James “Whitey” Bulger, Federal Corruption and Erwin Schrodinger’s Cat

Good morning to all our friends:

James “Whitey” Bulger was convicted by a federal-court jury in Boston yesterday of numerous gangland crimes, including 11 murders.

The New York Times reports,



Mr. Bulger, leader of the notorious Winter Hill Gang, owned and terrorized South Boston, an Irish American enclave. Portraying himself as a “good” bad guy, he secretly agreed with the FBI to provide information about La Cosa Nostra in exchange for the FBI’s permission to conduct his illegal activities.

In the end, he was more concerned about maintaining his reputation as a man who would never snitch on anyone or ever kill a woman, despite evidence that did both.

I mention Mr. Bulger not only because his conviction is big news; I mention him because I want to draw attention to the FBI’s misconduct and remind everyone that it is not the proverbial rotten apple in federal law enforcement.

Consider Exhibit 1, for example, which is Operation Fast and Furious by which the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has supplied firearms and ammunition to Mexican drug cartels ostensibly to track where they went.

The War Against Drugs has been an endlessly corrupting influence that has reached into virtually every nook and cranny in the world, including world banking.

Consider this article by Jeremy Kuzmarov, the J.P. Walker assistant professor of history at the University of Tulsa.

Thought for today:

On another note, yesterday was Erwin Schrodinger’s 126th birthday.

Is your existence dependent on the existence of an observer who observes you, which would ultimately be God, or do you exist in an infinite number of multiverses?

Here’s Michio Kaku on the cat problem conjured up by Schrodinger.




Consider where else will you see a story about Whitey Bulger, Operation Fast and Furious, the corrupting War on Drugs and the startling implications of Erwin Schrodinger’s cat?
