October 3, 2008 at 10:07 A.M. I am unable, after several hours and scans of my computer, to write today at Critique. I planned to review a new movie. I will draft that review in pencil, then find a computer where I can post it. Hackers prevent me from accessing my MSN group, once again. Intrusion attempts and viruses on my computer are uncontrollable. I have decided to write from more computers and to persist in my efforts.
I was reminded of Lillian Hellman's observations when she found herself in a similar situation, during the McCarthy era, dealing with nearly identically stupid and brutal fascists:
Truth made you a traitor as it often does in a time of scoundrels. But there were very few -- How can you, Mr. Rabner, be a part of this? -- who stood up to say so and there were almost none even now to remind us that one of the reasons we know so little and guess so badly about China is that we lost the only men who knew what they were talking about. Certainly the good magazines, the ones who published the best writers, should have come to the aid of those who were persecuted. ...

I am not a slave. I am not a laboratory animal. Censorship and violations of citizens' Constitutional rights -- including rights of ACCESS to information and opinions -- that go unpunished are threats to national security. I expect that "errors" are being inserted in my essays at MSN.
October 2, 2008 at 2:54 P.M. My security system was frozen in mid scan. I will attempt to restore it. At the moment, I cannot access my security sytem at all. If I am unable to do so, I will attempt to reboot my computer.
October 2, 2008 at 12:39 P.M. Three attempts to reach my MSN group have been unsuccessful. I will persist in my efforts throughout today. Then I will try again tomorrow. Please see "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "What is it like to be tortured?"
October 2, 2008 at 10:24 A.M. Attempts to reach Critique at MSN were frustrated this morning. Scans were cancelled because my updating feature has been disabled, again. I am unable to post new essays or change my image at my group or blogs. I will spend the rest of the day struggling to run new scans and to continue writing, somehow, if necessary from a public computer.
October 1, 2008 at 6:43 P.M. harassment, defacements and obstructions again make it impossible for me to reach my group. I will keep trying throughout the evening and all day tomorrow. There is always a danger that I may be unable to continue writing from this computer. I will try to find another in order to continue writing. It is also likely that more vandalism of essays and other damage to my writings is taking place. Calls received at 6:00 P.M. from 877-504-1031; at 10:01 A.M. from 315-445-4300; numerous calls, at all hours, from "Anonymous."
October 1, 2008 at 2:31 P.M. I was just obstructed and denied access to my MSN group, Critique. This usually means that "errors" will be inserted in my writings, other vandalism and computer warfare must be expected. This could mean that more indictments are forthcoming in the Garden State. I will do my best to make timely repairs of damaged essays.
"New Jersey in Denial," The New York Times, September 26, 2008, at p. A24.
"7th Case of Legionnaire's Disease in N.J.," http://www.msnbc.com/id/26906427/ (September 27, 2008).
"The latest scheme to raise money for New Jersey's transportation system is an admission of defeat by the Corzine administration and a victory for the spineless legislators unwilling to confront the state's budget crisis."
Not only are legislators "spineless," so are the members of the state's befouled Supreme Court and Attorney General's office, especially the disgraced Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE). New Jersey's OAE is short of real lawyers and even more lacking in genuine "ethics."
Fittingly enough, 7 more cases of Legionnaire's Disease have appeared in the so-called "Garden State" which may be related to unprecedented levels of poisonous waste -- both medical and chemical waste -- throughout the state and in local beaches. (See "Double Standards and Medical Waste in New Jersey.")
It is probable that pay offs to N.J. state officials have allowed for these astonishing levels of life-threatening pollution to flourish in the Garden State. Many more than 7 cases of horrible diseases produced by this rot are hidden from residents or "covered-up," allegedly. Trenton is good at "cover-ups."
"Facing a staggering $32 BILLION deficit" -- also as a result of corruption and waste, mostly -- "Gov. Jon S. Corzine last winter boldly proposed significantly higher tolls and other measures that would have paid for transportation improvements while cutting the deficit in half."
Corzine, apparently, had not received instructions from George E. Norcross, III or Richard J. Codey when making these proposals. Some say the deficit is $36 BILLION -- but what's a few billion dollars among friends or family members, if you know what I mean?
"[Corzine's] latest proposal, which calls for much smaller toll increases, contains $10 billion to widen congested sections of the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway" -- there is no truth to the rumor that African-Americans will be barred from these roads since this would deprive South Jersey cops of future torture victims -- "repair roads and bridges and kick-start a new rail tunnel to Midtown Manhattan. But there's not a penny for debt reduction. The reason is a toxic combination of public resistance and the Legislature's cowardice." (emphasis added)
The judiciary is more cowardly, corrupt, inept, failing in its duty to protect your rights if you are unfortunate enough to reside in the Garden State. I think the Times is sending a message, despite the psychobabble title of this editorial.
New Jersey's powers that be must deal with the state's responsibility for avoidable human suffering, tragedy resulting from government criminality, and grotesque incompetence on the part of persons like Tuchin and Riccioli, not to mention many others in Trenton.
The Garden State is, literally, DISGUSTING to decent persons who care about good government and the American legal system. (See "Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")
"Mr. Corzine's original plan would have raised tolls by 50 percent every four years between 2010 and 2022, at which point it would cost $48 to drive the length of the Turnpike, compared to $6.45 now. ..."
That's just more money for the Jersey Boys to steal. $50 bucks to go to work every day. It is likely that both Corzine and Norcross, along with many others, will be hurt by the market meltdown and the prospects of a new recession. Government investments -- including pension funds, if they still exist! -- may be dissipated, creating another level of crisis for retired persons and those on the verge of retirement who have been paying into the system for years based on the absurd assumption that N.J. officials were at least slightly honest.
What will you say to those seniors about where their money "went," Mr. Corzine? Perhaps you should call Mr. Norcross for advice.
Even more absurd, it seems, is the assumption that people committing crimes in New Jersey's power-structure would actually be prosecuted by someone in the state law enforcement system. Not very likely. Everybody's on the tit. Thank God for the feds. With half the personnel, federal officials have obtained more than twice the number of convictions for political corruption than the current A.G., "Clueless" Anne Milgram, has managed to get during her entire tenure. "Whatever," right Anne?
Is there no one in New Jersey (other than voters) ashamed and disgusted by what the state has come to represent to the nation and world? Do you really believe that attacking my writings on-line is the best response to these criticisms? Isn't cyberstalking a crime in New Jersey?
Mr. Rabner, your tribunal and your legal system are objects of loathing and ridicule, deservedly, as a result of your state's and your own visible and most obvious dishonesty, unethical lawyering, and "judging." You and your disgraced predecessors must bear great responsibility for this situation which is hurting the residents of New Jersey and will continue to do so.
Have you no sense of shame, sir? Are you not concerned to live an ethical life, Mr. Rabner? Continuing apathy is unacceptable in a "Chief Justice" of a failed and even criminal legal system. You, Mr. Rabner, have lost the right to claim respect for your tainted decisions, for yourself, or for the N.J. legal system, as you continue to wallow in deliberate ignorance of heinous criminality by the very public entities entrusted with abiding by and enforcing the law.
The New York Times editorial arrived at the only possible conclusion: "The Legislature cannot duck this forever."
