	J. Edgar Hoover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hoover habitually fired FBI agents, either randomly or by singling out those who "looked stupid like truck drivers" or had "pointy heads."

	J. Edgar Hoover
		Edgar Hoover was the best FBI director organized crime could ever have wanted; it was difficult for syndicate members to be antagonized by a law enforcement official who claimed neither organized crime nor a Mafia existed in the United States.
		Hoover's preoccupation with the races became so pronounced that he was frequently photographed at the $2 window and had a form letter that was sent out to irate citizens objecting to his wagering.
		Hoover probably was fearful that, like other law enforcement agencies that came in contact with organized crime and the Mafia, the FBI would be tarred with the brush of corruption, since syndicate criminals had huge funds available for the fix.

	A Huey P. Newton Story - People - J. Edgar Hoover & the FBI PBS
		John Edgar Hoover [commonly known as J. Edgar Hoover] was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] for 48 years from May 10, 1924 until his death on May 2, 1972.
		On June 15, 1969, J. Edgar Hoover declared, "the Black Panther Party, without question, represents the greatest threat to internal security of the country"; he pledged that 1969 would be the last year of the Party's existence.

	Dirty Politics--Hoover, Blackmail, O.J. Simson and Murder
		Hoover considered Marilyn Monroe to be a serious threat to the national security of the United States, and she certainly fanned his paranoia in 1960 when she became a sponsor of SANE, the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy.
		Given Hoover's paranoia and obsessions, it is not unreasonable to assume that there exists a closet full of controversial "suicide" cases which reflect Hoover's tendency to use the influence of his "infallible" FBI to enlist the services of unsuspecting or sympathetic professionals, in his private, covert war against domestic "subversives".
		Hoover was particularly obsessed by the struggle in hollywood because he believed that Communists were trying to infiltrate the movie industry and he certainly was not about to let that happen.

	Salon Health & Body J. Edgar Hoover: Gay marriage role model?
		Yanking J. Edgar and Clyde flamboyantly out of the closet and waving their relationship with the rainbow flag may assist the cause of gay activists, but the truth remains that the master detective who spied on everyone else's sex life left the dossier on his own libido decidedly empty.
		Edgar Hoover, the FBI chief, and his longtime companion, Clyde Tolson, were an ambiguously gay crime-fighting duo.
		Richard Nixon's obscene comment upon hearing of Hoover's death ("Jesus Christ, that old cocksucker!") perhaps describes the opinion of inside observers, but no letters, photos, diaries or reliable witnesses can carnally tie the two men together.

	The Real Crimes of J. Edgar Hoover
		The issue of whether or not Hoover and Clyde Tolson ever were intimate is not only superficial but a smokescreen to hide John Edgar Hoover's gross dereliction of duty and hostility to the ideals he was sworn to protect.
		ince we are living in a society that is now one big E Channel, gossip-driven, sensationalistic exercise in unnecessary exposures, let me tell you that the author of Puppetmaster, Richard Hack, a resident of Provincetown and Maui, has thoroughly investigated John Edgar Hoover's sexuality and found no evidence of bisexuality.
		Hoover had blood on his hands, as Richard Hack amply demonstrates-the blood of the men and women he defamed as "Communists," using HUAC and Joe McCarthy as his puppets, and the blood of people who were corrupted and forced into illegal activities by organized crime's shylocks, and the blood of tyranny against innocent African Americans.

	Herbert Hoover
		Capone should have been talking about J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but he was not.
		J. Edgar, as early as 1930, demonstrated that he most certainly was not going to have anything to do with any form of organized crime, and certainly not with the Capone mob in Chicago.
		Hoover turned to his Treasury Department for action, and Andrew Mellon, the secretary of the treasury at the time, later recounted the events that occurred daily at "meetings" of the president's so-called Medicine Cabinet, a group of high officials he had in to the White House each morning to toss around a medicine ball.
