Jonathan Miller, "New Jersey Mayor and Wife Face Indictment," in The New York Times, September 29, 2007, at p. B5.
"A North Jersey mayor and his wife have been indicted on federal charges of conspiracy to commit extortion and conspiracy to commit mail fraud. They are accused of extorting gifts and cash that paid for gambling, plastic surgery and a dog."
"Mayor David Delle Donna, 49, of Guttenberg, a tiny town wedged into populous Hudson County" -- home base for the multiethnic Mafia in America, together with corrupt politics and law -- "surrendered to federal agents in Newark. He and his wife, Anna Della Donna, 58, appeared and were released on $100,000 bail." Each?
"Errors" will be inserted repeatedly in this essay. I wonder why?
Neither of them make a lot of money in their jobs. It is amazing that they were able to "save" so much cash. Thrifty, I guess. Mayor of Guttenberg pays about $28,000.00 per year, or less. It was even less when these two were up to their old tricks. Bobby Menendez was making about $28,000 as a Union City politician and became a millionaire in "real estate." Again, amazing that coming up with $100,000.00 was not a problem for each defendant.
"They are accused of accepting ... gifts and money from a bar owner in exchange for political favors."
Do you think that inserting "errors" in my writings or forcing me to make corrections many times does anything but emphasize the criminality in New Jersey's legal world? I don't.
Go ahead, tamper with my work. I'll keep struggling. It just pumps me up more to have imbeciles hacking into my computer to destroy my writings. How you doing, Jaynee? ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Jaynee LaVecchia and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
As I write this, I am prevented (once again) from accessing my MSN account to work on a draft of an essay. More harassment and obstructions are a daily reality for me. This is part of a deliberate effort to: 1) frustrate and discourage communication efforts; and 2) inflict further psychological harm by means of using state government technology and computers, psychological techniques, harassment, to frustrate and damage an already damaged human being, stolen from, assaulted by these same crooks enjoying legal protection in New Jersey. I will choose to regard these efforts as a stimulus to further criticisms of New Jersey's caudillo.
"... Earlier this month, 11 officials were indicted on bribery charges, accused of trying to influence the awarding of public contracts. Included in that group were the mayor of Passaic, two members of the General Assembly and five members of an Atlantic County school board."
"This case is unrelated to the others. [Allegedly.] Mr. Delle Donna, who is also a Democrat, and Ms. Delle Donna, a member of the board, each faces up to 20 years in prison on both counts and a fine of $250,000."
There are rumored investigations unfolding in Union City and North Bergen, so stay tuned to this channel for more developments soon. Can Jersey City and Hoboken be far behind? No. In a territory where a former municipal judge in one town (Union City) was fond of deliveries of cash, allegedly, in brown paper bags, nothing should surprise us. Right, Senator Bob?
Incidentally, the true number of visitors to this blog and my books is estimated to be much higher than the figures actually shown at these sites. For some reason, I seem to have trouble accessing my books at Lulu, which continues to refuse to distribute my second book. ("How Censorship Works in America.")
"From 2002 to 2005, according to the indictment, they helped the bar owner smooth over problems she was having with the local police and other officials involving matters like fights outside the bar and alcohol board violations. In exchange, the bar owner provided Ms. Delle Donna with $2,000 for cosmetic surgery and several thousand dollars for gambling in Atlantic City, according to the indictment, $1,000 in gift cards to a department store and $1,000 for dog accessories."
I don't have "accessories" totaling "$1,000"! That's some dog. Guttenberg Municipal Court, which is where low level criminal matters and traffic cases in town are heard, was (and is?) one of the best in the state. So the "fix" did not take place there. I don't believe such an accusation, if any is made, concerning that court. Probably "deals" were made outside the legal process.
The Guttenberg municipal prosecutor -- Charles Daglian, Esq. -- in my experience, was always an excellent attorney, tough and fair. Even the judge, I thought, was generally willing to listen, giving you a reasonable chance if you tried a case. This was rare open-mindedness in Hudson County. North Bergen and Union City were and are -- by well-deserved reputation -- far worse places, dismally tainted tribunals where anything is rumored to be possible for a not so small fee.
"The bar owner, Luisa Medrano, 51, was not named in the indictment, but officials have confirmed that she was the individual in question." Guess who the informer is, boys and girls? Anyone?
Ms. Medrano has been linked, allegedly, to the "importation" of "dancers" (12 to 14 years-old?) to her tavern, but she got a walk on felony charges earlier this year -- charges downgraded that played out at the "non-custodial level." In other words, she didn't have to go to prison after being hit with some serious charges. I wonder why? What organization, if any, is Ms. Medrano "with"? Do they have a lot of friends in New Jersey government and the courts? Are they international? What can they "arrange" in New Jersey?
Driver's licenses, identification papers, public jobs -- all are for sale in the Garden State, just like politicians and judges. No wonder they are obstructing my writing efforts. Inserting errors in my writings is intended to exhaust me and persuade their fellow racists not to heed these words. These sabotage efforts are having the opposite of the intended effect.
"What is clear is that the conditions surrounding trafficked women and children include all the classic elements traditionally associated with slavery: abduction, false promises, transportation to a strange place, loss of freedom, abuse, violence, and deprivation. Those involved are isolated, controlled by various emotional and physical techniques" -- like hypnosis and psychological torture -- "made dependent on drugs and alcohol, duped and terrorized into submission."
Caroline Moorehead, "Women and Children for Sale," in The New York Review of Books, October 11, 2007, at p. 15.
How many other international organizations -- if any -- have "friends" among New Jersey's politicians and judges? How's Senator Bob doing? Quite a few organizations, I'd say, have influential friends in Trenton. You think that's a good idea when the U.S. is waging a war on terrorism? I don't. (One new "error" discovered so far. January 16, 2008 at 6:22 P.M.)
Is that coziness between criminals and politicians or judges "ethical"? How about it Stuart? Did we wake you up? ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
Hey, Anne Milgram, in between saving whales, this might be an issue to look into. Nah, they're too busy trying to destroy my writings, altering, defacing my prose in violation of criminal laws and the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Ethics? You want to talk to me about how "ethically superior" you judges in New Jersey are to the rest of us mere mortals? Give it a try. ("New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")
"The indictment alleges that Mr. Delle Donna illegally diverted campaign funds from various contributors. How much money was diverted was unclear, Mr. Calcani said."
"... Ms. Medrano had previously been the subject of an unrelated federal investigation involving the trafficking of illegal immigrant women from Honduras, some as young as 14, who were forced to dance and drink with patrons, according to federal officials."
Dance and drink? More than that, probably. Again, in New Jersey, human trafficking may get you a small fine -- if you pay off the right people. However, if your skin is dark, you'll do time for urinating on the sidewalk. ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")
"Mr. Delle Donna is paid $6,700 [the salary is higher today] a year as mayor and is also the coordinator of maintenance at the Hudson Schools of Technology in North Bergen. ..."
Amazing how the Delle Donnas came up with $200,000 like nothing. Cash? All of this is only a small part of the routine criminality and corruption from "alleged" lowlifes, who then like to judge the "ethics" of others. Maybe the "lowlife" part is not just alleged. No more "errors" inserted today?

On September 10, 2007 at 11:55 A.M. -- a visit to the Lulu site indicates that my book, Why I am Not an Ethical Relativist and Other Essays 2000-2006 is listed as being "published by Lulu" or Lulu is listed as "publisher." This same publisher refuses to send my book to Bowker's or on-line booksellers because my book is not "published by Lulu." The nonsense concerning listing the thirteen digit ISBN number is belied by the fact that many other Lulu titles, which have been and are distributed, have no such listing. http://www.Lulu.com/content/567258 What is the connection, if any, between the Lulu site and N.J. politics or politicians? (I just corrected an "error" not found in earlier versions of this essay.)
The true number of visitors to my sites is not reported accurately. It is estimated that the nearly 5,000 visitors to my blogs, more to my MSN group, and comparable number of hits at my first book's site is a gross understatement of numbers that are really much higher than this.

"TRENTON: Legislators Resign After Charges," The New York Times, September 11, 2007 at p. B4.
"TRENTON, Sept 6 -- Eleven current or former public officials, including two members of the State Assembly, were charged Thursday with taking thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for promising municipal business to undercover officers posing as insurance brokers in the latest federal probe into New Jersey's rampant political [and legal] corruption."
"... The investigation initially focused on the Pleasantville Board of Education, which runs a tiny, impoverished school district near Atlantic City. With 13 superintendents in the last 10 years, the district has been plagued by turmoil and is now working with a state appointed monitor."
It is fortunate that, unlike the Teterboro School District that receives several hundred thousand dollars per year for its budget, Pleasantville actually has schools and students. Teterboro doesn't, but they spend the money anyway. (An "error" was inserted by N.J. hackers in this text overnight. I have now corrected it.) I'm sure they'll come up with some bullshit to explain this absurdity. Most people call it good old fashioned "theft."
Any New Jersey appointed monitor will be worthless if your goal is to ensure the legality of public institutions and processes. This is because anything that matters -- government committees, bar association "spots," judgeships -- will be contaminated by the state's corrupt politics and mob influence. Anyone appointed to such a position will be a "known guy or gal." Such a person will know how to "go along in order to get along." Don't ruffle feathers, make only small waves, so it looks like you're doing something, then it's "business as usual." Also, it helps to kick back loot to the higher ups, probably including corrupt judges and justices or New Jersey's traditionally corrupt Attorney General.
Under Debbie Poritz, corruption was easier than ever because she was known to lawyers, unaffectionately, as Ms. "out to lunch." Naturally, lawyers would deny this publicly. In other words, Poritz was either distracted or stupid when it came to administrative matters, so the mob had a field day -- the consequences are visible all around us. By the way, Poritz was also a mediocre or worse judge. Any other judge speaking in Atlantic City, at a podium bearing the logo of a casino, would at least have been "spoken to" about decorum and the appearance of impropriety. A minority judge would have been executed. This is the kind of hypocrisy and double standard by Poritz that makes her years as "Chief Justice of New Jersey" (and her life's work) a dismal failure and a lie. Poritz will be remembered as a fraud who never should have been appointed to the position that she disgraced, especially if she had anything to do with the unconstitutional and criminal methods used against me since 1988. I will not pretend that "nothing happened."
Debbie's alleged "lesbianism" is incidental and irrelevant, of course, unless it was used as a means either to threaten her with "embarassment" or to influence her with the promise of introductions to willing young women. Both possibilities are plausible or even likely.
"But then unexpectedly Pleasantville officials led investigators on what Christopher J. Christie, United States attorney for New Jersey, described at a news conference here as a 'corruption tour' of New Jersey by referring the fake insurers to other parts of the state."
"That tour, prosecutors said, ranged 125 miles north to Passaic and Patterson, two gritty towns just outside New York City known for rough politics, as well as to Newark and Orange. And the way it transpired resembled the New Jersey of Hollywood as meetings unfolded in parked cars, rest stops on the Garden State Parkway, restaurants and hotels."
At 42nd Street, between Bergenline Avenue and JFK Boulevard, in Union City, New Jersey (Bob Menendez turf!) meetings take place betwen mob capos or cartel jefes, local elected officials, mayors, judges and prominent members of the bar -- "allegedly." At a comfy little diner in Hoboken, on election day, local "committee men" chuckle merrily over the votes being cast by names taken from grave stones in local cemeteries. No wonder Hudson County Democrats always win. To have such persons decide that one is "unethical" -- after one's rights have been criminally violated by them -- amounts to a hideous, Kafkaesque farce. For some reason, I experienced difficulties accessing this essay today. You think they don't like me in New Jersey? I wonder why? (An essay concerning the conduct of Superior Court Judge Mark Baber is coming up, then Judges Tolentino and Schaeffer.)
I recall one elected official, who has since been indicted, alluding to his friends in the local prosecutor's office. I understood him to say that he would get "a heads up" on any state investigation, which is why New Jersey law enforcement -- and many honest people trying to do their jobs -- is mostly neutralized by the mob families that run the state. I wouldn't talk to any New Jersey police or prosecutor, if you can help it, about possible corruption charges against state officials. Go to the feds with any information about corruption in the Garden State. (An "error" was inserted, brazenly, in this essay posted only hours ago.) New Jersey lawyers and courts merit no respect as they are corrupt and incompetent in the vast majority of instances.
"But even Mr. Christie said that he was stunned by the business-as-usual boldness uncovered in the most recent investigation, which the F.B.I. dubbed Operation Broken Boards. Mr. Christie noted that one of those charged, Assemblyman Mims Hackett Jr., is the chairman of the State Government Committee, which is responsible for government rules and oversight, including ethics legislation."
New allegations concerning rape -- yes, RAPE -- by several state police officers in New Jersey (no judges?) were reported in network news programs on NBC yesterday, December 11, 2007. Not so long ago a Superior Court judge from Camden County was arrested for having sex with a minor, as a so-called "sex tourist" in Russia, or was it "elsewhere"?
Judges and political bosses have been reputed to do much worse in the Garden State, for years. I am looking forward to discussing allegations against many members of the N.J. judiciary in the months and years ahead, together with my own recollections of gross incompetence and shocking stupidity on the part of persons still affiliated with the bench and politics in that soiled legal system.
New Jersey "Justice" Jaynee LaVecchia, for example, is said to have many friends in the real estate and construction business. (Yet another "error" was inserted in this last sentence, after my twentieth revision of this essay.) Her buddies are, thus, into "cement." In every sense. Allegedly. Right, Jaynee? Many of Jaynee's friends find that their nuckles graze the ground as they walk. But enough about Jaynee's colleagues on the New Jersey judicial bench. New insertions of "errors" in these writings may provide further confirmation of these accusations. They have, as a matter of fact. (See "Let's Ask Jaynee La Vecchia About Corruption in New Jersey" and "Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
Let us continue to hope that "Cheech" and the boys, along with other prominent members of the New Jersey Bar Association from the North Bergen area will continue to cooperate by demonstrating their true colors, while leaving electronic bread crumbs behind. Never underestimate the stupidity of political criminals from New Jersey. Profiles of several New Jersey "judges" and leading members of the bar are coming up. You won't want to miss them, especially when I get to New Jersey Superior Court Judges Gallipoli and Tolentino. By the way, Ms. Tolentino is not Italian-American. This a source of relief and joy for Italian-Americans.
Is it true that "Jaynee" was behind the recent charges against her "colleague" Mr. Rivera-Soto? Inquiring minds want to know. How about it Jaynee? By the way, do you know Diana? Are you two gals "bosom-buddies"? How close are you two "gals"? Is my mention of Jaynee enough for hackers to insert "errors" in this essay? If so, as I say, then they're proving my point. If I find new "errors" after this, then I'll be sure to discuss "Jaynee" at greater length in the future. Based on new "errors" discovered this morning, I have decided that "Jaynee" (New Jersey's favorite former cheerleader) merits further discussion. How does someone like Jaynee get to be a judge anywhere, much less on a state Supreme Court? Pull? (See again: "Let's Ask Jaynee La Vecchia About Corruption in New Jersey.")
This is hypocrisy and fraud on a cosmic scale. Zazzali's and Veniero's participation in racial profiling (no hypnosis for them?); Rabner's splendid isolation, even as colleagues conspire to get ethics charges filed against one another; Poritz's visible incompetence and laughable spectacle in accepting her portrait and tributes as the New Jersey legal system is plunged into a latrine of corruption, cruelty, discrimination, injustice and fraud. Ethics? You want to chat about ethics? Go ahead. (See "New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court" and "How to be a Politician or a Lawyer in New Jersey" as well as "One of New Jersey's Highly Ethical Attorneys Has a Problem" and "New Jersey's Legal System is a Whore House.")
How do you judge others and wear judicial robes knowing about the crimes committed by your tribunal and its minions against people like me? Hypocrisy? Tell me how vastly morally superior to the rest of us are the members of New Jersey's judiciary and Supreme Court. Come on, Debbie. Let's hear all about Debbie Poritz and that moral exemplar, her pal, Diana. I'm sure that you two gals are very tight. In the most racist, crime-infested, politically-warped state legal system -- where the ethics-enforcement process is tainted and besmirched by political influence and (probably) cash or other "favors" for functionaries -- the very word "ethics" spoken by people like Poritz is sickening to listeners and a ridiculous lie.
New computer troubles and difficulty updating my system on November 2, 2007 at 2:45 P.M. I wonder why? My cable signal was illegally blocked on December 5, 2007 at 10:55 A.M. I am running my second scan this morning. You think that such harassment will stop me?
How about Tuchin? Is Tuchin "ethical"? "Irreconcilable conflict" between therapeutic and forensic roles, right Terry? No questioning of impaired persons by any so-called "psychiatrist" for the benefit of the state or any persons whose presence is unsought by a non-consenting victim is anything other than torture. How does it feel, Tuchin, for a Jew to become Mengele? (See "What is it like to be tortured?") Is it O.K. if the victim is a Muslim? (See "Maurice J. Gallipoli and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.") I suspect that Terry began his professional life as a torturer of Palestinian Arabs.
Is Tuchin Debbie's "friend"? What kind of scams did you two pull to milk insurance companies and the state for money in exchange for torturing me, secretly? Face-to-face, Terry. You like Ridgewood, New Jersey? "White man's country"? Where are those reports, Terry? Did you file them with the New Jersey Supreme Court or with the OAE? 1988-2008, I want all of them. Both places got the reports? How come I didn't get or see them? What were you doing going through files in my office for years before the first grievances were SOLICITED against me? Did you or some "others" prepare letters and documents -- for years -- items purporting to come from clients, without identifying yourselves? What is a "fiduciary" relationship, Terry? Whose homes did you enter under false pretenses, Terry? What did you steal from those homes? Who else was subjected, secretly, to questioning under hypnosis? What legal right did you have to do that questioning? Is the OAE a conspirator to the violation of civil rights and other crimes, then to a cover-up of those violations and that conspiracy? Take another look at your rule book, John.
What were you, Terry, doing at the OAE offices when I was there to review what they laughingly called "discovery"? Terry seemed to find my predicament "funny"? Are you laughing today, Terry? What was Diana doing in my office? Why was Diana at my computer? Stealing? Where are those videos? ALL of them? Preferably unaltered. Should the OAE disclose exculpatory material, like, hypothetically, exchanges with translators unable to decipher the contents of alleged "tape recordings" being told what their conclusions should be by OAE officials not speaking the language to be "translated"? How would they, those OAE officials, "know" the contents of such alleged tapes?
Go ahead, take a letter out of what I've written. I'll put it back in the sentence. It'll be like ping pong. We'll keep going back and forth, proving my point and piling more feces on New Jersey's high court. I've got my shovel. I hope you have yours. At this point, it's all good.
Is this standard practice? Secret crimes committed by agents of American "Supreme" courts that can be denied publicly? Or is that only New Jersey's practice? Shouldn't a person who writes and files a grievance against an attorney actually speak and read the language in which he allegedly "wrote" this document that is to be evaluated by persons who secretly wrote it in the first place? Does it comport with the OAE's notions of due process to have their agents, unilaterally, alter transcripts with the consent of a decision-maker who is paid by the the same agency -- the OAE -- employing one of the parties to so-called "litigation"? Inquiring minds want to know. How many other victims are there, Terry?
Any tribunal worthy of the name -- aware of criminal violations of the U.S. Constitution's guarantees to which I and so many others have been and are subjected -- should act, forthwith and sua sponte to take remedial and meliorative action to halt the on-going tortures and injustices, censorship, destruction of written work, and cover-ups. Have your law clerks look up sua sponte. Perhaps Mr. Rabner will need to borrow some testicular fortitude from judges in another jurisdiction. Don't tell me that Rabner still "demurs"? How you doing, Anne? Got your gifts for the holidays? I wonder whether those two, Stuart and Anne, visited "The Philosophy Cafe"? I am available for further debate any time, boys and girls.
The actual response is ... silence, greed, indifference and daily betrayals of their judicial office and oaths as state Supreme Court "justices" along with all semblance of legitimacy for New Jersey's feces-stained courts. Perhaps hackers will seek to delete letters from this essay, again, or affect the spacing between paragraphs. In fact, they already have defaced my work today. (See "America's Holocaust," and again: "What is it like to be tortured?")
Censorship, violence, threats and frame-ups are the typical response to criticisms from persons entrusted with enforcing the U.S. Constitution, along with attempts to alter and destroy written work that is protected by copyright laws and the Constitution. (This last sentence was also altered since my previous reading of this essay earlier this morning.) Again: How do you live with yourselves or call yourselves "justices" in New Jersey's bemerded high court? Ethics? How about destroying manuscript files at my home computer? I will write that book with my own shit on the walls of your court house, metaphorically speaking. Christopher Christie stated:
"... 'It's been six years doing this job, and I thought I could no longer be surprised by a combination of brazenness, arrogance and stupidity, 'but the people elected in this state [by names on gravestones?] continue to defy description.' ... "
Yep, Mr. Christie's right: "... corruption is a disease in New Jersey." Wait till you see what most judges are like in that horrible state legal system. This has nothing to do with party affiliation. One of those arrested was a Republican. Democrats have enjoyed one party rule in New Jersey for too long, which is unhealthy for any democratic system. Tragically, the Jersey Syndicate is influential in both parties. Latinos were well represented in this little shin-dig in the form of Mayor Samuel Rivera of Passaic. This isn't ethnic, it's greed-based. Right, Senator Bob?
The most honest people in New Jersey politics happen to be African-Americans (I'm excluding you, John, or anyone employed by the OAE) because: 1) African-Americans were kept out of real power in the state for so long that arrival, to some extent, has been with great caution; and 2) African-Americans receive a hell of a lot more scrutiny than anybody else -- especially if they are brave enough to risk their lives by getting on the Parkway when there are state police officers around. A Corey Booker Governorship would take gradual steps to increase real ethics enforcement, appoint a qualified and diverse judiciary, and bring money back to a jurisdiction that looks like Capone's Chicago to investors heading for the hills when they see Turnpike signs. I don't blame them.
Efforts must be made to redress some heinous injustices that stain the institutions of New Jersey and will continue to do so until something is done to balance the scales of justice. A New York lawyer explained to me that he once owned property in New Jersey and went to court to evict a tenant. After reading the New Jersey law, he appeared and was unable to describe what he experienced as a legal proceeding of any kind. For some reason unknown to him, his tenant was eventually evicted. He sold his New Jersey property, vowing never to leave Manhattan again. Wise man. Appeals in a corrupt and mafia controlled legal system are a waste of time and money.
"TRENTON, Sept 6 -- In the ethically murky realm of New Jersey politics, where it is common practice for state lawmakers to collect multiple government paychecks, Assemblymen Alfred E. Steele and Mims Hackett Jr. are known as minor players who have refined their skills at working the system to find job opportunities for themselves and their relatives."
It becomes very clear that former Newark mayor, Sharpe James, should not be used as a token or sacrificial lamb by the New Jersey political establishment and mob (which is the same entity) because his offenses are minute and pale compared to the routine criminality and incompetence in New Jersey government. Codey, Roberts, and any backstage Svengali or as the New York Times described him "power-broker" (GEORGE E. NORCROSS, III) should also get some scrutiny. I have a feeling we'll find many of these people have "visited" my sites. I also have a feeling that we're going to find out, very soon, just who's been eating my porridge. I bet some commentators at "The Philosophy Cafe" will love having their own statements read back to them.
"Under pressure by Gov. Jon S. Corzine and other Democratic leaders in New Jersey, two assemblymen, the highest ranking of 11 current or former public officials charged with taking bribes in a federal sting investigation, signaled yesterday that they would resign from the Legislature tomorrow."
Where is New Jersey's attorney general? What is Anne Milgram doing about the cancer that is devouring New Jersey law enforcement, politics and law? Nothing. Ms. Milgram is in way over her head. I have posted evidence of what appear to be New Jersey government computers being used to commit cybercrimes, allegedly, cyberstalking, harassment, infliction of MORE emotional distress and interference with economic advantage, slanders and destruction of legally protected creative work. I have raised the issue of a conspiracy to violate civil rights (which is criminal) and of another conspiracy to cover up such violations (which is also criminal), together with many other crimes and far worse over years. (Oh, a new "error" since my last visit!) All of this takes place, publicly, every day. Nothing happens. Take a look at your ethics rules, John, see what it says about OAE officials participating in a criminal conspiracy. I bet that's a no-no.
I have requested, also publicly -- so the requests won't "disappear" -- any and all reports, videos or recordings of any kind ever prepared by Tuchin or Riccioli filed with New Jersey's Supreme Court or government, or elsewhere, of which I am a subject or even mentioned or relevant since 1988. Nothing happens. I am legally entitled to all such medical records and discovery from the OAE, including all files withheld from me, unconstitutionally, and all communications between that office and its torturers, including material known to be helpful and exculpatory. Forgot, fellas?
Who was behind the successful effort to destroy "The Philosophy Cafe" at MSN? Why would New Jersey's powers-that-be not want my writings read by the people of the Garden State or the world? You think that it's a good idea to have N.J. government agents deciding on whose writings and opinions will be permitted? You want lawyers and other whores of a corrupt system like New Jersey's caudillo evaluating philosophical essays to decide who gets to post writings on line and who doesn't? Most of them are not capable of understanding a complex philosophical or legal argument. I don't want and won't accept censorship from the likes of "Jaynee" and "Debbie," or their chums. I will not be silenced by anyone. This has nothing to do with whether they, Jaynee and/or Debbie, are "gay" or "friendy" with Diana. Maybe they're just switch-hitters?

On September 10, 2007 at 11:55 A.M. -- a visit to the Lulu site indicates that my book, Why I am Not an Ethical Relativist and Other Essays 2000-2006 is listed as being "published by Lulu" or Lulu is listed as "publisher." This same publisher refuses to send my book to Bowker's or on-line booksellers because my book is not "published by Lulu." The nonsense concerning listing the thirteen digit ISBN number is belied by the fact that many other Lulu titles, which have been and are distributed, have no such listing. http://www.Lulu.com/content/567258 What is the connection, if any, between the Lulu site and N.J. politics or politicians? (I just corrected an "error" not found in earlier versions of this essay.)
The true number of visitors to my sites is not reported accurately. It is estimated that the nearly 5,000 visitors to my blogs, more to my MSN group, and comparable number of hits at my first book's site is a gross understatement of numbers that are really much higher than this.

"TRENTON, Sept 6 -- Eleven current or former public officials, including two members of the State Assembly, were charged Thursday with taking thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for promising municipal business to undercover officers posing as insurance brokers in the latest federal probe into New Jersey's rampant political [and legal] corruption."
"... The investigation initially focused on the Pleasantville Board of Education, which runs a tiny, impoverished school district near Atlantic City. With 13 superintendents in the last 10 years, the district has been plagued by turmoil and is now working with a state appointed monitor."
It is fortunate that, unlike the Teterboro School District that receives several hundred thousand dollars per year for its budget, Pleasantville actually has schools and students. Teterboro doesn't, but they spend the money anyway. (An "error" was inserted by N.J. hackers in this text overnight. I have now corrected it.) I'm sure they'll come up with some bullshit to explain this absurdity. Most people call it good old fashioned "theft."
Any New Jersey appointed monitor will be worthless if your goal is to ensure the legality of public institutions and processes. This is because anything that matters -- government committees, bar association "spots," judgeships -- will be contaminated by the state's corrupt politics and mob influence. Anyone appointed to such a position will be a "known guy or gal." Such a person will know how to "go along in order to get along." Don't ruffle feathers, make only small waves, so it looks like you're doing something, then it's "business as usual." Also, it helps to kick back loot to the higher ups, probably including corrupt judges and justices or New Jersey's traditionally corrupt Attorney General.
Under Debbie Poritz, corruption was easier than ever because she was known to lawyers, unaffectionately, as Ms. "out to lunch." Naturally, lawyers would deny this publicly. In other words, Poritz was either distracted or stupid when it came to administrative matters, so the mob had a field day -- the consequences are visible all around us. By the way, Poritz was also a mediocre or worse judge. Any other judge speaking in Atlantic City, at a podium bearing the logo of a casino, would at least have been "spoken to" about decorum and the appearance of impropriety. A minority judge would have been executed. This is the kind of hypocrisy and double standard by Poritz that makes her years as "Chief Justice of New Jersey" (and her life's work) a dismal failure and a lie. Poritz will be remembered as a fraud who never should have been appointed to the position that she disgraced, especially if she had anything to do with the unconstitutional and criminal methods used against me since 1988. I will not pretend that "nothing happened."
Debbie's alleged "lesbianism" is incidental and irrelevant, of course, unless it was used as a means either to threaten her with "embarassment" or to influence her with the promise of introductions to willing young women. Both possibilities are plausible or even likely.
"But then unexpectedly Pleasantville officials led investigators on what Christopher J. Christie, United States attorney for New Jersey, described at a news conference here as a 'corruption tour' of New Jersey by referring the fake insurers to other parts of the state."
"That tour, prosecutors said, ranged 125 miles north to Passaic and Patterson, two gritty towns just outside New York City known for rough politics, as well as to Newark and Orange. And the way it transpired resembled the New Jersey of Hollywood as meetings unfolded in parked cars, rest stops on the Garden State Parkway, restaurants and hotels."
At 42nd Street, between Bergenline Avenue and JFK Boulevard, in Union City, New Jersey (Bob Menendez turf!) meetings take place betwen mob capos or cartel jefes, local elected officials, mayors, judges and prominent members of the bar -- "allegedly." At a comfy little diner in Hoboken, on election day, local "committee men" chuckle merrily over the votes being cast by names taken from grave stones in local cemeteries. No wonder Hudson County Democrats always win. To have such persons decide that one is "unethical" -- after one's rights have been criminally violated by them -- amounts to a hideous, Kafkaesque farce. For some reason, I experienced difficulties accessing this essay today. You think they don't like me in New Jersey? I wonder why? (An essay concerning the conduct of Superior Court Judge Mark Baber is coming up, then Judges Tolentino and Schaeffer.)
I recall one elected official, who has since been indicted, alluding to his friends in the local prosecutor's office. I understood him to say that he would get "a heads up" on any state investigation, which is why New Jersey law enforcement -- and many honest people trying to do their jobs -- is mostly neutralized by the mob families that run the state. I wouldn't talk to any New Jersey police or prosecutor, if you can help it, about possible corruption charges against state officials. Go to the feds with any information about corruption in the Garden State. (An "error" was inserted, brazenly, in this essay posted only hours ago.) New Jersey lawyers and courts merit no respect as they are corrupt and incompetent in the vast majority of instances.
"But even Mr. Christie said that he was stunned by the business-as-usual boldness uncovered in the most recent investigation, which the F.B.I. dubbed Operation Broken Boards. Mr. Christie noted that one of those charged, Assemblyman Mims Hackett Jr., is the chairman of the State Government Committee, which is responsible for government rules and oversight, including ethics legislation."
New allegations concerning rape -- yes, RAPE -- by several state police officers in New Jersey (no judges?) were reported in network news programs on NBC yesterday, December 11, 2007. Not so long ago a Superior Court judge from Camden County was arrested for having sex with a minor, as a so-called "sex tourist" in Russia, or was it "elsewhere"?
Judges and political bosses have been reputed to do much worse in the Garden State, for years. I am looking forward to discussing allegations against many members of the N.J. judiciary in the months and years ahead, together with my own recollections of gross incompetence and shocking stupidity on the part of persons still affiliated with the bench and politics in that soiled legal system.
New Jersey "Justice" Jaynee LaVecchia, for example, is said to have many friends in the real estate and construction business. (Yet another "error" was inserted in this last sentence, after my twentieth revision of this essay.) Her buddies are, thus, into "cement." In every sense. Allegedly. Right, Jaynee? Many of Jaynee's friends find that their nuckles graze the ground as they walk. But enough about Jaynee's colleagues on the New Jersey judicial bench. New insertions of "errors" in these writings may provide further confirmation of these accusations. They have, as a matter of fact. (See "Let's Ask Jaynee La Vecchia About Corruption in New Jersey" and "Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
Let us continue to hope that "Cheech" and the boys, along with other prominent members of the New Jersey Bar Association from the North Bergen area will continue to cooperate by demonstrating their true colors, while leaving electronic bread crumbs behind. Never underestimate the stupidity of political criminals from New Jersey. Profiles of several New Jersey "judges" and leading members of the bar are coming up. You won't want to miss them, especially when I get to New Jersey Superior Court Judges Gallipoli and Tolentino. By the way, Ms. Tolentino is not Italian-American. This a source of relief and joy for Italian-Americans.
Is it true that "Jaynee" was behind the recent charges against her "colleague" Mr. Rivera-Soto? Inquiring minds want to know. How about it Jaynee? By the way, do you know Diana? Are you two gals "bosom-buddies"? How close are you two "gals"? Is my mention of Jaynee enough for hackers to insert "errors" in this essay? If so, as I say, then they're proving my point. If I find new "errors" after this, then I'll be sure to discuss "Jaynee" at greater length in the future. Based on new "errors" discovered this morning, I have decided that "Jaynee" (New Jersey's favorite former cheerleader) merits further discussion. How does someone like Jaynee get to be a judge anywhere, much less on a state Supreme Court? Pull? (See again: "Let's Ask Jaynee La Vecchia About Corruption in New Jersey.")
This is hypocrisy and fraud on a cosmic scale. Zazzali's and Veniero's participation in racial profiling (no hypnosis for them?); Rabner's splendid isolation, even as colleagues conspire to get ethics charges filed against one another; Poritz's visible incompetence and laughable spectacle in accepting her portrait and tributes as the New Jersey legal system is plunged into a latrine of corruption, cruelty, discrimination, injustice and fraud. Ethics? You want to chat about ethics? Go ahead. (See "New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court" and "How to be a Politician or a Lawyer in New Jersey" as well as "One of New Jersey's Highly Ethical Attorneys Has a Problem" and "New Jersey's Legal System is a Whore House.")
How do you judge others and wear judicial robes knowing about the crimes committed by your tribunal and its minions against people like me? Hypocrisy? Tell me how vastly morally superior to the rest of us are the members of New Jersey's judiciary and Supreme Court. Come on, Debbie. Let's hear all about Debbie Poritz and that moral exemplar, her pal, Diana. I'm sure that you two gals are very tight. In the most racist, crime-infested, politically-warped state legal system -- where the ethics-enforcement process is tainted and besmirched by political influence and (probably) cash or other "favors" for functionaries -- the very word "ethics" spoken by people like Poritz is sickening to listeners and a ridiculous lie.
New computer troubles and difficulty updating my system on November 2, 2007 at 2:45 P.M. I wonder why? My cable signal was illegally blocked on December 5, 2007 at 10:55 A.M. I am running my second scan this morning. You think that such harassment will stop me?
How about Tuchin? Is Tuchin "ethical"? "Irreconcilable conflict" between therapeutic and forensic roles, right Terry? No questioning of impaired persons by any so-called "psychiatrist" for the benefit of the state or any persons whose presence is unsought by a non-consenting victim is anything other than torture. How does it feel, Tuchin, for a Jew to become Mengele? (See "What is it like to be tortured?") Is it O.K. if the victim is a Muslim? (See "Maurice J. Gallipoli and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.") I suspect that Terry began his professional life as a torturer of Palestinian Arabs.
Is Tuchin Debbie's "friend"? What kind of scams did you two pull to milk insurance companies and the state for money in exchange for torturing me, secretly? Face-to-face, Terry. You like Ridgewood, New Jersey? "White man's country"? Where are those reports, Terry? Did you file them with the New Jersey Supreme Court or with the OAE? 1988-2008, I want all of them. Both places got the reports? How come I didn't get or see them? What were you doing going through files in my office for years before the first grievances were SOLICITED against me? Did you or some "others" prepare letters and documents -- for years -- items purporting to come from clients, without identifying yourselves? What is a "fiduciary" relationship, Terry? Whose homes did you enter under false pretenses, Terry? What did you steal from those homes? Who else was subjected, secretly, to questioning under hypnosis? What legal right did you have to do that questioning? Is the OAE a conspirator to the violation of civil rights and other crimes, then to a cover-up of those violations and that conspiracy? Take another look at your rule book, John.
What were you, Terry, doing at the OAE offices when I was there to review what they laughingly called "discovery"? Terry seemed to find my predicament "funny"? Are you laughing today, Terry? What was Diana doing in my office? Why was Diana at my computer? Stealing? Where are those videos? ALL of them? Preferably unaltered. Should the OAE disclose exculpatory material, like, hypothetically, exchanges with translators unable to decipher the contents of alleged "tape recordings" being told what their conclusions should be by OAE officials not speaking the language to be "translated"? How would they, those OAE officials, "know" the contents of such alleged tapes?
Go ahead, take a letter out of what I've written. I'll put it back in the sentence. It'll be like ping pong. We'll keep going back and forth, proving my point and piling more feces on New Jersey's high court. I've got my shovel. I hope you have yours. At this point, it's all good.
Is this standard practice? Secret crimes committed by agents of American "Supreme" courts that can be denied publicly? Or is that only New Jersey's practice? Shouldn't a person who writes and files a grievance against an attorney actually speak and read the language in which he allegedly "wrote" this document that is to be evaluated by persons who secretly wrote it in the first place? Does it comport with the OAE's notions of due process to have their agents, unilaterally, alter transcripts with the consent of a decision-maker who is paid by the the same agency -- the OAE -- employing one of the parties to so-called "litigation"? Inquiring minds want to know. How many other victims are there, Terry?
Any tribunal worthy of the name -- aware of criminal violations of the U.S. Constitution's guarantees to which I and so many others have been and are subjected -- should act, forthwith and sua sponte to take remedial and meliorative action to halt the on-going tortures and injustices, censorship, destruction of written work, and cover-ups. Have your law clerks look up sua sponte. Perhaps Mr. Rabner will need to borrow some testicular fortitude from judges in another jurisdiction. Don't tell me that Rabner still "demurs"? How you doing, Anne? Got your gifts for the holidays? I wonder whether those two, Stuart and Anne, visited "The Philosophy Cafe"? I am available for further debate any time, boys and girls.
The actual response is ... silence, greed, indifference and daily betrayals of their judicial office and oaths as state Supreme Court "justices" along with all semblance of legitimacy for New Jersey's feces-stained courts. Perhaps hackers will seek to delete letters from this essay, again, or affect the spacing between paragraphs. In fact, they already have defaced my work today. (See "America's Holocaust," and again: "What is it like to be tortured?")
Censorship, violence, threats and frame-ups are the typical response to criticisms from persons entrusted with enforcing the U.S. Constitution, along with attempts to alter and destroy written work that is protected by copyright laws and the Constitution. (This last sentence was also altered since my previous reading of this essay earlier this morning.) Again: How do you live with yourselves or call yourselves "justices" in New Jersey's bemerded high court? Ethics? How about destroying manuscript files at my home computer? I will write that book with my own shit on the walls of your court house, metaphorically speaking. Christopher Christie stated:
"... 'It's been six years doing this job, and I thought I could no longer be surprised by a combination of brazenness, arrogance and stupidity, 'but the people elected in this state [by names on gravestones?] continue to defy description.' ... "
Yep, Mr. Christie's right: "... corruption is a disease in New Jersey." Wait till you see what most judges are like in that horrible state legal system. This has nothing to do with party affiliation. One of those arrested was a Republican. Democrats have enjoyed one party rule in New Jersey for too long, which is unhealthy for any democratic system. Tragically, the Jersey Syndicate is influential in both parties. Latinos were well represented in this little shin-dig in the form of Mayor Samuel Rivera of Passaic. This isn't ethnic, it's greed-based. Right, Senator Bob?
The most honest people in New Jersey politics happen to be African-Americans (I'm excluding you, John, or anyone employed by the OAE) because: 1) African-Americans were kept out of real power in the state for so long that arrival, to some extent, has been with great caution; and 2) African-Americans receive a hell of a lot more scrutiny than anybody else -- especially if they are brave enough to risk their lives by getting on the Parkway when there are state police officers around. A Corey Booker Governorship would take gradual steps to increase real ethics enforcement, appoint a qualified and diverse judiciary, and bring money back to a jurisdiction that looks like Capone's Chicago to investors heading for the hills when they see Turnpike signs. I don't blame them.
Efforts must be made to redress some heinous injustices that stain the institutions of New Jersey and will continue to do so until something is done to balance the scales of justice. A New York lawyer explained to me that he once owned property in New Jersey and went to court to evict a tenant. After reading the New Jersey law, he appeared and was unable to describe what he experienced as a legal proceeding of any kind. For some reason unknown to him, his tenant was eventually evicted. He sold his New Jersey property, vowing never to leave Manhattan again. Wise man. Appeals in a corrupt and mafia controlled legal system are a waste of time and money.
"TRENTON, Sept 6 -- In the ethically murky realm of New Jersey politics, where it is common practice for state lawmakers to collect multiple government paychecks, Assemblymen Alfred E. Steele and Mims Hackett Jr. are known as minor players who have refined their skills at working the system to find job opportunities for themselves and their relatives."
It becomes very clear that former Newark mayor, Sharpe James, should not be used as a token or sacrificial lamb by the New Jersey political establishment and mob (which is the same entity) because his offenses are minute and pale compared to the routine criminality and incompetence in New Jersey government. Codey, Roberts, and any backstage Svengali or as the New York Times described him "power-broker" (GEORGE E. NORCROSS, III) should also get some scrutiny. I have a feeling we'll find many of these people have "visited" my sites. I also have a feeling that we're going to find out, very soon, just who's been eating my porridge. I bet some commentators at "The Philosophy Cafe" will love having their own statements read back to them.
"Under pressure by Gov. Jon S. Corzine and other Democratic leaders in New Jersey, two assemblymen, the highest ranking of 11 current or former public officials charged with taking bribes in a federal sting investigation, signaled yesterday that they would resign from the Legislature tomorrow."
Where is New Jersey's attorney general? What is Anne Milgram doing about the cancer that is devouring New Jersey law enforcement, politics and law? Nothing. Ms. Milgram is in way over her head. I have posted evidence of what appear to be New Jersey government computers being used to commit cybercrimes, allegedly, cyberstalking, harassment, infliction of MORE emotional distress and interference with economic advantage, slanders and destruction of legally protected creative work. I have raised the issue of a conspiracy to violate civil rights (which is criminal) and of another conspiracy to cover up such violations (which is also criminal), together with many other crimes and far worse over years. (Oh, a new "error" since my last visit!) All of this takes place, publicly, every day. Nothing happens. Take a look at your ethics rules, John, see what it says about OAE officials participating in a criminal conspiracy. I bet that's a no-no.
I have requested, also publicly -- so the requests won't "disappear" -- any and all reports, videos or recordings of any kind ever prepared by Tuchin or Riccioli filed with New Jersey's Supreme Court or government, or elsewhere, of which I am a subject or even mentioned or relevant since 1988. Nothing happens. I am legally entitled to all such medical records and discovery from the OAE, including all files withheld from me, unconstitutionally, and all communications between that office and its torturers, including material known to be helpful and exculpatory. Forgot, fellas?
Who was behind the successful effort to destroy "The Philosophy Cafe" at MSN? Why would New Jersey's powers-that-be not want my writings read by the people of the Garden State or the world? You think that it's a good idea to have N.J. government agents deciding on whose writings and opinions will be permitted? You want lawyers and other whores of a corrupt system like New Jersey's caudillo evaluating philosophical essays to decide who gets to post writings on line and who doesn't? Most of them are not capable of understanding a complex philosophical or legal argument. I don't want and won't accept censorship from the likes of "Jaynee" and "Debbie," or their chums. I will not be silenced by anyone. This has nothing to do with whether they, Jaynee and/or Debbie, are "gay" or "friendy" with Diana. Maybe they're just switch-hitters?

"A Corruption Tour of New Jersey."
"New Jersey 'Corruption Tour' Nets 11 Public Officials," BREAKING NEWS, September 7, 2007, at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20637957/

"... 11 public officials arrested in New Jersey Thursday -- 2 lawmakers, 2 mayors, 3 city councilmen," and others, each of them with judges in their pockets and friends in the local prosecutor's offices. This is further evidence, if any were needed, of the incompetence of Anne Milgram and the New Jersey Attorney General's office and of New Jersey's disgraced Supreme Court. Corruption, criminality, fraudulent legal proceedings, influenced or bribed judges are the norm in New Jersey. No wonder they don't want you to read these essays. U.S. Attorney, Christopher Christie said, with visible disgust (which I share):
"Today, we witnessed another example of the disease of public corruption that spread like wildfire from south to north. ... The arrests on Thursday just scratch the surface of the corruption that goes on here." (emphasis added)
Ethics? How can you even speak the word in that filthy, morally despicable turf known as New Jersey's legal-political culture? I plan to devote a longer essay to this topic, naming offenders and drawing on my own recollections of life in America's legal toilet. (I expect more attacks on my computer, anonymous slurs and slanders, threats, insults and the usual responses from persons entrusted with enforcing the Constitution.)
"TRENTON, Sept. 5 -- Eight years after New Jersey acknowledged that troopers were focusing on black and Hispanic drivers at traffic stops, federal monitors said on Wednesday that the New Jersey State Police had made so much progress [irony?] in its attempts to eliminate racial profiling that it no longer needed federal supervision." (emphasis added!)
"The monitors concluded in a report that in periodic reviews during the past eight years, the police had shown significant improvement in procedures and training."
There was nowhere to go but up.
"In a consent decree signed in 1999, the state agreed to allow the federal Department of Justice to oversee how traffic stops were conducted, along with other State Police activities."
"... Governor Jon S. Corzine appointed a 21-member committee last year to determine whether to ask the federal government if the consent decree should be lifted. This report does not eliminate the federal supervision by itself, so it is up to the state to file a request with federal officials to have it end."
Any committee of New Jersey Bar Association big wigs will conclude that New Jersey's secret torture practices, racial profiling, theft of public funds is hunky-dory. The state sanctions theft, assault, torture, rape by its house shrinks and other political whores, who probably supply judges with sexual favors or payoffs. The reason "connected lawyers" are appointed to such committees is so that they will draw predetermined convenient conclusions, then find a way to justify them. It is a political appointment -- like the ethics committees that are usually staffed by the most unethical attorneys and political bag men and women -- as corrupt as most institutions or committees in the Garden State would have to be.
How's Debbie doing? Is it true that Debbie's really "chummy" with Diana? That would explain a lot. New Jersey is a state that is so saturated with racism, mob control of government institutions, judicial incompetence and failures in law enforcement that it was necessary for the federal government to "supervise" law enforcement. Now the state "takes pride" in a committe of their own made members' suggestion that, maybe, it'll be o.k. not to police the police? Wow, that's quite a boast to make. As Anne Milgram remarked: "Totally awesome, dude!"
Hackers and insertion of "errors" in my text proves my point. As I write this, I am unable to use my printer, which has been blocked, numerous obstacles afflict my computer again. I am blocking: http://view.atdmt.com/iview/msnnkhac00172... (Senator Bob, sadly deprived of the Babe. I commiserate with you, Senator.)
Any request to terminate federal supervision of New Jersey police should be viewed with great suspicion and denied "forthwith."
"NEWARK, Sept 5 -- A New Jersey county judge in a ruling in a lawsuit on Wednesday gave the state one week to figure out how to create a paper trail for its 10,000 electronic voting machines, saying that under the current system they are vulnerable to tampering" -- probably from the same people tampering with my blogs and sites, no doubt also preventing my publication efforts -- "the state attorney general's office said."
"Penny Venetis, a Rutgers law professor who is representing the plaintiffs, said she was pleased with the ruling. 'The state was poised to spend $40 MILLION on faulty printers,' Ms. Venetis said. 'A 9 year-old could break into these machines.' ..."
That's what they want, Professor Venetis. Whatever machines they install in New Jersey, the Democrat machine will tamper with them, so as to corrupt and steal elections. And speaking of corruption and stealing, convictions in Brooklyn of a reputed Gambino crime boss are rumored to be only a small part of a massive federal investigation involving agents in several states -- including New Jersey -- that will result in additional indictments "in due course." I can't wait.
The arrests and charges of mafia figures in Orange, New Jersey -- Richard J. Codey turf -- has confirmed my expectations. I would not be surprised to see more FEDERAL arrests, including Cuban Mafia figures in Hudson County and Miami 'connected' to Trenton politicians.
"CAMDEN, N.J., Sept. 15 (AP) -- Gov. Jon S. Corzine was to sign a bill extending a state takeover of this troubled city's government during a visit on Sunday morning, according to a senior Corzine administration official."
The city's "books" were kept (and cooked) in pencil. "Its easier to steal that way," one local political veteran explained. Members of Camden's political-criminal organization are reputedly unhappy, threatening to send Mr. Corzine a horse's head or a free trip with one of their drivers on the Parkway or Turnpike. Corzine, wisely, declined both offers -- allegedly.

"Penny Venetis, a Rutgers law professor who is representing the plaintiffs, said she was pleased with the ruling. 'The state was poised to spend $40 MILLION on faulty printers,' Ms. Venetis said. 'A 9 year-old could break into these machines.' ..."
That's what they want, Professor Venetis. Whatever machines they install in New Jersey, the Democrat machine will tamper with them, so as to corrupt and steal elections. And speaking of corruption and stealing, convictions in Brooklyn of a reputed Gambino crime boss are rumored to be only a small part of a massive federal investigation involving agents in several states -- including New Jersey -- that will result in additional indictments "in due course." I can't wait.
The arrests and charges of mafia figures in Orange, New Jersey -- Richard J. Codey turf -- has confirmed my expectations. I would not be surprised to see more FEDERAL arrests, including Cuban Mafia figures in Hudson County and Miami 'connected' to Trenton politicians.
"CAMDEN, N.J., Sept. 15 (AP) -- Gov. Jon S. Corzine was to sign a bill extending a state takeover of this troubled city's government during a visit on Sunday morning, according to a senior Corzine administration official."
The city's "books" were kept (and cooked) in pencil. "Its easier to steal that way," one local political veteran explained. Members of Camden's political-criminal organization are reputedly unhappy, threatening to send Mr. Corzine a horse's head or a free trip with one of their drivers on the Parkway or Turnpike. Corzine, wisely, declined both offers -- allegedly.

Saying Goodbye to Luciano Pavarotti.
Unfortunately, new attacks against my computer may preclude me from continuing to write at this site. I am fighting to continue doing so, running scans -- my security system has been breached -- and hoping to hold on to my access to these sites. I cannot access my books on-line and do not know whether they are still available, but I hope they are. I am blocked from Lulu, probably by New Jersey hackers.
I was fortunate to experience Luciano Pavarotti's magnificent voice, in person and without amplification or distortion, at the height of his vocal powers. I heard Pavarotti sing what he described as the most gripping, emotionally difficult, and painful role in his repertoire, "Riccardo" in Un Ballo in Maschera. This Verdi masterpiece was recorded by Pavarotti several times in his career. Pavarotti's interpretation ripens and deepens with the passage of the years. Both the Opera and Mr. Pavarotti's performance are not to be missed.
There is a famous recording of this work with Joan Sutherland and Sherill Milnes, the best baritone I ever heard (and I've heard a lot), who is an American singer. Mr. Milnes was a member of that generation of American singers who took the initiative away from Europe, in terms of the quality of singers. All of the following were roughly contemporary singers, enjoying overlapping careers: Marilyn Horne, Richard Tucker (who would be the best tenor in the world today, by far), Robert Merill (great baritone), Leontyne Price (rivaled only by Tebaldi, Scotto, Caballe, Freni, Fleming and surpassed by none), Beverly Sills, the best coloratura soprano I ever heard, also many others.
Pavarotti's voice was -- no, it will always be -- brilliant, sparkling in the upper registers, make your knees wobble beautiful, expressive and rich with all the colors in the rainbow. He was not a great actor on stage, partly because of his size, but his voice was a great actor. Hence, Pavarotti recorded really well. Not all good singers do. The subtleties in Pavarotti's interpretations are often missed by people only listening for the high notes. The video and recording in the late sixties of Karajan's Verdi "Requiem" (with Price) is one of the glories of recorded music, rivalled subsequently only by Jessie Norman and Jose Carreras under Muti's baton. Both of those tenors are unforgettable in the "Ingemesco ..."
In Ballo, Pavarotti's "Riccardo" is torn by complex emotions, loyalties to a friend, passionate love for a woman (the role of "Amelia" is best sung by Leontyne Price -- and I've heard everybody sing it), political issues concerning the responsibilities of power and need for liberty are woven into the score and libreto. The recording with Ms. Sutherland is very good. If you can find a recording of Pavarotti with Price, even if they're singing the yellow pages, get it.
Both Domingo and Pavarotti mentioned Leontyne Price as one of the very best sopranos they had the good fortune to sing with during their careers -- and they weren't kidding. Ms. Price always looked beautiful on stage, tall with a comanding presence. In Aida, she was never a slave, despite her status in Egypt, because she knew herself the daughter of a king -- and so did you in the audience.
Pavarotti's voice will be heard forever, along with Caruso, Callas, Di Stefano, Corelli, Tebaldi, Del Monaco, Milnes, Domingo, Caballe, Carreras, Kraus, Nilson, Melchior, Price, Scotto, Freni, Fleming and (I think) Salvatore Licitra and so many others. A good way to say goodbye to Luciano -- sending him our love -- is to play his recordings today. I will do that, ignoring those who find an interest in Opera "weird."
My recomendations for your listening pleasure are: From "London Records," the Decca Record Company compilation "Luciano Pavarotti -- Great Tenor Arias," from 1969-1982, and the "Duet: Ballo in Maschera," Pavarotti/Price, closing The Metropolitan Opera Centenial Gala, October 22, 1983, with English subtitles, available from Bel Canto, Paramount Home Video, CD/DVD from Metropolitan Opera. Finally, an encore of a favorite Pavarotti aria from that collection, whose final word should be on Luciano's grave stone:
"Nessum Dorma ... Vincero!"
