Vanessa's Law

So...

S-o-o-o... Regardless of the current price of the Monetary Metals (which you all know we are holding down here), 'we,' meaning this thing that underlies all of what goes on on these pages, the Autism thing and the Silver Fund, are not quite 'there yet.'

Raid the place for its
Silver plate...
LOL

But we are rapidly closing in on a 'meaningful' amount that can both organically grow, fully launch the Autism Employment Project (and whatever other related reasons to help out via the Schools, because last month there was an 'incident' that happened at a neighboring school which required some crisis 'help'), as well as return back to stake-holders (anyone who showed interest here and there's a few of you brilliant people) actual 'returns.'

Because it all started from such an ostensibly low base (I think corporate experience may count for something we often tend to disregard) it was not a productive thing to do to 'start' as if this was any kind of major professional 'Foundation' or 'Trust Fund' or anything like.

However - we are rapidly closing in on a different level of potentials. I don't really want to dwell on all the problems getting things actually working in terms of outside corporate sponsorship (there more or less has not been any; companies, even local councils, government agencies talk a lot but they don't do although the Wanneroo City Council is being helpful).

'Vanessa's Law' is a new proposed scheme down here through which all 'child stars' will have at least 15% of their earnings moved into a Trust Fund which will not be touched by managers or anyone else until the child becomes an adult and is able to direct the application and/or management of those funds themselves.

The proposal of such a law is based on 'Coogan's Law' in America, which was something set up following the experiences of US child star Jackie Coogan, and was initiated down here and driven by Vanessa Amorosi -, and her own experiences are quite frightful, shocking, horrifying - but sad to say, almost typical of a lot of people's experiences in dysfunctional family situations.

'That'll do now Baldrick.
And -, keep your hands
off the walls.'

We've had pretty ambitious aims here and so it is not that we have reached the point where these can be realized properly yet - one of the major hold-ups is finding the right public presenter/s...

But, probably on account of that both Gold and Silver have been skyrocketing recently, there is scope to at least make reasonable arrangements similar to a 'Vanessa's Law'- type proposition going forward (meaning starting right now).

And so just in case of accidents and for future reference, two people - 'John W. Armstrong' (his real name) and 'Bill Smith' (not his real name) have knowledge and access to a physical facility which approximates to around 15% of all inflows to date.

At some point this will either require to be formally turned into an actual Trust, or at minimum broadened to other members here.

...I'm not real keen on opening any doors though, to complicated taxation issues. Right now there's nothing complicated involved. We'll see how things go.

I realized that I should really look at this hard because of the news about Vanessa Amorosi, and reminding myself that in fact, I am vaguely related to some (still living!) horrendously wealthy people, and I know one or two of them quite well on excellent speaking terms - and those individuals, have larger immediate families in which there are all sorts of 'Vanessa' problems!!

There is no reason for me to 'name drop' with respect to this 'vague relationship' stuff, but I will just talk about this truly excellent, and long-since forgotten, 1980's movie called 'Passion Flower' which starred Bruce Boxleitner.

'Tiger Bill' Wyllie.
You've never heard of him.
Long since passed now...
He owned the land on which
half of the Pan-Pacific Hotels
were located. LOL
CIA much?
Bill Smith - Jacobe is related to
him through Auntie Amunda 
and Rhonda Wyllie.
Can you imagine?!

The main characters in the film are a blend of 'Tiger' Bill Wyllie, an Australasian-based multi-billionaire shipping and trading house magnate (who went to primary school with my mother...), and Jim Thompson, the American CIA guy who began the South East Asian silk trading conglomerate which still carries his name.

What makes the movie utterly true-to-reality to me, is because of one particular scene (although there are several also good ones) in a club, could be Chinese Tanglin Club, could be the Singapore Club, dunno - but anyway, the 'Tiger' character talks to this stock-broker or deal-arranger/manager/ship insurance agent whatever, and says to him in deprecating tones:

'Keep your hands of the baize, Singh.'

And that was a signal to Singh to go ahead and do what he was meant to do and no one would suspect a thing...

Because only Singh (and the zillionaire guy) would have had the requisite education to understand what - in the specific context - the word 'baize' meant and it meant several things.

But as you continue to read over the next few pages to come here, you will form an idea of what a secret, a truly secret code word, is all about.

And that is because you have been educated now.

And others are not educated.

You could be 'Lord Chris Smith' for all I know or care but you won't be educated. Not like people who read in here.

Boxleitner. Way better actor than he was
ever given any roles to demonstrate.

Besides, I do not expect the barbaric Reptilians to come here anyway and read - they are all so full of themselves. God. They rival 'Judge' Ural Glanville in what they think of themselves and their 'power.'

Katy Perry yes is a part-Reptilian but she is not barbaric, and she does not actually eat human people.

Er.

Um. You will certainly note that my past 'Elves and Fairies' tales about the exchange of Silver for you, turned out to be somewhat (at now USD 50 +/-) less than just a 'fairy tale.'

And sure you could assume that oh well it was all just meta-narrative and then existential coincidence took things over. Except I never said that it was and I perfectly meant exactly what I said in the way that I exactly said it...

Some fathers and daughters get on properly. Like Gareth Emery and his daughter here:
