COMMENT - Eric Garris and Justin decided in 2006 it was time to stop waiting for John to do something for them to pay them off for not having outed him years earlier. So, this article was produced, this being the later version from which was removed mention of John's having battered Morgan, my biological daughter, product of a my first, very short marriage to her psychopathic father, Richard Lee Barteaux. Psychopathy is inheritable, unfortunately.
I had asked Eric for help when I was struggling to get the truth out about what was happening two years before. They blew me off, even though I had been a member of the Radical Caucus and helped them on multiple occasions. I understood what was going on. Fund had more potential to be useful to them than did I at that point in time.
For the record, I have long since forgiven them. All of us are human, and make wrong choices on occasion.
I immediately responded with the article directly below theirs. Mine shows it was published on the 26th. I assume the date was changed on theirs because of their hasty removal of the domestic violence and attempt on Morgan's life.
John Fund, former editorial page editor of the Wall Street Journal and now a familiar talking head on cable gabfests, used to hang out with libertarians. He even used to claim to be one. Back in the day, he would visit the offices of Libertarian Review to chat with the editor – the late Roy A. Childs, Jr. – and anybody else who happened to be in the vicinity. Everybody thought he was a nice guy. Boy, were they wrong…
In
the early 1980s, he started working for Bob Novak and the late Rowland
Evans as a reporter, then rose through the journalistic ranks to become deputy features editor of the Wall Street Journal and a member of the editorial board. He spent much of the ’90s rolling in the muck of Monica-gate and building a career as a 100-percent-certified neocon shill. He is now a columnist for the WSJ, where his latest screed
against the admission of a former Taliban supporter to Yale appeared
alongside his attempt to smear Professor Juan Cole and torpedo that
distinguished scholar’s prospective appointment to the Yale faculty. MORE

John Fund vs the Truth: How Liberty Lost
In Justin Raimondo's article titled, John Fund vs.
the Truth, online yesterday morning at antiwar.com, Justin illuminates
the many failings of Fund, former WSJ editorial page editor and now
columnist for that increasingly questionable publication. If you examine
the publications that have been used as tools for planting opinion and
values useful to NeoCons for the past 50 years the WSJ will always be
high on the list.
In the first paragraph of his article Justin links to an article by John Connolly titled, Sex, Lies, and the Tape, from 2001 which recounts the story of Fund's involvement with my daughter, Morgan Pillsbury and includes a transcript of the tape Morgan made to persuade me that she was telling the truth about their relationship in autumn of 1999. I had refused to believe her since her own veracity had proven to be questionable. I thought I could trust John, at least personally. I also thought that both Eric Garris and Justin Raimondo were my friends. Wrong on all counts. MORE

What does Saddam Hussein's death have to do with Domestic Violence?

What does Saddam Hussein's death have to do with Domestic Violence?
In
November, 2002 I was asked, “Is
Qusay something like E-Bay?” The
query came from my now estranged daughter, Morgan Pillsbury Gell.
That November, Morgan was in hiding with a sympathetic family in
Georgia, following an attempt on her life by John Fund, her former
boy friend.
Although
Fund was employed at the Wall Street Journal as a journalist, and
served on their Editorial Board, his real job was as a political
operative for the Bush Administration, work he had begun for the Koch
brothers in 1979, while claiming to be a registered Libertarian.
Lying
to the public, manufacturing evidence, and destroying lives, was
standard practice for the NeoCons in control of the Bush W. White
House. John came into his association with them already trained. As
an operative, John Fund inserted fabricated information into public
consciousness. Protecting him was important. Protecting their
constructed scenario for the War in Iraq being sold to the public,
was even more so.
In
the years leading up to the opening of the War in Iraq ordinary
Americans still believed those in control of their government
understood their obligation to act only on the facts and act justly.
We were wrong.
This
narrative uses one story, a minor one, in the larger scheme of
things, to illustrate the ruthlessness and lack of conscience at the
core of the Bush Administration which continued with Obama. MORE
