 Cold
War Warrior's Passing Leaves Questions and Prospects of Few Answers
by Jerry
Pippin
It was not
unexpected, the death of Gordon Novel, he had been very ill; but
it still came as a shock. The 74 year old Novel was still
behaving like the cold warrior he evidently had been in his
earlier life. The Bay of Pigs, The JFK Assassination, being held
by radicals in a Beirut Jail while trying to free an American
Hostage, are just a few of the scrapes that Gordon Novel,
Private Investigator had endured.
In an earlier
interview which is now part of tribute to Novel broadcast just
days after his death, Novel discussed some of the events in his
life yet from off the record conversations with him over the
years, we were aware there was much more to tell. However the
grim reaper came for Gordon in the middle of the night in a
nursing home in Los Angeles, taking him and his stories to the
other side.
Gordon was a
child of the South, he loved New Orleans, Louisiana in
particular and never really left it in spirit even though he had
been hanging out on the West Coast for many years. Born in a
show business heritage, Gordon spent his early years at Pasadena
Playhouse training for the big movie career that never happened.
His life turned out to be a real-life incarnation of your
favorite spy thriller combined with little two bit PI stories
and for those who knew him up close and personal, a man of great
social conscience that in his later years dedicated his pursuit
of free or cheap energy, which he was convinced the US
Government had back engineered from UFO crashes.
Many have
asked me if foul play was involved. It most certainly could have
been a murder but there is little evidence of that. However if
there is a suspect, it is more likely in my opinion to have been
from the corporate energy companies of the world as Gordon was
getting very close to the development of "free" energy which he
envisioned would free the world from the debt of Big Oil and
Gas. Others suspect his life long dedication to black operations
and friendship with CIA agents ended as it frequently does with
the clandestine operatives, death when usefulness is no longer
needed.
It could have
been any of those factors it simply could have been that a life
of hard living, wild women, and various stressful close
encounters with law enforcement, military types and the
underworld characters he knew took a toll and at 74, his body
had nothing more to give even though his spirit and drive was
still there in my last conversation with him.
Many of the
people on my staff over the years never could understand the
fascination I had with bad boy Gordon; but once you got past the
PI image, there was a small boy quality about him that included
thinking the best of mankind and knowing that the people he
dealt with were not the best, but rotten to the core, even
though misguided in their devotion to God and Country. Gordon
Novel was called many names but as Robert Morningstar dubbed him
in an expose on British Petroleum and the Gulf Oil spill, NOBLE
DRAGON.
As all of us
know far to well, life on this planet for humans is temporary
and it was time for Gordon to move on, leaving one to wonder if
there is an eternity for men's souls, what is happening with
Novel right now?

Gordon Novel was a fascinating man. Carried along on the
train of history, Gordon Novel had a front seat to many of the
most controversial chapters in U.S. history. From the Kennedy
assassination to Watergate, Waco and beyond, Gordon had really seen
it all. |
