May 4, 2008 at 11:56 A.M. A massive computer attack has pretty much frozen my computer. I will run scans throughout the day, try to cope with the problem, and (maybe tomorrow) I will be able to write again. I am unable to access Critique at this time.
May 3, 2008 at 11:41 A.M. I was just obstructed as I was working on essays at my group at MSN. I will struggle to get back to that site, repair any harm done to essays defaced by hackers, then I will fight to keep writing. I will continue to run scans all day. Maybe new indictments are about to be handed down in New Jersey. As of 7:10 P.M. I believe that I have corrected all of the "errors" inserted so far today. The process of inserting "errors" and my efforts to make corrections will be continuous, 24 hours per day. I will run scans around the clock.
On May 2, 2008 at 12:08 P.M. calls from 702-520-1160; May 3, 2008 at 11:55 A.M. calls from 757-990-8980.
May 2, 2008 at 11:49 A.M. I was researching the Penns grove Municipal Court scandal, when my computer was frozen after a new virus struck. I am running a scan. I will make a point of researching this matter thoroughly. I am blocking:

May 1, 2008 at 12:57 P.M. I was just obstructed and prevented from accessing my group, Critique. This is a good sign that I am having an effect on the boys. This means that new "errors" are being inserted in my essays. I will struggle to make the necessary corrections. I will do my best to get back to my work at some point today. I am blocking:

April 30, 2008 at 7:04 P.M. just as the convictions of Guttenberg's mayor and wife were anounced, I was blocked again from Critique. I will continue to run scans and struggle to reach my group, expecting further "errors" to be inserted. More indictments and convictions are on the way. Sentencing for these convicted felons is scheduled for September. Many calls from marketers are just a coincidence, probably: 6:39 P.M. 877-218-5230; 6:50 P.M. 877-218-5230; 7:02 P.M. 877-218-5230. I wonder why I receive so many recorded telemarketer calls?
April 30, 2008 at 5:01 P.M. I was obstructed at 4:55 P.M. from my group. I will struggle to get back to the site. There seems to be a pattern to this experience. Harassment value? (See "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" and "Time to End the Embargo Against Cuba.")
April 29, 2008 at 5:08 P.M. I was just blocked from accessing my msn group, again. Many calls from marketers and advertisers today. I will struggle to regain access to my group. This sort of attack usually means that new "errors (or old ones) are being inserted (or reinserted) in my essays. I will do my best to make corrections. I have run two scans, so far, and I will continue to run scans. I average about 11 viruses per day and many intrusion attempts.
April 29, 2008 at 9:04 A.M. Call from 909-842-8166. It is a federal crime to conspire to violate civil rights, such as privacy and free speech rights. It is also a crime to conspire and actually to cover-up criminal conspiracies and activities. Crimes are usually unethical. Whatta-ya say, fellas at the OAE? Oh, it's O.K. when the OAE commits crimes?
April 28, 2008 at 4:58 P.M. Calls received: at 2:01 P.M. 212-461-4024; then at 4:13 P.M. from this unusual number 000-000-6424. (NJ Police?)
April 28, 2008 at 10:49 A.M. I was in the middle of working on some essays at Critique, when I was obstructed in my access to the site. Numerous essays have been vandalized again. I will make corrections soon. The updating feature of my security system has been blocked by a hacker. I will run scans throughout the day in an attempt to restore it. I am blocking:

April 27, 2008 at 9:59 P.M. I was obstructed, once again, as I was struggling to correct some "errors" inserted in an essay that I had posted earlier today. I will continue to struggle to return to my msn group. Sometimes, I can access the group for ten minutes at a time. When I am unable to access the site, new "errors" or old ones are reinserted in essays that I have previously corrected. "The purpose of torture," George Orwell writes, "is torture." I am blocking:

April 25, 2008 at 11:55 A.M. after about forty minutes of effort, it is very clear to me that I will be unable to write at Critique today. However, I was able to change the image. I will struggle throughout the day to get back to my group and correct whatever damage is inserted (or reinserted) in essays. I am periodically obstructed and prevented from accessing the site, also prevented from posting. I expect additional vandalism and defacements of essays and short stories. I will continue to write somehow and somewhere. This usually means that new indictments are about to be handed down in New Jersey. It's about time! (I still cannot post images in my blog or profile.)
April 24, 2008 at 6:39 P.M. My cable signal was just blocked. I am, once again, unable to access Critique. I will spend the rest of the day trying to get back to my group.
April 23, 2008 at 4:49 P.M. I was just obstructed from accessing my group. This means that new "errors" and other vandalism of my essays will take place. If and when I am able to regain access to Critique, I will do my best to make the necessary corrections. I understand that new indictments of prominent New Jersey politicians are about to become public. What a coincidence? (The title Critique will be altered from its italic form on a regular basis.)

Work on an essay in the drafts section of my HOME computer has been delayed by various insertions of "errors." However, I will continue to struggle to make progress on that work, every day.
April 20, 2008 at 4:32 P.M. I am unable to access my MSN group. In response, I will be working on more judicial profiles and essays examining the N.J. legal system. I will focus in future essays on the law practices of politicians in the Garden State (Senator Bob, remember the good old days?) as well as other poltical scandals. I will continue to try to regain access to my MSN account throughout the day. I will struggle every day in order to continue my work, either at this computer or at a public computer.
Any additional "errors" inserted in my essays during this period will be corrected as soon as possible. All calls or cooperation with the anti-corruption efforts of the U.S. Attorney's Office, I am sure, are deeply appreciated by all law-abiding citizens.
Bob Ingle & Sandy McClure, The Soprano State: New Jersey's Culture of Corruption (New York: St. Martin's 2008).
"If the mafia were a religion, the first song in the hymnal would be 'What a friend we have in New Jersey.' ..." (p. 219.)
"Little Joe Salema" was Florio's man who ran things in Camden County, before Norcross became the political Godfather. Salema "used Florio's clout to place loyalists in elected and appointed positions and to control county policy. Lawyers, consultants, and others who reaped hundreds of thousands of dollars in county contracts in turn contributed to Florio's congressional races." (pp. 209-210.)
Eventually, Salema did some time for one of many scams. (Ibid.) The much-noted Miami and Jersey mob connection dates from the "go-go" or "greedy" eighties.
"... the Florio administration was knee-deep in the process of issuing bonds for various authorities. Huge state bond deals handed out under Governor Florio" -- and under subsequent administrations -- "have opened a pipeline that's pumped more than $1 MILLION from Wall Street financial firms and bond lawyers into the state Democratic Party's coffers." (p. 213.)
Yeah, but was it in the non-federal account? That's the one they like in New Jersey. It's a lot more than that now! No wonder Nancy Pelosi loves Senator Bob. (See again: "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" and "Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")
"... One of the reasons that we're borrowing ourselves into oblivion is that bond issues are how the politicians pay off their investors -- that is, their contributors." (p. 213.)
"When legal advice has been needed, law firms with a history of Democratic giving have gotten the jobs."
Where's the OAE? DRB? AG? Conflict of interest? (See "More From New Jersey's Tainted Law Firms.")
"A role has been found for construction firms whose names appear prominently on lists of ... Democratic contributors." (p. 214.)
"Anthony 'Tony Pro' Provenzano, thought to be a member of the Genovese crime family, was a member of a Teamsters local in Union City, New Jersey." (p. 214.)
Bob Menendez turf. Gambinos and Lucheses (not "Licausis"?) are also well represented in that municipality and county, also among political contributors for local politicians. Since I am being obstructed from accessing my group, I will devote additional essays to these mob-Hudson County connections.
"After going to jail for jury tampering and manipulating a jury pension fund, [ex-Provenzano pal] Jimmy Hoffa was freed by President Nixon in 1971." (p. 220.)
You won't see Hoffa no more. Heh, heh, heh ... I bet Hoffa still gets a N.J. paycheck, though! And he still cashes it. (See "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.") The mafia wants to run Hoffa for congress next year. They already have a friend in the U.S. Senate.
"Danny Provenzano, Tony's nephew, carried on the family tradition. Danny" -- an old friend of Senator Bob? -- "was sentenced to ten years in prison after pleading guilty in 2003 to racketeering. He was among eight named in a forty-one count indictment charging beatings, kidnapping, and murder threats to extract $1.5 MILLION from a dozen victims." (P. 221.)
All with the cooperation of Hudson County authorities, allegedly. You want to talk to me about ethics? How many "errors" inserted so far? North Bergen school administrators were among the defendants in a recent organized crime bust coming out of Bergen County, a follow-up investigation is said to be on the brink of issuing new indictments and arrests. (See "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court.")
John Gregorio's hidden interest in two local go-go bars and other (allegedly) nefarious activities were about to get the former Linden mayor indicted, when somebody "persuaded" former AG Peter "See-No-Evil" Harvey to "forget about it." Horse's head?
Is James R. ("The Zazz") Zazzali really a buddy caught on federal wiretaps "discussing options" in these matters? Or is that only a vicious rumor? Zazzali served as "Chief Justice" on the New Jersey Supreme Court. Yes, people laugh when they hear these things.
Among the partners in Gregorio's deals were "Paul M. Weiner, [an aptly-named] Parsippany attorney and law partner of State Senator Raymond "Shyster Ray" Lesniak -- a Democrat power broker from Union County, host of fund-raisers for Bill Clinton and longtime confidant of Jim McGreevey -- and Agnes Villani [also aptly-named] wife of Benny Villani, who has been banned for life from New York City's trash business because of alleged ties to the Genovese crime family."
Villany, indeed. In New Jersey, such ties are a plus. Former Malboro honcho Matthew Scanapieco "pleaded guilty to tax evasion, [after paying himself $107,000 for sitting on the crime victims' compensation board,] and accepting $245,000 in BRIBES while mayor."
Ethics? North Bergen and Union City will receive full essays soon concerning their mafia histories and the current "affiliations" of politicians and judges from the area. I wonder why I am being obstructed when I try to reach my group?

"NEWARK, NJ -- Former Mayor Sharpe James and his ex-mistress were convicted Wednesday on corruption charges centered on her cut-rate purchase of city land."
"The verdicts were a stunning rebuke to James, who was mayor of the state's largest city for 20 years until 2006 and took credit for redevelopment that included a pro hockey arena that opened in the fall." [sic.]
I was astonished to learn that:
"New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram, whose office investigated and prosecuted the case with federal authorities, said the verdict showed the jury rejected 'the cancerous form of government that Sharpe James presided over.' ..."
Surely, the "cancerous form government" over which Mr. James presided was investigated and prosecuted by the feds. I am under the impression -- and so is the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Christopher J. Christie, who was also astonished by this statement! -- that the U.S. Attorney's Office is EXCLUSIVELY responsible for prosecuting matters in federal court.
Ms. Milgram, apparently, wishes to convey the impression that she is doing something about these crimes and corruption that have come to define her state (and her office). It seems that Milgram stepped before the microphones and cameras as Mr. Christie was taking a bow. Nice move, Anne.
The New Jersey Attorney General would not prosecute N.J. political corruption if her life depended on it. Otherwise, if she locks up crooked politicians, who will make Anne Milgram a judge? Who indeed. Undaunted, Mr. Christie -- shoving Anne Milgram out of the way of the cameras -- positioned himself, smiled (fetchingly), and stated humbly and sincerely:
"This is a guy who believed the property of the people of the city of Newark was property he could feel free to give away to pay off his girlfriend."
Women. The things a guy has to do.
"There is no other conclusion you could reach, after this jury verdict, that Tamika Riley was a kept woman and that she was kept by the money and property of the people of Newark."
Horror and shock. I am dismayed and distraught. And how! Senator Bob said, "See you later."
Mr. James is looking at twenty years max on each conviction. Ms. Riley is also facing substantial time. The unindicted crooks in N.J. politics ("on the one hand, but on the other hand") should get exactly the same penalty -- or worse. As for Ms. Milgram and her minions, they never saw a microphone they didn't like. Mr. Christie should bring elbow pads to the next press conference.

Joe Doria's Business as Usual in New Jersey.
As of about 2:00 P.M., on April 17, 2008, I lost access to my MSN account and my security system was disconnected. I have restarted my computer. I will run scans all day, while doing my best to get back to Critique. Unfortunately, several essays at my msn group have been vandalized. At 1:48 P.M., I received one of many recent calls from 704-633-8373. Over the next days and weeks, I will struggle to make the necessary corrections of my essays, AGAIN. I am unable to access my own group at this time. I will spend the rest of the day trying to regain that access and repair the harm done. April 17, 2008 at 3:27 P.M. If I am unable to get back to my group today, then I will try again tomorrow. I am blocking:

"Editorial: How Not to Develop New Jersey," in The New York Times, April 15, 2008, at p. A15.
Dorothy Samuels, "The Selling of the Judiciary: Campaign Cash 'in the Courtroom,'" in The New York Times, April 15, 2008, at p. A15.
"Anyone who drives around New Jersey should realize that the last thing the state needs is a return to the unregulated home-building boom that left it marred by scattershot housing and clogged highways. The Garden State is likely to get even more of this sort of misguided development, however, if the recently released draft recommendations of a housing task force are adopted. Gov. Jon Corzine must prevent that from happening."
The way N.J. politicians cover their asses when they adopt public policies that are really intended to benefit themselves and their friends is by first creating a committee to investigate an issue. This committee then becomes a "spot." In other words, a public job opportunity for one of the made members of the organization, who will be told what his or her findings should be long before any investigative effort is made.
These findings by committees will always involve an urgent need to spend public money on some project. Typically, the people serving on this committee or their "buddies" will benefit, financially, from the chumps' money. The chumps are the taxpayers -- in every sense. At the moment, New Jersey is $32 BILLION in the hole from the accumulated effects of all the scams of recent years. However, the boys don't care. They want to spend more public money, your money.
"With little public notice" -- that's the idea! -- "the state's new commissioner of community affairs, JOSEPH DORIA, Jr., [the same guy who wanted three jobs, the "political enforcer from Bayonne"!] set up the task force and loaded it with builders and their supporters, along with a few advocates of affordable housing. the result: a blueprint for rolling back environmental protections and allowing greater traffic congestion."
Given the soaring cancer rates, lead and chromium as well as other poisons in the earth and water in New Jersey, residents are NOT asking politicians to "roll back" environmental protections. More people will get sick and die. New Jersey's Senate says: "Who cares?" N.J. Supreme Court justices are busy posing for their portraits.
"The task force recommended, among other things, permitting sewer lines to be laid in environmentally fragile areas and making it easier for builders to construct access roads from their developments that empty directly into main roads, slowing traffic."
Great, additional traffic tie-ups, adding to the pollution problem.
"The recommendations would also make it easier to build homes close to rivers and even in flood hazard areas."
"The proposals closely match the building lobby's wish list. [No, really?] Although Mr. Doria larded the task force with developers, he did not include a single representative from the state's Department of Environmental Protection or other groups likely to resist the developers."
If you wish oppose this disregard for the public interest by people who are responsible for protecting that interest, the courts will provide little assistance. This is because judges are products of the same political clubhouses. In fact, Doria may wind up as a Superior Court judge -- in addition to his other jobs.
The campaign cash in New Jersey is paid to political bosses rather than spent on elections, but judgeships are for sale, just like everything else. In my day, the scoop on judgeships was: 10 years of experience, $25,000 in the right pockets, plus $15,000 more if you need to finesse the so-called "four-way check" because your brother "Cheech" is in organized crime. (One "error" inserted since my previous review.) I hear that little has changed.
Have prices gone up? The cost of living is outrageous. These days, it's not even cheap to bribe politicians and judges in New Jersey. Outrageous, I tell you. Geez ...

More Lethal Poisons Found in New Jersey!
"Three Artificial Turf Fields Shut Down Due to Lead Levels," http://www.MSNBC.com/id/24115686 April 15, 2008
Attempts to print items from my computer, including this article, leave me with a blank page bearing this address:
http://ad.doublick.net/adi/N3285.msn_cusa/B2343920.61;sz=300x250;ord=1929529606? (Cuban American National Foundation?)
"TRENTON, N.J. -- A New Jersey sports field was closed Monday after tests of its artificial turf turned up unsafe levels of lead. It's the second time since December that a ballfield in the state has been closed over concerns about elevated levels [of lead and other poisons] found in turf fibers." (emphasis added)
Hudson County and most urban areas of New Jersey are saturated with life-threatening chemical poisons and carcinogens making the state's real name "cancer alley." As a result of decades of corruption and illegal dumping of dangerous chemicals by, allegedly, mafia-owned waste removal companies and carriers, the residents of the ironically nicknamed "Garden State," have been endangered or even killed.
No wonder they don't want you to read these writings. (See "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Jaynee LaVecchia and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
Ms. LaVecchia strenuously denies any affiliation with the Gambinos, allegedly. How about the Luchese family? Environmental protection laws in New Jersey have become another politicians' lie, along with most of the state's fraudulent institutions -- especially those entrusted with protecting Constitutional rights, including rights to privacy and free speech. My essays were vandalized and defaced, yet again, overnight. I will struggle to make the necessary corrections. April 15, 2008 at 12:14 P.M.
Hudson County's older gas stations, for instance, are often in violation of state environmental protection laws. Seepage of petrochemical products is not unusual. Illegally dumped chemicals and other waste is rumored to contaminate the territory not far from Giants' Stadium, in Secaucus and parts of North Bergen. The authorities will neither confirm nor deny the validity of these allegations, while Weehawken's lovely views of the Manhattan skyline are seen from territory reportedly poisoned by chromium and other buried industrial pollutants. Every day residents are diagnosed with forms of cancer linked to exposure to these poisons.
Efforts to persuade N.J. politicians to pause from their busy schedules of thievery in order to protect the public have been met with derision and indifference. Meanwhile, more persons are diagnosed with "pancreatric cancer" -- to mention only one example -- and other illnesses directly linked to prolonged exposure to such chemicals. (See "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")
If you are one of the persons diagnosed with these often fatal illnesses, then you can thank New Jersey's political mafia for killing you and bringing suffering to your loved-ones, in addition to stealing your money. Hey, isn't that kind of thing "unethical"?
"Hoboken attorney Steven Kleinman said the city shut the playing field at Frank Sinatra Park after the tests by state officials found lead levels far exceeding the Environmental Protection Agency's allowable concentration of the metal."
Inspectors are, allegedly, routinely, BRIBED. The bribe money flows back up to the bosses and underbosses who look the other way as the lives of residents -- including their own relatives -- are further endangered. In addition to unprecedented levels of theft of public funds, sexual bribery of judges and other officials, incompetence in courts and state agencies, there is a lethal surprise awaiting anyone unfortunate enough to find him- or herself living in these marshy territories of partly decomposed bodies and moral as well as industrial rot. (See "One of New Jersey's Highly Ethical Attorneys Has a Problem" and "New Jersey's Legal System is a Whore House.")
How is everyone at the feces-covered Brennan Courthouse? Everything peachy-keen?

Cancer and Chromium Poisoning Results From N.J. Corruption.
Spacing may be affected in this essay. "Errors" may be inserted at any time. I will be running scans all day after new attacks against my computer. April 12, 2008 at 7:52 P.M.
Bob Ingle & Sandy McClure, The Soprano State: New Jersey's Culture of Corruption (New York: St. Martin's, 2008).
Laura Masnerus, "Development on a Toxic Site Draws Scrutiny in New Jersey," in The New York Times, October 2, 2006, at B1.
"WEEHAWKEN, N.J., Sept. 26 -- Hadsome new townhouses selling for more than $2 MILLION hug the waterfront here, and more are on the way. On a curve in the river that offers spectacular views of Manhattan and New York Harbor, earthmovers are at work on a public park."
"But in the view of some environmentalists, the development on this immensely valuable sliver of shoreline is an experiment of sorts because of what lies beneath it: dirt spotted with hexavalent chromium, a manufacturing component that has been identified as a cause of lung cancer, liver and kidney damage and mutilations to human DNA."
"Hudson County is the nation's chromium-waste center, with almost 200 sites where it [chromium] was dumped decades ago."
How is it possible that all of the agencies of N.J. state government failed to protect citizens from this public health hazzard? Where were the people's elected officials? Judges? Mercury in state schools may cause illnesses to children in south Jersey, while contaminants in a Paramus school were allowed to fester, despite the awareness of the authorities. Who will explain to the parents of sick and dying children why nothing was done? How many N.J. officials and inspectors have been bribed, once again, to look the other way as this atrocity was allowed to take place? Do you speak to me of ethics? All you gotta do is get some women for Debbie? A few dollars for Stuart? And the sky's the limit, right boys?
In Newark, massive containers have been placed in public housing projects without explanations. Why is the safety or need for air and open spaces of African-American children dispensable? What is in those containers? Why do people not want them in the suburbs? I suggest that we place them, as sculptures, inside the New Jersey Supreme Court building.
"The state and local authorities have approved everything the developer, Roseland Properties has done, and they say the clean-up has far exceeded their standards."
I bet they do. I wonder why these approvals have been so easily obtained? Have state officials been receiving Broadway tickets and free dinners? Is this merely about cold hard cash? Inquiring minds want to know.
Is New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE) looking into representations made by attorneys on behalf of proponents of this development project? EnCap Golf? Meadowlands Scandal? Xanadu? How much is enough for you? (See "More From New Jersey's Tainted Legal Profession.")
The walking turds at the OAE are so paid-off or stupid that, unless you are causing trouble for the mob in New Jersey, they have no interest in your activities. Hey, any chance I can get that discovery -- all the stuff you left out last time -- including Tuchin's "reports"? How much do you need to take care of that for me?
After all, if representations made "on the record" that it is "safe" to develop properties for luxury residential use are false -- and known to be false -- when made by attorneys, on behalf of developers, then human lives may be endangered from all of the hidden health risks. If attorneys reasonably should have known that their claims that everything is hunky-dory in buidling materials or industrial waste happened to be false as they made them, then they must share some of this liability. Where is the OAE? DRB? AG? Go ahead, insert some "errors" in these essays. I'll keep correcting them. Has spacing been affected again?
It seems clear now that carcinogens are buried under the foundations of people's homes, from Jersey City to North Bergen. I think that such law firm falsehoods, if any, are unethical. Don't you? I wonder why no one cares? The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection:
"... ALLOWED the waterfront project to proceed even though various environmental groups and some scientists in the state agency contend that in residential areas, a [dirt] cap can never be protective enough."
I wonder why this was deemed "totally awesome"? Residents of these fancy new homes have a little surprise coming their way. (See "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary" and "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")
What will OAE officials or New Jersey's contaminated Supreme Court say to people with brain cancers? "On the one hand, but on the other hand ..." If your loved-one dies of cancer will it be O.K. that somebody was paid off at the OAE?
"Several other agency scientists" -- these are the supposed state regulators! -- "speaking on condition of anonymity because they FEARED RETRIBUTION, said that the Department of Environmental Protection had bent to political pressure to speed [so-called] cleanups."
No, you don't say? New Jersey's corrupt politics affects decisions bearing on public safety? I am shocked. How could that be true? It would mean that New Jersey politicians, lawyers -- and even judges -- are corrupt and do not care about the lives of residents in New Jersey. Do you believe that the opinions of such people concerning my ethics means anything? I don't give a shit what any of these assholes thinks of me or anyone else.
Is it possible that, in a state so seemingly "concerned" about whether public officials wore a safety belt in their cars or have ever received a traffic ticket, such vile and loathsome evil passes for governmental action in the public interest? Where's the New Jersey Supreme Court? Where is the state's Attorney General, Anne Milgram? Chief Justice Stuart Rabner? Where is U.S. Senator Robert ("BobbyM") Menendez? How can law enforcement and other officials be AFRAID of the alleged wrongdoers? I'm not.
"On the one hand, but on the other hand ..." Senator Bob said and added: "I am for all the people." I hope that none of you (or your loved-ones) will become sick because of this digusting corruption and incompetence in N.J.'s courtrooms and politics. That corruption should make you sick. You're better off if they just steal your tax money.

Guttenberg Mayor on His Way to the Slammer!
The true number of visitors to this blog or my books' sites is not known. I cannot post images here or at my profile because of obstacles of many kinds. "Errors" will be inserted in these essays numerous times, corrections will be made, then the "errors" will be reinserted. (See "What is it like to be tortured?") April 10, 2008 at 3:59 P.M. calls from 702-520-1195. A lot of telemarketers lately. April 10, 2008 at 4:31 P.M. 610-915-5214.
Jonathan Miller, "Corzine Aide Testifies Against a Former Friend," in The New York Times, April 5, 2008, at p. B2.
"NEWARK -- Javier Inclan, a deputy chief of staff to Gov. Jon S. Corzine, came to Federal District Court here on Friday to testify against former friend and ally, Mayor David Delle Donna of Guttenberg, N.J., who is charged with extorting money from a bar owner accused of trafficking in illegal immigrant girls."
Guttenberg, New Jersey has the distinction (or it did) of having the largest number of taverns per square mile of any town in America. Being in Hudson County, Guttenberg also has plenty of crooked politicians -- politicians who are not capable of friendship or loyalty to anyone. In fairness, I must say the Municipal Court was the best in Hudson County. The town was a three dollar bill by reputation, everything was for sale -- especially, elected officials -- and most appointed town officials were said to be crooked. The Guttenberg Municipal Prosecutor sure wasn't crooked. (See "We don't know from nothing.")
"But Mr. Inclan, who over the last decade rose from an obscure seat on the school board" -- like Senator Bob in Union City? -- "in a small Hudson County town to gain the ear of the state's chief executive, found himself instead on the defensive about his own role in the bribery scheme while serving as a treasurer of Mr. Delle Donna's campaign."
Bribes are usually delivered by "buffers," middle-men the mob can disown when the shit hits the courthouse steps.
"... 'I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that I never pocketed any cash,' Mr. Inclan, who has not been charged with a crime, testified angrily when confronted by Mr. Delle Donna's defense lawyer Ralph Lamparello."
Mr. Lamparello is a good defense lawyer using the old "some other dude done it" or "put it on the delivery man" defenses. What else is he going to do?
One of the best trial lawyers I knew in New Jersey, against whom I tried a criminal case and lost, is Libero Marotta. I learned a great deal in that matter and have the utmost respect for Mr. Marotta and his office partner Mr. Schulman. I would say the same of a gentleman who must be retired by now, Harold Okin. Mr. Okin was one of the toughest and smartest lawyers I came accross in the federal system during my years in practice. There are many other individuals who are honest and excellent lawyers, like Larry Levin in Jersey City and Sam De Luca. There are also some outstanding judges in New Jersey. However, the problems of corruption and mob influence have become pervasive and system-wide in New Jersey's legal system. These cancers may require outside assistance for removal.
"... Lamparello accused Mr. Inclan ... of pocketing an envelope containing $3,000 in cash from the bar owner, Luisa Medrano."
Reality check, people. What was the bribe for? To get cosmetic surgery for Mrs. Mayor and "cooperation" from town authorities in connection with certain requests from this Medrano person. It appears that: a) Mrs. Mayor got her cosmetic surgery (how much the surgery helped is unclear); and b) Medrano got the cooperation of the authorities in Guttenberg with her permits and certificates to proceed with her alleged nefarious activities. Medrano has entered a guilty plea to some reduced charges.
"Elementary, my dear Watson." My inference is that the money clearly got where it was supposed to get -- and it wouldn't be some up-and-coming Latino politician's pocket -- but into the account of the person calling the shots in New Jersey's favorite "midget municipality," Guttenberg.
There's a big apartment building in that town called "The Galaxy," with a great restaurant for brunch on the weekends: "The Green Kitchen." A couple of Arab guys, who had lived in Venezuela and spoke excellent Spanish, owned a Deli downstairs and we discussed politics sometimes. Boy, the stories I'd hear from those guys. Make your hair stand on end. Thanks for the free figs, guys. (Yes, I made sure to list "free figs" on my tax returns.) Telly Savalas was said to live in the Galaxy. Kojak, you remember him -- "Who loves ya, baby? ..."
Hudson County is a pimp's paradise, mob guys, drug dealers -- all bump into each other on their way to political offices so corrupt and inept that the chromium deposits and other deadly pollutants, a legacy of years of failures in the public agencies that should protect citizens, are killing people in droves. Ethics? You gotta be kidding me. (Hey, a new "error" appeared in this paragraph since yesterday!)
New Jersey's politics and legal system should make you even sicker than the poisons in the ground. Let's see all the attacks on my computer after I post this. Sunday, April 6, 2008 was marred by a number of computer attacks and defacements of essays. I will struggle to make corrections, while devoting more posts to New Jersey's politics and legal profession. Profiles of more judges, leading politicians, lawyers, business people and activities are coming up.

Corzine, came to Federal District Court here on Friday to testify against former friend and ally, Mayor David Delle Donna of Guttenberg, N.J., who is charged with extorting money from a bar owner accused of trafficking in illegal immigrant girls."
Guttenberg, New Jersey has the distinction (or it did) of having the largest number of taverns per square mile of any town in America. Being in Hudson County, Guttenberg also has plenty of crooked politicians -- politicians who are not capable of friendship or loyalty to anyone. In fairness, I must say the Municipal Court was the best in Hudson County. The town was a three dollar bill by reputation, everything was for sale -- especially, elected officials -- and most appointed town officials were said to be crooked. The Guttenberg Municipal Prosecutor sure wasn't crooked. (See "We don't know from nothing.")
"But Mr. Inclan, who over the last decade rose from an obscure seat on the school board" -- like Senator Bob in Union City? -- "in a small Hudson County town to gain the ear of the state's chief executive, found himself instead on the defensive about his own role in the bribery scheme while serving as a treasurer of Mr. Delle Donna's campaign."
Bribes are usually delivered by "buffers," middle-men the mob can disown when the shit hits the courthouse steps.
"... 'I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that I never pocketed any cash,' Mr. Inclan, who has not been charged with a crime, testified angrily when confronted by Mr. Delle Donna's defense lawyer Ralph Lamparello."
Mr. Lamparello is a good defense lawyer using the old "some other dude done it" or "put it on the delivery man" defenses. What else is he going to do?
One of the best trial lawyers I knew in New Jersey, against whom I tried a criminal case and lost, is Libero Marotta. I learned a great deal in that matter and have the utmost respect for Mr. Marotta and his office partner Mr. Schulman. I would say the same of a gentleman who must be retired by now, Harold Okin. Mr. Okin was one of the toughest and smartest lawyers I came accross in the federal system during my years in practice. There are many other individuals who are honest and excellent lawyers, like Larry Levin in Jersey City and Sam De Luca. There are also some outstanding judges in New Jersey. However, the problems of corruption and mob influence have become pervasive and system-wide in New Jersey's legal system. These cancers may require outside assistance for removal.
"... Lamparello accused Mr. Inclan ... of pocketing an envelope containing $3,000 in cash from the bar owner, Luisa Medrano."
Reality check, people. What was the bribe for? To get cosmetic surgery for Mrs. Mayor and "cooperation" from town authorities in connection with certain requests from this Medrano person. It appears that: a) Mrs. Mayor got her cosmetic surgery (how much the surgery helped is unclear); and b) Medrano got the cooperation of the authorities in Guttenberg with her permits and certificates to proceed with her alleged nefarious activities. Medrano has entered a guilty plea to some reduced charges.
"Elementary, my dear Watson." My inference is that the money clearly got where it was supposed to get -- and it wouldn't be some up-and-coming Latino politician's pocket -- but into the account of the person calling the shots in New Jersey's favorite "midget municipality," Guttenberg.
There's a big apartment building in that town called "The Galaxy," with a great restaurant for brunch on the weekends: "The Green Kitchen." A couple of Arab guys, who had lived in Venezuela and spoke excellent Spanish, owned a Deli downstairs and we discussed politics sometimes. Boy, the stories I'd hear from those guys. Make your hair stand on end. Thanks for the free figs, guys. (Yes, I made sure to list "free figs" on my tax returns.) Telly Savalas was said to live in the Galaxy. Kojak, you remember him -- "Who loves ya, baby? ..."
Hudson County is a pimp's paradise, mob guys, drug dealers -- all bump into each other on their way to political offices so corrupt and inept that the chromium deposits and other deadly pollutants, a legacy of years of failures in the public agencies that should protect citizens, are killing people in droves. Ethics? You gotta be kidding me. (Hey, a new "error" appeared in this paragraph since yesterday!)
New Jersey's politics and legal system should make you even sicker than the poisons in the ground. Let's see all the attacks on my computer after I post this. Sunday, April 6, 2008 was marred by a number of computer attacks and defacements of essays. I will struggle to make corrections, while devoting more posts to New Jersey's politics and legal profession. Profiles of more judges, leading politicians, lawyers, business people and activities are coming up.
