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.
