Will the U.S. Return to American Justice?

November 19, 2009 at 10:30 A.M. It is wonderful to receive calls from "elite colleges" in the morning. At 10:19 A.M. call from 781-416-0970. (Wellesley College?) Harvard and Yale should be next.

November 17, 2009 at 9:20 A.M. Several essays have been vandalized overnight. I will struggle to make necessary corrections. An advertisement was imposed on this site, perhaps by "Howard Masia, Esq."?:

"New Jersey Name Change. NJ lawyer with 20 years experience. Free Consultation, reasonable fee. http://www.randolphwolf.com/ ."

The message sent by the Jersey Boys is that they don't care about Obama, Clinton, the FBI or the U.S. Supreme Court. It's all "business as usual" for the Mafia in North Bergen, New Jersey. ("North Bergen, New Jersey is the Home of 'La Cosa Nostra'" and "Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?")

November 16, 2009 at 9:45 A.M. This comment was posted moments ago. Spacing has already been affected. New Jersey's politically-protected cybercriminals ("El Bobo" Menendez) may be proving my point. Let us hope that they will continue to do so. ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

As I write this comment, President Obama is visiting China. Mr. Obama has spoken of our nation's commitment to "freedom of speech" and urged his hosts to be tolerant of political dissidents. I wonder whether Mr. Obama -- after his recent visits to New Jersey in support of the Governor of a state controlled, until now, by a corrupt political machine that is intolerant of dissent and unwilling to recognize human rights -- would extend his request to the Garden State? ("New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court.")

Should AMERICANS speak freely, Mr. Obama? Are we permitted to criticize jurisdictions controlled by Democrats with alleged mafia affiliations where hundreds of millions of tax-payer dollars are stolen or wasted? where dissidents are raped? where "detainees" are threatened by ferocious dogs in jails before being convicted of any offenses? where the writings of persons subjected to drugging and hypnosis are censored and suppressed, publicly? where theft by politically-connected thieves of the cash and goods of secretly selected victims is deemed a kind of "therapy"? I hope that free expression is still permitted in America. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey," then "What is it like to be tortured?")

Strangely, the number of visitors to these blogs has not changed. "I have reason to believe" that thousands of hits at these blogs -- many from outside the U.S. -- have been received over the past several weeks. It may be the case that several of these works are being translated into other languages, including Arabic. Curiously, I still show 7,000 hits. (True number is probably between 50-100,000.) In fact, my own hits at this site from public computers are not registered. No images can be posted at these blogs. Cybercrime and harassment against my work is continuous, every day, but is greeted with media silence from America's so-called "independent" press. ("How Censorship Works in America" and "Censorship and Cruelty in New Jersey.")

I wonder whether Chinese officials have raised such issues with the American Chief Executive? If China has not raised such issues in response to American criticisms of Beijing's human rights record, perhaps Chinese officials should do so -- as should the Cuban Revolutionary government. ("Fidel Castro's 'History Will Absolve Me.'")

I am afraid that we can expect more sabotage in response to this statement from the Jersey Boys "parked" in Union City, at the Cafeteria in Bergenline Avenue. ("The Heidegger Controversy" and "Is Senator Menendez a Suspect in Mafia-Political Murder in New Jersey?")

I believe the official response from the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office concerning Senator Bob and the inquiry into the possible homicide of Mr. Shaw in Jersey City is that Mr. Menendez is "not a suspect at this time, but that the matter is still pending."

There has been a great deal of criticism of President Obama's and Mr. Holder's decision to hold trials in U.S. territory for detainees charged with terrorism. This is the correct decision and a brave one from an administration with at least one certified hero for the history books: Gregory B. Craig, departing White House counsel, is a lawyer's lawyer.

Mr. Craig has fought intense political opposition -- including a great deal of resistance from the President's party -- to hold actual trials before executing people or sentencing detainees to life imprisonment. This is a radical suggestion in a nation with a Constitution that ensures "due process of law" to every person prior to a deprivation of "life, liberty, or property." Who knew?

Mr. Craig has been in the forefront of efforts to halt the tortures and abuses at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib -- and, eventually, to close those infamous facilities -- efforts opposed by Senator Joe Lieberman, sadly enough. These efforts have exposed the departing White House counsel to political knife-in-the-back attacks from the likes of Bob Menendez or greasy counterparts of the Senator from the swamps of the Meadowlands, where many a N.J. body is buried and can be heard to howl in the night. Jimmy Hoffa?

The incoming White House counsel is Robert F. Bauer, reputedly a political animal with minimal trial or other genuine legal experience. Mr. Bauer will cut deals by refusing to be constrained by considerations of Constitutional and fundamental human rights law. The Jersey mafia hopes to "reach" this guy, as they say in Secaucus. This is "dismaying," as faculty whisper with a shake of the head, at Yale Law School. ("A Commencement Address by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham-Clinton.")

"Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. [,] took a bold and principled step on Friday toward repairing the damage wrought by former President George W. Bush with his decision to discard the nation's well-established systems of civilian and military justice in the treatment of detainees captured in antiterrorist operations."

"From that entirely unnecessary policy (the United States had the tools to detain, charge and bring terrorists to justice) flowed a terrible legacy of torture and open-ended incarceration. It left President Obama with yet another mess to clean up on an urgent basis."

"On Friday, Attorney General Holder announced that Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-described mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, and four others accused in the plot will be tried in a fashion that will not further erode American justice or shame Americans. [Have you been to New Jersey?] It promises to finally provide justice for the victims of 9/11."

The need for justice by victims and the secret state policy of open-ended detention or "monitoring" are realities to which I can attest. ("The Heidegger Controversy.")

"Mr. Holder said those prisoners would be prosecuted in federal court in Manhattan. It was an enormous victory for the rule of law, a major milestone in Mr. Obama's efforts to close the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and an important departure from Mr. Bush's disregard for American courts and their proven ability to competently handle [sic.] high-profile terror cases. If he [who?] and Vice President Dick Cheney had shown more faith in the laws and the Constitution, the alleged mass murderers would have faced justice much earlier."

A split-infinitive at The New York Times? An indefinite subject? The horror of it all is too much, I say. Will Republicans and Cubanazos insert "errors" in this editorial? There is no need to do so. The Times editorialist has done the hard work for them. Spacing has been affected, as expected, in this essay. If I am lucky, my adversaries will continue to illustrate my point concerning New Jersey corruption and their own criminality. This is to say nothing of the unprecedented levels of stupidity achieved by the Cubanoids from Miami and Union City's Boulevard East. The whole world is watching.

Who wishes to insert a little "error" in this essay? Anne Milgram? Senator Bob ("I am for all the people!") Menendez?

" ... the Obama administration has yet to figure out how to rectify the disgraceful Bush detention policies, but is getting there."

Yeah, we're getting there all right. ("Nihilists in Disneyworld.")
