On Pins and Needles….meanwhile back on the film
There seems to be a lot of tension and expectation of the outcome of my little dilemma with the BDFS Copyright Infringement case. The Judge has spoken. Thee are deadlines for Feb. 29 amd we hav a conference with the judge March 6 with proposals and intentions. Bill Aguiar is the only one with material […]
My right to Fair Use upheld in Federal Court, but the beat goes on….
In a nutshell, here is what happened in Court. I am being charged with copyright infringement by Grand Master of the Black Dragon Fighting Society, William V. Aguiar III, over use of images from Count Dante’s World’s Deadliest Fighting Secrets and film footage from his instructional video set. Aguiar filed a settlement proposal for $500,000.00 […]
In Boston, Court at 2:00 pm
I arrived in Boston on Thursday. I was planning on arriving in the evening but my lawyers wanted me there for a pretrial run-through and a meeting with the Barron Sheppard and Ashida Kim’s layers. I landed at 10:30 and made a beeline directly for Foley Hoags Offices on Seaport Blvd. So here I am, […]
The film goes well…
Even with court coming up. I am making progress with the film. Even with all the personal comments meant to incite some kind of personalized reaction from me I am making progress with the film. These things will not stop it from being done. I am at a point where the film has literally taken […]
Resolving mythology with Realities
Since receiving the DiFonzo package I have been able to contact individuals pertinent to the Purolator case. This robbery is literally the beginning of the Dante’s end. This individual has knowledge from being involved in the case. I know what people claim, I am looking for what I can prove. What do I want to […]
Mystery Package in the Mail: Luigi DiFonzo
It does not stop. I got yet another mystery package in the mail from someone. This time it was “re: Luigi DiFonzo,” Count Dante’s accomplice in the Purolator robbery. There is a question about them having scammed some of the Outfit guys, making it look like they were saving DiFonzo from the Count so he […]
More rumours, no proof….
I have to contend with others who challenge my right to make this film. They weave a tale of a character way beyond the comic book image I began to investigate. They seek to reinvent and exaggerate the last years of Dante’s life with no proof. I wish them the best of luck in their […]
I Interview Michael Bertiaux
I recently interviewed Michael Bertiaux, author, philosopher and artist with special interest in metaphysics and occultism. Contrary to what some would tell you, Bertiaux had little to do with Aleister Crowley’s teachings. Bertiaux was introduced to Voudoun in Haiti when he was head of a Epicopalian Church Museum of Art and Archaeology. He met Dante […]

Back from New York
I got back from New York on Monday. It was quite a weekend. About 500 people showed up for St. Clair Bourne’s Memorial at River Side Church in Harlem. Like many others, I still find myself dumbfounded by his passing. I saw lots of people I had not seen in years. People came from California […]
