HOW SWEET

TERRORIST CLUES
I have more terrorist stuff if anyone (such as President Obama - see my last few blogs) is listening, this time from 2002, and will go into sufficient enough detail that it should be a cinch for someone to investigate - this being part of the reason for my reluctance to provide it in so public a forum (the heads-up this will give to the living clues and others). However, as I stated before, by the time someone in law enforcement figures out that my information is worthy of being taken seriously because of the fact that I truly am a secret super VIP ala Spielberg and McCartney, enough so that terrorists would choose my "doorstep" to leave things on as part of an effort to "get to" (in the psychological sense, terror being a psychological state) those at the center of American "culture", the entire world could end three times over and still have time leftover to stand on line at the DMV (one familiar with the DMV should actually be able to visualize the entire world there, on line ahead of you). I cannot wait any longer. As always, this information requires you to put things together, incorporating a context based on knowledge, not ignorant presumption. This isn't algebra, it is simple arithmetic. As such, the "numbers" taken individually do not point to the existence of a larger, sum total picture. And yes, I am aware that some of these facts have few witnesses, in some instances only one - myself. Yet by now I must certainly have earned enough credibility that such "flimsy" evidence (myself as the only witness) warrants investigation nevertheless:

1. On May 21, 2002 I sent an email* to actor John Lithgow (about to star on Broadway in "Sweet Smell of Success"), referencing his sister, SJ, who had been part of my "crowd" back in 1969 when I was in the ninth grade (her boyfriend was my best friend - Bruce Conover, who is now Senior Producer at CNN, and at one time the primary liaison for journalists embedded with American military in Iraq). Someone else who was part of the larger "hippie-ish" crowd I was in during the ninth grade was a girl named Terry Barton (the first girl I ever slow-danced with!!!).

2. On June 8, 2002 a different Terry Barton (yet from her name sure to evoke in me a recollection of ninth grade) was responsible for the biggest fire in Colorado's history. According to the news stories, the fire resulted accidentally from when "she was burning a letter from her estranged husband".

3. In an episode of the NBC TV show, "Friends" (I have referred to some of my connections to this show from time to time in previous blogs and on YouTube), "The One with the Candy Hearts", which first aired February 9, 1995, the girls "burn all the objects that are connected to the guys they have dated. But that turns out to become an arson."

4. July 4, 2002 was the first 4th of July following 9/11/01, and as such, everyone in the U.S. was extra-alert to the possibility that this would be enough to trigger another attack. Knowing that my "doorstep" counted with such types, I was extra-extra-extra-alert (but not so alert as to imagine things). On the evening of July 3, 2002 (as I recall I was at a fast food rest-stop somewhere east of LA and west of Phoenix), I saw the only thing during that three-day weekend that I considered worth noting, though it was nothing I considered very much worth noting at the time (as so often happens when important things occur): a license plate that included the word, "Nile". As the expression goes, the Nile is not just a river in (the Middle Eastern country) Egypt, though in this instance, I made a faint mental note of it for a reason beyond it's Egyptian significance: Niles was the name of the co-star on the NBC TV show, "Frasier", and David Angell, a creator, writer and producer of that same TV show, was the one and only celebrity killed by being a passenger on one of the planes on 9/11/01 (and we are nothing if not a celebrity-oriented society). I am reasonably sure the "Nile" license plate was either from Arizona, Nevada or California.

5. On July 4, 2002, we got our focus for the extra-alert the news media had put us on: An Egyptian killed several people in LAX. The anecdotal part of the news story we were given to chew on about this terrorist:

"Neighbors said Hadayet lived quietly, but became incensed when an upstairs neighbor hung large American and Marine Corps flags from a balcony above his front door after Sept. 11. 'He complained about it to the apartment manager. He thought it was being thrown in his face,' said another neighbor, Steve Thompson. The upstairs neighbor declined to comment."

6. On January 15, 2002 the NBC TV show "Frasier" aired the episode, "Mother Load, Part 2" for the first time, in which the following occurred:

"After Cam Winston dropped a huge American flag over Frasier's entire apartment window, Frasier takes his grievance to the condo board meeting."

*Dear Mr. Lithgow:
As you know, I knew your sister SJ in Princeton in the 9th grade when Bruce Conover, her boyfriend, was my best friend. Interestingly, a very long time ago when I saw the movie "IQ", which is set in Princeton and which includes Einstein as a character, I noticed something that reminded me of something that SJ knows about. Then, a while back when I went to see a taping of your show "Third Rock From The Sun", they had a guy who looked distinctly like Einstein putting people through the metal detector. Finally, a short time ago I went to see "Star Wars II". Again they had that thing that SJ knows about. As the title of your television show brings to mind someone trying to explain how to find a planet, as one would give directions, and as that very thing became a significant issue in "Star Wars II", I am demanding from you a free Star Wars lunchbox. [Incidentally, I very much enjoyed in the "Third Rock" series finale the reference to my written but as-yet unfilmed, "Kalorping for Gosk, Part III" . Also incidentally, while I was a film student at CalArts, Alexander "Sandy" MacKendrick (then Film School Dean/teacher) had us study a movie he directed, "The Sweet Smell Of Success". At one point I took a leave of absence to work for Village Voice columnist, Howard Smith, John Lennon's friend, in the Brill Building (where "Sweet Smell" was filmed). It was during this time that Lennon released a song that included the words, "Sweet as the smell of success".]
Sincerely,
Jonathan D. Steinhoff, Burbank

Footnote to John Lennon reference in above email:
I omitted the fact that Lennon not only inside-references on "Walls and Bridges" the Sandy Mackendrick/Burt Lancaster movie, "Sweet Smell of Success", but Lancaster's "Rainmaker" as well, thus confirming context, e.g., if I said, "Couples are odd when one is a grumpy old man", one perceives a clear Jack Lemmon/Walter Mathau reference, but to just only say "couples are odd when" or to only say "grumpy old man", one would not necessarily be contextualizing in the mind of those with only basic knowledge of Lemmon/Mathau, and thus no Lemmon/Matthau reference would be apparent.

As I've stated before, I do not believe any of the people directly connected to the clues I've encountered are to be linked to anything, I believe they are pawns, with information.


NOT LIVE FROM BROOKLYN, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT
As I've pointed out many times before, Saturday Night Live often finds use for my stuff:



My "An Irishman Visits Ralph Kramden's Brooklyn" was posted on YouTube and on Archive.org September 1, 2009.

JOLIE PART
The context of my being face-to-face with Angelie Jolie (Brad Pitt wife) from cars yesterday on Sunset Boulevard a few blocks from the "Surrogates" movie billboard in which Jolie is shown from the middle up: my previous, September 30, 2009 blog regarding Jennifer Aniston (ex-wife of Brad Pitt), which in turn regarded my September 27th blog regarding Jen-friend Courteney Cox Arquette and Steinhoff "Gosk" star and Arquette friend, Robbie Cavolina. Jolie was stopped opposite me as I drove by, thus offering me an opportunity for a degree of scrutiny (for lack of a better word), and if it was not her, this woman unquestionably was meant to appear to be her (this is a less obscure concept for those who live in the real world).
