I've been hesitant to jump into the middle of this, but here goes:
I met Kevin West (by email and phone, as I "meet" a lot of people in this world) when he was doing the America Needs to Know website. I immediately saw him as a person of incredible integrity and honesty, someone who truly cares about doing the right thing. Over the next couple of years, I spoke with him off and on, and in fact he was the one who convinced me to meet with John Martin and hear the CMKX story firsthand. (And I don't even hold that against him, lol.)
I later got to know him better on my trips to Texas to do research and interviews for the book. I can't vouch for his business acumen as well as John Martin or Bill Frizzell can, but I can say that you will never meet a better person than Kevin West. I happened to be in Texas when he was leaving for Las Vegas to begin meetings with the CMKX people, and I only had one bit of advice for him: "go in with your eyes open, and research the company thoroughly before you make your decision." I probably ended with something like "good luck...you'll need it."
In a company that has had some seriously questionable characters involved along the way, my take is that having someone in charge who has felt the shareholders' pain, waited impatiently for CMKX news that never seemed to come, has a ton of experience and knowledge about every detail of the CMKX saga, and above all....is trustworthy and honest, is the best thing this company could do at this time. I can't say without hesitation that I trust the company....but I trust Kevin West. And that's a huge step in the right direction.
I received this email today, forwarded to me from Kevin. I planned on reading it on Friday on CFRN, but this seems like a good time to repost it. I think it speaks volumes about Kevin West:
"The best way you can be of help to me right now is with prayers. When ANYONE asks if they can be of help or you have the opportunity to mention it to people, prayers is what we need the most. I cannot go out and talk on the radio show like Mark wanted, but I do have a request for him to make on my behalf and that is the following:
For everyone to unite, rely only on news in an official press release from the Company and for everyone to continue to PRAY."
(By the way, I'm waiting to hear back from Patrick Byrne to confirm a time to interview him on CFRN, probably early next week. I guarantee everyone it will be an event to remember.)
Thanks,
