A Letter From the DRB, in New Jersey!

March 4, 2008 at 2:29 P.M. I am unable to "back up" items after running security checks. I will continue to run scans 24 hours per day, struggling to work at my home e-mail account. More corruption trials, theft, graft and other such issues affecting New Jersey officials, lawyers, politicians and no doubt compromised OAE officials may be seen in Richard G. Jones, "Affair Is Cited At Fraud Trial Of Ex-Mayor Of Newark," in The New York Times, March 4, 2008, at p. B1. (See New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court" and "More Crooked Judges in Jersey City.")

February 5, 2008 at 12:27 P.M. I am unable to print from my msn group. I am left with a blank page bearing this address:

February 4, 2008 at 11:04 A.M., then again at 2:45 P.M., I received a telephone call from (201) 225-0986. The caller identified himself as "Circuit City." How curious that I receive a phone call from "Circuit City" in New Jersey concerning a "Samsung" t.v. set? Probably just a mistake.

Please see "What is it like to be tortured?" and "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" at my MSN group, Critique. I am unable to access my books on-line. I believe they are still available. New "errors" were inserted by hackers overnight. February 2, 2008 at 12:42 P.M. I am blocking:

I am in receipt of a letter allegedly from "Janette Garcia, Costs Coordinator." The postage permit dated "January 25, 2008" states: "Mailed From 08648, 011A0413002687" and return address: "P.O. Box 962, Trenton, New Jersey 08625-0962." Certified mail, R.R. #"70070220000209611926."

I am informed that I am being billed for $10,144.38. Evidently, this is the cost of the "ethics" litigation brought against me. (Sue somebody, then demand all costs!) Perhaps I am not "cooperating."

"This amount is due no later than February 4, 2008. If you fail to remit payment by the due date, interest will be assessed on the outstanding balance, and we will proceed to file a judgment against you with the Clerk of the Superior Court R. 1:20-17 (e) (3), without further notice."

Furthermore,

"In order to avoid further action send your certified check, bank check or money order to this office. Your check should be made payable to DISCIPLINARY OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE."

Well, unfortunately, I cannot send you a certified check or money order for these "costs." No doubt they are unrelated to my (publicly) expressed opinions, even though they have surfaced many years after this litigation "ended." Certainly, long after I reimbursed all fees to clients for work I was unable to complete due to my suspension as a result of this very same litigation brought by you.

I understand that you will enter a judgment against me. However, I am unemployed at this time. I have no bank account. I have no assets of any kind. This may have something to do with the experiences described in these posts. Any assets received by me at any future time will go to charities. You are welcome to go after those charities, if any, to collect debts for these so-called "costs." Perhaps Lieutenant Andriani of the Hoboken Police Department will be in charge of these funds. It is my understanding that this cited Rule is not applicable to my situation. (More "errors" will be inserted in these essays on a daily basis.)

I will continue to write. My response to this letter -- saying exactly what I have stated here -- will be written by hand on their own letter and sent back, immediately and happily, by certified mail to:

Richard J. Hughes Justice Complex (Irony?)
P.O. Box 962
Trenton, New Jersey 08625-1011
attention: "Janette Garcia."

Have a nice day. Incidentally, this letter seems like your immortal prose, John. Why the anonymity?

There's a Limit to How Much You Can Steal From N.J. Chumps -- Maybe.

At a press conference today, a former Bogota, New Jersey Mayor (Mr. Lonergan), charged Anne Milgram with politically motivated attacks against the First Amendment in the aftermath of Lonergan's arrest for handing out leaflets against Governor's Corzine's rate increases. Ms. Milgram and the Corzine Administration have often been accused of deliberate violations of civil liberties, censorship, politically motivated legal actions and worse. Does this sound familiar? (See "Censorship and Cruelty in New Jersey.")

It is irrelevant whether I agree or disagree with Mr. Lonergan's opinions. The First Amendment protects the opinions we hate as much as those that we share. January 25, 2008 at 2:45 P.M. I cannot access my e-mail at my home account. There are also many difficulties posting essays today. I will continue to run scans. (See "What is it like to be tortured?")

Jeremy W. Peters, "Ex-Senator Can't Use Campaign Fund in Legal Case," in The New York Times, January 24, 2008, at p. B6.

"TRENTON -- A former state senator in New Jersey who is facing federal fraud and corruption charges" -- which of the many corrupt N.J. senators do you mean? -- "cannot use money in his campaign account to pay for his criminal defense, [you mean, his "costs"?] a state commission said on Wednesday in a ruling that could establish a precedent for public officials and candidates facing criminal charges."

It is amazing what a little publicity can accomplish. No wonder the Jersey Boys like to detain or confine (torture?) journalists. No wonder they attack these writings. They almost had their hands on that cash, then all the press coverage made the dispersal of the loot politically ... "impossible."

"Although Mr. Bryant's case was the only one before the commission, the ruling would appear to block several other former state legislators who are facing criminal charges" -- this may be bad news for Senator Bob, who is investing in Malox at this time -- "from using their campaign reserves to defend themselves."

Senator Robert "Bob" Menendez continues to insist, through spokespeople, that he "represents all the people of New Jersey in a glorious coalition."

"Another former state senator Sharpe James of Newark, and two former state assemblymen, Alfred E. Steele of Paterson and Mims Hacket, Jr. of Orange, have been accused of criminal wrongdoing. A third former state senator, Joseph Coniglio of Bergen County, [a.k.a. "Big Joe"] has been told that he is the target of a federal investigation."

"State campaign finance records show that of the former lawmakers who have criminal cases hanging over them, only Mr. Coniglio has used his campaign war chest to pay lawyers, in August and September, he paid $90,000 to Krovatin & Associates, a Newark firm that specializes in racketeering and corruption cases."

Where's the OAE to ask these lawyers specializing in "racketeering and corruption" why they charged so much money up front? What have they done with the money? How is it being used? Why did they not charge a less exhorbitant sum? Such inquiries -- directed at Latino lawyers receiving much lower fees -- are not unusual in New Jersey. I wonder why that is? How much do such attorneys need to kick back to the OAE, Stuart, in order to left alone? Political contributions?

"[Coniglio] did not seek an opinion from the commission before making the payments."

Bryant's mistake was in asking for the rubber stamp, allowing the ... eh, "shenanigans" to make into the newspapers. "Hey, don't we have friends on the newspapers no more?" Comments such as these have been heard this week in the corridors of power in Trenton. (See "Jay Romano and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

"Federal prosecutors have said that Mr. Bryant, 60, arranged a $37,000-a-year job for himself at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey -- in addition to his $49,000 salary as a state senator -- in exchange for steering millions of dollars in grants to the school."

Mr. Bryant is a lawyer (like Paul Bergrin), but is still not facing ethics charges according to news coverage. Mr. Bryant is not a "bad apple," according to New Jersey's OAE officials, who are very good apples indeed. (See "New Jersey's legal System is a Whore House" and "One of New Jersey's Highly Ethical Attorneys Has a Problem.")

"... Mr. Bryant was paid by the university to lobby himself, prosecutors have said."

No conflict of interest, huh? What does your rule book say, John?

Cruelty and Censorship in New Jersey.

A wave of new computer attacks makes it necessary to try to restart my computer to update my security system. I never know whether I will be able to get back to this site or continue writing. I will always try to do so. January 23, 2008 at 5:31 P.M.

My essay on "Arthur Schopenhauer's Metaphysics of Art" was vandalized overnight at my MSN group. I have made corrections this morning. January 29, 2008 at 12:47 P.M. I am blocking:

Telephone calls received from: 410-774-8018 at 10:43 A.M. on January 29, 2008. (See "What is it like to be tortured?")


Writing is a daily struggle against hackers, viruses, and other obstacles to self-expression, producing alterations, defacements, and destruction of my written work. The illegality -- even criminality -- of N.J. government efforts to suppress speech is not a concern for the authorities in that jurisdiction. The same men and women, I believe, who are entrusted with enforcing the Constitution are complicit in the violation of its most cherished provisions, such as the First Amendment. This is to desecrate the graves of the men and women who have fought to preserve our Constitutional liberties. People in N.J. government presume to judge and comment on my "ethics," even as they lack any sense of ethical obligation or legality themselves. If they did possess even minimal decency, they could not engage in these censorship efforts.

"The editor of a newspaper who said he was detained by the police in September sued the Police Department on Wednesday, saying that his rights were violated when officers demanded that he hand over photogrpahs of a crime scene and handcuffed him to a bench when he refused."

"... A police official who came to the scene asked the photographer about his immigration status, violating a state directive that prevents local law enforcement officers from asking the immigration status of witnesses to crimes. In a statement released on Wednesday, the police director Garry F. McCarthy, said that in response to the photographer's allegations, the department had started a 'more comprehensive training program' and had disciplined the police official, Deputy Chief Samuel A. DeMaio."

This still looks like a good faith mistake from a police official. On the other hand, a judge asking such questions or senior officials should be held to a higher standard and disciplined or removed for violating them. The concern arising from this incident is the chilling effect on First Amendment rights. Intimidation of journalists resulting from such police tactics is not unforeseeable.

"The journalists were taken to a police station, according to the lawsuit. When Mr. Lima asked that the camera be returned, he was told he would have to give the police all the copies of the photos taken at the crime scene, according to the suit. He refused, and a police officer handcuffed him to a bench for about half an hour" -- this photographer is a person who committed no crime -- "but did not charge him, Mr. Lima says in the lawsuit."

Notice the resolution of the incident:

"He said he was released only after he accepted the advice of a Municipal Council member for the area, Augusto Amador, who told him to give the police the photos."

Kareem Fahim, "Newark Editor Sues Police, Charging Rights Violation," in The New York Times, January 24, 2008, at p. B7.

If police do not want an incident covered or are subjects of unflattering coverage, they simply seize the journalist, imprison him or her, and confiscate his or her camera. Much the same is true in many societies today. This sort of understandable response by police officials to possible gentle criticisms of corpses in the streets of their cities are prohibited under the American Constitution. This prohibition of censorship is (evidently) unknown to an elected official in New Jersey, who is no doubt a lawyer specializing in Constitutional issues.

Keep an eye on the spacing of paragraphs in this essay and notice the "errors" that will be inserted in the text, routinely, as part of a continuing effort to induce collapse, through frustrations, together with the suppression of so-called "radical" speech. Defenses of the U.S. Constitution are now called "radical speech." Power is always offended by anyone's independence in thought and deed. (One new "error" inserted and corrected.) Quite a few people in N.J. law and politics are driven by a frightening will to power that can only be described as hideous and haunting when it is experienced "up close and personal."

We no longer live in a society that is concerned to protect individual freedom and social equity. The failure to recognize the violations of autonomy and privacy that are part of increased security measures that are simply taken for granted is shocking, also inexplicable. What happened to this country?

9/11 is no answer to these complaints. The horrors that I describe long predate that terrible Tuesday. Government gets my DNA if I commit a minor traffic infraction. My earnings, bank accounts, credit card purchases, movie viewing and library choices are monitored by government, without judicial supervision, under new legislation. Much the same occurred prior to the collapse of the Twin Towers, often illegally. Post-9/11, these horrors have reached a new level of Orwellian ominousness.

Judges have always known this sort of government overreaching takes place, even as they disregard or pretend not to know of it. Internet visits are monitored for millions of people. In N.J., for example, psychobabblers spouting drivel are secretly authorized to gather information to be used against individuals -- in violation of Constitutional guarantees and their own professional oaths -- information usually accompanied by analyses worthy of dim-witted adolescents (that is, analyses typical of lawyers and persons untrained in the "healing arts"), that are accepted as authoritative and unchallenged by judges.

What happened to rights to confrontation and cross-examination, or even notice? Victims of such government information-gathering or tortures are not afforded an opportunity to respond to accusations of which they are unaware and expert analyses whose imbecility the victims are not permitted to reveal through cross-examination. For such therapists and their judicial bedmates to speak to me of "ethics" is to enter the realm of the surreal.

Americans were shocked after Watergate to learn that their governments lie. Today, people would be astonished to discover an American or any government that tells the truth. I am particularly saddened and angry to discover sadism and pleasure in cruelty among persons who call themselves "Jews." How is this possible less than one hundred years after the grotesque experiments in the death camps by Mengele and his medical "colleagues"? How is it possible that you, DEBORAH T. PORITZ, and you, TERRY TUCHIN, are co-conspirators to the violation of human beings' fundamental rights through subjection of persons to "experimental methods" of control, to secret and unsought "experiments," including hypnosis, that are really only means of extracting information from victims who are often permanently damaged? How can you use the Constitution as toilet paper? Is your only answer to remove or supply an extra letter from a word in this essay? Or to alter the spacing of my paragraphs? (A new "error" was inserted and corrected in this paragraph over the weekend. February 4, 2008 at 10:35 A.M.)

Victims learning of experiments to which they were subjected under false pretenses or without consent -- even as recently as 1998 or later -- called them "evil, compared them to 'Nazi experiments,' and said they were 'reminiscent of abuses from the psych wards of the gaslight era.' If a person is going through enormous suffering already, and then a doctor induces physical [or psychological] suffering on top of that, isn't that abuse of power?' ..." Robert Whitaker, "The Nuremberg Code Doesn't Apply Here," in Mad in America (Cambridge: Perseus, 2002), p. 246.

Even worse are tortures and experiments imposed on victims (without their consent) by physicians that are used to extract damaging information from victims to be used against them in legal proceedings. Physicians who then lie or cover-up what they have done with the assistance of lawyers and judges long after their victims are involved in legal proceedings of any kind. (See "Psychological Torture in the American Legal System.") These actions are taken in disregard for the prohibition of all such conduct that "shocks the conscience" -- in the words of the U.S. Supreme Court in Mapp v. Ohio -- so that evidence procured by such barbaric means is unacceptable, even in criminal cases, and certainly never in civil proceedings. New Jersey says: "We don't care about the U.S. Supreme Court or the Constitution."

The events of the Second World War still hover at the edge of memory, as a Jewish state -- whose survival is a moral necessity for humanity -- sacrifices its ethical uniqueness to pursue policies guaranteed to result in more innocent civilian casualties. Those of us who love Israel and hope for its continued flourishing are puzzled by this horrifying state of affairs. Who would have predicted this atrocity in 1945? Who would have imagined that the children of death camp survivors would be responsible for the sufferings of the Palestinian people: wire fences, shooting of children, a militarized zone? How many crimes by ALL nations are excused by the concern for "security"? Stalin's Soviet Union was "secure." Is that Gulag-like society a model that we wish to emulate in the United States or Israel? Has it already arrived in New Jersey?

The response to these well-documented accusations (see the articles in the "general" and "psychology" sections at Critique) from N.J. intellectuals and legal professionals is apathy. There are lengthy and non-comprehending discussions in elite publications of the latest cinematic blockbusters and summers spent on the beaches of Long Island as global suffering reaches a colossal scale. The self-indulgence and alienation of America's intelligentsia and the focus of many of its privileged members on ephemera is mortifying. The indifference to dehumanization and objectification baffles me as political candidates berate each other over personality issues and p.c. nonsense. The distance between the United States and the rest of the world increases. The need for the cooperation of other countries to prevent future terrorist incidents against Americans also increases, even as that cooperation becomes less likely, every day.

Government always justifies crimes by warnings concerning a "few bad apples." The government tree is rotten and all apples are bad when Constitutional guarantees are discarded in the interest of so-called expediency. Torture becomes a governmental routine for men and women who quickly see their crimes as "unpleasant, but necessary." These are the offenders who usually, secretly, delight in their cruelties. The goal is control -- control of opinions and speech, of the lives of others. All of the following can be said of New Jersey and its victims as well as of Iraq:

"In subjecting randomly selected Iraquis to abuse, American forces are following a well-trodden path, but the type of torture that has been practiced has some distinctive features. Unlike the Russians or the French, who inflicted extremes of physical pain as well, US forces in Iraq appear to be relying on techniques that focus on the application of intense psychological pressure. ... disorientation, sensory deprivation, and sexual humiliation. [Frustration?] These are all forms of abuse" -- specialties of persons like Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli -- "that would damage any human being, but leading Iraqui males around on dog leashes and covering their heads with women's underwear look like techniques designed specifically in order to attack the prisoner's identity and values. The result is that an indelible image of American depravity has been imprinted on the entire Islamic world."

John Gray, "Power and Vainglory," in Mark Danner, ed., Abu Ghraib: The Politics of Torture (Berkeley: North Atlantic Books, 2004), pp. 49-50. (See "What is it like to be tortured?" and "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")

I am suggesting that when similar tactics are used, secretly, against citizens whose opinions are considered "dangerous" or who are made targets for the solicitation of grievances in civil ethics proceedings -- tactics used either before or long after such proceedings are terminated -- something has gone seriously wrong with the legal system. It should not be necessary for me to argue that it is wrong or inappropriate to obstruct my communicative efforts in a free society -- to destroy my image-posting feature, to delete letters or insert other "errors" in my words and sentences, to force me to make corrections thirty, forty, or fifty times because you don't like what I say. Such tactics make you (not me) a criminal, transforming you into the most rotten of the rotten apples.
Where is the outrage on the part of the press or legal profession? Why are people so intimidated? Is the power of the N.J. mafia and political machine so overwhelming? Members of the press and legal profession are in the same political parties determining opportunities for advancement and complicit in these crimes, which have led one state to fiscal catastrophe -- $32 BILLION in debt, 200 + convictions of political operatives and made members of the organization, THEFT OF $100 MILLION OR MORE from local hospitals, the use of ferocious dogs and other documented tortures, corroborated allegations of murder in county jails, widespread corruption among judges indulging in child molestation and porn distribution, corrupt elected officials, tainted New Jersey Supreme Court decisions and lawyers neglecting their obligations to the poor and powerless in a desperate as well as greedy effort to steal money from insurance companies and tax payers. The spectacle can only produce increasing disgust in obervers all over the world. Ethics? Do you speak to me of ethics? (New "errors" were inserted by hackers, overnight, in this text.)

Mark Danner rightly concludes that the "Abu Ghraib photographs and the terrible story that they tell have done great damage to what was left of Americans' moral power in the world, and this is [the] power to inspire hope rather than hatred among Muslims." (p. 42.) New Jersey's residents and perhaps persons living in other parts of the country are increasingly trapped in a Guantanamo-like archipelago, where civil liberties flicker in and out of existence for undisclosed reasons.

My experience of torture and forced encounters with inhuman sadists enjoying secretly inflicting wounds on victims is something no one expects to live through within America's borders. These horrors are routine aspects of the lives of millions of incarcerated men and women in the United States. Each time that you see an "error" inserted in these texts or alterations in the spacing of these paragraphs, allow these thoughts and warnings to drift back into your consciousness, think of these "errors" inserted in my work as wounds inflicted not only on me, but also on the American Constitution.

Today, I happen to be the victim; tomorrow, it will be you or your child, or your favorite writer and newspaper. Adlai Stevenson, a Democrat, recognized that "carelessness about security is dangerous." However, Stevenson went on to say that: "carelessness about our freedom is also dangerous." Security as what?

New Jersey $32 BILLION in Debt as Politicians Are Sentenced!

January 17, 2008 at 5:45 P.M. I am unable to regain access to my hotmail account or group. I will continue to struggle to get back to msn. My cable signal was blocked, briefly, at 6:20 P.M. I will continue to find creative ways to post new work.

My access to blogger was obstructed this morning. I could not sign out or re-enter the site. Eventually, I found an unorthodox route to blogger. I am running scans. Any new damage to these writings will be corrected as quickly as possible.

January 16, 2008 at 7:56 A.M. I will be battling new computer attacks all day. If more than two days pass without a new comment, it will not be voluntary. I will find some way to continue writing. I will try to reach my MSN group, Critique.

Ken Belson & David W. Chen, "To Sell Higher Tolls, Corzine Talks Bonds," in The New York Times, January 15, 2008, at p. B1.
"Trenton: Former Commerce Official Sentenced," in The New York Times, January 15, 2008, at p. B4.
"Hoboken: No Indictment of Police Officials," in The New York Times, January 15, 2008, at p. B4.

"A former top state commerce official was sentenced in State Superior Court on Monday" -- by one of the few N.J. judges who is not also subject to sentencing, I hope -- "to six and a half years in prison for public corruption. The official, Lesly [sic.] Devereaux ... former chief of staff to the Commerce, Economic Growth and Tourism Commission, was convicted in July of official misconduct and pleaded guilty in October to welfare and public records tampering charges. Ms. Devereaux, 49, of Piscataway, admitted creating fake documents" -- it looks like she was pissing-this-a-way! -- "to mask her role in steering $11,000 in state contracts to her mother and sister. Her lawyer, Jack Furlong, said she [Devereaux] would be elligible for a tightly controlled parole program after six months."

In order to prevent anyone from supposing that N.J. law enforcement and judicial action is legitimate, the following anouncement also appeared in the paper:

"Edward J. De Fazio, the Hudson County prosecutor, said on Monday that he would not seek indictments of Hoboken's police chief and a lieutenant accused of forcing subordinates to perform work at their homes on police time."

Maybe this sudden resolution of their troubles explains the new attacks against my computer and my difficulties in writing this morning. I am saddened and disappointed by this revelation from Hudson County. I can't say that I am surprised, however, despite my respect and admiration for Mr. De Fazio. The problems in New Jersey (especially in Hudson County) are system-wide. Anybody who is Hudson County Prosecutor must be a political animal to survive. That means you "gotta wheel-and-deal!"

"The Jersey Journal reported that Mr. De Fazio said there was not enough evidence to indict the chief, Carmen LaBruno, and the Lieutenant, Angelo Andriani, [I thought prosecutors could 'indict a ham sandwich'?] who headed a SWAT unit, but 'there were clearly administrative issues that should be addressed.' ..."

Knowing Mr. De Fazio and reading between the lines, I interpret this to mean that there was not enough evidence to convict these two, if they were indicted (which would have been feasible and should have been done anyway). Admittedly, Mr. De Fazio would probably love to do just that -- convict them, that is. Political pressure, Ed?

Staying within the constraints of what a prosecutor is "ethically permitted to say," which is also a joke in N.J., I surmise that the bottom-line here is that the Hoboken cops are responsible for serious wrongdoing and may get away with it. They've probably done worse in the past and everybody knows it. "Ethical" is a laugh word in New Jersey, especially when it comes to the OAE and judges. Smearing me or attacking my on-line writings, again, proves my point. (See "What is it like to be tortured?") "Errors" inserted overnight at my msn group were corrected this morning. January 19, 2008 at 11:47 A.M.

"Lieutenant Andriani was sued in October by five officers who said he coerced four of them to work on his house when they should have been on duty. [Maybe they'll get Andriani to pay for their costs! Or Andriani can get them to pay for his costs!] Lieutenant Andriani has denied the allegations. The SWAT unit was disbanded in November after racy pictures emerged [following] trips to the New Orleans area to help Hurricane Katrina victims."

Hoboken's police department (along with other police departments) has been rocked by allegations of KKK units or organizations to which several officers belong. (See "New Jersey's KKK Police Shocker," "Maurice J. Gallipoli and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey," and "America's Holocaust.")

"Gov. Jon S. Corzine wants you to believe that no politician in New Jersey can be trusted to safeguard the state's finances, except one: himself."

I agree with Corzine. And I even have my doubts about him. Luckily, Corzine doesn't need to steal. I wonder whether Jay Romano worked on this New York Times story, surreptitiously? Or the Zulima Farber stories? This "Romanoesque" quality would explain the snotty undertone of so much New Jersey news coverage in the Times, coverage aimed against targets of the sub rosa political establishment in the Garden State -- like those Zulima Farber items not so long ago. Zulima should ask New Jersey to pay for her costs.

"Corzine is pointing to practices that put the state $32 BILLION IN DEBT."

The tax payers will have to pay for New Jersey's costs -- and how.

One way of characterizing these "practices" that have cost New Jersey 32 BILLION walnuts is "THEFT," otherwise known in Jersey City as "business as usual." As they say in Union City: "We don't speak English." When asked about all of this, Richard J. Codey said, allegedly:

"Where'd the money go? I don't know. You got it? I don't got nothing. We wuz with dem other guys when the money got took."

Senator Bob responded:

"I am for all the people."


Stuart Rabner explained, through his law clerk, that he can neither confirm nor deny "demurring" at this time. However, at such future time as it is appropriate to do so, Chief Justice Rabner will issue an unsigned opinion concerning the considerations for and against "demurral" -- theoretically speaking -- without resolving the issue one way or the other at any time, if Rabner's lucky, that is.

Anne Milgram could not be reached for comment. Although most other officials with the A.G.'s office can, and have been "reached." A spokesperson who declined to identify his/her gender, race, ethnicity or political persuasion, name, or even whether this person existed or exists, in a metaphysical sense, would say only that Ms. Milgram was "bummed out" over these developments because they had ... "like, totally ruined [her] afternoon, duh."

New Jersey's legal and political system has become an international laughing stock as politicians continue to steal, on the one hand, then to complain that there are "budget short-falls" and a need for drastic "revenue enhancement" measures on the other hand. Talk to me about "ethics" in New Jersey. (An "error" was inserted and corrected in this last sentence.)

There are crooks and thieves everywhere, but nowhere is the political thievery and criminality or stupidity and ignorance as blatant and obvious -- or as shameless -- as in the corridors of power in Trenton, New Jersey. If you live in the Garden State, then you should be furious at what these "made men" are doing with your hard-earned money. They have no decency or ethics. (See "Jay Romano and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.") (Another "error" inserted and corrected.)

"Former State Senator Wayne R. Bryant of New Jersey, who is facing criminal corruption charges, is hoping to tap a new source to help pay mounting legal bills: his campaign account."

Get this:

"Lawyers for Mr. Bryant have filed a request with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission to use money left in the account to pay for defending him against charges that he used his influence to arrange a no-show job for himself at the state medical school."

"Mr. Bryant, 60, a veteran New Jersey lawmaker from Camden" -- that explains a lot! -- "who decided not to run for another term after he was indicted in March, earned $37,000 a year from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey -- on top of his $49,000 salary as a state senator -- in exchange for steering millions in grants to the school, federal prosecutors have said."

No speeches this week honoring good old Wayne?

Mr. Bryant, essentially, stole taxpayer money for doing nothing, allegedly, now he asks to steal donors' money not based on shared political beliefs, but because of his own need for legal representation in a criminal case. Bryant has not been sanctioned by the OAE and was not a target of any OAE investigation prior to the feds indicting him. To my knowledge, based on news accounts, no OAE charges are pending at this time against this legal eagle.

Every attorney accepts fees up front for work to be performed subsequently. How long it will take to perform that work can never be determined ahead of time. This "ethical attorney" from N.J., evidently, scammed taxpayer money for a no-show job (more than one!), and now also seeks to abscond with some donation money, according to news accounts, while being regarded as a highly ethical member of the most corrupt state legal profession in the United States. Maybe Bryant is sharing the loot with the OAE? I wouldn't be surprised.

There are attorneys in New Jersey who, secretly, meet with other lawyers' clients, fail to identify themselves to that colleague, then ask that client to get his or her money back from the first lawyer (who may have just been retained), in order to steal the loot as well as the client. For some reason, such thieving lawyers end up on ethics committees in New Jersey or as judges. Ethics? The OAE illegally solicits grievances, then "evaluates" them and lies about the solicitation.

$4.5 MILLION was paid to Judge Stern's law firm for services necessary to repair the harm from thievery (or "misappropriation") of public moneys at U.M.D.N.J. (where $100 to 400 MILLION vanished) without attracting the curiosity of the OAE. The OAE is an agency that rightly recognizes this sum as "chump change" compared to what is stolen by N.J. lawyers from tax payers "legally." Perhaps the O.A.E. gets a "cut" from the disappearing money?

The answer from OAE officials will be to try to go after me again. (See "A Letter From the DRB, in New Jersey!") Attorneys reimbursing money for incomplete work -- often through no fault of their own -- who are inevitably far more honest and ethical than OAE whores are judged by hacks in Trenton, who then seek to legitimate their criminality with further abuse of victims' rights. No new "errors" inserted yet? (January 11, 2008 at 2:11 P.M.) See "What is it like to be tortured?"

Such government frauds sicken me. You want the judges or election commission to approve your lawyers' application to pocket the dough the chumps sent you, Wayne? Just let them know that you'll kick back something under the table so they can wet their beaks. Easy. Most of the people on that state entity ("sucking on the taxpayer tit") are your buddies from the state house and fellow legal sharks. They'll chuckle with you about it. Don't forget to take care of Anne Milgram. I am sure that Milgram "squares" things with Stuart Rabner. Allegedly.

"A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that the former mayor of Newark, Sharpe James, will face two separate trials on corruption charges."

"Mr. James, 71, will be tried alone on charges that he improperly used city-issued credit cards. In another trial, he and a businesswoman whom prosecutors say was his companion will face land fraud charges." (See "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")

In a state like New Jersey -- as obscene as Bryant and James may appear -- they are boy scouts compared to the men in blue suits responsible for the disappearance of millions and even billions from the public coffers. As for efforts to report corruption and incompetence, here is the result of honesty in New Jersey:

"New Jersey's former boxing commissioner is suing the state attorney general" -- Was it Anne Milgram who wrote the "Anonymous" text about an unidentified "ex-attorney"? -- "claiming she [Milgram] ousted him for exposing errors by a subordinate. The former commissioner Larry Hazzard Sr., filed in Federal District Court [Good!] on Friday. Mr. Hazzard, a former boxer and referee, was fired in November. The board oversees boxing in Atlantic City, one of a handful of cities where big prizefights are often fought. A spokesman for the attorney general" -- is it true that Anne Milgram and Stuart Rabner are "chummy"? -- "declined to comment on Tuesday."


I bet. I wonder whether Anne Milgram visited "The Philosophy Cafe"? I wonder whether Anne wishes to renew any philosophical debate with me, publicly? Any time, Anne. Ready when you are.

What is the result of all this thievery, corruption, and cover-ups of criminality?

"Under the Corzine proposals highway tolls would increase by a maximum of 50 percent four times in 12 years -- in 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022 -- and be adjusted for inflation."

More goodies to steal. Hey, fat Tony, we got it made!

Crooked Politicians in New Jersey Receive Effusive Farewells From Co-Conspirators.

January 9, 2008 at 3:21 P.M. My security system has been disconnected. I will attempt to restart my computer. Several attempts to post a revised version of my essay "Is it rational to believe in God?" have been obstructed. I will continue to attempt to repost that essay throughout the day and evening. If I am unable to restart my computer, then I will continue writing from a public computer.

January 9, 2008 at 10:24 A.M. I have spent about twenty minutes trying to get back to my msn group. I will spend the rest of the day struggling to return to Critique. Illegal obstructions of my cable signals and Internet use continue to be a problem. Revisions of a long essay on the rationality of belief in God that I worked on, again, this morning were destroyed by hackers. I will try again tomorrow. I have decided to discuss more New Jersey judges in response to these tactics.

January 8, 2008 at 2:06 P.M. I spent all morning posting an essay on the rationality of belief in God, correcting "errors" inserted overnight, then struggling against more obstructions. Unfortunately, new "errors" were inserted in the text during the past hour or so. I will re-post the essay. Then I will return to it tomorrow -- and every day, for as long as it takes, weeks, months or years -- to correct new "errors" inserted by N.J. hackers and/or mafia hirelings from Trenton. (Dates may be changed at any time in these posts.)

January 8, 2008 at 11:43 A.M. phone calls from 858-428-3206 and 517-931-2078 at 11:51 A.M. -- efforts to remove my number from call lists have no effect on these calls. I am blocking:

To understand my experience of hackers and daily destruction of writings, see

I can never be sure that I will be able to continue writing. I will struggle to do so every day.

David W. Chen, "In Trenton, Farewells Are Effusive, if Not All Fond," in The New York Times, January 7, 2007, at p. B1.


"... several departing [N.J.] legislators may be going from the State House to the jailhouse. Two Senators have been indicted by the United States attorney, and a third has been notified that he is likely to be charged. Two Assembly members indicted on federal corruption charges last year have already taken their leave."

These N.J. legislators are mostly lawyers, so where is the OAE? (A new "error" inserted and corrected on January 11, 2008 at 2:23 P.M.)

The best is yet to come. Anticipated indictments of prominent political figures in the Garden State, such as Senator Bob and others, will allow for many more nice speeches about what great guys and gals these crooks are -- also how "ethical" these legal eagles tend to be.

A concession stand providing pop corn to those wishing to wave goodbye to Trenton politicians as they are hauled off to prison is doing a nice business these days. No viruses yet? Hey, what about Rudy Garcia and Brian Stack? Menendez guys, right?

"One lobbyist, who did not want to be identified because he earns a living by working with legislators, described the practice this way: 'It's almost like a character letter for someone being sentenced -- you talk about the person and not the offense.' ..."

There must be something nice to say about the likes of Codey, Roberts, Cardinale -- is Cardinale really "next"? -- and the boys. Badda-bing, badda-boom ... he, he, he. Go ahead, take a letter out of this essay. I'll put it back in. Geez. What are ya gonna do?

"Among those honored on Dec. 13 was Assemblyman Charles T. Epps Jr., who took office in 2006 and who is also the Jersey City superintendent of schools. Mr. Epps chose not to seek re-election after local newspapers detailed several embarassing incidents, including a lavish trip to London at taxpayer expense."

New Jersey politicians accustomed to what is known in Trenton as "the government tit," tend to get emotional when they are weaned off of that "tit."

"After getting a standing ovation, Mr. Epps, breaking down in tears, said: 'I can't believe I'm going to get sad.' ..."

Not as sad as the voters robbed by the likes of these goofballs and made men of the "family-like" organization that runs the state. Go ahead and get sad. In fact, I hope you get sadder.

"... two assemblymen who have not yet come back are Alfred E. Steele and Mims Hackett, who resigned last year after being arrested in a federal corruption sting and whose seats have since been filled."

I wonder whether Jay Romano of The New York Times provides coverage on himself and his judicial "colleagues." No "errors" inserted yet?

"In the [N.J.] Senate, the farewells for 16 departing colleagues began on Dec. 17, and one of those honored was Joseph Coniglio, a Democrat from Bergen County who was informed by the United States attorney, Christopher J. Christie, that he was the target of an investigation into legislative grants." (See "$5,000 a Month Cut for Joe Coniglio.")

In the revealing words of Senator Gerald Cardinale, " ... I will always feel that you [Joe Coniglio] are part of that family. [emphasis added] Come back and see us sometime."

I agree with you, Gerry. Joe Coniglio is definitely part of that "family."
