March 5, 2008 at 10:29 A.M. Calls received from 402-727-2510. After about twenty minutes of trying to post this essay at Critique, my screen went blank. I was unable to return to that site. I will run scans all day, again, as I did yesterday. I will struggle to write and post these words at my MSN group.

Unfortunately, my image-posting feature -- with these essays and at my blogspot profile has been disabled -- so I cannot supply an image of John and Abigail Adams at Mind Games. I cannot see my books on-line. I do not know how many downloads of those books have taken place, or whether "errors" have been inserted in the text, or what has happened to those works. One of my books is not being distributed to book sellers. I am prevented from working on a memoir at my home computer by hackers destroying my sentences overnight, after I write them during the day. (See "What is it like to be tortured?" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")
In one of Kafka's great parables, he describes a man tried in total silence. Nothing is said against him. No one identifies him- or herself as the enemy or an adversary. Nothing is personal. The important actions and accusations against him take place in his absence. He must guess about who is making them. Why they are being made. And what these accusations may be. This makes it clear that they have nothing to do with him. The bland indifference to horror on the part of observers is the most bizarre and disconcerting aspect of the nightmare I live with on a daily basis. Like God for Friedrich Nietzsche, "Law is dead" in New Jersey -- "and you and I have killed it." Apathy and appeasement in the face of evil are equally disastrous. The only answer is struggle.
January 25, 2008 Mr. Leroy Robinson was arrested in a money laundering case involving the usual suspects in New Jersey, a cast of players prominent in political and legal circles, who are suspiciously close to most major political scandals in the Trenton area, including the EnCap toxic scandal, a political cesspool whose full dimensions are not yet suspected.
"Robinson, 51, of Maplewood, a former Garden State Parkway maintenance supervisor and ex-commissioner at the Essex County Utilities Authority, has been free on $150,000 bond since his arrest ... by the F.B.I."
Anne Milgram and N.J.'s A.G. Office missed this operation. Perhaps they were busy sending me letters.
"A federal complaint charged that Robinson laundered $120,000 in cash in 2004 and 2005 that he believed were collections from an illegal loan-sharking operation."
A number of politicians in the Garden State do loan-sharking on the side, anonymously, by using local hoodlums or cops as collectors and muscle, allegedly. I represented young men who claimed to do this sort of work for such anonymous "gentlemen." No doubt some of these secret "lenders" are judges. Sometimes these young men would explain that they were going out to Vegas to "collect some money" for one of these behind-the-scenes "lenders." That's "extortion," isn't it? Senator Coniglio is charged with a different kind of extortion. Other N.J. politicians and judges are said to be under investigation for extortion right now, soon more of them will be investigated and indicted.
"In a story published Dec. 23, The Record revealed that Robinson shared a mutually beneficial, 10 year relationship with Eric Wisler, a senior partner at the powerful DeCotiis law firm, who had been the lead attorney for the EnCap project until Robinson's arrest."
"As a commissioner of the Essex County Utilities Authority, Robinson approved millions of dollars in no-bid legal work [that] the authority gave to Wisler as general counsel. Robinson also employed Wisler's wife at his Newark insurance company."
No conflicts of interest or loyalties for either Wisler or Robinson? Everything's hunky dory with the DRB?
"Robinson acknowledges that it was Wisler who led him to the $14 MILLION contract to supply fill for the EnCap project."
Earlier Robinson admitted that, after receiving the funds to be laundered, "cash in amounts ranging from $15,000 to $30,000, he allegedly wrote checks to a demolition company disguised as payments for 'consulting services,' minus a 10 percent commission for his laundering services, authorities said."
Hundreds of millions of dollars coming from taxpayers for a project that never happened and was probably never intended to happen, which enriched many politicians and lawyers, in a state with disappearing pension funds, 32 BILLION in debt, 100-400 MILLION missing from UMDNJ, and the largest number of indicted felons of any state in the country -- felons involved in corruption and blatant criminality, both in the legal profession and government circles, which is focusing like a laser beam on what I write, after deleting letters from my texts. If you live in New Jersey, you can sleep easily tonight knowing that your Attorney General, Anne Milgram, is on the job. Sure you can.
The same cast and "crew" play musical chairs with judgeships, appointed positions, legal counsel jobs and other government goodies. Disregarding conflict of interest laws, many of these persons are "secret partners" whacking up the filthy lucre extracted, like molars, from taxpayers who are not given novocaine. Every once in a while, one of these "guys" will suggest to taxpayers that they "turn their heads and cough." Sound familiar, Alex? Howard? Senator Bob? Richard J. Codey? Speaker Roberts? George E. Norcross, III?
No ethics charges are pending against these attorneys, whether in government (incompetence, ineffective assistance of counsel, Anne Milgram?) or in the private sector (Mr. Wisler and DeCotiis no doubt serve on their county's ethics committee). In a letter to her husband, Abigail Adams wrote in November, 1775:
"I am more convinced that man is a dangerous creature and that power, whether vested in many or a few, is ever grasping, and like the grave, cries, 'Give, give.' ..."
