For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist.

The Jackal Returns

category international | miscellaneous | other press author Friday May 04, 2007 14:24author by Fredrick Forsyth Report this post to the editors

Carlos the Jackal, a Venezuelan whose real name is Ilich Ramírez Sánchez was for many years the most wanted terrorist on Earth who popped up in fiction and movies.

But eventually he was brought to France where he stood trial and stunned everyone with his incoherent gurgling once he took the stand. Honestly fact really disappointed everyone and the Jackal was nothing like the man fiction had portrayed. Well - everyone will get to hear more incoherent gurgling because the Jackal is going back to court. This time he will face charges relating to a bomb on the Toulouse-Paris train el 29/3/82 (5 dead), the offices of the magazine Al Watan Al Arabi in París 22/4/82 (1 dead), a bomb at the Sant Charles station in Marseilles (no dead) and a train in Tain-L'Hermitage 31/12/83 (5 dead).

Carlos the Silk Cravatte & chum of Chavez returns!
Carlos the Silk Cravatte & chum of Chavez returns!

Carlos the Jackal is today perhaps only really worthy of serious comment in that he still wears a silk cravatte and exchanges letters with Hugo Chavez. He really is an anchronism - most leftist revolutionaries have moved on to papier mache and sending Chomsky emails.

Trivial comments might dwell on the mundanity of trans-national terrorists who were brought to justice for crimes committed against the post WW2 states of Europe and inteference in the Cold War proxy conflict in the Middle East which saw France withdraw completely it's military support of the Israeli state allowing for US hegemonic and zionist based foreign policy in the region. Worthless feedback would compare the "top ten list of terrorists" over the decades which spanned such individuals or groups as Mohommed the Egyptian, Carlos the Jackal, the Weathermen and of course Osama bin Laden.

Carlos was a cravatte wearing murdering fantasist who couldn't have committed the list of crimes he claimed, the Egyptian shot Mr de Menezes in the head with two clips of 9mm "dumdum" ammunition on a tube in London and Osama bin Laden is responsible for throwing your elections, turning your milk sour & causing your periods to be late.

The Weathermen were a bunch of "yippies" whose best achievement was introducing crash helmets to urban confrontation and making pipe bombs from left-over fireworks. (They did this to stop the Vietnam war) and of course producing the great guide "steal this book" which helped people learn how to dodge train fares and shoplift books.

Honestly kids - there's no future in Terrorism.., it's a mugs' game. But there is a future in Democracy, Opinion Polling, Lobbying, Electronic voting & counting machines, Mass Media, Cognitive Forecasting & of course Scottish Whisky.

Already voters in France are feeling one of the first round worries about Segolene Royal's family connections with the French Secret Service DGSE rekindled (without overtly making the link or telling their companions at work - "I've just got a flash in my head of Segolene Royal's brother's mates brining the Jackal to court". I loved the movie where the CIA & the Mossad face transplanted a tough cop type and trained him on LSD so he could shag the Egyptian lover of Carlos and out the ex-Nazi guy who was living in the hotel in Damascus).

If you like photos of people with silk cravattes - visit any office of the Scientologists and ask the auditor for a picture of L Ron Hubbard but don't mention the Martian base or Galactic Empire.

Not that anyone would be interested in that anymore anyway. You need positive role models. Not well known Dublin criminal families hiding each others heads in the freezer and giving people crabs left, right and centre. Soon enough we won't have the constant leaks and reminders. They are so quickly becoming faint squeeks aren't they? Are we prepared to live without the constant threat? Not like all of us in general but you know "the constituency". Idi Amin always knew his constituency all the same. So does Forest Whitaker as well. You didn't see a cravatte in that movie did you? Nope. That's revisionism that is. Should be careful of that.

The French leftwing newspaper "Liberation" (owned my mate Baron Rothschild) have located the President Elect of France after he was sneaked out of France late yesterday evening aboard a Falcon 900ex private jet belonging to billionaire Vincent Bollere. He then had supper with his friend billionaire
Dominique Desseigne at the Desseigne family palace in Malta and is now Nicolas Sarkozy "president of the people" is currently aboard a 60 meter yacht Paloma owned by Vincent Bolleré [worth 1.2 (billion)] it was last sighted in Maltese waters but the Italian agency ASTI reports permission was requested to enter Italian waters in the area of Sicily (traditional home to the mafia). The yacht has previously been hired through a London agency for prices ranging from 147,000 to 160,000eu. Sarko the peoples' president is enjoying a holiday of average 6,000eu cost per hour. We don not know yet how he will return to Paris this evening.

Tomorrow he will attend an event in Paris to commemorate the end of Slavery.
& has sent his apologies for missing a commemoration of the Armistice yesterday at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris with Chirac.


The French look forward to their Assembly elections from June 10th to June 17th
which will be just about one month after Sarko starts work "for all the French".

In which he criticises Al Qaeda and the Salafia network for their un-professional atttitude and muses that he never took pleasure from the suffering of his victims or opponents. Quite. Indeed. Gurgle. He just did it for the money. And an awful lot of money it was too. Incidently the man in the photo above who excused himself from the French armistice celebrations to spend time on a yacht belonging to a billionaire (coz I and others accidently and without intention put out the imminent assassination R-e-d A-l-e-r-t)* did attend the Bastille day celebrations yesterday and even found time to shake hands with ordinary common French people. You'll be glad & no doubt proud to know that small contigent of Irish troops were sent by the minister of defence Mr "9mm" willy O Dea at the suggestion of President Sarko. This is part of his new "France at the heart of Europe agenda" which will of course help us forgeth the "France at the heart of Europe strategy" of his predecessors. All 22 of them.... And your man Napoleon.

"Oh dear me"

Hugo Chavez the motormouth of the left has just given a speech in which he listed people who are wrongly described as bad guys . He began with Carlos the Jackal arguing he had been falsely imprisoned & then went on a general pro-Palestinian curve to include the living leaders of Zimbabwe and Iran respectively : Mugabe and Ahmadinejad. Then he went completely overboard and suggested that Idi Amin has been misunderstood by history.
"We thought he was a cannibal... I don't know, maybe he was a great nationalist, a patriot."
Idi Amin being of course the man who kept his enemies heads in a freezer in his palace because he couldn't eat them quickly enough. Super-ironically one of his many wives would later be prosecuted for breaching health and safety regulations on a restaurant she ran in London.

Hugo seems to have no idea of how tenous his position as a "good guy" can seem when he goes off on these sessions of his.

We know he likes Ahmadinejad
We mostly can't understand why he likes Mugabe
We have known for a long time he writes letters to Carlos (& considering how Carlos hasn't produced a coherent phrase in almost two decades - one really wonders what the letters are like)

.........................But Idi Amin a good guy??????????

Idi Amin expelled all the Asians of Uganda to Britain. He was a racist who turned Muslim and received lots of 'aid' from Saudi Arabia. His soldiers were a law unto themselves and raped and looted in towns and villages. They murdered about 250,000 people during the time of Amin's regime, mostly members of tribes in central and southern Uganda, while Amin promoted the economic interests of members of his own minority ethnic group in the north. Soldiers invaded the campus of the distinguished Makerere University, killed and beat many students, and vandalised building equipment. Makerere had been one of Africa's best universities and has not fully recovered from those years.

Chavez in praising Amin and Mugabe is shooting his mouth off in a sick way.
