THE WIZARD OF SPEED AND TIME:  Nostradamus of Motion Pictures?

                    PREPARE TO BE STUNNED

The date:  January 15, 1991.  I was driving home from Westlake
Village, after a two-hour session with a shrewd entertainment
litigation attorney.  I had presented over 3 pounds of documents
and data regarding my esteamed business partner, R. Kaye (he who
also insisted on acting in WIZARD as the crooked, embezzling,
sociopathic producer), and WIZARD's alleged distributors (who
refuse to show me any agreements stating they even have such
rights).  The attorney confirmed I had an excellent case.  Only
his convoluted retainer agreement and exorbitant contingency fee
gave me pause from declaring all-out war on WIZARD's usurpers.

It was eerie.  Practically every event in WIZARD that wasn't
already based on a true event, was nevertheless coming true.
Except the part where the crooks get found out and thrown in
prison, and the good guys get their money back and get cheered
and live happily ever after.  Where was the happy ending?!?

This was no small issue.  It was the archetypical foundation of
our reality, slowly being fractured.

Think about it.  What really happens...when this society lets its
villains keep winning, when its creative idealists keep getting
robbed of nearly all spirit and resources, when negative energies
keep building to a boiling point..?

What happens?  Stock markets crash, hemlines fall...or worse?

The Answer came to me in the next few seconds, over the car radio:

      "Bulletin - the USA attacks IRAQ to liberate KUWAIT"

Something about that announcement rang an inner gong.  Could the
Persian Gulf Crisis be a macro-analog, now echoing and expanding
my own conflict with Kaye and SGE to near-global proportions? 

Desperate, nightmarish problems often demand comparable solutions.

Since we are dealing with positive and negative forces, we must
number - and reverse-number - the letters of the alphabet, thusly:

WIZ-MATIC            A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M 
Alphocryptic         1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 
Decoder             26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 

(WizMAD,             N  O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z
Part 2)             14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
                    13 12 11 10  9  8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1

Now we boldly combine mathematics, cryptography, and current
events, with breathtaking leaps of logic and phonetic license...

As a native of Los Angeles, and naturally seeing myself in the
hero-position of this adventure, I patriotically assume the role
of "USA".  Using the above Decoder, we observe that the letters,
"U" and "S" are, respectively, 6th and 8th from the end of the
alphabet.  Six, and eight...  My birthday, is June 8th.

It should also be noted that "Michael", "Jittlov", "Angeles", and
"America" all have the same number of letters - seven.

Note further, that "Kaye" has the same number of letters (four)
as "Iraq".  Better yet, when we carefully apply the mystic laws
of Letterology (far too complex to describe herein), then "IRAQ"
transposes to "RQAI" - or (phonetically) "RKaye"!  (& "arcane"?)

                   But wait - there's more!

"KUWAIT" has the same number of letters (six) as "WIZARD"!  And,
it also has three of the same letters -  W, A, and I - three very
special letters!

Using the Decoder again, we can immediately notice that:

W is the 4th letter from the end.  The 4th from the front, is _D_
A is the 1st letter from the front.  The 1st from the end, is _Z_
I is the 9th letter from the front.  The 9th from the end, is _R_
 
Put them all together, and they spell (are you ready?)... WAIDZR! 

Waitaminit...@%#!&*...  WIZARD!!  Yes!  It all...seems...to fit!!

          -+*  "Coincidence"..?  Or Cosmic Plan?  *+-


And THEN there are the names of the other players in this debacle
- on RK's side:  Solomon, Mosk, S.Shah, The Tomb, maybe Pyramid...

As a matter of fact, just take the official business name of SGE - 
Shapiro Glickenhaus Entertainment, Inc. - which has 36 letters and
characters.  Now, add up all those numbers, 1+2+3+(...)+34+35+36.
That's right.  They total 666.  (It's...just...too...close.)

(Maybe I should just go with the flow - find a lawyer named Moses.)

                           *   *   *

EPILOGUE:  the WIZARD movie is still in limbo, the conflict is
still unresolved.  And wouldn't you know it - the conflict in
the Middle East, whatever its real agenda, also doesn't appear
to be resolved, and the apparent villains are still in charge.

But perhaps, when WIZARD is rightfully regained, repaired, and
redistributed - and justice is dutifully applied to those who
so richly deserve it - Hollywood and the rest of the World will
know peace and plenty.
