On pages 14 and 15 Caesar illustrates how the whole general scene around Jimi was becoming stormy like a maelstrom. Even the weather at the Isle of Fehmarn was acting in accordance. Billy, being in a paranoid state from being dosed, was picking-up this overhanging vibe more than the others and translating it into a direct sense of doom. Never once, however, does Caesar ever bother to consider that this sense of dread and apathy in both Billy and Jimi was at least partly attributable to Jimi's dilemma with Jeffery, if not directly. On page 15 Jimi is quoted as saying it was no fun anymore and he no longer wanted to play. Now those who know Jimi Hendrix would realize it would take a lot for Jimi to say such a thing, since playing guitar was all Jimi lived for. Never once does Caesar ever bother to consider that Jeffery's pressure on Jimi might have been the force behind this extreme comment.
On page 16 Jimi once again repeats to Karen Davis his intention to quit playing guitar. Again, anyone who knows Hendrix knows this wouldn't have lasted too long, so what was driving Jimi towards these radical moves? Could it have been the death of Alan Wilson combined with news of the death of one of Steingarten's clients in Vanilla Fudge, along with Billy's being personally sabotaged? This never seems to dawn on Caesar who doesn't even give it any consideration - even though it perfectly explains Jimi's actions.
On page 17 Caesar quotes Kirsten Nefer as saying Billy flew home on the 9th of September. There's question over the accuracy of this because David Henderson writes that Jimi was falsely telling people he sent Billy home in order to prevent him from being committed. Caesar should know that, but he deliberately doesn't share this detail with his readers because he's trying to cover-up information that works against Monika. Caesar is simply a dishonest person who has such contempt for his readers that he charges US$45 for the privilege of being lied to. What Caesar doesn't share with his readers is the fact Kirsten was given the cover-story about sending Billy home and repeated it without realizing it was a ruse. The reason Caesar does this is because Billy was being tended by Jeffery office members who were in contact with both Jimi and Monika. This destroys Monika's story so Caesar aids and abets her perjury by promoting this false claim.
Also on page 17 is evidence that once Jimi was pulled-out from under the dark cloud of Jeffery's persecution he snapped right back to happy, frolicking and jumping in the street. Kirsten and Karen had taken him to an Italian movie where his attention was diverted from Jeffery's terror. So Caesar's attempt to portray Jimi in the grips of fatal depression is undone right there. Clearly Jimi snapped-back when he was removed from thoughts of Jeffery.
Next, Alan Douglas tells of a meeting with Jimi on the night of Monday the 14th at Danny Secunda's house. This is important because Douglas relates in no uncertain terms that Jimi instructed him to prepare for the firing of Michael Jeffery. There's question over which night this occurred. Tony Brown has it happening on Monday night, but David Henderson has it happening on Wednesday night, with Douglas being taken to Heathrow by Jimi in a cab on Thursday morning. Secunda, the host, was quoted as saying it happened on Wednesday night. This is important because other sources tell me Alan Douglas was at the Kameron party on Thursday night and was using this story as an alibi to remove himself from his being there and what it entailed. The reason this pattern of alibis is important to note is because the timing of Jimi firing Jeffery, and Jeffery reacting by murdering Jimi, is important to get right. The closer Alan Douglas' mission to fire Jeffery occurs to Jimi's death the more likely it was directly related. Again, Caesar acts like a blind man in reaction to this and pretends it doesn't exist. It's in Caesar's interest to push these Monika-defending versions, however they do very little for either Jimi or the truth.
Caesar claims Jimi "moved-in" with Monika at the Samarkand Hotel on the 15th. The degree to which Jimi actually did that is debatable depending on how much you want to honor different people's versions and their agendas. There's no doubt Jimi kept his official address at the Cumberland Hotel along with his belongings. Jimi was known to have shown up at Ronnie Scott's that evening to try to stand-in with Eric Burdon and War, however he was said to have been too incapacitated by some undetermined cause to play and was rejected. Both Monika and Caesar avoid this information in their accounts of that incident.
Page 19: Caesar fails to account how Monika arranged the Samarkand Hotel. Monika was from Germany and unfamiliar with London. Seeing how the Samarkand was only 2 blocks from Jeffery employee and Hendrix stage manager Gerry Stickells' flat, it would make sense that she went to Jeffery's office to arrange some accommodations and that Stickells could have possibly recommended the nearby Samarkand Hotel. Stickells tried to distance himself from knowledge of the Samarkand at the Inquest. However we'll show later why that isn't very believable. Sources say Monika paid for the Samarkand herself. If we look at Jimi's habits he never would have allowed any woman he seriously considered to be his fiancee to pay for her own hotel. Monika wrote in her book The Inner World Of Jimi Hendrix that she found the Samarkand in a newspaper advertisement section. Caesar's oversimplifying of the Samarkand and its history allows him to avoid addressing its real history and who knew what about it. There's so many lies and conflicts in this work that there's almost too many to mention, however Monika's claim that Jimi called Mitch Mitchell from the Cumberland to give him her phone number at the Samarkand is refuted by Mitch himself who commented the only number he had was the one for the Cumberland. Caesar, of course, never mentions this quote.
Caesar commits yet another gross historical inaccuracy by quoting Chas as saying Jimi called him on Wednesday night to discuss Chas' producing Jimi's records again. Caesar should know that Chas' original claim was that Jimi showed-up at his door unannounced and spent the evening at Chas' flat discussing this move. This is more likely to be true because Jimi couldn't get Chas' phone number so he went right to the flat he used to share with Chas because he knew its location. Seeing how desperate Jimi was to make these moves against Jeffery this version makes more sense - not to mention it was Chas' own original account. Not only that but Chas was on record as saying this meeting was something that actually happened back in March. Chas was obviously making an excuse to deny the meeting because he was obviously aware it had something to do with Jimi's death. It's not very believable that someone would confuse such an important meeting only two days before Jimi died. Caesar gets around all this by simply impugning Chandler as a known story teller and "embellisher". Caesar isn't honest.
While Caesar focuses on misleading his readers with trivialities, he misses something very important. He displays a photograph, taken at the Samarkand, of Alvenia Bridges posing in front of Monika's blue Opal sports car. Well this is interesting, because nowhere in the official timeline is there any known place for Alvenia to have associated with Monika that way. Caesar has the absolutely blind credulous stupidity to not realize he has presented seriously incriminating evidence in photographic form that works directly against his case. From Alvenia's expression she appears to be very flustered and happy. Is this an expression caused by her reaction to Jimi Hendrix taking her photo? If so, there's no accounting for this meeting in any of Monika's official claims, and this photograph serves as direct proof of her lies. Yet Caesar has the incredible fatuousness to not even realize it. And this is from a person who has the abject nerve to present himself as having the last word and final investigation on the matter.
