My old friend Bill Anderson kindly asked me about the Waco coverup during the question-and-answer portion of my spiel at last week’s Mises Institute conference. Here’s my response: The feds got away with covering up the worst parts of that atrocity – or at least with delaying the damning evidence so long that the political damage was minimized. Same thing happened with Obama’s coverup of the torture scandal. I worked in a hat-tip to the heroic John Kiriakou, the CIA official who blew the whistle on torture – and who was sent to prison by Obama and Eric Holder’s Justice Department (the only CIA official to serve time in the torture scandal).
I scrunched this video down slightly to get it to fit on the blog; a higher quality version is available here at about one hour into the taping.

Here’s a screenshot of my lament about coverups – 
I had the great good fortune to be there at the MI conference to hear Jim Bovard in person. His presentation was simply brilliant … I am still laughing over some of his bad jokes.
Do also look at the Q&A where Jim talked about the atrocity of US sponsored torture in response to a Q asking about the worst scandal he had ever covered.
Its a real shame we don’t have anyone like him over here in the UK.
Keep up the good work Jim!
Thanks very much!
Kevin Dowd, one of the most effective leaders of the Brexit campaign, gave a great speech at the Mises Institute conference – you can see it here –

Kevin delivered one of the best floggings of mainstream macroeconomics I have ever heard.
I am looking forward to his pending bombshell….
(hope the email I sent made it past the spamcatcher at Durham)
