Hackers have inserted new "errors" in several essays, including (I am sorry to say) the Donald Davidson essay. I am saddened to discover these "errors" not found in my print versions of the essay. I am even sadder to realize that this is the response of N.J. officials to criticisms of obvious corruption and criminality. I will continue to make corrections as often as they are needed. Not tonight. I am tired, but more fired up than ever by this experience to persist in my struggle. More fun and games between the U.S. attorney and N.J.'s family-like organization in "politics" are expected. My security system cannot be updated, again. I am unable to "back up" Internet files.
New attacks this morning resulted in defacements of many texts. I will make corrections as best I can. December 10, 2007 at 1:40 P.M. I am blocking:

Today is International Human Rights Day. After spending more than six hours making corrections and attempting to cope with the effects of one night's hacking and defacements of my "copyright protected" written work, at the hands of police and legal officials from New Jersey who are sworn to uphold the Constitution and all laws of the United States of America, I feel especially qualified to call on N.J. Chief Justice Stuart Rabner and Attorney General Anne Milgram to prevent legal officials in their state from engaging in FURTHER criminal conduct before the eyes of the world.
Stop the censorship, harassment, and torture of dissidents -- like me. None of these crimes that N.J. officials commit will diminish your responsibilities for corruption and unethical conduct, also incompetent administration of laws. You will not succeed in silencing me.
I can never be sure of returning to the site when I sign off. I will try to restart my computer and restore my security system. If more than 2 days pass without a new post, it will not be voluntary. December 10, 2007 at 5:46 P.M.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's questionable comments concerning former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales ("I don't know why he was the Attorney General in the first place!") are offset by her fondness for Senator Robert "Bob" Menendez. Hackers have decided to amuse themselves by changing the Speaker's name in my posts to "Barbara" -- on the assumption that I am unaware of "Barbara Boxer," a California Senator -- and seem to find this tactic an adequate response to these serious allegations. They may be doing Pelosi a favor.
Despite multiple grand jury investigations targeting Mr. Menendez and the Cuban-American politician's alleged associations with shady (also alleged) "underworld" figures in Florida as well as in New Jersey, Menendez and Pelosi are thick as fleas. No wonder my group is targeted for harassment after I say these things. Geez ... I thought liberals favored "free speech." (Unfortunately, a new attack on my security system has created problems with my backing up of Internet files.)

"TRENTON, Feb. 28 -- Subpoenas were served on the offices of Gov. Jon S. Corzine and his chief counsel on Wednesday seeking documents about last-minute appropriations that have been added to state budgets since 2004."
Why would they subpoena materials from the governor reproducing information previously sought from the legislature? There are several possibilities: 1) the feds are looking for -- shall we say "discrepancies" -- between what is reportedly paid out and to whom it was paid in one set of documents as compared with another. My guess is that they'll find them. In fact, I suspect that they already know where to look. 2) They also wish to trace the "money trail" to see whether there are "connections" between politicians originating grants and persons who end up with grant money. I would not doubt that such "connections" will be found. Probably, the money was flowing in both directions. Isn't that nice for N.J. politicians?
Among politicians in New Jersey subject to scrutiny, allegedly, are Brian Stack and Rudy Garcia, both from Hudson County. This leads me to wonder: How much, if any, of the "filthy lucre" was getting back to "pappa"? How are ya, Senator Bob?
"Anthony Coley, a spokesman for the governor, said that Mr. Corzine's office would comply with the subpoena and that Mr. Corzine had directed [then] Attorney General Stuart Rabner and his own counsel's office to oversee that compliance."
"The subpoenas, issued by the office of Christopher J. Christie, the United States attorney for New Jersey, were among several that he has served on state politicians over the last month. Republican and Democratic lawmakers acknowledged last week that their legislative offices had been subpoenaed for documents in connection with the appropriations known as 'Christmas tree items.' [They're all Christmas tree items in New Jersey.] And earlier in February, a similar subpoena was delivered to the Office of Legislative Services, the Legislature's research, analysis and legal arm."
" ... The Treasury subpoena specifically mentioned contacts between the department and State Senator Wayne R. Bryant 'regarding matters involving the 'University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey or any of its schools or departments,' as well as pension benefits due to Mr. Bryant, according to one of the officials with knowledge of the investigation. ..." (emphasis added!)
This process may turn up information leading to further inquiries concerning state pension funds and their management. These items seem particularly timely in light of proposals to sell state assets generating BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to "financially shaky" pension funds. Why the desperation to get money into those accounts so people will not inquire too closely about how or where the funds have been "disappearing" -- "never-never-land"? Care for some "pixie dust"? You seem to sweating Richard J. Codey? Speaker Roberts?
"Mr. Bryant stepped down from that post after revelations that he held a $38,000-a-year job with the University of Medicine and Dentistry in which he did little or no work, according to federal monitors. Federal investigators, according to lawmakers, are trying to determine whether the job was given to Mr. Bryant in exchange for helping the school secure funds through the Christmas tree items."
By cutting off the flow of money to the family-like "organization" that is so "influential" in New Jersey politics, federal prosecutors have slowly weakened the "Jersey Boys" and (it appears) they are now getting ready for a final D-Day like offensive in a push for a new wave of indictments. The best is yet to come. The answer from New Jersey's organized crime brigade is to insert "errors" in my writings in order to demonstrate that they are "liberals," whose opposition to Bush's terrorism policies is based on concern for civil liberties -- except for the civil liberties of people who disagree with them.

Further probes into criminality among judges in New Jersey is likely to yield new arrests of crooked Municipal Court (and probably Superior Court) judges. If stupidity were a crime, many members of the judiciary in New Jersey would be looking at life. (See my forthcoming "Jay Romano and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.") It has been suggested that a list of amounts needed to bribe judges for various offenses charged should be posted outside every city hall and Municipal Court building. Union City and North Bergen are among the worst locations for this sort of corruption and have always been known for gross incompetence. (An "error" was inserted since my previous review of this essay. Let's see what hackers try next.)
What else is new? Here is something new!
"Federal officials anounced the arrests yesterday of 10 people they said were members of an international smuggling gang that illegally shipped millions of dollars' worth of counterfit apparel into the New York region from factories in China, often in falsely labeled shipping containers."
"The smuggling scheme, involving fake merchandise with a retail value of more than $200 MILLION, was one of the largest smuggling operations ever discovered, the United States attorney's office in Manhattan said."
All of this corruption was made possible by bribery of New Jersey officials affiliated with the "Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal in New Jersey." How much got back to Trenton politicians is not known at this time. Richard J. Codey? Speaker Roberts? Senator Bob? Senator Lesniak? Who's been dipping, boys? Let's see what's in your pockets.
How about if you want to sneak in a nuclear device or chemical weapons, diluted medications that, allegedly, find their way into local hospitals? How about sneaking into New Jersey underage sex slaves? No problem. You got cash? ("We don't know from nothing.") At a time when the U.S. is involved in a "War Against Terrorism," does this sound like our security precautions are adequate? Do you believe that a Democrat running for the presidency can let this slide because Democrats "control" New Jersey? I don't.
Senator Bob's former campaign finance chairman "Joseph Simunovich, was the subject of a state investigation into whether he violated ethics laws as head of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority." http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2006/7/27/15457.shtml
I wonder whether any of these counterfit goods were to be moved through New Jersey's gleaming highways? Connections?
"Don't even worry about the tolls. Just tell 'em the boss said it's O.K.!" Right, Senator Bob?
"Kyle A. Hutchins, special agent in charge of the Newark office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said counterfitting and piracy operations cost American businesses [including Hollywood] $200 BILLION TO $250 BILLION A YEAR."
How many jobs and how much in tax revenue is generated by $250 BILLION? How much is lost to the U.S. economy from one year's worth of corruption in one New Jersey port of entry?
Where are ya, Anne Milgram? New Jersey police officers had a rough day yesterday. Quite a few New Jersey cops visit my sites. No doubt they are interested in philosophy. I suspect that there are more visitors "here" than people realize, including international guests. ("Havana Nights and C.I.A. Tapes.")
"Federal agents yesterday concluded a three-year drug investigation with six arrests, including that of a Newark police officer, the Drug Enforcement Administration said. D.E.A. officials said the group laundered about $57 MILLION from the sale of HEROIN. The officer Michelle Davis, 33, was charged with money laundering, federal officials said."
There's more coming, boys and girls ... How about an investigation of New Jersey's visibly corrupt legal ethics establishment?
