O. J Simpson's Girlfriend in ICU: Cops Investigating

Christie Prody

Was it a "fall" at a local gas station or an assault that landed OJ Simpson's longtime girlfriend, Christie Prody, in Baptist Hospital's intensive care unit with a head injury?

Simpson and Prody

Are we seeing subtle shades of "Nicole", Simpson's first wife? The woman who ended up with her throat slit on her front porch in the summer of 1995? A woman whose diaries of OJ battering and stalking her and photos of her with a beaten to a pulp face were not allowed in OJ Simpson's trial?

OJ Simpson and Nicole Brown Simpson

Nicole and O.J. separated in early 1992 and were divorced on October 15, 1992. Nicole cited abuse and adultery. In her diary, Nicole wrote that the domestic violence began in 1977. "by the time of the murder trial in 1995, the Los Angeles prosecution had compiled a list of his abusive behavior which contained 62 separate incidents of physical and mental mistreatment, in addition to numerous threats and examples of control manipulation he had carried out."

The Miami Herald spoke with Simpson over the phone about Prody's mishap, a "slip and fall" at a southwest Miami-Dade gas station Monday night.

According to the Herald, Simpson is upset over allegations from the National Enquirer Online that Prody might not have "accidentally slipped" but may of been assaulted instead:

O.J. Simpson's long-time girlfriend has severe injuries that are consistent with an assault, rather than simply a fall, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

Christie Prody, 32, remains hospitalized at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Miami and may be facing brain surgery. The NATIONAL ENQUIRER broke the story yesterday of Prody's injuries and revealed that O.J. was questioned by police detectives at his home in Florida. The police are still investigating.

Simpson took the opportunity in the police report to talk about Prody's prolific drinking while on recent trip to San Antontio, Texas, stating that his girlfriend was unable to fly back with Simpson due to being "heavily intoxicated" and a "problem with the dog." But Simpson went on to reiterate what a "great" girl Prody was:

''We've gone together on and off for a lot of years,'' Simpson said Wednesday. ``She's a great girl.''

According to the Herald the police have been called to the Simpson-Prody residence a total of five times in the last seven years due to altercations between the couple. Neither has pressed charges.

Simpson met Prody in Los Angeles where she worked as a waitress and after he was acquitted in the murder charges in the horrific slashing murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman in the summer of 1995.

According to the Enquirer, Prody's injuries do not match up with a "slip and fall" as she had "large abrasions and bruising on her face, arms, legs and buttocks." She remains in intensive care while Simpson claims she fell down while being drunk. Simpson also claims he wasn't there. No word yet if there were any witnesses to Prody's "accident" at the gas station.

Simpson is out on bail and awaiting trial in Los Vegas where he stands charged with armed robbery and kidnapping charges from a previous incident over sports memorbilia.

Andrea Dworkin wrote in an article in the Los Angeles Times in 1995 about Nicole Brown Simpson's attempts to get away from Simpson:

"I'm scared," Nicole Brown told her mother a few months before she was killed. "I go to the gas station, he's there. I go to the Payless Shoe Store, and he's there. I'm driving, and he's behind me."

None of what Nicole wrote in her diary of her treatment at the hands of Simpson was allowed in the double-murder trial. Andrea wrote after Nicole's death some of what Nicole had either told others or written in her diary:

What dignity is there, after all, in confessing, as Nicole did in her diary, that O.J. started beating her on a street in New York and, in their hotel room, "continued to beat me for hours as I kept crawling for the door." He kept hitting her while sexually using her, which is rape--because no meaningful consent is possible or plausible in the context of this violence.

At the time of the murders of Nicole and her young friend, Ron Goldman, OJ Simpson's persona of a man who was a good guy was still in full force. But privately, in the world that Nicole shared with OJ Simpson, was a far different man, a man out of control, a batterer and abuser:

Those of us who are not jurors have a moral obligation to listen to Nicole Simpson's words: to how O.J. Simpson locked her in a wine closet after beating her and watched TV while she begged him to let her out; to how, in a different hotel room, "O.J. threw me against the walls . . . and on the floor. Put bruises on my arm and back. The window scared me. Thought he'd throw me out." We need to hear how he "threw a fit, chased me, grabbed me, threw me into walls. Threw all my clothes out of the window into the street three floors below. Bruised me." We need to hear how he stalked her after their divorce. "Everywhere I go," she told a friend, "he shows up. I really think he is going to kill me."

We found the comments posted at the end of the Herald story to be illuminating as to the court of public opinion in regards to this latest Simpson saga tinged with mystery and perhaps, violence.

This guy will be with Bubba soon,one way or an another,he's a piece of $hit........

Is it me or does she look alot like the woman he killed?

Public support has dwindled for Simpson. It's been almost 13 years since the murders of Nicole and Ron Goldman. Simpson is now 60 years old and facing yet another trial in Las Vegas. OJ and Christie have established a history of calling up the Miami cops to referee their fights but have refused to press charges. Simpson has now publicly claimed his "love" is a falling down drunk while she recovers from a slip and fall injury in the local ICU.

Just another day in the life of O. J. Simpson.

Attorney Sues Website That Claimed He Was A Cheater

An attorney has sued a website charging it had "defamed him by publishing false and malicious statements." [1]

The web site, "Don'tDateHimGirl.com boasts 600,000 registered users and over a million hits a day. Anonymous posters can submit photos and names of men and then post comments such as "he's a cheater, gay, has herpes" and other various sundries.

The attorney claims that his profile was added to the website where allegations of him being gay, unclean, and consorting with women in every "zip code."

This raises the question of the veracity of the "posters." What if the person was seeking revenge from being dumped? What safeguards are in place to protect the men from false claims posted on this site?

Perhaps men could design a new website in their defense. They could call it, Don'tfallforDon'tDateHimGirl.com or Don'tDateHimGirlIsFullof$##$#.com or Don'tDateHerDude.com.

Ecuador Wants Miami Military Base: Many Issues Here

[image of Miss Ecuador 2004 by ecuador.usa]

Gloria Estaban CDs?
Another War on Drugs Outpost?

Ecuador wants a swap: the U.S. base at Manta for a base in Miami. Ecuador wants a military base in Miami? If you're an anti-drug warrior, the news is encouraging. Is the base necessary for U.S. defense? Or is it another outpost in the U.S.'s 2nd-longest running war--The War on Drugs? Is Ecuador making a military or political point?

More from Reuters:

Ecuador's leftist President Rafael Correa said Washington must let him open a military base in Miami if the United States wants to keep using an air base on Ecuador's Pacific coast.

Correa has refused to renew Washington's lease on the Manta air base, set to expire in 2009. U.S. officials say it is vital for counter-narcotics surveillance operations on Pacific drug-running routes.


"We'll renew the base on one condition: that they let us put a base in Miami -- an Ecuadorean base," Correa said in an interview during a trip to Italy.

"If there's no problem having foreign soldiers on a country's soil, surely they'll let us have an Ecuadorean base in the United States."

The U.S. embassy to Ecuador says on its Web site that anti-narcotics flights from Manta gathered information behind more than 60 percent of illegal drug seizures on the high seas of the Eastern Pacific last year.

The failure to renew the lease at Manta would be a blow to U.S. drug interdiction efforts. That should be enough to make anti-drug warriors happy.

Of course, the Ecuadorians are making a political point. And of course, one has to wonder what the base in Miami would add to Ecuadorian security--other than help prevent the import of illegal Gloria Estaban CDs. It's not like Ecuador--not the richest of countries--couldn't use the money from the base rent.

Might Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez be taking up the slack on that point?

Liberty City Seven Trial:Holy War in Miami was the Purpose of Planned Bombings, Poisoning and Chaos

[graphic: Little Baby Ginn]

by Mondoreb & Little Baby Ginn

The "Liberty City Seven" trial opened today in Miami with allegations from the prosecution that the men threatened bombings, poisoning salt shakers in restaurants and anything to create general chaos. The men were attempting to start a holy war with their actions.

From Reuters:
MIAMI (Reuters) - Seven men plotted to bring down the U.S. government with attacks ranging from poisoned saltshakers to bombings of landmark buildings, a prosecutor told Miami jurors in Tuesday's opening of their terrorism conspiracy trial.

The "Liberty City Seven" aimed to create chaos as part of a holy war to pave the way for al Qaeda-affiliated guerrillas to take over the United States, Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Gregorie said in the prosecution's opening statement.

"We need to make the people go crazy in the streets," Gregorie quoted alleged ringleader Narseal Batiste as saying. "Allah is going to take over through us."

Defense lawyers said the charges were "nonsense" scripted by the government and orchestrated by informants they called Conman No. 1 and Conman No. 2.

So was this a jihad or nonsense?

They said the defendants, one of whom was devoted mainly to smoking marijuana, had no weapons or intent to do violence and that it was the informants who suggested poisoning restaurant saltshakers and blowing up buildings.

The "Liberty City Seven," named for the poor Miami neighborhood where the young men gathered in a rundown warehouse, were arrested in 2006 on charges of plotting to blow up Chicago's 110-story Sears Tower -- the tallest U.S. skyscraper -- and other buildings, including New York and Los Angeles FBI offices and the Miami federal court complex where they are on trial.

One has to question how the defendant devoted to smoking marijuana found the energy to do anything other than making sure his stash of Oreos was secure. Of course, the prosecution would see this differently.

Feelings on the trial have run strong with the prosecution's advocates claiming that this headed off major chaos. The defendant's advocates insist that the accused were just arrested because of their strong beliefs, pot smoking and because of where they were from.
