And now his employers are attempting to recycle him
It
is referred to as the WeaselSearch Tape and appeared online on
September 4, 2001 as proof for the statements made by John Connolly
in his article, “Sex, Lies and the Tape.” The article's target
was John Fund, then at the Wall Street Journal. Fund had intimidated
Tina Brown, then still editor of Talk Magazine, to drop the article.
Naturally, Fund's attorney, John
J. Walsh, billed for services rendered.
Forget
Morgan. The Tape shows you a well trained NeoCon Operative using
exactly the same techniques on his girl friend used on the American
people, both before and after 9/11. Neither Fund or Morgan has any
compunction about lying as it is standard procedure for each of them
separately.
The
lack of conscience and empathy demonstrated is chilling. Look over
these characteristics,
assembled by Robert Hare, a leading expert on psychopathy.
Now,
many more Americans and others around the world realize how badly we
have been lied to. The solution is not revolution but turning off
the flow of money to those responsible.
Read
the article below. Listen to The Tape. Look over the transcript,
with comments providing what is actually happening. This is Part I.
Effective
action is local and uses the power of commerce to correct our
relationship with government and those who have hijacked it. For me,
understanding this began with The Tape.
The Taping - September 1999
It is late afternoon in Jersey City,
where Morgan lived, not far from John Fund's apartment on 1st
Street. Morgan is unhappy with the direction her relationship with
Fund has taken. He has been cold and distanced himself from her.
There is no more talk of marriage and, as always, Morgan is without a
job.
Wanting money, Morgan Pillsbury calls
her mother. During the call Fund's number appears on her phone.
Interrupting her call to Melinda, Morgan began taping. The
conversation made her realize she needed to prove to her mother this
time she is was not lying. It was a hard sell but she knew what was
needed.
The Back Story – October 26, 1998
Fund has been in a sexual relationship
with Morgan Pillsbury since he bedded her during an Objectivist
Conference in New York City. Morgan had arrived there with her
adopted father, Craig Franklin. Franklin and Morgan would continue
their trip together, visiting London and Paris, staying in posh Bed &
Breakfasts and eating in the best places.
At home in Santa Barbara, Melinda is
recovering from surgery and getting ready for a corneal transplant
while caring her son, Arthur, who survived shooting himself in the
brain on March 22.
Fund had asked Morgan, and her four
siblings, call him, “Uncle John,” some years earlier. Fund and
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster had known each other and maintained a
cordial friendship since 1981 and known each other politically for
two years before then.
Craig had told Melinda he was leaving
her on January 23, 1998, two weeks after the family had returned
from Hawaii, where everyone, except Morgan, had spent Christmas
together.
By the time they arrived in New York
Craig Franklin had been paying Morgan to help him minimize the
expense in divorcing Melinda, Morgan's mother, for about a year.
Payments started in the autumn of 1997 when Franklin cut a deal with
his boss, Dan O'Dowd, to defraud O'Dowd's partner, Glenn Hightower of
150 million dollars. As a sort of “Throw Mama from the Train”
deal, O'Dowd agreed to defraud Melinda of her share of the stock
granted to Franklin in 1996. See Greedville
Morgan signed on to assist.
Earlier that year Melinda had moved
Morgan into a two bedroom apartment on Alcott Avenue in West Los
Angeles, buying all the furniture and decorating it for her when
Morgan, nearly 30, proved incompetent to do so herself. Morgan had
spent her twenties lying about attending college, spending her time
with Eddy van Halen in an attempt to eliminate Valerie from his life,
she later boasted to Melinda.
The move happened just before Melinda
had solved Craig's
IRS crisis. Craig had never filed his taxes, though he had
promised to when the couple married.
As Morgan began calling Melinda's
friends and associates Melinda's attention was on her son, Arthur
Foster, who had suffered a major brain injury on September 27, 1997
during a motorcycle accident.
The cost of having Morgan slander her
mother, find him the nastiest attorney in Santa Barbara, Jacqueline
Misho, and assist in identifying ways Melinda's inherited heart
problems were likely to kill her was $5,000 a month. Morgan's work
included conference calls on how to accomplish this which included
Craig Franklin's son
from his first marriage, Jonathan
Scott Franklin, Michael
Emerling Cloud, and others, the coordinated effort including
O'Dowd.
The best means was to increase her
stress. Misho was great for stress, as John
Cleese would learn years later.
In mid-March of 1998 Morgan received a
one time payment of $10,000 from Franklin to pretend to need a heart
transplant after her brother, Arthur, shot himself through the brain,
depressed over his first brain injury and then Franklin's rejection
of their relationship. She called Melinda at the hospital to ask for
her brother's heart.
Franklin was angry Arthur had lived
because he was afraid he would have to pay support for him. This,
and the groups carefully orchestrated ploys had failed to kill
Melinda, despite multiple attempts.
Added to this, Morgan refused to have
sex with him. In 2001 Craig sued Morgan to get his money back
claiming it was a loan. These Court
Documents are NOT boring at all.
Melinda had stopped talking to Morgan
around April of 1998 because these activities had come to her notice
through discovery during the divorce.
Morgan's relationship with her then boy
friend Eugene Volokh, the UCLA professor of law who originated the
Monica Lewinsky Strategy for Kenneth Star, ended when he dumped her
in September of 1998. Eugene had everything Morgan wanted in a
husband. Money. Morgan was sure John Fund also had money. How Morgan
managed to start a relationship with Volokh comes later.
When their relationship began Fund told
Morgan they needed to keep it quiet – for a while because he was
being threatened by Bill and Hillary Clinton. He enlarges on this
theme on The Tape.
In March, 1999 Melinda heard a rumor
Morgan was in sexual relationship with Morgan so she called Fund to
ask if this was true. Fund lied, telling Melinda he was in a serious
relationship with a woman attorney and they were getting married. He
had agreed to feed her cat, Cinnamon, for her while she was out of
town, he added. Feeling no need to warn Fund since the rumor was not
true Melinda congratulated him and ended the call, saying she would
send him an article. Inadvertently, she added him to the short list
of people to whom she sent her poetry.
At the time Morgan was in California
aborting Fund's baby and Fund was romancing another woman. Abortion

The phone machine on which The Tape was
made.........
JOHN FUND: You shouldn't have told her,
and you kept telling her, and telling her, and telling her and you
kept digging yourself in deeper and Morgan the one thing I can't
understand is you obviously told her within days of Colorado where we
were discussing a dinner. And I got glimmerings, I didn't open all of
my e-mails but I got glimmerings of that pretty quickly, little
clues, her e-mails were changing tones. You told her within days, you
didn't wait very long and the irony is if you thought I was punishing
you, it might not have been punishment forever but what did you chose
to do you chose to lash back at me and you chose to go …
John is on Melinda's poetry list
getting poems every couple of days, none of them related to him. But
he is paranoid. Also, the rumor Melinda heard came through Morgan to
another of Melinda's daughters who doubted it was true. Rumors
included having a relationship with Fund, going to New Orleans with
him, and getting pregnant. It was the mounting number of rumors
which caused her to call and ask Fund directly just to be certain.
MORGAN: (AT A HIGH PITCHED VOICE ALMOST
ANGRY) You're not lashed back at!!!
I mean all I have to do is tell her to
shut up and she'll shut up.
A life time of experience had taught
Morgan her mother was far, far too forgiving and easy to con.
JOHN FUND: Morgan ...(SHORT PAUSE)
Within days of Colorado you told her.
MORGAN: Yeah, I was pretty hurt by your
behavior there.
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Well coming from someone who
asks what they can do to make it up to me that's seems to be a little
incongruous. Making it up to me did not include going out and lashing
out and telling her...
MORGAN: Lashing out at you is not
telling my mother, is not lying to my mother when she confronts me on
something.
Melinda was perfectly satisfied with
Fund's denial in March. She knew Morgan lied but was about to find
out Fund was equally untruthful and devious.
JOHN FUND: She was bluffing.
MORGAN: She was not bluffing. She had
it from Craig. (THERE IS A PAUSE) I knew she had it from Craig.
Melinda and Craig had no
communications after Arthur shot himself. The little get together
between Morgan, Fund and Franklin in NY had resulted in other fall
out but Melinda did not know about this. Yet.
JOHN FUND: She had a one-night stand
from Craig, she had nothing else.
MORGAN: WHAT!!!!
JOHN FUND: You told Craig.
MORGAN: What do you mean, I mean.
MORGAN: That Craig would confirm that I
had a relationship with you. Is that odd? (SHORT PAUSE) I'm not the
one who picked up the phone in the hotel room John, that was
you.
JOHN FUND: I accept responsibility for
that. (SHORT PAUSE) Look Morgan you've done your damage and (PAUSE)
and go ahead and do what you want to me. I've got a long list of
things to anticipate and I am fully expecting that some of it may
happen but I think it is very short sighted and very spiteful of you
if you do it.
Notice how focused John is on
himself, his needs and how important he is. Morgan is up against the
big league in ego here along with the NeoCon-honed training
and philosophy supplied by Leo Strauss.
MORGAN: Look, I just told you I wasn't
going to do anything. How many times do I have to..
JOHN FUND: You also told me you would
never tell on .. (THERE'S A BEEP IN TAPE) and you managed to.
MORGAN: (SHE SIGHS) Yeah after you
treated me really badly, John.
JOHN FUND: No. You come up with an
explanation of New Orleans and how that came out. You come up
with an explanation of New Orleans that is credible
MORGAN: Are you seriously telling me
that she knew the hotel room?
JOHN FUND: Come up with an explanation
from New Orleans. Come up with one.
You can't.
Melinda did not mention the New
Orleans rumor in her conversation with Fund. It seemed to far
fetched to her and there was no point after Fund's initial denial.
(THERE IS A SHORT PAUSE)
MORGAN: Yeah, I probably could.
JOHN FUND: No you can't. Not one that
is credible (THERE IS A PAUSE) You can't.. So we are back to square
one.
MORGAN: No, No we are not because now I
know that you basically were just using me Because you just told me
there was obviously there was no way the relationship could come out
so it was obviously it was going to be a quiet relationship (PAUSE)
and you would deny me completely.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: You think I was .. You think
I wanted. You think I wanted your mother to know?
If it was more than just sex, if he
wanted a relationship with Morgan, Melinda would have eventually
heard about it. But she would have been relieved to know someone else
was supporting Morgan, having tired of this long since.
MORGAN: (SIGHED)
(THERE IS SHORT PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Morgan, what are we talking
about, we had this conversation in New York City. (THERE IS ANOTHER
PAUSE) What are you talking about?
MORGAN: What that, that, I mean for
honestly what you are telling me here..
JOHN FUND: Morgan, did the relationship
change after February/March, the answer is yes. It changed for two
reasons. One that it was extremely unset about what had happened, our
joint responsibility and and was extremely upset because it became
clear to me that things were known to her. (LONG PAUSE) I thought I
could deal with it and I didn't and if you want to call that being
using you no, the answer is no.
John's paranoia evidently became
hostility toward Morgan. Melinda was busy trying to control her heart
irregularity, caring for Arthur and her other son and going through a
hellish divorce.
MORGAN: But John you didn't...
JOHN FUND: I took, I took you to a
play, I took you to a movie, I tried, I tried get, I tried to make
things better and it didn't get any better. I was still seething. So
finally I decided to tell you why I was angry with you. If you want
to believe I was using you go ahead and believe it. I don't think so
and I don't know so. (THERE IS A LONG PAUSE) If you choose to believe
that, that is your business.
MORGAN: John, if the relationship could
never come out what is the point of it. (THERE IS A LONG PAUSE) I
have never in my life been treated like a dirty secret.
And now Fund shares his fantasy
about Melinda stalking him, though this certainly surprised her when
she learned about it.
JOHN FUND: You know the reason. We had
this discussion at the beginning, if you don't remember the
discussion we had at the beginning then were dealing with two
separate stages of reality.
MORGAN: I know you told me you wanted
to keep it quiet and I thought that was for a while, I didn't know
that was permanently.
JOHN FUND: Well guess what?
MORGAN: It was permanent?
JOHN FUND: No! No! By February or March
I already knew that it hadn't been kept quiet.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
MORGAN: How?
JOHN FUND: That one e-mail I will be
willing to share with you. That one e-mail I will be willing to share
with you.
MORGAN: Then what does it say?
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: It has enough of the details
that I knew that someone had talked.
MORGAN: Was it from her?
JOHN FUND: No, it was from the man on
the moon.
Melinda would also like to see this
email.
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
MORGAN: Very funny. (THERE IS A PAUSE)
That's impossible.
JOHN FUND: Well it happened. (THERE IS
A LONG PAUSE)
MORGAN: Alright. I want you to show it
to me.
JOHN FUND: Fine, But things changed
after that. Do you understand why?
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE) Do you
understand why?
You can't show someone something
that does not exist.
MORGAN: I can understand why and I
really wished you had discussed it with me.
JOHN FUND: I should've and I told you
that in Colorado.
'Colorado' is the Dark Ages Weekend
put on by David Horowitz. Morgan went with Craig, most likely, as
she could not have paid for it herself at that point. Craig wanted
her to introduce him to women. While she was there Morgan spent a
lot of time with Manny Klausner and his wife, who Melinda had known
for years while active in the Libertarian Party. Morgan probably
confided in them, as she would have thought they might help her with
Fund. Fund seems to have given her the cold shoulder then unloaded
on her the idea Melinda had it in for him. He should have asked to
be taken off the poetry list.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
MORGAN: So when do you want to show it
to me.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Well I just that depends on
whether or not I get threatened again immediately which Robert
should put me into a defensive crouch. If I don't get threatened
immediately I won't try to do it sooner rather than later. If I get
threatened..
MORGAN: Why would you think she is
threatening you? This is what I don't get.
JOHN FUND: She is threatening me.
MORGAN: What did she say?
JOHN FUND: She is threatening me!
Melinda was oblivious to this drama
in the summer of 1999, busy with her sons, getting ready for the
second phase of the trial and coping with the fact Craig was not
paying the court ordered support.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
MORGAN: Well obviously you are worried
about her threats.
JOHN FUND: No, I am not worried about
her because no one have ever done that successfully.
He was worried about what his
fevered imaginatings of what Melinda might do. He did not know the
state of Melinda's relationship with Morgan.
MORGAN: What?
JOHN FUND: Threaten me.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
MORGAN: What! This has come up before?
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
You can almost hear Fund thinking up
something to change the direction of the conversation. What he was
afraid of was that Melinda would tell people he was having sex with
Morgan, simple as that. He knew this could cause him major trouble
because he was up for a job as a speech writer for Bush, if he was
elected, which he was. The campaign team was being careful to
distance themselves from people who were involved in scandals.
JOHN FUND: I have spent the last six
years being threaten by the Clinton administration.
Drudging up the Clintons was the ace
in his hand. But the nasty attacks had been carried out by Fund.
Melinda knew this because from the time Clinton was elected he called
me regularly to tell me scandalous stories which he had fabricated.
Melinda had stopped trusting him with the Black Love Child and trying
to Kill the child's mother story around 1994.
MORGAN: Sighs.
JOHN FUND: I know all about threats.
They've come after me, they've audited my taxes, they've tried to
besmirch my reputation, they've have tried to attack my character.
MORGAN: Why did they do that?
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Guess.
MORGAN: Well, it's not over that Sid
Vicious stuff, is it?
This was during the time Blumenthal
was wondering if Fund had had a part in the phony story about Sid
beating his wife. Fund and Drudge had put the story together one
night, gloating the whole time. Later, Fund got drunk while with
Morgan and spilled the beans.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Look Morgan, (THERE IS A
LONG PAUSE) Am I worried about threats? No. Am I upset that I am
threatened? Yes. I'm always threatened, I've been threatened for the
last six years from these turkeys in the Clinton administration. I
can deal with other people who want to threaten.
MORGAN: Well then...
JOHN FUND: But that doesn't make me
happy.
MORGAN: Well let me ask you something.
If you're worried about these threats and you're worried about things
happening.
JOHN FUND: There is a difference
between being worried and being upset.
MORGAN: Okay. If you're upset about
these threats and you certainly don't want to be threaten anymore
which I take it is the case. Why in the world did you set yourself up
for something like this? If I was just to be this dirty secret. I
mean . Please.
Notice that it is all about Fund.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: I didn't think you would go
to this level. I really didn't expect that of you. (THERE IS A LONG
PAUSE) And with the days of Colorado you didn't wait very long, you
waited, you waited barely three or four days, barely three or four
days.
And now they get into Morgan's
shocking act. Calling her mother.
MORGAN: Who am I suppose to talk to
about how I feel? I can't talk to you.<
JOHN FUND: Well guess what. From all of
your previous conversations I sure didn't expect it to be your
mother. From all of which you said about her. I sure didn't expect it
to be her.
Melinda has no idea what Morgan
could have said, except that it was a fabrication. But she would
like to know. She was not surprised. By this time she had received
several calls from friends letting her know what Morgan had told
them.
MORGAN: You really didn't think that I
would start talking to my mother again.
JOHN FUND: About this.
MORGAN: Sighs. (PAUSE) You didn't
JOHN FUND: About this.
MORGAN: No. About anything. I mean
people have fallings out with their parents all the time.
JOHN FUND: What you described was not a
falling out...
MORGAN: My mother discussed you with me
and not just with me with everybody
in my family. With Janice Vargo. (THERE
IS A PAUSE) That's a blast from the past isn't it.
Melinda said John came up in the
conversation, especially after one of his calls with fabricated
stories. Until then the conversations were not interesting enough to
mention.
JOHN FUND: Look Morgan (THERE IS A
PAUSE) I now have a better sense of why you were upset with me and
why you were angry with me. Some of it I accept and some of it I
don't. And ..
MORGAN: No you don't accept it you
just, you just think that that nothing can happen.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: What does that mean?
MORGAN: It's just that I'm a good
little girl and I'll just go away.
This is how Morgan positions
herself. No truth to it at all. Morgan never goes away, she will
not give up when she wants something, even if it kills the person she
wants it from.
JOHN FUND: No! You're .. If you want,
if you want, if you want to get mad at me and you want to threaten me
and you want to go off and do stuff to me more than you have already
done you are allowed to do that.
MORGAN: More than I've already done! I
haven't done anything!
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: You've got a woman
threatening me.
Melinda, a friend of Fund's since
1981, is now a woman threatening him. She hasn't made any threats
and is oblivious to this drama.
MORGAN: It's my mother!
JOHN FUND: And I'm not supposed to take
that seriously.
MORGAN: No!
JOHN FUND: I'm not suppose to take it
seriously.
MORGAN: Look. You know what my mother
wanted. (THERE IS A LONG PAUSE) She just wanted the truth from you.
She didn't care.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: I'm getting a series of
threats from her. She does not want the truth.
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
MORGAN: Sighs. What do you thinks she
wants?
Notice John making up things which
never happened.
JOHN FUND: Well I should've opened her
e-mails earlier that probably why she is escalating.
MORGAN: Yeah.
JOHN FUND: I should've opened them
earlier.
MORGAN: She, she was when I talked to
her first she was extremely upset with me. (THERE IS A PAUSE) And she
wanted to know what happened.
Actually, Melinda was not upset at
all. She did not ask because she had it on good authority no
relationship existed. Her conversation with Morgan, as far as it
got, was stilted and Melinda expressed disbelief when Morgan then
told her about her 'relationship' with Fund. Melinda told Morgan she
had talked to Fund, and was ready for more lies when she was put on
hold.
JOHN FUND: Well Morgan look. (THERE IS
A LONG PAUSE) I thought my friendship was worth something you
obviously chose it for it to be worth very little to you because
you've now got a woman threatening me.
MORGAN: No, it meant a lot to me.
It meant finding a permanent sugar
daddy, that is what it meant. She had missed with Eugene and was not
getting any younger.
JOHN FUND: Well guess what you sure
haven't showed it.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
MORGAN: And not and and not discussing
it with me letting me be alone consistently and not helping me out is
a real good show of friendship John.
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Morgan we've already gone
over (THERE IS A PAUSE) our disagreement over what happened when you
went through your emotional trauma. We've already gone over it..
Naturally, John is always justified
and Morgan is always being needy and self-indulgent.
MORGAN: When I went through it. Do you
think I'm not still in it? Do you know what I am dealing with, John?
Do you have any idea what I have gone through?
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: You have told me.
MORGAN: No, I don't think I have!
(PAUSE) AT THE SPECIFIC REQUEST OF MORGAN
A SENTENCE HAS BEEN DELETED BOTH HERE
AND ON THE TAPE. That I have serious problems. But nothing that I
can't overcome and I that I am determined to …
JOHN FUND: You have decided, you have
decided to make it worse by annihilating someone who did like you.
MORGAN: You never cared about me, if
you had you would've have maybe..what.
JOHN FUND: You choose to believe that
go ahead
MORGAN: I don't want to believe it. I
tried to..
JOHN FUND: ------believe it, that's
what you choose to believe.
The 'choose to believe' theme is how
NeoCons think. They really believe any facts can be rewritten to
support what they want to sell. This is why this tape is so
instructive. Listen to the pattern of manipulation and lack of
conscience and empathy.
MORGAN: No that's not what I choose to
believe I just looked at the facts.
JOHN FUND: Did the relationship change
in February and March?
Evasion – Redirect
MORGAN: Sighs. Yeah, I was pregnant!
JOHN FUND: No, did change, did it
change, did it change after that?
Repeat: Evasion - Redirect
MORGAN: Oh, it did change after that.
Yeah.
Success: Subject is now aligning
with his chosen path of evasion
JOHN FUND: Well guess what you now know
the god damn reason. (THERE IS A PAUSE) and it wasn't your pregnancy.
It was, it was, it was you somehow indirectly or directly managed to
violate a confidence. (THERE IS A PAUSE) It was direct specific
nature. (THERE IS A LONG PAUSE) You somehow directly or indirectly
caused that to happen. Cause it didn't come from me.
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
Now Morgan begins her own creative
writing story attempting to blame her mother.
MORGAN: Alright the only thing I can
think of when I was searching my brain,racking my brain as to how she
could have gotten the hotel room. The number and stuff? Is that I
left notes when I was Uh writing things down. I only way I think she
could have gotten is if I'm which she did have a key to my house.
.came in and looked through my stuff.
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Well that was a mistake.
MORGAN: It was a mistake to write down
where I am supposed to go.
Morgan has to think about this one,
but Fund is now in the driver's seat.
JOHN FUND: Yes. (THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
Everything changed after that.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE) Look your
experience hurt me not as much you but it hurt me too. It hurt me
deeply. And I was upset.
MORGAN: How come you didn't express it
to me?
Morgan is the real problem.
JOHN FUND: Because I did and you're not
remembering it!
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
M,ORGAN: You told me you were upset.
You didn't say...
Fund is, supposedly, a world
trotting journalist. Why would he have effective communication
skills?
JOHN FUND: Sighs. Morgan I can't have
this conversation anymore. I know
(LOUD BEEP IN TAPE)..If you chose not
to full remember it. (PAUSE) I told you how upset it made me, I told
you why it made me upset.
MORGAN; Why did it make upset? Cause
I'm not remembering it? You want tell me know.
Fund is now inserting a conversation
which never happened. First he had to rattle her so she no longer
trusted her own memories.
JOHN FUND: Jesus Christ! (PAUSE)
Sighs.I can't have a conversation with you.You choose to believe what
you want to believe, you choose to remember what you want to
remember. I cannot have a conversation with you.
(PAUSE)
MORGAN: Fine will have a conversation
later.
Now we will go into the need for
Morgan to anticipate whatever Fund wants without discussion. Check
out other NeoCon lines of reasoning. This tactic is very present.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: I told you, I told you about
my responsibility, I told you about how much life meant to me. I told
you all of that. You don't remember any of it.
(PAUSE)
MORGAN: I remember a bit of it. Yes.
Morgan thought this meant Fund did
not want her to have an abortion. No, he only wanted to be out of
the loop and free of responsibility. It was a long and convoluted
airing of emotions which Morgan turned off rapidly, not listening.
JOHN FUND: Then now you remember it,
when you didn't remember it 5 minutes ago.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
MORGAN: Well I didn't think that you
cared about the situation. I mean I know that you cared about what
was going on but I didn't see (INTERRPUTION IN TAPE) any alternative.
JOHN FUND: You never gave me one.
Certainly not after that convoluted
cover all possible contingencies monologue. Pregnant women want
clarity, not a carefully constructed rationalization about why the
pregnancy must have been by parthenogenesis.
MORGAN: I ...if you had called me back
when I told you I was gonna have an abortion and you said think this
over we have an alternative then things would have been different
John but as far ...when I left that message on your voice mail you
called me back and said is there anything I can do. Can I pay for it?
(PAUSE)
What! He gave you his sperm –
what else did you want?
JOHN FUND: Jesus Christ.
MORGAN: You never once before I got
that abortion suggested to me that there was any alternative.
JOHN FUND: I believe you'd already made
your decision.
Successful evasion, a good moment
for Fund.
MORGAN: I didn't know what to do. I was
hysterical.
JOHN FUND: You told me you already made
your decision.
MORGAN: I never,..I said that I had
made the decision to have an abortion if you had said there are
alternatives. I would have listened to you. But as far as I knew you
were just saying to me well that just fine. That's what I want. If
you had said no Morgan I have a real problem with it. Let's discuss
alternatives then things would have been different but what am I
suppose to do. I told you the situation. (PAUSE) I was moving to a
place I didn't know all alone. I'm suppose to have a baby.
This is getting to real life.
Evasive action needed.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Sighs. Look (THERE IS A LONG
PAUSE) You choose to believe the worst in me and you choose to
believe and you've got this very elaborate system where mother has
shared some of my e-mails with me including some of the things in
which I tried to deny something because I did not know at the time I
was denying something she already knew. And if you choose to take
Umbridge at that, that cover story and the other things that I came
up with to try to protect myself and protect you I thought indirectly
that's fine. I understand why you are upset and why you are mad. I
know what I said, I know what the truth was and I know what lies I
told and I know what I did. And I also know what I talked to you
about and I also know what you choose not to remember now and
obviously were are not going to have any resolution of this. You're
mad at me and I'm mad at you.
But nothing is his fault.
MORGAN: Oh, now you're mad at me I
thought you were disappointed. (THERE IS A PAUSE) We've moved
up.
She was not supposed to get
pregnant. It is her fault.
JOHN FUND: We've just moved up because
of this ridiculous conversation that you have and in which it took
me, it took me, it took me ..the ability to finally get mad for you
to confess that I wasn't completely uncaring and unfeeling about it.
It took you a long time to come up with them I had to get mad at you
to get...
Anger is a great tool for
manipulation.
MORGAN: How come you didn't tell me at
the time that you didn't want me to have an abortion?
JOHN FUND: I didn't say I didn't want
you to. I said I was willing to discuss it with you. You told me what
your decision was. And you were crying and all of that. The last
thing I was going to try to do was to talk to you about it.
Fund works just like a greased pig.
Hard to pin him down.
MORGAN: Well you know ...I was crying
in February. You could have called me back before I had the abortion.
Actually I was crying in March. You could have called me back and we
could have discussed it but you never wanted to sit down and discuss
it. I thought if you're so right to life and all this good stuff
which you did tell me you were..
What! Call her? Too much like a
real relationship.
JOHN FUND: No, no, no.Morgan, Morgan
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE) We agreed earlier that we should have had a
conversation. I never told you I was a strict right to lifer. I have
respect for life and I also make judgment calls and I also have
variations on that theme.
One wonders what Pat Robertson
thought about this variation on the theme. At this time Fund is in
the 700 Club, entirely chaste and proud of it.
MORGAN: No, I'm sorry I misspoke. You
did not tell me you were a right to lifer. Okay. You told me that you
didn't..you had respect for life. I remember that part of the
conversation. We had a discussion about it. But never once in that
discussion did you offer me an alternative. Did you say you know you
don't have to do this Morgan? You never said that. Do you agree?
JOHN FUND: I never said that. (THERE IS
A PAUSE) you also told me what your decision was unilaterally.
MORGAN: No, I told you I decided to
have an abortion cause I could not …
JOHN FUND: ...which your
decision...decision (both talking at once)
MORGAN: And you know what it was
partially your decision too because this was your kid. If you felt
that and you know ...if you took responsibility for it you could have
said think about, lets think about it. Why didn't you say that?
(PAUSE) Why didn't you offer me an alternative? Do I have to do all
the talking? (THERE IS A LONG PAUSE) You're taking someone who is
emotionally distraught over this whole thing.
JOHN FUND: I was too.
Trump Move. Her feelings do not
matter.
MORGAN: Her very first abortion.
JOHN FUND: I was too.
MORGAN: And not suggest something to me
I mean I didn't know what to do, John.
JOHN FUND: You told me you already
decided what you were going to do.
MORGAN: Well I offer that as a
suggestion because I knew..
JOHN FUND: Morgan, don't give me this
crap you told me what you were going to do.
MORGAN: I know, I called back and
told you I've decided to have an abortion and I've scheduled it. But
did you call me back and say you don't have to do this. No. It's
something we should've discussed because we're both involved.
JOHN FUND: Sighs.
No way he was going to interrupt a
successful evasion. Problem was going away and he did not even have
to pay for the abortion, just feed her cat for her.
MORGAN: And you think I needed
emotional help when I got back here and I found Orcero(TK)...Do you
know that some of the baby came out.
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: I've had an, I've had an
awful lot of details sent to me.
And these interrupted his
whole-hearted joy in the woman he was laying while Morgan was having
the abortion. More on this in later chapters.
MORGAN: On what the abortion now. Are
you serious. This must be something you just got. (THERE IS A LONG
PAUSE) Oh what ___ sent you detailing the whole thing. Is that what
happened now.
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: I am aware of what you went
through. (THERE IS A VERY LONG PAUSE) You had a decision to make
after Colorado Springs, Morgan you could've either gotten mad and
gotten even or you could've decided that maybe with time there
could've been something that would've been supportive and perhaps we
could've worked this out. And you chose to take the first course and
not the later course. And that was your decision.
Abortion talk over. On to the
important stuff, like Morgan being insensitive to him.
MORGAN: No John you were making the
rules at that point. I had no …
JOHN FUND: No, no.
MORGAN: I felt like I had no
alternative but you just give into whatever you thought was best.
JOHN FUND: No, we had a friendship that
we could've rebuilt. (PAUSE) and you chose to lash out and get back
at me. Congratulations you succeeded. I hope it makes you feel good
and I hope it gets you lots of benefits.
Pregnancy does not happen without
being more than friends.
MORGAN: What benefits? I'm not asking
for any benefits.
JOHN FUND: I hope that it gets you lots
of benefits.
John repeats himself a lot. It
worked for him in the WSJ, too.
MORGAN: I do not know what you are
saying. Because I never asked you for anything. And I certainly have
no intention of of blowing you apart. Why would I want to do that to
somebody I cared about. Huh.
JOHN FUND: Morgan, Look. (PAUSE) I
cared about and I got angry because the one thing that I asked you
for I didn't get. Which was confidence. And I didn't.
No one will ever say NeoCons are not
Confidence Men.
MORGAN: And it was never going to end.
(PAUSE) Because you and I both believe that Melinda would have a
freakfest if she found out..
JOHN FUND: (THERE IS A PAUSE) Morgan
you chose to lash out at me and get even and you succeeded and I am
now dealing with someone who is threatening me and who is saying you
are threatening me.
John should have thought this
through more thoroughly. Melinda would forgive anything but being
lied to. Stay tuned for Part II
MORGAN: Do you want me to call her off?
This was a real eye-opener for
Melinda when she finally read all the way to the end of the
transcript in 2012.
JOHN FUND: Morgan, you do whatever you
think is best because you've always done that.
MORGAN: Sighs.
JOHN FUND: I obviously don't have
sufficient credibility to ask you anything because you were clearly
mad at me, and clearly wanted to get back at me.
MORGAN; No, I am not mad at you John.
JOHN FUND: You got back at me.
Telling Melinda is clearly very
serious stuff. Now she will know he is a liar.
MORGAN: I am more..John you want to
know what I am at you. I'm not mad at you. I was never mad you. I was
hurt by you, but (PAUSE) I was never mad at you. I just wanted to
talk. And..
...get married and not have to find
a job.
JOHN FUND: I wish, I wish that I'd been
able to give you more sympathy and more emotional support after the
event. But I had a very rude surprise shortly thereafter. And that
colored most of my thinking.
MORGAN: Sighs. You know..
JOHN FUND: And we should have talked
about..
MORGAN: You know what I feel like, I
feel like I am fighting an unknown enemy because you did this to me
before. You tell me you get e-mails your not very specific so I don't
know what charges I being dealt you know. It's like if somebody
called you up and said oh but you are being charged with something in
court and they wouldn't tell you what it is. And you have no..
JOHN FUND: All I can say is this. I
know what you said about your mother her credibility and her
truthfulness. And you have chosen now to accept her credibility and
truthfulness so go live with it. Because in choosing her you are not
choosing me and my credibility and my truthfulness.
Melinda would really like to know
what was said about her. And what could she possibly have said when
she did not know anything about Fund and Morgan until after listening
to this tape? Clearly, Fund lived a very vivid fantasy life.
MORGAN: I have not made a decision.
JOHN FUND: You already have.
Yes, John, she had made a decision
and you will not be happy with the outcome. But you were the one who
failed to step up to the plate and marry her. Morgan is a
traditionalist on this point.
MORGAN: By doing what. By talking to
her in the first place. (THERE IS A PAUSE) I'm glad you're so amused.
Well, she needed the money. And
also Morgan always went to Melinda when she could not get what she
wanted. Morgan nagged Melinda for two weeks before she caved and
wrote the emails Morgan needed to get into a relationship with Eugene
Volokh. Morgan called her mother for help in making John marry her,
as it turned out.
JOHN FUND: If I weren't amused I would
be angry. I am being threatened and I'm ..a very specific list of
what you are going to do to me sent to me.
MORGAN: Would you like to tell me
what's on the list that I am supposedly threatening you with. I would
love to know.
NeoCons evade specifics whenever
possible. Americans now know the list of evasions, along with faux
facts, for instance Weapons of Mass Destruction, are endless.
JOHN FUND: No, because if you are
actually threatening me that's not exactly going to help me is it?
You have put me in a very defensive position by sharing this with
your mother and by incurring her wrath upon me, you have put me in a
very defensive position. Now I have tried maybe perhaps with
insufficient rigor or ability to try to stand in your shoes and
understand how much emotional trauma you are going through. Would you
understand what I am going through …
Melinda was not angry about the
relationship but she was to be very annoyed by Fund refusing to talk
to her. He was sorry he did that. Part II
MORGAN: Yes, I can understand that. I
know that you feel betrayed.
This there enough betrayal here yet?
(THERE IS A PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Yes I do.
MORGAN: And I want you to know that I
never meant to betray you.
But betraying her mother and being
paid to kill her evidently was not betrayal.
JOHN FUND: Well.
MORGAN: I felt like I had no
alternative, John.
You did not act like the guys in the
movies, Morgan means. John was supposed to know he was trapped. Of
course, Morgan is not much like a heroine herself. Accepting money
to ensure your brother dies is frowned on.
JOHN FUND: Well find, but you managed
to get your revenge because I am being threatened.
MORGAN: Why do you think its revenge
because she's talking to you. She's an old friend of yours.
JOHN FUND: She's not talking to me,
she's threatening me.
John really does not like poetry.
MORGAN: John you are really, I mean all
you would have to do is call her up and talk to her about it and it
would be all over.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
John may be an important NeoCon who
was paid to harass Clinton but he is scared of Melinda
JOHN FUND: I don't deal with people who
threaten me. Period end of conversation. I should've opened her
e-mails earlier I didn't. I get hundred of e-mails.
MORGAN: Well, I know you do.
But Morgan did not yet know how many
John had on a similar string.
JOHN FUND: I get hundred of e-mails.
Most of them are poems from her. I admit I open most of her poems but
not all of them....
MORGAN: She sends you those too.
JOHN FUND: She sends me tons of poems.
Morgan knew Melinda had an email
list which went to about a dozen people. Why didn't she mention
this?
MORGAN: Yeah, I know.
JOHN FUND: Well guess what a couple of
them were not poems, they were e-mails from her. And I didn't open
them and I didn't read them..
MORGAN: Because you thought they were
poems.
JOHN FUND: I thought they were poems. I
thought I could get to them eventually. (THERE IS A PAUSE) So now she
has escalated.
MORGAN: You know John she's not
escalating, she is looking out for her daughter. Have you ever
thought of that. Have you ever thought of how she must feel?
No, actually, how other people feel
is a mystery to Fund. But he does not care, anyway.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Morgan,
MORGAN: HMMMM.
(THERE IS A LONG PAUSE)
JOHN FUND: Regardless of what you did
or didn't tell anyone you made a mistake because a few days after
Colorado you decided to open this whole can of worms. And I
understand why you did it and I understand how angry you must have
been at me but it only made, but it only making matters worse.
Because I don't bear grudges forever but when I am threatened it
makes matters a whole lot worse. Because I don't respond well to
threats. (PAUSE) I just don't.
This was the first conversation
Melinda had with Morgan. Morgan lied. What else is new?
Stay Tuned for Part II and insights
into how the NeoCons pulled off the War in Iraq with the well
compensated assistance of Bill and Hillary.
