the electronic revolution - William Burroughs

I have said that the real scandal of Watergate is the use made of recordings. And what is this use? Having made the recordings as described what then do they do with them?

ANSWER: THEY PLAY THEM BACK ON LOCATION.


They play these recordings back to the target himself is the target is an individual from passing cars and agents that walk by him in the street. They play these recordings back in his naborhood. Finally they play them back in subways, restaurants, air ports and other public places.


PLAYBACK is the essential ingredient.
