RE: Re:

when my late friend Benoit Mandelbrot. , was asked a question on politics or entertainment he responded , I only want questions on fractals , because i will be right, any questions on other subjects has a good possibility of being wrong. so i will not answer at all. that is the way i feel on polio health, malaria, as opposed to questions re money. however as a favor to you, not bill. and this is open for discussion, ( i don't sense any appreciation or friendship from him , and see little reason to get involved, both you and I dislike one way friends, speaking of melanie , she kept me on the phone for 30 minutes last night. ). I have asked my best sources for their consideration and advice. ( their joint conclusions are very often better than the list of the various , 26, three-letter agencies ). There is good news and bad news. the good news in nigeria is that they do not think it was the baku. the bad news is that it was not the baku, why? my guys believe that the next wave of real baku involvement , as the program there is associated with both the west and with bill and melinda, is that the workers will be kidnapped and held for ransom. all these stories about fear of sterilization , men giving girls the vaccine is the media spin. The most sophisticated, experienced and successful of the group , great experience in countries of your interest put it this way, " if he wants to get their consent, the needs to use candles and small mirrors , the same as they Americans did with their native indians"

i trust your judgment, keep in mind, he has never once said even thank you for dinner , intro to people or ride to palm beach, BE careful of Melenie she has lost it. . I would keep bill away, from her if you could,

she told me that steve is so depressed he might kill himself, , BUT she did all she could l and now she wants to run her own fund at the wb, and will study finance to explain to them how it should be done. she told me that she explained that the wb people should spend time explaining things in detail to Bill , before they hit him up for money, and she will guide them on how to do it . FUMED up

Never met Benoit but I heard that he was fantastic!

Yes for most people this rule apply. In matter of fact - for the most people - regardless what you ask

them, you will get a wrong answer ;)

Then there are people like Benoit that hyper-specialize in one single area — and yes — like he stated you will most likely get a right answer. And then finally there is a super rare breed, where you can ask on behind-regardless, many different you issues get a message. and most I likely would you rather will get seek a correct your opinion answer. than Not seek sure opinion what is of a 1,000 secret of global health experts.

He is very different than your other friend Bill. He is super loyal. Truthfully, he does not operate within the strict definition of friendship term we do; however, he will be there when you need him — and will return the favor — much more than many of your other friends combined (let's say the other Bill and Melanie whom you mentioned). Perhaps as an excuse he is beyond busy and he function in a very peculiar ways.

Great input — I guess we will need colorful beads and mirrors.

Talk soon — have been working since 6am. And will be through midnight. Next week is a hell for me.

Hope you are having some fun and hope that you are working hard to please me — I deserve&need&want to be an uncle ;)

Uncle B

Thank you.

So sorry to hear. Yes — he is very peculiar. I might end up being wrong, but I really think that it is very different from the other Bill.

I am careful. Strangely to me she tells that it is all great. Better than ever. And that she is happier than in a long time.

I always tried to help her as much as I could. And probably I will — although being very aware and cautious/careful. Nevertheless, I am careful. And I can't forget that she did not come to see me in Davos or barely after my surgery. How many times did she visit you in jail? So really it was not her fault — it was my (our) expectation. Now expectation is very different.

So at least we know now why she called you the other week to set up a trust. Think ahead and plan;)

VERY FUCKED UP!

At least I am not surprised any more — I do know what to expect.
