I swear this ME's lump has grown bigger since earlier in the afternoon. Maybe it just the camera angle now. Wow... I wonder what happened to him to cause that.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"But then he says the case should be in the Bahamas per the courts and the courts told Larry Birkhead to go to the Bahamas and pursue the case.....true or spin, I can't say"

He's been saying that all day. Opri, Birkhead's attorney, says.....why should he have to go the Bahamas to try the case?

[TexKat]

Shane Gibson Attacks The Glass Ceiling

We keep hearing that Birkhead must travel to the Bahamas. That's likely a fact.

[Jrabbit]

More Questions For Shane Gibson

posted by newsadmin 94 days ago view profile

In the House of Assembly last week Immigration Minister Shane Gibson seemed to be backing off from his own words claiming Anna Nicole Smith as his "personal friend" - his words, not ours.

It was Mr Gibson himself who put his friendship with Ms Smith into the public arena. However, he did say to those who criticised the delivery of a residence permit in 21 working days that credit for the speed was due to his ministry's new found efficiency.

He said if he could have moved Ms Smith's permit through the bureaucratic hoops even faster he would have done so. "If it could have been done in a day then I would have done it in a day," he boasted arrogantly as he verbally cocked a snook at his critics.

However, in the House last Wednesday he took a few steps back. He now wanted to portray the friendship of Ms Smith as of recent vintage, and, if the truth be known, it was thrust upon him by the suggestion of a young lawyer in the law firm of Callenders and Co.

"Now bear in mind," he told parliamentarians on the evening of November 11 when he laid immigration documents in connection with Ms Smith's residence application on the table of the House, "I never met Ms Anna Nicole Smith up until the third week in August - that's the first time I met her in my life - this year."

He said that "they" - we assume he was referring to Ms Smith and her current companion, lawyer Howard Stern- had a conversation with Miss Tracy Ferguson, a junior partner at Callender and Co when they asked her if she advised them to meet with the minister. "That's me," said Mr Gibson.

Reading from a letter that Ms Ferguson wrote to Mr Stern on August 23 to confirm a conversation they had had that morning, Mr Gibson said the following was Ms Ferguson's response to their question.

"This is the response, Mr Speaker," said Mr Gibson: "I am aware of this. I am aware of the meeting - this is Tracy Ferguson speaking -'if a meeting has been requested, Anna should endeavour to meet with the Minister as soon as possible'. They advise her to meet with the Minister - that's me - 'he ultimately is the person who can expedite the process of her application.'

"You see," continued Mr Gibson, "she hadn't known me up to that point, so when they say I process it quickly because she is my friend you see, you see, I had not known her - the lawyers advise her that she should meet with me..."

We do not know if Mr Gibson needs glasses or if it were an accidental or deliberate slip of the tongue, but Ms Ferguson in her letter confirming her conversation with Mr Stern, never said that she was aware of a meeting she was being asked to recommend. As a matter of fact she said just the opposite.

In reference to Mr Stern's question as to whether Ms Smith should meet with the Minister, Ms Ferguson wrote: "I am unaware of this ..." The word Mr Gibson used was unaware, not aware - there's an ocean of difference in meaning between them.

However, there is a letter that does intrigue us and we certainly would like it explained.

On September 11 a letter from the Director of Immigration, addressed to Ms Ferguson at Callenders, advised her that the permit for Mrs Vickie Lynn Marshall (Ms Smith) for residence had been approved without the right to work. It said that the permanent residence certificate remains "in force during the lifetime of a person to whom it is granted unless otherwise revoked."

Now comes the unusual section of the letter. Remember all documentation is supposed to have been submitted to Immigration for them to do background checks, including a police certificate, before a decision can be made on the application for status. But, according to this letter, Ms Smith was granted her residence permit, but the department is yet to receive the essential police certificate! What kind of due diligence is this?

This is the first time that we have ever seen an Immigration letter that makes such a request after having granted a permit. Usually the delivery of a permit is subject only to the payment of a specified fee - all the other required documents having already been considered and processed.

We have asked many questions about this and received many explanations. However, the most persistent one was that Immigration was made to believe that the Los Angeles Police Department has such a backlog of applicants that it would take six months to get such information. It is alleged that Ms Smith was allowed to swear an affidavit as to her squeaky clean character - and Immigration accepted the explanation and the affidavit. Our officials obviously forget that we live in a computer age and that such information is available with the click of a mouse.

We would like to know if the account we have been given is accurate. Has Immigration received the required police character certificate as yet?

If they are still having difficulty procuring this information maybe we can be of some help. We suggest they go to the web, call up NNDB.com - select the letter S, scroll down to Smith and follow it with Anna Nicole - et voila! Tell the nation what you find!

well Stern is not a citizen of the Bahamas. The house has been taken back by the true owner of it. So how long will Stern be able to hide in the Bahamas with the baby?

[onyx]

LOL point taken. Geraldo is saying what we've been saying... and that frightens me.

[maggief]

This isn't good. Ya' think all those HKS attorneys are contingent?

[onyx]

*** placemark ***

Gerlado has my attention right now,* gasp * but I need to come back to this.

What did BOR and Jerry have to say?

[A Citizen Reporter]

And once again, I choose to watch a commercial over Bill O'Reilly. BOR is so very often WRONG......last time he took out after a victim it was Shawn Hornbeck, and look at the charges that have been filed against his perp. BOR is actually painful to watch. MORE painful than Nancy Grace, and I never thought I'd say that.
