ho ho...
This time it's Tom Hayden (Jane Fonda's ex-squeeze) over at Arianna Huffington's blog ("Is Robert Novak an Agency 'Asset'?" ...gee, Tom, could he be? Ya think? (you read my post of two weeks ago at this site, you turd; I sent it to thousands of e-sources, Huffington blog included. I worked with William F. Buckley's CIA station-partner in Japan; I know about MOCKINGBIRD.)
These ****s [I]really[/I] don't like to credit me. I've been picked up/plagiarised by Bob Novak (my info as to McCain not running again for Senate in 2004--compare the dates on both articles--, which turned out to be wrong; or else McCain changed his mind...); by Michael Franz at the New York Times, who lifted verbatim sections of Hell Bottled Up: Chronicles of a Late Propaganda Minister during the 2000 GOP primaries, in a hit-piece against McCain, which I loved but would have liked to been credited as a source for; and by Sam Donaldson at ABC News within the same week (2000 GOP primaries; confronting McCain in his livingroom w/ info Mr. Donaldson could only have gotten from Hell Bottled Up which had been featured heavily in my DumpMcCain.com site).
Well, it's nice to know ones stuff is looked at/acknowledged... :cheers:

Good job, Todd. I got a good laugh at of this.

Danke.
A pal of mine in Canada sent me the link to Tom Hayden's article, hypothesizing on a Robert Novak/CIA connection; he'd seen my MOCKINGBIRD article two weeks ago and said, "Hey, man, Tom Hayden is following your lead."
Hayden didn't mention MOCKINGBIRD. But as I sent the article to quite a few e-addresses at HuffingtonPost (Arianna Huffington's mostly-puff Hollyweird political blog), there's no doubt that Hayden took it up for her site.
I'd love to see Novak outed as CIA (will never happen, as MOCKINGBIRD is too deep to lay wide open before the sheeple); likely, Rove will have to fall on his sword to protect Novak. Both being dirty as hell, I don't care how it plays out, as long as Rove is gone.

from the huffington site:
"And so on, over the years. The Washington Post accused him of leaking for Richard Perle in 2003. ("Novak Leak Has Familiar Sound", Oct. 7, 2003). Last year Novak announced that his son was director of marketing for Regnery, publishers of the Swift Boat veterans' book which Novak was touting on the air. According to a biographic source, he is a converted Catholic and member of the secret organization Opus Dei. (google wikipedia, see Walsh, The Secret World of Opus Dei for evidence of funding and connections between the CIA and Opus Dei in Latin America)."
What you and Hayden bring up, if true -- and I don't doubt it -- goes considerably beyond personal whine. What about America? any comment on what this means for us? Is it good? ..or archcriminal subversion of democracy.

Opus Dei is a sticky wicket. It's a private Intelligence arm of the Vatican and which has ties to CIA/FBI (James Jesus Angleton; Robert Hanssen; Louis Freeh and Bob Novak). Most probably tied into the P2 group (a Masonic-type lodge, which is allowed to operate by the Vatican for reasons too complex to get into here; do a Google search).
Whatever the case: Robert Novak is, in my most-educated opinion--and having been schooled in the arts by two Spooks--a CIA agent.
I'm got a goodly measure of Cold Warrior in me, and am not averse to Intelligence functions. But where they impinge on the 1st amendment (Operation MOCKINGBIRD), I'm going to love seeing Novak held under the microscope. & I'm working on a world-wide distribution of the augmented "Spy v. Spy" article (lots of stuff added, and including many links) for weekend release.
Let it bleed. :punk:
