He who must not be named...

If you thought that line was only from a fairy tale read on ...


Michele McPhee reported on July 1, 2013 — that Accused Boston mob boss, James "Whitey" Bulger, smiled and chuckled during the testimony today of a former cocaine dealer who greeted Bulger from the stand with a friendly, "How are ya?' 


This Story has been unraveling like the J.K. Rowling Novels we have come to love.  How so? Depends on what you take with you from her world.  Having read all of novels at least eight times and an avid history fan, as I read them I imaged Hitler as Voldermont.
However, the twists and turns in our own Boston, MA saga as reported by McPhee and others revealed that Voldermont has been closer to us New Englanders than we may have thought....


We meet people like those found in Harry Potter's world every day and some of us have confronted evil head on. Here are the modern day similarities unraveling in Boston, MA 2013.  Mentioning head on...check out their facial similarities,the lines of their forehead, nose, jaw, ears and even the eyes... The similarities do not end there with those who must not be named...

Federal prosecutor Brian Kelly asked Tower to identify "Jimmy" and Tower looked out into the courtroom, and after he hesitated, he grinned and said: "I know Jim. There he is," and pointed straight at Bulger. "How are ya?" Bulger, witnesses in the court said, smiled and even chuckled as the judge repeatedly admonished Tower to slow down with his testimony because his rapid-fire Boston parlance was getting lost by the court recorder. At breaks in the testimony, Tower could be seen winking at people in the courtroom. The next call Tower received from his brother's kidnapper was decidedly less aggressive, he said on the stand. "Your brother is telling us that you are with some people from South Boston,'' the caller asked, Tower told the court. "They asked 'Boots?' 'Rifleman?"' That was the kidnappers second mistake, Tower said. The federal prosecutor asked why using those names would be viewed as a mistake." You don't use Mr. Bulger's name in regards to doing things,'' Tower answered. "Mr. Bulger would pursue someone who would mention his name." 


Chamber of Secrets 


Lucius Malfoy: Mr. Potter! Lucius Malfoy. We meet at last. Forgive me, your scar is legend. As, of course, is the wizard who gave it to you. 


Harry: Voldemort killed my parents. He was nothing more than a murderer. 


Lucius Malfoy: You must be very brave to mention his name. Or very foolish. 


Hermione: Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.
