Call me a cynic. I have heard it said repeatedly that FBI Director, James Comey is a man of unending, undying, overflowing integrity. Really? And we base this judgment on what exactly?
Let us just assume Comey is an honest man. He is directing one of the most corrupt agencies America has ever produced. This is an agency that needlessly burned children alive at Waco. They murdered a woman and her 14 year old son at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. Perhaps to keep their skills sharp, the FBI killed Ibragim Todashev on May 22, 2013.
The FBI's Boston field office out-mafiaed the mafia. They let a homicide take place that they could have prevented and then sent four innocent men to prison to protect an informant. Their lawlessness predated Whitey Bulger's reign of terror by over a decade. In an Orwellian rewriting of history they created a Bulger/Connolly/Southie mythology that omits H. Paul Rico from the narrative. In return for "technical assistance" and the veneer of legitimacy, the creators of the horse shit movie, "Black Mass" conspicuously erase the ongoing significant influence of one, H. Paul Rico, a retired FBI agent who died in jail awaiting trial for murder.
Space and time does not allow for the airing of all of the Fibby's dirty laundry. We do need to mention Robert Hanssen, a former FBI counter-espionage big shot, is now serving 15 life sentences for selling US secrets to both the Russians and the Soviets. And of course, the Bureau's greatest hits will always be headlined by J. Edgar Hoover who allowed his agency to be baptized by the high priests of organized crime shortly after its birth. It would be a cozy relationship that would continue for the duration of Hoover's life.
So even if the unfounded rumors that James Comey is a man of high integrity happens to have a coating of truth, this saintly figure has descended into a pit of vipers. Does anyone really think he can herd snakes?

Trump/Christie? Say It Ain't So
I thought Trump was going to bring a federal legislator to the ticket, an insider to balance the ticket and to serve as liaison to Congress. Maybe not.
What does Christie bring to the ticket? Another Northeasterner whose shtick looks like a bad imitation of the top of the ticket.
Come on, Donald.

Alex Epstein Replies To Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey
This is not your father's Democratic Party. This is naked thuggery.
From Forbes
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is persecuting ExxonMobil XOM +0.76% and now me for having opinions on fossil FOSL +3.17% fuels she disagrees with. My company, the Center for Industrial Progress, is one of the 12 cited in the new subpoena of Exxon, meaning that Exxon is supposed to release any private or confidential correspondence any of its employees have ever had with anyone from my company. I have nothing to fear whatsoever about what such a witch-hunt would or wouldn’t reveal on my end, but I do not tolerate anyone violating my rights.
So I wrote the Attorney General a three-word response that is not appropriate for a family publication. See it here.
If you don't want to click, I replay the response here: "Fuck off, fascist"

Reprint From June 3, 2014: UK Independence Party Emerges
This blog is not exactly a crystal ball and a few trends have gotten past the blogmeister but it does please us when we spot a wave. In this case, the tsunami in question is UK's Independence Party.
UK Independence Party Shocks The World
OK, it's not like I know what I am talking about because the more I read up on the European Union and UK politics, the more confused I get. But the upshot is this: The United Kingdom Independence Party carried the recent Parliament elections with about 27.5% of the vote. The British versions of Democrats and Republicans, The Labour Party and Conservative Party respectively, placed second and third.
There is no US parallel but imagine an election where the D's and R's got second and third. It might turn a few heads. UKIP is the closest thing the UK has to a Tea Party movement. They want to leave the EU and send a lot of imported criminals and terrorists back where they came from. Not surprisingly, UKIP members are portrayed as bigots in the British press.
Britain holds general elections in 2015 and I am not sure what this portends or if portends anything. Meanwhile, the Front National Party is getting attention in France. Similar "Eurosceptic" organizations are forming throughout Europe.
I am of two minds about globalization. I think cross-border trade is a good thing but unfortunately it comes with baggage, often in the form of elitist imperialism. Trading with Asia is good but UN small arms regulations, not so much. In the case of the EU, it is rule by the escargot class. If I lived in Europe I would reject everything the leaders endorsed.
I don't know much about IKIP but to paraphrase a great president, "Ich bin auch ein Eurosceptic."
