Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.

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. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

De villepine faces court for Smearing Sarko & Clearstream

category international | crime and justice | other press author Friday July 27, 2007 11:24author by rt Hon Dr O as if - ( I've got my title bertie - no gongs for me) Report this post to the editors

Maybe the pigeons are coming home to roost after all.., This morning the former prime minister of France & one top dauphin of Chirac faced his first grilling in relation to allegations that he (& others in the DGSE) bugged Sarkozy, smeared Sarkozy & all to hide their role in the biggest corruption scandal in modern history - "the clearstream affair". In the last years of Chirac's presidency I found myself writing quite a bit about Dominique de Villepin the man whom I gave the dubious honour of calling the Dev of our age a man who alas thought to stop a scandal which involves over twenty times the budget of the Irish state getting out of the big shoeboxes they keep for that sort of money with lots of zeros on the end.

For the moment I don't want to rewrite it all so this "other press" article links to English coverage of the proceedings, the wikipage on "clearstream" & some background links over my DeV coverage of the last years. I call this whole affair the "who wants tobe a trillionaire?"

It's a good question too. Basically - loads of people do want to be trillionaires - but in the real world you have to share out and divvy up such huge amounts of money. Coz some billionaires are a "bite your face off" lot & with the old resentment of dropping down the Forbes list & being driven to suicidal manias on account of them being thought of as losers - they do all sorts of strange things - like ignoring Segolene Royal's hopes & putting in Sarko.

the wikipedia article in English which has gone from being a stub called "clearstream 2" with a little link "the french but thier nose in" - to when we hit the trillion mark and it was called "clearstream scandal" and now at the whopping big smelly 1.4 trillion thing it is - we just call it Clearstream.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearstream

my background includes such well loved but little appreciated larger than life characters as - General Rondot, the Jackal, Julia (of course), Harriri (the dead one), Quebec (most of their rich ones) & you know there was oh yes there was - an Irish connection too.
Enough to remind people of -
Monsieur General Rondot and the role of both French foreign and domestic secret services in all this which formed part of the now sublime article "mafia news for world press freedom day".

Oh yes - do note you students of modern espionage and scandal that having moved on from the electrodes and backrub and realising it's all in the Blackberry - we may now see Sarkozy's first cabinet decision to ban Blackberry's in a different light. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6221146.stm
