The High Priest: They wanted someone who had an in with the entertainment community. Lets not forget that the original founders of this organization (Bohemian Club) were artists and entertainers. Had they been pushed aside for politics and the elite? Yes, but they liked to pretend they still cared. In the 60's, they decided they needed someone to be in charge of all the ceremonies. Someone who actually had experience with religion. They turned to one of the board members (Roy Disney). This particular board member was not as famous as his younger sibling (Walt Disney), but controlled all the money in the company ("The Walt Disney Company") he and his sibling ran. All of you know this company. I would venture to say that every man woman and child on Earth has heard of this company. For years, this company had lots of cash flow issues. It wasn't until the late 60's and early 70's after this deal was made that the company never really worried about cash again. To supplement their cash position, the company was always making porn for the mafia and using their worldwide distribution network to move it. An interesting side note is that all of the legwork the company did in the very very early 1940's in South and Central America with various governments is that the mob partners of the company used those connections and networks to develop drug smuggling routes. Anyway, our organization reached out to the sibling and wondered if he knew anyone. Of course if he did, the person would be hired and given a very nice home right in the Opus 1 area (Napa Valley/"Silverado Vineyards Winery") which is was about as exclusive as it could get. Of course the sibling knew someone. He foisted upon the group his son-in-law (Ron W. Miller) who stayed the high priest until his death. This deal also gave rise to the television agreements that finally got this company in the black.

Disney's Secret Porn URL?
Who owns the domain name "mybigstiffy.com?" Would you believe Disney? A faxed statement from Disney's Touchstone Pictures said Buena Vista Pictures Marketing Disney's film distribution arm says that Walt Disney registered the name "at the request of one of our filmmakers" that worked on the PG-13 rated movie Mafia. "It referred to a joke in the end credits" of the movie, said the spokesperson, who asked not to be identified. But don't look for Walt's Stiffy Site anytime soon. "After careful review, the name was deemed inappropriate and the link to the 'Mafia' Web site has been discontinued."
