Today, Yom
Kippur, whether or not you read what I wrote earlier about using your “imagination
to feel what it is like having someone come up to you from behind and before
slitting your throat tease the back of your neck with the point of the
knife”
did you give any thought to Daniel
Lewin, born in Denver, Colorado and raised in Jerusalem, Israel,
where he served in Sayeret Matkal,
a counter-terrorism unit of the Israeli Defense Forces, Lewin very possibly the
first victim of 911 by way of “throat slit” on American Airlines
flight 11, the first passenger airline to fly into the World Trade Center.
You would
also possibly remember even though we only got introduced a couple of years
later that on December 1st 2000 in remembering the 27th
anniversary of the death of
Before I “cut
and paste” what I sent Randall bear in mind just “tTOo” [sic] things:
First, on December 1st 2000
AKAMAI’s share price closed the day at $27 even.
Second, on September 7th, the
last day of trading before 911 its share price closed at $3.20.
My
“$64,000” question is not whether my communications let to the precipitous
decline in the share price given how AKAMAI’s share price had already collapsed
from its high of $400 some 12 months earlier in January 2000 soon after it went
public.
Rather I am
most interested in your “take” with the words, “Illegal is Illegal” followed by, “THE UNITED STATES IS RAMPANT WITH PEOPLE WHO BELONG IN OTHER
COUNTRIES.
Such “call to arms” is not only getting
louder but is supported by a very significant number of American citizens who
consider themselves “strong supporters” of President
George W. Bush who happens to be on this issue very closely allied with his
ardent critics such as Senators Ted Kennedy and Feinstein, forgot the fatsos
first name, and besides it is late and I have a big day tomorrow.
Before you read once again what I sent Randall Kaplan
who By The Way did not show up
at my New Beginnings Party where the honored guests were Sebastian and
Marguerite Capella and my one mentor Amos P. Wright,
what may help you not only decide to respond in a timely manner but to let me
know how SIGNIFICANTLY your outlook
has “changed”
to the point that I wont “recognize” any of the “old
Adam” in the “New Adam” are “tTOo” [sic] things:
First, you should now FULLY UNDERSTAND why someone so very
Second, when you have an industry as
powerful as the insurance industry making its own laws and then you have above
them the DeBeers-Anglo American Cartel, the
mafia of mafia, special interest of special interest group the world has ever
known being allowed for now more than 100 years to produce at essentially no
cost its own currency that is used to buy off politicians around the world
without a trace what exactly does it mean to you when you talk about you having
a “moral
compass” when you KNOW PERFECTLY
WELL that there is something rather sinister, repugnant, horrible, awful,
vomit like, puke, butterflies in your stomach, smelling the gas now pouring in
to the showers and as you take a very deep breath you smell the burnt flesh of your
thin cousin coming out of the ovens of Auschwitz but nothing can distract you
from this time forth of the hollow words, “Illegal
is Illegal”.

Dear
Randall,
Today is the 27th anniversary of Ben Gurion’s
death.
I am using this occasion, this last “unsolicited” email to
reach out to you and anyone else who wants to come and partake in what I hope,
will be one great party to celebrate “New Beginnings.” Randall, before you
decide to simply hit the delete button or summon Larry, just think about this
one other crazy thought of mine.
How many other known species out there including those
which are now extinct, know how to party?
Many like to have fun nearly all the time, my dog Maggie
is one example although she on occasion can get grumpy when we humans do dumb
things; just like the lady who works at the market who decided as she was
leaving the other night to share her “goodies” with Maggie, thinking that just
because she also has a chocolate Lab my dog would recognize her distinctive
chops.
Trust me when I tell you this dog lover will think twice
before even giving her own choc Lab “tongue” again.
In fact, I often surf the shore breaks here in
Again, rarely do I even voice a sound. In fact, there have
been occasions when they would lead the way and “kick out” letting me know I
shouldn’t try any heroics. There have been times when I have not been so in
tune and I have bumps, bruises and even a broken nose to show for all my
intelligence.
Of course, there are many other species who communicate
better than we do and yet m
Yes, Randall, just think about this Party “bit” that makes
us all so unique; how we, peoples of all different shakes, skin tones, and
dialects can just come together, have fun, get connected, then go our merry
ways, having bothered no one other than perhaps an uninvited neighbor or a
local law enforcement officer.
Do you think the anthropologists missed this one?
We shouldn’t, however, be too harsh on these professors
for have you ever met an anthropologist at a party?
If you know one bring him or her along. If they belong to
UCSD faculty be even more encouraging.
Click right on to the Party Invitation – Addendum IX; but
of course, you still have the “Larry option”.
Remember though, there may be several hundred others who may decide between now
and December 9th to read every “bit” of email going back to the year dot in
determining whether what all I have said is also “nutty.” For the real “Knotty”
stuff click on Building Blocks – Addendum XII or the Knotty Jews – Addendum VIII.
Randall, anyone who has ever worked with me knows how
strongly I feel about wasting time – that we can always make money but never
can we make up for lost time.
So why all of a sudden would I break so sacred a rule?
How crazy could I have actually gotten that I would be
sending you and others unsolicited emails?
Or was I simply borrowing a play out of my friend King
Jr.’s playbook, the one where he had the opportunity to bail out “crying”
Senator Muskie and save the world from Richard and Henry back in 1972 by acting
crazy -- of course, it was a badly executed play, actually he failed to execute
period.
Before you decided to lash out at me, you could have
thought it through a little more, perhaps asked Trevor a few more questions,
although as you know Trevor has this crazy idea that “if you want to embrace a
cause you have to endear people to it.” [See “Nutty” Trevor -- Addendum I.]
Randall, you were not the only person to have received the
FOOTSAK
“business plan.”
There was one other individual.
“Kahuna” also happened to buy the beach cottage that I was
previously renting.
Like you, he made a few hundred million in his dot.com
and, like you, he also hit the lecture circuit where he and I met up.
Actually, the only spot left was a seat next to him at a
speaker’s table at a UCSD sponsored function with the former commissioner of
the FCC, Nicholas Johnson, the guest speaker – “What do you mean? How do you
know?” [I too have yet to see a merger I like.]
Kahuna and I had never met before and only weeks later
when he showed up at my place did we both realize that he was now responsible
for putting me out.
Like you, he may not have got along with every one of his
previous employers/investors.
This spot is one of the last remaining bungalows located
above the best right-break south of
Smartly, Kahuna obviously sold some of his Yahoo stock at
the right time. His actions in setting off the record pace of skyrocketing real
estate values in this area may indirectly help set a trend for all folks who
have more than they need and who wish to avoid setting up their next
generations for a fall. [see Lifetime Offering – Addendum II].
Kahuna also received his dose of emails but unlike you he
never expressed his agitation in any form, at least not to me.
Maybe he was looking at the checks from Milberg Weiss that
kept showing up at his address. For some reason these particular lawyers never
got my new address at The Cave nor, by the way, did any of those checks
get returned. My final check arrived this past week. It will
join (uncashed) all the other memorabilia on display at The Cave.
Randall, right to the point.
Kahuna, like you, never received any financial projections
with the “business plan” about information being the “prized resource.”
No one has ever seen a financial projection. No
financial projections were ever prepared.
Remember now, I am a numbers guy! [Chase Brass - One Hope
for the future – Addendum III and Leucadia National et al – A “paid for”
commercial – Addendum IV, provide a better sense of what I mean by the numbers
thing. Randal continuum – Addendum V may also help clear things up for
newcomers.] This must all now be making a little more sense to you et al.
Randall, should you wish to see more of the addendums just
email me or have Larry call. X-Mail - Addendum X which is attached to this
email is sort of like a summary which may also need a summary but I cannot
delay any longer getting this invitation out.
P.S. – Judge Cecil Margo whose son is a friend of mine
passed away last week. Judge Margo was the commander Ben Gurion chose after the
1948 War of Independence to develop the blueprints that would become the
foundation of the Israeli Air Force. The funeral started the clock on his full
comeuppance.
