COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN SPUTNIK
“FBI Director James
Comey Names Russia ‘Greatest Threat’ on Earth”
Comey, as he already amply demonstrated during the
Presidential election campaign, is a total ass, but then you pretty well have
to be one ever to be appointed to the post he holds.
After all, J. Edgar Hoover set the tone for the FBI for all
time - a paranoid, dog-faced man who never did a thing to make America or the
world a better place, who indeed used to blackmail Congressmen and Presidents
with the secret files he had accumulated.
His record included many horrible acts, from trying to get
refugee Albert Einstein deported to his plan to discredit and threaten Martin
Luther King with the results of covert spying. His record in the Warren
Commission investigation of John Kennedy’s assassination was a disgrace, his
FBI having been given sole role as investigators for the Commission. His
personal animus towards Kennedy was legendary.
He was notorious for letting the Mafia have a free ride
after Prohibition ended while he chased non-existent communists all over
America. It was said that meetings of the small American Communist Party were
filled half, along with their collection plates, by his undercover agents.
There was a reason he never worked seriously against the
Mafia which was able to establish itself firmly into American life.
He and his gay boyfriend (not conjecture but established
fact by several biographers), Clyde Tolson, used to vacation for free at some
of the Mafia’s resorts and gambled at their racetracks.
It has been reported by a prestigious investigative reporter
that Hoover had been caught in compromising photos by the Mafia, and that's why
he never made serious trouble for them.
His main aim in life was to stay in control of the Agency he
largely built as a monument to himself, and he did a great many discreditable
things to do so.
Well, that’s quite a pair of shoes for Comey to fill. I
don’t think he can, but he is trying. He bays to the same moon as the main
Washington establishment does.
Washington resembles cloudcuckooland with thermonuclear
weapons.
