Finally on page 45 Caesar confronts Tappy Wright's recent admission that he heard Michael Jeffery confess to murdering Jimi. He does this under the column heading "Murdered By Manager BS". Caesar confronts this issue by making one of his classic pre-emptive proclamations that Wright is "incorrect". (Oh, no need to look any further I guess)
I'll start-off by saying the claim that pills were shoved down Jimi's throat followed by wine is provably wrong according to the forensics. Since we know Jimi's barbiturate blood level was .7mg percent of blood that means he probably had about an hour to reach that level before he died. Therefore no pills could have been shoved down Jimi's throat followed by wine because the pills would have come right back up after Jimi was drowned and vomited. But just because this claim doesn't match the forensics doesn't mean it didn't happen. The forensic evidence very much shows Jimi was drowned in wine as Dr Bannister witnessed. Whether Jeffery was covering for an accomplice (Monika?) is unknown. There's too many variables to list here, but the fact Jimi was drowned in wine suggests those who did so were anticipating him being incapacitated. You then have to wonder how the most powerful pills on the market got within Jimi's reach, or how this conforms to a classic black operation made to appear as a drug overdose.
As for Jeffery being in Spain we only have the word of Bob Levine whose participation in Jeffery's money laundering can only be guessed. Mr Levine was one of the loudest critics of Jeffery's behavior for decades and spoke to authors about Jeffery acting suspiciously and pretending he hadn't known about Jimi's death a week later (even though Caesar's own source, Jim Marron, confirmed he heard Jeffery speak of Jimi's death on the 18th). While picking quotes to suit his dishonest spin Caesar thinks we don't see him avoiding all the other qualifying information. Caesar got Levine to retract everything he said before and claim the murder theories are nonsense. A total retraction is very suspicious, and even more so when Caesar asks for no explanation why Levine completely reversed everything he's said for decades and made a blanket denial. What is Bob Levine trying to hide in order not to get dragged in to anything? Bob Levine said he spoke to Jeffery on the 17th in Majorca. Jeffery told Levine he would not be available the next day due to a boating outing. I think both Bob and Caesar missed an important clue here. Mike Jeffery was curiously not available during Jimi's worst crises. When Jimi was busted for heroin at Toronto Airport Customs Mike was nowhere to be found and couldn't be reached. When Jimi was kidnapped Jeffery was also strangely unavailable. In his haste to deny the murder I don't think Levine realizes he witnessed an important clue. Jeffery's telling him he wouldn't be available on the 18th was a typical MI-6 agent's routine of making himself unavailable once again during Jimi's worst crisis, as he had done before. All said, if you look at those who gave alibi's for Jeffery there's not a single one of them who says exactly where he was and what he was doing that established the alibi. However, even if Jeffery was in Majorca when Jimi was murdered that still doesn't mean he wasn't involved. Jeffery was a man quite capable, as the kidnapping showed, of getting other people to do his dirty work. Caesar deals with this business on an overly simple level that automatically disqualifies him from any serious investigation. When Caesar writes "nobody in Jimi's management knew about the Samarkand" he's relying on people's word. Many of those people are provably lying, yet Caesar takes them at their word and doesn't look any further. When Terry Slater slipped and admitted he was at the Samarkand on the evening of the 17th Caesar blames the reporter. When Monika admits unnamed people were at the flat Caesar has no curiosity about who they were or why Monika would not name them. If Caesar seriously wants to find-out how the murderers knew about the Samarkand he should look in to the lies and false stories he's trying to protect.
How did the murderers gain access to the flat? Many ways. If you are sharp you'll see Monika wrote in 'Inner World' that someone broke-in to her flat to steal her manuscript using a key. Well, if these people had a key after the murder then maybe they had one before? Right? This is another example of one of Monika's indirect admissions. There's too many variables to mention here, however the possibility Monika was somehow involved is very real. It would explain a lot of the unexplained conflicts. Once again, Caesar interprets the evidence backwards. Instead of admitting the lack of any signs of a break-in incriminates Monika he uses this to 'dismiss' the whole thing.
Jimi was obviously passed-out when he was drowned in wine. The forensics that the British Inquest never bothered to recognize or process prove this. So if we consider that persons were laying in wait to kill Jimi this way, it is reasonable to suspect they knew he would be incapacitated. Since Monika admitted "I gave Jimi the pills" that forces any objective investigator to wonder what her possible role was? Is this something someone would either be 'suicided' or commit suicide over?
Caesar then proceeds to ask a series of spurious questions that back his spin. They've already been answered in this rebuttal. Quickly: The Vesparax were provided by Monika as told. Next, Dr Teare probably actually did discover some remnant wine in the 400ml of "free fluid" he found in Jimi's left lung. Otherwise Caesar is foolish to expect Dr Teare to find wine Dr Bannister had suctioned-out and disposed of 3 days earlier at the hospital. The evidence that bottles of wine were poured down Jimi's windpipe was discovered by the good Dr Bannister who was later attacked for it (which is another pure sign of intel involvement). Monika's location during the murder is a good question. If we look at some of her indirect statements we might be able to figure that out. When did the cigarette trip actually happen? Who did Monika actually see tipping Jimi's head back, as she told, if it wasn't the ambulance drivers? (Monika: "The mafia killed Hendrix 'for sure'")
Whether Jeffery cashed-in on an insurance policy or not, he was seen with loads of cash after Jimi's death and paid-off substantial debts in the hundreds of thousands. Since Caesar doesn't even mention this or bother to explain its significance towards the subject we can pretty much assume he is attempting nothing close to any credible investigation. And I suppose Caesar isn't going to ask Bob Levine what exactly he witnessed in Jeffery's office about smuggling money to those Bahamian banks or the mafia loans? Bob?
Page 46:
On page 46 Caesar makes his best run at pushing his fractured theory through by claiming Jimi's Vesparax blood level was high enough to kill him on its own. This is a valid way to hide murder behind a drug overdose, which was exactly why the planners did it that way. Caesar achieves this diversion by claiming Jimi took the tablets at 7:30 as Monika claimed. If you simply believe Monika, as Caesar does, you can get away with this version. He then proceeds to chart how Jimi had a serious overdose that needed treating within 2 hours to prevent fatality. Using this ruse Caesar then moves towards his final thrust by saying in bold and underlined lettering that Jimi had no hope for survival after 9:45am, so therefore everything else is "irrelevant". I think smart people could see what Caesar is aware of and deliberately trying to deny in his wording. The simple way to answer this is Eric Burdon's admission that Monika called him at 5:45am, combined with Dr Bannister's witnessing of lungs full of wine, makes this version impossible. It really is as simple as that, and you can see the mendacious length Caesar goes to to get around this. Nice try, again, Caesar.
I have to give Caesar credit because he has done his homework well by finding several examples of Vesparax overdoses where the victims took the same number of tablets as Jimi. It's very clever. The victims die right around the 4 hour mark making Caesar's case look solid for Jimi dying perfectly in synch with these documented cases. There's a problem with this however. The 4 hour mark Caesar isolates as condemning actually works against him if we involve the real times. Since we know Jimi got back to the Samarkand at around 3am we can then look at Burdon's claimed 5:45am phone call from Monika and realize 4 hours had not elapsed. If we look at the death scene, Jimi was found by the ambulance attendants unmoved and untreated. What this tells you is the first people to discover him made no attempt to revive him. If they had you would not have found Jimi on his back and covered in vomit obviously in the same position he died in. This is basic detective work that Scotland Yard is world-famous for, and quite capable of, however they never seemed interested. What this tells you is Jimi was dead when Monika first started reaching-out with phone calls. Any normal person who found Jimi in distress would have wiped the vomit off him and tried to establish some breathing. As the ambulance men made clear, this was never done to Jimi. A smart detective would realize right away that those who first encountered Jimi in this condition knew he was dead, otherwise they would have wiped the vomit off and tried to get him breathing. In respect to this it would make sense that Monika reached-out because Jimi was dead at 5:45am. And once you consider that Jimi was murdered by being drowned in wine this makes perfect sense and fits all the evidence, and, especially, the lies. So what Caesar needs to do is add a little more data to his Vesparax overdose histories. For instance he needs find a case where the victim had been threatened with death by their MI-6/mafia manager if they fired them. He needs to find a directly analogous case where the victim was on COINTELPRO's Security Index. He needs to find a case where the victim was found drowned in wine. And, finally, he needs to find a case where there were curious lies and uninvestigated false stories by all the main witnesses. In effect, what Caesar does the most here is use a plausible excuse to avoid the most outstanding evidence. In the end the main question is how many of those other cases had lungs full of wine with a negligible blood alcohol count? (The answer is none) I hope people will notice the disparity between Caesar's ability to dig-up esoteric information on Vesparax vs his playing dumb on everything else.
Caesar defeats his own point, made a few pages back, by concluding Jimi must have known the number of tablets he took. Caesar obviously realizes he can't get around this. His solution is that Monika's story to her brother Klaus Peter must have been true and that Jimi took 9 tablets in order to sleep for a day and a half. OK, if this is true then why not admit it after all these years? Monika went to lengths to stick to her original story. Caesar emphasizes this solution by including "Until We Meet Again" in decorative script at the bottom of the column, as if this had solved the mystery in a Sherlock Holmes-like denouement. Not so fast Caesar. First of all, Monika was quoted as telling the reporter for Bild "I gave Jimi the pills". Since Monika tried to deny this statement it shows she felt guilt over it. So there's good reason to think Jimi never popped the tablets out of their blister packs as Caesar claims. Another thing is Monika said she had previously taken some for her back injury. If true then she would have known their serious strength and never allowed Jimi to take what she would have well-known to be an overdose. It's very obvious that Monika invented the story of Jimi sneaking the pills after she fell asleep. She was obviously trying to hide something. Even worse, in 'Inner World' Monika says Jimi turned to her and said he thought Devon had OD'ed him. Well, if we look at Monika's official story she says Jimi was awake and talking and in a good mood when she fell asleep at 7am. Jimi last saw Devon at Kameron's party. Devon was nodded-out when Jimi tried to get her to go along to the Samarkand. If Devon had dosed Jimi at Kameron's it had to be at least a while before she nodded-out, therefore any overdose Jimi felt at the Samarkand would have been well-underway by the time he got back there. With this in mind it is therefore impossible for Jimi to have claimed he was overdosed by Devon and still be happily talking to Monika in bed at 7am as she claimed. More likely Jimi had been overdosed by the Vesparax and hadn't realized it. Caesar is aware of all this which is why he steers completely clear of Monika's self-condemning manifest of lies known as 'The Inner World Of Jimi Hendrix'. The book is so full of these easily-seen conflicts that Caesar has to stay clear of it. In a way 'Inner World' a prime example of Monika's unique psychological condition and use of thinly-veiled double entendre to make indirect admissions. What Caesar doesn't account for here are the people who came forward and said Jimi enthusiastically planned to meet them the next day, Friday, so therefore it is unlikely he took a massive dose to sleep all day. And, trust me, Caesar knows of these claims and isn't mentioning them.
In a specially highlighted box at the bottom of the page Caesar gives various quotes from witnesses telling of Jeffery's insurance policies. Trixie Sullivan, Chas Chandler, and even Monika all confirm Jeffery had a 1 million dollar policy on Jimi. So whether Caesar proves Jeffery never collected on it or not he should be studied enough in Hendrix history to know Jeffery had ways around that and people who were willing to make loans on the policy. It should be kept in mind that Caesar never attempted to account for the loads of cash Jeffery was seen with after Jimi's death - and I think we know why. Besides Jeffery had stolen enough money from Jimi to account for that cash. As usual, Caesar never offers a peep over whether that stolen money could have been incentive for Jeffery to murder a man who had just fired him and would have made him legally account for it.
