The Eastern Axis of Power or Oceania (1984, G. Orwell)Vs the World!
Larry I agree completely but I added else where in this group:
(1) tournament chess is not local chess, and local clubs in small community venues which are avoided by the industrialized Henry Ford
techniques of mass production which will SUCK CHESS DRY just like those techniques destroyed the fishing industry thru their success of over fishing (do a simple search of Google)
techniques of mass production which will SUCK CHESS DRY just like those techniques destroyed the fishing industry thru their success of over fishing (do a simple search of Google)
(2) the other conflict of interest from what I understand (Timothy ("Tiny Tim") Hanke USCF Vice-President for Finance appointed Stan Booz , CPA of Penn. to head both the finance committee, and audit oversight of that Finance committee)
(3) produced by deals made between the Pennslyvania State Chess Federation (bragging it controls thru key placed members the USCF),
Bill Goichberg(NY), Timothy Hanke(Ma), Beatriz(NY), DonSchultz(ex-NY), and Brady(NY);
Timothy Hanke has appointed Stan Booz CPA (maybe fed??) to both the finance committee to oversee the allocation of USCF funds and the audit committee show so Stan Booz can "in a fox in the henhouse" manner (OMG) have oversight over himself (gee a self-supervised position I guess Grant Perks would of liked that too bad ).

Dear Jerry,

My problem is that I happen to agree with Charles Wilson, if one rightly understands the point he was making, and I agree with you that what's good for the USCF is generally good for Bill Goichberg and vice-versa.
So where do we disagree?
Jerry: to my mind, hiring the largest organizer in America to be the executive director ranks with FIDE alienating its version of the world title to FIDE Commerce, a company owned by the organization's president. We are setting a precedent.
I have no doubt that Bill Goichberg will do a fine job as ED, but I know just as surely that the USCF is setting a precedent fraught with disaster over the longer term. How can Bill stay out of tournament bid situations or deliver disinterested views on rating and rules questions or make decisions involving enemy organizers in California or long-time business associates or, if you will, hirelings in New York?
Is Bill Goichberg honest? In my view, yes -- even painfully honest. Does Bill Goichberg have inherent conflicts of interests that disqualify him for the position of USCF executive director unless he divests his businesses? Yes.
Yours, Larry
