Local chatter about complaints that funds are not showing up. It is similar to relying on ghosts and closed doors. Some leadership know this. Some take the gamble and it can work for a time, sometimes never though. I personally heard about this problem in my youth. I met a man who appeared stolen from another country, brought here and asked/told to use his money for certain people and projects, companies. He began to, discovered neither he nor the money was being used well by gangsters or their children. He told me he was leaving, not coming back. I didn’t make this story up, it was given to me.
Also told one of the Steven Jobs of early Apple Computers was kidnapped from another country and his parents extorted for funding of foreign families to work at Apple and elsewhere. I did not make this up, I was TOLD about it. Is it truth? It could be.
It can get even more criminal and I won’t write about how.
It can also be well done and very legal. Here how it can still be spiritual, ghostly and not reliable: In California, a certain level of entertainment professionals are able to make deals lasting decades after they are done walking in front of or behind the camera. It is royalties and percentages, basically funds from ongoing syndication of the media content in a variety of places. What works at first is they can do well and the professionals get checks in the mail and are funded well. What can go wrong is that over time, people have seen the content enough and are not as interested and the checks get smaller and stop.
People have been WARNED for YEARS NOW about the pending shut down of Paramount Television and also upcoming mergers and layoffs in Hollywood town. What’s upsetting to me personally is seeing people “dropping dead” in the public media such as Gene Hackman. He was a known entertainment professional. He is an example of someone who may have funded others off his earnings of royalties and percentages. Betty White is another one. People may have also flipped out when Michael Jackson died. Similar can happen with people retired from large corporations. Eventually their percentages drop and their incomes get smaller and smaller sometimes the company they get retirement income from needs money back or they’ve lost too much and need to keep funding itself and current employees. This happens in the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT too. People on government retirement funding have trouble also, INCLUDING MILITARY. Military people occasionally have some funds to work with even after they become retired. MOST DO NOT, or it is limited. Please be nice to military, if they earned retirement income they probably really paid for it with their time and life. Not likely just sitting at a desk for admin nor just building cars for the people.
What may be going on right now are deals have ended and funding sources for a variety of people simply stopped. People may have been warned for decades this could happen and may have been told it would though! If people were told they’d have to leave again, like exiting the U.S.A. please do. I’m telling you this because I have seen things get criminal and some of the first funding sources people go after… may not be legal to them at all… like a stranger’s money, someone else’s family member’s money… desperate people “get grabby” and go after “what is NOT THEIRS”. I humbly suggest you do not do this yourself nor hire people to do this. The U.S. government and other governments may know your deal(s) here. May wonder how you “got wealthy overnight”.
Real or not? In my youth I saw more than one gangster tell me what happened to them. They were able to gather stolen funds, look good to others, became promised investors for families, projects, and companies. The U.S. government caught them with stolen money, put them in prison, seized money and assets and now they were out of work and not wealthy and wanted to commit suicide because there were so many promises they cannot fulfill. So they may have left the U.S. and never came back. I don’t think I saw them again. Worse yet, some of the stolen funds were from friends and their own family and they could not get the monies back because of problems (may have been spent obtaining other money). And now their own people are not as important or well funded. His whole group of circles of contacts are now diminished and less strong, and not likely to develop well ever again. Won’t look good in society, possibly for more than a generation if ever.
Donald Trump’s administration is “cleaning up” problems or so they say. What I can suggest is, if you are from another country and are poor here, have a home elsewhere… it may be a good time to go home and not linger begging for new work and U.S. funding. If you already have enough to keep going, then please do stay you’ll probably be fine. Not everyone here is from another country with a family and home there. They are essentially HOME ALREADY, not in another country begging for work or trouble causing for activist sponsors.
