[B]Eisner Likely to Weather This Latest Storm[/B] [B]The Disney chairman's mastery of boardroom politics, as well as the lack of an heir apparent, makes him tough to replace, analysts say.[/B]
By Meg James, LA Times [[B]Jew owned[/B]] Staff Writer
Michael Eisner [[B]Jew[/B]] is a survivor.
Sunday's surprise resignation of Roy E. Disney from the Walt Disney Co. board of directors is the latest storm in Eisner's 19-year reign as the company's chairman and chief executive. He has faced plenty of hurricane-force winds before, and he has weathered all of them.
"My strength is coming up with two outs in the last of the ninth," Eisner once said. "I'm very competitive. I love coming back."
In many ways, Eisner has been scrapping — and successfully coming back — since he was a 7-year-old boy thrust into a boxing ring at summer camp to spar with a much bigger 9-year-old opponent. Despite the size difference, Eisner held on.
Then there was the time, nine years ago, when he was wheeled into an operating room for heart bypass surgery — a scant few months after his trusted lieutenant died in a helicopter crash.
Experts said Sunday that it was too soon to predict whether Eisner's grip on the company he molded into a media empire would be loosened by Roy Disney's call for his resignation. Some in Hollywood and on Wall Street say they don't expect that the 61-year-old chairman will take his final bows anytime soon.
"He has obeyed the iron rule of survival," said Martin Kaplan [[B]Jew[/B]], an associate dean of USC's Annenberg School for Communication and a former production executive at Disney Studios. "A careful politician knows how to count, and Eisner seems to have the supporters he needs on the board."
Throughout his tenure at the helm of the world's best-known family entertainment company, Eisner has mastered the art of boardroom politics, inoculating himself from serious threats from within. With a grasp of details big and small, he has been able to ride his many successes without taking a fall for the mounting liabilities.
During the last nine years, Eisner has been at the center of controversies and miscues that might have ushered many a chief executive toward the exit.
First there was the Michael Ovitz [[B]Jew[/B]] fiasco. The famous Hollywood power broker served one turbulent year as Disney's president. When he left the company in 1996, Ovitz took a payout that, including stock options, [B]exceeded $100 million[/B], an amount Eisner struggled to justify to unhappy board members.
Then came the Jeffrey Katzenberg [[B]Jew[/B]] debacle, which grabbed headlines around the globe. Instead of agreeing to a settlement early on, Eisner chose to duke it out in court with the former studio head. On the stand Eisner was forced to concede that he once said of Katzenberg: "I hate the little midget." Disney soon settled with Katzenberg for [B]$270 million[/B], to the chagrin of investors who said the matter should have been resolved quietly years before.
More recently, Eisner, a former TV executive, has watched his ABC network lose hundreds of millions of dollars. Since buying the network in 1996, Disney has not been able to return it to its former glory. Three years ago, ABC burned out its mega-hit "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" by running it as many as four nights a week — without using the profits to seed a crop of new shows. And then there's the exodus of dozens of senior executives, many of whom have prospered in new jobs. Among them: • Katzenberg [[B]Jew[/B]] left in 1994 and became a partner in rival studio DreamWorks SKG. • Disney Studios Chairman Joe Roth [[B]Jew[/B]] resigned three years ago and founded Revolution Studios. • The head of the Disney theme parks, Paul Pressler, resigned last year to become chief executive of Gap Inc. • One of the architects of Disney cable channel ESPN's success, Steve Bornstein [[B]Jew[/B]], left last year and is now in charge of the NFL Networks. In his blistering letter, Roy Disney blamed Eisner for "the creative brain drain of the last several years, which is real and continuing, and damages our company with the loss of every talented employee."
Roy Disney has been one of Eisner's most vocal critics on a board that has long been faulted by institutional investors for being too soft and too close to Eisner. At various times, the board has included Eisner's personal lawyer, his architect and the principal of the elementary school once attended by one of his children.
Business Week dubbed Walt Disney Co.'s board the worst in America in 1999 and 2000.
But Eisner hung on, in part, because there is no heir apparent, experts say. Roy Disney faulted Eisner for failing to groom a successor.
"He's very tough to replace," said David W. Miller, a Los Angeles-based media analyst with investment banking firm Sanders Morris [[B]Jew[/B]] Harris. "It's very difficult to find a guy in this town who understands the creative issues and who also understands a balance sheet and who can make complex financial decisions. There are few people on this planet who can do that on a high level, and Michael Eisner is one of them."
Eisner's efforts have paid huge dividends. Forbes magazine listed HIS wealth at more than [B]$630 million[/B], with most of that coming during his Disney stewardship. Scores of investors have benefited too.
"He's made a lot of people extremely rich over the years, and they appreciate that fact," Kaplan [[B]Jew[/B]] said. "His depth of support comes not only from a personal level but also from a financial one."

Why is it that jews always have the 'macho' story, the tough guy story, like this to kick things off? Yeah, I know why, and I'm fairly sure the author of this story is a jew also. We have to be reminded of their innate courage, and how this translates over to business, eh? I'm ready to toss.
Isn't Roy Disney the nephew of Walt? Guess I could look it up.

Roy,
The answer to your question is yes, he is. From what I understand about this Roy Disney is the one who brought Eisner on board in the first place. Roy gets what he deserves from getting in the bed with this pig. He certainly didn't care when Eisner was doing everything to trash the West.

I guess Mr. Disney isn't too pleased by the Jew's pro-homosexual pedophile and anti-family direction.

You guessed wrong. This is a business dispute. There is no reason to believe this Disney cares about any of that. He has worked with these people the entire time they were jewing Walt's legacy, so I doubt he objected.

Disney's resignation letter mentions "serious differences of opinion about the direction" of the company. "the Company has lost its focus, its creative energy, and its heritage." "Inability to program successfully the ABC Family Channel." "The perception by all of our stakeholders - consumers, investors, employees, distributors and suppliers - that the Company is rapacious, soul-less, and always looking for the 'quick buck' rather than the long-term value which is leading to a loss of public trust."
Yes, it is a business dispute but there's a hint of something more. It looks like he's saying that the company is more concerned with money than values.
Maybe I'm guilty of wishful thinking.
BTW, Walt was about to be booted for his age, so it's not like he gave up anything by resigning.

I personally think Eisner's story is a pile of crap.
Of course Jews tend to be physically unimposing, and even those with muscles are often awkward and uncoordinated. They seem to be quite conscious of this. When they swagger or tell BS "fish stories" like Eisner's above, it's probably an attempt to compensate for their own sense of physical inferiority.
For a nauseating (but often humorous) insight into the world of pseudo-tough-guy Jews, I recommend that those who haven't already done so pay a visit to the Jewish Defense League's web site:

Anyone who sends them insulting email (as I have) should make sure it's done anonymously. Those JDL worms might not be tough, but it takes no special talent on their part to track down a person and vandalize his property, etc.

Yes, you are guily of wishful thinking. Expecting traitors and collaborators to come over to our side when there is no benefit to them for doing so is insane.

[QUOTE]Why is it that jews always have the 'macho' story, the tough guy story, like this to kick things off? [/QUOTE]
Because the secret - the key - the fulcrum that animates Jewish power and 'success' is [I]utter shamelessness[/I]. And if you had to identify and isolate the one toxin that Jewish influence has blood-poisoned the West with, it [I]is [/I] shamelessness. It is also what seperates we 'bitter, resentful, loser-goyim' from our hooknosed betters and their shabgoy tools - a sense of propriety and lines we [I]won't [/I] cross in pursuit of money, sex, power, acclaim, etc.
And oh how they work that divide! It's how they convinced hundreds of millions of us that [I]all this time[/I], we'd been petty, bourgeois haters and misanthropes who needed to reject everything we thought we knew about our traditions and values and way of life to achieve a state of grace. And before we can hope to be free of these people we first have to understand that [I]chutzpah[/I] isn't brazen effrontery - aka [I]'balls' [/I] - but its opposite: unimaginable and cowardly unscrupulousness, unfettered by any twinges of conscience whatsoever. "Chutzpah" is the lone collaborator in a POW camp shifting the blame to a dead comrade - then running for office back home as a war hero after the hostilities are over.
[QUOTE]It's very difficult to find a guy in this town who understands the creative issues and who also understands a balance sheet and who can make complex financial decisions. There are few people on this planet who can do that on a high level...[/QUOTE]
Perfect example of my point. Taken at face value, the above statement [I]may [/I] (or may not) be true - certainly in this case, it's self-flattering Jew boilerplate and smokescreen combined. If you or I demonstrated the kind of creative and financial wizardry necessary to stock our board with unqualified cronies, pay out $400 million in severance packages to 'executives' who [I]expressly [/I] signed on to piggyback onto bigger and better things, devalue our assets by nearly a billion dollars and leave behind us a legacy of creative vampirism (game shows based on old 50s models, cartoons exclusively adapted from public-domain properties, and OPERATION DUMBO DROP) while betraying the company's founding traditions (Disney is no longer a boutique studio exclusively producing family fare but a conglomerate responsible for the coarsening thug-element in athletics [via ESPN], lewd sitcoms and 'parental-discretion-advised' tv dramas [via ABC], 'edgy' films that 'push the envelope' - of perversion - via Miramax, etc, etc) we'd be [I]out [/I] or [I]on our way out[/I]. But probably our innate sense of propriety and responsibility would've precluded our signing off on many of these 'innovations' in the first place.
But then, the very concept of [I]dishonor [/I] is a goyishe one to begin with. The closest a Jew will ever come to that concept is reading about how they've always preferred death to it - in suck-up takeouts in the LA Times written by sycophants-in-waiting who hope such stories will eventually pay off in a job offer.

Yeah, IR, we know that stuff to be true - just as I'm sure you knew my rhetorical question was tongue in cheek ...
You are also spot on with your comment on " ...self-flattering Jew boilerplate and smokescreen combined." Read "High Concept: Don Simpson and the Hollywood Culture of Excess" by Charles Fleming if you get a chance. Suprisingly hard hitting on some of the bigger names in Hollywood - including Eisner, who's actually presented as being totally incapable of understanding creativity at all - at least outside of Hollywood "accounting practices". The book also shows how jews will let a non-jew spit in their faces, if they're making money with him, or from his efforts. Don Simpson was not a jew - He was the goy partner - the "creative" half - of Simpson - Brukheimer films. The decadence explored in the book is just what you'd expect in an industry run by the chesire cat always scheming locusts.

In late 1993 and 1994, I worked as a driver for a software company. Their customers were mainly from China. One day, I picked up a customer from airport and accompanied him to the hotel. We talked about US and I told him my bitter experience. And how they delivered the word that they killed President Kennedy. He was a little nervous and said, "Please don't talk about that issue."
Next day, when I met him again, he asked me "Did you read the newspaper? The executive of Disneyland died of a helicopter accident". I was surprised that he paid attention to the forbidden issue and thought it might be another intimidation from Federal law enforcement agent. China opened to the world just for a short time then. Customers from China were interested in travelling and shopping for merchandise which was in shortage in their country. I never saw them reading newspaper. And the dead executive of Disneyland was competing fiercely with another one for the post of Chief executive then.
About that time, I had read an article from newspaper talked about Walt Disney. What impressed me was that he was an informant of FBI. He hated Union. He was evaluated as a good informant because he entertained FBI agents and their family free to Disneyland. Through him FBI could handle a large number of his employees. It was an important post. So when the helicopter accident happened, I felt that might be a work of FBI. They sent a candidate of their own to that VIP post through a violent plot.
Through my own experience, I feel US has became a 'spy country'. I started to view things from another angle. When Leuwinsky scandal happened and Linda Trip said in her speech,"I am you, American." I couldn't help to laugh. She thought many people were the same as her. She may be right. In this country, informant are vastly used by Federal law enforcement agency.
