114 FACTS FOR THE CONSPIRACY international Con-Agra and operated by Adolph Raskin. The part that Packerland owner George Gillette played is easy to analyze. Why would a stout Jewish family sell an extremely profitable business? And to a Christian? The answer I get is that nobody could run the business once Ziggy was gone. George Gillette is neither a cow man nor a packing house operator. He would not know the difference between a springer or an open cow. He would not know the difference between a cor ^rcial cut or a choice cut until it was in his mouth. If nobody could run the plant once Ziggy was gone, why would an NBC Television owner buy Packerland, a highly management-orientated business dealing with perishables, and then let it fade out of its primary and historically profitable business-that of supplying the huge USDA school lunch account? What could he gain from this, unless he had received an order? His withdrawal from the federal contracts at Packerland and his early bid to buy my plants (operations which were centered around the profit made on the USDA school lunch business) made me more than suspicious. Maybe the following incident will explain why. Within a few weeks of my public exposure on all the television networks, starting on September 18, 1983, Gillette called me about purchasing my meat packing operations. I priced the companies at $40 million. A basis for assessing an immediate price for any company is to calculate ten times the company's earnings. Our earnings were running about $350,000 per month, which would justify the $40,000,000 asking price. However, I did not want to sell. I have been on my back before and won the match, and I believed our companies would easily weather the storm. When Gillette called me, he referred to a picture of me that he had on his desk, saying that I was a handsome guy. Why did he have my picture, and for how, long had he had it? I never received any offer from Northern States or anyone else, and I finally ended up selling all of my Gering holdings to Packerland (Gillette). They bought me out for ten cents on the dollar. These holdings were worth millions more, but I had no choice, because in a few short months the media and the government had destroyed the companies' reputations. The question I ask is: "What is the importance of George Gillette's expertise and connections to the meat packing industry?" He served his apprenticeship under the direction of Abe Saberstein of the Harlem Globe Trotters, which is entertainment. George Gillette is listed as Roman Catholic, and he doesn't fit the typical personality type found in the meat packing business, with its low margin of profits. There is no question that he is an "odd duck" in my line of business. One final detail concerning Gillette that is of increasing significance as I probe for the final solution to my dilemma is that after leaving Abe and the Globe Trotters, he became one of the largest owners of NBC-TV affil iate stations. Could such a FACTS FOR THE CONSPIRACY person be a front man, disguising the true financial backing of the TV and meat packing industry? Is he legitimate, a pawn, or a crypto-Jew?* * Jews have consistently converted to Catholicism or Christianity but remained Jews at heart du1 the Spanish, Portuguese, and Central European inquistions in the late fifteenth century or their recent confrontation in Germany.
