December 12, 2008 at 2:21 P.M. After running scans earlier, I have just discovered that my updating feature is blocked again, only 3 files could be backed up, images cannot be posted at this blog or at my profile, essays may be defaced both here and at http://www.Critique@hotmail.com/ I will do my best to keep writing.
December 11, 2008 at 11:11 A.M. My updating feature of my security system was blocked, again, this morning. I will continue to struggle throughout the day to restore my system and run scans of my computer.
December 10, 2008 at 4:22 P.M. A massive attack on my computer system leaves me with a red notice indicating that "Browsing is Not Safe: Auto-Protect off." Updating and back-up are blocked, essays will be vandalized, especially Fidel Castro's "History Will Absolve Me." I will try to cope with these new attacks. If I do not write for more than 2 days, then it will not be voluntary. I will work on a new essay examining La Cosa Nostra in North Bergen, New Jersey.
December 8, 2008 at 2:32 P.M. Hours of cyberwarfare today makes it very difficult to do new work. I will continue to struggle. I am experiencing great difficulty in updating my security system and in backing up files. This will allow for new attacks against my writings, vandalism, defacements. I will do my best to defend against these attacks. I am still unable to post images at these blogs or at my profile. The total number of hits at these blogs and books is probably between 15,000 and 20,000 and are grossly under-reported at both sites. I will try to upload my book, again, to see whether it will be distributed. I do not know whether my books are still available or have been vandalized also.
December 7, 2008 at 2:00 P.M. At about 1:20 P.M. I was blocked from accessing my sites, updating my security feature is blocked again. I am running scans to try to regain my ability to update my system. I am unable to regain access to Critique. This usually means that essays are being vandalized. I will continue to struggle throughout the day. Perhaps someone has "hung-up" on both myself and President-elect Obama, to say nothing of the Constitution. Metaphor?
December 6, 2008 at 11:01 A.M. I made it back to Critique just long enough to change the image in my profile. The obstructions and harassment make it impossible to do any writing at that site today. This usually means that "errors" or defacements of copyright protected material is taking place. The First Amendment is a joke to these New Jersey politicians. Public criminality is also "not a problem."
This experience is not unusual (for me), despite the criminality of conspiracies to violate civil rights, notably those involving the use of governmental resources and technology. Dirty New Jersey cops are usually in the pay of organized crime in the Trenton "area." Is Richard J. Codey filling-in for Corzine this weekend? If so, then it would explain a lot. Perhaps there is news from the Menendez grand jury? Is it true that both men hung up on President-elect Barack Obama? It wouldn't surprise me. I will continue to struggle.
December 6, 2008 at 10:12 A.M. I was just obstructed in efforts to reach my MSN group. I will continue to struggle to reach that site.
December 4, 2008 at 7:49 A.M. I do not owe any person -- including any former employee -- money, not in any amount, not for any reason. Any "fees" (of any kind) suddenly claimed by New Jersey are greatly exceeded by sums owed to me. For example, sums owed in compensation for theft and other crimes committed against me, including violations of civil rights prohibited by federal law. ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture," "What is it like to be tortured?," "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")
A multi-decade effort to bring about a targeted victim's financial ruin is not excused by pointing to bills the person could not pay, initially, as a result of the fruition of these state efforts at personal destruction. Government targeting of individual victims for secret financial warfare and theft, daily criminal violations of rights -- like suppression of free speech -- along with the cover ups of such state actions is profoundly offensive in a Constitutional Republic. I am presenting my bill for amounts due.
Dissidents are not criminals in a free society. Mr. Rabner, how do you live with yourself?
December 3, 2008 at 1:22 P.M. I am unable to back up files due to interference with my security system, evidently these attacks emanate from New Jersey government computers. December 1, 2008 at 1:58 P.M. call received from: 732-649-6123; November 30, 2008 at 2:12 P.M. call(s) received from: 866-800-2202. I expect that this obstruction will allow for further attacks on my writings, defacements and vandalisms of numerous texts. I will do my best to make corrections, once I determine how many essays have been damaged. I will continue to run scans throughout the day.
December 3, 2008 at 10:02 A.M. I was previously prevented from accessing the group, then new "errors" were inserted in this essay and (perhaps) others also. I will struggle to make all necessary corrections.
December 2, 2008 at 5:20 P.M. "Errors" were inserted and corrected in this previously posted essay.

"The federal government is going broke in an attempt to avert the type of calamitous financial collapse that led to the Great Depression. No one would fault the objective, but throwing money at the problem is becoming an end in itself."
"Last week alone, while everyone was still arguing [about] whether a $25 BILLION loan to the Big Three carmakers would be money down a sinkhole, the government committed more than $1 TRILLION to prop up Citigroup and to try to spur lending to consumers and home buyers. Moves to stabilize the system this year have put Americans in harm's way from possible losses on nearly $8 TRILLION pledged in loans, guarantees and investments to financial firms and the crisis is far from over."
How long do you think that the American economy can withstand this loss of wealth and crisis of confidence in the world? When we reach the point at which Citibank is going under, what's left?
"... good crisis management also requires that the calamity of the moment not be allowed to overwhelm good governing. Unfortunately, that is not the case now."
"Good" of you to notice how "good" government requires us to be "good." Nancy Dalva? The New York Times?
"Even, as the rescue tab rises, taxpayers are not being adequately informed or protected. There is as yet no effort to deal effectively with the underlying causes of the problem, especially mass mortgage defaults that feed bank losses. And officials seem to think urgency to act absolves them from considering the longer-term implications of the actions they take."
A follow-up piece in "Business Day," in the next day's Time's, concerns Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren. Ms. Warren has been appointed to "monitor" the "bailout plan." In New Jersey, this appointment would require that Professor Warren set aside a "cut" for politicians and crooked judges -- often the same people -- ensuring that everybody is adequately "greased." Evidently, this "bailout plan" will limit the amounts that may be stolen. Nevertheless, the effort may fail without a proper assessment of the underlying causes of the crisis.
" ... 'You can't just say, Credit isn't moving through the system,' she said in her first public comments since being named to the panel, 'You have to ask why.' ... "
Professor Warren is a radical thinker:
"If the answer is that banks do not have money to lend, it would make sense to push capital into their hands, as the Treasury Department has been doing over the last two months, she continued. But if the answer is that their potential borrowers are getting less creditworthy with each passing day, 'pouring money into banks isn't going to fix that problem,' she said."
No one is willing to address the real causes and reasons for this situation. The mortgage crisis is only a symptom. In the same section of the newspaper there is an article examining the dangers concerning the continued existence of books as central delivery systems of information during the twenty-first century. To my knowledge, no one identifies a connection between these developments.
Well, fewer "good" books being read by policy makers and a corresponding decline in the analytical faculties cultivated among the "educated sectors" of the economy (I think that means "smart people"), coupled with out-of-control greed and the quest for material satisfactions above all other considerations, is bound to result in something like the current nightmare. We will experience and have already seen a loss of the sense of community and abandonment of logical allocations of resources or "intelligent prioritizing." I hate this economic jargon. People will know less stuff and make more stupid decisions because they'll read fewer good books in the future. O.K.?
The one common characteristic that I have found among brutal, fascistic, shockingly ignorant Cubanazos in New Jersey is impatience with ideas or complexity of any kind. Worse, hostility and disdain for those who find it necessary to think and communicate. You cannot solve all problems by beating up or killing someone you happen to disagree with about an issue. (See "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")
Ms. Pelosi said: "We can't do both climate control and financial crisis-management." We will have to do both or the devastating financial consequences and threat to life on this planet will be much more lethal than anything that can be imagined at this point in history. Yes, that means we may lose "a lot of money," along with our lives. Global warming is not a problem that can be set aside. Neither is the looming depression. Depression is exactly what we are dealing with in this crisis.
Despite these headlines, a stampede at Wal-Mart (of all places) resulted in several deaths on the day after Thanksgiving. Greed leading to a rush to make purchases at %30 off regular prices made the trampling to death of pregnant women standing in the way of the store's entrance a matter of mild concern and little effort of recognition after the fact. Police say arrests are unlikely. Nobody cares. I trust that consumers will enjoy their purchases that were clearly made in the spirit of the holiday season.
This is a sick society, a society poisoned by its own wealth and success for much of the twentieth century that is now abandoning -- in practice, if not in rhetoric -- its magnificent humanistic values. The election of Barack Obama may initiate a movement of return and reflection on who we are, as a people, and what we hope to continue to be for ourselves and the world. Obama's presidency is a source of hope. Plus, Obama's got a great Secretary of State. (See "I am 'For' Senator Clinton and Against Anti-Americanism.")
We are more selfish and much more stupid than we were even a generation ago. Politicians cannot say this. America is losing its sense of community and mutuality of obligation as well as sacrifice. Illiteracy among the "educated" population is increasing at astronomical rates. Many of my worst experiences in life, I believe, are at least partly attributable to unforgivable ignorance and stupidity among persons in positions of authority in New Jersey, like Debbie Poritz and Stuart Rabner.
I am amazed at the items of common knowledge that people do not know. Graduates of elite universities ask me to explain things that seem basic to me. How do people in other countries react to such experiences? These same persons asking me to explain things will then treat me like a servant or idiot. Do others around the world have the same experience?
Added to this sad spectacle is the example of two fairly typical American psychiatrists and/or psychologists getting paid by drug companies to promote pharmacological "treatments" that were less than beneficial to victims. Furthermore, these shrinks, allegedly, were aware of problems with the drugs they prescribed and didn't care. Often psychiatrists are in league with government agencies concerned to circumvent their victims' Constitutional and human rights, through the use of hypnosis and drugging, acting secretly to harm persons, deliberately, for purposes of "therapists'" personal gain or abusive experimentation. One such monster said to me, "We can learn from you."
"More evidence has emerged of appalling conflicts of interest that throw into doubt the advice rendered and the research performed by two prominent psychiatrists who have received susbtantial funding from the pharmaceutical industry. The revelations prove, once again, the need for universities and professional societies to crack down on conflicts of interest, and for Congress to pass legislation that will bring hidden conflicts into the open." (See "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Jaynee LaVecchia and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
Where are those reports and records of torture sessions, Terry? OAE? What does that "E" stand for, John? Did you or Debbie Poritz enter into "sexual contact" with Marilyn, Terry? Or was it only Diana? Who was paying you or Diana for your questionable services, Terry? How many other victims are there in the Garden State? How many victims have been informed of Terry's secret activities having an effect on their lives? How many such victims are in the state's prisons? Did you have to "take care" of Stuart Rabner? Peter Harvey? Anne Milgram? What was (or is) their "cut"? Were you sharing information concerning your patients-victims with prosecutors' offices, Terry? Which New Jersey prosecutors were receiving information extracted from persons under hypnosis without their permission or knowledge?
"Dr. Biederman's work and reputation have helped fuel a huge increase in the use of powerful, risky and expensive antipsychotic medicines in young people, an upsurge that brought a warning recently from a federally appointed panel of experts. Now it is hard to know whether he has been speaking as an independent expert or paid shill for the drug industry."
How long do you plan to hide from me, Terry? Have you no sense of the despicable nature of your actions and total betrayal of your oath as a physician, Terry? Does New Jersey speak to me of "ethics"? This is to assume that "physician" is what you were or are, as opposed to a paid state torturer and informer, which seems to be what you continue to be. How does a Jew become Mengele, Terry? The shocking ignorance of a person like Terry Tuchin would have been impossible even fifty years ago. Terry asked me: "Who is Kierkegaard?" This man is a forensic psychiatrist in New Jersey? Even for an informer and torturer, stupidity will be a problem.
"There is a new kind of educated person," Doris Lessing writes, "who may be at school or university for twenty, twenty-five years, who knows everything about a specialty, computers, the law, economics, politics, but knows about nothing else, no literature, art, history, and may be heard enquiring, 'But what was the Renaissance?' 'What was the French Revolution?' ..."

See "Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Jaynee LaVecchia and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey." Why has Jaynee LaVecchia not yet resigned from the New Jersey judicial bench? (See again: "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.") Appearance of impropriety, bringing discredit to the judiciary, calling into disrepute the legal process and outcomes of cases -- all are sufficient for resignation from the bench.
What happened to the $300 MILLION that vanished in the HIP deal?
"Once upon a time, and it seems a long time ago, there was a respected figure. The Educated Person. He -- it was usually he, but then increasingly often she -- was educated in a way that differed little from country to country -- I am of course talking about Europe -- but was different from what we know now. William Hazlitt, our great essayist, went to a school, in the late eighteenth century, whose curriculum was four times more comprehensive than that of a comparable school now, a mix of the bases of language, law, art, religion, mathematics. It was taken for granted that this already dense and deep education was only one aspect of development, for the pupils were expected to read, and they did." (Lessing, p. 68.)
All of this is mostly gone today -- and it shows. The slovenliness of our language and shallow thinking is reflected in our movie choices and in declining reading levels as other nations surpass American educational achievements. There is still time to act.
Will we heed the warning signs before it is too late? Let us hope so.
