This just keeps getting better!
Whoa! Maybe she's pimping her father for money on behalf of the cult.
Could it be to discredit her enough so no one will publish her book?
Ah the snakes hissing at each other!!!!
The last comment in the article is priceless.....

...'In 2002, J. Todd Foster was in discussions with the Felt family while preparing a magazine story on Deep Throat's identity. The former freelance journalist wrote about it this week for The News Virginian in Waynesboro, Va., where he serves as managing editor:
Ultimately the story died because of money. The Felt family and their attorney wanted a lot of money, and People magazine -- with my blessing -- backed away in what would have been a case of "checkbook journalism." Reputable news organizations don't pay a penny for news.
In an e-mail this morning, Foster told me the subject of Adidam never came up with the Felts: "My partner dealt with Joan, and she didn't mention it to him either. Money was a prime motivator, but mostly for her son's law school bills." '
Well I'll be damned.
You couldn't invent a story better than this entire fiasco.

More insanity from the left.
Hmm. Who is the real 'Deep Throat' in that family?
Ludi is a West Indian board game played in places like Jamaica, Trinidad, etc.
Interesting.
Listing is not enough. Anybody can list ANYone.
If I was a cult and trying to cultivate legitimacy, it would be very easy to include a few "respectable" names in the rolodex.
Is in not par for the course, BTW, for the cults to seek out the children of the influential? Seems the number two at the FBI would be a good porson to have leverage upon.
While Felt rose through the ranks, his daughter, Joan, became decidedly anti-Establishment. As Joan's lifestyle changed, her father quietly but strongly disapproved, telling her that she and her peers reminded him of radical Weather Underground members—a faction he happened to be in the process of hunting down. Joan cut off contact with her parents for a time (she has been reconciled with her dad for more than 25 years now), retreating to a commune where, with a movie camera rolling, she gave birth to her first son, Ludi (Nick's brother, now called Will), a scene used in the 1974 documentary The Birth of Ludi. On one occasion her parents arrived at Joan's farm for a visit, only to find her and a friend sitting naked in the sun, breast-feeding their babies.
Joan's brother, Mark junior, a commercial pilot and retired air-force lieutenant colonel, says that at that stage their father was utterly absorbed in his work. "By the time he'd got to Washington," Mark recalls, "he worked six days a week, got home, had dinner, and went to bed. He believed in the F.B.I. more than anything else he believed in in his life." For a time, Mark says, his dad also served as an unpaid technical adviser to the popular 60s TV program The F.B.I., occasionally going onto the set with Efrem Zimbalist Jr., who played an agent with responsibilities similar to Felt's. "He was a cool character," says the younger Felt, "willing to take risks and go outside of the rule book to get the job done."

No wonder she's after a boatload of money. "Al-Di-La" has given the orders.
And this cult's Web site went up... how many years ago?
Felt and his wife, Audrey, who died in 1984, had two children, Joan (born circa 1944) and Mark. Joan, who had earned two degrees from Stanford University and won a Fulbright Scholarship, in the 1970s joined a commune and, according the Vanity Fair article by John D. O'Connor revealing Felt's secret, gave birth to her son on camera for a documentary, The Birth of Ludi. Joan had three sons, Will (aka Ludi) Felt "(born 1974); Robbie Jones (born circa 1979); and Nick Jones (born circa 1981). Nick Jones was a schoolmate of O'Connor's daughter and they met at a party. Joan teaches Spanish at Sonoma State University and Santa Rosa Junior College.
Joan Felt has never been married.
And, how long ago did Watergate happen?
Could this get any funnier!
just more "investigative journalism" (a.k.a.- chasing after a buck)
