More Incompetence and Unethical Conduct in New Jersey!

Gee, I wonder why I am having so many problems seeing my second book distributed to book sellers and why the numbers do not seem to match up with the actual visitors to that site? Probably just a coincidence.

In the paper there are two items placed on the same page and next to one another that are very revealing of the situation on the ground in New Jersey law enforcement. The stories were found in close proximity so that readers might assume that the federal successes belong to New Jersey's attorney general, Ms. Milgram. (This last sentence was just corrected after hacking last night.) First, a story detailing yet another success for the United States attorney (the feds), Christopher J. Christie:

"Federal agents arrested 626 people yesterday as part of a sweep seeking sexual offenders, violent criminals and gang members."

These are the kind of arrests normally made by state law enforcement everywhere else. Zulima Farber, as New Jersey attorney general, made numerous such arrests. No wonder they had to get rid of her. However, Ms. Milgram -- who has very little or no criminal experience in the state system or anywhere else -- has made no such sweeping arrests. No wonder they appointed her. A judgeship is next for Ms. Milgram. Maybe a spot on the Supreme Court, if she proves her loyalty to the powers that be in Trenton -- which she will -- as Stuart Rabner did. How come Ms. Milgram missed all of these crimes and criminal organizations? We do not know. She does not know.

"The operation arrested 35 people wanted on sex offenses, 244 on drug charges and 36 on weapons violations, officials said. ... 118 suspected gang members were also arrested. Christopher J. Christie, the United States attorney, said the investigation had lasted about a month."

Ms. Milgram's office is probably looking into the possible use of the "b-word" by high school seniors throughout the state. Offenses against political correctness are taken very seriously in the Garden State. Doesn't New Jersey have laws against cyberstalking and Internet crime? Oh, they don't care about real crimes -- especially when such crimes are committed by persons affiliated with the Trenton government. Second, here's what law enforcement is up to in New Jersey -- hang on to your hat:

"The operators of the social networking Internet site 'Facebook' have agreed to cooperate with a request from New Jersey officials to help identify convicted sex offenders who MIGHT be participating in online chats. ... Last week [New Jersey's attorney general, Anne Milgram] sent a letter to Facebook and 11 other meeting sites asking for THEIR help finding sex offenders online."

Ms. Milgram wants to go on a fishing expedition for persons who MIGHT be sex offenders, violating everybody else's civil rights at Facebook (whatever that is), so that maybe, just possibly, somebody from one of these sites can help her to find someone online who MAY be a sex offfender. Any sex offenders who read the newspapers will now take off and never again be "seen" at Facebook. "Whatever," right Anne? Anybody, including Ms. Milgram, MIGHT BE a sex offender. There are other crimes out there, Anne -- like political corruption. Duh ... Here is what should concern the boys and girls in New Jersey government:

"More than one-quarter of New Jersey's 2,430 public schools were cited yesterday for failing to meet federal education standards after too few of their students passed state reading and math tests this spring, state education officials said yesterday." [sic.]

Maybe the 51 MILLION dollars that disappeared last year from programs for children with special needs, never reaching those needy children, has something to do with this little problem. You looking into that issue, Anne? Even among those who pass such a test, achievement is low and morale among teachers is dismal. No amount bullshit "spin" placed on these facts diminishes in any way the shameful disgrace of this disclosure, which is surpassed only by the grotesque levels of corruption and incompetence among New Jersey judges and legal officials of all sorts -- including Anne Milgram. You can imagine the number of innocent persons convicted and guilty persons set free (or made judges!) in New Jersey:

"A total of 618 schools failed to meet annual testing benchmarks established under No Child Left behind, which was a slight improvement over the 643 schools [left behind] the year before."

Winnie Hu & Ford Fedessen, "New Jersey Schools Show Small Gains in Standards," in The New York Times, August 17, 2007, at p. B5 and Winnie Hu, "New Jersey Education Dept. Has Problems, Audit Finds," in The New York Times, August 18, 2007 at p. B2.

Yes, I'd say New Jersey education has a few problems. But then, the entire state of New Jersey has "problems."

The solution is not to have more p.r. nonsense spouted by Washington or Trenton bureaucrats. It is not to try to silence critics, like me, with illegal censorship tactics. This is a generation of Americans ill-equipped to compete with rivals in the industrialized economies, something which is already evident to many corporate employers. Things will get worse before they get better. True, New Jersey's legal system is the very bottom of the barrel. Other states are also much better at educating their children. However, the problems are pretty universal.

One step towards a solution is to pay teachers salaries appropriate to their professional status. Pay teachers what judges make. Get rid of paperwork as much as possible, allow teachers to make professional evaluations and set up educational methods and goals, collaboratively and without interference from politicians. Concentrate the money and effort where it is needed, with minority children, make the university education of African-American children a national moral obligation. It is the least -- and I mean the least -- we can do at this point in history for those children.

The solution, as I continue to insist, is not to commit further crimes against me, not to hack into my computer to delete letters from my essays. It is time to deal honestly with these issues and try to cope with burning problems with something other than insults, threats in the media against rival politicians, destruction of professional lives of critics, or any of the other tactics used by the mob in New Jersey government. Let's all stay off the Garden State Parkway and wear our seatbelts, after criticizing New Jersey's powerful machine politicians or we will live to regret it. Right, Anne?

Lots of luck, Anne. No wonder they made her attorney general. New Jersey's precious resources are spent in worrying about and violating the protected political expressions of dissenters. In a state where so-called "forensic psychiatrists" (like Diana Lisa Riccioli and Terry Tuchin) torture victims and sell their services to the highest bidders -- including "offenders" of all kinds, especially if they work for the government -- this is not only laughable and absurd, but sad and dangerous. Where are those reports, Terry?

What have you become, Stuart Rabner?

More bad news for New Jersey!

"A man was sentenced yesterday in Federal District Court to two and a half years in federal prison for making false bomb threats concerning the Hoboken PATH station, prosecutors said."

Once again New Jersey was "a day late and a dollar short," as the saying goes, missing the operations of this defendant. If his threat had been genuine, thousands would have died. New Jersey's attorney general is concentrating on J-walkers in Trenton, especially if they are males. Thank God, the feds are on this.

The citizens of the Garden State would be at the mercy of those 600 or so criminals arrested only by the efforts of federal law enforcement officials, who are the only people interested in punishing theft among New Jersey politicians. ("Errors" have already been inserted in this last sentence and corrected by me.) New Jersey's Anne Milgram heads an office with nearly twice the staff of the federal prosecutors, but only a tiny fraction of the fed's competence and no achievements at all to speak of -- except for censorship efforts aimed at critics, perhaps -- and more politically correct bullshit for the newspapers. (I expect letters to be deleted from these essays on a daily basis.)

I bet you're really "chummy" with Diana, right Anne? You two "pal around" a lot?

The New York Times, August 22, 2007 at p. B6.

"Former Mayor Sharpe James says he does not have enough cash to hire one of the high-profile lawyers who represented him at his arraignment last month, according to court papers filed yesterday."

The New York Times, August 22, 2007, at p. B6.

If Mr. James does not have enough money for his defense, how do you think the average person can defend him- or herself in a criminal case against the resources of the state? Not very well. Public defenders are understaffed, underpaid, grossly deprived of resources to do what they are expected to do -- and people's lives are on the line. No wonder New Jersey's legal and political system is a travesty and den of thieves. Politicians can get away with crimes because nobody has the time to notice what they're doing. They may be in for a surprise. The only person who won't notice what's going on is Anne Milgram.

Time for a competent attorney general and some honest judges for a change at the New Jersey Supreme Court. For now, like Stuart Rabner, we can only "demur."
