When Walt died, his shares in Disney were worth $18
million. His family all in all held 34% of the stock in Walt Disney Productions.
Roy o. Disney’s
daughter Dorothy Disney Puder & husband Episcopalian
Rev. Glen Puder purchased property at 1677
Sage Canyon Rd., Napa Valley east of Rutherford. (This is close to the Rothschild’s
Opus One
Temple mentioned in VoL 1.) O.J. Simpson’s lawyer Johnnie Cochran Jr. was in the Rothschild’s
hard-to-enter Opus 1 when the jury arrived at a decision in O.J. Simpson’s case.) It is very typical for
Mafia families in south Boston to have one family member in the clergy & one full time in organized
crime. (See author’s Be Wise As Serpents for an expose on the Episcopalian
Church, which is simply
a
branch of Freemasonry.)
All kinds of interesting Mafia figures, Illuminati, and Bohemian Grovers
live up the Sage Canyon Rd. This is an area that has a large well-kept cemetery for pets. Frank Well’s
sister and Rich Frank, who will all be discussed later in this chapter, also live on Sage Canyon Rd.
E. WHO WAS ROY B. DISNEY?
Roy Edward Disney (nephew of Walt) is the son of Roy Oliver Disney (brother of Walt). Sometimes
he has been called Junior. The 9/5/94
Newsweek story on Disney’s Magic Kingdom called him
"Keeper of the Flame." Roy is an executive with Walt Disney Co. at 500 5. Buena Vista St., Burbank,
CA 91521. He has worked as an asst. producer at Walt Disney Co. from 1954 to 1977. He has also
been the vice-pres. of Walt Disney Co. He is president of Roy E. Disney Prodns. in Burbank. He is
chairman of the board for Shamrock Broadcasting
Co. As if that weren’t enough, he is on the board of
directors for St. Joseph Med. Ctr., fellow U. Ky. Recipient of the Academy award nomination for
Mysteries of the Deep. He is a director of the Guild American West, the Writers Guild, which is
important. He belongs to the 100 Club, the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, and St. Francis
Yacht Club. He likes speed boat racing. Roy E. Disney was the cocky son of Roy O. He married a gal
named Patricia. He was merely tolerated by his uncle Walt, especially after Roy E. made some snide
remarks about Walt’s plans for Disneyland, which he and his father opposed until Walt Disney
personally
got the project going. Walt’s son-in-law Ronald Miller is one of the Disney clan who can’t
stand Roy E. The two never liked each other, and in the power struggle between them after Walt’s
death, Roy E. won and ended up with Disney. Although people called Roy E. "Walt’s idiot nephew",
he eventually (with the help of his father & outsiders) won the various power struggles at Disney after
Walt died, and is now a powerful figure. Roy E. Disney and Stanley P. Gold work together in various
ways, and are both on the present Disney Bd. of Dir. They are friends and worked to prevent hostile
takeovers of Disney in 1984. Gold
is in charge of Shamrock Holdings, Inc.
The battle between the two Disney factions
In 1953, the two brothers and their respective sides of the family split when Walt created RETHAW
corporation. The two sides have fought ever since. When Walt Disney created RETLAW (his name
Walter spelled backwards),
this alienated his brother Roy O. & Roy’s side of the family. Without
going
into all the details, what RETLAW did was cut Roy O.’s side out of the money that was to be
made. But Roy’s side didn’t stand by and idly let their share of the pie be lost, they fought back and
held their own. Their big break came when Michael Milken and his band of junk bond artists carried
out a "greenmail"
on the Disney Corp. Only a few insiders know how greenmail works. It is a legal
form of blackmail. Milken would work with his friends Saul Steinberg, Sir James Goldsmith, and
Carl Icahn. Milken would provide them the financial clout, to make them look financially capable of
financially purchasing a corporation
that they had selected as a target. According to insiders, Milken
got 40% of the upside of any "greenmail"
that went right. The targeted corporation would learn that
someone like Saul Steinberg was going to buy them out. In order to prevent the buyout, and to keep
their jobs, the officers of the targeted corporation
would get frantic, and either do suicidal
refinancings,
or buy the stock of the potential acquirer for much greater prices than the Milken group
paid for them. The "greenmail"
artists would then take their loot and go on their way. The
stockholders
of the targeted company are the real losers of "greenmail",
because the management
