The Getty's Blog: Burning Up the Internet

Blogging brothers, Billy and Peter Getty
Photos and compilation by Catherine Bigelow

 

Burning up the ethernet this ayem? Ricocheting emails ‘round town regarding the debut of the latest members in the City Brights blogging stable on SFGate: Peter Getty and his brother, Billy Getty.

Their blog is titled, What the Butler Didn’t See. And within the hallways of many a hallowed home in certain EssEff zip codes, Amen to that. Be sure to read the boys’ bios -- as riveting as their intro entry.

Obviously, as Chron-meisters carefully calculated, other blogs are, natch, furiously weighing in on their new, bold-faced bloggers.

Gawker was first at bat.

Followed by Brock Keeling over at SFist, who, in spite of his disdain, manages a cheery two-thumbs-up shout-out to his favorite Getty: Vanessa Getty.

Eve Batey of SFAppeal tackles the thornier issue of why, oh why, The Chronicle allows the Brothers Getty to be insulated against public comment. Unlike, oh, just about everyone else who writes for or is written about on the Gate.

And we must assume PG&E is not (currently) causing publisher Bruce Brugmann any agita, as even the wonkish SF Bay Guardian takes a peek behind this velvet curtain.

Yup, there is much savory in this particular stew.

However the mere fact the blogging Getty boys underscore the fact that (tragically) they are not (yet) rich enough to afford space travel, just goes to prove a subset theorem of that old US Magazine chestnut -- Rich People: Just Like Us!

GETTY/HITLER LAWSUIT GOES FORWARD IN WASHINGTON. J. PAUL GETTY; FBI FILE 100.1202, JUNE 26, 1940; ESPIONAGE. MacDonald Bank is filing a $22 billion lawsuit in Washington, D.C. against the Getty Oil Company benefactors; based on J. Paul Getty's support for Hitler in WWII. 43,000 people were killed in UK by the Nazis while J. Paul Getty was in Berlin shipping oil to Hitler. Getty was assiduously adding to his artifacts with the Nazis in 1938. [Rembrandt’s Marten Looten is among the acquired artifacts. LACMA] Jean Paul Getty’s mother; Catherine Risher was German. Dec. 20, 1940 … the New York Daily News wrote about Getty’s involvement with espionage at the Pierre Hotel in New York. 2003 documents declassified by UK Warfare Ministry reveal that Oct. 1941 the pro-Nazi Jean Paul Getty employed and lodged Nazis at his Pierre Hotel in New York City; Nazis who were involved in spying on and sabotaging Allied Forces’ war production plants. FBI reported that Getty was still shipping oil to Hitler; June, 1941 … nine months after London was being bombed … five months before Pearl Harbor; Dec. 7, 1941. Death - does not rule out - one going forward with civil forfeiture proceedings. Explained further; "Getty benefactors - at the end of the day - cannot sit on the spoils of Jean Paul Getty’s crimes." Pertaining to laws, the government or a private party can take action against property without going after the initial owner. United States legislation … provides that the death of a defendant charged with a criminal offence shall not be the basis for abating or otherwise invalidating either a verdict returned or the underlying indictment. The Law of Treason in United States; “Article Three,” defines treason as levying war against the United States or "in adhering to their Enemies," knowingly adhered to an enemy of the United States, namely, Nazi Germany and give Nazi Germany aid and comfort ... with intent to betray the United States. INDICTMENT MACDONALD BANK [FOR WORLD WAR II VETERANS AND VICTIMS] - v. - J. PAUL GETTY TRUST, J. PAUL GETTY MUSEUM, GORDON GETTY, ANN GETTY, PETER & BILL GETTY, RONALD GETTY, SIR J. PAUL GETTY JR. ESTATE, MARK GETTY, GETTY IMAGES INC, ANNE GETTY EARHART, CLAIRE GETTY PERRY, CAROLINE GETTY, PAUL PELOSI, UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI, ISOLEP ENTERPRISES, SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR GAVIN NEWSOM, BILL A. NEWSOM, FORWARD FUNDS/REFLOW AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART. DEFENDANTS All assets based on judgment would go to Allied Forces Veterans’ foundations.

I earned the Getty Oil Company shareholders Four Billion Bucks … On the Reserve acquisition; the way they treat me … it really sucks! As the Getty inheritors bask in glee; All I asked for was that they look after me. Four billion dollars they earned on Reserve … My fee I surely deserve. It turns out J.P. Getty may have been a Nazi; His family even goes back to Germany …. With Hitler, GÖring & Goebbels he did stand; While trying to undermine the American land! For paintings & artifacts he did receive; With his oil he was able to deceive? Hoover & the FBI & Roosevelt they knew … That J.P. Getty & espionage he drew! Many a young lad and Jew did die As planes dropped bombs from the sky. For years while Getty sat in Berlin He may have committed many a sin. The ashes and smoke from the chimneys it rose While old man Getty sat cozy … he chose. With artwork held tightly under his arm Still dripping in blood … as the real owner met harm. Into the ovens & on meat-hooks, bullets between the eyes … Listen very carefully you can still hear their cries! While the Gettys sit in England; at their estate at Wormsley; And Gordon sings in San Francisco … With his 727 in tow; The Getty museum sits atop Malibu; While the corpses of World War 2 scream … “J.P. Getty … We know you!”
