James Murray will be the new director of United States Secret Service. He has been with the force for 30 years. A source claims that he will join Snap Inc. and report directly at its CEO Evan Spiegel.
Murray's 27-year career included roles as special agent, investigator, deputy director of protection operations, and director. He was the 26th director in the Secret Service. He will retire July 30, 2022.
Murray worked with the Secret Service to plan and coordinate the global protective mission of the agency, which included the investigation of threats to presidential candidates, and the transitions. Murray was also responsible for the Secret Service’s investigation into financial crimes and its response to COVID-19.
Murray has been involved in numerous other projects. Murray appeared as Elizabeth I in the Billy the Kid/Elizabeth I episode on "Drunk History: UK", (2017). Internationally acclaimed labels like Ultimae Records have also released his music. Murray's compositions often have strong concepts, a light touch and a signature sonic pallet.
Murray was born in Staten Island (NY) and graduated with a Bachelor in Science from Monsignor Farrell High School. After graduating, he enrolled at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., to study with his future coworkers Joe Gatto, Brian Quinn, Sal Vulcano, etc. Later, he was accepted at Indiana University for a master of arts in economics.
Murray was then assigned as a special agent to the New York Field Office. He returned to Staten Island after his service in the New York Field Office and was made deputy assistant director for protective operations.
Murray was appointed as director of the agency earlier in the year. Murray's decision to leave the Secret Service is not surprising. However, there have been several scandals within the Secret Service. Murray has been fired before.
Murray was a former member of the U.S. Army Reserve. He also served in Department of Transportation prior to taking the Secret Service's top job. A former colonial administrator, Murray also served as a military officer. Murray commanded a battalion involved in the Siege of LOUISBOURG during the Battle of PLAINS of ABRAHAM. Until British warships arrived, the garrison was held hostage by the undefeated French forces. After the siege, Murray remained in command of Quebec.
Murray rose to the rank of director after he began his work to professionalize Secret Service. He was instrumental in resetting mobile devices to factory settings during a three-month-long system migration. Another is his decision to allow former political appointee Tom Ornato to work as a political adviser.
Murray's transition to the private sector will occur in August. His last day at the Secret Service is expected July 30. He will now be the head of security at Snapchat.
FAQ
Is there any Hollywood blacklist for actors?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. The names are not known to us. This is why it matters.
The reason for the secrecy is that the blacklisted actors and directors wouldn't be able to find jobs. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. That would result in a reduction in spending on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. They would then go bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
In other words, if someone is trying to make an Oscar winning movie, they might have to sign a contract that says they won't speak openly against their employers. This applies to any producer or director who wishes to be nominated.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Directors may threaten to quit projects that don’t align with their vision.
This is why Hollywood keeps a blacklist. If you speak negatively about your employer, you will likely be fired. That's bad for everyone.
It is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused. They've had the toil to clear their name.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
So we need to take down the Hollywood blacklist.

What dark secrets are there in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of the industry. There are companies like the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), who sets film ratings and the RIAA, which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Large corporations own most major studios and networks of television.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they can help us make better decisions.
These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.
In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.
You can ignore them if they don't agree with you.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
You'll see why they are so important.
What is your most secretive community?
You might be surprised at the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One tiny town in western New York State lost its 1,200 inhabitants without trace. It was abandoned without any remains, including no bodies, cars, or houses. The only thing that survived was a road sign, which pointed to its former location.
This tiny town vanished without any trace. Some say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
The residents of this once prosperous community believe that whatever happened, their town is not gone forever. They had just relocated to another town.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
The question is, where did this place go? It's actually in Switzerland!
Zugspitze is located on the border between Germany and Austria. Just beyond the summit of the mountain is a huge lake called Lake Zugspitze.
It has always fascinated and astonished me to see how many towns have vanished but still exist. Why does some vanish while others remain? I decided to investigate.
I was curious about the disappearing towns. What makes a town disappear? How can one place vanish from existence?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory suggests that a community disappears when all of its buildings are removed. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. A third theory states that the town didn't exist at all.
Theories aside, the fact remains that dozens of towns around the globe have been swallowed up by the ground. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.
