October 18, 2009 at 4:23 P.M. A massive attack against my security system has rendered that expensive system inoperable. I will continue to struggle to restore my security system. I find it impossible to believe that this level of public cybercrime can take place without the cooperation of government officials. The same government officials who speak of law and order as well as freedom of speech to the world.
February 25, 2009 at 12:20 P.M. Phone calls received from (201) 917-7310. Hudson County, New Jersey? How curious that I would receive a call concerning my "auto warranty"? I have lived in New York for years. I do not own a car. Continuing efforts to access MSN are unsuccessful. Evidently, the Internet is "closed."
February 25, 2009 at 5:14 P.M. Censorship and harassment efforts prevent me from accessing MSN. Numerous attempts earlier today resulted in denials of access to the Internet.
If it still exists, I urge readers to visit my group at MSN (Critique) and read my writings there.

A New York judge acquitted three N.Y. city police detectives in the shooting death of Sean Bell, who died on the morning of his wedding day 17 months ago, after the detectives fired a total of 50 BULLETS at Mr. Bell. At Madison Square Garden, there will be a gathering to protest the judge's decision and to deplore continuing evidence of brutality and racism in the American legal system. The acquittals were the result of a smart decision by defense lawyers to avoid a jury and select a hard-line judge as fact-finder. A New York jury would probably have convicted these cops.
Not so long ago, the victim of such a shooting might well have been Mr. Obama. Physical appearance alone, based on racial profiling, would make America's current president a candidate for arrest or probable cause questioning on the New Jersey Turnpike and Parkway. ("Driving While Black [DWB] in New Jersey" and "An Unpleasant Encounter With New Jersey's State Police.")
Defense counsel in the Bell case obviously selected the right judge, a man whose lack of compassion and disregard for the feelings of the victim's loved-ones gave a new meaning to the term: "legal inhumanity."
"We don't care about the protest," the judge is reported to have said, "we move on to the next case." What a great humanitarian this judicial ace must be!
No doubt this judge doesn't care much about the family-members and friends of Mr. Bell. So what if Bell didn't actually "do" anything illegal? One less "negro" to worry about, right judge? Remember, this man is a judge. Perhaps this is not the sort of official or judge whom the Obama administration will appoint to higher office. (See "Richard A. Posner on Voluntary Actions and Criminal Responsibility.")
My experiences of censorship and suppression of speech, which must be condoned by legal authorities or incompetent judges somewhere in the system, suggests that there are persons inclined to disregard the Constitution when it is inconvenient. Ironically, this week (February, 2009) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received reports suggesting that there are "human rights" violations in China, Russia, and Cuba. I wish to bring to the attention of the Secretary of State civil rights violations of American citizens, like myself, at the hands of New Jersey's corrupt officials and others. Tell your friends in law enforcement about these crimes.
Without challenging the factual basis for those conclusions -- I haven't read the reports prepared by American officials -- I suspect that Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and even my own public experiences of censorship and psychological tortures will diminish U.S. credibility on such issues. I hate to say it, but we have lost a great deal of respect in the world. Worse, we deserve to lose respect and credibility on such issues as long as we permit atrocities to go unpunished and continued (public) violations of civil rights to take place with impunity.
I am still unable to access my writings at Critique; even at my own expense, my book will not be sent to online booksellers; images cannot be posted by me at this blog; my writing efforts take place against an onslaught of cybercrime and harassment making use of government technology. ("What is it like to be tortured?")
It is a federal crime to conspire to violate a person's civil rights, including suppressing or altering free speech or forms of expression or violating privacy. Has MSN really "closed"?
If there is an international audience for my daily experiences and if these experiences are only possible because of the abuse or corruption of American governmental authorities and power (as I suspect), then we should lose credibility on human rights issues.
As an American torture victim, whose daily struggle for recognition meets with the same callous indifference from America's worst jurisdiction (where Sean Bell is a frequent phenomenon), I will continue to protest. More of us should find a way to be a part of this struggle for recognition of woundedness and pain. The worst problems in the U.S. legal system are the result of the intellectual mediocrity and insensitivity -- sometimes also deliberate cruelty and sadism -- of many persons selected to serve on the judicial bench. (See "America's Holocaust" and "How to Execute the Innocent in New Jersey.")
The politicizing of the bench in recent years has resulted in judicial appointments for some of the most stupid and greedy, so-called "political whores" with nowhere else to go in the system. New York is paradise by comparison with New Jersey, where judges were on the phone with politicians -- or interrupted trial proceedings to get instructions from local mob-political "bosses," routinely -- and where persons have been placed in judicial positions when they become a threat to the system's fat cats. See my essays concerning the political "power broker," George E. Norcross, III.
Mafia soldiers and lawyers crowd judicial conferences in Trenton. Judges are "for sale" in the Garden State. If you are unfortunate enough to be a litigant anywhere in New Jersey, you can be sure that legality and due process will have little to do with what happens to you. Mob bosses often control legal outcomes from behind the scenes. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")
The deepest problem, once again, is RACISM. The only possible justification for firing at a suspect is to render the person "non-threatening," so that he or she can be taken into custody. 50 bullets fired at anyone suggests that this goal has been forgotten. How did the person resist arrest after, say, the 36th shot? How was the man a threat after the 40th shot?
I find it unlikely that, after reloading their weapons (twice), the police officers in the Bell case were still "threatened" or concerned for their safety. ("Driving While Black [DWB] in New Jersey" and "America's Holocaust," "Mafia Involvement in New Jersey Politics and Law" and "Mafia Involvement in New Jersey's State Police.")
On the other side of this issue, most of the officers involved in the Bell incident were not white. NYPD is great in the overwhelming majority of instances, deservedly called "New York's finest," and not at all on the level of the cops involved in harassing me, or in the many crimes committed against me in what is now nationally described as "America's legal toilet," New Jersey.
Like Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, however, this Sean Bell incident or tragedy for family-members and friends of the deceased young man, Mr. Bell, is a continuing chronicle of pain lived on a daily basis -- unrecognized, trivialized, denigrated, along with the humanity of the victim(s).
Just as I mourn the death of every police officer shot on the streets of our cities, killed on 9/11, wounded or injured on the job, so we all must share in the suffering of those victims of police crimes whose lives are diminished by such tragedies, every day, whose pain (like mine) will be life-long. The most unbearable melancholy results from the awareness that, more than he can possibly imagine, this cruel remark by an unfeeling judge is highly accurate ... "We wait for the next case."
There will be another Sean Bell, another Amadou Diallo in New York, and (I fear) another Juan Galis-Menendez in New Jersey -- brutally tortured and censored by a state riddled with organized crime's influence in a cancerous legal system. "Sean" sounds so much like "Juan." Ethics? Do you speak to me of ethics, Mr. Rabner? Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner, about what you and your legal system have come to represent to the world?
I will continue to rub your faces in the excrement that is your laws and hypocrisies in New Jersey.
