Important Mailing
This is one of the most important mailings that we have sent out recently.
It is about a website listing people who are gay and Jewish.
Big deal? Well, the people shown include almost all major "gay-rights" leaders
in America. Yep. In other words, this website verifies that the major, important
homosexual-rights activists in America are almost all Jews: Larry Kramer, Arnie
Kantrowitz, Barrett Brick, etc., etc.
[They left out the biggest, busiest Jewish gay-rights person, Alan Klein, so we include
Klein's info here, from our own files: Alan Klein -- co-founder of ACT UP; co-founder of
Queer Nation; National Communications Director and chief spokesperson for the
Gay & LesbianAlliance Against Defamation [GLAAD]; Klein also co-founded the campaign
STOPDRLAURA.COM].
Nonetheless, this website shows most major "gay-rights leaders" in America as
being Jewish [note to newbies: that is 'Jewish by race,' not simply 'by religion'].
Shocking -- not to us but to Mom-and-Pop America.
This is vital information that you need to
1) copy and save to external disk for your records;
2) send to Christian leaders -- at least send them the URL.
We will read that website carefully and any omitted Jewish names/leaders will be sent thru
this e-list in about 1 or 2 weeks, since we have a big file of gay
leaders-who-are-Jewish.

The Gay Mafia, Michael Ovitz, Vanity Fair July 2002
http://report.ca/archive/report/20020722/p22i020722f.html
Meanwhile, the secular culture moves further
by Kevin Michael Grace
THE Larry Sanders Show was celebrated for shock. But anyone who saw the episode
"Putting the 'Gay' Back In Litigation" could be forgiven for not believing
what he saw. Phil, the head writer, was accused of sexually harassing Brian, the
homosexual secretary of Larry's sidekick, Hank. The show's producer, the
formidable Arthur, bellowed at Phil: "Do you know who runs this town?" Phil
replied, weakly, "The Jews?" Arthur bellowed back: "No! The gay Jews!"
The existence of a Hollywood "Gay Mafia" has been bruited about for a long time.
Two of its most powerful members are supposedly David Geffen, the G of
DreamWorks SKG, and Barry Diller, the CEO of USA. Mr. Diller's reputation is such that the
TV series Action parodied him as a closeted gay so monstrous he
claimed the protagonist's unborn child as his own and threatened to destroy him if he
mentioned the truth. (Mr. Geffen's reputation is such that a biography claimed
that when former fianc�e Cher refused to return the gifts he had bought her, he
threatened to sue.)
Mr. Geffen has feuded famously with Michael Ovitz--world's biggest agent, turned Disney
executive, turned highest-paid-off fired movie exec ever, turned flop.
So it was hardly surprising that Mr. Ovitz blamed Mr. Geffen for his downfall. That he
also blamed (in Vanity Fair) the "Gay Mafia" was so shocking that his sanity
was questioned.
Mr. Ovitz also mentioned Mr. Diller by name, but according to the Los Angeles Times,
"Most of the people Ovitz blames for his demise happen not to be gay."
Yet none of the major media outlets covering the story bothered to consider the question
of whether a "gay mafia" exists. Mr. Diller told Vanity Fair, "You're not
serious...Wow. He said that on the record? Wow...Wow. I'm stunned. I'm stunned." Mr.
Geffen told the Times, "You're not seriously asking me to comment on
this insanity." Variety asked, "Was it an interview or a psychotic
episode?" Mogul Bernie Brillstein (Larry Sanders producer) said, "He's done it.
It's over...He's on
a parade field. They've taken off his epaulets, and now they have to stab him. He
shouldn't work in this town again."
Perhaps the only calm assessment of the Ovitz shock-horror came from Internet pundit David
Poland (www.thehotbutton.com): "Okay...deep
breaths...any
entertainment writer or industry insider who claims that the phrase 'gay mafia' isn't
bandied about as freely as rumours about the sexual proclivities of certain movie
stars is a liar. I didn't make it up any more than Mike Ovitz did...My personal experience
has been that the 'gay mafia' is pretty much like every other group in the
industry that feels like they are on the losing side of the class struggle, whether that's
true or not...Gay men dominate the television business in Hollywood. Sure,
there are straight men and women working...plenty of them. But TV, particularly the sitcom
world, starts and ends with gay men."
Only the most craven (and that includes pretty much everybody) would deny that the gays
are extremely powerful in Hollywood. Just look at the apologies they
coerced out of Andy Rooney, Mel Gibson and Dr. Laura Schlessinger, to name but three. And,
of course, Mr. Ovitz himself later apologized. But perhaps a more
interesting question is how powerful gays are in journalism. Although Mr. Ovitz included a
New York Times reporter in his arch-nemesis list, no one dared to
recycle the boast of openly gay Times national political correspondent Richard Berke (to
the 2000 National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association conference):
"There are times when you look at the front-page meeting [of the Times news staff]
and...literally three-quarters of the people deciding what's on the front page are
not-so-closeted homosexuals."

Ovitz attacks Hollywood's "gay Mafia"
Former Disney president Michael Ovitz has controversially blamed what he's termed
Hollywood's "gay Mafia" for his fall from grace.
Ovitz, who left Disney under a cloud but with a rather substantial golden handshake in
1997, saw his own company, Artists Management Group, collapse last
year. In a rather shocking interview with Vanity Fair magazine, he accused certain
Tinseltown execs of plotting against him, saying, "it was the goal of these people
to eliminate me." Among those he named is record company mogul David Geffen, who
Ovitz reckons has "always hated him."
Geffen described Ovitz's remarks as "crazy" and "insane" to The New
York Post, adding, "I think he needs a psychiatrist. it's so paranoid, and so crazy,
and so
irresponsible, and makes him look like such a nut. On a scale of 1 to 10 crazy, it's
11."

Ovitz: "Gay Mafia" After Me!
http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,10191,00.html
by Mark Armstrong
Jul 2, 2002, 3:00 PM PT
Forget the financial missteps and the countless enemies he made as Hollywood's once
powerful �beragent: Mike Ovitz knows once and for all why his reputation
and business are in ruins.
It's the "Gay Mafia."
Okay, so they're not all gay (and for that matter, they're not really a mafia), but
Industry tongues are wagging this week over a bitter, straight-talking interview
Ovitz has given to Vanity Fair magazine, in which he proclaims he's through with Hollywood
and blames a so-called "Gay Mafia"--led by David Geffen and
others--for effectively booting him out of town. a d v e r t i s e m e n t
"I know how hard it is for people to see me as a victim," Ovitz says, "but
in this case it's pretty close to the truth."
In what many are calling career suicide for a man who founded Creative Artists Agency and
once was the most powerful suit in Tinseltown, Ovitz details the rise
and fall (and sabotage, natch) of Artists Management Group, his startup talent-management
agency and production company that collapsed after three years.
After spending millions of dollars of his own money--and then failing to secure several
big-money deals--Ovitz was forced to sell off his struggling baby in May to
management company the Firm for a very humbling $12 million.
Ovitz, however, is convinced the story would have gone differently if not for the scheming
of Geffen, New York Times reporter Bernard Weinraub (whom he said
"parrots" everything Geffen tells him), former CAA prot�g�s Bryan Lourd, Kevin
Huvane and Richard Lovett, and Ovitz's former boss, Disney chief Michael
Eisner.
"It was the goal of these people to eliminate me," Ovitz said. "They wanted
to kill Michael Ovitz. If they could have taken my wife and kids, they would have."
Many of Ovitz's "mafia" enemies refused to comment. But by Tuesday, enemies and
observers alike were predicting Ovitz would--all together now--never eat
lunch in this town again. (The issue hits stands Wednesday.)
"That's just so offensive," Geffen told Vanity Fair, upon hearing Ovitz's
"mafia" allegations. "You know, all the fags, they get together and they
pick a victim: Let's
go get that one! It's remarkable that, at this point in history, the most powerful man in
Hollywood, he's been brought down by a gay cabal! I've never heard
anything like it in my life!"
Vivendi Universal Entertainment chief Barry Diller, another target of Ovitz's ire, was
equally shocked by the "Gay Mafia" claim.
"You're not serious," he told the magazine. "Wow. He said that on record?
Wow...Wow. I'm stunned. I'm stunned."
Ovitz has had a roller-coaster career since founding CAA in 1975. He left the agency in
1995 to run Walt Disney, only to leave the Mouse House after a little
over a year--taking with him a hefty $100 million severance payout.
The Vanity Fair story gives a detailed account of how two last-minute financing deals (one
with Diller and one with AT&T) collapsed underneath Ovitz's AMG,
leaving him with no choice but to sell the company (which represented talent like Leonard
DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz) to the Firm, an upstart that was most
notable for its work with music stars like Korn and Limp Bizkit.
