Atlantic City Casinos, New Jersey Judges and Politicians, and the Mob.

October 9, 2007 at 4:41 P.M. a new attack against my computer requires me to run scans. I will keep trying to get back to these sites and to make corrections as often as "errors" are inserted in these essays. (At 9:44 P.M. an "error" was inserted even in this introductory statement.) The obstacles to using my computer are very great, writing may be impossible for now, new "errors" will be inserted repeatedly. I will struggle against these familiar experiences to communicate. (Please see "What is it like to be tortured?") I am unable to access my MSN account. I will continue to try to do so. October 10, 2007 at 4:41 P.M. I am blocking:

Rumors of an investigation involving not only Jersey City, but other Hudson Municipal Court judges and officials for fixing tickets and minor criminal summonses provoke laughter (what else is new?), together with the alleged real motive for New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram's actions in focusing only on 4 Jersey City judges who are under investigation -- Milgram is said to be under pressure from the Camden Machine to embarass Mayor Healy, an enemy of the South Jersey Democrats, in exchange for a judgeship for Anne down the road. Cash? Rumors are flying.

Gallipoli and Venable "supervising" the municipal courts is even more of a joke. The move to have those two "ensure the integrity of courts" that have no integrity has been greeted by laughter on the street. They can't even flush the legal toilet that is New Jersey. Go ahead, take out a letter from what I've written, obstruct my access to my sites. I will keep fighting to write again tomorrow.

How about some more illegal tracking software, Anne? You sure are "gentlemen" in Hudson County. Frame ups? Threats? (See "Maurice J. Gallipoli and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

Wait till you see what (I believe) is coming on the federal front. How you doing, Senator Bob?

Richard G. Jones, "Some More Trouble in a Troubled Town: Atlantic City's Mayor Has Disappeared," in The New York Times, October 6, 2007, at p. B3.


"ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 5 -- This long suffering city is no stranger to scandal. After all, in the past 40 years, five mayors have either pleaded guilty or been convicted of one bit of criminal malfeasance or another. But few episodes, even by the three-ring standards here, could match the latest act of political theater."

"A week ago, the mayor of this carnival-like town, Robert W. Levy, 64, abruptly stopped showing up at City Hall, and his aides issued a cryptic one sentence news release saying he was temporarily stepping aside to deal with medical matters. He has not been seen in public since, and in that vacuum all sorts of explanations have flourished."

"Whatever made him disappear and hand the reins of government to the city's business administrator, he has a lot more to deal with."

"For one thing there have been reports that the United States attorney for New Jersey is investigating whether Mayor Levy falsified his military record to improperly increase his military pension. Some City Council members are clamoring for the council president to run the city, leading Gov. Jon S. Corzine to say he would ask the state attorney general to look into the question of succession."

"... Speculation and inuendo have been rampant over why the mayor simply dropped from sight. Mr. Levy's lawyer, Edwin J. Jacobs, told the city last week that he had checked into a hospital, but he refused to say where or for how long."

"... To veteran observers of politics in his city where drug-infested neighborhoods are still waiting for the full benefits of the $16 million-a-day casino industry, the episode seems sadly familiar."

"... In recent weeks it was reported that the United States attorney for New Jersey, Christopher J. Christie, was investigating whether Mr. Levy has improperly collected pension payments by claiming that he served in the Special Forces. According to the news accounts, the designation would entitle him to an additional $25,000 in military benefits."

A former West New York mayor was well-known to receive a cut from every illegal gambling machine in the city. The proceeds were collected by the police, in uniforms, every Friday -- allegedly. The former police chief did time for these and other "shenanigans." Most of north Jersey was an illegal drug superhighway to New York city. Cops would wave to the drug mules from Florida as they passed by on their way to the Big Apple. Fortunately, organized crime provided work for young men in the area, reminding them to stay in school and be civic mined between their little jaunts of criminality. Many organized crime figures, allegedly, doubled as elected officials.

Some things never change. Right, Senator Bob? "Let's get tough on crime!"
