You're listening to the dollop on the all things comedy network. This is a bilingual american history, podcast. for each week. I. Palm Tree watcher. man who swims not a fan of sharks, Dave Feet, feeder, the cats, Anthony going you're doing great reads: story: american history to his friend Gareth Reynolds has no idea what the topic is going to be about visaed heater, my heater went first I thought you said heater and then I thought is a computer. My daughter, I was very goes so I didn't the same, how a computer could go off and get still be hearing you, so you can understand my configure yea. I know for sure now that would be weird,

so let's get into why you let's get into why you were lying right there from the beginning in way I lied to play the tape. I beg of you to play the tape back. You would here that I said the feeder went off, so this is just like a big like a big game to you to try to get inside of my head like right away like you're trying to pull now, let's I mean you're just trying to you're trying to rent space up in this bad boy, but here's the thing about me is nothing. Stop talking. Nothing get in here, literally, nothing get hear nothing can get into my head. Nothing ever ever so you are american. oh yeah, oh yeah You heard about that and nothing get in my head. You heard about this and I'm not an idiot here about the scam dammit thing yeah you mean no virus. What's that, you know here's the thing and I've been talking to a lot of people about this,

It's amazing that the entire world, like every country in the world, Thailand, and Sudan and Bolivia, and every country is trying to make it so Trump doesn't get reelected by wearing masks everyone they're all they're all in on a agree. I agree. I agree, you know just shows you how radius is its but I find it allocating personally. That's it's freaking out and that's so well yeah he's doing great he's doing great yep. Both sides Crush inside. Jeff soliloquy. We are fast than the government right now god- bless America

Less than that, I love the jam catch, the fucking Guy Dave, okay, and this is not going to come a particularly hard hit him with the present sick argument that actually harm done by the October. Twenty. Sixth three year. Lord Jesus Christ. Do you remember, I guess that's wrong. Eighty. My hair look it looks better than that. It is

As a good one, what happened that day? I had a I had a hat on. I took it off. That's what I said to my friend. I was like. He had a had, not fair Napoleon Hill was born in pound Virginia. What middle name. Poland is like yeah. We want to be a little prick. I mean it's really a weird name and eighteen, eighty three so his father, or James was a dentist. You know in that Tate dentist. You know it's definitely yeah yeah yeah, you mean tooth surgeon, yeah GM murder. Or an assignee that his dad dabbled in moonshine sure side job when you're done, I think back. Then they call that a side dabble so his mom Sarah died when Oliver was just nine years old and his dad took a whole year to find a new, Eddie and remarry. What would you guess?

signage of these start, with a pair of dying in the first three sentences. Thirty five or the kid I mean, if you want to get into a parent or a kid, and then I go if a kid or a parent dies is about fifty sixty. I think it's more, but like, I think, that's a gaiety expiry, so he married Martha and Martha kept Oliver on the quote straight and narrow. Okay all quotes from this entire episode is based on Matt Novak's American Hester, the american huckster on paleo future men have access great writer, I farm on Twitter. Also, so Martha, pushed him to get an education and she wanted to focus on writing. A hard time after his mom died, he he called it a life of solitude frustration.

So she is she pushing for this like age, ten she's like command you era and work and what she doesn't want to write a book. She just wants him to write. She wants him to use his imagination in he starts getting into trouble by twelve this during a revolver, Sir most writers, Sir Armed Twelve yeah, it's Ninety ninety percent Hemingway thing: it's either you have that and a pen, that's right, Martha then bought him a typewriter, hoping he would go in the other direction and she told him quote if you become as good with a typewriter as you are with that gun, you may become rich and famous and known throughout the world. Okay, so what's becoming clear to me, is Martha has no idea how to parent, because, like Think of my own position like that is something I could totally see my mother doing like finding pot in my a dream and being like. Have you tried? Pepsi You know- and you just get out of here

you have a gun. I mean you'd have been about saying you should have a god, but if you have a gun whose whose getting walked back by a typewriter, look guns are far more fun than typewriters. You know what he should have done it's just shot the typewriter. Yet or know who's boss. Let her know, let's turn now typewriters have a lot of noise, oh god I was so sad. I was having a sad moment. I thought maybe it froze but you didn't know face. It was sadness. I was real. I already my life in the choice of me, but combined. Let's, let's talk off, I feel the same way so Oliver starts writing. He wrote for a small newsletter and then once in a while that stories that in there were, would get picked up and printed in Virginia newspapers.

That's riding a more and more and is running story. So this worked so she gave me ass. A king worth gets he's not a gear up, he had a really big imagination when there were a lot going on- and he didn't have like- life stories to pick from. He would just start making stuff up interesting at fifty. And got a young lady in the area pregnant, father demanded he demanded that they get married. So this is, I mean I love him. Makes a bad decision Sunday, like you know what else it needs to be married, it's like, but now that will not help so he gets married advantage. Is that back then? That's not a crazy. Whatever. It's not great. So but then after they get married a little while after she, she confesses that the kids, not his oh shit, wow, so

He gets the marriage annulled and still in high school and after high school. He what's the matter, Oliver, Just stressed over my annulment: Dave yeah, it's a nightmare after ISIS He after high school, he gets job working for a coal magnate Rufus Aires. Now there are some biographies that have been written about Oliver over the years So, every once in a while os I'll just say from a biography of Oliver and so from a biography of Oliver, he quote compensated for his youth and five foot: six stat.

by adopting the appearance of a serious young executive ramrod straight posture, impeccable double breasted suits, immaculately, pressed white shirts conservative, both ties and white handkerchief neatly posed in the breast pocket k, so he just started dressing. The part is a tiny, fancy guy he's a tiny, MR addressing the part you it's amazing that his middle name is Napoleon, so he starts writing stories in which he, hearing stories about himself doing stuff in weight and in the stories he is always very incredibly honest and very trustworthy, and these are not writings of fiction. These are okay, sure sure, I'm not I'm not one to judge okay or say I've never judged anyone. So I'm not going to start now, just like judged me on this show today so

ignore that nonsense, so is impressed with Oliver, and he promotes him after six months to clerk in a coal mine in and then one day. a cashier at the local bank, which is owned by heirs. Quote, went on a bender one weekend shift, Oh, the cashier is plowed and he takes his gun out he's at a hotel. He takes his gun out and then he drops it and the gun goes off and it shoots and kills a a black bell boy in the hotel? Okay, so all of a rush is over and he says he interviewed the only eyewitness who was there. Who said that's what happened? The gun fell down and then Oliver goes to the bank, because the guy was a cashier Which is a weird move, so sorry, so the man is back.

the bank on Monday, like men, did, I have a hell of a weekend. I killed them, I want to drop it now, Oliver. To the shooting okay. Here what happened and then goes to the bank right? So it's an interesting. move. Usually it there's a shooting, you don't go. I gotta check the bank right, but that's ok. And for some reason, the cashier left. The doors unlocked as well as the vault unlocked. Oliver wrote that the was a mess inside quote the money scattered around as if recycling hit ok what's going on so the bay I mean. Are we just in live. Like a banker meltdown worse than two thousand and eight, while he tells airs what went

but that no money was stolen, so just clear. So Oliver goes to the bank the bank is totally open. The vault is open, there's money all over the place and the banker is not there with a banker shot the guy in the hotel right. So, okay, so there's just no one at the bank. That's right and it's just and there's nobody there Okay, so there's just ok. I just want to make sure I'm very clear. There is an open, vaulted open back. That's, okay! Gotcha! Thank you! So much everything seems fine so he he wires airs any any. Tells him what happened and that nobody was stolen and Oliver's Braga furs would write quote he faithfully counted the money, bounced the books and discover, is that not a cent was missing

made sure everybody knew he didn't take any money and then heirs was like man, this guy's awesome and he promoted him to be a manager of a coal mine in his operation. Okay, because he allegedly went into the bank. It's the bad books, I guess, which was which and there's money all over the floor. Yes- and he just He or reorganized it just to remind a montage at the bank of fixing it that's it. Now the New York Times reviewed a biography in which, I was in and concluded, Oliver had covered up a murder and he he had told the Warner was accidental and he he paid, with the Bell Boys, burial and then, and he apparently did it to get a job promotion. Okay, if I'd been very baffled for a second,

Ok, so he just again like you are sorting alluded to when you sort of alluded to earlier. He just kind of inflates himself, he will and he, and he he's doing it for his own benefit right right right. Is he It was like his way of getting a job promotion. That's his way of showing that he was a good, is good guy, good character, employed, rent, a culture, and am he's only nineteen years old. Sure right, of course, now it has been an old twice. Oliver's biography then says he kicked around for awhile doing different jobs, but he actually married someone. Time, so he leaves that out of his biography and he married Edith Whitman. On June seventeenth, nice, three new newspapers reported he was married in Tazewell they have a daughter in one thousand, five, the family moved to family. For a few months, Intel Oliver sent the family back the family to Virginia to live to step down,

so he's down in Alabama alone. He he gets into the lumber business. And then in his spare time he would just fuck sex workers quote throughout the south while say he just loved wood, it's a hobby situation, yeah right, yeah. Of course, yeah I like to build and fuck the marriages. It's a bad marriage. At one point he went to Virginia took the daughter without the mom, knowing left the daughter with his mom and then told his wife that she'd, never see her daughter again. There's I mean there's some. Flags emerging here. Do you ever? I mean that just a like a classic fight, I mean that. So that's a good tactic. Yeah. I remember you to you. I remember you told me a couple of times that you told Heather. That Finn was missing and she'd never see him again just to get

why I wanna yeah. I was like I want to go to a ball game and shoes are going to want to go to Then there is the other one. Where you told me, she won't let your draft the kids mania. That's right! Then You said you went away for about a week and you don't get this Marriage is hard because I'll say is an who has never been married. It just sounds crazy. it's his hard work? It's just get it put in the work yeah. Just sort seems it just sort of seems like this is outside of the work, because it's like You know you're sort of. you're simulating that I just think that so much stress and pain for you now know about it work of marriage, it's the kind of stuff that actually brings you closer. Right, okay, yeah I mean I guess I guess I just I don't again, I've never been married. So I'd I don't want to you don't know because like if I did that the sunlight

stating a girl who like how to kid- and I did that I like- I think that would be bad but dear, but I again of the everyday things not to say it's different. It's it's different is different. I care again to you. Eighty percent of our listeners do fake kidnappings with their with their wives and and her husband, so he also on January 24th, one thousand nine hundred and eight he wrote Edith a letter quote, I'm leaving the country where you'll never bother me, you can only communicate with me through. father and not unless he thinks best, he wasn't in the country. There was just a letter he wrote to his wife, but also who I mean. I know he's like nineteen, but, like you know, you have the appearance of a grown up, Your letter, big like well, if you want to talk to me, you've got to go through daddy. Has that for being a grown yeah? It's it's got yeah! It's not great!

Yeah he is nineteen, but this is even for a nineteen year old. This is not, I would say, not great, but he's had an annulment yeah, so Edith have Somehow got the child back. She files readers on what she says once she says that he's violent. Does why tactful and when or who yeah she a digger? She got, they got a divorce court. he doesn't show up his friends and his co workers com and just describe how he's just having sex with sex work. Up and down Alabama still like to as the fire on. So she gets divorce. Grant he didn't come because he was super busy. Cuz I believe I believe he did come so so this he he's got kind of Iraq are gone. So he's got this lumber business that he started with another guy and he starts going around and get a lumber on credit from suppliers and it gets about tat.

thousand dollars with the lumber and then he those any cells, the lumber for any prices offered. So even if its way below what he paid, he just cited Davis, he is he creating a lumber about its that's that's. What's this This kind of a lumber bubble he's making a lumber appear so if he's not paying back any of the suppliers, so he he's just he's basically just taking wood from people and selling it and keeping the money right he's like Robin Wood. That's right, love lumber companies are just taking here, is no is buying their lumber. His partner gets freaked out and and sells his shares and bails on the company and then word gets. that Oliver is committing. I guess, lumber Sure we sure it's called lumber, racket,

And now every competing lumber man in the area wants a piece of Oliver. September. He goes on the run Now newspapers is old, partner is named, a creed newspapers are reporting it and they're calling the search, the Creek Hills insatiable. Ok, I'm sure I crave is like Thank you for your me in the headline. It sounds like a great band. Yeah really does Arrest warrants go out, the postal service starts investigating him for mail fraud and he just I can hit the road and he ends up in Washington DC. carrying a new name he's got a whole new life story.

he is just going to play great in D C. Is you could do this easily he's going to be the president? So he is now a car expert and a car salesman. Okay He starts going by his middle name: scenarios. Napoleon Hills opposed ILO, for who s going to put an end to Poland was not too far removed from this time. Right, yeah Napoleon. Yet no point That's that's why he was named Napoleon in, as is that weird. What it depends, what your allegiances are? You know what is it weird? like the English. Why not? Or if you don't you not, I mean you don't hear yes but sure, but there is a bit like about John Wayne. That's a middle name. it's a really good middle name that racist old,

article get over it other than that in the area. So he. He would later say. This is the time that he met Andrew Carnegie. Oh shit. Here we go He met Andrew and he said he but enter it in his New York Match and he went there and Carnegie invited him in. and Carnegie, sat him down and told him his principles of achievement. His masters, her met, his mastermind Carnegie, told him his principles of achievement, his mastermind alliance and his ultimate secrets to financial success. Okay, and this is again, this is all from our boy Napoleon Hill. Yet this is

Pauline's version so then Carnegie, sure he too, he tells him all his secrets of how it is in all this. I guess trade secrets of how to share there's gotta be a lot yeah yeah. So then he This is an appalling to all the most powerful rich guys in the country, so Napoleon could interview them to learn how they become successful. It is this for as Heath. I understand that work potentially on a leap here, but are we saying that this is because he's Did it with writing. I mean he's a car guy. At this point. Right or he's is lighting is right. This is. So he can learn. Okay, the interest, Carnegie shilling him, the ropes, ok, so he just again very simply met up with an Andrew Carnegie and Carnegie was just like. Let me impart all the things

I've learned and why don't you meet? Everyone else is rich and successful and pick their brains. My little car friends he's he's giving him the keys to the castle the secrets all of the skills. Okay so so yeah he's going He's gonna introduced and in those powerful, rich guys in the world who, then he would interview and discuss and appointing car Sorry Carnegie told Napoleon it would take him twenty years. to learn all the secrets of how to become a successful businessman, it's a long term venture that is our shared now he's now really at it shares He travels the country and he goes around meeting people like Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. Okay, now at one point in his book,

The boy said he asked Carnegie how people could control there we'll of Fortune get pats. Adrian steered a question as to how does one control there we'll have forged Carnegie said, quote: first of all to control the wheel, one must understand master and apply the seventeen principles of achievement. Sire line. Your name should fall out of these principles and I might hear suggests that these five, if properly applied, it will carry one a long way on the road towards success in any call. Finally, Carnegie sounds just very I got a very good list. This list is seventeen things cuz, that's what Carnegie did he come up with the list of seventeen things We know the Carnegie Seventeen right So obviously, none of this is true

it's Napoleon did he deploying did not make he did not Carnegie. He did not even leave Washington is he going to work? He was just hiding in Washington DC from all the people he wanted, but in December he joined the automobile club. and then, a couple months later he started the automobile College of Washington made. Let yourself be made himself present. All Is he and I understand that the ascension to President now doesn't matter and in any sequence of experience, but is? Is it strange to immerse yourself in the world of cars for roughly two months and then decide that you can open car university. I mean its interest it's an interesting choice. I don't know back then how rudimentary cars were, but I imagine a couple months you could learn. I'll take when they were already put together. There are still people who knew more sugar right. Ok,

so so Napoleon Hill has started car university. That's right ads in papers, saying that one could become an ex for example, in cars in six weeks and a graduate of his college could make up to two hundred words about five thousand dollars a week. Ok sounds pretty good, sounds a little too good. so he started with two other partners, but very quickly. The other partners failed. not be so much of a college, what happened? Was Napoleon had made a deal with the Carter Motor Corporation to build their cars? So What should actually do to he's like Nathan for Ewing this its systems are actually just unpaid labours they're paying to be laborers to build cars.

Fleeing yes for company that is selling them and he's taking all the money he's taking money from people from students. Two to learn how to build cars. Two billion As for him, then he's taking and and getting money for the cars being built. and then the people getting these cars like. Are you sure this is built properly a lot of the the measures in the edge of the tail pipes in the back seat, at first the steering wheel, looks or a car's a car yeah. I mean it's really fucking. Raising the pseudo getting pretty mad at me for a guy who has really taught me how to do this, yet I've just telling you we have fucking deadlines and your diploma. I want to help you, I ve actually reach you just like a dangerous minds, but with cars nobody's Tonight we got fifteen. to build? What the fuck are you talking about? There's nine of us? Oh sorry,

do not want to learn how to build cars. Did you not come here to learn as second class ring the first, and to be what I meant. You was wise in that car done. I'm trying to learn yeah, That's why you're a college yeah! Well, someone needs to teach me and stop yelling at me for not building cars fast enough is this programme? Ok areas, Let me right now this guy. Over here frank, Frank. As a d, Right now, I'm not losing Daddy bad attitude for not car building for having a bad attitude about, not car building. Sorry, sir, a lot of us are having a lot of us are having trouble, building the cars that to speak up or be rude, but it just does. Seems like we, Delaware do we're doing yet at some should teach us okay. So you you got the directions with the car right in the box, there is directions yeah, but

like car little guy, this little guy who screwdriver but why its scrutiny is yeah, but a lot of these screws look the exact same. I just saying it. I mean. couldn't I do this at home. I guess ok, billows D, what those golly for it's got wants to third, who else, sir, I'm having a fantastic time, this guy. This guy. You know who I could get over to call him. I call him straight edge, and you know why his strategy comes here and he builds cars. He shuts his goddamn mouth. My name is actually my name's actually pat, so it's straight Jimmy shuts his goddamn mouth and he builds cars, and that's what are really good student. Does the rest, you guys, what are you? What are you going to complain college? You know

I even got a complaint college because you already have a degree in that. That's why yeah? Well, maybe somebody could teach us like it'd, be at. complaint university. Maybe someone teaches you how to complain, you know, but you don't just blurt, walk into a college and learn how to build a car. You asshole again, this is Frank yeah. No, I am aware its frank frank. As an ex student here at the Automobile College of Washington. Well dude ass for a ride home, but it looks like you: don't have any fucking clue how to build a car, so I'm out of here who's. Coming with me, I'm coming with you. It's me from before to its author, and the weird guy from before, where I was the second: what's your what's your name, you might The name that I have. I don't want to tell you I think, as a teacher, you should know that okay now

then. I'm ready to go to to be clear. My name is Pat, that's for sure at yeah. I, that, and then you told me that I should leave or no you thought that I was something Jimmy strategy. I mean thought you wanted to. I thought you wanted a really good transcript, but I guess not going to get outta here I got a new. I got a new class coming in tomorrow. I don't need you guys: okay, car I'll, just tell the car company that they they the company. Now don't What do you mean? Don't worry about it. Teach you talk. Are you making us build cars for a goddamn company? yeah, I'm a teacher's lounge right now. I'd appreciate, if you guys just took off and got a terrace room in this building, that's supposed to be in the lounge. Thank you, gentlemen. So maybe the longest thing we've ever done now set. Napoleon meets Florence Horner and nineteenth centuries in high school she's from a wealthy family

Three months later they get married kit Doki the week after she gets out of high school. Just as you're supposed to do boy was not a creep move. all right. They don't make a lot a graduation nuptual cards a jail. Man waits until this lady graduates before he marries a week. Well now, she's firm in the world of adulthood either. Think right. If I take her. so he's twenty seven. This is his third marriage and while Napoleon is on his honeymoon. His business partners and suppliers start bailing on him. The Washington Post reported one business partner was accusing the point of stealing a car and wanting the college put into receivership What is receivership mean? when okay, so the Carter, the Carter Car Company, then goes bankrupt in nineteen twelve.

and the writer of this verdict of the space time that no back think this could have something to do with the way the cars are being built by people who don't know how to build kind of sick. That's true, that's impossible!. Just like every cars, the Chitty Chitty, Bang, Bang, car or whatever, but the point is not shut down the the college. Now, of course not he just he changes the focus. So, instead of teaching students how to build cars, they are now taught how to sell them. Are you there is a car salesman college well now through, I live here. What is the like? I can't even imagine the negotiate, the constant negotiation so relieved yeah, so I want you guys to get that in by Thursday,

one p m, sir. If I may, I was thinking that it might make more sense if we were to maybe split that over three days, just three installments of giving you a little bit of each paper I could actually do that, and I can do that in two papers. I can do that over Wednesday and Thursday right guys it's non negotiable, I'm liking. What I'm hearing? What's your credit like, sir? It's fantastic will demand if I run it well, I'm not crazy about it. Come into this office, real quick! Let me introduce you to hey thanks! So much. They call me the closer. I don't know why come on I'm the teacher, this goddamn school. So what we're looking for is to give you five different instalment of getting this paper by Thursday five you just said to someone else at one: no listen! This is what we're after that's right now. Can I just get a credit card or as some family history, for me, real quick. So on April, eleventh, nineteen twelve Motor World Magazine published an article about the automobile college. It was titled pointing the easy route to get rich, quick land

and it broke it broke down the ways. The college was a graph to the plan for students to make five K year was that the students were kind of weak sales agents they were just Is there a sales agent? So that's like that's. You can make five years to actually sell cars. Or you know I made a lot of money and make it a fake college. That's another route, you guys can go They also would get three bucks ahead for every student new student they brought in so the so like amylase, and with the college on November eleven. Nineteen, twelve and a point in Florence had a baby. He was a baby boy, he was deaf and he had no ears. Oh, my god, you could have gone and just when you got a gun, but the first one, and I would have assumed from the points official biography quote in the years to come, despite intense fighting with both family and school teachers. Napoleon would never allow the boy to learn sign language. He was twenty.

and to single, heavily teaches deaf son to speak and even to here see now that's what happens when you're able to open a bullshit car call were eventually or teaching car salesmanship. You just believe too much, and you should. You have I to believe that you walk on water, but the idea that you're going to like that essentially obviously removes the child's ability to communicate completely, which is cool, so cool, dad check. So I've always going have the biggest years this town's ever seen ain't that right zone baby steps, the automobile call it showed stores twelve and soon after Napoleon decided he wanted more in Chicago. Is the place to go so far This family actually got him work at Lasalle Extension University through a connection and after arriving he quickly protestation or stationery

Napoleon Hill attorney at law, twenty seven, fifty Michigan Avenue Chicago now, he's obviously never gone to law school sure he has no legal experience right, but he was like this. I'm here I might as well do this. Davy had let her head and in a lot of ways, isn't that everything. So it's just the beginning of a bunch of nonsense. As a candy star, with some other people that false his heart. He opens the George Washington Institute, which is the college to teach students in the prince, goals of success and self confidence. He's the guy he's a hundred percent, the guy he is. a hundred percent, the guy to teach self confidence. He was soon accused of fraud, though nineteen yeah, I know seventeen. He told the newspaper he was going to sue a railroad because lighting in passenger cars was harming his eyesight

hope I have been using the IC train less than two months yet I have been compelled to use glasses for the first time in my life. So this is the sort of person who walks into a wall greens without a mask and wants to fight right. Yes, that's exactly what it is first there's. I know you don't understand. I I am unable I get corona from the mass like I literally, have a doctor who says that I will get corona. If I wear a mass journeys eminent saying so, investors looked into the George Washington is to institute for selling bullshit stuff

it turns out, he had way overvalued the school when he starts selling or giving out stock and so arrest warrants are issued for him and basically he said the schools were one hundred grand, but it's only worth twelve hundred. So that's a big difference bit of a difference bit of a difference so nothing he he's arrested. Sorry arrest warrants are issued for them, nothing is known about the result of the charges or if he had to pay back the students' earnings. Just a lot of cases that happen here where rested some and then it's kind of drift away. Flights has their third kid in October, and this is when Napoleon related report that present

what are we ll soon came to him to ask for help with world war. One way- and I mean I know it's bullshit, but even in his bullshit, it's based on what that is. The Justin says he gets stuff when he runs the college that he's got the goods share. Yeah. Ok, Wilson offered to pay him a lot of money but Napoleon refused. Any payment was essentially just the date this guy does it he's not after money. This is not a guy who's. After this, he doesn't do this for cash. That, to be honest, it's a little offensive that president Joe Wilson would even try tried to give him a man whose heart bleeds in blue. I mean the the that's right, the the pole, In this vein, as that of the STAR Spangled banner, I mean he does, he is. He is patriotism, personified.

So now when what is some want. What is he doing? Well, we are really not sure we just now that he wanted to appoint involved in this investigation. So again I went winners like winners. That's at some point said he made propaganda for Wilson to fire up Americans working to make weapons for the war and and then he was there in in the oval office the day when President Wilson got word that the Germans were surrendering, the Germans have spread during Napoleon. What's a good battle plan, so whatever Wilson, president of the United States of America, then as two point, four, some tips on what you put in the terms to end World WAR one and that Poland told him quote

I would ask whether the request for an armistice has been made on behalf of the german people or the german warlords, and President Wilson said quote of course course finger. There we go. Why not? Also just you know, tell a bunch of guys that they're just going to go to soldier camp and then drop them off in the war Obviously, none of this happened. What in he came over there for a future biography? Another problem this account- is that Napoleon had already written about what he did on Armistice day in in you called Napoleon's Hills magazine Well, you gotta be careful quote. Like most other people, I became as drunk with enthusiasm,

enjoy that day as any man ever did on wine. I was practically penniless, but I was happy to know that the slaughter was over and the reason about to spread its a beneficent wings over the earth once more well rain, so allow a guy like this can be two places yet and nitrogen. Eighty Napoleon started Hills Golden Rule Magazine He got involved in a stock selling scheme for an oil company that was owned by a Texas couple, so he almost like a time. Traveling Lenny Dykstra dread feels like so he would put ads in his magazine to to boost their stock and get people to buy their stock and this led to a boy in being charged with fraudulent advertising. Rain turns out. He had seen a bunch of magazines over the years, and he used them

to get word out about whatever he want it have. Given him that typewriter, let him stick to his He's like a dude who started a bunch of blocks. Your twitter accounts or no, you start yeah. It's exactly a starts, a ton of profiles, yeah yeah, and then he talks to it. you like rights to himself in his. I did everything you do. Is unbelievable. Noise, like thanks man, but I don't do it for the accolades. like he, both people now the gold golden rule magazine was something he was always going to preach. Sli a version of it. It's a karma type thing where, if you help others good stuff comes back to you a lot of times, I suppose money share and that's and that's the code. That's the code he's live by That's right so Napoleon soon realized he could get his name in the press by giving awards for the golden Rule,

the golden rule, metal, the Golden Rule Award Church in nineteen. Twenty two. He gave a golden met, golden rule metal to a chiropractor who just eat out. Woodrow Wilson, after a hundred and fifty thousand magazine subscribers vote. It was so and what that means. the so there's one hundred and fifty thousand magazines grabbers around the country and there's some names on their budgets. We choose a local chiropractor over the President of the United States, yeah sure, right and and Dave was the chiropractor close to him.

Activity to wear Napoleon was guess. He was in the same year. Seems that's interesting that so interesting, because I would have guessed that so that so I mean and for a clearer practice that has to be really excited. You know oh yeah, here you are a kind of practical and you ve beat not the President Mandela. big. This huge yeah yeah. You can almost like frame that and put it up in your office and tell yeah I mean if you but again my guess is nobody's going to need that. No, I don't think so, the press fell for it and ran with the story. It was operated all over the. U S. There are pictures of Napoleon handing out golden rule awards that will keep happening over and over again in ninety twenty in a boiling in another shit. Willy Wonka gets

twenty two, the boy in another man, started the Intra Wall Correspondence School. So it's it's! A charity sharing and ensure its it's too edge it prisoners in Ohio prisons to help them live a decent life when they get out course. He also pushed to get one specific Oh, oh ho inmate released. He was a czech forger and it worked and the immediate got out and then quickly began running the chair turns out. The whole charity was the forgers idea. L A but it's weird I mean it is it's. It's curious you for that. To be your first hire, oh by the way, can we At forgery, guy that you have locked up for forgery, I want him to be involved in my business, so I mean Napoleon just runs with in the late nineteen twenties. The articles were written about Napoleon his debts and all the people

trying to find it using the charity to fill his pockets was covered in the articles at the time he was touring the country seeking charity donations, Novak wrote quote his constant movement around the country was not necessarily out of wonder, of course, but rather to stay one step ahead of the law in an article about him, bilking churches and even getting kids to pitch in was written this guy me, but he but like he's, learned no lessons. So there's no bottom! Well, there's no lesson and then I mean he's going to she's, getting like a thousand dollars at a church and then just living off of it right, like it's. Just free money, yeah well, I'd I'd, rather look at it like God's money. If that's okay, because he That's right. He does because it's a guy, it's a guy and he lives in a clap got. But through

So he's doing this all of the country, another article covered how the prison had not received a penny and so on. Is that Napoleon then says it's not me? warden and the prison chaplain are corrupt and he Also blamed it on the check forger. in a higher and the new order is set back to jail, No allegiance or alliance in anyway is tossing. A war minor now he's. Also this whole time he's he's he's doing the interviews that Carnegie set up and as these are ongoing There's no evidence that any art interview ever happened except one photo of Napoleon with Thomas Edison, oh okay, weird, This is looking at the camera and and

it has turned sideways looking at Edison so like they were happy, a good conversation like at your chat, it looks like it looks like they were talking, for a second and then someone yelled, pay Addison Addison turned and looked, and then someone snapped. Can I really, it to Ivanka whenever she goes to any head of state thing she just sort of is like the hey. Can I be in the picture. While I pretend to talk we're pretending to tell watermelon watermelon I watermelon watermelon watermelon watermelon watermelon watermelon, watermelon, watermelon watermelon watermelon by Angela Merkel, Watermelon just introduce watermelon watermelon. In December nineteen, twenty three: the specialities salesman magazine, learned how the photo and happen qualitative sent a press.

El sent a press agent over to announce that Mister Hale, one of the leading magazine writers, wished to attend the Edison convention of dealers. Of course he was he was allowed He was a magazine writer and then what very asked, Edison Depose with him a request. He can hardly refuse at that point. In Edison, a golden rule, metal and quote Edison. Return, the metal without comment. Finally, how you're supposed to react? Mr Edison, I know you've won many things and have had more patents granted than anyone in history, but here's your golden diploma. from the school of course talk the boy, and I had a photo, though, that he could use any they sent it out with life, and with that that is like, You can approve anything as you can see. Clearly I met with Carnegie and I'm on the investigator path of seventeen. Like minded geniuses, here's a European Edison he built

a story round it and he would send it out with the the leading line, the two leave two of America's most famous man, so dude. How much would he have crushed instagram? I mean this dude would have slaughtered Instagram Oh he's fat. You all the way he's that united as a general fact, yeah yeah just steals, and It's people over just as like in places where it's like hey. I am big hashtag right guess so he had no other phone as a proof of any other man that he met, because he said are all burned in a fire. Yes, you don't understand they burned in the great fire of bullshit. Girlfriend is in Canada. I tell you, I have a girlfriend in Canada, she's great been in her, come out and look at the letters. It's not me writing.

dad it so. The nineteen twenty eight Napoleon tracks down publisher, Andrew pelted, now pelting published self help books from the new thought movement, which is what Nepal It was part of ok. The main idea of the new thought movement was that quote: ideas and thoughts have direct and material actions upon the world. Sure so thoughts have meaning, I guess, as the move or you could turn your thoughts into words. Using your mind, you can become successful. I like how this was not a known fact. ass, a patent said he would publish the book law of success was released into the world. It can't, all the interviews with the famous man Napoleon had conducted

and all the stuff about how he he hangs out and talks about great men and then and then how he did it and how they did it, and it's just all wrapped up in this. sort of bullshit theory of loan. You can make. What do you want to look at me? I made it all up. I mean I made it. I made it so it Ralph money starts coming in and then it really starts coming in and one thousand nine hundred and twenty nine he starts making around thirty five thousand a month in today's money. He buys a rolls Royce huge house with six hundred acres in the Catskills. Spending more money than his royalties. one, twenty nine is a great time to be great time. That's be, he bought spring, eight with a bunch of other investors, with the idea that they would turn it into the quote. Worlds: First University sized Success School, the. What what I mean it it's like it is true.

the more words the harder it is to track, but I still There's no substance. What is the? What is this nonsense called so great University sized Success school. So it's worth it's okay, Are other institutions like scuse me that feels like infringing upon what we do know we're going to like breed success? Will we do that? We're harbour? We do But this is I understand, but this is different. We're going to like preach it and we want people to have a success you don't say it, but that's exactly when you don't say it. That's the thing! You don't say it. You don't say it, but we set it. Huh

It's weird, how Harvard is full of all these smart people, and yet you guys didn't say it and and gosh I did say it self God. What does that make me? I guess that makes me smarter than Harvard. Doesn't it because I said it stupid by the way I just wanted to give you a golden rule plumber. This is one hundred percent bullion wow. Thank you. Is hundred percent, but what we call bendable boulier, so new product are working on factually figured out a way to make bullion vendible and we figured out way to make silver in to water parks, so Yeah, that's what we're doing. I know, however, does logical stuff too. We get a lot of stuff cooking here we made birthday cake that flies his distance selling, successful: this is with a sort of stuff that wins.

again Harvard I'm not asking you to take our idea, but it sounds like you're just not willing to keep up We do you guys even have floating toilets y know. If someone dies on your campus, are they dead forever yeah that yeah? Okay? So that's again another difference. We don't have that at our school. If someone passes away at our school, we just bring them back to life, so wish we're shutting down Harvard. Because of this conversation hm centrist think. Well, nobody likes a quarter. Well, if you're not doing anything, you come over to my school and learn how to know what an actual university yeah good things we. have a dolphin man and we also now have you know we do we do and where the first school that has made finger Else for police cars

now. They have nail fingernail human fingernails on them, so it's easier to get into places a barricades and whatnot, anyway, loving you guys are doing so our I will see you later. I have a little something for you in my pocket. It's my middle finger. Yes, I also admitted that the other day was just sitting around. I decided a new thing. I'm going to do is tell people. I have one more thing to show bullet my middle finger and look at the look I did dub face right Fatah I stole a bunch of pencils, Why. so Francis and the boys come to the. Firstly, and so Napoleon goes onto her shirt course, expense and then Wall Street crashes, great depression comes

a few months later, the house is weird how lizard a stock market used to reflect the economy. In a strange thing, a few months later. The house is in for closure. Florence move back to us for Junior and Napoleon has I was in New York and he states they are working on his next book, which is called the magic ladder to success. Oh god, and when that comes out his biography, his biographers called it quote stillborn. Hopefully how to not a good term for a book. Now it's I've never heard. So then Napoleon decides to get in the movies. He wants to get high school kids come up with a way to adapt the law of success into a film If he's looking for a free crew, well, what he wants

is actually to all these kids to compete for the prize Whoever has the best idea, but what it really is is he just is trying to figure out a way to get all the kids to buy his book. Oh wow, even weirder, honestly like what a weird little yes, he ends up producing a Mormon movie and when the more or movies in production, and does he wait as he still born again it's when the movies and production the investors were asking for the production company to be put into receivership, so I shooting at people like shut it down. that's right but then again this moment, this film is about climbing the ladder to success in some way not but just all Morbus pure it's just climbing the ladder to God. Ok and It's a huge hit in Utah, but nowhere else, obviously so

it goes back to. He starts doing different magazines and finding people to invest going from city to city doing scheme after scheme. Now later he would claim this is when, after you are asked him to help, get Americans more confident about the economy, again sure right he's the guy yeah. Well, I mean well supply recommended. oh yeah. Now this is weird because Napoleon is actually a huge conservative, but he said his ideas made their way to empty into FDR new deal. Sure she she oh, and he also said he. now put the phrase. We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Oh, my God is guy And by the way that it's I mean, I just I said it and someone wrote it down. I don't even remember really saying it, but I definitely sat up and in a way Dave he's lived his life by

My daddy come up with its right. So an idea five Florence had found they had it and she filed for divorce. He still goes out he's doing Torreon speaking the next year, he's speaking in Knoxville and after Words Rosa bill and introduce yourself to him and they chatted, and then they agreed to meet again the next day and Rosalie describes the Man quote, when I arrived, he met me at the elevator, escorted me to his study and without inviting me to be seen It started immediately to tell me his story. We talked for more than five hours. We compared notes and spoke very plainly and frankly before I left, we were engaged, oh, I god what the fuck honest to God. This is the guy

to open a car selling university. Really she was like I just paid to fifteen a man and a down payment, then I can be you for the rest of my life, wow Is this your new girl, Emily singer, so they do enough and the idea was to protect the royalty money from people he had swindled over the years and Florence, so he in the prenup signs over all of his book royalties to Rosalie. Okay,. they get married very quickly and together they start working on his next book, which will be called, think and grow rich. But. they have no money, so they go to New York. Has he read his book? He should we live partner is read all his books.

So I have no money, so they go to live with one of his sons, the only son who will talk to them Blair and his wife, who live in Hell's kitchen in New York, okay, but while they're there he's verbally abusive to his daughter in law, socially Dave, if you're in Hell's kitchen you're supposed to be verbally abusive. I agree it's the premise of the show so she leaves and goes back to West Virginia and then a few days later, Blair follows her down there, but before Blair goes, he loans, his dad three hundred dollars. Okay, so Polian and Rosalee are now free to work. Did it get by without the annoying couple who actually lives in the apartment? Bothering right great, perfect.

So she's, really good at organizing his thoughts and stuff into a book form, and then health and publishes it in nineteen. Thirty, seven now people, it's the middle of depression. People are really hurting, and then here comes this book telling them they can get rich using just their thoughts. Probably a pretty enticing yeah. The a huge success people wanted a way out of their desperate state during the great depression, and he's saying we just take positive thinking, visualization and hard work. That's it bad luck, everybody so he's making money again, cuz the royalties. He start spending money again he's buying fancy cars, expensive clothes. He buys a huge Florida state roses, buying clothes and jewelry. They have a staff at the house, they're spending again

I mean faster than it comes in right and then to get a little taste of who Rosalie is out of nowhere. She says But our two Blair tauntingly detailing the rich life, their living. and then Blair responds and demands his three hundred dollars and no one replied. It's called family yeah. That's how you're supposed to do it. That's how that's a good! That's a good dad, yeah. Now I'm going out for cigarettes, By nineteen thirty nine they're broke creditors, sniffing around She's writing a book on her own called. How to add man and money. Why?

Napoleon tours! I don't I it! Can you ban someone from writing a book yeah? It is time it is one hundred percent time to give attention to rekindle book sales. They make an announcement. They say they are going to adopt fifteen children and would raise them without the terrible parenting that was currently plaguing America, oh god. No! This is This is this. Is this is terrible, I mean this is like this is like Tiger King shit Tiger king. I can't watch stuff like that. Dave you! It's really. If you like watching animals be tortured, it is seen good ideas. You watch, I don't you should read my book so

the Kansas City STAR, was given an interview and the star said they said they had a housekeeper with who had a young daughter, Jean and Jean wasn't getting quote a proper upbringing. So they took her in shared and after that they decided will its keep doing this and that day, that's how they video to adopt fifteen kids between two and five years old cat. What I'm an what lake what, if you were, I mean if you were to paint a nightmare for me. I think you just did it that like what, but even in the world of bullshit pick another. You know, angle, yeah, besides Jean there supposed to be orphans, but.

the one rule is that they could not have been living in an orphanage that is going to make it okay, what somebody are you just like flipping over boxes on the street? Butts free range babies? Yeah right exactly but they're free range. You can eat their eggs. so the plan is basically to get some okay, so obviously they're looking for like more polished children, and they never followed through their just telling the story out there, and course everybody reads it: they're just want people to remember that the there to celebrate a k, since it ok James,

Bee Shaffer was born in eighteen, thirty, six in Michigan, and he moved to New York around nineteen thirty, and then he founded the Royal fraternity of the master meta physicians, which is also part of the new thought movement: okay, great name yeah. What is the new thought movement? So the basic idea was the mind: could change everything around it? If you could imagine it, it can become real, oh god, so right, so we just written a secret thirty five times by the mid nineteen thirty's Schaefer had a huge following and was packing Carnegie Hall. Every Sunday morning he had around ten thousand followers, while in nineteen thirty eight the cold. At a one hundred room mansion on Long Island which that got a lot of attention, but

people didn't seem that freaked out, because they're really not harmful Then, in nineteen thirty nine the Cole announced they wanted to raise an immortal. Alright, I'm good. I think I think we've found our moment so so they're, just going to live the plot of ghostbusters, two, essentially unofficially adopted a baby girl Who is five of this poor poor child they're just going to Dalai Lama her this gets a shitload national attention why Dave? What about this is huge rather than a model? It's a five muddled she's, a

now, so they they plan to raise the girl with a vegetarian diet and only positive thoughts, which would turn her immortal. I want a moms out. That's a possible can help. Basically, the way this was, anyone could actually become immortal mortal if they just thought hard enough. They were going to start with a baby and work from there. just to be safe, make it a lock, not the zone they're, a writer e g, con Junior went to the court's mansion and nineteen forty and spent twenty four hours there to read an article four, the new Yorker. He wrote that thinking get rich was one of their main texts quote the most revered text, which was didn't by a member named Napoleon Hill, and

metaphysicians regard as gospel. The book is actually called think and grow rich, but they got it wrong in he got be pride and are now here's like. I think that was it. I don't remember. He reported Schaefer, went to the in thirty nine forty world's fair in New York and demanded officials dig up the Westinghouse Time Capsule, so he could put a paper of Baby Jesus's. Sorry, baby jeans footprints. In This had to be cut down, because Baby Jean would be the only human alive when it was opened in sixty nine forty? Well, I mean that part might be true that yeah that's hard to argue with, but yeah. That's a. I mean that dates way off. I think did they mean? Did they made twenty ninety. Now it's sixty nine forty eight, when they're they're pretty on the day. Okay, I'm pretty sure. Okay,

if you're, also a film baby gene with a movie camera, while the reporter watched and they had the baby in the baby's crib, posing with a copy of think and grow rich. Like God, It's a baby like the butcher just be called, think or grow or grow Ro Shaver, savers, a guy who believed what he was saying, but he was also super into money and women within the cult. There is a secret male society named the storks. No god I don't even want to fucking know call within a call. The storks took care of young unmarried women and their babies.

Go archivist in the area quote for an extra five hundred and you had to be male and you had to wear a diaper pin on your lapel what you could make lights and full diapers for unwed mothers. I don't even want to say what Well, he sort of Meda Diaper party situation with its main issues. May he made a diaper department and there's a diaper department who have special lapel? there. You are dependent on air or able, and you paint with you, pay five hundred or you get five. You pay you pay iron hundred to go change. Diapers yeah, you, you become a diaper boy for I have hundred dollars. Is there something more nefarious yeah there must be, and what's the angle, the angle is it's fuckin hot? Oh, my god, look at that

yeah boy. I really had to go he's eating a lot of carrots huh, alright, alright! Well, I paid for this so cool to see I mean that would be like nine nine thousand dollars today is about what that is to hang out and put diapers on full diapers. Okay, anyway, those the storks so they're, all those guys. This guy's Carolina killing children, another cold also ran schemes, Schaefer, sold stock options between one hundred and four hundred rich people who came making some life secret would have valuables go while they were there. Weird one woman, one woman, two rings with five thousand go missing and she told Schaefer and he said quote: nothing is lost in the incident. You can think them back in your experience. How thank God,

so now, Napoleon and Rosalie marriage is collapsing, he's never home. She thought he was cheating and hired a private investigator nest. a book how to attract money and men was published. She hired a divorce lawyer and the p must confront it. While he was traveling, she sold everything that they own and so now Napoleon Napoleon. Yeah, okay. She then went and married the divorce layer. Oh good, Lord, that guy was like, and also if you want to come over later, we can kind of get over. Some of the finer detail points I really I know how hard it is right now we're in some really really small shorts. I think that's it just push hard cash.

Divorce. I call them divorce shorts. That's what I call into florets, and I I mean I would love to come over, but I just am so raw emotionally got to. I got a big tub of Dubois called divorce tablets where you can relax after your divorce. This is purely just you getting me through Meda force, yeah yeah yeah. I know this is actually what the board has everything in practice or otherwise no! No! No! No! No! This is completely out of percent somewhat divorce. Lawyer is part of our job. I've never been divorced before so I can. Massages massage is perhaps I didn't know what the tub is hot, take off your clothes, just whatever would take off take off your coat Ok, see everything cigars is. If I wait if I go to another attorney, this is the same. You have is divorced, this is going to happen with any any divorce attorney this just standard Florida.

gets you the retainer money and I'll head over for the hot tub? Okay, great great critic? Okay, we ain't be in you. Some of the phrasing seems sort Its legal adviser, again legal, its giants, jargon, would answer that make sense. Ok, all right! Well, everything feels like it's on the up and up here, yet just gonna motorboat utilities. Legally speaking, yes, right! Ok, because otherwise what but but yeah? No. I wouldn't just say that if I wasn't your attorney, I would never say that right, okay, all right! Well, good! I get a I get a bad feeling so I'll be I'll! See you later. That said by the later say about by album out loud, I'm not nervous because of you. I'm not I I'm so freaked out over the whole thing. It's just a lot

It can be hard yeah. It's so large, it's just very confusing. Okay, thank you! So much by fucking, weird behind so so Napoleon with no money and nothing. He decides what to do so. He goes to Florence is house and his ex wife. Money out. Jesus Christ. Look we're not getting back together how to climb the money ladder, but I don't need money. give it to me. she's watched him get rich from afar right like is, and now he's gone. He came back to give us some money. Finally, and money. So for some reason she didn't give it to them might've, because he took three hundred from Blair but anyway, whatever

one thousand eight hundred and forty one, the mother of Baby Jean. It said she had been coerced into giving up her baby and she wanted her baby back and she went to the press. So now the two year old Immortal had to be returned Its mother Dave, shall lose Oliver Goddamn powers item forty one she's going well, Oliver powers her manner. immortals have power. I think once you're immortal you're immortal, I don't think it reverses. I dunno! Well, I guess the question is at what age is a immortal position conceived. True good question, see A lot of people think removing a two year old, while in the state, of immortality is taking a life. That's why I'm throw a mortal. I am right, I'm problematical I believe that I believe that a more I believe that immortality starts at the

conception of the idea of immortality. That's right and I believe anything beside and a lot of people out of these left wing lunatics thinks that it think that a ITALY. Doesn't he doesn't until about you, ten or eleven years old, but no it's not what's in the Bible or not. Now it is in the Bible. It clearly states what I'm saying. I don't even need to reveal the passage. What's the passenger exactly so the baby coming I called in the first place, was sort of the end of the cold to kind of freaked out a lot of the court members sure we have a baby, so no just that, let's all I dunno fucking, I dunno who's got milk. What's going on here,

shavers strongest followers that point we're like we just jump monarch, The money had already started driving out up, so it turns out Napoleon. Schaefer had actually known each other for quite a while Napoleon had come to in December, nineteen, thirty nine he wanted Schaefer to go in on buying sex. ecology magazine for two point: five thousand each Schaefer then turned to a rich cult. Member for the money three years later in eighteen, forty two of the rich called member realise that she had been swindle and she charge Schaefer with grand larceny. And, of course, and they looked into it, it turns out the turn of shaper had just kept the money and not bought the magazine, and he ended up pleading guilty. Okay, he was given a five year sentence.

The judge called him a quote: a thief: a next Klansman who swindled his own organization, a spiritual, faker, a religious hypocrite who's been a loose preying on misguided women for too long that I meant that felt like a five year sentence. It's interesting, so they both have They might be so first deploy and had the they're just get a bunch of kids idea and then Does it they're both named Jean my clearly? They were just working together here. They just went solo for a minute, Napoleon moved to South Carolina and fell in love with and fell in, not gonna the volume of South Carolina and fell in with a guy who was still really angry about losing the civil war here, Presbyterian College, so you re felt he ran into every guy. So he met his next wife.

Annie, Lou Norman and then he published another book called mental dynamite. Finally, finally, it's getting weird shit mental dynamite also failed, but he did say: Gandhi had ordered copies of it and that Gandhi, hired investigators to watch him and find out and if he was the real deal, because the book was gonna be distributed across India, it at some point Do you get a little worried that you know maybe there's some psycho just get like, maybe that it's just genuinely like he's just out doing himself. Really, I don't think that their psychosis, I just think he is a world class.

Boucher, I mean maybe there's some narcissistic shit going on here yeah, but I'm saying like he doesn't he's that, like Gandhi, but I don't think he's: okay, it's yeah! It's just to fill. Pushes you know chicken so he moved to California. He has a radio show. He kicks around try and more schemes. At one point he hooked up with a rich insurance guy in nineteen. Fifty two and then Donald Trump's former pastor Norman Vincent Peale, published his popular book, the power of positive thinking and he credited and credited. Polian and the insurance guy with helping him write it. Oh my god, it's funny em! It's not funny but it is like the whole. All you can keep. Thinking is like in today's world, this guy with a hundred percent being government and be doing pretty well

Those him in the insurance guy started a fake charity and they started a new magazine called access. Unlimited Napoleon hatred, I take it outside the? U S and it goes Australia and New Zealand other countries. It's it's not really catching on. Well, surely Gandhi would want to distribute it. That's right! you think so I mean you hide the pies yeah, so Schaefer got out of prison and tried to get his followers. back by lecturing and writing, but it just not happening in nineteen fifty five Schaefer and his wife, dead in their car and New York. It was a double suicide, crazy that journalists to read this article. This is based the spot gases based on met, no back filed a freedom of informed

shouldn't act request for files on Schaefer on December, twenty ninth, two thousand and fourteen, and then he gets a letter setting all records relating to the request were destroyed on December, twenty ninth, two thousand and fourteen, so they felt the need who wants to sell? I mean, I guess, that's how you mean. I guess that's how you say no to using the freedom of from Asian, actually yeah there's not any more, but when was it destroyed? Second, you asked we burn it, there's nothing That's other animal headed handled spy gate. Where was like where's the tapes? Can we burn them? It's like what the jury said. We fucked up now. What are you going to do? Look clearer the FBI F, whoever the fuck it is knows how to, immortals! That's what this is. That's what this meme! Oh, no, that would be terrible days in nineteen sixty

Napoleon published a new book written with his insurance buddy called success through a positive mental attitude. Soon after he split from the in guy and tried to sell the site. Of success course by light, sing them for other people to teach, but mostly this really struggle to get by. He died, Greenville South Carolina on November eighth, one thousand nine hundred and seventy, and then his wife had to fight with a charity he had set up Point Health Foundation over of his estate wow so when he's gone like hit like his estate is just like. Now now we're working on its game made. He set up a drift in them. Grifters he set it up with are like. Oh, let's fuck, this woman out or whatever I just ain't. He the perfect, ending right right, yeah, they've little vac.

No vat quote foundation. Managers were building the supposedly non profit organization out of money and had squeezed Miss Hill out after Napoleon died.
