Re: Anna Nicole Smith is Dead

I don't see anything wrong with the way Anna Nicole lived her life, but then again I don't see anything wrong with the way Charles Manson lived his life either.  It's all destined and pre-planned anyway as depicted in thousands of near-death experience reports.

P.S. - I'm not trying to argue with anyone.  I just think it's funny how everyone seems to degrade Anna Nicole.  Of course if it was Ron Jeremy who died or something, it would be treated way differently.

Re: Anna Nicole Smith is Dead

I dunno anything about ANS, I saw a couple clips advertising her show and ran the other direction as fast as I could. Since people are drawing a comparison to Marilyn Monroe, and this popped up in the show I was listening to coincidentally: Marilyn Monroe reincarnated (?)...

Anyways, what lala said, seems right on to me.

Re: Anna Nicole Smith is Dead

The public will now be bombarded with "all things Anna Nicole Smith" ad nauseum...and of course they will all be buzzing about it incessantly...

But, as many here probably suspect, besides the obvious distraction it's been designated for, there is likely more to this than meets the eye, like all things that TPTB put out for mass consumption...

READER: RMN PREDICTED ANNA NICOLE'S DEATH

Posted By: Rayelan <Send E-Mail>

    Hi Raye,

    Stunning news about Anna Nicole.
    RMN predicted as much in post

    http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/fo … read=92947

    on Sept 11 of this year.

    It looks like she had not yet gotten anything from the Marshall estate, at
    least not any money via the ongoing lawsuits.

    Marshall's bio at wiki indicates as much:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Howard_Marshall

    Perhaps something MORE VALUABLE THAN MONEY was being fought over by
    OTHERS...rights to the "Marshall" bloodline...or knowledge that bloodline
    held. You have often talked about how such bloodlines of the most elite are
    carefully planned and managed as custodians of the planet.

    Marshall's son died mysteriously amidst the controversy...On June 20, 2006,
    E. Pierce Marshall died at age 67 after an infection.

    Internet sources say Marshall was in Skull & Bones at Yale and business partner with the Harriman-Bush clan.... hmmmm...what valuable knowledge       coveted by the elite might Anna Nicole have gained during her intimate time with Marshall

    From the above post: http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/fo … read=92947

    THE OBVIOUS: THIS REMINDS ME OF THE FATE OF THE ONASSIS FORTUNE AFTER MANY UNTIMELY DEATHS

    Posted By: mailbag
    Date: Monday, 11 September 2006, 3:27 p.m.

    Anyone bring up the obvious yet?

    1. Anna Nicole gold dug her way to mega millions

    2. Her son was her sole heir until the minute the sister was born.

    3. What liklihood that the 20yr old son had a father different from the

    newborn daughter.

    4. How often do 20yr olds die of massive heart failure in bed?

    5. Both son and daughter shared the millions as joint heirs...for a very

    short time.

    6. Son dies, daughter is now sole heir.

    7. Father of daughter now has chance of sole control of millions...if Anna

    becomes incapacitated (or dies) and the daughter is a minor.

    Reminds me a little of the fate of the Onassis fortune after a string of

    tragic and untimely deaths...

And then this;

ANNA NICOLE IS A CASUALTY OF BEING AN ILLUMINATI WIDOW

Posted By: alchemist <Send E-Mail>
Date: Friday, 9 February 2007, 3:20 p.m.

In Response To: ANNA NICOLE AND THE BOHEMIAN GROVE (Rayelan)

    Project for the Exposure of Hidden Institutions ("PEHI") is outing the members of various secret societies (read “Illuminati� ). They are listing by name the actual members of the various camps at Bohemian Grove, outside of Carmel, California. I wonder how they got this information....
 
    ....J. Howard Marshall belonged to the Midway Camp at Bohemian Grove. He was Illuminati through and through....

    ...Through the courts, Anna Nicole received $88 million, right? The "elite" have a financial mechanism whereby they can leverage funds to quadruple in a VERY short period of time. Depositing $88 million into this mechanism will therefore yield $352 million in about a week or 10 days. Most of it is then re-leveraged to quadruple to $1.4 trillion in about another week or so. That pays for a lot of mayhem, huh?...

"Anna Nicole Smith And Our National Media Embarassment

The death of Anna Nicole Smith yesterday was a feeding frenzy for the national media, and coverage of the war was drowned out: NBC’s Nightly News devoted 14 seconds to Iraq compared to 3 minutes and 13 seconds to Anna Nicole. CNN referenced Anna Nicole 522% more frequently than it did Iraq. MSNBC was even worse – 708% more references to Anna Nicole than Iraq."

Well I don't see "everybody" degrading her.  I haven't, and I've seen other posters in this thread who haven't degraded her personally either.  For myself, I merely commented on the media circus distraction that has surrounded this event, amping it up to be more than it is.  Seriously, you would have thought the president had died, or that some huge terrorist act had happened on this country with the way the media is covering the story.  It's getting top billing on news sites, in lieu of other more important and real stories.  Many sites have an "Anna Nicole Smith Timeline" going....a timeline of her last months of life!!  They had a "timeline" for what happened on 9/11....but you don't create timelines for dead celebs.  That's nuts.   And they're covering every little bit of minutae.  Any bit of anything that anybody has to say...gets reported.  Every trivial detail that anybody can offer....gets reported.  It's just nuts.  (okay....and guess what.......a new twist has been added to the mix.  The baby may actually be the product of the frozen sperm from J. Howard Marshall that Anna had frozen after he died.  I'm not even kidding, just saw that headline five minutes ago.  So now we have four baby daddy possibilities.....cue the circus music, juggling clowns, dancing elephants, midgets being shot out of cannons...)

As far as Ron Jeremy goes, I don't get the analogy.  He was a porn star.  So how that would have been treated any differently, I don't know, other than that he wouldn't get even 1/1000th the attention ANS is getting.  Nobody cares about Ron Jeremy other than porn stars and people who dig classic porn.  So maybe that wasn't a good analogy....?   Unless I'm misunderstanding what you meant, I don't know.  Who knows.  WHO CARES!   STOP THE MADNESS!!!!!!!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!  wink

Re: Anna Nicole Smith is Dead

Lala, your post expressed things beautifully.  You put to words what had been nagging at me as an subconscious undercurrent.   If we want to know why Anna Nicole has captured people's attention, I think we need to look at what she represented.  The media storm is just capitalizing on that "something," and taking the focus away from the deeper meaning.  Degradation, humiliation, and objectification have become so prevalent in our society that we don't even notice it anymore.  She was the epitome of this way of life and it killed her.  I personally  haven't seen any news coverage that goes into depth about this, and I doubt I will.  But this should be the real "news story."

OK-- this makes more sense.  I had been trying to fit what Lakme said into context, and I couldn't see the connection.  I couldn't see why she would have been gotten rid of this late in the game, because anything she knew she would have already had time to tell.   The baby wouldn't be bloodline, as he was purporting.  Unless.... unless what you say is true.

Re: Anna Nicole Smith is Dead

Wow...I never knew that was a lie.  I guess Anna was smarter then I originally thought?
I don't idolize her, I felt bad for her but now that it's coming out that it was all a lie,
and a illusion she was giving off.  I don't know what to think anymore. 
It's all Smoke & Mirrors indeed.

I wonder if this was true:

News: Anna Nicole Smith Had Sex with Ghost

Model Anna Nicole Smith admitted that she's had sexual encounters of a ghostly kind:
"A ghost would crawl up my leg and have sex with me at an apartment a long time ago in Texas," she said.

Another thing I don't think anyone mentioned about the strange death of her son is that she (ANS) was apparently shouting "You killed him!" at her doctor when the nurse found them.

If Anna Nicole is the American Dream, one can quickly see where American society has gone wrong. Is the American Dream now simply "more is better"? Anna Nicole is not a true rags to riches story. Anna Nicole never created wealth, she simply sucked it off someone else.

SamIAm wrote:

Who are you to judge her character? What good did she bring to the world?  I don't know her personal life,  or how she managed her money, but many people seemed to have loved her, and I'm sure she has helped many organizations and people out with the money she has made on her own doing, through her own career as a model/ pornstar/ actress...

The man has a valid point in some respects. She did donate some of her money to charitable causes, such as PETA, which I suppose is something. But then again when you have plenty of cash to spend, throwing money at charities is often nothing more than a token gesture commonly used to raise one's public image. I'm not judging her so much as giving my observations on her character and very public lifestyle.

I don't know if David Icke or Stuart Wilde ever donated any of their money to organizations or the poor, but at least they lived their life how they wanted too.  Isn't that the most important thing?   For me they didn't bring much insight at all to my life.  Anna Nicole at least brought me laughter over fear.

But it wasn't so much a case of laughing with her as it was one of laughing at her. Something that was also said about David Icke by Terry Wogan. That's about the only similarlity that I can see, so I'm not really sure where you're going with those comparisons. David Icke isn't that rich, and Stuart Wilde gave up his wealth. Anna Nicole Smith chased wealth, and spent large portions of her later life in legal battles over wealth. Her friends have said that she was unhappy for much of her life. I'm not surprised....

SamIAm wrote:

Anna Nicole might of not of lived a life you agree with, but at least she lived it, and made something of it, and at least her daughter will have an estate to build her life on when she grows up.  That's more then my parents can ever say, and most likely yours.

You speak as though you still think that material accomplishments, and "having an estate to build on", are of the slightest importance whatsoever. Get your head outta that Matrix! With the way the world is going right now, by the time her daughter is old enough to build anything on said estate it won't even matter.

My point being: do we really have to sacrifice integrity and ethics just to get through modern life? Do we have to cuddle up to a wealthy old man, then sue his family for everything he was worth once he's dead? Is that the most we can aspire to? Is Anna Nicole Smith any kind of good role model for young women? She was a media whore; the product of a rampant consumerist society gone bananas. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm not celebrating the fact that she's dead. I'm just wondering what all the media fuss is for.

"Anna Nicole never created wealth, she simply sucked it off someone else."

Uh, isn't that how EVERY rich person got wealthy?  Our entire economic system is one of domination, so either the wealthy exploited the earth, or other people (or their parents did)

*I suppose there are some who "create" wealth, if by wealth you mean money.  In that case, yes central banks to "create" wealth, but printing all that money just makes the rest less valuable, so again in essence they are simply stealing/sucking wealth of anyone who saves.

Judge stays ruling for Anna Nicole Smith's daughter's DNA test

UPI News Service, 01/25/2007

A Los Angeles judge has stayed his previous ruling that ordered Anna Nicole Smith to submit her daughter for a paternity test.

Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider, who issued his original ruling Dec. 21, scheduled a follow-up hearing for Feb. 7, Eonline.com said.

Photographer Larry Birkhead filed suit against Smith in October, claiming he is Dannielynn's father and requesting that Smith present the child for a DNA test. Birkhead sued Smith and Howard K. Stern for fraud and conspiracy after Stern's name was listed as Dannielynn's father on the birth certificate.

"Today (Tuesday) the court ruled that the collection of DNA samples may not go forward at this time," Smith's attorney Ron Rale said. "(T)his has nothing to do with Anna Nicole refusing to comply with court orders."

Smith's legal team argued that a judge from the Bahamas, where Smith has been living since August, also needed to approve the order before their client could be compelled to comply.

Maybe she knew about O.J. Simpson. They both played in the same movie Naged Gun. That was before his wife's murder.

Anna Nicole Smith Dies, O.J. Simpson Plans Book
By Biff Scuzzy
Feb 9, 2007, 10:05

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - Anna Nicole Smith was found "unresponsive" by her private nurse in a Florida hotel room on Thursday. The thirty-nine-year-old celebrity was taken to a hospital where she later died. O.J. Simpson does not believe she died of natural or pharmaceutical causes.

Mr. Simpson, one of this country's leading amateur criminologists, told THEM Weekly that he is "about halfway through" a book entitled If I Did It, Volume II, the second in a planned series of "literary confessions" in which Mr. Simpson explains how he would have murdered a tall blonde white woman.

"It's obvious to me that Nicole, I mean Anna Nicole, was murdered," said Mr. Simpson, who declined to identify her killer. Mr. Simpson did say, however, that "when a hot-looking blonde is found dead, you've got to take a long, hard look at her husband or boyfriend."

When Mr. Simpson was asked if his theory suggested that Anna Nicole Smith had been killed by her companion, Howard Stern, he replied, "You'll have to read the book to find out. All I'm saying is, "here's how I would have killed her and her son if I were a sleazy-looking lawyer who stood to gain financially from their deaths."

Mr. Simpson believes that Mr. Stern needed to get Ms. Smith and both her children out of the way before he could inherit her estate, which includes a $438 million claim against the estate of J. Howard Marshall II, a Texas oil billionaire whom Ms. Smith married in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26. Fourteen months later Mr. Marshall died, as happy as a ninety-year-old is capable of being happy.

Mr. Stern, a lawyer specializing in personal injury cases, once outran an ambulance in a forty-yard dash to raise money for charity. Las Vegas oddsmakers list him at 4-1 as the potential father of the late Ms. Smith's five-month-old daughter, Dannielynn Hope Smith.

an image
Larry Birkhead, an unemployed "portrait photographer" and one of Ms. Smith's former lovers, is the 9-5 favorite. Other contenders are Daniel Wayne Smith, Ms. Smith's late son (3-1); musicians Tommy Lee (8-1) and Kid Rock (10-1); ex-president Bill Clinton (6-1); and the cast of Jackass: Number 2 (10-1).

Mr. Stern reacted angrily when he was told about Mr. Simpson's comments, claiming it was "merely a coincidence" that he was the last person to have seen Anna Nicole Smith and her son, Daniel, alive.

"Why would I want to kill her?" asked Mr. Stern. "I saved her life when she got drunk and jumped into the ocean wearing a ten-pound dress the day we were married on the boat by an astrologer."

In related news, an editor at National Lampoon, publisher of If I Did It, Volume II, said the book, which is expected to go directly to magazine format, will be on newsstands everywhere by the end of the month.

News Corp. Cancels O.J. Simpson Book and TV Special
Tuesday, November 21, 2006

O.J. Simpson gives an interview to HarperCollins publisher Judith Regan, not seen, for his canceled TV special 'If I Did It.'

O.J. Simpson gives an interview to HarperCollins publisher Judith Regan, not seen, for his canceled TV special 'If I Did It.'

    *

NEW YORK –  News Corp., the parent company of book publisher HarperCollins and the FOX network, has canceled publication of the O.J. Simpson book and television special "If I Did It."

"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch said. "We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."

In the book, the one-time football superstar tells how he would have killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman if, in fact, he had done it.

“¢ Speakout! What Do You Think About O.J.'s Nixed Deal?

Simpson told The Associated Press in a phone interview late Monday he could not comment on the situation "until I know legally where I stand."

He added, "I would like nothing better than to straighten out some things that have been mischaracterized. But I think I'm legally muzzled at this point."


Before the decision was announced, a dozen FOX affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, which was scheduled to air next week ahead of the book's publication.

One station manager who had said he wouldn't air the special said he was concerned that whether or not Simpson was guilty, he would still be profiting from murders.

"I have my own moral compass and this was easy," said Bill Lamb, general manager of WDRB in Louisville.

Relatives of the victims have lashed out at the now scuttled publication and broadcast plans.

"He destroyed my son and took from my family Ron's future and life. And for that I'll hate him always and find him despicable," Fred Goldman told ABC last week.

The industry trade publication Broadcasting & Cable editorialized against the show Monday, saying "FOX should cancel this evil sweeps stunt."

One of the nation's largest superstore chains, Borders Group Inc., said last week it would donate any profits on the book to charity.

Also last week, Judith Regan, would-be publisher of Simpson's book, said she did not pay Simpson for the rights to publish his book.

"What I do know is I didn't pay him," Regan said in an eight-page statement titled "Why I Did It." "I contracted through a third party who owns the rights, and I was told the money would go to his children. That much I could live with."

“¢ Raw Data: Judith Regan Statement: 'Why I Did It'

Regan also said in the statement that she wanted Simpson's "confession" because she herself was once a victim of abuse.

"I made the decision to publish this book, and to sit face to face with the killer, because I wanted him, and the men who broke my heart and your hearts, to tell the truth, to confess their sins, to do penance and to amend their lives."

Although Regan has acknowledged that Simpson does not directly say that he killed his ex-wife and her friend, she said she considers the book to be his confession.

Regan said Simpson approached her with the idea for the book, which reportedly was sold for $3.5 million.

"If I Did It," which was to be published by ReganBooks – an imprint to HarperCollins, was scheduled for release Nov. 30. FOX had planned to air a two-part TV interview of Simpson on Nov. 27 and 29.

In the television world, the closest precedent for such an about-face came when CBS yanked a miniseries about Ronald Reagan from its schedule in 2003 when complaints were raised about its accuracy. The Reagan series was seen on its sister premium-cable channel, Showtime, instead.

For the publishing industry, the cancellation of "If I Did It" was an astonishing end to a story like no other.

Numerous books have been withdrawn over the years because of possible plagiarism, most recently Kaavya Viswanathan's "How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life," but a book's removal simply for objectionable content is virtually unheard of.

Pre-order sales had been strong, but not sensational. "If I Did It" cracked the top 20 of Amazon.com last weekend, but by Monday afternoon, at the time its cancellation had been announced, the book had fallen to No. 51.

Simpson was acquitted of the murders in 1995, but was later found criminally liable for the deaths in civil court in 1997.

Although he was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages to the Goldman family, Simpson has avoided making full restitution because California law prevents his NFL pension from being seized to satisfy the judgment. His lavish residence in Florida is similarly protected under state law.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

FOX and HarperCollins are owned by News Corp., which is the parent company of FOXNews.com.

O.J. Simpson to confess – hypothetically
Plus: Toni Braxton sobs while discussing autistic son

“¢ O.J. Simpson writing a book?
Oct. 19: The National Inquirer reports O.J. Simpson is writing a book about hypothetical account of his ex-wife's murder, Anna Nicole Smith held a funeral for her son, Borat's been invited to Kazakhstan and the Mills-McCartney divorce rages on.

By Jeannette Walls
MSNBC
Updated: 2:54 a.m. CT Oct 30, 2006

O.J. Simpson is confessing. Hypothetically, that is.

The former football great, who was acquitted in criminal court 11 years ago of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, reportedly has been paid a whopping $3.5 million to write about the double murder that shocked and riveted the nation in 1994, according to a detailed report in the new National Enquirer.

But Simpson is not actually confessing to the murder – rather, he’s writing a “hypothetical”  book – which the Enquirer reports is tentatively being called “If I Did It.”
Story continues below ↔ advertisement

The early part of the book tells how Simpson fell in love with Nicole and how the marriage collapsed, reports the tab. He goes on, according to the article, to describe in gruesome detail the killing of his ex-wife and Goldman; he stipulates that the murder scenes are “hypothetical.”  But, notes the tab, the descriptions are “so detailed and so chillingly realistic”  that readers are left with little doubt as to what really happened.

Simpson can never be retried for the murders because of double jeopardy laws, according to the Enquirer, which also claims that Simpson aims to keep any book money instead of paying it out in a civil suit judgment against him by spending it all quickly.


Why do you think Simpson is writing this book?

A mother's love
Toni Braxton startled – and moved – fans in a recent concert at the Flamingo in Las Vegas when she broke down in tears, discussing her autistic son.

“She was dedicating ‘I Wanna Be (Your Baby)’ to her son, and then she said something about how people have warned her that she shouldn’t talk about it, but said that he was autistic, and then she started crying and rushed off stage,”  says a source. “It was very emotional.”

Braxton’s rep didn’t return a call, but fans have been writing Braxton in support.

“Please don’t lose heart,”  one fan who also has an autistic child wrote to Braxton. “You’ll see great improvements with your little one. May God bless you and bring your little one around soon.”

Notes from all over
“The Bridge,”  an anti-Scientology film, was removed from the Internet – and one critic is claiming that folks linked to the religion put pressure on the filmmaker, Brett Hanover. “[i]t appears that Scientology has hired investigators to dig up dirt on Brett Hanover to shudder him into silence,”  writes blogger Mark Bunker. ” They have succeeded.”  . . . Diana Ross has reached out to Beyoncé Knowles, Alicia Keys and Mariah Carey – offering them advice on how to survive in the business. “I was getting ready to give advice and support to any of them ... because Mariah Carey used to always ask ... how to have longevity,”  the diva said, reports ContactMusic. “So I am available to discuss what it takes.”   . . . Jack Osbourne says the best part of being famous is the freebies. “I got a 40-inch plasma screen the other week, which was pretty cool,”  he said. “I went to a party run by my housemate who’s a PR blogger and all I had to do was have a photo taken of myself with the TV. Having said that, it still hasn’t turned up in the post yet.“
