April 18, 1977&#13;
&#13;
Dear Jeffrey:&#13;
&#13;
My friend...it is ironic...that the actual FATE of the United States...depends on Jeffrey Mishlove! Has that dawned on you yet? The western half of the United States is being burned up by drought...and it will only get worse in time to come. (I know, because the SIs are doing it...and they are communicating with me steadily on the matter.) PK Man is the ONLY hope that the western U.S. has...and of course, if the western half burns up...the eastern half will be stricken as a result of it. And since Jeffrey is the associate, however oblique, of PK Man...and can get the funds for PK Man to set up a safe-base and have security...which is the price of restoring the western half of the U.S. -- then it follows that as Jeffrey goes, or is successful...so goes the United States! You are in a mighty big game, my friend Jeffrey! Survival of the United States, no less!&#13;
&#13;
If you haven't guessed yet...the SIs can control any country in the world, and/or any portion of that country. For a connection to what is happening now to the west coast...dig out the Cleveland File from Tippy's records...and scan it. There is your answer. If it is not in there...let me know and I'll mail you a copy. Very important. That is when I hit Cleveland with devastating heat...and it spells it out how the SIs did it, with newspaper clippings.&#13;
&#13;
Now, Jeffrey, we can go two ways with financial backers...and remember that you get a fast 10%, in cash, as my agent. We can ask $50,000 in advance; $950,000 in escrow, to be delivered to me as soon as I give the west coast as much rain as it needs within six months to get healthy again. You'd get $5,000 in cash from the advance immediately, and $9,500 in cash from the balance as soon as I get the job done.&#13;
&#13;
Or, if we can't get that kind of money...$25,000 in advance, with $75,000 in escrow...same % applying, in cash to you.&#13;
&#13;
If Barbara Walters, the female newscaster, can get $5,000,000 for yapping like a ventriloquist vulture half an hour a day...surely PK Man can get a fifth of that, for saving the United States!&#13;
&#13;
As soon as I get the advance, I plan to buy a fast car here...and drive to Oregon Caves in Oregon, just over the line from northern California, and set up a base in the hotel there, and go to work for rain. After 3-4 weeks the mechanism will be set and working...then will fly back to Cape Charles, hire a giant U-Haul truck, load it with my records, etc., and drive it with my boy, Beau, back to Oregon, where we plan to find a lodge in the woods and live. My wife and small son will put them up until I get out with Beau to retrieve them.&#13;
&#13;
This is my plan...and am going to stick to it. You and I will probably not see each other at all...because I will be too busy getting set up in our new home in the mountain woods. The only time we will see each other will be the time I drive to you and put the % cash in your hands. (You can certainly use the cash to follow your academic career.)&#13;
&#13;
You say that you are not "used to bargaining." Nope. Probably not. But you'd better get used to it...because parapsychology research takes funding, and you have to constantly dig up funds to keep going. I speak from deep knowledge. While at Duke I had to go to Texas to see a Texas millionaire to try and keep his $50,000 per year funding of the Duke parapsychology lab going...representing Duke at the time, of course. Duke didn't fund its parapsychology lab...it had to depend on financial donors...and the chances are, so will you. So, the more cash you have in hand, the faster and more surely you can proceed in your chosen work. Scientists at Duke were POORLY paid...Duke traded on the fact that it has a big name, and scientists teaching there and working there...would cash in on the Duke rep...which was why they could be chintzy with their salaries and pay. See? And so it goes.&#13;

Ted Owens.&#13;
