Correspondence

Email sent MARCH 11 2002 to beth@sisterrayenterprises, Lou’s assistant at the time :
“Dear Ms. Groubert , I am happy to hear that my friend F. finally managed to reach you on the phone and that you have asked me to contact you directly through your email.
Two years have passed since the day you received Terry
Ward and authorized him to send me your office address. Two years have also passed since I sent you the complete file that explained who I was and what I was doing.
A year later my other friend Reza (with whom you also
spoke on the telephone) came to New York and thanks to the help of George Rush from the New York Daily News we know that the same file (without the pictures) was given to Lou in person by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.Two months ago Terence Ward’s book was published and my “search for Lou” was also mentioned inside.
Now that I have involved the whole world in this quest
of mine, I suppose my time has arrived to receive an invitation to meet Lou.
As I have done before with regards to all my
correspondences, I will forward this email to my two chosen witnesses in the US (George Rush and Terence Ward).
Thank you for accepting to play your part in what may
appear, to many, a crazy game. I look forward to hear from you and Lou.
Fariba”

Letter sent to George Rush, NYDailyNews, Brussels, September 18 2003 :
“Dear Mr Rush,
I hope this is the last time I have to bother you. And sorry if it really bothers you.
Few days ago I finally have introduced myself to Tony Shafrazi in a file very similar to this one (just more pictures!); before I get his reaction, I felt that it is crucial that you watch this from close: the first confrontation with an art dealer and critic.
That letter + the Testimony inside and the answers that I expect to receive from all the actors involved (minus Lou himself who is leading this show from N.Y.C through me) represent the last touches of a conceptual work that officially started the day I met Terry in Tehran (spring 2000). A conceptual work that I have never been able to control, just able to understand while unfolding, and gradually explain to each one of the chosen witnesses. If nobody could survive to this endless tale (except Reza), I instead never stopped stay open about my Story –accepting to seem nuts to all. Since 9-11, the world has experienced a shock and hurt that could reflect what Lou and I have been experiencing since the beginning of our visions and confrontation with the Supreme: Terror. The price to pay for reaching Clarity but also the price to pay when you believe in Paradise.
Today, after having taken all the steps that I was meant to take (please read with care the following letters), I chose to stay discreet about some details concerning the contents of the Visions; but for you who have been part of my Secret, I offer you the chance to test my mind and my heart. First came Fox, then the President (whom I assume you are not very fond of, but maybe one day I can inspire you too), then Tony Shafrazi…and finally it is about the Dalai Lama Himself. Nobody seems to be missing and I am serious.
I haven’t received any news from nobody yet, but I am faithfully waiting for that day. I think, this time, it will be now.
But whatever time it will take to reach that point, this letter was the last step I had to take, after having made so much noise in order to introduce myself in advance to a city and a country that I respect and adore,
I hope that you trust me and Lou, together, And I hope I will meet you soon, fariba”

“Dear LOU, I can’t take it anymore. Never could; but this time it is like watching America having to start yet another war (Afghanistan?) and lose another soldier for a world unwilling to ever recognize her greatness and her sacrifices (past, present and future). Much less provide spiritual and/or material support of any sort. Big machination (ignorance/corruption) emanating straight from the UN. And unfortunately from inside America also. I don’t know what will finally break your silence. When will come the day where I can expect you to knock on my door and take me away. I have sent pieces of testimony all over the web since year 2006. including unfriendly sites where I did nevertheless run into few friendly voices (like “The Crack Emcee” who had just made his own conversion from Left to Right). I had well-connected messengers that have helped me find you, contact you and spread the word. Before that, I had messengers that have helped me contact Fox, and thru them, the former President of the United States and my own former Queen — Persia. The response was always the same: Full cooperation, then suddenly: mute — I mean, the messengers. To all I even gave away my password so that they could freely check my email and read my testimony. As an act of faith on my part and respect for them. Knowing what I was dealing with, I never misinterpreted their change of behavior. Like you, once they got involved in this quest, they had to be part of the same divine conspiracy. And accept to play mute. For one purpose only: test my faith, give future authority/credibility to my findings and on the side, give me a chance to write an ongoing testimony and build a case. For the two of us. Even though you never did pick up the phone, you have been part of my dreams and my visions since December 1998. All your albums since 1992 (Magic & Loss) and since + two Rock Operas have been telling the same story. I am the “Lonely Woman” you referred to 5 times starting your radio show. Your face appear magically on every one of my abstract paintings. I didn’t believe you when you bashed Bush and I don’t believe you when you praise Obama. You know better. And lastly, I am confident when I claim that your love relationship with Laurie Anderson is an act, your last year 10,-$ wedding a “lark”. To use your own words in your last song “The Power of the Heart” (& dedicated to me). That Laurie, being such special soul and a true friend, has accepted to play along and be our ally in a story that is bigger than ourselves and for a cause that is worth living for. Establishing the truth. Defining what’s right from what’s wrong and ultimately, helping to preserve and protect Freedom and Beauty against barbarity and oppression by first making clear what country and which party/leaders/ideals best defend man’s Rights and Liberty. For that you had to make some contradicting statements unworthy of your intelligence, hide from me when you are dying to run to me. Made easier to you because you know that I can never doubt you, nor would give up on you, much less stop loving you. I couldn’t be in your shoes. Being a WOMAN, not a MAN, I would have failed God’s Trust years ago knowing my *betrayal* was part of HIS DESIGN [– but it wasn’t and I wouldn’t, I too became strong like a rock — added DEC 2012.] If I can’t reach you, it is only because I am kept prisoner, puppet on a string, like we all are even if we thing we are in control. A course in humility. Our own will and actions are never enough to assure us safety. God is the ultimate decider. And I am grateful for it. Ultimately true knowledge comes with harsh times. And I had much to learn about and it never seems to stop. Of course my natural shyness didn’t help me neither. I got the whole world involved in my quest if they had ears to hear or eyes to see. I am still desperately looking for a well-intentioned and well-connected messenger that could find a way to take my hand and knock on your door if such powerful person did exist. But considering my past experiences with such witnesses, I doubt it will happen that way. I still hope that when you and L.A. are touring Europe this coming summer, together you’ll come to my door and bring me with you where I belong. After all I saw that scene happening in dreams several times.´´

Greenfield-Sanders @Liliana · Apr 28 Last one: Timothy G-S & Lou Reed. However much I miss him, I know my dad misses him more.

Email from Terence Ward (MARCH 12 2001), with message from Lou, thru T G-S — his first (and last) official statement:
Dear Fariba,
Good news! Just returned from Indonesia and spoke with George Rush who said your letter was personally delivered into Lou’s hands by his friend, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.
Who knows now what the future holds? But he has it and has seen your words. No doubt, Timothy said, he was touched by the revelation that you have found both he and Jean-Michel as your inspirations.
So, now the ball is in his court, so to speak. Keep up your painting and fill yourself with the joy that your words have finally been read by your muse.
All my love to you and to Nora and Nezam and the irrepressible Sheik a la Reza.
Terence
