I love the media. Don’t you.
Charlie provided a link about the fallout surrounding David Hoffman in which Hoffman wrote that he called Oklahoma County District Attorney Bob Macy a "two-faced liar" on local television.
In the Washington Times story that follows Hoffman’s appalling chronology of misrepresentation and abuse of the legal process, the WT journalist states that Hoffman called Macy a “two-faced coward”.
When a newspaper writing an article suporting Mr. Hoffman’s contentions cannot accurately report is exact words but rather modify them so as not to fall foul of the law, what chance do we have.
Charlie, I have not read Hoffman’s book for a decade or more, although I was in touch with him just prior to his publishing of it and he sent me a copy. So a question please. Can you remind me what David Hoffman said about Strassmeir (failing memory is a real bugger, eh).
It was a London based good friend of David Hoffman - a former well known guitarist in a well rock known band - who contacted me with the story that Strassmeir was hiding in the house of a senior policeman in Ireland (possibly Northern rather than Southern Ireland - I can’t recall now). I organized a meeting for Mr. Guitarist (a lovely guy btw) to meet a TV documentary filmmaker in the hope that a programme commission could be organized so that Roger and I could travel to Ireland to doorstep the policeman and track down Strassmeir. Sadly, we were unable to make a strong enough case to generate a commission (not for want of trying but TV land just doesn’t do investigative reporting of any real substance anymore).
It later came out (or was alleged anyway) that Strassmeir was the son of a very well placed German politician and that he, Andreas Strassmeir was a German intelligence agent/asset. It was even stated in one post I have seen that Daddy Strassmeir used to be a familiar of the OSS station in Berlin and Frankfurt immediately following the end of WWII. I don’t know how accurate this report is, but I’m going to link it here:

I knew and liked Brian Quig - a nice, genuine guy - who posted the above message, and have no reason to doubt his truthfulness. In 2003, he died in a car accident that some of his friends believed was a hit. I have no idea about the accuracy of this assertion. Personally, I doubt this was the case. Car accidents do happen. But who really knows.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
