Subject: Dear Bk - I met you and your lovely wife last evening at the Pine Valley video store.

As I mentioned I believe strongly that the book I am writing, THE HISTORY OF MONEY CREATION AND ITS FUTURE!, subtitle, A Message for the President addresses in no uncertain terms the “money issues” your school faces, the result of having to be in compliance with ADA, no different to the Pine Valley video store which was well on its way to going out of business long before this latest “extortion”, simply the “final nail in the coffin”.

I do in fact “know better” than to be “long winded” and have always been able ever since I began speaking at age 3 to “Cut to the Chase”, my professional career beginning while still in high school in South Africa with a “theoretical” corporate workout-restructuring of my family’s rather large international trading conglomerate that was the “target” of a “management friendly” i.e. “shareholder hostile” takeover following my “curiosity” being peaked when my extraordinarily worldly and very business astute mother told me a “nonsense” story of how she decided to exact her “vengeance” on the crooked Managing Director of The Moshal Gevisser Group of Companies started in 1910 by my paternal grandfather by walking in to his office, apparently only calling him a “bastard”, then slapped this very small and so non-athletic man across the face and then walked out, saying not a word to anyone but me who she knew could be trusted to keep quiet.

Not to mention that my very street smart paternal grandfather who was still alive and very much alert started out as “dirt poor” as it gets, pushing a wheelbarrow on the dirt of streets of South Africa picking up unbroken bottles.

To mention little of how totally insane my mother who was very possibly the most “connected” human being in the world would had to have been to even bother with raising her voice at this small time scoundrel who we could have fired without giving him so much as a moment’s notice or better yet one penny in severance given how my paternal grandfather not only owned the “control block” of shares in this very public public corporation but loved, i.e. trusted and respected my father, the most incredible businessman backed up by my over-the-top shrewd mother, in perfect position to take over running of the company.

To mention in passing, my dad earned his fighter-bomber-pilot wings while still in his teens before going to complete 71 odd miraculous missions during World War II as an Allied Fighter-Bomber-Pilot, flying as “wingman” on several occasions to a Dr. Syd Cohen who later became squadron leader of Israel’s first squadron.

Most importantly, my paternal grandmother absolutely loved my mother’s father with whom they shared many “common interests” around the world.

Even though I know you are a Chief Financial Officer I don’t assume you know as much as I do about Wall-47th Street in Manhattan, in particular how very difficult it is to really distinguish someone by their dress let alone how quickly they can change from wearing drab outerwear to very distinguishing looking suits, bright ties, matching socks while using their command of the “sly English” to confuse the ignorant masses who are only ignorant NOT stupid.

It would be foolish for me to go on any further apart from saying that I would like to invite you as well as your wife, if you think it appropriate, to visit with me at my and my wife’s studio cliff house in Del Mar rather than at our stone home in Pine Creek just down the road from Pine Valley given how we are in the middle of getting the attic cleaned out and the Mexican-American worker we entrusted to do the job has “slackened off”, perhaps thinking that the inconvenience we are experiencing is not only not all that important to me who he thinks as many do that I have “too much time on my hands” but more importantly his “time horizon” is infinitesimally small for ever being in a position to live a lifestyle anywhere close to my and my wife’s, the result of being “habitually poor”, not only in terms of “money” but more importantly, “Poverty of Thought”.

I would be interested to know if you have seen Spielberg’s movie Munich and what you thought of it.

The cycle of violence we can all agree is getting not only more intense but spreading rapidly throughout the United States and which can only be addressed in my humble but seasoned opinion by not “playing ostrich” and very quickly educating our kids about the extraordinary lucrative business of “Money Creation” a subject matter that again has never, not once been taught in any school or university anywhere in the world including the London School of Economics which I did not attend.

May I suggest that before replying you take a brief look at Hollywood blockbuster author Edward Jay Epstein’s INTERNET ONLY, most fascinating book, THE DIAMOND INVENTION beginning with Chapter 9, DIAMONDS FOR HITLER, subtitle THE SECRET WAR REPORT OF THE OSS.

I look forward to hearing from you.
