Dear Readers and Fellow-Apes; 2008 was a Murky and Hapless Year! Let us hope that 2009 does not turn out to be even More Murky and Hapless!
I intentionally did not wish you a Merry Christmas, because Christmas is another story for another Posting at another time; and I do not wish you a Happy New Year, since I believe that ONLY FOOLS ARE, OR CAN BE, HAPPY ALL YEAR ROUND. I do, however, wish all of you A GOOD YEAR! With a little Good in one's life, one can be a little happy, which is all one can ask for in one's short sweet dream one calls a life-time. BY GOD AND SATAN!
A Jack of many trades and master of all; I am honest to the core and I hate lies, deceits, pretensions, hypocrisy, treachery, betrayal, and stoic compliance; and I despise – and actually pity – Human-Apes who follow-the-herd-or-pack
I expose and reveal the lies, deceits, pretensions, hypocrisy, treachery, betrayal, and blind, deaf, and stoic compliance, and Human-Apes who follow-the-herd-or-pack; I tell or write the truth; and I say what I mean and mean what I sayI fear nothing; least of all, death
If I must fear anything at all in life, then let me fear what I think and know of myself; because, in the end, one’s knowledge and opinion of oneself is what counts most. All the world may think and believe one is such and such, but one knows one is such and such. Also, I like to look in the mirror and like what I see and know about me.
I invite comments, remarks, criticisms, and even insults – so long as they are straight to the point, in order for me to correct or adjust myself accordingly. What I do not welcome and won’t accept or tolerate is HORSE-SHIT!
Dear readers and felow-Apes; with every page, every report or article, every paragraph, every sentence, every word, and every letter; I thank you for taking the trouble and the time to read My Not-So-Humble Comments.
THE SUZANNE TAMIM STORY – Another Princess Diana She Was Not, BUT…
Gleaned from various sources, with my comments inserted or included or added; those of you out there – my dear readers and fellow-Apes – who know me well, will know which were gleaned and which are mine. To the others – my fellow-Apes only – I say: Use your brain, (IF) you’ve got one! BY GOD!
Suzanne Tamim: Arabic: (23 Sept.1977 - 28 July 2008) تميم سوز was a Lebanese singer and actress, who rose to fame in the Arab world after she had won the top prize in the popular Lebanese Studio El Fan or the Art Studio TV show in 1996. She was found dead, allegedly murdered, in a posh apartment at the Dubai Marina.
After winning the Gold Medal on Studio El Fan, she was a hailed both for her beauty and her talents – a voice that was equally suited to pop tunes and classical Arabic melodies. She had several hit-singles early in her career. She had released two albums and was considered a rising star among the new generation of Lebanese pop singers. Her last album was produced by production giant Alam ElPhan in 2002. Her last song, Lovers, recorded in 2006, was dedicated to the memory of the late, lamented, and beloved Lebanese Prime Minister, Rafiq Hariri.
She became famous, but her career was marred by stories about a troubled private life. Soon afterwards, news of her divorce from her first husband Ali Muzannar flooded the media. She later married Lebanese impresario and producer, Adel Matouk, who became her manager.
The couple had met in Paris and gotten married about six years before. However, problems erupted less than eight months later when her husband asked her to stop singing and become a housewife, which she refused. Some women – and men, too, for that matter – do not know the true meanings of marriage and married on the one hand, and single – bachelor or spinster – on the other; Suzanne wanted to straddle her life with one foot on one, and the other foot on the other. I ASK YOU!
It reminds me of that Ass-hole Maronite Moron Patriarch, Nesrallah Boutros Sfeir, who had, and still has, one foot and hand in the Horse-shit of Religion, and the other foot and hand in the Horse-shit of Politics.
Immediately after they’d gotten divorced, she was thought to have fled from her home in Beirut to Egypt to escape from her estranged, and later divorced, husband and manager – after he had filed a series of lawsuits against her, including embezzlement, fraud, slander, libel, and theft: $350,000 from his safe – he also accused her of trying to murder him, after he had come under fire while driving his car in Lebanon in 2004.
Even prior to her marriages and divorces, Suzanne was known to have had problems and troubles with her father; and she had gone into hiding several times for several months for unexplained reasons – she had spent much of her short life between courts, police stations, and hideouts.
Reports said she left the stage – so to speak – and disappeared from public view in Cairo in 2007 and was thought to be living in Dubai's exclusive Jumeirah district.
Her mutilated body was found in her posh apartment – #2204 – at the Jumeirah Beach Residence towers – Tower 1, 22nd floor – at the Dubai Marina late on Monday night.
The Dubai Police had been approached by concerned family members, relatives, and friends.
According to the Media, Suzanne’s father Abdul Sattar Tamim talked to a TV Channel on 31st July about his suspicions regarding her murder; during an interview on the telephone, he told them that he knew who had been threatening her. He added that he had documents and information that would prove that his suspicions were justified. He also said that he would be in Dubai shortly to help the police with the murder investigation.
CAIRO, 10th August 2008: Meanwhile, since then, a 39-year-old Egyptian was arrested a few days ago through Interpol in connection with her gruesome murder.
The Deputy Chief of the Dubai police would not identify the man they had in custody – in Egypt – but said that the man had posed as an estate agent to gain access to Suzanne’s flat. The suspect left the UAE 90 minutes after the murder, but the police tracked him down with the help of evidence collected at the scene. It was clear that the motive behind the crime was pure revenge, from the way the murder was carried out, and that, contrary to media reports, Suzanne did not go out with friends the night before the murder took place. Police records also showed that Suzanne had flown from London to Dubai ten days before the murder took place and that the suspect arrived in Dubai eight days later.
While the suspect’s face was unclear in the tower’s CCTV videos, footages showed a man holding an envelope with the logo of the real estate company that brokered the sale of Suzanne’s JBR flat. The flat was in Suzanne’s name but Egyptian media reported that an Egyptian businessman had paid for it.
The suspect had on two layers of clothes when he carried out the grisly murder. The suspect dumped the clothes he had on, on top, during the crime into the fire safety box on the 21st floor before leaving the building. He then proceeded to Dubai Airport and fled the country on a flight at 10.30am – airline unidentified.
The police control room received a call at 8.15pm on Monday 28th July from Suzanne’s cousin, a Lebanese, who had found her dead body. He had called her several times but got no response so he went to her flat to check on her and discovered her body just behind the main entrance door with multiple stab wounds, her throat slit, and her face mutilated beyond recognition.
On the day of the murder, Suzanne was supposed to show up for driving lessons at 9am, and she had booked a taxi by phone, and Dubai Taxi records showed a taxi driver came to the JBR Rimal Tower 1, called Suzanne repeatedly on the inter-phone and left when there was no reply
THE EGYPTIAN CONNECTION: Egyptian Media have reported that Suzanne’s death was the handiwork of an Egyptian businessman. Following the arrest and confession of the alleged murderer-for-hire – an assassin – Arab Media claimed to have identified a real estate magnate as the brain behind the brew, or the grime behind the crime, or the crank behind the shank. Egyptian Media reports quoted Egyptian police sources who said the suspect had admitted working for the Egyptian’s company and that he had pushed him to kill Suzanne in Dubai. Police questioned the Egyptian in connection with her murder, but he denied the accusation.
TIME-TABLE: 26th July: The Egyptian suspect arrived in Dubai and stayed in a hotel. 28th July: He entered the building just before 9am and went to apartment 2204 with a knife. The CCTV footage showed him holding an envelope in front of the door’s peep hole. 28th July: She was found dead by her cousin at 8.15pm.
CAIRO, 13th August 2008: Egypt's Chief Prosecutor imposed a ban without explanations on Friday 8th August on news coverage of the brutal slaying of the Lebanese pop star following Media reports that said that a wealthy Egyptian businessman had ordered the murder of 31-year-old Suzanne Tamim – which had been a top story in the Arab Media.
The editor of an Egyptian independent newspaper was questioned by prosecutors on 12th August for violating the ban with a Sunday 9th August edition story on Suzanne's death, and barred distribution of the edition but the article remained on the paper's Website.
The front-page article in one of the papers quoted unidentified sources as saying a former Egyptian police officer and two hotel security men from Cairo had confessed to killing Suzanne on behalf of a wealthy Egyptian businessman – who was not identified. Some copies of the edition appeared on the stands late Saturday before distribution was stopped.
Other newspapers and media outside Egypt also reported the same allegations about the confessions, but that newspaper was the first within Egypt to do so.
The executive editor of the newspaper said prosecutors had questioned him on suspicion of violating the ban and had ordered two journalists from the paper to report to authorities for questioning. It was not clear whether any would face charges.
Other Egyptian papers reported on the ban and complained that that the government was trying to prevent the implication of any prominent figures. Businessmen have taken on an increasingly large role in the government and ruling party over the last 10 years.
A columnist wrote: Big-Businessmen have become immune. The regime gets them out of disastrous situations and protects and white-washes them.
Pure intimidation and suppression of the press in its most polluted form
Another Princess Diana she was not! Diana wanted to be a Princess and a Peasant – all at the same time. She straddled her life with one foot on royalty and the other foot on peasantry and these two statuses are too far apart, so she toppled and fell – to rise no more. What really pissed me off – and a lot of other Apes out there, I’m sure – was……she died trying to avoid or escape from the very Media that got her into the limelight and made her famous and loved by hundreds of millions all over the world.
I don’t like the Media – just as I don’t like Vultures, I suppose – but Vultures are useful creatures. They are nature’s foremost sanitary agents – without them, there would be too many rotten corpses that would cause too many diseases – and they are always looking out for and hungry for carcasses of whatever kinds – to fill their bellies. Likewise, the Media are a useful medium – without them, there would be too many unheard of events and incidents – and they are always looking out for and hungry for news of whatever kinds – to fill their pages and air-space.
I believe Suzanne Tamim got exactly what she deserved – plus generous interest.
She had problems and troubles with three men for Horse-shit sake: her father, her first husband, and her second husband. And I am quite sure that all the problems and troubles were because of (other) men, and her attitude towards, and her approach to, life and those around and close to her.
If that Egyptian Big-Businessman was the man behind the knife, then she must have goaded him and pissed him off beyond forbearance and endurance, and beyond pardon, too, for him to have such a magnificent creature killed.
By the looks of her, she was quite beautiful and well-endowed, and she probably thought she could use the equipment, tools, and accessories nature gave her to milk some men of their money and their emotions and then VAMOS. Well, someone should have told her that once upon a time, there were MAFIAS mainly only in Sicily and Italy; then, in another once upon a time, most of them moved to Chicago and other States in the US of A; but today, there are MAFIAS all over the world, and some Capos just won’t let go or let it go. What a waste, and what a pity – all that soft succulent flesh now food for the worms! BY GOD AGAIN!
Dear Klaudija

Thank you

Dear Klaudija
I tried, but I couldn't find it
Probably because it wasn't popular
Or perhaps she never released a First Album
They do it with books, too, to boost sales
Once again, forgive me

Sam | 05/10/2008, 13:12
A STUPID article!? And YOU call ME an idiot!!
BY GOD!
I shall not lower myself to your level by calling you names.
If she were my sister or my late beloved Mama, it would make no difference to me. I say the truth and expose the liars, cheats, pretenders, and hypocrites – whoever and wherever they are. I say what I mean and mean what I say.
The first man she had trouble with was her father. Is he a bastard, too?
And her first husband; was he a bastard, too?
So all the men in her short shabby life were bastards!? How naïve can you be!
Susan straddled her life with one foot in the Horse-shit of marriage and the other in the Horse-shit of show-biz.
You say God is up there and may He rest her soul in peace. You must still believe in Santa Claus, too; and Fairies and Leprechauns and Heaven and Hell. You will grow up some day and know better, if you live long enough! BY GOD AGAIN!
To me, both Heaven and Hell begin with a Capital “H” and so does Horse-shit!
To me God and Satan are partners in crime. If there is no Satan, who needs God; and if there is no God, who needs Satan; they are like policemen and security forces on the one hand, and thieves, crooks, and criminals on the other hand; they complement and complete each other; not all of us are Etc and so forth and so on.
Susan got what she deserved, plus generous interest, and by now the worms have already finished with her and are calling out: Next please!
Daniel in The Lion's Den | 05/10/2008, 17:11
You have this crazy claim to speak the truth, rather your are spewing pure opinion.. be honest with yourself, this article is nowhere near objective.
Andreea | 20/10/2008, 22:45
My not dear Andreea
First, your name is spelt Andréa
Second, it’s “you’re spewing” and not “your spewing”
Third, “Pure Opinion” means “the exact truth/facts” as one sees it; just as you expressed your “not-so-pure opinion” in “not-so-good English” and in a “not-so-good manner”
Fourth, you and Sam must be related to Susan Tamim – I had a dog named “Sam” once, when I was very young (no offence meant unless taken). Sam called me “stupid” and you blab gibberish, but neither of you gave any facts or information to support your vicious vain vomit-views.
Fifth, to prove that my article was highly objective – too objective, in fact – and the stark naked truth:
1: It appeared on Google.com
2: Nothing was done and nothing has been heard of Susan’s death
3: Nothing will be done or heard of her any more, because
4: Any investigations and delving into her death will reveal and expose even darker and sinister aspects of her life, which I decided to leave out of my article – out of respect, not for the dead but, for her father and not a few others.
5: Out there, in the cities, towns, and villages in every country, others are the law; in here, on my Blog, it’s ME! I am the law! Let it go! Let it go! Don’t push it! Don’t push it, or I’ll give you a war you wouldn’t believe!
That last part #5 was borrowed from Rambo’s warning to the shit-head sheriff in FIRST BLOOD – adjusted to fit.
Susan straddled her short shaky shabby life with one foot in the Horse-shit of marriage and the other foot in the Horse-shit of show-biz – and both hands in not a few others……
“Sabah” is almost 150 years old; “Fairuz” and “Warda” aren’t much younger and “Wadih Safi” is as old as the hills, but they are still around. There are a lot of Lebanese “women-singers” who are much more beautiful than Susan was, with sweeter voices and better and much more popular songs, and they are still around.
BY GOD AND SATAN!

i want to see suzanne tamim in her appartement when she founded died......thank u
AYA MORTADA | 17/11/2008, 14:13
Dear Aya Mortada
I apologise for the delay in replying to your request.
Actually, I was searching for a picture of the crime scene, and I did my utmost best to locate at least one, but to no avail.
I strongly doubt whether there are any available to me or anyone else.
I also strongly suspect that the only picture(s) available are with Suzanne’s cousin, who found her dead body, but whose name was not mentioned in the reports – well, that is if he had the nerve and the presence of mind to take some pictures with his cell-phone, and whether the Dubai police did not search him when they arrived on the scene (he could not leave the scene after calling the police) and either seized them or deleted them; or even confiscated his cell-phone, upon request by the Egyptian police.
Once again, dear Aya, I apologise – although it is not my fault
Semper fideles et semper vigilantes

Daniel in The Lion's Den | 19/11/2008, 08:23
i know this is a harsh request, but my friends told me about her picture when she was dead..can anyone give me a link to it?
Rawan | 29/11/2008, 19:45
Dear Rawan
Your friends told you?
Why don't they tell you where they saw her picture and/or give you the link to it?
Know your enemies and beware of your friends
Daniel
Daniel in The Lion’s Den | 30/11/2008, 04:31
sorry to write my opinion..but why are you so angry with Suzan?? did she do any harm to you??..just a simple question... please do not send Satan to me... :P
But I feel in your words lotssss of anger against Suzan....
I did not know her, but it shocked me when I read your words ....
sarah | 08/12/2008, 03:49
Dear Sarah
First, I cannot send Satan to you or anyone else, because both Satan and God do not exist. Also, to me, both Heaven and Hell begin with a capital ’H’ and so does Horse-shit
Both God and Satan were invented or created by Human-Apes in order to have a reason and an excuse, or to have One or Both of them to blame, for what Human-Apes do; and both Heaven and Hell were invented or created by Human-Apes in order to cajole and/or threaten other Human-Apes
Second, I did not hate Susan; I did not love her, either. It is quite clear that those that loved her before hated her later. You read only the comments and arrived at that supposition or conclusion. Read the whole article or report again
Third, I find and write the truth whenever and wherever it is muffled or camouflaged, and I extract and expose the lies whenever and wherever they are hidden or dressed up to look like something else
Fourth, don’t carp on my posting on Susan. Read my other postings; then you will know and understand what my Blog is all about. There are 463 postings on several subjects and news and other reports
Fifth, thank you for taking the trouble and the time, not to read the article or report well or to read some or most of my postings in order for you to understand, but to comment or give your opinion on only the comments on Susan Tamim
Poor Susan – No! It’s true, but I do not feel sorry or anger for anyone or anything – she lived three separate lives and played games in which she did not know what the stakes were – or perhaps she knew, but she thought she could handle them
Semper Fideles
