,' this new one [new what?] unfolds LINEARLY, [?] though it does open and close with variations on the same scenes, [linearly? that's more, like, "circular"?] a literalization of the CIRCLE of life. ["The Lion King?"] The film's money shot [porn!] is a close-up of an African woman's hand peeling the bandage off the face of a Spanish child, [you mean removing a bandage from the face of a Spanish child?] which assures us everything will turn out fine." (emphasis added)

Amazing. But there is more literary virtuosity to enlighten us:

"Mr. Almaric invited his bodacious, gorgeously gaudy stars to join him on stage."

Wow. Ms. Dargis, clearly, has no idea what she is writing nor can she define the words that she is using. This is The New York Times in 2010? ("Manohla Dargis Strikes Again!" and "What is it like to be plagiarized?")

"A jury convicted former Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt of bribery and extortion Wednesday for accepting a $10,000 cash bribe from a government informant posing as a real estate developer."

I understand that Mr. Van Pelt was an attorney asked to serve on the Garden State Bar Association's Ethics Committee. I can neither confirm nor deny this allegation, but it would not surprise me. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Neil M. Cohen, Esq. and Conduct Unbecoming to the Legislature in New Jersey.")

"Jurors rejected Van Pelt's claim that the $10,000 was a fee for his "consulting services." ("Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

"Van Pelt, 45, a former Republican legislator from Ocean County, did not look at the jury as the forewoman anounced the verdict. He declined to comment after court, but said earlier in the day he was ready to accept the jury's verdict. His wife, who attended a portion of the three-week trial, was not in court for the verdict but her father kept vigil throughout."

" ... The verdict kept intact the [U.S. Attorney's] unbroken string of more than 150 public corruption convictions in the past eight years."

When you add to this list peripheral players, wannabees, flunkies for the mob -- the list grows to over 250 convictions. I hope Anthony Suarez and Bob Menendez will be next to be indicted and convicted. They should be.

"U.S. District Judge Joel Pisano allowed Van Pelt to remain free on $100,000 bond [posted in one hundred dollar bills?] until his sentencing on August 24. Van Pelt, a former mayor and committeeman in Ocean Township, could face up to 30 years in prison."

Mr. Van Pelt probably did not approve of my "ethics." I don't approve of his "ethics." Terry Tuchin is worse than Van Pelt or "Solomon Dwek." ("Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")

" ... Puggi [Van Pelt's shyster] said the term would more likely be between 41 months and 51 months."

That's too good for Van Pelt. He needs a good 10 years in.

"Van Pelt met at least eight times between December 2008 and May 2009 with Solomon Dwek" -- friend of good-old Terry Tuchin? -- "who posed as fictitious developer David Eisenbach."

"[The U.S. Attorney] said Van Pelt agreed during a Feb. 11, 2009, meeting with Dwek to take a bribe in exchange for helping Dwek obtain expedited environmental permits for a development project in Ocean Township. He took the cash 10 days later after a dinner meeting at Morton's Steakhouse in Atlantic City."

This is the kind of conduct expected from members of New Jersey's soiled Superior Court judiciary, not legislators. Shame on you, Mr. Van Pelt.

How was the steak, Danny?

New Jersey's child-prostitution and -abuse as well as -porn epidemic is a result of a "culture of corruption" that pervades all aspects of the state's power-structure. This corruption is the only explanation for the sanctioned censorship that you are witnessing at these blogs. We must expect more sabotage and "error" insertions in response to this post.

Sadly, there is a lot of money to be made from exploiting young children -- girls especially -- and there are plenty of people and a network of crooks in Garden State police departments, political offices, prosecutors' offices (in my opinion) that allow this "industry" to thrive because of huge amounts of payoffs. It's that simple: MONEY gets you political protection in New Jersey.

There are millions of dollars to be made in the child-porn and -prostitution business in the Soprano State. A so-called "lesbian child porn" network has been rumored to exist with a lot of protection in Trenton. It would not surprise me. ("Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

Trenton officials are aware of this truth, even if they deny it publicly and cannot explain how that envelope filled with cash got into their pockets. ("Anne Milgram Does it Again!")

"DERRICK JERINSKY, 28, of SUFFERN, N.Y., has been charged with aggravated criminal sexual contact, six counts of endangering the welfare of a child and four counts of obscenity for persons under 18 years old. He is a full-time teacher at Eastside High School in Paterson."

Children are recruited from high schools or sports teams, usually by trusted adults, then lured into sexual activity that is filmed with webcams and sold for huge profits. The use of so-called "rape drugs" is not uncommon. It is also alleged that hypnosis combined with tranquilizers may be used against unsuspecting victims. Right, Diana? Even lesbians should be prosecuted for such crimes and for cybercrimes as well as censorship. ("We don't know from nothing" and "Judges Protect Child Molesters in Bayonne, New Jersey.")

"The case began after an unidentified Ramsey student reported Jerinsky's conduct to authorities, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said." ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")

Bergen County's power-structure is saturated with mafia influence and utterly corrupt -- except for Hackensack's pristine police department. The chance that this matter will receive the investigation that it deserves -- or of any real effort to control child-prostitution and -porn in New Jersey's mafia swamplands -- is slim to non-existent. The Gambino family may be in the child exploitation business. The mafia is certainly in N.J. politics. ("Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli's 'Ethics' Problem.")

Drastic action is needed in what is clearly a failed legal system and state political structure. I can only hope that such action as Mr. Christie is taking will yield some improvements in a state universally described, accurately enough, as "America's legal toilet and/or shit hole." In the words of Ingle & McLure:

"In New Jersey's super-corrupt atmosphere, nothing is sacred or beyond conversion to a patronage pit. Seemingly everything Jersey politicians do is designed to help themselves or their friends. Little is done because it is the right thing to do. Sometimes it can be the right thing, but in that case, it's a coincidence."

N.J. Supreme Court's Unconstitutional Politics.

Mark C. Alexander, "Justice's Denial of Tenure: A Dangerous Precedent," in The Record, May 5, 2010, at p. A13. (Moron.)

"The New Jersey Senate will block Gov. Christopher J. Christie's appointment of a state Supreme Court justice by refusing to vote on whether to confirm the nominee, the Senate president said Tuesday, escalating a partisan clash between the governor and the legislature."

"On Monday, Mr. Christie broke with tradition and said he would not reappoint Justice John E. Wallace Jr., ["pass the doobie on the left hand side!"] the court's only black member, whose seven-year term is about to expire. Since the current system of reviewing justices after seven years was adopted in 1947, no justice had been refused reappointment."

This crisis is about a governor trying to change "business as usual" in Trenton. The New Jersey Supreme Court is a POLITICAL entity in a way that no other state court in America has ever been or is likely to be today. Hence, accusations that Christie is "politicizing" the appointment process (or the court) are hypocritical at best. I believe the N.J. court is also corrupt and unethical. ("Sexual Payoffs For New Jersey Judges.")

Not only is the N.J. Supreme Court political, but it is highly partisan in its politics and fond of "legislating," notably in the disgraceful setting aside of the law to allow an 11th hour substitution by Menendez for Torricelli as Democratic Senate candidate. This was worse -- in the sense that it was more obviously illegal -- than the U.S. Supreme Court's opinion in Bush v. Gore.

This brazen, biased, liberal legislating and politicking, often done incompetently -- as in the well-intended but disastrous Mount Laurel and Abbott decisions -- brings discredit to the adjudicative process in the most disgraced jurisdiction in America. New Jersey's paralysis in the matter that concerns me reveals the levels of corruption and criminality in a system devoured by secrecy, "favors," cronyism, and organized crime. Shame on you, Mr. Rabner. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

If you care about New Jersey law, the legal profession, judiciary and/or legal ethics, then you should welcome Mr. Christie's efforts and demand that the soiled New Jersey legal system deal with or respond to, say, my critique fairly. By the way, I am anything but a Republican. Any more "errors" to be inserted today, "ladies and gentlemen"? ("Maurice J. Gallipoli and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

"New Jersey," the Wall Street Journal said, "is America's Italian problem" and "corruption nightmare." ("Jaynee LaVecchia and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in America" and "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")

"Mr. Christie nominated Anne M. Patterson, a corporate litigator. The governor did not directly criticize Justice Wallace, but he has repeatedly said that he intends to change the historically liberal court, which he has accused of overstepping its authority."

"On Tuesday, the Senate president Stephen M. Sweeney, a Democrat from Gloucester County [Norcross man?] said he would not allow confirmation hearings, a committee vote by the full Senate on Ms. Patterson's nomination."

That's what I call politicizing the judicial appointments process! Is this Sweeney guy "connected"?

"A vacancy does not prevent the court from functioning."

The New Jersey Supreme Court would function much more effectively if all seven justices were "vacant" -- which they may be even when physically present. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

" ... 'This governor has injected politics deeply into it,' Mr. Sweeney said. 'The message to judges was Do as I say or you're not going to be around.' ... "

This is more like the N.J. mafia-Democrat machine's message to the world: "We don't care about nothing!"

The governor's press secretary, Michael Drewniak, said in a statement: "The Senate's constitutional duty is to provide 'advice and consent' through a hearing for the nominee, followed by an up-or-down vote in the full Senate. That's all we ask. So we would be surprised if the Senate president is willing to simply abandon the New Jersey Constitution and refuse to consider a qualified judicial nominee.'"

These are your elected officials in New Jersey. Are you proud of them in the Senate and Democrat clubhouses? Have they done a great job for New Jersey? I don't think so. I am not overwhelmed with admiration for the so-called "ethics" of these self-styled "superiors" of the likes of you and me. Are you?

New Jersey's Education Budget Crisis and Corruption.

David Giambusso, "PAC Tied to Booker is Cited on Pay-to-Play: Empower Newark Gave Contracts to Donators," in The Star Ledger, April 27, 2010, at p. 9.
Lisa Fleischer, "Schundler Tells Panel School Reform Details Coming Within Weeks," in The Star Ledger, April 27, 2010, at p. 9.
Kristen Alloway & Jeanette Rundquist, "Few Pass Updated HS Exams: Officials Say Results Could be Misleading," in The Star Ledger, April 27, 2010, at p. A1.

"A year after the state revamped its alternate high school graduation exam, just 10 percent of the students who took the language arts portion earlier this year passed, while 34 percent passed the math section, according to preliminary results from the state Department of Education."

This was the so-called "dumbed-down" version of this examination. Testing suggests literacy levels that barely meet the standards for 12 year-olds when I was a high school graduate are now deemed "acceptable" for students entering college.

Many of these bright young people will enter the legal profession, some of the lowest scoring students will become New Jersey Superior Court Judges.

"State education officials said the results are incomplete and cautioned against reading too much into them."

Unfortunately, the students are incapable of "reading too much into anything" as they are incapable of reading at all. Clearly, many are destined for a life in politics. ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?" and "Senator Bob Struggles to Find His Conscience.")

" ... Of the 10,308 students who took the math exam in January, 3,242 passed. On the language arts exam, 438 of the 4,293 students passed."

With the expected cuts in school budgets we can anticipate these wonderful scores to decline even further. This will ensure that our young people will be well prepared to compete with their Japanese and Chinese rivals for economic achievement in decades to come. The nation is secure.

Aside from b.s. qualifications and reservations from typical bureaucrats in the entrails of the N.J. education machine, what this means is that the Garden State's schools (t.v. advertisements of orgasmically blisssful teachers notwithstanding!) are often failing children -- failing expensively. We must do better than this.

"A political action committee with ties to Newark Mayor Cory Booker violated 'in spirit' the mayor's executive order designed to limit pay-to-play influence in the state's largest city, according to an advocacy group that helped to draft it."

"Harry Pozycki, founder of the Citizen's Campaign, has called on Booker to tighten pay-to-play restrictions after it was revealed that the PAC, Empower Newark, has taken donations from numerous city contractors and spent money on political campaigns, including those of school board members." (emphasis added)

Why is this significant? Well, this is one indication of the snug relationship between the schools, teachers' groups, and the traditional as well as HIGHLY CORRUPT Democrat machine in New Jersey. Take another look at those test scores. ("New Jersey's Mafia Culture in Law and Politics" and "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")

Too many school budgets were seen as cash cows for soldiers of the political machine and their friends, not as means to educate children well or effectively, nor even to reward actual classroom teachers as opposed to administrative flunkeys of the Jersey Boys who were (they often still are) in charge of corrupt municipal schools.

Money should go to teachers in the trenches, merit pay, classroom experience recognition and incentives to work in tough schools should be built into the school budgets, even as money is taken away from political figures and so-called "administrators."

If someone in the school system is going to earn a six-figure plus salary, it should be a teacher in an overcrowded classroom working with problem students and not a school board member and administrator with a state car, state phone, state lap top, who has never set foot in a classroom and would not know what to do if he did step into a classroom. By the way, N.J. politicians should get the message -- by way of a dead fish wrapped in newspaper -- that all hands are off the school pension money. ("Cement is Gold" and "Da Jersey Code.")

"Education Commissioner Bret Schundler's pitch to help schools overcome state aid cuts got a cool reaction yesterday from Assembly Democrats who said the administration hasn't provided sufficient details."

" ... 'The proposals on pension reform that you encourage us to support immediate passage of, we don't have yet,' said Assembly Budget Committee Chairman Louis ["Fingers"] Greenwald (D-Camden).' ... "

What does George E. Norcross, III say, Louis? Did he give you the green light?

"Schundler said proposed legislation would be ready in early May, and may include:"

" -- Requiring teachers to pay for health care into retirement, not just while working."

" -- Cutting back the way pensions are calculated."

" -- Limiting contracts to salary and benefit increases of no more than 2.5 percent."

" ... Gov. Chris Christie's proposed budget cuts $820 MILLION from school funding, reducing the aid to districts to $10.3 BILLION, down from $11 BILLION. ..."

This budget is the result of decades of blatant theft and incompetence in New Jersey's schools, misallocation of funds, thievery from school construction budgets and playing politics with your child's education. These painful steps are essential to the effective functioning of Garden State schools. People stealing or "on the tit" for years are hardly in a position to complain about what must be done now. It is the "end of the line" for the mafia whores in Trenton politics.
