============================================

You know the fixers are already hard at work here, right? It’s big news now.

Top of the page, Ma!!! Top of the page!!!

Hottest thing ever!!! (Mid-April, 2012, U.S.A., anyway.) Bet on it.

So…let’s look a little deeper into the game, shall we?

Oui asks in a comment on her fine piece Click Orlando: New Twist in Case Trayvon Martin:

Who is Mark O’Mara?

Yeah.

Who is he, really?

We know that he is the “new” lawyer for George Zimmerman.

We know what he looks like and that he is a fairly prominent Florida lawyer but not nationally famous. Not yet, anyway.

As I said…let’s look deeper, shall we?

Read on for some further spelunking into this nasty little cave.

Read on.

Yeah. Who is this guy?

He’s fairly tall, fairly thin, seems to have all of his own hair and is fairly successful. That’s about it. That’s all we really know. Oh…and we know that he’s articulate enough to be a local media commentator, which often isn’t saying much but in this case is probably quite important.

Hmmmm…we ain’t gonna find out much more, either. Not without some digging. Bet on it. Not from him and not from the media either. Not in any kind of direct manner, for sure. So let’s examine what he has done here instead of what might or might not make him tick.

The first things that he has done…besides using his position as a fairly well known local media legal commentator to publicly put down Zimmerman’s previous lawyers before he was announced as being on the case…have been to try to shut down media examination of the proceedings as far as possible and to predict that the case will not likely start until 2013.

Now…I am not saying that he has done anything “wrong” in a legal sense, because I am neither a lawyer nor do I have any particular faith in the legal system of this country, which is subject to such powerful forces by professional manipulators of all stripes that “justice” is not only blindfolded but also fairly well deaf-and-dumbed down as well.

However…I would love to have the tapes of his last week or so of phone calls, his emails and say a few recordings of his conversations with “people of interest” in this case. (Things that are no doubt existent, at least in some set of digital cubbyholes belonging to the surveillance state that is hovering over this whole clusterfuck in an attempt to stop it from getting even more complicated than it has already become.)

Not that we will ever see such things. However, isn’t it convenient that the date “2013” postdates any effect that this tempest-in-a-big-teapot might have on the coming pestilential…errr, ahhh, presidential…(s)election? And equally “convenient” that the Florida courts have so well and so promptly complied with his attempt to muzzle information that might act in any way inflammatory to the various groups of pig-stickers…those who like to knife the pig from the right and also those who prefer to stick their pigs from the left…who are presently wailing away about whatever version of blinded justice in which they believe with all of their media-driven hearts and what is left of their already bought-and-sold minds and souls.

We do know that he was ostensibly “recommended” by a truly big-money lawyer who works for people as rich and famous as Tiger Woods, Mark NeJame. He said (I quote the Wall Steet Journal here with some trepidation, seeing as how it is the Murdoch empire’s grammatically correct version of the NY Post. But quote I must and quote I will.):

…[NeJame] was asked to represent George Zimmerman about a month ago, but he declined to take the case because of time constraints.

On Wednesday, Zimmerman’s lawyers Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig announced they were stepping down, saying at a news conference that they haven’t heard from their client and that “has gone out on his own” without consulting them.

Afterward, NeJame said, he was again approached by a representative for Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. NeJame again declined, but he suggested five lawyers, including O’Mara, who was hired.

“On the top of my list was Mark O’Mara, who I like as a person, is a friend, and who I respect tremendously,” NeJeme said, noting that he had a waiver from Zimmerman to discuss the case.

Now…we are obviously already in the big leagues here. Run-of-the-mill lawyers…like the ones who were first on the Zimmerman side of the case…are probably too expensive for someone in Zimmerman’s working class/middle class pay bracket, but these guys!!!??? HOO boy!!! Now maybe his judge daddy is footing the bills, but still…when did his father last win a Master’s Tournment or otherwise become a multi-millionaire?

Naaaaahhhhh…the big (and generous) hand of the PermaGov is already so evidently involved in this case that it is beyond denial, although deny it they will right up until the well-fixed end.

Note well the phrases above, please – “…was asked to represent George Zimmerman about a month ago…”, “Afterward [after the previous lawyers “quit”], NeJame said, he was again approached by a representative for Zimmerman…” and “…he [has] a waiver from Zimmerman to discuss the case.”

Hmmm…

Interesting timing, no? “About a month ago…” Let’s say mid-March. Lemme see…what was happening in this case in mid-March?

This was happening, according to CBS. (And we all trust CBS, right? Riiiight…):

March 9, 2012 – Attorney Benjamin Crump tells the Miami Herald he has filed a suit on behalf of Trayvon Martin’s parents to get public records in the case. Crump is best known for his work on the case of Martin Anderson, a black Florida teen who died after being beaten by guards at a boot-camp style detention camp in 2006.

March 15, 2012 – George Zimmerman’s father, Robert Zimmerman, delivers a letter to the Orlando Sentinel. The letter reads, in part: “At no time did George follow or confront Mr. Martin. When the true details of the event become public, and I hope that will be soon, everyone should be outraged by the treatment of George Zimmerman in the media.”

Robert Zimmerman’s letter addresses the race issue. Up until this time, media had been referring to Zimmerman as white, but his father says he is Hispanic.

March 13-15, 2012 – The story goes national. The Atlantic, Crimesider, the Huffington Post, and the New York Times all run stories on the case. Cable news stations and morning news shows interview Crump and Martin’s parents.

So basically within a day or two of the story going national, this guy “J’Accuse” or whatever his stage name is was “approached” by an unnamed representative of this nightwatchman-level worker who thought that he might have enough money to hire Mr. JeName…errr, NeJame.

Apparently he didn’t, or said big-time lawyer would have taken the case. Or of course, he thought it either unwinnable and/or potentially unprofitable on some level(s). Or, he stayed “involved” but only in some sort of advisory role.

And the game continued.

Were the lawyers that quit straw men, set up to take a fall? They sure acted strange, didn’t they? Maybe just incompetent. Or…maybe not.

Has O’Mara been waiting in the wings for the next act to begin? Could be. But one thing seems quite sure to me. Big strings are being pulled, and they will continue to be pulled.

Watch.

You wanna know how the elections work?

Watch.

As above, so below. The fix is always in if the result really matters to the PermaGov.

Always.

Watch.

Look, listen, think and learn.

It’s right there in front of your face just so long as that face is not buried in the hypnomedia.

Watch. But only out of the sides of your eyes.

Hypnotists always have to stand right in front of you.

Bet on it.

Later…
