Kevin Beechum Conversation Continued

Luke: "When did you cut all connections to Arrow?"

Kevin: "Me and the old man [Anthony Peraino] split up after that. We broke up as partners. Then the feds came to me and tried to get me to roll on him. They threatened they were going to put me away for organized crime. So I just called the old man [Anthony Peraino] up and he sent over his lawyer, Jim Henderson, and he was the ex-head of the FBI in Los Angeles. He put all the mobsters away here [Los Angeles]. He came here from Chicago, where he was the head of the FBI. Jim put Pete Milano away. Now he's just Louie Caruso's lawyer [accused mob soldier]. And then Jimmy got me [as a client]. And all the FBI guys after me were hired by Jimmy Henderson. So they had no case. They were just blowing smoke up me, trying to scare me. It didn't work.

"Now Tony's dead. Butchie's dead. And Raymond Pistol took over LP Duplication from Butchie's kid. Vinnie DeStefano runs his own duplicating business."

Luke: "Do you run into Joey Abinanti?"

Kevin: "I seen Joey last at Vinnie's wife's funeral. Vinnie's a good guy. There's a straight up guy for you."

Luke: "Joey's supposed to be connected."

Kevin: "Joey's a good guy too. Joey's had his times. But they don't do nothing no more. There ain't no more organized crime, bro. It's all over."

Luke: "What about in Los Angeles?"

Kevin: "There ain't s---. There aren't hardly in New York anymore. The government cleaned it up. The only organized crime is the government."

Luke: "Well, there was that case in Long Island a few weeks ago, where this video store was a sting operation, and most of the crime families tried to extort money from it."

Kevin: "That just shows you that's bulls---. One, you're going to go after a video store to extort money? Come on. There are bigger and better things to go after. They're used to working in big f---ing construction companies where the real money is, not a little pissy video store. Half of the s--- you read dude the government makes up. You've got to always remember that. With my experience of 20 years, I remember in that case, they were coming up to people in the hallway, going, 'I want you to go in there and you tell them that they made you do that movie and there was no script.'

"Taylor Wane was one of them. She said, 'I'm not going in there and saying that because that ain't what happened.' The fed guy goes, 'You've got to do that.' She goes, 'I don't have to do anything.' So he'd walk back to the two FBI guys from D.C. and tell them, 'Well, she's not going to do it.' Then they'd go, 'Well, let her go. We don't need her to testify.' They were doing that with everybody in there.

"So I'm standing there right, and I'm f---ing drunk as s---, I went to titty bars all night. They sent me home the first time because I was so f---ed up. So then I come in and go, 'Hey, since you're sending everyone home, can I go home?' Because nobody else would go up on the stand because they wouldn't do what they [feds] told them. They said, 'Buddy, we need you to go up there.'

"The government was trying to get all of us go against Tony and them. But it didn't work that way. And I had to go up there because I couldn't lie. I was partners with him. We were on paper together. They were trying to show that we were organized crime. It didn't work."

Luke: "Did you used to play cards with [LA boss] Pete Milano?"

Kevin: "Me, Tony, Russ [Hampshire], and a couple of guys that worked for us used to play cards."

Luke: "Did you know Mike Rizzitello?"

Kevin: "Sounds familiar. I think so."

Luke: "He was a big LA [mobster]..."

Kevin: "Back in the days, I think he was..."

Luke: "Do you know Big Tony [Spasado] who just got out of jail after ten years? He owns The Money Tree restaurant in Toluca Lake"

Kevin: "Big Tony? No. Dude, all them guys are has beens now. They're all done. Everybody's had associations with the mob but today the associations are over."

Luke: "Tony Spasado. He's partners with Michael Esposito."

Kevin makes a derisive dismissive noise.

Kevin: "There's another guy [Michael Esposito] that wants to be [in the mob]."

Luke: "What happend to John Kenney aka Bo from LGI?"

Kevin: "Bo? He's still around. I gotta call him today. Bo's a good guy. He's got some gossip site too [porngossip.com]. He's mellowed out. He got away from doing all that internet stuff and he's mainly sticking with his stores and his couple of web sites. He was trying to do web sites for the girls but it turned out to be a bigger hassle than it was worth.

"I own KBeech, Midnight, Erotic Angel, Dreamland, Midnight Man, Erotic Man, Urban Attractions. Urban Attractions is another distribution company like KBeech. We had it in Michigan. Dusty Urban handles all the distributors."

Luke: "Is Dusty married to Shay Sweet?"

Kevin: "No, Jeff Snyder lives with Shay Sweet. Dusty went out with her way back in the old days."

Luke: "Did you take care of Jay Brisette and the guys when they were in prison?"

Kevin: "I always take care of my guys. I've got four more of my guys still in there. For drugs, beating up guys... They're in Folsom [prison] together."

Luke: "How do you know these guys?"

Kevin: "They're my buddies. We're all brothers man. Brotherhood."

Luke: "But they're not bikers."

Kevin: "No. Where that story came out? We were buddies with all the Hells Angels and that but that ain't got nothing to do with anything. We ride Harleys. We've got our own. We rids with the Sims guys. There are about 70 of us when we go riding. We were all up in Laughlin."

Luke: "Then you guys are bikers."

Kevin: "Yeah, we are bikers. But it's not like it was a biker gang that went and did that bombing."

Luke: "Do you go riding with Paul Cambria?"

Kevin: "I rode with them guys in Hawaii. We were at that AVN thing. There were ten of us. That's fun."

Luke: "Is Jay Brisette working for you?"

Kevin: "No, he went back into the carpet cleaning industry. He lays tile. We got Little Joe a job with our buddies who built slot machines for Vegas. They're both doing good. Back on the straight and narrow. Keep them that way.

"I used to like Mickey [Fine]. Me and him were best friends but when he f---ed us, I had no choice but to f--- him back. I feel sorry for the guy but that f---ing sucked. When you make a deal, you go through the deal. And he didn't go through with it but he was always known for that.

"It's too bad what happened to Reuben. It's sad because the government killed him. David's got to live with it and David's f---ing a great guy. It's sad. This business is just a business like every f---ing business. The way Reuben built this business is the way it should've stayed. It's too bad he built it and it crashed because he wasn't involved anymore.

"Back in the days, Tony, my boss, and them, they were all the main guys who helped everybody. Russ and everybody. That was back in the days when the mob was the mob. But that's how all these guys got started. Everybody got money from somebody."

Luke: "The mob was the power and strength and discipline behind the industry."

Kevin: "We used to do business with Marty Tacetta. He's a good guy. He's in prison and I don't think he's ever getting out. Like I said, they're all locked up. They're ain't no more [Mafia]. Everybody's either dead or locked up."

Luke: "Did Tony Peraino work with Russell Hampshire?"

Kevin: "Back in the ol' days, I guess. Back when there was Deep Throat, when Russ first started. You're talking the old days, bro. I think everybody had to work with somebody in them days. You couldn't get in without 'em in them days. When I got in [1981], there were still a lot of boys, and it still ran great. The good ol' days man, I miss 'em. Now it's just a hustle, work, family, hang out and have fun. That's why when I read that s---, I thought, 'Where in the f--- did you get that?' My credit card, oh f---.

"I set up the first one [bombing] in Arizona, but when they came to me to do more, I thought about it and said, 'Man, I am just going to hook you two guys up and you guys go meet in an Italian restaurant and do the deal but don't tell me about it. I don't want to be involved.' Then when the bomb all happened, Jay came back and I had to pick him up... That's when I had to get involved and make phone calls and that's what sucked."

Luke: "For their defense?"

Kevin: "Yeah. I had to get involved and that's when Mickey changed the whole deal and I said, 'f--- that. You're not f---ing my buddies.' And we had to f--- him back. We never dealt directly with Reuben at all. At first people thought I snitched him [Mickey Fine aka Herbert Feinberg] out or ratted like you said. I didn't. All I was doing was paying him back for f---ing us. He f---ed us so we f---ed him back.

"Reuben didn't care because he was already going away for the rest of his life. He was going away before the bombing [Sturman ordered]."

Luke: "Now, you arranged the Arizona bombing?"

Kevin: "Yeah, I had to set all that up. I had to pay restitution to that bitch [Tamara Green] in Arizona for the damages to the f---ing store. I gave her free movies then the f---ing chick never paid her f---ing bills after that. She disappeared or what? I don't think she's still in business. I haven't seen since the Chicago [court] corridor.

"I've got articles from the Chicago newspapers. They thought they were shooting a movie when that car blew up. Two guys on fire running down the street. We wanted to make a movie of that called 'The Bombing.' It'd be a great Saturday night flick. They called me the boss of LA trying to take over the Chicago mob. That's why we were blowing up their bookstores. That made AP from all over the country. People were calling me from Florida, Michigan. It was a big f---ing thing in that day.

"When he f---ing died, he f---ing didn't even know what had happened to him. The bomb went off in the car."

Luke: "Does that sort of stuff happen anymore?"

Kevin: "Nah, I don't know. Everybody and their brother thinks there a tough guy and they all want to come over and ask me to do something. I tell 'em all, 'I'm retired. I don't do nothing no more. I've got my two kids. That's all I care about.' It ain't worth that s--- anymore. Somebody do something personally to me, then I'll take care of it. When somebody does something to someone else, they can handle their own business. Unless someone f---s with my own real good family."

James DiGiorgio tells Luke a joke. "There are three little pigs. A straw pig, wood pig, brick pig. Big bad wolf shows up at the straw pig's house and blows it down. The straw pig runs over to wood pig's house, can't believe what happened. The big bad wolf comes over to the wood pig's house and blows it down. The two pigs run over to brick pig's house. The big bad wolf shows up and huff and puffs but he can't blow it down. Brick pig says, hold on a second and he picks up the phone. Makes a call. A few minutes later, a big black limousine and these two monster pigs get out of the car and they're dressed in nice Italian suits. They beat the s--- out of the wolf. Then they put a gun in his mouth and blow his brains out. Then they put him in the trunk of the black limo and they drive off. The straw pig and the wood pig turns to the brick pig and say, 'Who was that?' And the brick pig says, 'Those were the guinea pigs.'"

Shawna Edwards Passes Out From Alcohol Poisoning

Paramedics worked on a passed out Shawna Edwards at the front of the Internext Show in Las Vegas Friday afternoon. She suffered from alcohol poisoning.

A couple of days ago, she ran into her ex-boyfriend Gary Horn for the first time in years. She cried and said she wanted to come home.

Bounced Checks

Jeremy Steele writes: Hey Luke, I think it's time for you to help the adult business to be of better service to itself by providing all members with a direct link to the latest companies who have bounced checks, or have scammed performers/workers out of money. You can have it in read between "Stars" and "Email Luke", and I'm sure most everyone will appreciate it. I am very close to providing everyone with the first company name.. but before I do, I am still seeking to resolve this situation.

I have had a check for $700.00 bounce three times by them. There is another person who bounced a check on me for $600.00, but he has promised to come by my house tonight and pay me cash. As you could guess, I'm not a happy camper.. Rent is due. If I end up needing a place to live because of this, someone is going to have a very unwelcomed guest.

Who Is This Sheldon Teitelbaum Anyway?

Luke writes: If I could get away with it, I'd really like to live on Dr William Pierce's compound for a few weeks and write about it... I find these white nationalist groups in many ways far more interesting than porners...

Sheldon Teitelbaum responds: You dance too close to fire you get your pubes singed...One doesn't enter into discussion with Nazis, one must kill them.

Chaim Amalek writes: "One doesn't enter into discussion with (FILL IN THE BLANK WITH THE OBJECT OF YOUR HATE) one must kill them."

Thus spake "Sheldon" Teitelbaum, namesake of a notoriously anti-Zionist Chassidic fringe group led by the Satmar Rebbe. This is hate speech, pure and simple, and the ADL is going to hear about it. As an aside, the fact is that while most rich jews in Jew York (sorry - that really WAS a typo - the "J" is right above the "N". Now I know how Jessie Jackson felt) summer in the Hamptons, I am not rich enough to qualify. So I summer at the compound in West Virginia, where I am made to feel right at home.

I think that now that you have been expelled from the torah-true jews, you can at least pretend to be interested in going over to the other side. Think of the stories you will have to tell! And if you do it right, either you will become the new William Pierce or you can report back on what you found and become hero to Juden everywhere. Even the stoney-hearted mitnagdikisher rabbis will welcome you into their bosom.

Again, as I warned you over schnapps last night, be careful with this "Sheldon" person. After all, who is he REALLY? I do not think I have ever heard anyone on your site or associated with your site preach death like this before. (And no, since Pierce is not a direct contributor to your site, he does not count.) Could be that he is trying to start trouble, spreading words of hate on the net, just to whip up a story.

Preach tolerance, not hate, sez Amalek!

Luke, this is a serious query, prompted by Sheldon "Teitelbaum's" wondering whether I, RUM, Putative Marc et al are real or not. I know I am because I know I am. But I honestly do not know for a fact that this Jenna Jammison person is. After all, I have never seen her in a movie or on television, I have never met anyone who spoke to me of meeting her, and I cannot accept that merely a presence on the internet, be it as a sporadic contributor to l-keford.com or via one's own web site, is proof of existence. Luke, does this person really exist, or is she merely a token of the collective yearnings of her fans, quietly masturbating themselves into oblivion?

Why Don't More Deathrow Murderers Turn To Orthodox Judaism?

Helpful Gentile writes: "As the token Gentile I feel duty bound to remind you than Christianity is 100% built upon the concept of forgiveness. Let me tell you being forgiven 2000 years ago for my transgressions of today takes a lot of life's pressures off.

"Put it this way. Ever notice the large number of death row inmates who seem to find Christ in their darkest hour? Now compare that to how many convicted capitol offenders turn to embrace Judaism? Get the picture?"

Fred responds: Two thoughts.

1. I have a feeling that many last minute conversions are spurred by the fact that the majority of those running the various justice departments of these United States are Christian, and a last minute conversion to Judaism is not likely to impress those who decide whether to commute sentences.

2. I also note that the concept of instant forgiveness for sins (or, conversely, escape of responsibility for one's screw-ups) is a key attraction of Christianity.

3. In any event, our religeon was not designed by MBAs seeking market share. (If it were, circumcision would have been dropped long ago.)

Charley Frey vs Steve Seidman

Florida talent manager Charley Frey, using the email address CleopatraPornStar, writes Luke: "I heard that that Steve guy raped some 17 year old girl trying to get her to do a movie for him in Florida...it was on the news...who else knows about it?"

Steve, and everyone who knows him who's talked to me, says the accusation is ridiculous.

Seidman is suing Charley Frey over a business arrangement gone wrong.

Mike South says: "Steve Seidman will give ya the scoop there but accusing someone of raping a 17 year old girl is pretty damn serious and I have known Steve a long time and I can't imagine there being an iota of truth to that.

"I just talked to Cleopatra, the porn star, and she doesn't even know how to use email. There's no way she sent that. And she's pissed."

Luke says: I called Steve Seidman Friday morning.

Steve: "I hear my buddy Charley Frey sent you an email, accusing me of rape. He wrote the email because he got served with lawsuit papers yesterday, concerning fraudulent activity he did. He supposedly owned a production company.

"Charley's a moron."

Luke: "He says it was on the news."

Steve: "I'd like to know what news. If an accusation like that hit the news, the police would've come to me. I haven't been involved with the police in a while."

Luke: "Weren't you involved with Charley in that whackpack video?"

Steve: "At one point we were. We fell out of because he said he had a production company that he didn't have. Our whackpack video is being distributed by an internet company called Wired Solutions.

"I've known Charley over ten years. I know exactly what he's like. And if you're a friend, you can rest assured he's going to f--- you some way possible."

Luke: "Is Charley still running the career of that Cleopatra girl?"

Steve: "I think so. Don't you know that Charley is responsible for Houston being the star that she is? And he is the one who made Jasmin St. Claire such a big star."

Luke: "Charley is a star maker. How's the Internext Convention?"

Steve: "Not bad. I've seen it bigger. They say it's because it's the summer. A lot of people are doing a lot of business."

I talked to Cleopatra Friday afternoon. She's upset that somebody's been sending me emails in her name. She says she's still represented by Charley Frey. She did not do that much hyped gangbang but has done about 40 porn videos.

Randy West Replies About Jenna Jameson

Randy West tells GeneRossExtreme.com: I saw Jenna's response on Luke's thing- somebody showed me. Obviously she's backed down a little bit. She went down a couple of thousand but still won't speak the truth. She says, 'I got $2,000 for the first scene and $6,000 for the second scene.' Even though I'm a bit older than her I think she's getting senile before me. Then she gave some other story that she wasn't a fan and that I contacted her first. The way it went down is that she did contact me first and send me her pictures and all that s---. She was with Julia Parton. She then said I contacted Julia first about her. She told me she was with Julia, but Julia didn't want her doing XXX. That's why I didn't shoot her right away. That's how that went down. You know the old story- it's been going on for years. Girls always lie about their money because they want to make it sound that they're better than what they are. It's the oldest trick in the book. When they're getting $300 they say they're getting $500. What else is new there. That's pretty much it and the last I'm going to talk about it. Until I see her personally I still consider us friends and on we go.

Miss Muffin On The Sad Life Of Female Porn Stars

Miss Muffin from MissMuffin.com writes on RAME: Sure, perhaps entering the sex industry in almost any capacity is seen by some as a bad career choice. But the reality is that our choices are limited by what's possible for us, and we all must make the best choice we can.

When I was sixteen, I had quit school and was working full time making minimum wage, often working alone by myself at night as a cashieer, and trying to support myself. I knew some girls in the sex industry, and decided I'd rather try that.

So I became a hooker. Later I did other areas of the industry too. Now sure, a Harvard education and a career as a brain surgeon might have been a better choice, but for me it just wasn't on the menu. So I made the best choice I could, and I don't really regret it. True, it limits me in some way, I'm never likely to be eleceted to office with my past, but then, I wouldn't have been anyway.

And what if somewhere down the road I'm a skanky worn-out drugg addled street hooker? Well, I've had my party. Better that than ending up a waitress in some small town with six kids and no husband and a trailer I can't pay for, which would have probably happened had I not made the choice I did.

Mr. Owsley comments on RAME: Excellent point. Way too often it seems the people on the higher end of the socio-economic ladder seem to pity the folks on the lower rungs, wringing their hands over why the disadvantaged make the choices they do. Well, like you said for some people it's just not an option to get a job that pays $100,000 a year. It might be that they aren't smart enough, they just don't want the responsibilities that come with that kind of job, they can't afford or commit to higher education, etc. But just because the folks stuck on the lower rungs don't make as much money doesn't mean that they don't want the same material possesions. That's why so many people turn to somewhat shady if not illegal lines of work that can bring in a lot of money. Since all of you feel so sorry for the porn stars, why don't you all take a donation and give to them so they can live on that? I think many of the people that have posted saying "pity the pornstar" are just feeding into their own misplaced guilt for watching porn in the first place.... (sarcasm on) after all, porn is bad so the people in porn must be bad as well? Right?

Ginger Lynn's Taken

Patrick Riley writes on RAME: This is not too bad a movie for the porn-viewing audience of romance-novel-reading ageing housewives. For the raincoater, oh la la, don't even think about watching; it'll give you nightmares. For the more normal male it's not too offensive with the feminist overtones limited to the women being far too aggressive sexually which is manifested by lots of woman-on-top positions. There aren't any lectures about the innate superiority of the female but quite the opposite; looking below the surface, the female's natural perfidy is well demonstrated.

On the other hand even some females might be sickened by the saccharine schmaltz of the videography and the dialog. For example, there's a frequent "beautiful sunset" scene shown and I kept saying "They wouldn't." But they do. The last time we see the scene there's Evan and Ginger superimposed in shadow, kissing romantically. VCA tout the movie as having the most dialog of any recent porno and that's true; it's probably equal to or greater than most non-explicit "B" level romances and could be converted into such with some very minor snips.

The biggest problem is not all that (you have an FF button don't you?) but as usual for VCA and Hart, the age and quality of the women. Ginger has no waist, flat butt, thickening biceps (flab), and a face that always looked common but is now old-common, like the well-past-her-prime greasy spoon waitress. The others are no better. If you don't want to screw them, why would you want to watch them in your fantasy?

The metaphorical story is: ageing housewife whose support object is becoming less attractive and might even turn into a non-support liability is kidnapped by a handsome prince who overcomes her resistance and carries her off to his castle in the sky where she can devote herself to a life of luxury while raising her children. Perfectly in accordance with the female's reproductive advantage and genetically encoded. The male version would be: male kidnaps nubile sex object, breaks her as one would a horse, and breeds her, but that's not this movie. Don't let the synopsis persuade you otherwise.

Ginger is married to Herschel who seems to be having vague problems at work (later magnified in Ginger's mind into money laundering for which he's on his way to prison) and is not too good in bed (too quick and hates toys) but at least he's faithful or so she thinks. (He'd be more attractive to her if she thought he was unfaithful.) One day after an unsatisfactory morning glory with Herschel, she helps stranger Evan with directions but he chloroforms her and takes her to his mansion where she's bound and ministered to by him and his maid Rebecca (in a silly French maid outfit).

At first she's difficult but Evan is the gentleman and doesn't rape her immediately (or at all really). Instead he plies her with champagne and expresses his love for her. She's a hopeless actress when it comes to emoting--here, fear--but probably no worse than the typical "B" star. The schmaltz doesn't help. She tests the limits by acting childishly and for that he suspends her in an archway and lightly taps her with a riding crop. I suppose we should take this as symbolism but her near-immediate concession is unbelievable.

Ginger is still pushing the limits but you can see she's becoming convinced that Evan is her Prince Charming and a good replacement for Herschel. They go for a picnic in the grounds which results in dreamy sex, and then after a walk by the lake Evan presents her with a "real" diamond necklace and they have some more sex. Finally he assures her that her children are being well taken care of and allows her to call them. This is sickening but it's every woman's dream! Unfortunately for Ginger it really was her dream and as the movie ends Herschel is bringing home some business associates one of whom is Evan.

Adajja is a fly-blown blonde with curly hair and the girlfriend of Ginger. She and Ginger talk on the phone in the beginning and we see pool boy Tyler screw Adajja. In her first night of captivity, Ginger dreams of a five way with her, Alexandra, Kelsey, Randy, and Lexington and at the end of the movie she has a g/g with Rebecca. These were all gratuitous padding, especially the g/g which may well annoy the intended audience. Alexandra is also Herschel's shrink who he pays for a screw during one of their counselling sessions.

Max Hardcore Returns

Peter writes on RAME: He recently has released couple of new films under his Extreme, School Girls, etc. lines. And judging from what I have read about them, nothing has changed, probably he is sicker than ever though.

Making Money In Internet Porn

Webmaster writes on Netpond: It kills me to see all the newbies flock to ia2000 expecting to learn how to webmaster.

Newbies, listen up: ia2000 does NOT teach you how to make millions in the adult industry. ia2000 is beholden to the large sponsors, and all they will teach you is how to be a good little affiliate. You can make a car payment as an affiliate, maybe even a house payment. But to make millions you need to RUN the program, not participate in it.

The big sponsors don't want you to know that. At an ia2000 seminar a year or two ago Ron Levy said something like: "The only way to compete with me is if you have 20 million dollars to spend."

Pure bulls---, but that is the official line at ia2000. The truth is that you can make good money making 20 sales per day on your own traffic selling your own product. Not as much as a few years ago, but still good money. Certainly a lot more than you'd make as an affiliate.

Luke Gets Mail

Ian writes: Hi Luke, I saw you for the first time last night on TV - on a show called (I think) www.sex on the mainstream Channel 5. The show was about how pornstars are exploiting the internet to improve their pensions, and you provided a rather doom-laden intermittent commentary. You did sound as if you were disgusted with the whole business. On two occasions you said that these porn stars were finding new ways to demean themselves, while attempting to suck every possible dollar out of their customers. The first part of this comment was personal opinion (I think, for instance, that your rabbi demeaned himself by chucking you out of his synagogue). The second part was simply unfair. Making as much money as possible out of your customers is normal commerce. It's not stealing, because you have to give your customers in exchange something at least as valuable to them as the money they are paying. That's the invisible hand of capitalism, which makes everyone better off while each person is pursuing his/her own interest. I've little doubt that you'd like to be able to suck a few dollars more out of your sponsors, ie have a more lucrative business. The porn stars are simply utilizing opportunities which have arisen out of new technology to get a larger income from their assets. I see nothing wrong with that, so long as no cheating is involved.

One of your good points is that you take serious points seriously. However, you didn't do yourself justice in that tv programme. No one unfamiliar with your work would have guessed from your performance that you possess a sense of humour, though your readers know it to be one of your strengths.

El Zorro writes: Judging by the statement "Having complete strangers calling you all day saying they loved the look in your eyes while you were sucking dick in a video .." I have to conclude that the "Truths" Guardian is Dee herself unless he turns out to be a gay porno actor.I"ll try to answer a few points from a bundle a mostly non-sensical, non-factual statements:

Ms.Dee continues her rationalizations about her choice of career by pointing out how getting semen all over your face is good four skin.Well in that case Ms. Dee there you have a great opportunity for a new legit business. You could collect all that wasted semen in numerous porno sets and bottled it in some cute little jars a la Oil of Olay and sell them on beauty counters all over the country. It will make women happy without (and this was the point) having to suffer the degradation and humiliation of getting it in a porno set from some unknown jerk paid to do so.

As for the strange comment about Sharon Stone f---ing in a "straight" set, yes MsDee, if she ever does it she could be called a hooker. Finally, I am not down on porn or consider it immoral. What I was against was the hypocritical stances, the rationalizations to cover up a basic pathology involved in any one choosing it as a profession.I respect the ones who would say yeah I do it because I like the pathology,the sicknes of it and so what!

As for reading Luke's site I do it, and Luke can correct me, because i think it is the only site that keeps an objective critical look on this bizarre world of porno and by doing so renders a great social and cultural service by throwing light in that shadowy world.

Coyote writes: Dear Mr. Ford: I've been reading your website for nearly 2 years now. I think that you provide a service to men like myself who sometimes consume pornography - you tell us what it actually is, and in doing so, keep up from becoming swept up in its fantasies of easy access to sex with beautiful women. Thanks for the reality check.

You should know that there are several precedents for severe prosecution of organized crime figures who threaten journalists. They may sue you for libel or slander, but if they threaten your life,.wellbeing, or livelihood, you have grounds for a lawsuit yourself, and you also would be taken quite seriously by the police regarding any complaints you might make.

On a personal note: I have not yet read your "History of X", but I intend to do so. From what I have seen, as a consumer of pornography, the women who choose to involve themselves in "The Industry" do so mostly due to economic necessity. But the horror stories of porn stars becoming cheap drug-addicted street whores are just that, I think - horror stories.

Ninety percent of the women who involve themselves in pornography eventually leave it, and pursue different lives - we only hear the horror stories. While the negative experiences with porn may scar them it seems that most girls make their money, then leave, having had some meaningless sex, and a great deal of profit. What do you think, Mr. Ford? Am I fooling myself?

I've known several women who stripped for a living. Only one of them has ever made an adult film before, though. But - I've asked them this - all of them have felt more scarred by the disapproval of their families than by the profession they chose. Perhaps, however, familial disapproval and the sex trade are inextricable. This would seem to be obvious, but I have heard of people like Chloe, Nancy Vee, and Bridgette Kerkove attending sets and industry functions with members of their families. Is this common?

I hope you keep writing. I also hope you find a means of worship in a shul that you can live with. While, personally, I'm wrestling with my Catholicism, I have great sympathy for your struggle for spiritual union with the Lord. Some of my male relatives were (and are) Jesuit priests.

P.S. In the early nineties, there was a porn star named "Papillon" - half Filipina, half caucasian (no relation to Steve McQueen), famous mostly for the lovely tattoo of a butterfly she had where normally her pubic hair would grow. I wonder whatever happened to her. She seemed to be a genuinely interesting person, and she was tremendously sexy (then again, if she was really interesting, perhaps that's why she left the business). Do you know what happened with her?

LT writes: Luke, when I asked you how often talk on the set turned to breast implants...you replied - frequently. What sort of variations on the topic come up the most?

I can guess: talk of the "deal" they got, how "good" or "nice" their doctor is, or how they "don't have any scars." In any of your times on set, have you ever heard implanted women urging natural women to get breast implants?...what about directors? (if so, please give examples)

Have you ever heard anyone on set discuss problems they've had with their implants, how bad the pain was, dissatisfaction with the results in any way (i.e. scarring), complaints, bitching about who suggested they get breast implants in the first place, etc.? (again, if so please give examples) What about what Nina Whett told you?

I know of directors and agents who have gone out of their way to make sure natural breasted women work only around other women with big fake tits in hopes that it will influence them. There have even been cases where another porn starlet has been requested to "discuss" the subject with the reluctant ones. Add in some well placed comments to build the feeling of inadequacy, and there you have another running off to some ENT to be sliced open. If that doesn't work, work will dry up.

Girls, even if you get a discount, you're the one that's coming out the loser. Any problems with the implants, replacements...will come out of your purse. And they will have to be replaced...several times in your lifetime. It's all a big game to these jerks. You're just another notch. And with their deals with doctors, if they go to a "suggested" doctor...the same guys are also getting some cash to line their pockets with. It's a shame porn girls can't see through this.

Porn star Ruby writes from the Moonlight Bunny Ranch: Luke, Hey babe, I'm back at the B-Ranch for some much needed affection!! I'm only here till the 7th of July, I have to go to FOXE, and Night of the Stars. Yes, that was me on Stripsearch Las Vegas, and I just did Colin's Sleazy Friends too! I'm glad you got the chance to talk to Dennis. I really have to get a laptop!!

Chaim's got balls to insinuate that I'm an anti-Semite, maybe if he didn't have that erasable personality and took care of himself, he wouldn't have to look for scapegoats, so he blames everyone else for his horrible attitude. Oh, and by the way marriage is the oldest form of prostitution!! A man used to buy his wife from her parents, how's that for pimping!! The saying should read, " You must be a whore to be a housewife!" Marriage would be too confining for me personally. I can cook better than any wife I know!! Thanks for printing my review. My cell phone got turned off, I had a huge bill I'm working on paying off. I can spend it faster than I can make it!!

Chaim Amalek responds to Luke: Is this that shiksa who refused to have sex with me because of my shape? Or perhaps it was my fondness for ethnic foods that she uses as a surrogate for what REALLY offended her about me - my ethnicity. And how did I come up in this exchange, anyway? It is like ripping the scap off of a wound that has not had time to heal.

Luke, I am going to be visiting the Reno area in a few weeks. Can you recommend any nice women with whom I might spend some time? I don't even really want sex from her. I just want to feel special and loved. I want to be held sweetly in my sweet's arms (and long arms they will have to be) and assured that I am not any less of a man for being large in some areas and very small in others (the curse of the inexpertly circumcised). Someone who does not think ill of jews.

And please try to get me someone who will do this wholesale.

Luke Ventures Back Out Into The Orthodox Jews

I've been too disoriented to go anywhere Jewish for a few days. I can't shake the feeling that I am a self created moral pariah.

But Thursday night I summoned the balls to attend Jim Svejda's talk on film put on by an Orthodox Jewish group. I walk up past Rabbi XXX, the warmest most friendly rabbi who examined me a few weeks ago. And he made a special point to welcome me and shake my hand and affirm my questions. And now he must know what I really am. And will he still acknowledge me? I don't want to risk it. I hurry on.

I don't know if he recognizes me...I walk on and crossing the street, where I spot Rabbi CCC...and I love this man and have been to his house twice...but I fear approaching him, his back is turned... I don't feel strong enough to handle the possible rejection, so I ignore him and turn away and walk on.

I walk in to the meeting filled with trepidation. Do you ever get the sense when something significant has happened to you that irrevocably changes your life, that surely this event which is huge for you, must be noted and understood by those around you?

I walk in and I am welcomed by the two Jewish ladies running the program and they tease me on what my tough question will be for Rabbi B tonight. I see two women I used to date. One teaches at a liberal Jewish school where they have a Gay Student Union and two gay rabbis... And a doubters minyan, where skeptics and atheist can go "pray" by expressing their unbelief.

My ex, a secular Jew, tells me about dating a modern Orthodox guy who'd spend shabbat with her and have sex with her but won't turn on a light, which she finds freaky.

I get into a rewarding 10 minute conversation with Jim Svejda (Gentile) of KUSC before the program. He gives a great speech about all the crumby movies he must watch as part of his job for KNX radio.

Afterwards, I ask a question of Rabbi B, the only question of the evening that silences the room. "If you were Jim Sjveda's rav, and he was telling you the toll that reviewing films was taking on his soul, what criteria would you use for judging whether or not he should quit reviewing films?"

Rabbi B takes at least ten seconds to answer, and pushed his skull cap back and forth over his head... and finally gave one brief comment - if he consistently walked out of movies feeling sick and depressed about life.

Another moment in the evening, Rabbi B related a story about behavioral psychologist BF Skinner telling a woman who was knitting in the front row of his audience, that what she was really doing was not knitting. I was the only one who laughed... And Rabbi Bsaid anyone who did not get the joke, could consult Luke afterward. Which made me feel very valued and one of the smart ones on the inner circle.

Strange that little things that I build my self esteem around. I remember in college how public acknowledgement of my brains and insights from my profs meant EVERYTHING to me. And I haven't changed... Now it is rabbis and media attention. Scraps that I am insatiably hungry for.

One of the rabbis on the panel, told me at his home on Rosh Hashanah, that someone like myself with unorthodox views, should still pursue Orthodox Judaism but keep one's unorthodoxy parts to one's self, and develop a thick skin.

Chaim Amalek writes: Just what sort of programming do they have at the Museum of Tolerance? Do they ever discuss things that should not be tolerated? you know Luke, I think that part of what ticks off some people is the belief that your work takes no toll on your soul, that it has no real moral implications for you, whereas it would for them.

Do I have the go-ahead to A) write these cold-hearted Juden warning them of all the jews that they are leading to the cross by their crucifixion of you, and B) contact the press of LA to announce a rally at the shul from which you were banished, to be attended by all the readers of Luke F-rd.com in LA and other of your supporters? Could you write up a press release for me? Also give me the names of some jew journalists to whom it could be sent.

Luke says: I think the Museum of Tolerance is a giant waste of money. They are constantly talking about intolerance and bigotry and racism as things that should not be tolerated. I believe the people behind the Museum would've done better to have spent their effort creating a building for their Orthodox Jewish high school which is now housed in temporary trailers.

The Jewish Position On Pornography

Rabbi Lawrence Grossman writes for the American Jewish Committee: In light of the extensive recent debates over pornography as well as the prominent role that Jews play in American culture, entertainment, and law, it is strange that virtually nothing has been written either on the scholarly level or for a popular audience on the views Jews hold, or the perspectives found in the Jewish tradition, about pornography. Ironically, the dearth of reliable information about Jewish attitudes has enabled two opposite stereotypes -- both potentially hostile to Jews -- to flourish.

At one end of the spectrum are the opponents of pornography who claim that Jews are heavily involved in the business, and that Jews even -- as a recent Libyan ambassador to the UN charged -- control it on an international scale. Such arguments have often been part of a broader attack on Jews as agents of irreligion who plot to undermine traditional Christian -- and, now, Muslim -- morality, a charge that has deep historical roots in the annals of anti-Semitic propaganda.

At the other extreme, ever since the 1960s there have been proponents of sexual "liberation" -- including some Jewish novelists, entertainers, and, yes, pornographers -- who blame traditional Judaism's allegedly strict code of laws controlling personal behavior for promoting sexual repression, guilt, moral hypocrisy, and even social injustice, ills that access to pornography can help cure. The heavy representation of men and women of Jewish origin in the counterculture of the 1960s ensured that Judaism would take its place beside Puritan-style Christianity as a focus for radicals' resentments.

If pornography can both be denounced as a Jewish plot against conventional morality and praised as a salutary revolt against the authority of Judaism, there is surely need for some clarification: What is the Jewish approach?

The statistics are undeniable: American Jews are considerably more tolerant of pornography than other Americans. A 1988 American Jewish Committee survey showed that while 55% of non-Jewish whites and 50% of blacks supported "laws that would ban all forms of pornography," only one-third of Jews agreed, 53% registered opposition, and 14% were not sure. Asked to agree or disagree with a Supreme Court ruling "that Hustler magazine had the constitutional right to print a parody of Reverend Jerry Falwell suggesting he had sexual relations with his elderly mother," 46% of the Jews backed the decision in favor of the magazine, while only 23% of the non-Jews did.

There are several factors influencing the Jews' rather indulgent attitude toward pornography. Their relatively high educational attainments, overwhelmingly urban and suburban residence patterns, and high income all tend to correlate with liberal views on free-speech issues. Furthermore, Jews are, on the whole, far more secular in their outlook and behavior than Christians, and are therefore less likely to be offended by pornography on moral grounds. Finally, as a minority with deep historical memories of persecution and feelings of vulnerability even today, Jews generally oppose giving government the power to interfere in any sphere of private behavior since such power might ultimately be used against unpopular groups such as Jews.

Rob Spallone vs Allure Models

Rob Spallone phoned Luke Thursday afternoon and says this new agent threatened him.

David B. Moore, in porn for two years, says the charges are ridiculous. I spoke with him for 45 minutes Thursday around 5PM.

David says Hustler, Earl Miller, Suze Randall, John Stephens, Hank Londoner, Michael Raven, and Clive McClean have f---ed him and he gave me details. I haven't yet heard from Hustler, Miller, Randall, Stephens and McClean for their perspectives.

David says: "I only have problems with people who cause me problems, who try to cheat me. Anyone who says my contracts are not valid does not know contracts.

"That Nick Pinkowski and Adam & Eve hired an illegal alien, Jody Moore... I am giving Nick Pinkowski the ability to reduce his liability. Because if he pays me directly instead of the model, that helps him. And morally, it is the only correct thing to do, because this f---ing cunt has f---ed everyone around. He should make a statement that send shockwaves through the industry. I'm giving Nick a win-win situation, both legally and ethically."

Rob Spallone says: "Luke, I just got threatened by some f---ing punk. His name is David Moore. He owns Allure Modeling agency at 7507 Sunset Blvd, Suite 204. He operates AllureModels.com. He threatened somebody. He told me he was well connected. I said, 'You're well f---ing connected? Make your f---ing phone calls right now, motherf---er. Call whoever you got to call, tell them you're involved with me, Rob Spallone. That's my f---ing name you cunt.'

"He says he's connected to this and that and his father is a big senator. And he's in the porno business? I want it all over the internet, Lukey.

"I was sleeping. He says he knows Jim South, Paul Fishbein, he's mentioning senator's names. He says he's going to call INS because this girl is working without a visa. He's an agent to these foreign girls.

"He went to Nick Pinkowski's Ultimate set yesterday. Nick shoots big big movies. David comes with this girl... And Nick's sets are big money sets. And Nick's like, 'Listen, I am in the middle of a movie. I've got $70,000 tied up here right now. We'll talk after.'

"The guy supposedly booked the girl on some movies. Then the girl met Nick and Nick booked her. She didn't say she had an agent. That's how all my agent wars started years ago. The girl didn't say nothing. But the guy demands that Nick give him her check. And Nick refuses. And the guy starts threatening Nick. 'You don't know who I am. You don't know who I'm connected to.'

"I didn't find this out until today. I get the guy on the phone. I say, 'My name is Rob Spallone and we've got to get together.' And he says, 'What for?' And I say, 'I want to meet you. You're connected to people and I want to meet you and your people.' He says, 'What makes you think I will introduce you to my people?'

"I say, 'Who the f--- are your people, douchebag? You're connected? Well, tell them to contact me.'

"He was rattled. 'You don't know. I'm connected to this guy and that.' He mentioned senators and stuff."

Luke: "Do you remember names?"

Rob: "No. You know how I get. I was f---ing screaming. Because I'd been sleeping. My wife gets up and says, 'What are you doing? Who's on the phone? Is it the police? You're going to get shot.' I say, 'Relax.'

"So this punk. He's not getting paid. I spoke with Nick."

David Moore says his connections are with the INS and other government agencies and that he's had various people evicted from the country.

Moore says veteran photographer Ron Vogel is one of his best friends in the business.

David says he caused no problems on Nick's set Monday. He was disappointed that Nick did not make a solid commitment to make things right.

David: "Who is Rob Spallone and what is his relationship to you and l-keford.com?"

Luke: "Rob is a longtime friend of mine from the business. He's a loveable maniac."

David: "I'm a maniac too. Everbody knows that I'm a shrew motherf---er. I don't like people f---ing me around man. I've got a model here from f---ing Brisbane, Australia, and she has a one year exclusive managerial contract signed with me. It was signed May 26. I have her passport. I have everything on the girl. And I told her this is an exclusive contract. Everything comes through. I'm her sole and exclusive management in the United States for 12 months.

"A couple of days after this girl got off the plane...But why are you calling me?"

Luke: "Rob Spallone called me up about 20 minutes ago."

David: "A couple of companies in this business have wronged me and maliciously f---ed me. Hustler and Earl Miller and Suze Randall. I have a forged contract from Suze Randall's office. She was stupid enough to fax it to me where it has the fax transmission and the phone number at the top. Unbelievable.

"Then Rob Spallone. What did he tell you?"

Luke: "That you came to Nick Pinkowski's set yesterday and wanted payment for a girl. And Nick told you to wait. He was busy. And you said, I don't want to wait, I want my money."

David: "Rob did not call me like a nice guy. He called me up in this huffy puffy 'I'm going to kill you' attitude voice, and even though he never said it, it was obvious. When he asked for my address because he wanted to come see me, we know that is not to talk about the stock exchange. That's not to talk about the new sweater he bought last week. We know what that is. We're not stupid. I'm a college educated guy and I'm a street educated guy and when somebody says they want my f---ing address, and they're insistent upon it... How am I supposed to take it?

"Rob Spallone says he owns Luke F-rd. Is that true?"

Luke laughs.

David: "He says that he shut down Jim South. Jim South laughed when I said that. I have sources in the industry who say that Jim South has never been shut down.

"I didn't get in Rob Spallone's mix. He called me. I didn't disturb his sleep.

"Here's the bottom line. I'm connected. Does that mean connected to the Mafia? No. Does that mean I'm connected to a bakery ring or a diamond jeweler? No. In the context of what I talked about with Nick, I've got connections at INS. And I've used those connections.

"I made it so Judy Star, Diamond Forever, and Jade, all from Montreal, and Andrea Spinx from the UK, had their privileges forever terminated to come to this country. You can call Chris Hess in Burlington, Vermont. That's the field office that handles customs for the port of entry from Toronto and Montreal.

"Judy Star was maliciously hired behind my back by Hustler and that little conniving f---ing English f--- Clive McClean who you can't trust with your mother at church on Sunday. Everybody knows it and everybody supports their f---ing arguments. And that amazes me. Everybody knows how Clive McClean and Earl Miller and how these f---ing girls are in this business. Everyone knows how Suze Randall is. Suze Randall is one of the most unethical f---ing cunts you will ever meet in your life. I have a signed forged document in my f---ing file cabinet, and the only reason I haven't taken it to the f---ing cops or whatever, is because I'm hoping that one day she has enough wisdom to call me one day and say, 'Hey, you've got a hot looking chick that I've heard about. I want to hire her.'

"It is an employment contract, my contract, that is standard for the industry, that everybody that I do business with and submit talent to has signed. It's a one page contract that promises that when they get Exhibit B, the type I forwarded to Nick, and when I refer talent to them, they are to pay me in accordance to that Exhibit B. They will pay me casting fees of an X amount of dollars per day in perpetuity for as long as they use the talent I referred to them. They agree to never contact the talent directly.

"People like Clive McClean and Earl Miller never signed this thing. Larry Flynt didn't want to sign my agreement. Larry Flynt promised me that he would never ever X-out my name from a model's talent application so that I would not be cut out of my f---ing casting fees. Well, I guess in the first time of the history of Hustler, it happened with David Moore. Because John Stephens, this peripheral f--- who claims to be an agent, went behind my back and sabotaged four of my girls, one of which is this girl [Jody Moore] from Australia.

"My hottest talent, Kara Beach, Andrea Spinx, Mia Tyler, Jody Moore, all four of which are exclusively represented by me, have been sabotaged by John Stephens. He tells them all sorts of malicious slanderous lies. And gets them to where they don't want to work with me. And I had it.

"I'm going to put John Stephens under. I contacted the labor commissioner of the state of California David Gurley. I represent real actors in Hollywood, like Stan Harrington on The Practice. He has a recurring guest starring role on The Practice. I manage him. He's a real actor. SAG [Screen Actors Guild].

"I asked Rob what 'connected' meant to him. And he said, 'Connected means somebody who's a big shot, who knows a lot of big people and he get big things done.' I said, 'Then, by that definition, I'm a connected guy.'

"I found out back in December, like I always do, because I'm connected, I found out through the grapevine that they hired Judy Star from Montreal to work the booth in AVN. Well, she didn't show up. You know why? Because they [INS] stopped her. Because I made a phone call. And I turned her in her pictures and her passport and everything.

"The same thing happened with this girl from England.

"Last Thursday night, Jody [Klaassen-Moore] showed up at our office from Brisbane, Australia. She's got this Brisbane conniving husband by the name of Craig Moore. That f---er comes in to my office, sits down with these two f---ing whores, one of which is his f---ing wife. Isn't that horrible, calling a guy's wife a whore? But she is.

"They sit down in my office. He looks at me and has the nerve to say, 'David, I don't know you man and I'm going to keep an eye out because I've got to learn who you are.' And I said, 'You'll never have to keep an eye out for me. I have to keep an eye out for you. I have strong connections. You're in my country, pal. You're not even supposed to be working here.

"I had her sign additional documents. I lined her up to see Ron Vogel who bid on her to be shot for two days, on the 25th and 26th. But Katina, Ron's assistant, wanted to see them in person. I sent the girls over there. Katina loved the blonde but couldn't use the brunette.

"Let me tell you how f---ed up the Australian broad is. Ron Vogel, one of my best and dearest friends in the business. Believe me, he and I have had almost blowouts because of these f---ing cunts, ok? Ron Vogel gives the key to the husband Craig and says, 'You can stay here Sunday night and Monday night at my condominium.'

"He opens his doors to these foreigners. He doesn't know them from Adam. There's fax machines, cameras, stuff, refrigerator, telephones... The same day they took that key from Ron, the next day they met with Nick from Ultimate. Then committed to shoot with Nick Tuesday and Thursday, after they'd given the commitment to Ron to shoot Monday and Tuesday. And they were already booked on Wednesday with New Sensations. You can call Renee and confirm that.

"I contacted Nick. I've got a connection. I found out through a lot of research that there was a faxed document to Nicole London's telephone number. Nicole is Nick's production manager. I called her. Nick called me back. Nick asked me not to cause any ruckus. I said fine.

"My assistant and I dressed elegantly and extremely professionally. We went to the set yesterday. Did we cause any problems while we were there?"

Female assistant: "No."

David: "We took Nick to the side and handled it professionally."

Female assistant: "Yes."

David: "We didn't raise our voice. We weren't assholes, were we?"

Female: "He was an asshole."

David: "He said to us, I don't have time for this. My assistant said, 'We just gave you the honorable thing. The INS wanted to send an agent with us.' When I make a phone call to the INS, they get on it.

"I took photocopies of the contract [with Jody] and showed Nick. It shows clearly that I'm the one who should be paid. In mainstream, I don't have these problems. The protocal is that the agent or manager always gets the pay. These people in the adult business don't get it.

"What really pisses me off, Luke, just like I told Nick and Jerry Tanenbaum and everyone else, why in the f--- would you want to help a f---ing whore? A whore who shouldn't even be working here. It's going to get you in trouble. You're not supposed to employ illegal aliens. This girl is the problem. She's the cause. You need to punish her. You need to send a message to the industry that you're not going to let this happen. Do your part to clean this genre up to make it a better place to work. So that girls and everybody act more professionally.

"Nick wanted to read the contract, so all I did was go out there and show Nick this. I've never raised my voice to him. He called me today and cursed me out.

"I called Adam & Eve because Nick told me that it was an Adam & Eve cooperative production. He told me that he contacted Adam & Eve and asked for their advice. So I called A & E because I needed to secure my payment. And he got mad at me for calling them. And I got mad at Adam & Eve because Mary Dean is so f---ing ignorant, she's trying to tell me that this contract is between me and the model. Which is true. But it subsequently includes other people.

"I don't care if the girls have another agent. I manage real actors who all have agents. Many of my actors have a theatrical agent, a literary agent, a print agent. But I'm the manager who supersedes all of it.

"People from Paramount, Universal, Sony, Disney, don't call me like Rob Spallone did.

"John Stephens is some peripheral guy who does what I do. He owns MatrixModels.com. It is a portal site. It's content that he purchased. He doesn't really represent those girls. Do you know that a couple of the girls on his site are dead? You can call Scotty Pregetzer from XXXSpacegirls.com because he's bought the same content. This guy is a loser. I'm a California C corporation. I don't own a dime to anyone in this business. I've never misrepresented a model. I've never not delivered a model that an employer asked for.

"I'm the straightest f---ing arrow in the bag and this is what pisses me off that I have all these problems with people because of their f---ing lack of integrity. I'll never forget what Dion Guiarusso of Elegant Angel said at the AVN show. This was when Dion and I were getting along until Patrick Collins stepped in. Nobody gets along with Patrick. I'll never forget introducing Dion to my wife at the AVN show. And Dion put a big grin on his face, 'This man has more integrity than anyone I know, not just in this business.'

"And do you know what my wife said back to him, the first thing that rolled off her lips? 'Yes, and that integrity of his is causing us a lot of problems in this business.' Now I want you to think for a minute. How can a virtue like integrity cause a problem? Only in porn.

"Rob said to me, 'You can't even go into Hustler anymore.' Whoopee. That's not a loss. Do you want to know why? I blew them out. I'm the one who called Larry and said, 'f--- off, f---er.' Because they annexed my name off the talent application after they told me that they would never do that. And John Stephens got the f---ing casting fees.

"If you look on the June issue of Hustler, you will see Mia Tyler on there. I can prove to you and to a court of law that I am the one who submitted her and got her accepted by Hustler. I have all the fax transmissions from my fax. I have all the email. I have all the pictures I sent. I have all the correspondence with Clive. I could subpoena Laura Coden and have testify her testify in court that I am the one who contacted Hustler first with Mia Tyler. And I did not get paid the $600 casting fee. John Stephens did.

"Do you know how many major players in the game have supported me for what I'm doing now? At least half a dozen. I can't mention names. They've told me David, you must do what you have to do. You must send a message out. You can't allow these girls to continue to do this. This is the third time this has happened to you. Once with the girls from Canada. The second time with the UK girl. If you don't take action now, you're a coward.

"I don't have any personal problems with Rob Spallone or Nick [Pinkowski]. But now I do because he's threatening to come over and hurt me and my family. He's not directly threatened that but come on, we're not stupid."

This is what David Moore emailed Nick and Adam & Eve:

"By virtue of the exclusive U.S. management contract we have with Jody Klaassen-Moore, talent recently used by your production, it is at our discretion to direct any and all employers to pay this corporation all of her gross earnings for her services. The appropriate power of attorney documents that Jody signed give us full power to do so... It is our sincere goal to avoid the swift and devastating involvement of INS over this matter but we will have to get them involved to protect our best interests if we do not get paid all of her gross wages... We have taken action like this before and the result for employers in this genre was costly and ugly. Fortunately for us, our liability in this matter as far as INS is concerned, is minimal because we are not the employer of the illegal alien, but only the manager..."

Luke says: David is right in that this is exactly the way things function in mainstream entertainment. Payment is sent to the talent's agent or manager.

David: "I called Adam & Eve and this f---ing bitch Mary Dean starts telling me that it is between her and me and that she would advise Nick not to pay me. And go ahead and contact her attorneys. And I told her, 'You don't want to do this. You guys are an exposed company and this is a volatile industry. Just pay me my f---ing money and let me deal with the f---ing model. Wash your hands on this deal.'

"This model doesn't have any recourse, Luke, she's not a f---ing citizen. She doesn't even have a f---ing work visa. She can't even f---ing be pursuing this. She's not even supposed to be working here. The INS always goes after the employer and the girl."

Luke: "Was your father a senator?"

David: "Absolutely. Four times. Not in this state. And he's dead down. He died in November, 1996. He was a Colonel, a veteran of World War II and Korea. He was highly decorated. I didn't know him as well as I would've liked to because he lived in a different state than where I was raised. My parents divorced. He still paid child support on me until I was 18.

"You should ask Ron Vogel how much grief people in this business have caused me. I have people like Earl Miller who promised one of my models that he already had her pre-approved by Jane Haimlisch and Bob Guccione to be published in Penthouse. He brought her all the way out here from f---ing Virginia. Come to find out that he shoots her under his own general model release, made her cry the second day of the shoot, worked her 13 hours a day for $500 bucks and brought her to tears because he beat her up so bad because she was a non-experienced model.

"This business is built on non-experienced models. That is what these companies want. They don't want the full blown professional model because that is not conducive to the fresh new meat that they need. Earl Miller then got a phone call from me. I found out by calling Jane Haimlisch that he never submitted this girl to Penthouse. There was no pre-approval. That f---er baited that girl in, baited me in, just to get his own f---ing photo sets so he could sell them to all the peripheral magazines like Cheri and Swank and High Society. He never had any intention of shooting that model for Penthouse, that f---ing rat bastard.

"And then Suze Randall forges a document and sends it to me and for nine f---ing months, I send her talent until I caught wind of it. Somebody at AVN gave me an inside scoop that that wasn't her signature. So I contacted f---ing Suze and she turns into a f---ing cunt like a pompous bitch.

"I said to her, 'I don't know why you have such a f---ing haughty attitude because you're a f---ing pornographer, bitch. What the f--- are you doing? You're ruining people's lives, man.'"

Luke: "How is she ruining people's lives?"

David: "Because she's f---ing further perpetuating the f---ing dysfunctionalism of these f---ing girls, man. She's a f---ing pornographer. She's not a f---ing helpmate, man. She's not a f---ing crisis center. She further perpetuates their dysfunctionalism. She doesn't have a f---ing right to have an attitude in this business as the best photographer ever.

"I said, 'Yeah, you shoot nude f---ing models. You can't talk about it in church, Suze. Come on. Why do you think people put dirty magazines underneath their f---ing bed? Because they can't put them on their coffee tables. Come on Suze, don't give me this s---.

"Then you have guys like Clive McClean. Clive McClean promised. I have the assignment confirmation in my posssession. I have a file of f---ing Hustler, those f---s. Clive McClean gave me a signature on an assignment confirmation and sat with my assistant, my wife, who speaks five languages, (German, French, Arabic, Spanish, English). She's translated for Clive from English to French for their French video market.

"We sat down with Clive in Hustler on the eighth floor and he specifically told her in English... Because Judy didn't want to do boy-girl. She's a f---ing full blown lesbian. She doesn't like dicks. Any time she catches a dick, it's like biting a bullet. And Clive says to her, in front of our face and in writing, 'Listen, I want to shoot you for centerfold. But she'll have to give me a boy-boy-girl scene for my Hustler XXX. We said fine and inked the deal.

"He never shot her for Hustler centerfold. Why? Because Alan McDonnell and Larry Flynt never even knew she'd been submitted. He didn't even have the right to do that. Do you know why he was able to make the decision with Hustler XXX? Because that's his baby through Rubber Duck Inc. That's his corporation, that's separate from Larry. And he can make independent decisions, as the head honcho, for Barely Legal Video and Hustler XXX.

"I've become connected. I know all these things on people. I've got forged documents from some of the biggest f---ing names in this business.

"I've got Rob Spallone getting mad at me. He should be my friend. We should go out together and kill people. If he knew what I was under, it's horrible.

"I honestly don't believe that Nick knew of the double booking problem with Ron Vogel and New Sensations. I don't believe these f---ing cunts told him that. But I told Nick, now that you do know about it, you need to help me. Do not help these whores. Do not pay them that f---ing money. Let me be the one to get paid and let me execute the 85% to her within five days so that I can get my commission and I can get those f---ing cunts over to my office so they can hear an earful of s--- from me.

"This is how it was left with Nick. Nick said he would call me on Monday. I don't want one more conversation given to anyone else, not one fax or you will not get your money. And I hung up with him and said fine. And I'll be a motherf---er if five minutes later, Rob Spallone hops into it and says I'm not going to get paid. After Nick said that he would talk with me before making his decision.

"I don't know who Rob Spallone is and he doesn't know who I am. The same way that he needs me to use respect and caution with how I treat him, he needs to do the same thing. It's called the principle of reciprocation. You can't call people and tell them that you're going to come over to their place. I never used a physical threat with Nick. I used a legal parameter threat. Rob needs to take some time and we'll probably end up buddies. I've never wronged anyone in this business.

"Everybody knows how Suze Randall, Earl Miller and Clive McClean are... Everybody knows how f---ing horrible, cheating, non-paying Michael Raven is. I have models to give you validated quotes proving my statements are correct. I can prove everything about Hank Londoner. I have all the models to prove all this stuff. I have models who got shortchanged and didn't get paid what they said they were going to get paid by Michael Raven. I have all this stuff in writing. I'm very document. I have all the support I need if any cases come against me.

"Because everybody knows this, they should be f---ing ashamed of themselves for ever going against me and attacking me for fighting these f---s who do this s---. They should be on my side f---ing clapping and giving me a loud 'Bravo.' Because they know how these f---ing people are. How out of control these people are."

I called Michael Raven for comment and he said David Moore wasn't worth commenting on.

Rob Spallone says to Luke: "This guy turned in Hustler and a few of his own girls coming across the border. The guy's bad news. Nobody will deal with this guy. Tell David that he f---ed with the wrong guy this time. Spallone has already made calls so that nobody will deal with him. He's like Sharon Mitchell to me now, he's a big bitch."

Rob called Luke Friday morning before 9AM.

Rob: "I stopped by his office and he wasn't there. I wanted to show him my new f---ing sweater and he wasn't there. Not one person has something nice to say about this guy."

James DiGiorgio tells Luke: "I can't believe David Moore opened his mouth like he did. How many people did he just blow off that he will never get work from? Calling Clive McClean a cunt and an asshole and all that is one thing but calling Clive an Englishman, Clive will never forgive that. He's Scottish. He will never forgive.

"And all those girls David mentioned were his? I wanted to write three letters after each one of their names - who? Jade Who? I've never heard of them. I've never heard of David Moore.

"And David's a rat with this INS crap. Luke, I want to send him cheese sandwiches."

Geoffrey Jones from writes: "Luke, I wanted to thank you for yesterday and today's written entertainment. I do not know David More, but he might want to consider taking some advice from those senators about talking on the record with the press. I have a feeling when all is said and done he might want to eat that huge s--- sandwich he has made for himself this week and get on the phone and do some serious damage control. LA is the land of many agents and it is always a good idea to keep the climate at a professional level even if some clients could have possibly wronged him in the past. As for immigration issues, that is playing with fire. A talent agent for the most part sets up/brokers deals between the talent and the production company for a fee that is usually a percentage of the aliens paycheck or a flat fee from the same source. That makes the agent part of the hiring process hence; just as guilty for paying an illegal or non resident to work. I would be careful using an agency like the INS as muscle because one day they may turn on him for aiding/brokering the illegal hire. What is the deal with the whole connected thing? If someone says they are, then they are probably not. Actions speak louder than words."

David says: I am not holding anyone's passport. I hold copies of someone's passport. I have signed people to legitimate contracts. So why do these people think this contract is not enforceable?

Gregory Bowman writes: It seems as If Mr. Moore is quite the hostle lil agentboy. Talent, you may want to ask yourself if you would want this man representing you?? He has made it very apparent that he hates quite a few people in the industry; people who pay for his agency to function. I hope talent will read his words and realize that he is not what a manager should be. A manager or agent supports his talent; he doesn't kick them out of the country. An agent makes friends with those who hire his talent; he certainly doens't air his dirty laundry making enemies in the mean time. I think Mr. Moore should realize his position and apologize to those who keep his cup full. We all have disagreements but to come out in the fashion he did bashing both talent and companies makes him look like a spoiled little brat who is having a temper tantrum.

Mr. Moore, maybe you should consider a new line of work, I you seem to be the type that would fit right in at the DMV or Post Office. You Sir, are no Robert Lombard.

David Moore says: "Gregory doesn't know the facts. And he's going to take the word of a lying f---ing whore. I do have friendships with people who hire my talent. I don't have friendships with people who rip me off and cause me nothing but grief. Clive McClean, John Stephens, Jody Moore took money out of my cup.

"You want to talk about Robert Lombard? I know a girl who swears that she did a job for a B movie company... And Lombard said she was getting $5000 for a movie, but she didn't get the fully pay. He took some of that out. I never tell talent how much they are getting paid. I have to put those people in contact with the employer and they have to finalize the deal. But many managers act like agents, which is against the law. I don't negotiate deals for my models. That's what agents do. Ford and Elite modeling agents can tell their models how much the job pays.

"Jim South may be a licensed agents but he seldom agents anybody. He can't double dip like a manager. He goes after the companies for fees. I don't procure employment for girls, I put them in touch with companies so they can procure their own employment."

Bryan Kushner writes: What a schmuck!! You don't take forged contracts to the police, it's a civil matter!!! Also, he's connected to the INS?? Anyone can call the INS and report illegal aliens...I hope Robby Spallone puts the f---ing squash on this asshole...Talking s--- he owns a girl from Brisbane, has her passport and s---...Laughable.

I bet this guy Stan Harrington really likes the fact this guy is managing him and 20 whores..Funny thing is if you go to www.imdb.com and search Stan Harrington, he's not even there....They list everyone who's ever had a movie or tv credit. This guy is FULL OF s--- Luke.

Do you really think the INS gives a flying f--- about some chick who comes over for a few weeks??? She's allowed in the country for sometime, even when visa expires I've never heard of the INS chasing down a simple porn bimbo.

David Moore says to Brian: "You fool. Forged documents are a criminal matter, not civil matter. Anybody who sides with the whores in this business, unless she signed with Metro or Sin City and they didn't honor the contract, is crazy. I'm looking right now at Stan Harrington's resume and he guest starred in The Practice, ABC and numerous other productions. These idiots. You bet the INS cares about a chick who comes over to do porn for a few weeks and make $20,000. Yes, the INS does care because it is motivated by right wing Christians and left wing feminists. Do you know how many people out there would love to shut down this business and shut down Adam & Eve."

David Moore says to Luke: "Every company in this business should put a small paragraph in their contract that the talent signing this document that they do not have any representation unless already noted. If it is discovered that the talent does have representation, and there's proof, then your gross wages would be severely penalized.

"That would make the girls think twice. That's the solution.

"Everybody hates my profession. Everybody says to me, 'David, you need to get out. It's the ugliest stupidest dilettante infested business and David Moore has had it with all the dilettantes that infest this business. It's time for a mainstream injection of protocol and professionalism."

Laila writes Luke: Hello, This is the assistant of David Moore. I read the article you have published about Mr. Moore, and I like it. I hope people that read it will get the message: you don't have to lick dirty ass holes to make a living, you better beg in the streets and make a decent living....

These people that gave comments at the end of the article protecting talent, photographers and porn companies should really think about what they are talking about. It seems that even if you dig it in their heads, they won't get it!! Amazing... are these stupids aware of what a "whore" means? A "whore" is not a woman that "f---s for money", but it's a woman that "f---s others out of their money", and that's who we are dealing with in this case and we'll be dealing with forever in this business. If you're doing the wrong thing by f---ing in front of the camera or the video, then do it right and don't jump ships like if you change dicks on the set!!

Well, I just wanted to put my grain of salt: Mr. Moore, myself and his wife form a great working team, we're not really into this unfair porn business as much as we are into mainstream; therefore, I really think that as much as we want to teach others the correct thing, they will still stick to their stupid opinions and ideas that will always keep them way behind: the way I felt about them when I read the article. I sleep nicely at night every night.... I hope they do.

Gene Ross 'Scat Man'?

Curious writes: I am deeply troubled by the indisputable decline of Gene Ross since he has joined Extreme Associates. Today he interviewed a grown man dressed up like a bowl movement! A BOWEL MOVEMENT! He has gone from being the Dean of Porn Journalism to this?!

Gene Ross sez: Dear Curious, since I spent close to 15 years eating it, I figured I might as well get paid now to interview it. By the way, "s---" translated phonetically from the Latin present tense of the verb scio, scis, scire means "he knows."

Kevin Beechum Sets The Record Straight

Pornographer Kevin Beechum owns the porn production companies KBeech, Erotic Angel and Midnight Video. He's a tough guy with connections to the underworld.

From Michigan, Beechum entered porn around 1981. He hung out a lot with Anthony and Butchie Peraino, of Deep Thoat fame, and mobsters Salvatore and Natale Richichi.

According to the court case US vs Reuben Sturman from the Seventh Circuit No. 94-2527: "In November of 1991, Herbert Feinberg, an employee of Sturman's, asked Kevin Beechum to hire some people "to smash a bookstore in Phoenix, Arizona." Beechum hired Jay Brisette, Donald Mares, and Paul Mahn and instructed them to vandalize one of Green's stores because she wasn't paying the money which she owed."

A few years ago, I promised Kevin Beech, like I've promised many people, to call them before I published about them. As I've done many times, I broke that promise to Kevin six weeks ago. I called him Thursday morning to apologize. And to talk about the conversation I had last Friday with Mickey Fine aka Herberg Feinberg, who called me from jail.

Herbert Feinberg tells Luke: "Reuben Sturman was wrong, in respect that they didn't owe him no money. And that's how I got in trouble. Because Sturman told me that he was going to jail and they didn't want to pay him because he was going to jail. And he asked me to go do some collecting. And it is the truth. I went to Kevin and Kevin went to Jay [Brisette]. Kevin didn't go to the other people [involved in the bombing]. Jay went to the other people."

Luke: "Is Jay still in jail?"

Herbert: "No, he's out already. Everybody's out already. I'm calling you from jail."

Luke: "How long are you in for?"

Herbert: "Forty years."

Luke calls Kevin:

Luke: "I wanted to call to apologize for not calling you before I published about you."

Kevin: "Buddy, I'm sitting with the bomber [Jay Brisette] right and he's f---ing... Hey Jay, he wrote in his f---ing press thing that I ratted out Mickey Fine because you guys used my credit card and that's how I got caught. Where did you get that, bro?"

Luke: "Umm... Wasn't that in that court case?"

Kevin: "Noooooooo. They didn't use my credit card."

Jay: "It's the bikers outlaws..."

Kevin: "There were no bikers, dude. The feds made that one up. Because the one guy hung out with some biker guy."

Jay: "We were riding dirt bikes. So we were a biker gang."

Kevin: "Whereever you got that dude, some of that info is made up. The feds make half of that s--- up."

Luke: "The bikers didn't rent their car in Chicago on your credit card?"

Kevin: "No. Jay, who'd you rent the car from? I'm sitting with the guy who just got out of prison."

Jay: "I'm paying the motherf---ing bill."

Kevin: "He's paying the f---ing bill on his credit card right now. That's one of his things when he got out of prison, he had to pay for the car [which blew up when a bomb accidentally exploded]."

Luke: "So the car was on Jay's credit card?"

Kevin: "Yeah."

Luke: "So that is Mr. Brisette you have there?"

Kevin: "Yeah."

Luke: "Ohmigod."

Jay: "Who's that?"

Kevin: "Luke F-rd. He writes this thing on the internet, that I ratted you out because you guys used my credit card. No bro, we only ratted out the f---ing guy [Mickey Fine] that f---ed us and didn't pay us the f---ing money that he promised us. Because he kept it for himself."

Luke: "He called me from prison. He wanted me to read him what I'd written about him. How's Mr. Brisette doing these days?"

Kevin: "He's doing great. He's sitting right across from me."

Jay: "I wouldn't go 'Great.' I'm doing allright."

Kevin: "Better than sitting in that f---ing cell for eight years. He got ten."

Luke: "But he got out early for good behavior?"

Kevin: "I don't know about that. Usually with feds, you have to do 85% of the time."

Luke: "You guys were bikers?"

Kevin and Jay simultaneously: "Noooooo."

Jay: "Motorcross bikers."

Kevin: "They weren't bikers. They just f---ed around. The feds made it up that it was some f---ing bike gang."

Luke: "Which guy blew himself up?"

Jay: "The low man on the totem pole."

Kevin laughs. "It was Donny Mares."

Luke: "Where's Paul Mahn?"

Jay: "He's probably getting out this year."

Kevin: "Reuben [Sturman] and I never talked, bro. It was all through Mickey Fine. They came to me first for our Arizona deal [bombing of a bookstore that owed Sturman money]. Then Jay took the guys to Arizona and came back. And Mickey wanted another job done. I was out of the picture. I wasn't even involved. Then them guys went and did it. Then that big incident [while on the way to blow up a store that owed Sturman money, the bikers had their bomb accidentally go off in their car, killing one of them, and injuring two of them] in Chicago where the guy blew up and died and dadadadada.

"The word was that Reuben [Sturman] would take care of the lawyers, etc, if these guys got in trouble. Word is that Reuben gave Mickey the money for the lawyers and to take care of everything, but Mickey never gave us the f---ing money. He said there was no money. He wanted me to come up with the money. I said, 'f--- you, I'm out of this picture.' He said, 'f---, there ain't no money. Do what you've got to do.'

"Well, that means, 'f--- you.' So we had to f--- him back. We buried him and said 'He did it. He hired us.'"

Luke: "Well, he did hire you."

Kevin: "We wouldn't have told on him if he'd have paid us, taken care of our lawyers and everything. But he didn't do it.

"The deal was, when the feds asked him to cooperate, he said, 'No, f--- that. I'm not cooperating.' They call that the first tier. And that would've given him ten years [in prison] if he would've cooperated. He said no. So then, after three months went by, he had his lawyer contact the feds and say, 'Now I will cooperate.' So they went to him and said, 'Here's the deal. Now you're tier two.' Which gave him 25 years. So he said, 'f--- it. I'll take my chances.'"

Luke: "Kevin, so all you did was connect Mickey Fine to Jay Brisette?"

Kevin: "Yep."

Luke: "Did you know Donald and Paul?"

Kevin: "I knew Little Joe, who went with them, but I wasn't buddies with them. Little Joe was from Michigan like us. Little Joe is out. He's located right here.

"I don't know who gave you that story about my credit card. I was laughing on that one. I said, 'Wait a minute. I told this f---er to call me before he ever prints anything.'

"I'll tell you what else you can f---ing print, pal. That story you f---ing had about f---ing Kenny sending those f---ing guys in to f--- with David [Sturman]? Well, you can put in there that I told Kenny that he can suck my dick and take them f---ing wiseguys that he did bring over to David, to bring them over to my office and see how f---ing bad they were. And they were all too f---ing chicken to come over because they were all too f---ing chicken to come over because they're all f---ing has-been wiseguys. The same with Kenny. He's a wiseguy only with his mouth."

Luke: "Who is Kenny Gallo aka Kenji?"

Kevin: "Kenny's a f---ing little punk Chinese f---er that thinks he's a wiseguy Italian."

Luke: "He seems to have a lot of connections."

Kevin: "He's was a little f---ing runner for the boys in the day that would do anything and so he was associated with some. Big deal. The coattails, he's trying to scare everybody. Or he gets them to come into their office like he did with David [Sturman]. After that, David called me and f--- dude, I called Kenny and said, 'Bring them punks over here.' And they were too chicken to come over."

Luke: "Could you have handled Jimmy Caci? He's a big mobster."

Kevin: "He can suck dick."

Luke: "What's Kenny's full name?"

Kevin: "I don't know dude. He's f---ing Chinese. He's got four different names that he tries to go by and puts Italian names on. Who f---ing knows. He didn't shake down David like that. They went in there but as soon as they walked out of there, David called me. I got right on Kenny's f---ing ass and those guys. And they actually got together and called me on the phone through a mediator and they asked me to not be after them and be pissed off after them."

Luke: "Did you know Salvatore and Natale Richichi?"

Kevin: "He was one of my partners before. Sal and I used to rent the Essex building together. I was KBeech and he was LA Video. His father was Big Chris [Natale Richichi] who was John Gotti's right hand guy. His dad was a made guy. Before you print all that s---, you should go get some books on it. They've got pictures of them all together on the front of the book [Gangland]. There's a bunch of books, dude, I used to have them all."

Luke: "Do you own FB Printing with Frank Barbarino?"

Kevin: "We're just buddies. We're just friends, man. That's another thing you wrote. We just say we're partners because we're best friends."

Luke: "Do you hang out with a guy called Lou Caruso who works out at the gym Power House off DeSoto in Chatsworth?"

Kevin: "Louie's been in prisoner, bro, for the last couple of years. He just got out. But yeah, we're buddies with him."

Luke: "So, is Mr. Brisette leading a straight and legal life now?"

Kevin laughs: "Of course. But if you can find some crime for him..."

Kevin laughs heartily.

Luke: "I hear that Farrah owes you six movies?"

Kevin: "Here bro, I'll give you an answer that you can print. She calls me, dude, and I never return her calls. If she catches me when I answer the phone, that's how she talks to me. To fulfill her contract, she owes us seven pictures which equals $14,000. I'd rather have her pay me the $14,000 or have somebody buy me out of her because she's not going to shoot another movie for anybody until she fulfills this f---ing contract. She's never fulfilled one since we helped her ass out when Chuck used to beat the s--- out of her when we first got her.

"Also, this girl's a whacko case. And if she thinks she's going to make a comeback, good luck."

Luke: "Are you interested in having her make those seven movies for you?"

Kevin: "I'd rather have the money bro. But if I can't get the money, I'll stick the bitch in the f---ing movies to get my money back. I made her a deal before but she never sticks to one of her deals. I made her a deal that she could shoot one movie for me and one movie for someone else on a monthly basis. That only lasted one month. And she disappeared. She's never fulfilled one deal she's ever done. All I've done is help that chick and she's never done anything for this company.

"We made a deal with her back when she did the Vivid contract. And f---ing didn't even know what she read or did. And she f---ing thought she was a big shot because I wouldn't resign her. Then she went and did it with Vivid. And a month later she comes in here bawling. She doesn't want to work for anybody but us. So I read the contract and called Stevie up and he said, 'Just pay me back the couple gran advancement and you can have her.'

"Fine. I took her back and made her a deal with all the money she owed me. And made a new 12 picture contract with her for $24,000. She owed for previous loans, borrowing, cars, bulls---, dadadadadadada. She's never fulfilled one of those deals. She did five movies. She owes us seven."

Luke: "How well do her movies sell?"

Kevin: "They suck. Yeah dude, the only reason that people liked her is that she used to be cute. And that's when we got her, when she was young and cute and she didn't have an attitude. She's been kicked out of every dance club in America, dude. She f---ed every club there was."

Luke suspects this is a gross overstatement.

Kevin: "We had her getting high money [for stripping]. She screws up everything she does."

Luke: "I thought she was your girlfriend?"

Kevin: "Well, I used to f--- her two years ago, when she first came out here, when Chuck brought her here for six months."

Luke: "Has Dan Beck paid you the money he owes?"

Kevin: "Yes he has and he's also gotten sober and straight. He's doing some deal with my guy Jeff Snyder. [Dan] owns some internet company on the East Coast."

Luke: "What about Shay Sweet?"

Kevin: "She does a movie a month for us. She shoots for anybody. We just LA Lamonte. She's going to do a movie a month. We've got Teri Weigel doing a movie a month. And Taylor Wane doing a movie a month. And whatever girls we substitute into the other movies. We put out eight features a month."

Luke: "Is Mad Jack still shooting for you guys?"

Kevin: "No dude. As of January this year, we only shoot big budget pictures. No more cheap junk anymore. We used to put out half good features and half that cheap s--- that him and Don [Fernando] used to shoot. But I don't put that stuff out anymore. Steve Drake used to shoot a cheap line and we don't even do them anymore. Everything's got to be big budget, either sold to Playboy or TEN or Vivid Hot. We've found out that if you shoot good movies you've got more angles to sell them.

"Taylor Wane shoots her own movie each month. Cash Markman does two a month. Billy Moon shoots three features a month. Then this other dude does a black title a month that sells to Spice. And then he's bringing us these ones from Europe that are big budget features that are really good."

Luke: "Did you enter porn through Arrow Productions?"

Kevin: "Bro, I got in the business with Visual Entertainment with Tommy Sinnopoli. Then got done with them and I ended up at Larry Fields. That's when Anthony Peraino approached me and Vinnie DeStefano to come to work with them guys at Arrow. Then Larry Fields place, one of the biggest one-stops [for porn distribution] of all time, burnt down and he accused me of burning his place down. When I left, all my sales guys came with me, and his place burned down and he accused me. I was in court over that.

"Then I started with Arrow and Vinnie went to prison. Then me and the old man [Anthony Peraino], who used to be in the Colombo family, were partners and we opened up KBeech Video. Then we closed Century Video. And then I used to run Arrow. s--- dude, we were huge. Then the feds got [about 1991]. They had us for everything - racketeering and organized crime, obscenity... I was partners with Tony [Peraino] for five years."

Luke: "Ahh, those were the days."

Kevin: "Those were the good days."

Luke: "That's when this industry had some discipline."

Kevin: "That's right. I tell you what. If Reuben Sturman was around today, we wouldn't be in this shape. I hate to say it, but when organized crime was in this business, it was a good business. But now that they're all gone and put away and there ain't any, it f---ing sucks. Now we've got all these Israelis killing the f---ing business. Chaim, Danny MaMaine, Joseph [Shemesh]. They're all whores. None of them have any business sense at all.

"Chaim does the same thing that Mark Carriere does. He makes 50 titles a month and changes the box, puts the tape in it, and puts them out. It's all junk. They sell the s--- for a buck and a quarter [per tape]. Now people are starting to see that if you make junk and you buy junk, sooner or later, your business will go down."

Chaim Amalek replies: "These are damnable lies. My product is never repetitious or derivative of other people's work, never shoddy in any way, and this guy knows it. Please set the record straight. Not all jews are shysters."

Kevin Beechum says: "That's why Russ [Hampshire] makes great product and his business is in half because all these losers put all this junk out. Here's a guy who's paid his dues and gives all his money to Free Speech to fight for the business and nobody even cares anymore if they buy the stuff. Because they'd rather save a buck and buy the cheap s--- and sell that. The loyalty and s--- is gone. It ain't like the good ol' days. When I started, everybody was loyal and everybody made money and the business was good. Now it is f---ing cut-throat, cheap. Nobody cares. They all talk to your face and they all stab you in the back. You see, there ain't no guineas left. Otherwise it'd be true."

Luke: "It's all Jews and Israelis now."

Kevin: "Yeah. And look what it is. I'm not saying all Jews are bad, but 90% of them are. They kiss each other and stab each other in the back. I see that all day long. And I'm not Jewish. I'm the only guy who ain't Jewish in this business. You know, the only good ones I even know are Russ [Hampshire, gentile], David [Sturman, Jew], Chris Mann [gentile], Teddy [Rothstein, a Jew]. Guys that when they give you their word, it's good. But there's not a lot of them left.

"If this business would stick together like Reuben had it sticking together, we'd be all making money. It's because the government said it was organized crime. It wasn't with Reuben. It's too bad. The government just wanted his ass so bad. The government killed him."

Luke: "Is there any chance of returning to that organized structure?"

Kevin: "No dude. You can't. Nobody can shake a hand and say ok. There's a handful of good ones, and the rest, f--- it. I've tried to f---ing hook everybody up and when they say it's not going to work, you know that none of them want it to work. It's just like Free Speech. It's just like I told them guys in the meeting. If I was running Free Speech, everybody in this business would give $500 a month. And there would be a list given out every month who belongs. And who don't belong, nobody should buy from them. Because if you can't afford to give Free Speech $500 a month to help fight the company to keep us in business, then why should you be in this business? What's $500 a month? They do that showing off gambling in Vegas. It just shows you that you can't organize these guys because they're all out for themselves."

Luke: "Are you part of the Free Speech Coalition?"

Kevin: "Yeah. I'm not saying that it is a major thing in this business but it never can be because you can never get everybody to stick with them. You can't start an organization if everybody don't belong to it. I had a meeting with Al Bloom and I told him that they're doing it all wrong. If you want to do it, you make everybody pay and join. And who don't join, then everybody sees who don't join and you don't buy from them. Then you've got enough money to fight the government and we don't have to worry about all this bulls---."

Luke: "Do you follow the Cambria List?"

Kevin: "No, dude, I don't even know what it is."

Luke: "Are you concerned about obscenity prosecution?"

Kevin: "Nah. Our government has their hands full. They took us for obscenity with Butchie, Tony and Joey [Peraino]. That was the last case in Las Vegas [around 1996]. The feds thought they had a big case and that they were going to take us down. When they had me on the witness stand. The prosecutor was going on. You were partners with the Perainos. Did you know that they were with the mob? Dadadadada. Playing up the organized crime... I couldn't lie about nothing. I was on paper with them. So they get done, and Tony's [Peraino] lawyer comes up and says, 'Beech, let me ask you. You're in business now for yourself, right? Yep. Now do you sell the same movies that we're here for seven counts on. I said, 'Every day.' He goes, 'Are you shipping those movies today?' I say, 'All day long.' That was it. We won all seven cases - not guilty.

"And the two federal agents from Washington D.C. that were sent here from that taskforce. They came to me and they were both good guys. And the one FBI agent from Las Vegas [Homer Young's son Roger?] was wearing his badge as a Mormon. And he told me, 'We're going to convict you in Las Vegas.' I say, 'You can't convict in LA. How are you going to convict in Las Vegas?' He goes, 'You think that the Las Vegas Strip is Sin City. That's only the strip. Outside Las Vegas, it's all Mormons and we're going to get Mormons on the jury.'

"These two guys from the taskforce in D.C. who wanted Tony [Peraino] bad, and were sent here just to get these guys... The guy from Vegas thought they had him hung. And after the case, the two agents came over to me and said, 'Kevin, why do you think we lost?' And I said, 'Look at him. The guy's wearing his badge as religion.' They had the sheriff's kid on the jury.

"It was seven storyline movies, like Candy Stripers. And the kid said, 'You see this s--- every day in the newspapers and on television. This ain't obscene to us.' And the FBI were pissed off."

Luke: "I'm pretty sure that the Las Vegas FBI agent was Roger Young, who's father was Homer Young. They've both been on the obscenity beat for years."

Kevin: "Well, he didn't do good there. Those guys from Washington were pissed. They spent all that time away from their family and this guy promised they had a case. And they went home empty handed."
