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 ...

"Antoinette (Dina) Hodgson, 58, solicited millions from investors in New York and New Jersey between 2006 and 2009 for her real estate business, but 'used those funds to repay other investors or for her own purposes,' documents filed in Manhattan federal court say."

"She invested $700,000 in an Arizona Dunkin Doughnuts franchise and 'spent hundreds of thousands of dollars at casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas,' the papers say."

"Defense lawyer Jack Arsenault said the feds are blowing the case out of proportion."

What the hell. Nobody's perfect. Besides, she pays cash. Right, Jack? I bet that cash belongs to other people. Heh, heh, heh ... badda bing, badda boom.

"Hodgson, who pleaded not guilty, was charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy, and released on $6 MILLION bond secured with 24 properties."

Some of these properties may even belong to "Ms. Hodgson." What's her single name, "Corleone"?

"She faces up to 20 years in jail if convicted."

They're blowing this out of proportion. Where's the sense of humor of the U.S. Attorney's Office? Say hello to Diana, Antoinette. Red fingernails?

Corruption Has Deep Roots in New Jersey.

June 16, 2010 at 1:38 P.M. Early efforts to post this essay were obstructed by Trenton's OAE hackers. I will continue to struggle to post this essay today. Much more is coming to this blog focusing on New Jersey's disgusting corruption and criminality.

Jeanette Rundquist, "Christie Wins First Round in Court," in The Record, June 15, 2010, at p. A-4. (Democrat machine backing off with increased national media attention.)
Julian E. Barnes & Paul Richter, "Pentagon Sees $1 Trillion in Afghan Mineral Wealth," in The Record, June 15, 2010, at p. A-9. (This explains a lot!)
"No Senior Discount: Former Deputy Mayor Deserves Jail Time," (Editorial) in The Record, June 15, 2010, at p. A-10. (Cooperate with the feds, Leona, and they'll provide protection.)

"As Jersey City's deputy mayor, she was supposed to promote the public good. Instead, she peddled her influence for campaign cash for her boss, accepting $20,000 from a crooked developer in exchange for city approvals."

Ms. Beldini's claim to fame prior to this incident was as a "burlesque queen." I cannot say and will not speculate concerning what else she "peddled" in her life. However, I will not have any of these people in New Jersey presume to judge anybody that I love. Do you speak to me of "ethics," at the OAE? ("New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" and "Is Paul Bergrin is an Ethical New Jersey Attorney?" and "New Jersey's Legal System is a Whore House.")

I wonder how well Leona Beldini "knows" Diana Lisa Riccioli? For that matter, how close were Leona and her contemporary, Deborah T. Poritz? Anne Milgram, Esq.? ("Leona Beldini and Conduct Unbecoming to an Elected Official in New Jersey" and "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

"That developer was none other than Solomon Dwek, the FBI operative who criss-crossed New Jersey with envelopes and at least one cereal box full of dirty money over two years, eventually catching 44 suspects in a massive corruption sting that involved mayors, lawmakers, public officials and rabbis. Apparently, wads of cash go far on the black market of influence: Dave allegedly laundered the money through rabbis, bribed public officials and lawmakers, and even arranged to buy a kidney. He also allegedly bribed former Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, and Ridgefield Mayor Anthony Suarez, who have not yet had their days in court." ("Jaynee LaVecchia and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

The grimy details have become yet more fodder for tabloids and late night comedians. Mr. Suarez is particularly loathsome. Suarez is a N.J. lawyer who remains, to my knowledge, unsanctioned by the tainted OAE.

"Former Hoboken Mayor Peter Camarano has pled guilty to extortion -- Dwek handed him $10,000 out of his car trunk to shore up a campaign account in exchange for a warm reception at city hall."

Suarez has not yet resigned and refuses or has failed to give back the bribe money. However, the OAE is not slandering him to family and friends, not pressuring him to fork over the cash, he has not been raped or assaulted, nor are there Orders to Show Cause pending to produce an immediate disbarment of Mr. Suarez. (Again: "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.")

I wonder why that fondness for Anthony Suarez, Esq. exists among Trenton officials? It seems (to me) that Mr. Suarez is not cooperating with N.J.'s corrupt legal ethics enforcement agency which, nevertheless, sure is cooperating with him. Perhaps Mr. Suarez -- or others on his behalf -- is sharing some cash with the OAE boys in Trenton, allegedly? Suarez is a Menendez man, right? ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" then "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

"And former Assemblyman Dennis Van-Pelt, R. -- Ocean, was convicted of accepting a $10,000 bribe -- a pile of $100 bills, stuffed into a doggie bag at a restaurant -- after unsuccessfully claiming the money was for his 'consulting services.' Both men are to be sentenced in August. If Beldini's sentence is any indication, [3 years of REAL TIME!] they should start packing."

My experiences coping with computer crime sanctioned by government officials from N.J., or even members of the legal profession and judiciary -- this spectacle should concern all members of the media -- suggests that it is no exaggeration to speak of a "culture of corruption" among Garden State legal ethics officials and judges.

New Jersey cannot -- or will not -- control cybercrime emanating from its own government offices. To expect lawyers and judges, or politicians holding national office (mafia bosses and other criminals), to behave differently is absurd. More absurd are the ethical judgments from such worthless lowlifes. ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

This lingering nightmare makes America's Constitution and our national posture as chief advocate of freedom of speech in the world, a lie. The situation must be dealt with, Mr. Christie. Some effort should be made "with all deliberate speed" to compensate for the crimes committed against me (a frame-up against me is unlikely to work, while assassination may prove costly, Mr. Menendez), and also for crimes committed against others.

Mr. Rabner and Ms. Dow, you cannot ignore this situation because the continuing PUBLIC debacle of New Jersey's legal institutions undermines what little credibility remains in the foul-smelling Garden State's courts and politics. Assume a virtue, if you have it not, and do the right thing for once. You'll feel better once it is all over.

Happy Father's Day, John!
