... surprisingly, the public becomes increasingly cynical as 'news' devolves into 'entertainment'. And along comes Mr. Felt. Who is applauded, but not much examined. Who is he, other than a G-man? Well, he's the fellow who was outraged by the Watergate break-in, which (we're told) was about Nixon's evil spooks breaking into, and bugging, the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate. (Never mind that the only bugging device found inside the DNC was characterized as a broken 'toy' by Felt's own FBI ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 8) June 1985 Last¦ Contents¦ Next Issue 8 Books Secret Agenda: Watergate, Deep Throat and the CIA Jim Hougan (Random House, US 1984) Those who read Hougan's last book Spooks will know that the arrival or a new one is something of an event. As expected, his latest has so many trails to follow, intriguing little titbits to ponder that one read is insufficient to do justice to what I expect to be a major work. Having read it once- ...

(c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 41) Summer 2001 Last¦ Contents¦ Next Issue 41 Jim Hougan's Watergate theory tested in court Introduction In January something very unusual happened in America: one of the major items of American parapolitics got aired in court. In the years following the events which led to Nixon's resignation, there were many Watergate books, not least those written by the participants in the drama- Dean, Haldeman, Colson, Ehrlichman and Nixon himself. They all offered up variations on the themes established in 1974/ ...

... for their involvement in criminal activities- the latter for smuggling activities from a Costa Rica base owned by Anastasio Somoza, the patron of Torrijos' current enemy Orlando Bosch. According to an FBI report on Frank Sturgis in 1972, when Hunt recruited him and Barker for Watergate "sources in Miami say that he is now associated with organised crime activities". (emphasis added) (56) When this FBI claim was made part of the highly publicised Senate Hearings in February 1973 on the nomination of L. Patrick Gray, the ...

Traditional modes of political organisation, whether reformist or radical, have little chance by themselves of challenging the CIA's 'world-wide infrastructure' of political power. In the ...

As Steve Dorril said in Lobster 8, this is a major event. This essay is in two parts. In the first I make some critical remarks about Secret Agenda's central theses; In the second I speculate about other items on the 'secret agenda' of Watergate.

... Secret Agenda and, on another topic, Frank Terpil. Throat Secret Agenda is deliberately ambiguous on the subject of Deep Throat's identity. Basically, I conclude that if Throat was a prominent member of the Nixon Administration, well-known to the public at the time of the Watergate affair, then he can only have been General Alexander Haig. But there is no reason to assume that. Throat could just as easily have been a comparative unknown- in which case, he was almost certainly someone whom Post reporter Bob Woodward met during his ...

After the Chilean bloodbath of September 1973 the tide turned briefly the other way, as a paralysed Washington did ...
