I have just been notified that Fred "Citizen Kane" Garth, pillar of
truth, justice and responsible journalism continues to apply his
investigative talents towards ferreting out and exposing "fear and
loathing" on the Internet wherever he can find it.  Apparently, Mr.
Garth, a Central Florida publisher of such notable zines as Scuba Times
and DeepTek  has just fired a warning shot across the bow of WKPP team
member Barry Miller.   Fred has accused Barry  of "forging"  (yes you
heard it right the first time) the signature of Curt Bowen on a copied
email as well as committing other unspecified fraudulent acts.  Under
any other circumstances this would be side splitting funny if it wasn’t
for the darker ramifications of this action.

This same Mr. Garth permitted his magazine DeepTek to be used as a bully
pulpit for the dissemination of numerous inaccurate, unsubstantiated and
unverifiable remarks attributed to George Irvine. These remarks were
contained in an article which was so defamatory and potentially
actionable as to appall even the most biased of readers through its
shear negligent irresponsibility.  His "fear and loathing" story employs
the crudest methods to vilify Irvine by characterizing him as a mean
spirited and evil demon whose associates in the WKPP are no better than
mindless, brainwashed, goose stepping fascists.  

As one of the targets of this article, I hold Fred Garth personally
responsible and will not rest until he has issued a written apology to
all of the membership of WKPP.  Even the National Enquirer and the Star
exercise more journalistic accuracy and  restraint than DeepTek.  Unlike
DeepTek, the Enquirer pays out vast settlements annually to the injured
victims of it’s journalistic affronts.  Apparently, Fred Garth is using
DeepTek as a first amendment crash test dummy.  Somebody needs to
explain to him the consequences of destructive testing.

Regards,

Bill Mee
