HIG - Hoodlum in Government

Wilhelm Reich's term “Hig” [Hoodlum in Government] formalized by U.S. government

Friends,

As you all know Wilhelm Reich had coined the term "Hig" [Hoodlum in Government] to refer to the phenomenon in which authoritarian persons of a particularly embittered, manipulative, sadistic, gossipy or voyeuristic bent seem to be embedded in high proportion throughout the structures of the State.

This term even comes up in connection with some of his legal papers in reference to his conflicts with the US Govt. which are now preserved at the Wilhelm Reich museum:

How ironic now, about fifty years later, that the US Govt. is formalizing Reich’s term, HIG, and using it as an acronym to describe the new "anti-terrorist" special interrogation teams set up by Obama.

What a world we live in!

"There have been a number of deployments of these Mobile Interrogation Teams to include for the Faisal Shahzad case," said John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism.
