Claire O'Brien: Kicked off of a messageboard for posting kiddie porn

Claire O'Brien, who seems to think that laws and mores don't apply to her, posted a child porn picture on the fuckedforum.com board and has been permanently banned on Sunday, June fifteenth.

The picture that she posted was a photoshopped picture of fuckedforum poster James Harvey Marks III and his girlfriend's son. James Marks, a 52 year old art history major who lives in Humboldt County and who posts as James, MovieWhore, Hello, Fixed, Greasy Grass, Modern Christian and dozens of other monickers (his spelling), is a well-known troll and stalker from the old fuckedcompany.com days. He's as well known on the boards for his stalking and threats against other users as he is for fathering a bastard son with a girl 29 years younger than him while he was on probation for not paying child support to his third wife for their daughter (who he refers to as Demon Spawn). He is still married to that third wife, Adair Hansen Marks, though they've been seperated for many years. Supposedly she refuses to divorce him because she's trying to avoid getting stuck with the many liens and judgements that resulted from his failed photography businesses.

The PhotoShopped picture was made from a picture that was posted on both James and his ex-girlfriend's old blogs. It shows the child playing naked about a foot or so from a lit woodburning stove, with what appear to be newspapers piled underneath it. OK, we're not even going to go into how stupid that is.

Suffice it to say, the picture was later PhotoShopped. A nude, dark-skinned, overweight man with graying body hair was pasted into the picture behind the boy. Use your imagination to fill in the rest of the details if you wish, but let's simply say that it's a disgusting image.

Someone posted a link to a copy of the picture that's sitting on the old fuckedcompany.com imagedump site, which is still in operation even though the fuckedcompany.com board has been closed over two years. That imagedump site is sort of a minature flickr site, where people can post images more or less anonymously.

Claire, for whatever insane reason, downloaded a copy of the picture and uploaded it to the fuckedforum.com imagedump, then posted it with her ValerieSolanas moniker. Naturally, it was quickly deleted by the owner of fuckedforum.com, but here's a screenshot, with the child's face and body and the nudity airbrushed. A full-sized version of the entire page of the message board thread is here.

Though one can never be sure what is going on in Claire O'Brien's head and what possessed her to post the image, she claims that she posted it to get her archenemy Sean Findley and ARSE put in prison. How her posting a disgusting child pornography picture of the son of someone that is supposedly one of her friends on fuckedforum was supposed to get Sean and ARSE put in prison was anyone's guess.

Regardless, every post on the board made by Claire O'Brien under her ValerieSolanas moniker was changed to say the following by the owner of fuckedforum.com:

My name is Claire O’Brien. I live near Cozumel, Mexico. I do SEO optimization for a company named Maximixed Webs. I wrote a book called SQWARK. I have been banned from this site because I posted child pornography (kiddie porn). I am a sick fuck and a drunkard who stalks people on the Internet.

Happy Birthday, Claire!

Claire O'Brien of Playa del Carmen turned 52 today. She spent the day posting on fuckedforum.com as ValerieSolanas about how evil her enemies are and denying that she's actually Claire O'Brien.

Unfortunately, the gentleman who was kind enough to loan Claire fifty dollars when she was homeless (that she later refused to pay back) kind of blew that lie right out of the water. He usually posts as MagBas or some variation on that moniker, but is now posting as Zulu_Dawn.

One of Claire's stalking victims, ARSE, spoke with MagBas/Zulu_Dawn on the phone about Claire, and MagBas/Zulu_Dawn confirmed that the fuckedforum stalker known as ValerieSolanas is indeed Claire O'Brien. In this post, ARSE and MagBas/Zulu_Dawn are discussing their phone conversation.

True, but I did sort of trick you into admitting that Val's name is Claire O'Brien (which she's currently denying) and that she picked up the money you so graciously sent her at a liqour store because she doesn't even have a checking account.

To be more exact, I said something like (this is all approximate)

Me: "So that ungrateful cunt Claire O'Brien took that money from you and never offered to pay you back?"

You: "Yeah, isn't that crazy?"

Me: "Why did you wire it to her? Doesn't she have a checking account?"

You: "No."

So it wasn't like you did anything wrong. You know what I mean?

Better luck next time, Claire.

UH OH! One of Claire's stalker sites was shut down!

It seems that Claire O'Brien went a bit too far and what she refers to on her stalker blog as the "main site", http://vigilante-services.hostsnake.com, was shut down, apparently for a TOS (terms of service) violation.

Well, I'm sure you're all as shocked as I am to hear that. :) This came shortly after the news that she had also lost literally every one of the #1 Google rankings for her stalker blog that she had bragged about only a couple of weeks earlier.

Claire's reaction was pretty much what one could expect.

I'm not about to spend any $ on paid hosting for you crud. You're not worth any more of my time or attention. But be assured I can resurrect your case at any time. At will.

Well, Claire, I don't think that paid or unpaid hosting had much to do with any of it. It was shut down because you made up some insane, slanderous material about people you didn't like and put it on the site along with what you believed to be their names and addresses.

Sigh. Some people's kids.

Claire O'Brien, Internet Detective

Claire, who appears to be enraged by people making fun of her SEO work with her stalking sites, updated her Sean Findley blog by adding what she assumes to be ARSE's name and address. First she repeatedly posted it, urging people to call him and use *96 first. Apparently she thought that *96 blocks caller ID, since after being laughed at about it, she finally figured out that she was telling people to used the wrong code and changed it to *67.

Then she added it to her sites. Here's a screenshot from before the update, made on 05/21/2008:

And here's one made today:
http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/1715/sexualpredatorsinternetxj3.jpg

That's a pretty weird thing to do, considering that Claire is the only person that believes that it's ARSE's name and address. Even Claire's trolling partners on the board doubt it. But, that's what everyone has come to expect from her. She claims that she didn't come up with it herself, but got the information from someone else.

Apparently she got trolled, which is hardly unusual for her.

On a side note, Claire also lost her prized #10 Google search result for "pizza driver stalkers" that she was bragging about a few days ago. That's OK, Claire. I'm sure you'll get it back in no time. Now if you could only get your sanity back...

Incompetent Claire O'Brien brags about Google optimized Stalking

Here is yet another reason that no one should hire Claire O'Brien to do SEO (Search Engine Optimization). In fact, she shouldn't be allowed near a computer at all.

In yet another one of her many fights against her archenemy Sean, she brags about the Google search engine results for her insane stalking sites.

If she wasn't so incompetent, she'd be scary.

It's all about me!! Wrong. It's all about ME.

To begin with, bragging about the search result rankings for a blog and a web site where you're blatantly stalking, slandering, and harrassing people because someone made fun of your self-published book in 2003 is more than a little "out there". But, even worse, she's bragging about search terms that real people probably wouldn't use anyway.

People don't usually search on plural terms like "stalkers" and "predators". They search on singular terms. The average person will look for "internet stalker Cozumel", not "internet stalkers Cozumel". Also, it's rare for someone to search on a full name, unless it's something like "John Fitzgerald Kennedy".

At this time, if you fix the search terms to something a bit more realistic, you get these results.

Who going to google for something like "pizza driver stalker" to begin with? I mean, come ON!

Claire's stalking sites don't appear the first page on Google or Yahoo for any of the singular search terms. It's bad enough that she's using those sites to stalk Sean Findley, but she can't even do that right.

This probably shouldn't have been pointed out to her, since now she knows that she screwed up (again) and will try to "optimize the search results" and she never would have figured it out by herself. But every now and then, you have to take pity on even the most depraved individuals.

Claire O'Brien launches her new site and blog

Claire held the "official launch" of her site and blog on Friday. An anonymous poster started the thread I found Valarie Solanus' hate blog and even though Claire had claimed that she was leaving the messageboard forever and ever on May 14th, she posted the first response within two minutes of start of the thread. What an amazing coincidence that she was there to help.

A few minutes later, after taking a few moments to call a fellow female poster an "attention whoring insect" and a "bold face liar", the URL of the sites she's using to stalk Sean and ARSE were posted.

Reactions to her site were pretty much what could be expected.

Hell, Val, no one could find your SEO OPTIMIZED site so you had to post it yourself.
You couldn't be more transparent if your shopping cart was made of glass.

Is that the quality of Val's webpages she designs? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
How amateur.

FUCKING HELL! She doesn't know that the Golden Gate bridge isn't in Sacramento??????

If there was any doubt before that Val is a crazy old woman, then it's gone now.

Never the less, Claire/Val, who is used to being called crazy, was basking in her assumed victory until the the unthinkable happened. A link to this blog was posted.

Claire quickly went into damage mode.

"Too bad that's not my name, my business name, or location. Other than that -"

Too bad it is, Claire. You seem to forget that you posted your real name and date of birth on writewords.co.uk back when you were spamming the Internet about your SQWARK! book, and that you linked the various sites that you did in Cozumel to your old sqwark.net site with a link saying "Website Optimization by Maximized Webs".

Claire made one last defiant registered post: "You can't lie, bully or intimidate me. That should be clear by now. But it's all you have" before switching to unregged, posting even more inaccurate personal information, and making several death threats.

It really seems that Claire O'Brien / ValerieSolanas keeps missing the point. She's the one that's been lying and trying to bully and intimidate others, and by now it should be clear that it's not going to work.

But when you're really nothing more than a mentally ill, aging semi-homeless stalker living in Mexico, then I guess you take what you can get.

Why would someone call themselves ValerieSolanas?

On Memorial Day weekend in 2000 Phil Kaplan, aka pud, opened the dotcom deadpool site, fuckedcompany.com. The wide-open, anything goes, nature of the messageboard attracted bright and witty people from all over the Internet, posting about everything from politics and business to religion and philosophy. It also attracted a large number of trolls and malcontents.

Claire O'Brien is a member of the latter group. She first appeared on FC in late 2002/early 2003 and posted under the pseudonym "Imagine", claiming to be a journalist and writer originally from New Zealand who was living in Florida and that she owned a consulting business specializing in domain names. Her appallingly bad grammar and spelling immediately caused the other posters on the board to doubt her claim of being a writer, and her profanity-filled rambling posts about the evils of all men and attacks on both male and female posters led them to doubt her sanity, while her homophobic and racist rants caused everyone to doubt her humanity.

Inevitably she was compared to Valerie Solanas, the radical feminist writer and prostitute that shot Andy Warhol. Claire O'Brien, who later uncharacteristically admitted her ignorance by saying that she'd never heard of Valerie Solanas prior to FC, dropped her Imagine moniker and began posting under the name ValerieSolanas.

She's obsessed about and fought with many different posters on the FC board and the spinoff boards that became popular after the FC board closed in 2006, but she's consistently chased a poster by the name of Sean (also known as Sean_in_South_Bay and SISB) around for the last five years. In 2003, she set up a "manhunt" site on Geocities, accusing him of being a molester and offering a reward for his name, address, and phone number.

She recently repeated this crime by setting up a blog titled Sexual Predators & Internet Stalkers in California & Nevada accusing Sean of being a sexual predator and accusing another board poster, a gay man who posts under the name of ARSE, of being in an incestuous relationship with his brother.

Claire O'Brien left the US in 2004 and moved to Cozumel, Mexico. She left Cozumel in 2007 after being homeless for several months. She currently lives in the Playa del Carmen area of Mexico, where she claims to work as a web designer and SEO consultant.
