ABOUT MONEY...
Dear Mr. X,
My wife, Marie D. Gevisser and I are
the owners of the Seacrest Bed & Breakfast Café in Minehead, see attached.
Back in
November of last year we entered in to a 2 year lease with your former tenant
Dave Clark.
I was well
aware that he had been a tenant of
In the end
the responsibility for any “misadventure”
rests entirely on my shoulders.
Mr. Clark
who is well aware that I am not “all about money” but still chooses
to protest otherwise despite all the evidence I have provided him to support my
“point
of view”, and right now I am very relaxed in our rented studio cliff
house in Del Mar, California looking out at the most awesome unobstructed view
of the Pacific Ocean, the waves originating in China now so effortlessly making
their way to our shores, such shared energy awesomely inspiring, is failing to
live up to the terms of our agreement but his “wrongdoings” might not be
sufficient at this time to terminate that lease although I am not a lawyer and
my lawyers, Risdon Hosegood appear to be taking, at best, a “go
slow” approach although it could just be that my main solicitor is
simply getting ready to retire.
I am now
very eager to find out as much as I can about what “went down” between your
organization and Mr. Clark bearing in mind I am fully aware that you are now in
litigation.
Suffice to
say I spent a great deal of my relatively short business career – mostly
retired since my late 20s and now 50, you do the math and figure out all the
things I could have done in the interim to “get smart” - involved in “corporate
work outs-restructurings” not just here in the United States but around
the world which afforded me a greater “perspective” on how the “real world”
works beginning with the fact that many a “bad businessperson” relies heavily
on two things; first, lawyers are liars, cheats and thieves; and second,
corrupt governments to breed refugee crises in neighboring states and in the
process depress those states’ currency-economy while naturally propping up the
currencies of those economies benefiting the most from war.
Keeping
things simply but not stupid is really easy to accomplish so long as you are
not brain dead.
Not to
mention I was born, spending 21 years shy of one week in South Africa to two
rather worldly parents beginning with the fact that I had 3 elder siblings who
taught our parents to parent first and foremost by never either lying or
telling a child who has all the answers, just needing direction, “what
to do and how to do it”.
To mention
little of whether you think it would be “helpful” to conduct a worldwide poll
or to simply share the truth of a positive correlation between children who are
“rude”
to their parents and parents who think it is best to “Play God” and not always
tell their children the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
To mention
in passing it seems to me that this latest generation of children are the
rudest which of course allows each parent of a rude child to say nonsense like,
“Thank
God there are worse out there than my child who knows better!” without
bothering to examine how it is possible that a child who is born “without
sin” would “turn bad” apart
from heavily misguided and so very self-serving religious dogma, the worst
coming from academia, the new corrupt church.
It was not
long before the “suggestions” of my
extraordinarily worldly and highly literate “money aware” English
mother who immigrated from Leeds, England to South Africa in 1947 when she was
18 years of age made “perfect sense” helped of course by
my Allied Fighter-Bomber-Pilot father with some 71 odd missions “tucked under
his belt” dive-bombing the crap out of the Nazi bastards mostly over the skies
of northern Italy, who was quick to recognize, “THERE IS NOT A MAN ALIVE WHO
HAS A JOB AS TOUGH AS BEING A MOTHER!”
Not to
mention I figured out early in life there had to be more to this notion, “In
war money is no object” than it simply “sounding right”.
To mention
little of such deductive-logical reasoning coming about the result again of not
having my precise sequencing interfered with by a scoundrel over-controlling
parent blasting my ears with utter nonsense to “cover” their poor breeding like
pretty much every kid who knows no better than to master quickly the “art of
politicking” beginning by playing one parent against the other inevitably
seeing their parent putting up with the nonsense from their parents, everyone looking
for “friends”, as just another “friend” to “discard” when they are not longer
of “monetary
benefit”.
And then
when hearing repeatedly, “Loose Lips Sinks Ships” it was
inevitable that I would begin earlier than most kids to focus exclusively on, “following
the money trail” by first asking myself, rather than my “tight
lipped” Royal Mater-Mother why her father, a very successful
international trader with a million English Pounds Sterling in his “back
pocket” would choose of all the places in the world to retire while still in
his 40s the disgusting, so oppressive humid climate of Durban, South Africa
versus simply “setting up shop” at the foothills to Table Mountain in the 5
Star Mt. Nelson Hotel in Cape Town which is where my maternal grandfather and the
rest of my mother’s immediate family made up of only 4 members stayed when
first arriving in South Africa.
With all
that said, and you surely agree the photos and newspaper clippings “tell
a thousand stories”, I made it “my
business” to never be too quick to judge anyone but to let “nature
takes it course”.
knowing
full well that none of us “wins all gambles against Mother Nature”.
But of
course it is not enough to simply subscribe to “truisms” that have no “time
certain” such as “You can’t win all gambles against Mother Nature” and “What
goes around comes around with a vengeance!” which only make for “good
conversation” amongst intellectual midgets who only “talk to talk” versus those
who know don’t talk unless they have something important to say that will make
a difference to a very uncaring, desensitized world, the result simply of each
of us not able to get our arms around the truth that we who have the “most
voice” are on the side of the victors who have had the biggest gun and
certainly not the high moral ground having first stolen the land, grabbed the
water, now owning the banks.
It is all
about “how each of us plays the game, the cards we are dealt”.
How we “win”
is obviously more important than “winning” so long as there is enough
“time
remaining” to “hold accountable” those who not only usurp their limited
authority but by leading a life of selfishness, again the result of poor
parenting-breeding, inevitably justify to themselves and of course in the
process lose sight of the “big picture”, that it makes “cents” [sic] to build
in to their “cost of sales” the “cost of getting caught” and if
caught, the worst that can happen is that you get horribly butchered before dying
just once and not before the poor of the world living off the sniff of an oil
rag first fight it out amongst themselves before bothering to come knocking at
the door of those of us “expert” most of all at trickling down the costs of
getting richer on to the backs of our poor and downtrodden who are simply
misinformed and not quite suffering as horribly from “Poverty of Thought” as
those very rude children of elitists so discombobulated that they don’t have a
clue about how the “real world” works.
No surprise
that I am in the process of writing my forthcoming book, THE HISTORY OF MONEY CREATION AND ITS FUTURE, the title and
subtitle, A Message for the President courtesy of my so very creative,
precise-logically minded hard working artist painter French-Canadian wife MDG.
Suffice to
say that I am of the strong opinion that we can all find a “win-win”
situation by sharing everything we know about Mr. Clark.
My lease is
with both Mr. Clark and his “partner” LYNN
ELIZABETH WHITE who I know even less about than Mr. Clark.
It is very
possible I could end up changing my solicitors who may have “warmed up” a
little too “prematurely” to Mr. Clark’s “salesmanship”.
Should you
feel more comfortable in first talking with me please provide me with a phone
number and when would be a convenient time to call.
My
telephone numbers here in the States are cell 1-858-735-SEL-NEXT-[6398] and
1-858-481-1750.
Looking
forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely
yours,
Gary S.
