The FBI has always been a state security service for protecting the expansion of power of the government much like the NKVD and KGB. Some may scoff at such a comparison and point to the "political" nature of the Russian security apparatuses but a reflective human would adduce that all malum prohibitum crimes are by their nature and implementation political transgressions.

I officiated the marriage of my middle son, Connor, in north Idaho this month and it was great to get the clans together. Yes, I am an ordained minister and Asatru gothi.

I am fortunate in that all my new in-laws are close friends and two of our children have married classmates who were home educated with them in our tight little private education community. Chloe and Connor have known their new spouses since they were 12 and 10 respectively. None of them have darkened the halls of a local mind laundry.
