I had posted a few links showing that the daughter of Deep Throat is involved with cultist Franklin Jones and that Franklin Jones' main thing seems to be extracting large sums of cash from his followers while he lives in luxury on a private island with nine wives. Blogger Rogers Cadenhead ran into an article in the San Francisco Chronicle (scroll down towards the bottom):
Untold story: The big bucks are going for her father's tale, but Joan Felt, the Santa Rosa woman who persuaded her 91-year-old live-in dad to come out as Watergate's "Deep Throat," has quite an intriguing story of her own.
Susan Hales of Merrillville, Ind., phoned us the other day to say she'd spotted Felt on TV during the coverage of her dad, former FBI honcho Mark Felt. Joan Felt, she said, was the same "beautiful" woman who briefly took her in to her Santa Rose home years ago after they had spent some wild times as devotees of onetime Marin County spiritual sect leader Da Free John, a.k.a. Bubba Free John, a.k.a. Dau Loloma, a.k.a. Da Love-Ananda, a.k.a. Franklin Jones.
Hales remembered Joan Felt talking freely about her association with Da Free John, the son of a Long Island window salesman who claimed to be an "incarnation of God" and whose nine wives included a Playboy centerfold.
Finally, two readers left some comments that I think deserve a wider audience as they typify the sloppy logic of the left. Reader "Oh Dear" from New Zealand left the following:
It's a shame that you insist upon parading your ignorance and poverty of mind on the web, but that - for better or for worse - is one of the reasons the net exists, i guess.
If someone was looking for a definition of an Ad Hominem attack, this comment would be a good place to start. What ignorance and poverty of mind are you talking about? If you can see it to call me on it, you must be able to cite some examples. Show me where I am being ignorant. I call what I was doing "fact checking" and I was backing it up with "links to source data"... The second reader comment was from "tony" in Japan:
Why don't you put a photo of yourself on your blog and list under it all your qualifications re: spiritually?
Why don't you comment on your own limitations instead of muck raking about things you know almost nothing about.
Th statements you have made about Sri Adi Da are untrue, hearsay and I assure you to put it bluntly, ignorant.
Sri Adi Da owns nothing, He is a renunciate.
Why should my reports on a deceitful "guru" require my photo and personal qualifications for "guru-hood"? I am very much aware of my personal limitations but last I checked, they do not extend to fact finding and link clicking. I call bullshit on your protestations of untrue, hearsay and ignorant. The fact that he can claim to be renunciate is bookkeeping smoke and mirrors. He may not have a personal checking account but I bet that whatever little Frankie wants, little Frankie gets including nine wives, a gorgeous tropical island, gourmet foods... His followers will seemingly do anything to indulge his sensuality. I will repeat something from an earlier post: Great photo -- I am reminded of a horribly spoiled and self-indulgent five year old boy.
