Oma Hamou The Reality
I don't want to lose the forest for the trees, and so thought to bring up the genuine basic information, which is the subject of this blog. Just FYI, Oma Hamou and pyscho sock-puppet (I read that over in another website and loved how accurate it appears to be) lover Mike Newson have no actual clue who we are as we have not discussed this blog with anyone specifically, their claims otherwise are just whistling in the dark. The one person who knows who we are doesn't even know Oma Hamou or her boyfriend, certainly never communicated with them, and has the opinion of them from reading both this blog and her "attack and libel Bob Atchison to be vindictive" blog, that "they are sociopathic criminals who are nothing and never will be anything more than that." (their words,not necessarily mine). So, nobody who really does know us has communicated with them at all, much less "given them affadavits" (the person who knows us laughed themselves silly when they read that). You can take to the bank that their statements about "knowing for a fact who the author is" of this blog are totally false, totally untrue, and are frankly a bald faced lie. Let this be clear, since Oma Hamou and her lover (cheating on his wife) Mike Newson don't seem to get it: We are NOT "Bob Atchison". We are NOT "Pallasart". We are NOT any single person they say we are. We are NOT in contact with nor in any way affiliated with any of them either. Given their paranoia and false premise on just this one issue, I suggest you take the rest of their statements with the same required truckload of salt. What does the fact that they can only attack those people as a response to addressing this REALITY tell you? I know what it tells us...
UPDATE December 24, 2006: See 1990 below for details of Oma Hamou as a kidnapper.
OK:
Oma Hamou- Model, Actress, Author, and Motion Picture Producer: This is what her website claims.
Model: There are no known publications and Oma Hamou refuses to provide any credits or proof. The Oma Hamou Reality is that Oma Hamou is either not a model with any genuine credits or is too ashamed/embarassed of her modeling "appearances" to fess up. Either way, judge for yourself.
Actress: There are no screen credits and Oma Hamou refuses to provide any credits or proof, saying only "whether she danced or was an extra the reality is that Oma appeared on television and in films." The Oma Hamou Reality is that Oma Hamou is either not an actress with any genuine credits or is too ashamed/embarassed of her "appearances" to fess up. Either way, judge for yourself.
Yet, this "actress" believes she has the "chops" to star in her own film playing the last Czarina of Russia, Alexandra Feodorovna. Can you say "Vanity production" kiddies?
Author: Oma Hamou has never published anything. She may have written "novels", but is not a published author.
Motion Picture Producer: Oma Hamou has no training nor experience actually producing a motion picture. Since 1999, she and her company Enigma Films have produced zero, zip, zilch, nada. Further, there are no trade references, nor verfiable employees for her company.
Her Company Enigma Films has no offices, no public telephone number, no Federal Employer's Tax ID number and lied about having offices in Russia (see below in the blog)
The Better Business Bureau rates Enigma Films a "D"
http://www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/Business/CompanyReportPage_Expository.aspx?CompanyID=13194901
They Define "D" as : We have enough concerns about this company (for example, their offer, customer complaints, advertising, etc.) that we recommend caution in doing business with it.
http://www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/Business/RatingExplanationPage.aspx?CompanyID=13194901&sm=#RatingExperience
Her companies have produced no income. Oma/Lover Mike admit that Enigma Films has not needed to pay any income taxes because there has been no income.
Oma Hamou admits that she "lives off the kindness of others" (apologies to Tennessee Williams) rather than actually earn a living. This old valley Perv Jim Sproul admitted publicly to giving her $150,000. We wonder if Oma Hamou reported this gift to the IRS when she got it, as the tax rules are clear that ANY gift over 10,000 bucks must be reported as income. Of course, if it is not a gift but a loan, we can just add that 150 grand to the rest of the huge debt detailed herein.
Oma Hamou's Background: Oma Hamou will fess up only to the most nebulous and vague statements. We know she has no motion picture experience to verify, so what HAS she done? Well, there IS the substantial criminal history and history of substantial debt:
Aug. 1 Oma Louise McConnell born Charleston W.Va.
1983
February 27. According to UPI, Oma McConnell aged 20 lied her way into Chasen's Restaurant, in Los Angeles breached all security and posed as a waitress during a State Dinner hosted by President Reagan for Queen Elizabeth II.
1990
June 15. Oma McConnell, then 26 married Marcus Demian, then aged 62.
"Fall 1990" according to Montana records, Dissolution of this marriage proceedings were underway. Dissolution proceedings appear not to have been finished or were dropped.
Unknown date in 1990: according to the Billings Montana Police Department Oma Demain was arrested, and posted a $20,000 bond. An arrest warrant was issued as she never appeared in court, but quashed two years later. There were no other available details.
Late 1990: Oma Hamou has published on the internet documents and statements supporting her "running away" from her "abusive" Husband Demian. She admits taking "children" with her. Now these documents confirm Oma Hamou had one child of her own, a second child, Haley Demian (dont blame me, Oma Hamou put the kid's name out there for us to find) was in Foster Care ordered by Montana authorities, and the third child was Haley Demian's brother. Now, Oma Hamou clearly has no regard for authority or proper legal channels, as evidenced by her own actions. See? Rather than turn to proper legal channels who were already involved, Oma Hamou KIDNAPPED A CHILD SHE HAD NO LEGAL AUTHORITY OVER NOR LEGAL RIGHT TO TAKE. She had only been married for SIX MONTHS to Marcus Demain, yet absconded with HIS child without authority to do so. Oma Hamou will tell you that "the ends justify the means" that she was "protecting" the child when she kidnapped him. We are grateful to Oma Hamou for publishing these revealing Court Documents that reveal this Oma Hamou Reality. This "ends justify the means" mentality is the same excuse Oma Hamou gives for being a multiple convicted felon, and running up this huge debt for her "project".
1991

1995
November 14, 1995; Oma Hamou was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department "in violation of California Penal Code 1551.1" as "A Fugitive From Justice" on a Felony Probation Violation Conviction from Summit County, Utah filed against her a full year earlier. She was held without bail in custody in Jail in Los Angeles for three weeks, until December 5, 1995, when she was extradited to Utah on the Felony "no bail" warrant. She paid the required restitution in Utah and was released.
1997
July 9: According to the Sand Diego Sherrif's office, Oma Hamou was arrested again in San Diego as a Felony Fugitive from Justice for violation of her Montana probation. San Diego Case CD129280. She was jailed for one month until extradited back to Yellowstone County, Billings, Montana on August 15. She paid the required restitution in Montana and was released.
Oma Hamou has posted on the web a letter of recommendation from Maricopa County Arizona purporting to indicate she was then working as a paralegal.
1999
Oma Hamou moves in to a home on Mayall Street in Northridge CA owned by William D. "Don" Morton. She is then 35 and he is then 84 (do we see a pattern here?). Don Morton owned Pacific Piano, and was considered one of the best piano repair and restoration experts in Los Angeles. Don's daughter in law Edna says that Oma Hamou originally moved in under the name of Rebecca Jordon, with three other girls. Edna also says that Oma Hamou took substantial sums of money from Don Morton, was having a sexual affair with this much older man, and she trashed his house while she lived there. Very interesting as well is that Edna says that Oma Hamou paid Edna's sister Rose to write a screenplay for her about the last Czar of Russia. Edna filed criminal complaints with the LAPD about Oma Hamou taking this money from Don. Edna also says Oma Hamou obtained an American Express card in Don Morton's name, without his knowledge and used that card. (see below, Oct. 24, 2002). Follow up with the LAPD officer in charge of the case confirms these charges and further confirms that sadly, the statute of limitations had run by the time she, the LAPD officer, could gather the evidence to prove them. After Don's son Randy got Oma Hamou out of the house, Enda says that Oma Hamou continued to send men to the house to ask Don to see her and she says Oma Hamou sent sexually explicit fax messages to Don, also begging him to see her.
2000
August 1: Oma Hamou was also arrested again by the Los Angeles Police Department on August 1, 2000 as "A Felony Fugitive From Justice, from Park County Wyoming" in violation of California Penal Code 1551.1". Case number BA205463. She was tried in front of Judge Christina Hill, present in Court and represented by John Alan. She was released in the interest of Justice as Wyoming refused to extradite her at that time as she paid the required restitution of $4,043.95.
October 15: Oma Hamou tells Dunn & Bradstreet that Enigma Royal Films was started in 1999 and operated as a film production company with 100 employees, operating out of a 5,362 sq. ft. three story building at the rear of her residence on Mayall Street in Northridge CA. She also tells D&B that she was in the process of leasing space at 100 Universal City Dr. (Universal Studios). Dunn & Bradstreet investigation concluded that Enigma Royal Films was not registered until just Sept. 14, 2000, not 1999 as she claimed. Further, the property management company for 100 Universal City Drive had no record of her "being in the process of leasing space there. Additional investigation by them showed that there was no three story 5,362 building at the rear of her Mayall Street residence and that there was no evidence of any employees.
2001
May: Hamou travels to Russia, signs contracts with the State Museum at Tsarskoe Selo, and pays the nominal amount of $4,300 to them at the time for some minor work to be done in the Semi-Circular Hall of the Alexander Palace. I found on the web that some guy spoke to a very nice English speaking lady named Olga who works for the Director of the Alexander Palace Museum, who said that Oma Hamou has not been seen since this time there, Oma Hamou never kept any of the promises of money or work she made at this time, and that any letters faxes or emails Hamou has sent them have been trashed and never responded to.We called Dr. Sautov's office ourself and spoke to a nice lady with perfect English named Louisa who said the exact same thing about Oma Hamou.
2002
