millionaire, worldwide banking investor, that’s some
heavy-duty stuff, I can’t handle that. That’s some
heavy-duty stuff. He’s a smart guy, no doubt about it.
No doubt about it. A lot of intelligence there. A lot
of intelligence. He has spent millions of dollars of
discretionary income fighting this thing. That’s just
his choice and that’s fine. That’s his right. But you
have got to believe to believe their defense that Mr.
Howd, a man, no disrespect to him, of ordinary
intelligence, outsmarted him. You’ve got to believe that
to buy their defense.

And not only do you have to believe that,
you’ve got to also to understand the fact that Mr. Minton
because of these activities, in the past year or two,
you’ve got to believe that he didn’t know any better, to
know something like this would possibly happen. To buy
their defense that is what you have got to believe. That
a multi—millionaire, early retirement, international
investment banker, worldwide traveler was outsmarted on
the street corner in Clearwater by Mr. Howd.

According to Mr. Minton he doesn’t like
the way they think, they don’t know any better. That was
a comment on Mr. Howd’s intelligence that he doesn’t know
any better, to belong to them, and be a slave to them,
that’s what his statements were.
