I know all about those EST-holes! Werner Erhard
has been here; I have seen his phoniness. He is a
businessman. He is really a Jew – and I don't mean it
metaphorically, he is a born Jew. But it was against his
business so he changed his name. He changed his
name so it would look German: Werner Erhard. A Jew
is hiding behind a German name! He is not interested
in you – EST is just a game...
