Character assassin–cum–biographer Tom Bower weighs in on Black
Posted on March 4, 2008 by Douglas Bell
Among the more grinding ironies that his Lordship had to endure on that inauspicious yesterday was the appearance at 2:19 p.m. EST of a piece on the Web site of his former flagship, The Daily Telegraph. In it, and without the riposte, Black’s most ferocious tormentor, the character assassin–cum–biographer Tom Bower, puts the boot in without fear of contradiction:
He did not have much of a defence. What he did succeed in doing was confuse and divide the jury… The key fact is that Conrad Black owned only 16 per cent of Hollinger yet took over 90 per cent of its net income and spent it on his own lifestyle. That is what provoked the shareholders revolt and this prosecution. The Americans are brilliant. They bring these white collar criminals to book whereas in England he would have got away with it. Conrad Black chose the wrong place to perpetrate his crimes.
This from the same guy who, when barred from entering the courtroom in Chicago, yelled at a federal marshall, “In the name of common decency, I demand that you desist. We’ve been covering these proceedings for months and on a fascistic whim you would bar us our rights. No wonder Americans so loathe their own government.”
Brilliant, indeed.

OK, ok, everyone has a bit of a meltdown now and then, and Tom Bower is no exception I suppose. He lost his cool with some officious court officials, but it never came to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6VIo6_0l....
Even when the wrong person says the right thing, it's still the right thing. Like this quote from Bower:
"The key fact is that Conrad Black owned only 16 per cent of Hollinger yet took over 90 per cent of its net income and spent it on his own lifestyle. That is what provoked the shareholders revolt and this prosecution.
"The Americans are brilliant. They bring these white collar criminals to book whereas in England he would have got away with it. Conrad Black chose the wrong place to perpetrate his crimes."
What I've been saying all along. His Lardship is so full of his own cleverness, but committed a really stupid mistake when he stole from the RICH in the USA.
Fintan March 4, 2008 at 11:33 a.m.
Ha, ha! He just couldn't resist one last chance to "pull a fast one" http://www.torontosun.com/News/World/200...
A couple of days ago, his chief apologist leaf assured us that all would be perfect for His Lardship inside. His lawyers would sort it all with the head of the criminal hierarchy inside the prison and His Lardship would be as cushy as Napoleon was on Elba ...
Poor misled girl, see:
"The prison website has a help-wanted ad stating an "urgent" need for correctional officers "to fill vacant positions." That need may be related to charges filed in January against nine employees for trafficking in contraband. The employees each stand accused of accepting $20,000 bribes for supplying inmates with forbidden items such as cigarettes, cellphones, drugs and, in one instance, a knife."
For people like His Lardship, karma never closes one door without shutting another.
charley March 4, 2008 at 11:38 a.m.
I'm confused by CB's explanation of obstruction charge. He first tells us the boxes he took contained "nothing relevant to the case the SEC did not already possess.." Then he proceeds to say "he didn't select the contents", "knew nothing about the contents..", "did not look at them when at his home." How then did he have a clue what was in them?Also by referring to the SEC's "case" is he not admitting he was aware of same? The argument I've heard several times that his lawyers knew but failed to tell him of not tampering with possible evidence is risible. When you have a lawyer act for you he is considered to be your agent and official communications to him are the same as to you. If he is tardy passing info on to you, get a new lawyer...
tombower March 4, 2008 at 11:43 a.m.
Douglas Bell is a fantascist. I was asked to leave the courtroom in Chicago once by a prejudical attendant on trumped up charges that I was speaking. I did not say a word in response. Not a single word. I just got up and left. The supposed speech cited by Bell is a complete fabrication from beginning to end. A bit like Conrad's last article for the National Post justifying his conduct and pleading his innocence.
Pen1 March 4, 2008 at 11:52 a.m.
The key fact is that Conrad Black owned only 16 per cent of Hollinger yet took over 90 per cent of its net income and spent it on his own lifestyle. Bower
This is what Bower can now get away saying at will since Conrad has been sent to Prison. He grafted this from the pages of the Breeden report, this would have to be true if there was a $400mm kleptocracy, Breeden took $300mm from Hollinger without shareholder approval. He had to bury Black in prison or he would be ordered to answer for it in civil court. That's the motive in this crime.
If Black had descent Lawyers they would have clarified everything and explained every transaction in painstaking fashion, instead he had a duo who took it upon themselves to murky the waters becasue they are used to murder trials where that is the way to raise resonable doubt neither had ever tried a corporate case.
The non competes were 2% of the deals per the contracts and board approval, even this jury did not coroberate in their verdict the claim that of Breeden tht Bower parrots re the 90% of net income being taken by Black or the $400mm kleptocracy, never in his life was Black worth $400mm and that's entire net worth never mind cash. in fact the prosecutors did not coroberate this $400mm figure either as even their original endictment didn't reflect anything near that amount closer to $60mm of which $54mm Black was acquitted of.

Cosmo March 4, 2008 at 12:14 p.m.
in reply to John Bell, I understand "prejudicial attendant" to mean an attendant who fails to act in the unprejudicial or even-handed way that people like Mr. Bower, as Europeans, tend to expect of public servants.
Mr. Bower, it is a pleasure to meet you online. I immensely enjoyed your book about Lord and Lady Black. Thank you!
Pen1 March 4, 2008 at 12:22 p.m.
Cosmo,
When you mix 60% truth with 40% fiction it is called Gonzo journalism, I believe orginally employed by Hunter S. Thompson in the 60's or 70's, that's what he is going for and I'm sure meant to be enjoyed.
I suppose I'm "prejudical" for pointing this out, or for pointing out that Bower's lack of a chin and unsavory appearance may possibly reflect why his journalism is equally unsavory, its strange, people who build their entire career on kicking people when they are at their most vulnerable.
Cosmo March 4, 2008 at 12:28 p.m.
Cory Privytera: I loved "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - a savage journey to the heart of the American dream." Recommend you read it. When you mix 60% partial-truths with 40% more-or-less fiction, what do you get? - The National Post!

LOL Casey. As you can see my new name has finally kicked in.
I have yet to read Bower's book but I intend to when someone else I know finishes reading it as I hate spending money on things like books when I know they float around for free.
I do want to read George Tomb's book on Black and have heard him speak about his book several times on the CBC. I might break down and go buy it.
The wonderful thing about our second names kicking in is to see that lit was posing as Dashwood. LOL As for myself I indicated that I wanted to change my name, I wanted my real name.

Mr Bower told BBC's Newsnight: "This stuff about him being delusional is a smokescreen - he was just a common confidence trickster who came unstuck. He will be pursued by creditors for years to come so he not only has a prison sentence; he also faces financial ruin." - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jht...
Tom Bower has it right and says it so well - the pathetic felon, CB, is completely transparent and his boastful pontificating is not lost on Bower or myself - my advice to Black would be to keep a low profile in the slammer and button up that facial trapdoor that consistently enables the loser Lord to haul off on his usual verbal " runs ".

Fintan March 4, 2008 at 1:31 p.m.
Cory, your post @ 1.16 contains a threat. To which I say only, as I also told His Lardship in my e-mail to him: bring it on!
You also insult the police force of Finland, which is certainly one of the least corrupt and most professional anywhere on the planet. Neither I nor anyone else in this country is, as you put it, "ingratiated with them" to the point where they would neglect their duty to act if they had evidence of a crime, especially of the kind of crime of which leaf has accused me. No one is above the law in Finland
You should also be aware that you are, in fact, implicating His Lardship in another serious crime. If threats of violence, either implicit or overt, continue to be made against me, what you have written will remain on the server even if your latest post is deleted. And do you really want His Lardship to have even more legal woes than he already has?
So now put up or shut up!

lol Cory plays the Bernardo card! Such drama from the cheer leaders of white collar crooks!
The irony about minimum security is that it's only a prison classification and if any of you think for one minute that every prisoner in minimum security is only a "soft" criminal type you're wrong. Many people slip through the cracks, hell me thinks Blackula has been a crook for years but was able to dodge the bullet due to position and good lawyers. Yes, there will be some pieces of work found in that place they are calling "minimum security" but I think Conrad Black is a criminal thinker so he will fit right in.
One question to Blackula if I could ask it, "hows your day going so far?"

It's my day off so between house work and other such chores this is interesting reading for me and it's telling to read the views of ordinary people from varied backgrounds on this topic.

Below is what you are referring to, if it's too hard to understand I will offer my translation, regulators had rummaged through 10 Toronto St. for 2 years prior to Black's eviction, they had access to every document in the office and had made copies of all of them. There was no court order prohibiting Black from removing his items, however he should have known not to move them and when he moved them there was a camera that recorded this. please re-read below:
On obstruction of justice, it was in evidence that I completely complied with all document requests, that the boxes being moved as I vacated my office of 27 years contained nothing relevant to the case the SEC did not already possess. I had no knowledge of any further curiosity of theirs, nothing to do with selecting the contents of the boxes and knew nothing about their contents, and did not look at the boxes on the weekend they were in my home. - CMB

Must have been terrible to witness, and you must have felt terrible. But he did it to you through his stupidity and crimes. - Fintan
how powerless are you going to fell when Black comes out unmolested, the belle of the ball, the man every one wants over for dinner to here his stories about how he survived the hoosegow. Black is an Icon of Canada and will always be a greater man than you fickton.

simply confirming that fickton posted his correct phone # in his 3:50pm post.
is he now going to cry to TL because he ITSE posted his own phone # on the blog for the 3rd time?
i love this blog!

if a comment is removed (but still on the server), can charges be brought against its author if no one can see it?
what will the competent finnish police respond to that existential question?
any idea, einstein?
Fintan March 4, 2008 at 4:18 p.m.
leaf. dearie, in answer to your question, that's for us to worry about. What if it's the dreaded American authorities that are involved - you know, the ones who railroaded your white-as-the-driven-snow "Canadian icon" who did only good his whole life - and there's a bit more "prosecutorial overreach"? I'm sure they'll find some way. ROFLMAO, loser!

imagine: a country where police investigates crank calls and deleted posts in internet blogs.
are you for real fickton?
how stupid exactly do you think everyone is here?
you're in trouble and you know it. the process has started and i will pursue it till i'm satisfied that justice has been rendered in the ITSE pedophilia case.
your words on this blog will come back to haunt you. and for more than 6.5 years too, trust me on that.
Fintan March 4, 2008 at 4:38 p.m.
Posts can be deleted, but one thing hasn't changed: His Lardship is where he belongs. He is now 2 hours and 36 minutes into his second day in the hoosegow. And it won't be any nicer than yesterday. All that poor leafie and her alter ego huff and puff means only one thing: they are as powerless and impotent as he is. Karma be praised
Fintan March 4, 2008 at 4:41 p.m.
I think the leaf post @ 4.30 p.m. will soon be deleted, but I'm having a good laugh at it while it's still there. I bet His Lardship never thought he'd be caught, either. ROFLMAO

The reason this would never happen is because you're in Finland and there's probably limited US authorities who could locate finland on the map let alone follow up with a report of your contact info being posted on a blog in Canada. you really must be joking at this point.
repeated for effect:

yes, on your behalf ROFLMAO
leaf March 4, 2008 at 4:46 p.m.
that floor of yours must be damn comfortable for you to be rolling your fukcing ass on it all the time.
next time, open the door and keep rolling that fat ass of yours, all the way to sea.
a little cleansing will do you good.
Fintan March 4, 2008 at 4:55 p.m.
leaf, dearie, you're really getting your identities mixed up now. One minute it's cory, the next leaf. LOL
I know yesterday must have been terrible for you. A Canadian icon who thought he was above the law - actually above everything - is now doing jankers (old British Army term) duty in an American prison. But why are you so angry with me? I only tried to bring some extra comedy into one of the funniest tragicomic events in recent years.
As for the US authorities and their supposed dumbness, perhaps even they could understand something if it's explained properly. Mr. Fitzgerald wasn't so dumb, was he? The Americans even have an Embassy here in Helsinki, so Washington has heard of us. ROFLMAO at your innocence. Poor girl!

An oldie but a goodie:

Justin Raimondo, November 25, 2005
"The indictment of Lord Conrad Black: Just like Santa and his elves this holiday season, Fitzgerald is busy, busy, busy, and he's come down with yet another indictment of a prominent neocon: press magnate Conrad Black, whose company, Hollinger, at one time owned the Chicago Sun-Times, the Jerusalem Post, the Daily Telegraph, and 60 percent of Canada's dailies. The charge: stealing $58.1 million from investors.
It is a well-deserved comeuppance. While the pro-war Hollinger newspaper chain achieved new heights of reportorial mendacity in the run-up to and aftermath of the Iraq war – feeding the public a steady diet of lies, libels, and outright fabrications – Black, and his wife, columnist Barbara Amiel, climbed to new heights of ostentatious vulgarity, pouring millions into such necessities of life as mansions in Toronto, London, and Palm Beach, Fla., as well as a luxurious Manhattan condo...
The massive theft, which I wrote about here, epitomizes the operating strategy of the neoconservative gang that Black did so much to promote and propagandize for: like Richard Perle, another Hollinger executive who pillaged the company, Black fattened his bank balance even as the public purse was drained on the War Party's behalf."
Fintan March 4, 2008 at 5:05 p.m.
oh leafie, I love it when you talk dirty! Like this: "next time, open the door and keep rolling that fat ass of yours, all the way to sea."
Actually, no part of me is fat, I'm not even pudgy like your master's fingers. And, although I would never say it myself, It's been said to me that that I'm quite callipygic. We have a lot of feminists here, thank karma. Naturally, I blushed like hell. ROFLMCFAO
Yes, my floor is very comfortable. We have very high housing standards here in Finland. Maybe that's why, unlike your lord and master, I have avoided committing crimes. This is no mansion, but it's a damn sight better than Coleman Institution for the Morally and Ethically Challenged. And I don't want to go to a place where I'm not at liberty to ROFLMAO!!!!
leaf March 4, 2008 at 5:09 p.m.
by the way cory, thanks for confirming that the email was from you.
i'll now send you his phone # just in case you didn't have time to copy it.
do give him a call. the idiot thinks we're the same person.
he wishes...

this blog is, at present, worse than the old one: one foaming nutbar there--leaf, plus fintan who unwisely responded to her and gave out personal info as well. This blog has 2 foaming nutbars: cory, and leaf, and fintan responding to them, and cory and leaf chatting to each other.
Why don't the three of you get a room?
Fintan March 4, 2008 at 5:48 p.m.
Actually, gravitylevity, there are only two of us, The other is a multiple personality. When I posted a phone number that I only use for certain purposes, and long before leaf appeared, I took a measured risk, one that I can easily handle. I knew what I was doing. Get it? LOL
If you saw the posts that have been deleted, you would easily understand.
Now go onto the new thread and you will see that I can comment on a lot of other things besides leaf.
And I will stop commenting when news of His Lardship slows to a trickle and then peters out. Threats to reveal my name, address and so on and have who knows what happen to me will not deter me. Quite the contrary.

Fintan is not really the problem here although if he stopped engaging the two posters, leaf and Cory_Privatera, it would sure help. The problem is that the TL STAFF NEED to BAN leaf and Cory_Privatera and their IP addresses and in so doing, the blog would return to normalcy. Obviously, TL cannot or will not ban these 2 users so this blog suffers.
