Before he became leader of the German nation, before he volunteered for service in the German Army, Adolf Hitler sought to become an artist. That's all - just a harmless little artist who might have eeked out a living painting water colors of public squares. But the powers that be denied him admission to art school in Vienna, and the rest is, as they say, history. But think just how inexpensive it would have been, in the long run, had someone recognized in young Adolf the future possibilities, and bought him off with a few lessons in drawing.
I intuit that Luke Ford is in a similar position. Oh, he SEEMS like a harmless nobody, but don't be deceived. There is a manic intelligence at work here, an intelligence that can go one of two ways. Either one of you gedolim help him out here by throwing him a bone (i.e., a job in journalism/entertainment/Jewish Federation even), or it is inevitable that he will grow dissatisfied with what has been done to him over the years by you and turn on all of you. And he's not just another dumb goy - this guy knows our weaknesses better than al Qeada knows the layout of the CitiGroup Tower on West 53rd street in Manhattan. Why take a chance on what tomorrow will bring by ignoring him, and leaving him to fester in the puss of his poverty? The cheaper, better course of action is coopt him NOW, while you still can, and at a bargain rate. Just write to Chaimamalek@yahoo.com and let me know what you can offer him.
