Comey Fired…Now Fire The FBI!

by | May 11, 2017

Yesterday’s sudden termination of FBI Director James Comey sent shockwaves worldwide. The wildest conspiracy theories were served up in the mainstream media. What no one discusses, however, is that the problem is with the system, not with who happens to run it. Do we really need a national police force?

While everyone is talking about President Trump firing James Comey, Director of the FBI, what we should be talking about is whether we should even have an FBI. Look at the track record of this organization — putting Americans in jail for opposing war, spying on Americans for being in peace groups, incinerating Americans at Waco, manufacturing terrorist plots and taking credit for thwarting them, and so on — and ask whether the FBI has been a benefit to our liberty and safety or not. Forget about Comey — it’s the whole system that needs to be fired!
