Dear
Fifth Estate ,
We often ask in this northern
hemisphere , where are all the charismatic leaders ? The recent American
election and all too often our Canadian ones also , too well express as to what
I am talking about . None the less , I can tell you where some of the truly
charismatic loaders are - even if in this case , they have not yet surfaced .
They are being held at more than arms length
- away from the opportunity to surve , by antiquated laws , by those -
meny of whom are-more criminal than the average person on the street - who are •:.
lroaddy in government , and often - in meny cases , by those 'who morally wish
to one day be in government .
Now the story I am about to tell you ,
I hope will sound fantastic ; not that I wish to overwhelm you . I am confidant
that under the right circumstances and with little more than my personality - I
could easily do that. I do however want to put the facts on the table and might
as well start by telling you - no matter what present day laws may suggest ,
the fact remains - since I have taken great measures to see such will be the
case , by the time the next election rolls around - I will be more than in the
position to see that my namo is added to the national electoral.
ballot .
Now
I am certain you all must be wondering what it is I could possibly be talking
about , since I know nobody in your offices could have ever heard of me before
. Believe me this is of no fault of mine but a situation I believe soon will be rectified.
This story begins en the closing days of February past . That is when I
decided - if I could - I would finally launch the start of my own political career ; the career might point out , that I have
been waiting to engage myself en for ell of the pest twenty-two.(22) years - though my entrance into the political system as of yet is
incomplete end pretty much still of a secrete to the national public another
setuateteon for obvious reasons of which I soon also intend to rectify .
Again I feel that I may be loosing you
, so I will try to,be more direct . I only ask that you try to
understand , directness is somewhat difficult for me - to some extent , since I
am en artist (a writer) and getting strength to the point does seem to defeat
some of the flamboyance of the sytuatytyon I have created .
Anyway , directness et is , so , I can
confidently say to you that the reason our Mess Oprah Winfrey has a magazine ,
is for no other then the fact that I allowed that woman the opportunity to read
my "political manifesto" . In other words that magazine was created ,
if you look et the facts - of which you are not presently aware of - with
little more than a letter end my say-so ! Indeed , if it weren't for me end my
"manifesto" , say I had been run over by e bus or something (heaven's
forbid) , that woman wouldn't even have- a magazine or the meny millions of
dollars et must be pulling in every month .
Now maybe the adveredge person would be setysfido to stop
there . I however am not one of those people end wish to show you whet I
believe these facts mean when they ere really examined . Firstly , I think we
well both admit , the normal person - after receiving in idea from somebody
else , which has allowed them to mike meny millions of dollars , well the
normal person who received this gift would go about trying to see that the
person whom gave them this gift would en some way be rewarded for their
contribution . This seems to suggest to me that our Mess Winfrey his intentions
of her own ; intentions I say , though none of us have is of yet
publicly heard of them - for The White
House . Well I can tell you that if that woman ever makes that piticular public
announcement - either on her show or in that magazine , the results she might
wish for will only happen over my cold , deed s body and. en fact , et well take the return of
Jesus Christ Himself , to prevent me from
becoming the first , black
, North American leader in present
day history .
Believe me , I
have both the power end the intellect to throw a mighty wrench into the works of this woman's endeavors -
since instead of doing whet she should
have done after reading my
"manifesto" , which was incidentally
calling for the launching of e new
publication , well she certainly had
no right -.in her position - to
leave me feeling as though I had
been "intellectually raped" or (playjurized) "politically
plundered" (my manifesto) end because of the piticular contents of that
first letter I had sent to her -
which caused the creation of "0 The
Oprah Magazine" , as though an affront had even been made against my ell to
reel and. fragile human soul
Now the people at Oprah's "Harpo Productions
Inc." knew that the reason I
was calling for the launching of a new
publication , was because I wished
to write in this publication -
suggestive policy - that would allow me to eventually get my name added to the national electoral ballot in
this country . You would think that such e person with intentions such as mine ,
would be considered e person not to -
excuses my french - fuck with . That however-is not the way our Miss Oprah Winfrey , end her gang have decided to regard me . I must imagine they must think of me as nothing other then e poor , little black brother , who has no capability of using his intellect to see that they ere all properly
punished . Well my goodness ,
such foolishness on their pert down in Chicago , end whet e total misreading of character .
The way I see it , this
women's behavior must be made public knowledge , for e start . I mean to say , we can't as e society - give
these people celebrity - allowing them to be perceived as peregrines of morality ,
ethics and even intellect ; only to have
them turn around and stick that preverbal knife in our backs . Sri in order to prevent this from continually happening to me - by these people . I would start e simple
letter campaign to Oprah and her. people - making certain that they realized that
I knew the place they grit their idea for launching
their new magazine , was from reading my political "manifesto" .
At this same time I , believing this magazine had been created because of my "manifesto" , took it upon myself to believe that perhaps I was expected to fulfill my "manifesto". Sri with letters - of which there were about seven , (7) , I cimmitted myself to sending in articls ; one of which was on "abortion laws" another
on "gun
control" and the last - after which I gave up for reasons of which you will soon understand , on "drug legalization .
Now you must understand that I
believed - simply because the
"0 Magazine"
had been created at all , because the idea same from me - though it might not have been exactly what I had asked for but understood
that it would do , and because
nobody had bothered to inform me of
the country as to the idea for the creation , well I believed that perhaps
they were just too bissy to write bask . This is why for the next
couple of months - after learning
of the soon to be launched "O The Oprah Magazine" , I submitted
those articles in the first place . After
that I even went out and bought the
magazine-- that I should have been given a free life-time.,. paid subscription to ; had these people been standing on their morals and ethic's. and for the first two (2) months - since my manuscripts had not yet been sent bask
to
me , I even still half expected to see one of my articles published in this magazine . I realize that my action of writing these articles and sending them in , might have seemed somewhat foolish on my part to some people . But I did at least have to have hope , and
after all , everyone by this
time-had to realize that it was nothing other than my "manifesto" which had created this thing anyway
.
Anyway , it must be obvious - or I would not be writing you now , Oprah
and her gang have not decided to
reward me in any way for my part ; small
as it might have been and tiny her
oblation . That's ok though ,
because I have always been an all or nothing
kind of guy . Through this woman's
deciding that I am to be given on
honor however,, makes me
believe that in this instance - she
has taken something away ; otherwise I doubt I would feel as though I have
been intellectually raped , politically plundered and as though an affront
has been made against my soul . So
for reasons almost anyone can understand , there would some a time in which I felt something else need be done . I mean let's face it , these
people were not treating me with
any sort of humane respect at all , because
I knew I would never do what they
were doing to me . Besides that ,
if anyone wanted to claim that I wasn't a good writer , it only has to be pointed out once again ; I caused the creation of that magazine with little more than a letter and
my say-so . You would think.the
least they could do , was include a
"rejection letter" with my returned manuscripts .
So by now if I have been able to capture your interest
at all ,
you must be wondering what I intend to do about tee situation . Well , presently
I am engaged in yet another letter
campaign . Occasionally I still send
a letter to Oprah , making
certain - as I have with other letters , teat they are sent registered mail , copy-written, signed sealed and post-marked ; before tee copy is safely put away for future court proceedings : which when opened , will
prove these people knew exactly what they
were doing and
teat they did it with malice intent .
Naturally to date they have not sent me any response ; perhaps mistakenly thinking as long as they don't say anything , I won't be able to prove--my case against teem . I mean who am I ,
they must think , to believe I will or even could sussed at bringing down this "Queen of
Television" . I put it to you
however , I am not any longer out mearly to bring down this
"queen" our dear Miss Oprah , but if need be , and tee
choice I have not left alone in my hands but theirs , I will bring down a large portion of tee institution of which see
represents ; meaning tee television industry itself - or at least make certain people answer to questions .
You see , these
people - Rosie , Dr. Laura and others in tee industry , cannot be allowed to represent themselves as
paragons of morality and eateiss ; only
to stand by and watch after they
have been made all too aware of their "queen's" actions . I am not saying anyone is legally bound to do anything , you understand When we examine tee moral and eateical perimeters of tee situation
however , these same-people-are not
intitled to sit on their ass doing nothing ; or else why should we ,
the public , ever trust anything that they say on their shows ?
When you think about it , it is as though these people have witnessed a crime and for some misguided reason of loyalty
perhaps - decided to do and say nothing about it . Such action or disaction , one.
could suggest to be "complisity after
tee fast" and teat is criminal . I
might be inclined to even go as far as to::say-teese-
same people could be viewed in a ease-of misrepresentation ; since what they project themselves to be - apparently they are not .
Believe me , I realize there is nothing "Tee Fifth Estate" can be expected to do . Or who knows , maybe there is ? Don't worry though , I will still keep watching your show . That is not however tee reason for which I am now writing.
I just wanted to make you aware of the situation ;
so that perhaps one day you might be able to pull this letter from your files remembering when and that I did
say "I do intend - in spite of
my economic background , lack of a
formal <, education , a minor criminal record or even my skin color ,
I do none the less intend to have my name added and hopefully to the
next National Electorial:..Ball©t and
that I went against the best to do it .
If anything at all
,
all I could hope fore from "The Fifth
Estate" is perhaps some sort of
advise - providing that advise isn't
of course "forget it" ; since
that is the one thing I am the least
prepared to do . Nor Tam I prepared
to permit such a woman as Oprea , should
it in the future prove to be her wish -to ever become The President. of The
United States and the "rightful occupant" of The American White House ; while believing her to be morally , ethically and even perhaps intellectually challenged , and will do everything within my legal-power to prevent such an unholy accordance .
Do not be mistaken . This
is not about some guy just wanting to get his greedy little hands on that woman's money . I could and should soon have plenty of my own with any one (I) of three (3) inventions , I have not yet been able to find time to commit to paper and send in to companies .
Then there is the Television Game Show
I am working on - which incidentally is called
"Acquisition" or "The Millionaire's Club".. I haven't quite figured out the title and there
are a few other bugs I emit . Anyway ,
besides that , the option to write , has always been more important to me than all the money in the world . And I really do believe that the pen is the most
powerful tool mankind has ever
invented .
So one must
understand how when this should have been my one (I) true chance to finally carve a career , well how would I be expected to feel - how would anyone but
betrayed , abused , and perhaps a little bit vengeful ? And who is to say that if I have really believed for twenty-two (22 ) years that I could somehow become P.M.. and have not mearly been living in a
cloud of insanity , "this is
not
the point on which I must make my stand" or forever have to ask -nwself "could I have" and "what if" like so meny other unhappy people ?
In closing , if
you check the recent "Disney Settlement" for an action much the same as this , that guy was awarded.240 million dollars . I feel confidant and do believe that if something is not done to my
satisfaction , I have every right to ask all of 280 million dollars -plus perks for
say - a paid two (2) page monthly spread ; in
which I would be able to write what I want. I could - if need be , even see-my way
into asking two point five (2.5) to
five present (US) royalties and the
entire royalties of the "premiere issue' of The Oprah Magazine . I mean just
look at that first cover and thin till me you can't make the-comectiom between
that litter., and the colors she chose to display on that cover
. In all of the meny months since she has never done anything even remotely
like that cover .
Finally I have submitted a copy of
that first letter -and
if after reading
it - you can honestly say to ma that these people,
didn't then go around and almost immediately call - advertisers to get this thing done and that for these facts alone
I should not feel
eledgabuleto any imtitlement , I
think I would almost be prepared to
walk away . On top of this , I have done everything I should be expected to ,
to convay
to this woman as to how I feel -and always to no..avail . It
is as if I have been totally
disrespected --even ass a human being
So if money is the way the world
thinks it must be judged , and
the loss the
`there-of the only thing this woman is.in feer of , what kind of person would I be
to throw such an
opportunity away ? Beyond that , with nearly three-hundred million dollars in my
pocket - or whatever "out of
court settlement" she-might be forced to accept-, who in
this country will not vote for me ? I
mean , it should be obvious to everyone. -I wouldn't need be involved. in "government corruption" like-so meny of our dealing ministers today - with that kind of cash now would I ? Adn anyone who
would be respected by his ministers and perhaps a little nit
failed to , don't you ?
Lastly
, who is to say,the~forty to sixty precent of the nationally edledgeanul ,
adult could bring down the television
industry and its
"queen" •I -think
such a person public , who don't now'at~~a11 - won't vote ,for someone
perceived more like themselves ; someone who has never
beyond the leavel of Class-Vice-)',been involved in
politics and before this "0prah Moment" , might have made a lot of
people happy by never have being so and might never ,rave had the chance be anyway / eather ?
