FOR LACY AND TRUTH

Back in the late 70’s Ken Sprague owned Gold’s Gym on 2nd street
in Santa Monica. This is the gym shown in Pumping Iron. In the closing
credits of Pumping Iron look for a “special thank you” to Ken Sprague”
for his help in making the film. In those days Sprague and Arnold were
pals, Ken had not yet used contest footage or Arnold and Franco in his
porn film. Arnold’s mentor, Joe Gold, had sold Gold’s to Sprague.
Sprague used the name, Dakota, for his hustling and gay porn work.
At his best he was one of the most handsome men in Hollywood. Well over
6’, blonde, blue eyed, a body builders body, he had it all. Ken was
married to a lesbian named Marion, who did all the business work in
running Gold’s. Marion later died of tongue and throat cancer. Sprague
made an all male porn film entitled “California Supermen” in four parts.
In first of the segments Ken is dressed as Jesus and bangs another body
builder dressed as a priest held down on a cross by monks. In the second
segment “The Winner” Arnold’s buddy Roger Callard plays a body builder
being fondled in a fantasy of a guy in the audience at a body building
contest. It is this segment that split Sprague and Arnold. Sprague used
contest footage of Arnold and Franco as part of the porn film. Arnold
heard about it and went to the gay theater that was showing it in LA.
Arnold threaten to sue Sprague if he didn’t take he and Franco out of the
Movie. When it was released on video tape by body builder hustler David
Carter, Arnold and Franco had been cut. Sprague took legal action against
David Carter for piracy and few tapes were shipped. Sprague had released
it as film in mail order in 8 mm format but for some reason the Feds came
down on him like a ton of bricks for shipping across state lines.
Mr. Universe, Bob Birdsong, was drugged and appeared in the third
segment. Bob was only paid $75.00 and given out takes. Chet Yorton a
well known homophobe saw the film and ridiculed Bob in public on Venice
beach. Bob freaked out, move out of the gay doctors house were he had
lived with several other of Arnold pals, Roger Callard & Denny Gable, got
married and became a born again Christian minister.
Ken Sprague, Dakota, got himself on the national board of the AAU
body building due to his ownership of Gold’s and promoting many body
building contests, including the AAU Mr. America. Word got back to the
AAU board of Sprague’s alter ego Dakota. Sprague was confronted by the
board where upon he shed many tears, confessed, and blamed the whole thing
on “youthful indiscretion”. Why the board did not remove him then and
there, I will never understand. Ken left the meeting and filed defamation
suits against all the member individually. They all resigned rather than
pay for lawyers to defend them. The gays had total control of the sport.
The Weider’s handed over their body building organization AFABB
(American Federation of Amateur Body Building) to Sprague, who merged both
organization into the NPC (National Physique Committee). Sprague was
later forced to resign form the NPC due to the growing knowledge of his
alter ego, Dakota. Sprague put his pal Jim Manion in control of the NPC
and controlled the organization through Manion until he lost interest.
Manion still runs the NPC as his personal fiefdom in the Weider empire.
At first the AAU national organization washed its hand of body
building because of all this gay stuff. They later reestablished AAU
body building after the battle of Caesar’s Palace. Manion was holding a
NPC convention at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas when it became apparent
that Doc Nealey was going to make a power grab. Doc Nealey owned a gym in
Atlanta, and wanted to promote the Mr. America in Atlanta. Manion
panicked and call Sprague to come in and put down the rebellion. Sprague
came in, organized the troops, stripped Doc’s gang of their votes and
through them out of the meeting. I was standing at the door when they
filed out of the meeting. They all had the strangest stunned looks on
their faces. Doc gym was burned down in an insurance scam by one of his
sublease tenants, but he tried to make everyone believe Manion was behind
it. Manion was not. Doc was shot several times by the brother of a boy
he molested, but lived. The body building mags were barzen enough to deny
Doc was gay after the shooting. Doc started up a male strip troop that
toured the South until he was busted for making ecstasy.
The old time AAU people saw that Sprague was still in control,
and begged the AAU to reestablish Body Building.
Sprague lost interest in the NPC due to the vast amounts of money
he got form gay men. When his wife Marion died he sold Gold’s to the
current owners. Sprague had over a million dollars in cash in his
checking account when he sold Gold’s. When it became plan to Arnold’s
friends, that hustling was not going to be tolerated and they were not as
welcome as in the old days, Arnold went to Joe Gold and they open World
Gym. One to the owners of Gold’s actually chased Arnold out of Gold’s,
but that never made the magazines.

I came to my attention last evening that a reporter working for
Sports Illustrated interviewed a convicted drug dealer in a Canadian
prison. This dealer alleges that he sold steroids to Jane Fonda and that
she was using them to make her famous fitness videos and again during the
filming of On Golden Pond. The reporter told me this in the reason Jane
had to have two sets of breast implants. The first set was for
enhancement, but after going on the steroids she lost all of her natural
bread tissue and had to have a second set put in to bring them back to
size. Such are the hazards of steroids.

Is Arnold gay? Probably not. Does he have sex with gay men?
YES!!! I have been telling everybody (including the press) for years,
but Arnold has slept with so many powerful men over the years, that the
press want touch it. When I gave Spy Magazine the now famous nude of
Arnold, I gave them pictures of Arnold in Spain with Gay millionaire Paco
Arce. One was Arnold and Paco in front of Paco mansion, and the other was
Arnold in his underwear at Paco’s table. Spy described the pictures but
did not publish them. Paco claims he paid Arnold $1,000 in the 1969. A
real bargain, because Merv Griffin had to pay $25,000 and put Arnold on
his talk show to get him in the sack. Arnold bragged on TV that he has an
annual income from his real-estate investments of $25,000,000, and another
25 million from movies. The host did not ask him how he got enough
real-estate to have that kind of income, when he supposedly came here in
1968 with nothing. The answer is, that he bought it with all this tax
free income form prostitution. In the late sixties and early seventies he
was asking $3,000 a lay.
Most of his pals were also “hustling”, and some even made an all
male porno film, which I have a copy. One of them was Roger Callard, who
has appeared in most of Arnold’s movies. In “Red Heat” Roger Played the
bad guy, that was killed by the drag nurse in the hospital. Roger also
got a featured play credit in “Twins” as one of Arnold’s brothers even
though he did not have a speaking part in the movie. So much for the
union. The producer, Ken Sprague, who also starred as Christ having sex
with a priest held down a cross by monks. Ken is given a SPECIAL thank
you in the credits of “Pumping Iron”, check it out for yourselves.
Arnold claims he met Maria at a tennis tournament. What he did
not tell us, was that he was at the match with Maria’s brother, whom Arnie
was having affair in order to social climb. The brother thought that
Arnold would be a great match for his bi-sexual sister. Boy was he right.
The brother uses a gay pimp ( Gary Kahn ) in N. Y. City, to secure the
services of hustlers, which he rents by the day and not he hour, as a
non-Kennedy has to do. Anyone seen Babylon 5 recently. The press will not
touch this!!!
Arnold has always liked to have gay women co-star in movies. An
actress friend of mine was telling me about this actress hitting on her,
while they worked on another picture together. The actress claimed she was
Sarah Douglas’s lover. The actress said Sarah was off having an tryst
with Grace Jones while shooting the second Conan. Sarah later appeared on
Johnny Carson Show, and stated she turned down the part several times,
until she found that Grace was going to be in the movie. She only took
the part to meet Grace. Oscar winner Paul Jabara, later confirmed this
story.
A few years ago I wrote about Arnold’s pal Gigi. I seem that when Arnie
was shooting a movie in Mexico he was flying Gigi down for sex on the
weekends. The girls on the set could not understand, why he was bringing
this plain girl down, when they were all willing and able to help him
commit adulatory. Gigi did not get mad about me printing the story, but
she took exception to the use of the word plain. She really shouldn’t
sleep with the same guy that I do. Remember the gerbil story, and how we
all knew someone, who knew someone ,that knew a nurse, maid or a butler.
I bet the next “knew” story will be of the paramedic who helps Gigi
recover her lost dildo.
For the get a lifers and whyers: Truth and justice should be enough, but
I will post a very detailed
response in the future.
If you want faxes of the picture proof of my stories let me know.
More true rumors to follow, as Herr Schwarzenegger would say “I’ll be
back”.

Chapter 6 By Lacy H. Rich, Jr. 213 851-6585
In 1992 after the Spy article on Arnold came out, I received two
phone calls from famous people, Henry Hill and Cindy Garvey. Cindy is a
sweetheart and just wanted to tell me that she thought I had a lot of
courage to buck the system. I then read her book and found that we shared
a lot in common growing up. Thanks, Cindy. The second, Henry Hill, is
the mobster that the movie “Goodfellas” was based on.
Henry was in the federal witness program, and the call was placed
on a three way by a reporter that knew both of us. Henry wanted to hear
from my own lips that his idol, Arnold, had been a male prostitute.
Believe me, the guy that played him in the movie is not like him at all.
Henry has a voice that scary even on the phone. After I told him my
story, his voice quivered and he said “I have to have a cigarette, talk
to my girl friend”. I chatted with her until Henry regained his composure
and came back to the phone.
As a result of that call, I began to learn just how unfree the
press is in this country. The main stream press is run by conglomerates
that protect anyone that is making a profit for one of their divisions.
Two reporters from Time (owned by Warner) took me to dinner and told me
straight out that they believed my story but they could never publish it
because of Warner’s ownership. They did, however, reprint the nude of
Arnie in the international edition of Time, but not in U. S. Edition. A
synergy exists in the press (TV, Print, Book Publishing and Distribution)
that keeps us Americans from knowing the whole truth about a lot of
people.
Everybody on TV asked, why no one said anything about the real OJ
before the murders. Believe me, an Icon has to slit someone throat or
call Sally Quinn a name, before the powers will allow anything to be
printed about them that will interfere with their chances to make money
off them. That old “you will never work in this town again” is very much
in existence, but town has been change to country or lifetime. I call
upon the U. S. Government to investigate this synergy in the press and
break it up. When entertainment runs the news things have gone to far.
The FCC has got to get into the act and non renew the broadcast licenses
of TV & radio stations that belong to conglomerates that have
entertainment divisions.
The mobsters in the witness protection have alleged that Shaq and
other basketball player took bribes to shave points in college basketball.
Both Warner and Paramount know of this and protect them. Warner is even
using him to promote Sports Illustrated. Paramount sold Madison Square
Gardens and the Knicks after it learned, out of fear that a scandal would
reduce their value. Even the U. S. Attorney is ham strung. They will
probably give themselves another award.
President Esienhower warned us of the military industrial complex
and we got Vietnam. I am warning of a Press Synergy and god only knows
what we will get from that if we don’t wake up. President Arnold ?

When the star printed the article about Arnold appearing nude in the gay
mag “After Dark”, Arnold’s PR firm (Charlotte Parker Public Relations)
said that it was an accident that Arnold never did nudes except for a
world famous fashion photographer in N. Y. They went on to say that
Arnold had decided not to release the photos so they had been locked in a
vault. With that I gave the one of the nudes I had to Spy, and it was
later republished in Playboy, and the international edition of Time.
There they were caught in a lie.
A few days after the Spy publication Joe Weider called and asked who took
the nude of Arnold. I said ask Arnold. Joe said ,
“Arnold can’t remember”. Isn’t it nice that Arnold took so many nudes
that he can’t remember who took what.
A few more day went by and I got a call from a friend at Joe’s office who
was laughing hysterically. She told me that Franco Colombo had just
visited the office and the girls teased him about doing duel nudes with
Arnold. Franco said that he and Arnold use to lay out a Venice beach and
these gay guys would lay next to them. He said that they would offer he
and Arnold a lot of money to model for them. Franco then said, “I never
did”, but then in a softer more hushed tone he said, “but I think Arnold
did.”
Even I have never heard a breath of scandal about Franco hustling. I am
not sure he ever learned English well enough to barter.

syn·er·gy (s¹n“…r-j) n., pl. syn·er·gies. 1. The interaction of two or
more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the
sum of their individual effects. 2. Cooperative interaction among groups,
especially among the acquired subsidiaries or merged parts of a
corporation, that creates an enhanced combined effect. [From Greek
sunergia, cooperation, from sunergos, working together. See SYNERGISM.]
I have been attacked because of my faxes and internet postings on
Arnold Schwarzenegger. A few want to make in a personal issue. My main
purpose in bringing out all this on Arnold is to bring attention to the
Synergy that controls the mainstream news media. I grew up believing
that our press was free, and would protect us form arbitrary government
actions and expose those would break laws or moral restrictions. It was
the realization that Arnold wanted to run for the senate or governorship
of California that got me speak out. When I did speak out, I ran head
long in to the media synergy. This very difficult to someone that has not
dealt with to press and very complicated.
Basically the media synergy exists because most of the big media
outlet have been bought up by large corporations or individuals have that
entertainment interests. The news operations are not allowed to print
anything that harms their profits in the entertainment industry. It has
even expanded into good old boys circuit to protect the interest persons
they do business with or may be of aid to them at a future date. This may
even include government officials.
A good example of government official protection can be seen the
downfall of former congressman Wilbur Mills. Mills had been the
powerful chairman of a congressional committee. The news organizations
protected him because the needed his cooperation to get stories. Many
knew that Miles was a alcoholic and was having an affair with a Washington
stripper, Fanny Fox, but it never made the news until drunken Wilbur
called Washington Post editor’s ( Ben Bradley ) girlfriend ( Sally Quinn )
a bitch in public, and then all hell broke lose. The press was on him
like white on rice. The reporters followed him every where and all went
into the papers and on television.
When I learned that Schwarenegger was going to run for office, I
called a friend at the Star and they ran a story about Arnold’s nude
photos in the gay entertainment magazine “After Dark”. My friend at the
Star said they would run a whole series on Arnold, but it was not to be.
The owners of the Star ordered them not to report anything negative about
Arnold because of his political connections. The staff was appalled but
could do nothing. The Enquirer and Star a owned by the same people.
Two reporters from Time magazine called and asked if they could
take me to dinner and get the whole story. I had dinner with them and
told them the story, and gave them copies of all my proof. At the end of
our meeting they told me that they believed me, but could never publish
anything on Arnold because Warner controlled Time. “He is politically
protected”, but we can try to run the nude of him in the international
edition. They did run the nude in the international Time, but not in the
one on American news stands. I asked them why he was so protected, and
they said because of his relationship with the Kennedys and that Warner
hoped to do business with him. I never did figure out why the even met
with me if they knew they could not publish anything.
I received a call from Hardcopy, but that person only wanted to
get a copy of the porno film Arnold’s buddies did. After he had the film
he did not want to hear from me. Hardcopy and Inside Edition are owned by
Paramount and they are going to publish nothing negative about big box
office draws. Paramount had a three picture deal with Shaq, and when they
discovered that one of there subsidiaries was going to publish a book
about alleged payoffs by mobsters for point shaving while he was at LSU,
they canceled the book, sold Madison Square Gardens, sold the New York
Knicks, and sold the book publishing operations. Their butt was in the
clear, if the bribe scandal broke out they wouldn’t lose money. You will
never read that book or the one laying in the warehouse on NFL bribes.
If you think Ted Turner is going to protect our liberty with CNN
you are wrong. Nothing that affects box office stars is going to get on
the air. He owns TNT which makes movies. Turner was involved in the
effort to destroy Vince McMahon and the WWF. The managed to kill the WBF
and almost put Vince in jail. Ben Weider and Turner joined forces to get
McMahon when McMahon set up the WBF. Ted ended up with many of the WWF
wrestlers including Hulk Hogan working in the WCW which is owned by
Turner. Herb Abrams, owner of the UWA, did the dirty work for them.
Herb put all the wrestlers on the talk shows that accused Vince of
supplying steroid and covering up child molesting of the ring boys. The
irony was that Joe Weider was distributing steroids to the body builders
and had built his empire on child porn. The only steroids Vince gave out
were the packages Hogan left with him for other wrestlers. Ben Weider
used his partner Orrin Hatch to have the DEA bust Vince, but the jury
acquitted him. Hatch, while openly owning interest in four vitamin
companies, blocked a law to regulate some vitamins. Many wrestlers
accused Hogan of cocaine use as well as steroids, but the feds offered him
a plea bargain if he testified against McMahon. Steroid injecting, coke
snorting Hogan continues to promote himself as a role model for kids.
Even though John Walsh’s ( of Americas Most Wanted ) son was
killed by a child molester he has not responded to my requests for help,
and I sent him irrefutable proof of the Weider’s ten years of publishing
pictures of nude boys. The White House has the info, and so do Senators
Boxer and Feinstien.
We are in big trouble. If technology had not enabled me to get
these messages out on fax and the network they would be safe. When they
realize the back door is open watch out. If I am right AOL will try to
keep me off the network so if I lose access raise hell.
I went blind in due to diabetes at he age of 48. My sight was
restored in December by surgery, but I feel like I am living on borrowed
time so there is little they can do to me. The threats don’t bother me.
Some one did pile clothing in front of my door, and start a fire.
The big media conglomerates must be broken up if we are to have a
free press again.

Lacy is lying when he says the gym in Pumping Iron is Ken Sprague's gym in

The one in the movie is the original, owned by Joe Gold, on Pacific Avenue

Boy this guy real like Arnold. He will say anything to keep you
ignorant of the truth. Rent the video "Pumping Iron" and look at
the ending credits. You will find the special thank you to Ken
Sprague. Joe Gold did found Gold's but he sold it to Sprague and
it moved to Santa Monica in a building owned by TV star Robert
Blake. When the current owners bought it, they moved it back to
Venice. Pete ran Arnold out of the Gym. Arnold backed Joe Gold
in opening World. Few people know that Joe had to wait, because
Ken Sprauge put a clause in the sells contract that prevented
Joe form opening another gym for 7 years. Pipe down Max or I
will tell them about the Santa Monica Muscle Service.

Uh, excuse me, the original gym is no longer there. Last time I looked, it
had had the front windows blocked up, and I have heard that it's been razed
and something else built there. Where Gold's is now is not where it was
originally, nor is World's.

Everybody knows this. Joe sold out and there was a non-compete clause, but
it was shorter than what you say, because he opened World's in Venice a
couple of miles away from the original long before that. Ed Giuliani was the
manager, nice guy, always was.
>Pipe down Max or I
>will tell them about the Santa Monica Muscle Service.
Big deal. I never heard of it. There's always been a couple of guys like
that. Check out Zabo Koszewski's remembrances with George Turner in this
month's Iron Man for the lowdown. It sure wasn't the majority of guys back
then. Zabo was manager at Gold's in Venice (the original) for years, and he
remembers it just like I do.
