Angry O'Brien angers O'Brien

Dick expresses ‘some’ sympathy for Irish uber-entrepeneur Denis O’Brien. I have no sympathy for him at all – in fact I think he should be fined the sum total of his profits from selling Esat – and you all know the reason – corruption.

Esat Telecom, based on all the evidence from Moriarty, as I watched personally for weeks on end at the Tribunal, got the second mobile phone licence by buying off Michael Lowry.

Lowry awarded Esat the licence – and Lowry got lots of benefits directly and indirectly from Denis O’Brien and Esat. If you can’t draw a line between a and b then don’t, but its plain and obvious to us all what went on, is it not?

O’Brien had no right to the licence, and got it on the basis of corrupt payments. The entire thing is a travesty, and now he tries to hold on to his ill-gotten cash, giving the Revenue and the Moriarty Tribunal a big ‘***k off’

Fuck him too.

Sony to ship blue laser storage rig next month

Sony has started to ship its new blue laser technology – how long before red lasers become defunct?

Sony’s 23.3GB blue laser optical storage system will finally come to market next month, when the company ships products based on the technology. Those products were to have shipped in the summer.

Aimed at the kind of high-end storage applications traditionally delivered by 5.25in, 9.1GB Magneto Optical (MO) discs, the Professional Disc for Data (PDD) – as Sony is now calling it – was launched last April.

Different horses for foreign courses

Paul Mason from AK13 dropped me a mail about his latest post – interesting reading.

Political power is usually defined as the ability to make someone do something they would not otherwise do. It is a very general definition, saying nothing about how you make someone do something – you could, for example, pay them or hold a gun to their head. Power, as the academics say, is multi-dimensional.

I had a little look around AK13, seems that an intern I met briefly from the New Statesman, Kathryn, has written for them in the past.

London blog meet

A great night was had by all –Dan had to leave a bit early as he had to catch a flight today, but it was great to put a person to the blog, so to speak. Also there were another half a dozen bloggers, mainly from Samizdata, I spend most of my time chatting to Perry De Havilland and David Carr, very interesting exchange of opinions and ideas, fueled by alcohol.

I will have to get into some debates with Samizdata in the future.

A European force

An editorial from the New York Times – covering a topic oft covered on this blog. The growing thirst in Europe for a greater military power, to rival the United States, is something that seems to have affected the Bush administration.

The Bush administration has identified yet another threat abroad. This time it’s the proposal by France, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg to create a European Union military planning and command center separate from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Nicholas Burns, the U.S. ambassador to NATO, declared this no less than “one of the greatest dangers to the trans-Atlantic relationship” and summoned the allies to give an emergency display of fealty in Brussels.

It was as if the Europeans were seriously considering the creation of a European army that could challenge the United States, rather than another bureaucracy that might be simply redundant militarily and irritating politically. A separate headquarters is not a good idea, and the French and Germans should be regularly cautioned against letting defiance of the United States, or of NATO, go too far. There is ample provision in procedures agreed between NATO and the EU to cope with the sorts of limited operations France and Germany cite. But Washington’s overreaction only feeds the spreading fear that the United States seeks to maintain total control over Europe, a fear that could create just the sort of danger that Burns warns against.

What so worried the Bush administration was not only more insubordination from the French and Germans, but also that Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain did not leap to Washington’s side. Last month, Blair met in Berlin with President Jacques Chirac of France and Chancellor Gerhard Schröder of Germany to talk over European defenses. Exactly what transpired is not clear, but from all indications Blair rejected a separate headquarters as unnecessary, and talked instead of letting interested EU members, Britain among them, pursue greater unity through “structured cooperation.” There’s nothing particularly radical in that. Blair and Chirac had already spoken in 1998 of a European force. Britain, moreover, has been consistently staunch in its rejection of any European structures that could weaken trans-Atlantic ties. And a separate European headquarters would never have the forces or assets to conduct more than minor operations. Yet in the aftermath of the bitter disputes over Iraq, the Bush administration saw “structured cooperation” as a potential seed for the decoupling of Europe and the United States, and lost its cool.

Facts about Kimberley Scott Mathers

Kim is Eminem’s ex wife and the mom of his daughter Hailie Jade.

Their relationship has always been complicated, it the kind of love-hate relationship that is always on and off again. They were both unable to live together, but their couldn’t live with each other either…

Jesus actor struck by lightning

Actor Jim Caviezel has been struck by lightning while playing Jesus in Mel Gibson’s controversial film The Passion Of Christ.
The lightning bolt hit Caviezel and the film’s assistant director Jan Michelini while they were filming in a remote location a few hours from Rome.

It was the second time Michelini had been hit by lightning during the shoot.

And the chances of a Michelini being hit twice on the same set? God must not be happy! LOL

A Shady Mom

A Shady mom : Debbie Mathers

Every Eminem listener knows that he hates his mom. Some people don’t understand why the famous rapper expresses so much hatred about his own mom.

Debbie Mathers seems to have a complex personality.She has abused her son emotionaly, verbally and even physically. She is a sick person who used to suffer from Munchhausen’s syndrome (“…victim of Munchausen’s syndrome, my whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn’t /till I grew up). This line from “Cleaning Out My Closet” defines Debbie’s sickness.

What is exactly “Munchhausen’s syndrome” ? It’s a kind of psychological illness that was discovered in 1977. A person with Munchausen’s syndrome gives fake symptoms of illness and insists on the fact she is sick. This kind of sickness (which is Debbie’s case) can also take the form of child abuse ( the mother uses the child’s fake sickness to gain attention: this particular kind of desease is called Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy.

The mother makes her kid believe that he’s sick and convincesd him to take some medication which creates other symptoms like vomiting for instance.

Debbie Briggs Mathers is the first to make a drug addict of her own son.
Eminem had to testify against her in Court and he shares his statements in an interview given to the “Rolling Stone” Magazine:

“In Court I had to testify against her. Nate who was 9 at this time was too scared to testify against his mom. His mom made him believe he was an hyperactive kid and that hje was suffering from “Attention Deficit Disorder” . My mother said I was a hyper kid and I wasn’t, he said. She put me on Ritalin.”

Debbie who pretends that she still loves her sons and that she suffers a lot from his rejection also filed a 10 Million dollars lawsuit against him for defamation in June 1999 because on the verses of the song “My Name Is”: “I just found out my mom does more dope than I do”.

He jokes about in his song “Marshall Mathers”:”My fucking bitch mom is suing lme for 10 Million : she must want a dollar for every pill I’ve been stealing/ Shit where the fuck do you think I picked the habit/All I had was to go in her room and lift a mattress. “
But the whole story started with the interview Eminem gave in the Source Magazine called “fear of a white rapper” where the rapper relates many facts about his childhood.

As we know, there is no defamation in telling the truth. That’s exactly what Eminem points out in the same interview:”As bizarre as my shit might be, it’s still the reflection of the truth. When I say my mom does more dope than me, people I’m just craking jokes, but that shit is real. It’s part of my childhood. 100 % fucking true.”

Of course Debbie denies his allegations. But for Eminem , truth always matters. He is well known for always speaking his mind.

There are hidden reasons for Debbie’s lawsuit , but we can guess them easily. Filing a lawsuit is a good way to make dollars the good old American way.
Marshall also declined an out of Court offer to settle a 10 Million dollars lawsuit for 2 Million dollars. It shows how much she was in need of money.

Paul Rosenberg, Eminem’s manager, managed to prove the authenticity of Eminem’s allegations.

Later on , Debbie filed another lawsuit for 1 Million dollars because her son said “She does have no leg to stand on (in her defamation suit) and she’s looking for things I say in my interviews to help her.”

Debbie is also known as a “bingo addict”.

She also wants a lot of publicity. She released a record ( a three song CD) with X-ID where she addresses an open letter to her son .It is called “ Dear Marshall”:

dear *Marshall*,
I just wanna start out by saying
I still love you

even when i was pregnant with you
it was very hard for me
so many times of torture was worth every minute of it
cuz wen i looked in to those big blue eyes

more then i ever imagined

and never questioning ne thing you eva did
as you were perfect in my eyes
my unconditional love created a spoiled young man

its not too late for change
and always sincerely your mother

It sounds like a comedy knowing so many facts about Debbie.
When Marshall was a little boy, she used to treat him so badly.Once she came back home, and for no appearant reasons, she hit him, spat at his face, calling him “little bastard”.
Debbie has deeply hurt her son, what does she expect from him in return.
The worst sentence she has ever said to her son can be found in “Cleaning Out My Closet : “Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me”.
This sentence is killing love forever.

In the “Sally Raphael Show”, Debbie said that her son Marshall has been told by managers what to write in his songs and that his rage is just artistic expression.

People who know Eminem as an artist also know that he is not a commercial rapper . He has enough money and he doesn’t need to dis his own mom for recognition.

Debbie claims to be a good mom, but many other facts are talking against her.
When she left Marshall Mathers Jr, she didn’t spend his early years with Marshall. In fact, Eminem’s great aunt from Missouri, Edna Swartz, was taking care of him.
Debbie is also known for her instable relationships to men. She was dating many men. She’s been married four times.
Don De Marc, her former boyfriend says: “She complained of headaches, backaches and toothaches, she always seemed to be in pain. She was always looking for pain pills.” He also insists on her irrational character.

Nate is Eminem’s half brother.He’s been placed in a foster family for one year, because Debbie was abusive towards him.
Fred J. Samra (Nate’s Dad) also expressed about her :”She is lying about drugs and stuff, I won’t say any more.You would not believe the shit he( Marshall) has been through.

One of Debbie’s former husbands, Berger Olsen Au Gres remembers the time he was married to Debbie: “She was throwing him of the house all the time. I remeber Marshall telling her : “I want to do my rap, and when I do, I’m going to do all about you.”

Marshall Mathers is lucky to have found some consolation in his music , even if he is still hurt from his horrible past. His music helps a lot of kids who come from broken homes to overcome their problems. “Cleaning Out My Closet” is a real therapy for kids from dysfunctional families.
