Governor Christie came to office as the crusading reformer committed
to ending New Jersey's "culture of corruption." That was HIS term for
the dismal political reality of the Garden State when he became
Governor: a "culture of corruption."

New Jersey allowed politicians and lawyers to profit personally from
public spending on the basis of individual political
"connections." ("New Jersey's Politically Connected Lawyers On the
Tit.")

A network of insiders -- according to Mr. Christie -- these people
were usually associated with Democrat political bosses, made a bundle
at the taxpayers' expense.

Well, much the same is true today. Political insiders still benefit
from government spending, except that we have a new pack of rats
munching on public cheese. (Again: "New Jersey's Politically Connected
Lawyers On the Tit" and "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New
Jersey Ethics" then "Does Senator Menendez have mafia friends?")

Mr. Christie has merely substituted his friends, whenever possible --
and, sometimes, when it should be impossible -- for Mr. Cody's or
Senator Menendez's or even his sometime friend, Mr. Sweeney's, "pals."
When it is time to hand out the cookies in Trenton these days,
Republicans are at the head of the line. Taxpayers, are paying for the
cookies, but are not getting any to take home. ("New Jersey is the
Home of the Living Dead" and "Cement is Gold.")

For example, the recent Halfway House scandal resulting from newspaper
stories detailing the abuse and expenditures as well as Auschwitz-like
conditions in a number of N.J.'s privatized correctional facilities
that are intended to ease the transition on the part of inmates to
society has produced a demand for reform:

" ... Christie forged a close alliance with a company [CEC] that's
deeply entrenched in New Jersey's political status quo -- a move at
odds with the Governor's public image."

The close involvement of Christie's former partner William J.
Palatucci, Esq. and Joe ("JoeD") DiVincenzo -- who were willing to
accept dangerous inmates in Essex County, preferably in the African-
American community, for a "small fee" -- as well as quiet cooperation
from Sweeney and Codey, also for a small fee, indicate that all of
Christie's reforms amount to business as usual only for a new cast of
players.

Have Community Education Center (CEC) people visited my sites? Are
they involved in the computer crimes and censorship, Mr. Christie? If
so, for whom are they working in attacking me?

Halfway Houses are staffed by poorly-trained, low-wage, ill-educated
"drones" ("N.Y. Times") in order to enhance profits for corporate
owners of facilities whose concern is not public welfare because they
do not live in the communities where these facilities are placed.
Their interest, as owners or stock holders in such quasi-private
entities, is strictly in profits. Allegations that such profits are
"shared" in more ways than one with public officials require an
investigation.

This is the very same corruption that was deemed "appalling" by Mr.
Christie when Democrats were accused of it. Now the issue seems much
less troubling for some reason.

People have been KILLED by escaped inmates. 5,100 inmates at Halfway
Houses have simply walked away from these institutions. Low-risk
offenders are routinely housed with murderers and career criminals,
all kinds of drugs are rampant in these facilities.

Pay-offs to New Jersey's latest group of slimeball politicians have
(so far) precluded meaningful reforms or necessary criminal
prosecutions. The only way that something will happen to protect the
people's interest and the Constitution is if we bring public attention
to bear on this nightmare. ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and
New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "Jennifer Velez is a Dyke
Magnet!")

" ... we fail to understand how facilities that can house 1,000-plus
inmates can be called 'houses.' They are halfway jails, places without
trained staff and armed corrections officers" -- such places are more
dangerous than prisons! -- "without bars, and without, at least from
the 'Times' account, 24/7 safety for inmates and workers."

The result, as usual in New Jersey, is the waste or theft of millions
of public dollars -- this is the real reason for America's
incarceration frenzy, DOLLARS for a tiny group of rich people -- and
also the loss of innocent lives:

"Halfway Houses should be where inmates have a chance to be reborn.
[They are necessary institutions.] But instead of writing birth
notices, we have the obituaries of Derek West Harris and Viviana
Tulli." ("So Black and So Blue in Prison" and "Justice for Mumia Abu-
Jamal.")

America's crime problem will not be solved or brought under control --
just as the so-called "War on Terror" will never be won -- so long as
there is more MONEY to be made by a tiny group of rich investors from
locking-up people than from helping them to deal with their problems.
("Abuse and Exploitation of Women in New Jersey" and "Foucault, Rose,
Davis and the Meanings of Prison.")

Corrupt politicians and bribed judges in New Jersey will only make
things worse, never better. The solution in New Jersey is to silence
the messenger. For this reason, efforts are underway, again, to
destroy this site in order to prevent me from speaking the truth about
these matters as part of Trenton's continuing cover-up efforts. This
censorship is taking place before the eyes of the world. ("How
censorship works in America" and "What is it like to be censored in
America?" then "Struggle.")

Is this New Jersey's legal and political ethics, Mr. Christie and Mr.
Rabner?
