July 4, 2003 When I first invented the "Watergate" plot, as a youthful lad, in conversation with a family friend, Otis Chandler (former owner of the Los Angeles Times), I had no idea of the repercussions. The original conversation took place in the backyard atrium of my house in Tarzana, California, later purchased by the Producer Steven Deutsch (known for the time- travel classic "Somewhere In Time"). I was simply brainstorming some ideas from comedic shows like "Get Smart" with an intelligent adult. However, eventually, with the increasingly hostile rhetoric of the near-Radical George McGovern prompting me to be concerned about possible assassination attempts, in the 1972, I suggested, through my "contact," that a prophylactic surveillance of the DNC be implemented. While some, obviously, doubt that such methods were inappropriate, my experience, and information, as someone acquainted with JFK's CIA Director (John McCone), was that such precautions were truly reasonable, and very fair, especially given the morass of culpability surrounding the Democrats in the actual, preceding assassination of JFK, himself. The exciting work of the UIUC Journalism School on the identity of "Deep Throat" provokes me to agree that Fred Fielding might well be Bob Woodward's informant; yet, it is much more likely that Bob Woodward, and the Liberal Press, have taken serious liberties with the Truth. For one, I have to seriously doubt the Propriety and Virtue of providing an eponym like "Deep Throat" for anyone who was an informant. A journalist providing that kind of sexually connotative name to a juvenile, for example, is hardly excuseable, under any standards of Law or Journalistic integrity. If I, in fact, used Fred Fielding as an Interlocutor to reveal aspects of the Watergate plot, and/or discussed aspects of the plot with Bob Woodward, at any point, I would surely have objected to the use of the moniker (no pun intended, Mr. Clinton!) "Deep Throat." I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't have, in fact. The mere fact that the name has stuck, of course, was a reason for me to employ counter- measures, by inventing the "Iran-contra" plot, in 1983 (based on the 1938 novel "Finnegans Wake," p. 518, by James Joyce). Psycholinguistically, this is a pun on "Ear On Contra" (implying that I am not listening to the misinformed Liberal Press and its slanderous and somewhat pederastic diatribes). The greatest shame, in my eyes, is that Bob Woodward's (should it be Bob "Wayward's"?) forced name-calling obscures a great deal of my research on time-travel, speech-synthesis/cryptography in Music/Art (especially the early Mozart Salzburg Symphones, like K.# 114), and predictability and prevention of disasters. For example, if Woodward had not deliberately been so oblique and overbearing in his choice of conduct and naming, and had not deliberately obscured, demeaned and/or conflated my identity (as I perceive it), it might have been possible to prevent the September 11 disasters. Unfortunately, because of the damage done by Woodward's mistaken vigilante campaign of disinformation, lies, name-calling and distortion, those disasters took place, although I was able to phonemically identify the names of three of the hijackers well before the Tragedies, and supplied them to the FBI. Perhaps Bob Woodward should be held up, not as an example of a journalistic icon; but as a predecessor to the kind of irresponsibility that allows a scandal like Jayson Blair's fictions being published in the New York Times. In fact, I was recently able to confirm all the facts cited above, meeting with my “secret source” in an undisclosed garage, here in Agoura Hills. For the purposes of Journalistic Integrity, he shall be referred to, hereafter, as “Big Teeth.” Mr Woodward, you aren't out of the woods, yet.... ------------ Email Nicholas Meyler: Nickm@wingate-dunross.com Comment on this column in the forum. ------------ |
