Several errors have been inserted in this essay. I can only hope that I have now corrected all of them. I expect that they will be reinserted. You may wish to copy this essay immediately after it is posted. It is very difficult to access or post essays at Critique. However, I will continue to struggle against all forms of censorship. Pictured at this link is New Jersey's former Attorney General, the subtle and elusive -- highly elusive -- Stuart Rabner, Esq. http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/images/rabner.jpg
Anemona Hartocollis, "A Tough Defense Lawyer Finds He's in Need of One," The New York Times, January 11, 2007 at p. B3.
"Back in the 1980s, Paul W. Bergrin was a hard-hitting prosecutor in Essex County, N.J., who then became an assistant United States attorney in Newark."
"Later, as a defense lawyer, he was known for taking on unpopular causes, including defending a sergeant convicted of abusing prisoners in Abu Ghraib and an American soldier accused in the murders of three Iraqui men."
"But yesterday he found himself on the opposite end of the law, as prosecutors charged him with running a call girl service in Manhattan after its owner, who was his client, had been arrested."
"Mr. Bergrin was accused of running $800,000 in credit card receipts through two shell companies over six months in 2004 and 2005 to disguise the fact that the money was the proceeds of a TriBeCa-based call girl service called NY Confidential, prosecutors in Manhattan said."
"... Prosecutors also charged that Mr. Bergrin was receiving as much as $5,000 a week in cash payments from the proceeds of the escort service."
Women in the sexual services industry should be protected from such "pillars of the community" exploiting them, while refusing to associate with them or acknowledge them as human beings. I suspect that many women employed by "NY Confidential" are morally superior to those who profit from their professional efforts.
Protected exploiters of sex workers tend to enjoy beating up or stealing from women, who are forced to engage in sexual acts. I do not know whether Mr. Bergrin falls into that category, which is usually reserved for the lowest scum and members of New Jersey's feces-stained judiciary -- about whom I will be writing a lot more in the future. No wonder they're hacking into my computer and destroying my writings at my msn account and group. Judges Schaeffer, Tolentino, Baber and a few more New Jersey low-lifes are due for examination. Remember, I am not a "gentleman," according to a New Jersey judge. There is no need for me to be polite at this point.
"John Edwards Tiffany, Mr. Bergrin's lawyer and friend of 15 years, said yesterday that he was shocked at the charges, and could not help wondering whether Mr. Bergrin had invited some kind of retaliation by stepping on too many toes as an aggressive defense lawyer."
I know what he means. New Jersey's powers-that-be resent defense counsel who go out of their way to defend people. They want "docile" attorneys and vicious prosecutors, preferably to go after minority group members. (See "America's Holocaust.")
Evidently, running an illegal prostitution ring which, allegedly, provided a lucrative source of information on prominent or powerful customers -- information potentially useful in influencing or even blackmailing those prominent "customers" -- is only a source of concern to prosecutors in several states because Mr. Bergrin "stepped on toes." Somehow, I don't think that's it. Although it certainly may be one factor explaining why Bergrin was busted all of a sudden. Unless Bergrin was late with any alleged payoffs, of course, or failed to supply either Debbie Poritz (who is said to "like the ladies") or good old Stu with a little "shake-and-bake" on Saturday night.
How tight are Debbie and Diana? Are they really known as the "Double D's"? How are the "Thelma and Luisa" of New Jersey's legal circles? (Only one "error" inserted since earlier today?)
Prosecutors are especially offended when one of their own engages in this sort of despicable crime, allegedly, because it tarnishes the reputation of the prosecutorial enterprise -- something which may be impossible at this point in New Jersey, a state whose legal institutions cannot be further tarnished. No doubt New Jersey judges received an occasional "freebie" -- if these charges are true -- and were highly amenable to persuasion when Mr. Bergrin strolled into court.
What else is new? Ethics? in New Jersey? People laugh when they associate such words. Mr. Bergrin's lawyer took aim at the federal prosecutors (I hope they are federal!) bringing these charges against his client:
"There are prosecutors out there that may have very distinct opinions about Mr. Bergrin." Bergrin's lawyer said: "They should worry less about getting their names in the paper, and focus on their job, which is to prosecute crimes, not to attempt to tarnish or belittle the reputation of an attorney."
Well, if an attorney gets into a massive criminal conspiracy on the side, allegedly, walking out of a brothel with $5,000 in cash every week (IRS? OAE?), together with a "freebie" for himself and his political pals, also allegedly -- even prosecutors who respect his skills as an advocate and like him "personally" -- may be inclined to seek an indictment. I don't blame them. $5,000 a week in illegal cash is reserved for members of the judiciary in New Jersey, not for trial lawyers. Geez. Whatta-ya, nuts? Ya gotta share with Papa. Let them wet their beaks a little. Know what I mean? Several judges in the Garden State are far more despicable and criminal in my opinion than Bergrin. Many deserve to be treated the way they treat others, which is all that I am doing. Nothing I have said about New Jersey compares with how I have been treated by some "judges," as crimes were and are committed against me by their agents. Hackers, viruses, obstructions to writing are my daily reality. All coming from New Jersey computers, including government computers. (See "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")
I am not sure who was the target of this smear? Christopher Christie in New Jersey or New York's own Michael Garcia, who will be extradicting Mr. Bergrin to New York for trial. Or so the U.S. Attorney hopes. This looks like a typical New Jersey story.
I wonder why the U.S. Attorney's Office is wary of legal proceedings in New Jersey forums. Do they fear that New Jersey courts are crooked? Is the Pope Catholic? Hey, where is Trenton's "highly efficient" OAE in all of this? "We don't know from nothing," say New Jersey's "untouchable" OAE attorneys and members of the judiciary. And where is Stuart Rabner? Jaynee? Partying? The brain dead morons at the OAE get lost in a revolving door.
Get this, Stuart is in a little pow-wow with Annie ("She Got Her Gun") Milgram! http://blog.nj.com/ledgerupdates/medium_ag.jpg Naturally, this "friendliness" will not affect Stuart's decisions when Annie shows up to "argue" before the New Jersey Supreme Court, right? (A second "error" inserted since this morning. Now we're getting warm.) Prominent members of the New Jersey Bar and a few judges have been heard to whisper: "Now where do we go for some action on Friday night?" Hey, the other shoe dropped!

"NEW YORK -- The money laundering and prostitution case against a high profile New Jersey defense attorney took another strange turn yesterday as authorities alleged [Bergrin] arranged sexual favors for friends and New Jersey law enforcement officials."
Prosecutors and judges -- perhaps even New Jersey Supreme Court justices -- indulged in a little illicit sexual delight in exchange for a lack of attention to this, allegedly, corrupt lawyer's activities. No wonder several New Jersey justices are allegedly "connected" to the Camden machine. No OAE official apprehended Mr. Bergrin -- some such officials were probably accepting his "hospitality" or, possibly, payoffs -- only the feds and New York officials were interested in this person's activities. Am I putting a dent in the profits, boys? Cramping your corrupt style? What a shame.
I wonder why Bergrin was not subjected to hypnosis, illegally, by Terry Tuchin and/or Diana Lisa Riccioli. Maybe Bergrin is not African-American or Latino. That would explain why his Constitutional rights were not violated in such a hateful way. Right, Stuart? How about it, John? "For his own good, maybe?" "I'll go to bat for you," right Terry? "You got me on your side." "Most people want to be told what to believe." Is that right, fellas?
"The Manhattan District Attorney's Office also said Newark attorney Paul Bergrin was a 'prime suspect' in the killing of a witness in a federal drug case and claimed he was grooming his son to take over the high priced call-girl operation at the heart of the investigation."
First, send the kid to law school. (A third "error" inserted since this morning.) Then have him take over the "family business." That'll show he's ethical. What does your rule book say, John?
"... Bergrin found himself in need of his own attorney after he was indicted with two others on charges of money laundering" -- political contributions are always excellent money laundering techniques! -- "solicitation of prostitution and misconduct in connection with the escort service known as NY Confidential."
The New York District Attorney said: "... after Bergrin took over New York Confidential in January 2005, he tapped the escorts for free sex and brought friends to the brothel, 'including New Jersey law enforcement.' ..."
It is rumored that several New Jersey judges are under investigation as a result of their "affiliation" with Mr. Bergrin, which would not surprise me. Lots of cops, too. "Don't trust Jaynee LaVecchia" is one good suggestion. Some of the things I have heard New Jersey judges say would make your hair stand on end. I will devote extra time to researching and detailing illegal and unethical conduct, together with outrageous comments made by New Jersey judges, during the forthcoming year. Each one of them should be removed from the bench. I am in awe of the "ethics" of these people who presume to "judge" and claim to be better than you and me. No more "errors" inserted in my essay to prove how ethical you are?
Brian T. Murray, "In Lawyer's Prostitution Case, Talk of Favors, a Killing," The Star Ledger, January 17, 2007 and http://www.nj.com/
"... sex was sold for $1,000 an hour or more."
Most women in the sexual services industry do not keep $1,000 per hour. They are usually exploited in vicious ways by people with police protection and judicial friends -- especially in a cesspool of corruption, such as New Jersey -- so that these exploiters are licensed to abuse young men and women. Often the abuse involves hypnosis techniques commonly manipulated to frame people on false charges. See Alan Feuer, "Hearing Ordered Over Whether Hypnosis Tainted L.I. Abuse Case," in The New York Times, July 24, 2007, at p. B2. (This case is only the proverbial tip of the iceberg. There is a lot more on the way.)
The foregoing sentence was just corrected after an "error" mysteriously appeared in the text. (As of my last scan, before 8:00 A.M., there were 18 intrusion attempts against my computer. Main attacker 24.192.244.190 -- New Jersey Supreme Court? Anybody heard of the First Amendment?)
"The dates were booked for $1,000 an hour. [The brothel] brought in about $1.2 million in the first six months," according to "Detective Myles Mahadi of the Manhattan South Vice Enforcement Unit."
Most of those women are decent struggling people, trying to care for children, with few options in life. My concern is about protecting young women and men in this industry, getting minors safely out of danger, allowing for those adults who wish to indulge in commercial sexual services to do so in a safe, legal environment (that gets rid of criminals and eliminates exploitation), while allowing for alternative career counselling, child care for those women who need it, health care, and yet permits "sex providers" to keep the proceeds of their efforts and pay taxes.
This commercializing of sex is not an activity that will ever be eliminated from human societies, so the issue is: How can we protect women, mostly, and help them to be safe and prosper in their lives? How do we get rid of exploiters and see that they, such exploitative men or abusive women, go to prison?
Most people who are honest about this industry are not trying to violate or injure women, but they want to make money. If money-making is possible in a safe, legal environment -- generating taxes -- then people will PREFER that situation. Women in the sexual services industry can become legal enterpreneurs. Most women in the industry (I believe) prefer to avoid hassels and problems, and would like nothing better than to live safe lives, where they can save for retirement and have health coverage as well as physical security.
"Federal prosecutors say they are still troubled about [Bergrin's] conduct in a 2004 narcotics case. In court motions, prosecutors charged that Bergrin twice called ________, an alleged drug kingpin, and told him a key witness against his client was a man known on the streets as 'Ki-mo.'"
"Three months later, Ki-mo was murdered execution-style. Bergrin denied any wrongdoing, but withdrew from the case."
Mr. Bergrin was not deemed an "unethical attorney" by New Jersey's OAE, many of whose officials like to "party" on Friday nights. A fitting metaphor for New Jersey's legal system is found in Newark. "The owner of a meat rendering plant in the Ironbound section of Newark was indicted yesterday on charges of polluting the air and water, state officials said. The owner, Seymour Berkowitz, 72, of allendale, faces up to to five years in state prison and fines."
Are there other "secret" owners of this establishment? Some prominent members of the New Jersey bar perhaps? Judges? Politicians? Stay tuned, there's more coming. How about it, Jaynee? Who cares about the residents of Newark? You don't, right Jaynee? Next they'll try to fix the NJ lottery. Any winners sold in Newark lately?
"... more than a million pounds of meat waste a week ... was stored outside the ground in all weather, state officials said." The stink from this illegal pollution is nothing compared with the stench of New Jersey's legal corruption and ethical rot attached to the persons depicted in the latest portraits of New Jersey's Supreme Court justices. (See "Is New Jersey Chief Justice Deborah T. Poritz unethical or only incompetent?" and "New Jersey's Feces-Covered Supreme Court," then Tina Kelley, "Meat Plant Owner Charged With Pollution," in The New York Times, July 24, 2007, at p. B5.)

"In a recent Wall Street Journal editorial, former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor questioned why there is such an 'intensity of rage currently being leveled at the judiciary.' Last week, the New Jersey Supreme Court gave her the answer."
Tom Fitton, "New Jersey Supreme Court Mandates Rights," http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/19803.html
Hostility to the Garden State's court is not primarily the result of disagreement over controversial decisions, but legitimate repugnance at the hypocrisy of a court that covers-up torture, rape, incompetence, and unethical or criminal conduct, like theft, by its own agents and in its own name, while indulging in a "holier-than-thou" sanctimonious reprimanding of minor offenders, as public money is wasted on expensive portraits, dinners, and other "treats" and luxuries for the so-called "justices." The true whores in this story -- whores of all genders -- are the members of New Jersey's corrupt Supreme Court.
"What was astonishing was the spread of the CORRUPTION to the New Jersey Supreme Court, which unanimously approved this action [the Democrats' naming of a successor for Robert Torricelli, D-NJ] in defiance of the plain words of the written law. ..."

Many of us are not "cooperating" with a feces-covered New Jersey judiciary. Have you no decency, Stuart Rabner? Testicular fortitude? Do you need permission from a mob boss to take action? Is that why it is O.K. for New Jersey hackers to tamper with my writings?
