Dear Mr. Lubove,

 

This hyperlink shows the communication I received from Wetherly Capital’s attorney Mr. Bill Jackson on April 3nd 2002 which led to my “knuckleball” on July 25th, nothing quite like mastering time, motion and space, all in the shadows, much like a great work of art.[1]

 

The Colorado River that flows through the Grand Canyon is at the heart of the evidence I have of “wron-doing” [sic] at the highest levels of the Democratic Party which includes significant disconnects within the Wetherly Capital organization, their Stanford Law School “hoss-trained” [sic] attorney, Bill Jackson, embarking on a “crucifixion” campaign against me without first getting his “arms around” a rather important meeting that took place in Wetherly Capital’s headquarters on February 8th 2002, 3 odd weeks after I was “terminated” on January 15th 2002, to mention little Mr. Jackson’s prior connections to Stor America, where Ms. Vicky Schiff, co-managing director of Wetherly Capital and I first became acquainted, the “Vicky Schiff” hyperlink containing a photo of “joint” safety deposit box which at one time contained the original agreement between Ms. Schiff and myself that had her granting me quite a “stipend” until such time as she decided to “hang up” her “boxing gloves,” never to forget that Ms. Schiff was just getting up to speed when she “ran in2” me.

 

To mention even less, of how Mr. Jackson can contend there was “no agreement” between his client-s and me yet insisting on a “release” to mention just in passing what you might think of my having been paid for a whole variety of services I performed at the direction of the Wetherly Capital principals including my not-so-cheap initial 4-hour consultation that kept Mr. Dan Weinstein from landing himself in even bigger dudu, albeit a significant discount off my current hourly rate of 300K +- per hour, which when you consider the speed of light and my ability to compute is really a bargain, agree?

 

I am well aware of a number of things beyond your average “Joe Blow” who grew up on the right side of the tracks including the importance of the rule of law to mention little of how easy it is to destroy by simply pointing out all the bad without having sum solutions for the future and hence why I will give Ms. Schiff prior to my departure for Europe this weekend one more opportunity to get “with the program” or face rather dire consequences, nothing like getting “a hit” from behind, different and apart from what happened to former Mayor of Los Angeles, Dick “Rear-ended” Riordan when from “know where” [sic] Bill Simon “piped him” at the end of the Republican primaries.

 

I received a number of interesting emails today but none more poignant than the one from a business colleague and co-executor of my estate Mr. Devin Standard, “Good luck” which could have been in reference to my email earlier in the day to the folks handling the “recall” of Governor Gray Davis.

 

There are a little more than a handful of names and not that many places helpful though in remembering things to keep a pen and paper in hand and I assume you are more adept than that Republican Senator who was at one time a presidential contender before deciding to plug Viagra, although in the commercial when he arose out of a suitcase the only thing that came to my mind was how cheap could one get in selling out one’s constituents.

 

The key to keeping up with me and of course it helps understanding as I do just a little bit of physics is to start making circles and of course if a train set handy listen to the “bells & whistles” as the train goes “back & forth” always remembering it pays to draw big and then cut things down to size without of course chopping off anyone’s “arms & legs” mindful always of those, especially within government doing their level best to serve the taxpayers knowing full well the system is rigged, government employees no different to anyone else these days dependant on a paycheck, who are, on average, no more than 4 weeks away from being out on the street.

 

I don’t know much about Julio Ramirez, the Wetherly Capital contact person for the W.E. Simon & Sons Special Situation Fund contained in the “know where” hyperlink having met Julio, I believe, just twice, the second time on our way to a Wetherly Capital board meeting and the first time when he along with the other board members were all seated with the meeting fully underway; the Chairman of Wetherly Capital’s Board, Dick Ziman just managing to lift his head asking me, “What, Mr. Pisser, do you bring to the table?” [sic].

 

My answer, “What business is it of yours?” [sic] may not have gone down all that well with Mr. Ziman who was actually rather gracious and of course he never referred to me as “The Pisser” nor for that matter would my mother’s “Charm School” teaching have allowed me so soon out of the “starting gates” to hit Mr. Ziman, a hi-ly respected member of Los Angeles’ ruling elite, “square between the Is” [sic], his position as Chairman & CEO of a New York Stock Exchange company never, however, getting in the way of me watching very carefully as his two lieutenants, Victor “Dark Matter” Coleman who Vicky Schiff thought was quite “the catch” and Andrew “Boomerang” Sobel paid homage, slavery written all over their faces.

 

Wetherly Capital’s headquarters it just so happens is located at the corporate offices of Arden Realty in the World Savings building on the corner of San Vicente and Wilshire Blvd in west Los Angeles, and of course you therefore wouldn’t be surprised to find that Arden’s “top dogs” have as the “lead dogs-bitches” of Wetherly Capital two rather pitiful characters in the form of Dan Weinstein and Vicky Schiff playing the role of co-managing directors, to mention little of Ron Burkle who although far from the richest guy in the universe has somehow managed to find his way on to your “400 rich-est” [sic].

 

It is what it is and nothing quite like having “a catcher” like Ron, different but not necessarily 6 degrees apart from Ronald “The Finagle King” Perelman who along with his attorneys knows what it is like to come under my “microscope” and of course in the interests of full disclosure I must just mention my ongoing, not all that minor dispute with my wife’s first husband Dr. JBS et al.

 

4 sum reason the answering machine turned itself on and Dr. JBS just called and left a message for the kids, the time right now 7:20PM PST and of course I include Mr. George G. Hurst Esq, Dr. JBS’ attorney in this communiqué.

 

Also included on this email in addition to the FBI is Mr. Rod Smith who on or about December 28th 2001, one day after Ms. Martha Stewart got her “short hairs” caught in a knot, presented Governor Davis with a “White Paper” that somehow must have got lost in all the shuffling that subsequently took place and of course there is Mr. Chris Keeley, a real estate agent, who amongst a number of things seems somewhat bewildered that I would include him on my emails, “simple b/c I handed out a business card” and I am assuming that “b/c” registers in a lot of minds “because” although when I first read his pitiful script I was thinking the “stone age” as in “Before the Common era.

 

Mr. Keeley has now gone ever so quiet and my hope is that he is not only feeling the positive effects of taking deep breaths but seeing the benefit of having someone like me around who more than one person has described as a “breath of fresh air,” my dog just turned around and showed me his “rear end.”

 

The individual seated with the “Gladiator Glove” in the “b/c” hyperlink is Devin Standard. Sum might argue my estate is worth far less at this time than the value of Charles Engelhard’s world wide estate butt not only is Charles Engelhard dead I have yet to call on David Gevisser, the single executor of Charles Engelhard’s world wide estate, to gather his thoughts on how he might assist me “dying the richest person in the world,” my uncle having a rather bad stutter although apparently when “under the influence” has been known to breach protocol.

 

Naturally, had Ms. Vicky Schiff just played it “up & down” as in “straight” with me then there would be every reason to believe her “blistering rise” up the corporate ladder would have made me by now without “lifting a finger” a whole lot more “cash wealthy” although I don’t quite know what I would do with say an additional $20 million or so than I am doing right now which is having a whole lot of fun, $20 million representing my 10% of the $200 million goal Ms. Vicky “Sticky” Schiff had set for herself when we were first introduced although, of course, $20 million discounted back to present day “cashflow” assuming you can in fact define the term “cashflow” may be sumwhat less than $20 million but that assumes one is able to impute a “cost of capital” i.e. with each dollar coming off the printing machines operating at break-neck speed, the true value of our dollars puts both rich and poor pretty much in the same boat, to mention little of my effectiveness in extracting Ms. Schiff from a “hole big” [sic] mess prior to joining the Big League of the Majors not to suggest that Ms. Schiff couldn’t have made it as a drum majorette albeit it a bodybuilding champion, to boot.

 

And of course my wanting to leave this planet with my teeth intact would be nice although it wouldn’t be the end of the world “Eye 4 1” as “I 4 I” would be quite happy so long as I get the vast majority of folk to go along with, The Meek WITH TEETH Shall Inherit The Earth and start helping the kids take back their world helping prevent them from turning into “diks.”

 

Just this very minute, 7:45PM PST, I got a call from my boxer friend Michael Grant who you can see in the “boxing glove” hyperlink in the second paragraph. The last time I heard from Michael was on Christmas Day last year and it so happens the last time my wife and I were in New York prior to our trip this past week was back in November 1999 when we saw Michael take on Golota and in a “come from behind” was victorious.

 

Michael is not only one of my favorite people in the world there is no one more than Marie Dion Gevisser who would like to paint Michaelin the flesh” and of course I won’t get started with Professor Aaron “BrownNose” Brown who I must also copy on this email.

 

Mr. Lubove, you exhibited quite an ability to stay on track with me as I jumped “all over the map” and of course there are few attorneys I have worked with who wouldn’t vouch for at least my ability to get them on the right path, remembering that hell is only here on earth assuming one makes the choice early on in life to play it “fast & loose” buying into a “belief system” by looking at what is happening on Wall Street, that crime pays.

 

The “exhibit” hyperlink is just of “my drawings” I handed over to Roger Hedgecock, the conservative radio talk show host with very strong linkage to folks on the far left such as King Golden Jnr. Esq. who is also copied on this email, never to forget that Roger is still holding on to my Pitching Wedge that I used to transport my dog “to & from” Peru just a few months after 911 without the dog or the club whose head was manufactured by a quasi-government 3rd World military contractor being checked by security and of course he was treated like a King; Pypeetoe perhaps, the only dog in history to have witnessed first hand a golfer at the top of Machu Picchu being given a coaching lesson by someone a lot more seasoned than me, and of course you know one of the things that is destroying our youth is heavy seasoning on top of junk food.

 

The hyperlinks contained in this email should take you on quite a “light journey”, going “back & forth”, every so often “round & about” always mindful of the ridiculous expression, “What you lose on the swings you make up for in the roundabouts” even though one of my former clients, Solly Krok, the principal behind the spectacular “rise & fall” of Epilady USA was as keen about his amusement park business as he was in building a-not-altogether insignificant pharmaceutical company, Twins Pharmaceuticals, not to be confused with The Twins, two identical female twins quite well known around the hi-flying political-business circuit of Los Angeles, one who happened to be married to California Assemblyman Mike Roos, to mention little of the incredible stories of “rear end” collisions that supposedly helped finance more than one political campaign before Indian gaming came in vogue, I have yet to see the movie “When worlds collide” what about you?

 

All said and done there is enuf in this email to keep you busy at least until I return from Europe around the middle of August and of course you have Mr. Jeffrey Krinsk’s telephone number should you feel the need to bother him with anything more than the question, “Is Mr. Gevisser credible?”

 

And of course if Jeffrey says, “No” or is in the least bit circumspect then I will have my “witch” cast a spell on him turning him once again into a speck of dust and before that takes place may I suggest you try calling Bob Kaplan of Kilsheimer and Fox who co-authored the SCAL [Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit] against Revlon Corporation et al with just a couple of hours remaining before the statute of limitations ran out; be advised though that Bob has “tie-ins” with Wetherly Capital, nothing whatsoever, however, to do with me.

 

No need, I assume, to further elaborate on the purpose of www.footsak.com or its effectiveness in holding the “feet to the fire” of those who play it “fast & loose.”

 

You must appreciate that in order to keep myself busy these past umpteen years I have played with a number of things including exploring a whole series of events both in the present as well as in the past that mite give us all a handle on what the future might hold, never really caring that much for “goodbyes”.

 

Several years back I had explored at the behest of a client of mine, Irving Cooper, who is now deceased, a number of “business opportunities” including a medical “laser scalpel” that had its origins in an entertainment company that produced laser-light shows at rock concerts and of course there are more than a handful of folks on my email list which represents a statistically valid sample of the world’s populations who think, “U rock G” and of course I know a thing or two about publicity.

 

It is rather important at this time that you revisit the article you wrote that first captured my attention believing that at least someone in the media had taken the first steps even if it wasn’t exactly “spot on” that could conceivably have more than a handful of States within the United States “at war.”

 

It didn’t, however, take me long to realize, remember I first start at the end and then work backwards, that you had missed the boat with your ending paragraph that began, “Good Luck…”

 

At the current time the Republican led Federal government is up “shits creek” failing to grasp how they have been hoodwinked by the Democrats and as a result are now “striking out” in a manner that can not only hurt them in the long run but empower the folks like the MWD as in all powerful Metropolitan Water District.

 

Both the Secretary of Interior, Gale Norton, and Assistant Secretary, Bennet Raley, have demonstrated a rampant disregard of property rights and secondly, unprecedented disregard for State law and if you consider the traditional view of Republicans this conduct is astonishing, the Clinton Administration showing, incredibly, a much greater appreciation of property rights and the role of State Law specifically as it applies to water related issues.

 

The winner in all this will be the MWD who helped get Governor Davis elected. By disregarding property rights the Republicans are jeopardizing the support of agriculture throughout the state and agriculture as you know has been the Republican base, Davis won the coast until you get down to San Diego County and of course then there is the IID as in Imperial Irrigation District.

 

Between screwing San Diego and taking an “anti agriculture” stance the Republican Administration is going after the areas where Bill “Stooge” Simon somehow managed to carry albeit forgetting the “water card” which he had in his back pocket although this quasi-idiot probably doesn’t even know how to put his pants on without guidance from the Wetherly Capital folks.

 

By playing “tit 4 tat” the Republicans are in the process of “getting back at the Democrats” sacrificing their fundamental values.

 

In a nutshell, the Republicans know they were “had” by the Democrats during the recent California Gubernatorial elections but without the “smoking gun evidence” which I offered the Republican bigwigs ahead of the November elections they are reacting like a bunch of “crybabies” cutting off their noses “to spite their faces” a phrase which I understand doesn’t really translate that well into French.

 

That last hyperlink shows a series of emails between myself and a high ranking “paper shuffler” for the Republican Party. Gaby Forsyth happens to be the niece of my one attorney currently “hospitalized.”

 

And of course once voters come to grips with the fact that the French conglomerate Vivendi had a role to play in the masterminding and executing of the rigging of the elections in the 6th largest economy in the world then what you have is quite a “mud bath.”

 

Now “our spot” in England is no all that far from Bath and of course my goal is for a good “house cleaning” everywhere and of course if one can afford help around the house, especially if one is a “pig” incapable of picking up yourself then why not be allowed to hire a maid or two, better yet, what sort of values does one impart to the youngsters when one is so “ill-equipped” as a youngster which is at the heart of my crusade to empower the kids to parent the parents who need the most help.

 

A lot of the things I say may come across as sumwhat silly but when one considers the high-stakes poker games that are being played by a rapacious few that will impact all future generations then if being silly helps get just a handful of folks to do the right thing then who am I to complain and certainly I see no point in arguing with people who only debate people who agree with them, agree?

 

Business is not an easy process, you have to confront people and when I mean business I mean business, never afraid of doing the right thing and letting the chips fall where they may, and I have still to learn how to make hay.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Gary S. Gevisser
