They have been completely ineffectual against an onslaught of rapid-succession provocations by the company and are silent with the exception of announcing the provocations promises that they are "on it."

All of the information we are getting about the integrations is coming from here, FI and the company. Well, that's not fair. They did make an official announcement that a meeting did in fact take place and that many things were in fact discussed.

The rank and file is getting angry and there are rumblings of an overthrow. Nobody is giving any details, but a few people are beating the drums. I have seen no evidence whatsoever that there is any plan in place to fill the void created should the "Anyone but IBT" platform succeed.

There is a distinct attempt on the part of the drum-beaters to ensure that IBT and Sowell remain connected, but there is a deafening silence when it comes to the unfortunate fact that the current EXCO enabled Sowell for years; some of them from the day he showed up on property. One of them was on the Local's board, repeatedly and consistently voting in favor of the shenanigans. It is rumored the Fed's are looking at this sitting EXCO member for perjury in a Federal suit connected to the takeover of the Local.

The whole thing smells like a 3 day old fish.
