November 18 A German's view of islam"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." History seems to repeat itself. We must stand up to those that want To destroy us. We cannot be complacent on this one. Please take the time to read this. How many of us are part of the silent majority? This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of This email is Dr. Emanuel Tanay, a well-known and well-respected Psychiatrist. A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how Many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our Attitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people were true Nazis,' he Said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more Were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis Were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all Happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost Control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost Everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies Destroyed my factories.' We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims Just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may Be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to Make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra of Anatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one Of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who Systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa And are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic Wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill It Is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics Who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and s. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become Suicide bombers. The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in Peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of About 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists Managed to kill a staggering 70 million people. The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not A warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its Way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the Systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by Sword, shovel, and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it Not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'? History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all Our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated Of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their Silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they Don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken One day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their World will have begun. Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and Many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak Up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the Only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

This was sent certified and regular USPS, yesterday he called acting as if he had not received it and phising for informaiton from me. Kind of suspicious to start since he has not called me in over 5 weeks... he clearly stated on the phone he had a problem with past emails and receiving them and also had not received any letters from me. I expect truthfulness, even in the face of so many attorneys who have treated me so badly. Am I expecting too much from fellow humanhs? Jesus classifed them as a brood of vipers. In my experiences over these past two and one half years, well I have to agree. Here is a copy of the certified, which by the way, he had someone at his offices sign for yesterday!

Robert E Scott R. E. Scott and Associates 125 Business Center Drive Corona, CA 92880-6921
Mr. Scott:
Thank you for your services on my behalf related to case #2:09-bk-12221-SB and Civic Case #30-2008-00101183-CU-BT-CJC. I have now received the billings I requested of you and have begun reviewing them.
Please, immediately send me the overage that is in my trust account with you.
I also have some questions for you. Why were your sanctions taken from my trust account? The judge specifically denied the sanctions that were requested by opposing counsel as related to me personally, but granted those against you. Why were sanctions awarded against you for improper procedure, taken from my account and why was I not notified beforehand that this was going to occur?
I briefly read some parts of the court transcript related to this whole situation regarding the sanction motion and am a little discouraged that you would even hint that it was my idea to take this civil case over to the bankruptcy court, when from the moment I met you, it was your and Alan’s suggestion. I don’t even know enough about law or bankruptcy to even be able to make that suggestion!
I am also a wee bit concerned by recent calls and communications from Alan and Michael Creamer relative to them not being paid… I also shared with you in my last call about their attempted extortion and blackmail of me in their Boardroom in August. You said you would speak with them and I see on the September billings where you and Alan have spoken, but I had heard nothing back from you! When we initially met last November, you requested that funds be sent to you each month and I followed that like clockwork. Why is Alan calling me about not being paid?
I will await and appreciate your responses. My preference from here on out is that all communications between us are in writing.
Respectfully yours,
Michael Fisher October 05 The Wooden BowlThe Wooden Bowl I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now. A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth....... The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.. 'We must do something about father,' said the son. 'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.' So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up. ' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things: a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life..' I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back sometimes. I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. October 02 Another CEO screws AmericaA $125 million goodbye for Ken LewisPosted Oct 02 2009, 05:38 AM by Douglas McIntyre

  Filed under: banking, Citigroup, Bank of America, 24/7 Wall St. When Ken Lewis finally leaves Bank of America (BAC) he will get a $125 million goodbye from the financial firm, unless the federal government’s pay czar decides to challenge the package. Most of the Lewis compensation was set long before the big bank got into trouble and had to take $45 billion in TARP funds, so his employment contract may be sacrosanct. If so, he will get one of the largest severance packages in American corporate history. According to Reuters, “Lewis’ severance package includes $53.2 million in retirement benefits, mostly from a program frozen years ago, and $72.8 million in accumulated stock and other compensation, according to an analysis by consultant James F. Reda & Associates.” The question now is whether the new government pay czar, Kenneth Feinberg, may try to void the arrangement. Probably not. The Administration does not want to be seen as violating contract law. Feinberg has not challenged a $100 million bonus to Citigroup (C) commodities trader Andrew Hall, probably because the compensation was part of a written deal with the bank. Feinberg’s problem with Lewis may end up being very simple. Once the government abrogates one contract, how many more can it cancel? That raises the question of whether any compensation agreement between a large Wall St. firm and an employee will be honored. It also raises the specter that the government may not honor contracts in other parts of the business sector if companies are taking federal money for any purpose. Contract law violations would certainly be tested in the federal court system. Feinberg walks a fine line. Lewis will probably get his $125 million. Some analysts would say he deserves it. He built Bank of America into a financial giant. To a large extent, the bank’s near-collapse was as much as part of the credit crisis as it was any decisions that he made. That will not keep the public from believing that the deck is stacked against small shareholders and in the favor of rich CEOs.

September 16 Libraries set to closePhiladelphia libraries to close Oct. 2Pennsylvania's budget deadlock also means 3,000 city employees could get pink slips on Friday.Posted by Elizabeth Strott on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 10:16 AM
The City of Brotherly Love isn't showing much to book lovers.
All 54 of Philadelphia's libraries are scheduled to close because the state of Pennsylvania has not been able to pass a budget to fund the library system.
"All branch and regional library programs, including programs for children and teens, after school programs, computer classes
Pennsylvania lawmakers are still deadlocked over a proposed state budget that was supposed to have been enacted on July 1.
Gov. Ed Rendell on Monday said he would veto a legislative budget plan I guess I am supposed to feel sympathethic or empathetic relative to the libraries closing, but I cannot muster the strength. Most of us work for companies that do not have pension plans or "sweet retirement programs" and we have to make our own if possible. Some of us have had to dip into those plans to take care of the current downtrend in our individual finances. Some of us don't go to the libraries for fear of the homeless who are everywhere, even showering in the restrooms. Books, sad to say, are a thing of the past, and soon, like the typewriter, they too will be gone. Of course die hards will cry out, but society is movig on and we have to move on or get left behind. A librarian works twenty years for the library, retires and then makes an equivelent salary for the rest of his or her LONG life. They live another 35 years or so and we pay for that. Pensions need to be relaistic and people need to learn how to save on their own. Our government is way overfed for this VERY LEAN time and it is time to cut back layoff and right the ship. GO GOOGLE! Philadelphia had been banking on a 1% sales tax increase and a change in pension payment plans to help it fund library operations. If the budget does not pass within the next two weeks, the city said it will lay off all library employees.
The state budget mess could also force Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter to move forward on his so-called "Plan C" doomsday budget, beyond the closure of the libraries. Plan C would lay off 3,000 city workers, eliminate court-system funding and shut down all recreation centers. The city will send out pink slips to the 3,000 employees on Friday unless the budget passes before then.
Philadelphia's library system is the sixth-largest public library in the nation. Benjamin Franklin created its precursor, the Library Company of Philadelphia, which was the first public library in the country. September 10 WATER VERSUS WINE

Legal persnippity continuesI told my wife before I received this that this attorney would bail on me... It is a part of the legal profession I have come to detest, there is absolutely no accontability. He knows the case is close to coming to an end and he will not be able to soak me any longer, so instead of settling he is bailing. I have spoken to other attorney who say my next call should be to the bar for a formal complaint... we will see!

Re: Kruse v. Fisher-O.C.S.C. Case No. 30-2008-00101183-CU-BT-CJC Your Letter of August 28, 2009
Dear Mr. Fisher:
I got your e-mail dated August 28, 2009. On the positive side, you are a skilled writer. On the negative side, your letter reflects an extreme lack of veracity. It is also an inappropriate characterization of the legal services provided by me, Mr. Scott, and Ms. Schultz.
Your letter is so inaccurate that it is clearly time for you to engage alternate counsel. The lack of veracity with regard to me makes it unrealistic for me to continue to have confidence in any representation that you make.
I am willing to meet with you one last time, but if the issues are not resolved, then I intend to file a motion to be relieved from my duties as the attorney of record for the Estate Services Group in state court and as counsel for you in the bankruptcy case. Please resolve this matter by the close of business on September 3, 2009. In the bankruptcy case, you can represent yourself or you can be represented by Ms. Gibson. As to the Estate Services Group, I would suggest that you contact Mr. Scott and see if he is willing to represent that corporation. Otherwise, you probably can locate other counsel.
Sincerely,
Michael Creamer
RE: Kruse v. Fisher
Michael, I have asked Mr. Scott to get involved in our meeting. As to the services of Scott and Schultz, I didn't hint or mention a thing either verbally of in writing to you, relative to any unhappiness with them, again YOUR lack of veracity.
You once again shy away from what was specifically mentioned in my communication to you in attempted craftiness, legal verbose and maneuvering. You give me deadlines, but why is it you cannot muster up enough strength to get off your lethargic derrière and give deadlines to opposing counsel and get this thing closed like you should? Why is it so easy for you just to bail on me? Is that an advocate-- sincerely? Have a*´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.·´ * Wonderful day! FW: Kruse v. Fisher
Robert, for him to bail now, I would think to be the nail in the coffin for the issues I addressed in my communication to him. I respectfully submit to you that he get this closed like he should. A deadline of September 3, to me, falls under the "back alley" blackmail catagory again, when compared with the FACT that he has given NOT ONE SINGLE DEADLINE TO English, or for that matter even spoken to him! If I meet with him, it must be in your presence. Have a*´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.·´ * Wonderful day! August 28 Attorney screw job(This first part is the email to the chief attorney who is supposed to be drviing this thing)
Rob this guy has created a fantasy... He has been almost absent this whole past three months. Everything he asked me to do, I did, my wife even helping at times. Some weeks I was in there five days a week, I would do things show them to him and he would do nothing. He asked me to catalog all exhibits, I did, explaining each and every one spending over 30 hours. He did not so much as look at a single one or become familiar with them. There has not been one time I have not cooperated, even going so far as to be brow beaten by him.
In the past three months, He has been TOTALLY un-professional in his handling of my case, often times with me having to corner him why he was not meeting deadlines or responding to them. He would never return my calls until I hunted him down. He threatened before, when I questioned his work ethic and slothfulness... and told me to "suck it up and smile" or he would bail out on me and leave me high and dry. I have asked for billing statements and records related to his trust account to reflect the time he has spent and documentation and he has told me I would get it at the end of the case. He does not cooperate even with his own crew and even has to have Alan yell and scream at him (and then me) to get anything done. He is the one stallling this and dragging it out. He has been a non particpant even on the bankruptcy side passing it off to Lisa saying at that time, "I have only been paid $2500 and unless we can work something else out," you can have Lisa represent you. You said you were the driver in this case. A little over a month ago he attempted to strong arm me in his board room to paying $150,000. Then like a back alley specialist he calls three days later and says if I can pay in a lump sum, which he knows business men like me can often do, he would discount it down to $65,000. I haven't seen a single bill related to this case since it began. He says I will see it when it is over, besides ethical violations, violations of the Busines and Professions code, there are clear Bar code violations all over the place relative to his practice, attorney conduct and efforts related to this case on my behalf. We get to a posture where this thing can be closed and he bails out... His letter is totally inapproprite and filled with fabrications and mistruth. (Here is his letter...which like the pasts, he could not tell me in person or via phone there was a problem, this time he would not even send to me via his own email, he has an "assistant" who has never sent me a single communicaiton in this case send this to me... law gives em an angle to not be held accountable and to bail whenever they get their little feelings hurt, even if their feelings are not based in any sort of realtiy...)

Re: Kruse v. Fisher-O.C.S.C. Case No. 30-2008-00101183-CU-BT-CJC My Prior Correspondence to You Dated August 14, 2009
Dear Mr. Fisher:
As of the date of this letter, the following is the status of the proposed settlement of the litigation between you
1. On or about August 11, 2009, Mr. Gold sent a draft of a proposed settlement agreement. Mr. Gold was quite clear that the firm of English & Gloven had not reviewed the draft and had not provided input.
2. Any proposed changes by Mr. English have not yet been received. At the same time, Ms. Schultz sent you a letter dated August 12, 2009, in which she set forth several concerns as to why the settlement proposal is not acceptable and she copied me on that letter. I understand that you have understood her concerns and that the proposed settlement is not acceptable to you.
3. No word has been received on the position of the firm of English & Gloven or their client, but the delay is not favorable.
4. Ms. Yee has attempted to schedule a date for review of six boxes, even though there is supposed to be a stay on the case pending in the Orange County Superior Court.
In the interim, you have not addressed the financial concerns that I have repeatedly raised with you and I am growing more and more concerned that the settlement may not come together for the same reasons that you and Mrs. Kruse have been litigating for more than two years.
Beyond your unwillingness to address the financial concerns that I have raised with you, I am somewhat concerned about your lack of veracity in your prior communication with me. One example was your representation that Estate Services Group was only a fictitious business name. The office of Mr. English then produced proof that was contrary to your representation. It turned out that there was a specific California corporation formed by you with that name.
I would like to see a settlement accomplished between you and Mrs. Kruse. Given the history of litigation and your respective personalities, it is not easy to put together such a settlement. I have repeatedly tried to explain to you that there are specific facts that support your positions and those are facts that Mrs. Kruse wants to bury. If the evidence in the form of documents and details is summarized by you, then it is more likely that Mrs. Kruse will agree to a settlement. I am willing to help document and arrange the facts and the documents.
Absent clear presentation of the information that shows why Mrs. Kruse should settle this case, a settlement may slip away as more and more pleadings are filed.
Unless we can resolve the financial issues, I would like to file a motion to withdraw from further representation of you and it is my opinion that the window available to you to put together a settlement may no longer be available after sixty (60) days.
Please advise me as to how you wish to proceed. Your last communications have reflected an Alice in Wonderland quality wherein you are obviously not willing to meet your responsibilities with regard to successful closure of the litigation. Burdens will increase as the case approaches trial and a settlement proposal does not eliminate the responsibilities to effectively engage Mrs. Kruse and her counsel in a manner that would persuade them to agree to reasonable terms that would effectively close the door to further litigation. I appreciate the fact that the litigation has resulted in a heavy toll on you that has clouded your judgment, but it will not go away by virtue of an emotional response to what you consider to have been a great injustice.
Sincerely yours,
Michael Creamer

He’s gone, He’s not here now, Why do you sit and stare, What is it you wait for?
The electricity, The power, The force, The magnetism, The mystery, All have moved on.
He’s with us now, Up here. At least I hope so, He appeared to be a good man. Does that matter though? Did he know Jesus As his Redeemer?
Only God knows. Against sound reasoning- Citi's $100 million dollar manWhen you read this I hope you are as revolted as I am and will write a letter like I did. This is against sound reasoning. I have a couple of problems, number one no human on this earth is worth $100 million a year, I don't care what you do, I would buy and sell companies for that amount. Secondly, all he does is speculate on energy, and contributes absolutely NOTHING to our world, humanity and society, and lastly, how can a company that was and is BROKE, do this? This is OUR MONEY folks, speak up or one of these days we will all be their slaves!Citi's $100M man wants his check nowEnergy trader Andrew Hall's contract entitles him to a $100 million bonus. Should the company, which is partially owned by taxpayers, stiff him? By Daniel Gross, Slate.com
The controversy surrounding the bonus promised to Andrew Hall, the phenomenally successful energy trader at Phibro, a unit of Citi, is coming to a head. Hall's contract entitles him to a $100 million bonus. But in order to make good on the deal, Citigroup (C, news, msgs), which is now hugely supported and partially owned by taxpayers, must get the blessing of Kenneth Feinberg, the Solomonic attorney who administered the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund and is now the Obama administration's Wall Street pay czar. Feinberg will have to consider whether it is proper for an institution that, without substantial taxpayer support, couldn't pay $100 bonuses to pay a $100 million one.There's another question he should consider. Do Citi's shareholders benefit from owning what is, in effect, a hedge fund? Citi's management argues that it needs Phibro because it has been profitable over the last many years. The more it makes, the better off the company's shareholders -- including reluctant shareholders like us taxpayers -- will be. But the last few years have taught us that such gains don't always find their way into shareholders' pockets. August 18 I have some whacky thoughtsI am a christian as many of you know. I am born-again and also speak with tongues and have seen miracles and other things that an analytical guy like me needed to see and participate in to "seal up the deal" with the Almighty. I am not a Bible thumper, but believe it should guide all of our lives, individually and collectively. The church has responsilbities and those responsiblities are to be carried out by men (women forgive me, ol' school here, meaning I use the masculine terminology to mean humankind) who are Christians. Some of these "things" include, feeding the hungry, clothing those without, housing the homeless, visiting the prisoners, taking care of widows. There are many more, but these are just obvious and basic. I have a theory that everywhere the church fails, the government picks up, or trys to and we have the wrold running the system instead of the Spirit thru Christians. Think about it a second, we have feeding programs, social welfare programs, priosn programs, and best of all, ALL OF THEM need fixing, change! No one is better equipped than Christians thru the body to take care of the things God asked us to take care of, but we pawn it off. Four things in life you cannot recoverThere are four things that you cannot recover in life: (1) The Stone..........after it's thrown, (2) The Word.............after it's said, (3) The Occasion....after it's missed, and (4) The Time............after it's gone... August 10 Stock marketI have heard so much encouragement directed towards us from the media and government lately about us putting our money in the stock market for the best returns. First, ask the investors of General Motors who put all their money into General Motors Stock, how safe it was and how much money they made. Folks this was GENERAL MOTORS! It can happen to any company and will happen to more companies, and with the help of our government. The folks who investd in General Motors, normal folks like you and I LOST EVERTHING. America is doing what is right, that is saving in Money Markets and CD's, that is why the rates are down, all our money is pouring in there, but it is safe. Sometimes safety outways performance and this is one of those times. There are other safe guaranteed methods where you do not risk principle, yet get a good to great return and all your money is guaranteed.

William Jefferson, a Democrat who had represented parts of New Orleans, was accused of accepting more than $400,000 in bribes and seeking millions more in exchange for brokering business deals in Africa. Jefferson, Louisiana’s first black member of Congress since Reconstruction, showed no emotion as the verdicts were read. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 30. Jefferson could face 185 years in prison if convicted on the maximum for each of the guilty verdicts, but prosecutors refused to speculate on what sentence U.S. District T.S. Ellis III might impose. It took jurors five days to reach a decision after an eight-week trial. Most of the trial was government testimony. The defense wrapped up its case in a matter of hours. The defense argued that Jefferson was acting as a private business consultant in brokering the deals and that his actions did not constitute bribery under federal law. Prosecutors accused Jefferson of hiding bribes by funneling money disguised as consulting fees through sham companies controlled by his wife and brother. In one recording played by defense attorneys, Jefferson explained that he did not want his name on any of the deals to avoid an appearance of impropriety. “Congressman Jefferson has a compact with the citizens of Louisiana and the people of the United States, and he violated his trust and sold his office,” Dana Boente, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, told reporters outside the courthouse. “He used his office and his influence to enrich himself,” Boente said. “... No person, not even a congressman, is above the law.” Legally, much of the case turned on whether Jefferson's deal-brokering constituted an "official act" under federal bribery laws. Jefferson has been under investigation since March 2005. In August of that year, FBI agents searched his Washington home and found $90,000 cash in his freezer, wrapped in foil and hidden in boxes of frozen pie crust. Jefferson has disputed a claim by prosecutors that the freezer cash was bribe money. August 05 Such beautyMy wife and I have two simi-large hummingbird feeders on our patio, each having about 8 spots to drink out of. This morning while sitting in our spa, I saw more hummingbirds than I ever have come to feed. It was very beautiful and made me very thankful to see such a site. I am reminded that Jesus said the birds neither sow nor reap, yet get sufficient to eat from their Father in Heaven. Today I am thankful that my Father in Heaven knows me, my struggles, my needs, my wants and how I may best fulfill His purpose for me here on earth while I am in the flesh. Thank You! August 03 Attorneys, what would the world do without them?

Re: Kruse v. Fisher;
Dear Mr. Fisher:
I received your fax dated August 3, 2009. It is important that you understand that I am even more eager for a settlement than you are as long as the settlement is properly documented (it closes all the current and potential future litigation risks).
I understand your point about Mr. Runninger and I do not disagree with it. I only respectfully remind you that you brought Mr. Runninger into my office and otherwise, I do not know anything about him. It was your prior request to find a way for Mr. Runninger to get a judgment against NIAP. That is why time was expended in research on that matter.
The other aspect that is troubling is the statement of “I did not come up with the BK proposal…” I want to be certain that the record is clear that the decision to file a Chapter 7 petition was made by you. The implications of a Chapter 7 may impact your credit for 10 years as you have stated, but the decision to file the petition (as I understand it) had already been made by you. It was only the logistics of timing and other matters that were not decided.
Finally, I do not know what will be the outcome of the appeals process. I can only tell you that oral argument appeared to go against the positions being espoused by Mrs. Kruse. Whether or not that will result in an order of reversal is still speculative.
Hopefully, we will be able to conclude a settlement and the financial arrangements that I discussed with you. As always, I wish you the best and I will continue to work to bring about a clear and speedy settlement. I am hoping that the first draft will be received in the next 24 hours from the office of Mr. Gold.
Sincerely yours,
Michael Creamer
AND NOW MY EMAIL RESPONSE, and of course I send it knwoing I will receive nothing in return!
RE: Letter confirming my understanding of our discussions today
We can wrestle about things until the cows come home, never was it my idea to file the personal BK! I was introduced to you, Scott and Alan, and told that the BK would stop the case in its tracks. I was told Alan was a total master of the BK process, even to the extent of knowing judges personalities. He was "a machine" that would rapidly turn the case around and run the opposition into the ground by his ability to generate paper. I acknoweldge that he has accomplished this, just with a lot more time and emotion expended than I ever anticiapted. I have not needed to be a participant in the emotional uphevals like what occured today and a little over amonth ago.
I was not told or informed that there was a process within the BK courts whereby English could trash the whole automatic stay thing. Being as unknowledgeable and unfamilier with the court systems and methods as I was, I have learned a ton in this, but from my vantage point today, I can now see that I was not informed about a lot of stuff I would have appreciated being informed on. We cannot assume just because someone is smart that they understand things. Law is obviously VERY complex. In the Hummarabic code when someone brought a false accusation including criminal charges like were brought against me and DID NOT PROVE their case they were put to death-killed. Even the Mosaic code states that NO ONE should bear false witness and it carried severe punishment. The only one punished in this case has been me! You mentioned not completing the Bk process as a possibility once this settlement is finalized. I have interest in this... As to Runninger, there was an introduction, but no push to involve him in my litigation. He has been dishonest and dishonorable in his current situation of being paid a commission on a client who has passed away and refusing to pay it back thru the charge-back proceedures, which is now jeopardizing a relationship I have with a current insurance carrier. Soon as you have the settlement in hand and finalized I want to sign it and get it back to them ASAP. I realize that this will take time, Rome was not built in a day nor destroyed in a day. I am exhausted beyond your imagination or knowledge in ALL areas... emotionally, financially and intellectually. This has drawn my attention away from serving humanity and making a living. Thank you for your insight relative to what Scripture says and the thankfulness we all should have in all things we go thru whether good or bad, to the King of Kings! Respectfully yours,
Michael Fisher |
