Subject: $40 million settlement – Re: Knuff Vs Gevisser – CASE NUMBER: 37-2011-00088438-CU-EN-CTL
The criminal fraud that your client, neurologically impaired ex CIA officer Charles Knuff has perpetrated, helped greatly by your corrupt, Dallas liar-lawyer colleague Alan Loewinsohn, has me requesting the California Superior Court to not only vacate the illegal DEFAULT JUDGEMENT/ DEATH SENTENCE of $4 million which is absurd on the face of it since a DEFAULT JUDGEMENT can only be granted if I fail to show up and/or did not respond which I did more than adequately which is at the crux of your egregiously retaliatory conduct, but to punish you all with ten times the amount and the $40 million being only the start, and for criminal proceedings to begin immediately, and of course all of you should be disbarred and Texas Judge Martin Lowy thrown off the bench.
Long before now there should have been a bench warrant ordered for the arrest of rogue CIA agent Charles Knuff given all the physical threats this coward of cowards has thrown my way as he first went about intimidating the main defendant Adam Lee Tucker who is also Jewish.
It is my belief and supported by the transcripts of the January 21, 2011 that Judge Martin Lowy when not able to find any evidence against of defamation thought that maybe this “Jewish business” was the defamation.
Cutting and pasting page 35 line 6 – 13:
[Loewinsohn] Q. Have you also had to explain these various postings by Gary Gevisser to friends and relatives?
[Knuff] A. Yes. Specifically, my wife is Jewish, and there are a number of references to training PLO terrorists to kill the Israeli athletes, and it’srather uncomfortable.
Q. And has this in fact caused you embarrassment?
A. Yes, it has.
Cutting and pasting page 39 line 13 – 20]:
THE COURT: Are you in fact Jewish, sir?
MR. KNUFF: No, sir, I am not.
THE COURT: Do you consider the statement that you are Jewish to be defamatory?
MR. KNUFF: I would only consider it tobe incorrect.
THE COURT: All right. Mr. Loewinsohn, what do you have in mind?
Let’s now go back page 37 line 13 – 20]
THE COURT: Mr. Loewinsohn, can you direct me to any place in these exhibits where itspecifically says that Mr. Knuff trained PLO terrorists?
MR. LOEWINSOHN: These particular exhibits, I do not believe do, Your Honor. But theremay be — I don’t know if I have them highlighted. Mr. Knuff may know.
MR. KNUFF: Yeah, I believe — I don’t know if it’s in this particular stack, but there isdefinitely specific statements relating to that. Give me just a minute to look through these.
THE COURT: I think I have looked at all the highlighted portions. I didn’t see anything of that nature.
MR. LOEWINSOHN: That may not have been a category I specifically identified for the purposes of highlighting among the vast amount of information,Your Honor.
THE COURT: Mr. Knuff —
MR. KNUFF: Yes, sir.
THE COURT: — has the FBI or any otherlaw enforcement agency contacted you to investigate any of these allegations by Mr. Gevisser?stories based
MR. KNUFF: No, they haven’t.
THE COURT: Has 60 Minutes broadcast any upon these allegations by Mr. Gevisser?
MR. KNUFF: No, they haven’t.
THE COURT: Can you tell me that youhave specifically lost any business relationship or transaction as a result of these postings by Mr. Gevisser?
MR. KNUFF: Not at the present time, sir.
Again, I have never published or said anything defamatory against Knuff, and the proof is in his inability to provide the evidence, which according to the rules of the court are his responsibility since he brought the charges.
For there to be defamation not only does the plaintiff have to prove the statement are false, but that the person making them knows them to be false and finally the plaintiff has to provide proof of damages. Knuff failed on all 3 counts.
It takes just one person to turn you all in.
It could be your wife, your girlfriend, a business partner who just doesn’t like your professional lack of ethics, and may in fact be more corrupt but decides to get the first punch in, or someone you just dont know, even much richer Mr. Jeffrey R. Krinsk could decide to come clean, or his partner, former US Attorney Howard Finkelstein who is not quite as cash rich as Mr. Krinsk who of course I know much better than you.
i depend on no one but my French-Canadian wife, Marie Dion Gevisser and truth-G-d-logic, and that is everything.
It is all of you who increasingly have your backs to the wall
and knowing that every step you take backwards until reaching the wall you are having to constantly look over your soldier to see who you have screwed along the way.
I wouldn’t trade places with any of you for the obvious reasons.
You can read the transcripts as well as anyone since you did manage to finish law school and pass the bar exam which didn’t make your professors good for not teaching you about the Bankers Manifesto of July 4, 1892 which made the 434 day intimidation voyage of the Great White Fleet possible and most effective thanks to the bankers owning both the Republican and Democratic Party without their leadership explaining that the voters would be divided and arguing over nonsense, allowing the bankers-politicians to be teachers to the common herd.
So is the shame on the law professors or you, since you may have known ahead of them and they might feel that you had a fiduciary responsibility to inform them so they could teach the next generation of first year law students the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
You want to play by just rules that work for you, but we are a democracy and majorty rule still rules “especialy” (sic) if the majority have the truth backing them and all you have all are you denials because of your lies that you need to be that much more on top of in order to keep track of your lies, which is why you can still understand that it is only liars who need good memories.
Moreover, can I assume that you will show up rather than your female colleague who you handed over to for the September 19th hearing which she conducted by telephone, following your attempt to fool me and the court that you had given me adequate notice for the August 26th hearing, and you remember how you were asking that other lawyer you ran into outside the courtroom just ahead of our hearing, how to go about getting Judge Groch to issue a warrant for my arrest since you didnt’ think I would show; and given how pro Chinese merit system I am, perhaps you thought I was Chinese as you spoke in your rather loud voice, even though I was no more than 6 feet away.
Furthermore, she told Judge Groch that she did receive my email with my pleading of the September 16, so this should be no different.
I want you to now focus on what had very money, land and real estate improvement, stocks and bonds rich Jeffrey Krinsk getting all unglued following our June 3, 2011 3 hour lunch meeting at the Grant Hotel in downtown, San Diego.

Insurance is the game and the name is of course Lloyds.
In order for your malpractice liability insurance to be effective, not only does your carrier have to be in business you might find that there is a provision that says if you commit a criminal act such as fraud, which courts throughout the world have not split hairs between fraud and gross negligence since they amount to the same thing, it means you are going “bare”.
Either way even if you can trace your lineage to the last Chinese emperor, you are an Emperor without clothes, because you know as well as anyone that your client Knuff has been lying through his teeth because you just need to be a human being to understand evidence.
People understand evidence.
Mr. Chen, you would agree that the truth is the best defense in a defamation lawsuit? Mr. Knuff says he considers anyone calling him Jewish “incorrect”, not defamation.
Again, Judge Lowy seems to be trying to help Mr. Knuff with his defamation evidence, but there was no evidence of defamation, but yet there must be a reason why Judge Lowy brought up this Jewish business, don’t you think?
Let me suggest that all this talk of Mr. Knuff being Jewish is nothing more than a distraction. I certainly don’t consider whether or not someone is or isn’t Jewish material to anything, so for the judge to bring it up, it must be important because why would a very busy judge bring up something that is not material?
I only know about Knuff from his actions following his meeting with former co-defendant and heavily intimidated Jewish American Adam Lee Tucker who is the one who told me that Knuff had a Jewish father who was a New York policeman and beat up a lot on Knuff as a kid.
Knuff, I understand is 6 ft 5 inches and maybe his father was 10ft at the time, but still it is irrelevant, don’t you think?
My Jewish family are very relevant to me, and their silence at this hour is most telling.
So let me explain.
It was mostly Jewish people who went up the smokestacks of the crematoria of the death factories of Germany-Poland, not Gentiles.
The Christian German-American Charles W. Engelhard Jr. was not one of the 6 million Jewish people who were murdered in the space of less than 5 years; and nor was his Jewish South African “male heir”, my father’s first cousin David Gevisser who in July 2005 received from Oxford University a Masters of Studies in History Research, and he was 79 at the time, and will have remembered very well the rather interesting “turn of events” that took place here in the US following the death of Engelhard on March 2, 1971 when very worried President Nixon didn’t send his most trusted Jewish Kapo-sellout, Henry Kissinger, but a much more trusted Hungarian Countess, very possibly a Mossad agent to find out from David Gevisser who was in the US to attend the funeral held at St. Mary’s Abbey, Church, Morris Town, two words, New Jersey, whether David Gevisser who was now both CEO of Engelhard Enterprises South Africa that controlled the world’s drilling industry +++ as well as executor of Engelhard’s estate, thought there was any “foul play” with Engelhard’s death, which of course all the paper trail showed there was beyond a shadow of a doubt.
You would also know that all those in attendance including Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy, Democratic former President Lyndon Johnson and Democratic Vice President Humphrey remembered that Engelhard had turned 54 the month before.
That is a rather important group of celebrities attending the funeral of a man very few Americans know the first thing about.
Are you with me Mr. Chen?
That Masters which should have been labeled A Masters in Rewriting History was all about the years leading up to The Holocaust that profited no one more than Charles W. Engelhard Sr. and his son of the same name who upon Engelhard Senior’s death in 1950 inherited not some small metals fabricating business in New Jersey which is what Edward Jay Epstein in his Diamond Invention book would like us all to believe, but much more importantly the title, THE PLATINUM KING which meant he owned all 3 Branches of the US Government because for an American to control the world supply of platinum and 80% mined in South Africa it meant that Engelhard controlled the South African Government during the Apartheid Regime that the US Government not only denounced publicly but if the US Government wanted to get rid of, the US Government had the military might to do so, but that would have posed a serious problem because the US Government was protecting their Apartheid Regime with the military might of the US.
Are you following me Mr. Chen.
Understand that Americans could own platinum but Americans were banned from owning gold bullion following a decree in 1933 by newly elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt who wasn’t trying to show that he loved Jewish people when turning away the MS St. Louis in June 1939, the month before General Jan Smuts visited with Sir Ernest Oppenheimer the US Protectorate Belgian Congo that was openly supplying Hitler with his diamonds needed to fashion precision tooling to produce mass weapons of destruction including those crematoria which I hope you have not already forgotten about.
All of David Gevisser’s wealth came from Engelhard because he received no inheritance from his father Maurice Gevisser who left his shares in our Moshal Gevisser to my grandfather Israel Issy Gevisser when Maurice died in the mid 1960s by which time the writing was already on the wall that the demise of this very well-known public corporation imminent.
David Gevisser in his 2006 memoirs, THE UNLIKELY FORESTER, states emphatically that he supported the armed struggle of the ANC against his and Engelhard and the Oppenheimers’ South African Apartheid Regime.
That makes not only David Gevisser a very big hypocrite, you know what I mean.
Nazis, no matter their race, color or creed were considered creeps by my immediate family because they had done very naughty things to us Jewish people.
No member of my immediate family would sit down with a Nazi let alone self-professed Nazi sympathizers such as American Wallis Simpson and her husband, abdicated King of England, and not say anything unless they were a member of the Mossad and/or put to work by the Mossad.
Ex CIA Knuff says in the court hearing/trial on January 21, 2011 that he is a voracious reader of my blog on 2facetruth.com and therefore would it be too much to ask you to read very carefully as well Ch.X, ENGELHARD EXPERIENCE of David Gevisser’s 2006 memoirs, THE UNLIKELY FORESTER.
Note how David Gevisser doesn’t talk much about the politics of Ms. Simpson or the ex King of England who knew exactly what they were doing when happily shacking the hand of the mass murderer Hitler in 1937
by which time the world knew all about his dislike of Jewish people because Mein Kampf was in full print, you understand?
No Jewish people had been exterminated not even in the trucks that had the exhaust fumes blowing in to the sealed backs, back in 1937.
Have you removed the 1.9 gram of platinum that is placed in the catalytic converter of your vehicles exhaust system?
Would you feel better if you saw the name Engelhard on every new Prius sold in the US?
How do you think my immediate as well as very large extended family feel about David Gevisser being so quiet about his dislike of Ms. Simpson and company other than he felt she was too full of himself?
I must now leave for the Hall of Justice. Email me if you think there is anything that is unclear, and I will try and make changes while waiting in line.

Mr. McCarthy,
It would be nice if I could find an honest lawyer and have them first contact every lawyer they know and have them read the very short transcripts of my hearings/trial and to let them know that if they delay speaking out, it does not mean the truth won’t get out.
Why not?

I appreciate you being so very clear.
My case – No. 05-11-00197-CV – which the Texas 5th Court of Appeals sent me notice on March 7 which I only received this past Saturday that they had “DISMISSED” is the greatest miscarriage of justice in the history of the United States, if not the entire world.
Never before has a judge, Judge Martin Lowy, ever broken every important law on the books as well as court rules.
Judge Lowy knew from the very start that he, nor any court in the world, had any business hearing such a nonsense defamation lawsuit given the fact that there was no evidence of defamation by me, and this Lowy stated clearly in the first hearing with a court reporter present on June 30, 2012. Moreover, Lowy elaborated that it would be impossible for me to defend myself since no evidence was ever presented by the plaintiff, an ex CIA official who I had never met or communicated with, despite trying to get his side of a story that he once told to my former webmaster who was also a co-defendant until he was severed from the lawsuit on the day Lowy handed me a $4 million DEATH SENTENCE. Furthermore, this “DEFAULT JUDGEMENT-DEATH SENTENCE” could only result if I had failed to respond, and which Lowy knew I had, and the court records show very clearly I had complied with all the court rules as well as in a timely fashion, but the same could not be said of the plaintiff Charles Knuff or his Dallas lawyer Alan Loewinsohn.
Judge Lowy knew exactly what he was doing when he also went on to say that he was most likely trampling on my Constitutional Rights to a fair trial that begins with my right to an unbiased judge.
Judge Lowy knows that a defendant should have the choice of jurisdiction and both defendants live in San Diego county, California where the plaintiff Charles Knuff has a large estate. and where the one and only meeting took place with the co-defendant Adam Lee Tucker on December 23, 2008 which was more than one year before Knuff-Loewinsohn filed their most frivolous lawsuit on February 23, 2010 which was more than a year after the Texas 1 year statute of limitations had expire and which I had covered in my pleadings that also addressed the issues of Diversity of the Internet; i.e. that this case should have been heard in a Federal Court and if not than in the State Court of California where all 3 parties to the lawsuit have their residences; not to mention that I have never done business in Texas or anything close to what even the Texas statutes stipulate; all of which fell on deaf ears which didnt prevent Judge Lowy from so arrogantly mocking me that I should have taken his advice to get myself an attorney, so that the lawyer could also be bought?
How sick can it get that a totally innocent person can not only be treated so miserably but is forced because of the grossly insane charge of defamation and the huge sum of money judgement to then have to come up with the monies to get a lawyer who can easily see how they can also profit from the gravy train while at the same time selling me down the tubes.
It is critically important who I am as well as my credibility and knowledge which I have been sharing for free and which I can back up all the irrefutable truths including my most solid record of accomplishment without any once being corrupted while operating at the highest levels of socio-economic ladder where my gain has never been personal financial profit, but rather to teach the next generation of children how to avoid the pitfalls of falling victim to the pursuit of money just for money’s sake, as few really understand the “money making business”, certainly not as well as me.
Judge Lowy also ignored my request for a jury trial.
The mind-blowing transcripts of the very short 4 hearings including the final hearing/trial on January 21, 2011, show beyond a shadow of a doubt that Judge Lowy was bought.
I have a “debtors hearing” scheduled for next Monday, March 19, here in San Diego where Knuff’s Century City-Los Angeles lawyers are trying to move forward to collect on this most illegal, most fraudulent judgment.
I have of course attempted to find legal counsel both in Texas and California and as soon as the lawyers read the initial complaint and/or the transcripts they either just tell me straight that they are not interested, and sometimes don’t even give me the courtesy of a response, or they jack up their fees and demand a monstrous retainer. In fact one California lawyer went so far as to state in writing that I could expect other lawyers to milk me blind, as he more than doubled his normal hourly rate to $425 an hour while asking for a $25,000 retainer without saying why he was more than doubling his hourly rate.
Bear in mind that in the very first court reported hearing Judge Lowy never explains why he suddenly changed his mind after first stating the following:
Page 6, line 8:I’m going to put this on the record for what it’s worth. I’ve reviewed the Original Petition. I have also attempted to review some of what Mr. Gevisser has presented to the Court in terms of his rather bizarre e-mails. And, clearly, he is a colorful character.However, you may know what your lawsuit is about. Mr. Gevisser may know what your lawsuit is about. But from reading your pleadings, I don’t know what your lawsuit is about. And so it’s going to be difficult for me to lean very heavily on him if he doesn’t give you very good responses to your requests. Because to the extent you are asking him what his contentions and defenses are, you know, if it was me, I would have to say “defenses to what.”
Even when the plaintiff and his lawyer are submitting 700+ pages of exhibits as evidence at the January 21, 2011 hearing/trial and Judge Lowy asks them to show him evidence of defamation and they tell him point blank that they dont have anything, he does not do the duty of a judge and pry further, and nor is there any reprimand; instead he simply hands me this $4 million DEATH SENTENCE and then asks Loewinsohn whether he thinks I can afford to pay it; and of course neither Knuff nor Loewinsohn provided any proof of Knuff’s financial loss, but Knuff did say that his neurologically diseases were exacerbated by the lawsuit, which of course were of his making; and nor did Judge Lowy ask Knuff to provide his medical records, and when I asked the Texas 5th Court of Appeals to force Loewinsohn to share with me Knuff’s medical records, they simply said no.
I am not trying to make my case to you, or to have you plead it before the Supreme Court judges on my behalf. I just want help getting a fair hearing and at the same maintaining the clearest record, because of course given the corruption that I am exposing, there can be no guarantee I will be around should I be afforded a day in court before an impartial judiciary.
Sincerely yours,
Gary S. Gevisser

Mr. Gevisser:The Court’s web manager sent you a link to questions answered and noted the Court cannot give legal advice.I want to add a couple of provisos and a link to the Texas appellate rules that pertain to filing in the Supreme Court.I don’t mean to state the obvious, but generally appeals to this Court are brought from a court of appeals decision. Direct appeals to the Supreme Court are limited by jurisdiction (what the Court can take) and rare.The Court is a discretionary review court, which means it takes cases to decide questions that it considers important to Texas jurisprudence. That’s a catchall, but the objective is to decide cases where a statute or constitutional issue is in question or where several of the courts of appeals have decided a legal question differently. The first stage in filing with the Supreme Court, then, is a petition for review – a limited argument to try to get the Court to accept the case, based on those factors I just mentioned or others set out by statute.I would strongly suggestion you consider hiring a lawyer. The Court takes about 12 percent of the 1,000 or so petitions each year. Otherwise good cases as candidates for review may be lost because litigants are acting on their own in what has become a specialized legal-practice area.
