February 23, 2009 at 1:13 P.M. Efforts to reach my MSN Group Critique are blocked and a notice appears on my computer indicating that MSN Groups is "closed." I will continue to struggle to return to my MSN Group. My ISBN number 978-1-43-3-2393-8 (for which I paid the maximum fee at Lulu) has been deleted from my second book, a book which continues to be suppressed.
I will struggle to try to make my work available to readers through on-line booksellers. I will also struggle to reach my MSN Group, if it still exists, every day or to find an alternative location where I can post essays and other writings with images. My security system was blocked yesterday. I cannot say what further damage has been done to my essays at this time. You are witnessing the contrast between America's legal promise of free speech and the reality of suppression and destruction of speech through cybercrime against dissidents.
February 9, 2009 at 12:03 P.M. hackers have only inserted two "errors" in this text and others, since yesterday. I will respond with a long essay on the shocking sexual proclivities of selected New Jersey Superior Court judges. I will do my best to make corrections of any other vandalized writings as quickly as possible.
The Xanadu Project in the Meadowlands and disturbing allegations concerning political corruption surrounding that project will be examined next. Right, Senator Bob? Is there a connection between Senator Bob, New Jersey, and Lulu.com? Mr. Ginarte, can you shed some light on these mysteries? Stuart Rabner? Anne Milgram?

After another morning of war with my would-be censors from the Garden State, I have decided to focus on some issues concerning the persistence of memory -- issues that are associated with the need for justice. New Jersey's ethical tumor continues to morph and grow. Perhaps the system in that putrid state is beyond surgical repair.
My books are available for free download at http://www.Lulu.com/JuanG . However, my second book will not be sent to on-line booksellers. The ISBN number that I purchased, at the maximum rate, has disappeared from my storefront rather than being attached to a new edition of my book. The effect of these shenanigans is censorship. I will continue to write.
The dreadful problems of N.J.'s legal system are illustrative and suggestive of broader tendencies that merit careful examination, that is, if we are to avoid reliving the catastrophes of the past. There is enough trouble coming our way -- former Vice President Cheney is right about the impending attacks, thanks to the disastrous choices of the Bush/Cheney administration -- so that much which we have tried to ignore must be faced in order to avoid making things even worse for our children.
There can be no coming to terms with evil, no acceptance of atrocity, no reconciliation with the Holocaust and what the murders of those years were about, which is dehumanization as a legal principle. The adoption of this principle of dehumanization by victims of that horror is an abysmal and unpredictable development that disgusts more than infuriates me. I am not a slave.
The complicity in evil, numerous accomodations with atrocity, on the part of Stuart Rabner and his tribunal -- the word "tribunal" is undeserved by Mr. Rabner or his "colleagues" in New Jersey -- are indicative of the atrophy of moral sense in America. These are the persons now in power in this country. Men like Stuart Rabner; women like Anne Milgram. The stupidity, ignorance, and indifference to cruelty of Rabner and his cohorts is not unusual. Others like Rabner may be found elsewhere in the United States. However, I think it is fair to say that New Jersey has reached unique levels of corruption and incompetence in the administration of law. The plague seems to spreading to New York:
"When two guards were accused last month of encouraging inmates in one Rikers Island jail to police themselves, leading to beatings and in one case the killing of an inmate, corrections officers called the situation 'an aberration' and said they had not seen such a case in other units involving other guards."
The difference in New Jersey concerns the involvement of judges in cruelties aimed at inmates and the poor who are unfortunate enough to wander into the corridors of power or courtrooms in Jersey City or Newark -- unless, of course, litigants happen to come from Mr. Rabner's "preferred" ethnic or religious groups. Some people get protected from scrutiny or liability, like Terry Tuchin from Ridgewood or Diana Lisa Riccioli now in the vicinity of the Paramus Mall. Does Diana's alleged lesbianism explain this development, Ms. Milgram? Are you two ladies -- excuse me, female persons -- more than "friends"? Ms. Poritz?
Most New Jersey residents have no chance for a fair or reasonable resolution of a legal dispute in the courthouses and city halls of America's most corrupt jurisdiction. The fix is always in when it comes to New Jersey litigation. Right, "Big Pappa"?
"A former [N.J.] tax specialist who ran a high-priced escort service patronized by former [N.Y.] Gov. Eliot Spitzer was sentenced on Friday to 2 and 1/2 years in prison on prostitution and money laundering conspiracy charges."
I have seen young men in New Jersey Superior Court getting more time on bullshit charges because they have a juvenile record, mostly because they come from neighborhoods where everybody who survives childhood has some kind of rap sheet. No, I don't have a rap sheet. You can't just dismiss what I say by trivializing my remarks as the comments of an "ignorant and politically incorrect ghetto minority male" -- the kind of person whose life may be destroyed with impunity in America -- and who may then be "instructed" by his self-described "superiors" and other members of the ruling class.
Stupidity among N.J. judges and so-called "elite" lawyers will be a future topic. For an example of someone relying on an outdated scientific epistemology who is busy reinventing the wheel, see Susan Jacoby, "Reason Comes in From the Cold," in Ms. Winter, 2009, at p. 40; and then see Claudia Roth Pierpont, "James Baldwin's Flight From America," in The New Yorker, Feb. 9-16, 2009, at p. 102.
I am too well-educated and well-informed for the usual devices by which the system evades responsibility for its evils through displacement of guilt on to the least powerful members of society. You can't duck me that way. I will be in your face, Mr. Rabner (and the same goes for your crooked "colleagues"), for the rest of my life. I will be holding the mirror not up to nature, but before the hideous features of a N.J. legal monster that is devouring more lives every day.
Mr. Rabner, you disgrace and dishonor the robes that you wear by your indifference to terrible suffering resulting from obvious double-standards in a cruel and corrupt system that you serve with cupidity and sadistic pleasure at the pain of others. Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?
"The former tax specialist, Mark Brener, 63, apologized to anyone he had hurt, ... both he and his lawyer asked for leniency."
Leniency? Mr. Brener was rumored for years to be purchasing political protection in Cliffside Park, N.J. (where his international, multi-million dollar business was located). This defendant was hardly a novice or unsuccessful in his activities. Mysteriously, prosecutors did not sit on this guy or play hardball to get the names of the N.J. politicians Brenner was greasing to operate his business, nor did they ask (apparently) about judges who liked a little "half & half" on a Friday night in Bergen County, New Jersey. I cannot help wondering whether Mr. Spitzer was a target of a political destruction effort. The Spitzer matter -- Burton Roberts, also -- looks too weird from my perspective. "Business as usual?"
New Jersey prosecutors could not be bothered to arrest this man. I wonder why?
If this "Mr. Brener" were a Latino or African-American defendant caught pissing on the sidewalk, he would get about the same amount of real time. Maybe a street guy popped for possession of a small amount of CDS would do a nickel. Not Mr. Brener. I bet his lawyer said: "Wear your yamulke." I would have if I were representing a guy like that in the not-so-good-old-days.
I am not now nor have I ever been a drug user, Communist, a member of Al Qaeda nor have I ever paid for sex. Sadly, I have also never been paid for my astonishing sexual skills. I hope to have covered the ad hominem stuff.
Most of the veterans at Hudson County's Brennan Courthouse or the hideous new building that always leaked -- even when it didn't rain -- would chuckle happily over little bits of advice like this on sentencing days. There were some lawyers who seemed to get an especially warm welcome from powerful judges along with invitations to step into their "chambers." These defense lawyers' pockets usually seemed emptier when they left those chambers, but they obtained amazing dismissals. Lucky, I guess.
I have never paid for a judicial decision nor would I do such a thing. This makes me "unethical" in New Jersey.
This Brener "matter" probably could not be brought in New Jersey, where the heavy-hitters were no doubt "into" Mr. Brener for a favor or two. Besides, they are much too busy sending minority boys and men to prison.
"Judge Denny Chin of United States District Court in Manhattan, said he was not moved by [the defendant's] plea, including [the same] lawyer's suggestion that Mr. Brener's crime had ... no victims."
No hypnosis. No drugging. No theft of Mr. Brener's money by his alleged "co-religionist and political pal," Terry Tuchin. Nah, what the hell ... 2 and 1/2 years. We'll let him slide. There's a bachelor party coming up. Brener can hook us up.
"Prosecutors said that Mr. Brener was the organizer of the ring, Emperor's Club [International!] which the government said generated enormous profits that he then laundered [Senator Bob?] using a set of bank accounts opened in the names of fictious businesses." (emphasis added)
Anybody seen Paul Bergrin? U.S. Senator Robert ("Big Pappa") Menendez (D) is rumored to have his finger in the Xanadu pie. What happened with the Grand Juries looking into the Menendez matters? "Accounting Problems," Jose? If you see "errors" being inserted in these essays, then you will conclude that I am on to something. "Where there is smoke, there is fire!" -- right, John?
How's the rental business, Bob? How's that deal in Bayonne treating ya? $30 MILLION, huh? I hope I haven't spoiled anything for ya. How's Donald Scarinsci? Still chasing ambulances? Tell Donald to "sell everything a little short."
"Errors" will be inserted in these essays, every day, while computer attacks must be expected after this essay is posted.
"Prosecutors had told the judge that when Mr. Brener was arrested, the authorities seized $981,000 in CASH in an apartment he shared with another defendant in the case as well as $180,000 in the ring's bank account."
You think that all came from a mom and pop prostitution operation? Estimates are that this represents about 2% of the "available assets" of the outfit, allegedly. What else were they selling? Were minors available for "delivery"? What the hell. Brener may do 18 months, or less. ("We don't know from nothing.")
There are those who suggest -- this can neither be denied nor confirmed! -- that Mr. Brener was "taking care" of Rabner and Milgram, allegedly. However, Rabner and Milgram are two "highly ethical" New Jersey attorneys, like Senator Bob. They are better than the rest of us mere mortals.
"... three judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit are scheduled to hear arguments in a civil case involving kidnapping and torture. The Bush team was using one of its signature legal tactics -- stretching the evidentiary rule known as the state secrets privilege -- to avoid having the detainees' claims ever heard."
Sound familiar? Cover up?
"The five plaintiffs, victims of Mr. Bush's extraordinary rendition program, were seized and transported to secret American facilities abroad or to countries known for torturing prisoners" -- like New Jersey, where Terry Tuchin of Ridgewood operates freely -- "on flights organized by a private contractor." ("This is my first torture.")
Apparent authority? Government is liable when its agents act with mere "apparent authority."
"One plaintiff, an Ethiopian citizen and legal resident of Britain, says he was tortured in Pakistan, Morocco and a C.I.A.-run prison outside Kabul commonly known as the 'Dark Prison' before before being transferred to Guantanamo, where he remains."
Curiously, accounts by inmates at this world-denounced hell hole, Guantanamo, are strikingly similar to my descriptions of events in my life -- descriptions that appeared before the statements of these Arab inmates were made public -- involving tactics of emotional and psychological "induced trauma." Maybe they were reading my blogs. Alternatively, perhaps we are all describing similar TRUTHFUL experiences of atrocity and trauma. In order to escape responsibility for these crimes, it will be necessary for officials to label these men as "liars" and "unethical."
" ... there is a growing body of information about the C.I.A.'s rendition, detention and coercive interrogation programs. More profoundly, the argument that any litigation touching upon foreign intelligence operations is categorically off limits to judicial scrutiny is an affront to the constitutional separation of powers. [sic.]" (emphasis added!)
In Germany, despite calls for an end to Nazi trials, the government continues to pursue war criminals now in their nineties. Without memory and recognition, there can be no justice and no peace for any society. The movement of history is halted with the cover ups of crimes against humanity. There must be a day of reckoning.
Whether the defendant is a corrupt medical doctor experimenting on victims without regard for their pain or financial losses, against their will and without consent in violation of his oath and lying about it (Terry Tuchin), or a murderer of unarmed civilians, justice is the demand of victims and persons of conscience everywhere.
Perhaps it is time for New Jersey to acknowledge responsibility for terrible "faults in judgment" that have continued to produce misery and pain, censorship and cover ups of what can no longer be hidden. The bells are tolling for thee, Mr. Rabner and for you, Ms. Milgram. Say hello to Mr. Brener, if you see him.
My torture experiences with New Jersey's legal profession and system date from 1988 to 2009. These tortures and unconstitutional censorship efforts are well known to Anne Milgram, Esq. and Stuart Rabner, Esq. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")
Did either of Rabner or Milgram share in the loot stolen from my office? Terry? Diana? Senator Bob? How many lawyers were stealing clients?
New Jersey Superior Court and Appellate Division or Supreme Court judges are among "the best that money can buy."
