Dear Ms. Faust,

 

I assume that only part of the reason you haven’t got back to me is that you have other priorities as well as of the opinion that with Harvard Universities coffers” overflowing” my financial contribution wouldn’t make much if any difference to your workload while of course there is the distinct possibility that you simply haven’t got to my email for a myriad of excellent reasons.

 

You would, however, be wrong in terms of both your “other priorities” and the very significant contribution I can make which would, beyond a shadow of a doubt, significantly free up your workload so that you for example could give a little more thought to the use of the words, “world we serve” in your “Statement on proposed boycott of Israeli universities” which I happen to agree with but for different reasons.

 

First let me inform you that I am a Jewish American raised in what would be considered a “conservative” Jewish household where we “kept kosher” from when I was about 8 years old, the same age that my maternal great grandmother was orphaned when a gang of marauding Cossacks galloped through her tiny village in Poland and wiped out her entire immediate family.

 

When, however, I was 13 and being “bartmizvahed” I came to the realization when looking around our synagogue that the biggest crooks in the community had the best seats in the house, closest to our rabbi, that something was very wrong first with the Jewish religion as well as the State of Israel who at the time, April 1970, was openly and actively trading weapons of war with the South African Apartheid Regime.

 

“Butt” [sic] because I was raised by a very worldly mother who taught me better than to begin a sentence with such a 4 lettered word I was very slow to judge harshly all Jewish people as well as Jewish Israelis apart from those who I felt should have “known better”, knowing most of all that there was nothing to “gained” by “speaking out”.

 

At the same time and helped by the fact that my immediate family’s closest friends were non-Jewish and the closest and most trusted Muslim, I made it my personal-business to investigate their “corruption” and no surprise it turned out no different than the corruption of the “Jewish church”.

 

But in the intervening 37 odd years I have made it my business-personal to examine in the minutest detail helped greatly by both having studied Latin which is a “subject” I understand you support being taught as well as my well above average “command of numbers”.

 

Cutting to the chase, you might not yet be aware of a Top Secret Israeli Military Intelligence report that states categorically the following:

 

Al Quaida will launch a series of attacks on the oil fields of Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia right after next summer's Olympic Games in Beijing, China which in the next instant will paralyze the United States economy.

 

Suffice to say that while I am not, nor I have I ever been a member or any official or unofficial intelligence gathering organization like the Mossad or for that matter any military whatsoever, I am in fact Israeli Special Forces trained having started my military training at the very young age of 9 when I was first “supervised” by Israeli Special Forces Commanding Officers on how to simply hold an Israeli Uzzi submachine gun, deciding however, when 15 and on a 4 month Ulpan in Israel where I excelled in both the academic and very physical military exercises to not “sign up” despite the fact that I “blew away” all the Israeli military brass seeking recruits such as myself especially when considering my immediate “Money Power” family’s close ties to the founders of Israel.

 

The fact that I did not “further my education” in Israel did not in any way, shape or form diminish the “respect” shown towards me especially as I voiced very clearly in the very precise language of Hebrew my profound “disappointment” in Israel doing “business” with the vile Apartheid Regime so very close to the 3rd Reich it wasn’t in the least bit funny since in fact the South African Apartheid Regime was nothing less than the 3rd Reich’s southern division and I would know since I was born and raised in South Africa for one week shy of my 21st birthday.

 

Were I to tell you more about who I am it would not in the least bit surprise you that this Top Secret Israeli Military Intelligence Report was “shared” with me although once you give such a report which of course Israel sees no problem “falling in to hands of the enemy” the only question of importance really is, “Why hasn’t it happened already?”

 

I have given you quite a bit to think about already but now I am going to throw in something you might not expect although at this point you might be thinking, “What the hell, you might as well tell me my pension plan is not worth the paper it is written on?”

 

You may already know that there are no Starbucks shops in Israel although it isn’t through a “lack of trying” on the part of the founder, Chairman of the Board and Chief Global Strategist of Starbucks, Howard Schultz who also happens to be Jewish.

 

Starbucks has a much smaller competitor The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf with an employee count of some 3,000 and yet this significantly smaller operation seem to be quite successful in Israel and perhaps you might think it is because Israelis “back the underdog” which I think you would agree is more of a Roman Catholic “guilt shtick” or possibly better connoisseurs of coffee than we all think and you may be right and I “concede” on both possibilities because I wouldn’t be willing to bother with doing a “marketing study” which I know how easy it is to “tweak” any study to create an outcome that “suits the agenda” and besides why waste time on such a nonsense study since I know the reasons why Starbucks do not have a single shop in Israel and it has nothing to do with the “good” or “poor” quality of their coffee but rather their business partner with “dog morals”.

 

Again, I come back to your choice of words, “world we serve” and how you have mounted a “strong opposition” to the UCU who have proposed a boycott of Israeli universities and academics.

 

Not to mention that I also know better than to “paint with a broad brush” and that applies to everything including “academics”.

 

I sincerely look forward to your prompt response so that I can then “fill you in” in terms of me also being a “facilitator” to serve most of all the next generation of children so that they can be as well informed as me when I was just 15 years of age of the very significant drawbacks of a world constantly at war and getting increasingly more brutal and ever closer to home.

I was most enlightened by his article "Dealing with China In the Coming Years".

Consequently, I am eager to make a significant contribution.

Before I disclose my name that while not a "household name" it is very well known to those at the very top of the socio-economic ladder, I want to hear directly from Mr. Terrill.
