Chances are that James Comey reacted to threats. The story is that Comey is totally righteous. He has no critics. This is because FBI director is a position of worship. Society fits such individuals with halos. From that point on he can do no wrong.
A fantasy free economist, which is what I am, treats all people the same. The head of anything gets no halo. Rather than assume Comey is totally righteous, I pay attention to what he does and pay no mind to any preconceived notions about how honest he is. If he does dishonest and deceptive things, then he is dishonest and deceptive.
Organized crime owns your government. Organized crime owns the FBI by virtue of owning the government. Organized crime to some degree owns all representatives and senators. Some lawmakers are completely owned. How do we know which ones? Just watch and listen. Anytime a lawmaker says or does something that seems completely out of character or unreasonable, the activity is mob inspired. Crossing the mob has severe consequences. I suggest listening to Paul Ryan or Lindsay Graham.
Remember the bizarre Bill Clinton meeting with Loretta Lynch. The best place to threaten someone is in a setting where no recording can be made. Lynch had no choice but to do what she was told to do. James Comey had no choice either.
Fantasy free, euphemism free thinking is not that pleasant. There is an upside. The assessment of any observation is nearly always accurate. I can’t imagine the stress one would go through purging the mind of fantasies and euphemisms. I really don’t know. I was born the way I am.
There is something very unique about observing an activity in the present. There are no numbers to make reference to. Nothing can be proved. Observations can be made and anecdotal evidence can be used. But, without the handicap of false definitions and information perception of reality is nearly 100% accurate. Incentives that people have become completely clear. What is seen is true.
Self interest is the controlling influence in any social transaction. What the FBI director did was in his own self interest. He removed him from harms way. I can’t say that I blame him but his doing so was very damaging to the country.
One fantasy that is universal to all people is that government and people working in government are acting in the best interest of the folks they are charged with serving. For anyone interested in giving up fantasies, that one is a good one to start with.
