save_the_whales Posted May 19, 2003 hello all, i am confused. I can't suss out whether Claude's (you know who!) last name is de Contrecouer OR Rifat. The webpage has de Contrecouer and a lot of writings have Rifat or just plain old Claude... anyone got any ideas? thanks, whale-breath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery_Noodle Posted May 19, 2003 *uses a whales rib to pick out the remainder of teh dolphin fin soup i just ate* I too find this most confusing...whast going on, maybe he was paranoid that the feds were after his brain so they copudl steal his thoughts and use them for evil, EEEVVVIIILLL. so he created a second persona, Rifat, mr.rifat.

Torsten Posted May 23, 2003 Claude de Contrecoeur is his nic/pen-name/handle. His real name is Claude Rifat. He is better known on the web as Claude de Contrecoeur though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
save_the_whales Posted May 23, 2003 thanks torsten. thats interesting, because the alta-vista translation of de contrecouer means 'of Back-plate'. sorry if i am offending anyone with my pokings-around, i am just trying to find out about claude, he has my deepest respects.

Northern Gnome Posted June 19, 2003 How did Claude die? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted June 20, 2003 Heartattack. Way too young for it really, but he had been very stressed and at times depressed over the last few years. His wife did not approve of this community, so getting first hand info is a little difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Gnome Posted June 20, 2003 Thanks. A few years back we had been corresponding by emails. I didn't know he died until seeing it on this site. My wife is much like his, she doesn't approve of my interest in Salvia Divinorum. It was Claude who introduced me to Salvia Divinorum through something he had posted on the net. [ 20.

Torsten Posted June 21, 2003 Claude introduced a lot of people to a lot of things. And each one was special to him. He really opened people's minds and hearts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theobromos Posted June 21, 2003 "Coeur" is "Heart" in French, non? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomaos Posted June 21, 2003 Hmmm... Claude Rifat... is the Kratom "rifat" Clone named after him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted June 22, 2003 theo - no idea. but if it is then what would contre mean in context? gom - close! Claude went to Thailand to get the plantmaterial for SAB, some of which became the Rifat clone. However, being the modest person he is, when I insisted naming it after him he requested that i dedicate it to his late brother. Hence the full name is actually the "Robert Rifat Clone".
