Hi All, first let me apologize if I've put this in the wrong spot. I should also hasten to add that it's not my intent to cause any drama.
I've been thinking about this subject a long time and have been wanting to tell someone this hypothesis. This is the one forum on the net that seems most open to truth about the "Skunkman", so I came here. I will just make this one post then be gone. I hope admins and mods will leave it up, after moving to the right location and/or locking if felt necessary. Hopefully everyone will be on their best behavior and not cause any problems in the thread. I've been lurking here for many years and it's a good group of people here.
So without further ado: I think David Watson may be a descendent of Thomas Watson, Sr, who founded IBM Corp. He could potentially be a grandson or great grandson.
I'm having trouble digging up solid evidence to support this conclusion. I don't have the resources to do any deep research into this, and I'm only putting this out there in case it's the missing link for some other researcher who is trying to figure this guy out. It's more of a hunch than anything, but I'm pretty well researched in a lot of areas, and it has happened before that my rough guess turned out to be better than some people's proven facts; so I'm going ahead and posting this anyway despite some uncertainty.
One major clue that lead my thinking in this direction was a post Watson made many years ago. He told about the time when, as a little boy, his mother brought him over to a famous sci-fi author's house to spend the day. I tried to find the post but it seems to have vanished; can anyone find it? I had remembered the author in question to be Asimov but it probably was Heinlein, as Heinlein was actually living in California, whereas Asimov was in New York. (But then again, the IBM Watsons were from New York also...) Watson said he got to spend the whole day with the guy, which made a big impression on him as a kid.
How many of you have had your mother bring you over to a famous scifi author's house, where you got to spend a whole day as a young man? Sounds like the kind of special privilege only a wealthy kid gets to enjoy.
One interesting characteristic about Watson is his very haughty "stick up his ass" way of speaking. You'll notice for example that he never uses contractions. Instead of "don't" or "can't" he says "do not" or "can not", for example. I don't believe this is a personal quirk, but a product of how he was raised. One can easily imagine him being brought up in a wealthy and privileged household where using contractions was looked down upon as being a sign of a "low class" upbringing. In general, he just has a very haughty, arrogant, nose in the air, way better than you, narcissistic attitude, which leads me to envision him being the offspring of some family with a lot of money and privilege. I don't happen to know of any other Watson family than the IBM Watsons who might fit this criteria.
It also makes sense from the standpoint of, who would US LEO hire for the role of "Skunkman"? They generally pick sons and daughters of wealthy and privileged families for these sorts of important roles. Just like Bill Gates for example playing the role of Microsoft founder, or Elon Musk playing the role of Tesla/SpaceX guy. Or Jeff Bezos, whose grandfather Lawrence Preston Gise was a big shot at DARPA who essentially was a founder of the internet, so his son got to play Amazon founder. The average man on the street doesn't get picked for these gigs.
You've heard of "standing in your father's shadow"; try living in your grandfather or great grandfather's shadow. Imagine coming from a family like that, always hearing what an amazing and successful guy your grandfather was, always being compared to him and feeling inferior as a lowly trust fund kid. That's the sort of scenario that tends to birth a hardcore narcissist like Watson.
Needless to say, his involvement with DEA, GW Pharm, and so many other disreputable characters at the center of the plot to steal cannabis from the general public really tells the full story about the guy. Not an accident he was shilling for Phylos, for example, then playing it off afterward like he got taken in also. (Right.)
Sorry I can't offer anything more substantial, but maybe this will be a clue that leads someone else in the right direction. Hope this sparks an interesting discussion.
