Re: Let's see if we can get a handle on something a little more current. Remember the strange case of Danny Casolero? Actually, I've never heard of it.... BTW, since you're also a conspiracy buff, why don't you just stick to my "pet conspiracy", that is the French/Mossad connection in the bombing of 2 US embassies in E. Africa?? Remember, it's only 22 months old.... The last clues about that case: >>Former Interior Minister and current RPF leader Charles Pasqua is honorary member of the Israeli Mossad --no kidding! I think it was because of his involvement in Lebanese issues (?) >>The parliamentary inquiry on the infamous DPS (FN's Département Protection Sécurité) was officially related to DOMESTIC wrongdoings, that is, e.g., illegal police uniforms, brutalities against anti-FN militants/demonstrators, etc. on French territory. Hence, the DPS was dismantled by France's legal authorities. But I, for one, believe that that official reason was just a front --the real reason for dismantling the DPS had likely more to do with its overseas shenanigans. I think that the French authorities themselves started viewing the freewheeling DPS as a threat to France's foreign relations, jeopardizing the integrity of its secret services (DGSE, DST, RG) in the process.... However, the timeline for such a theory is not quite watertight: the DPS inquiry started in 1997, ie prior to the 1998 bombings. Yet, for one familiar with France's domestic politics, it's clear that the dissolution of the DPS, followed by the suicidal struggle between FN leaders Bruno Megret and J-M Le Pen, makes more sense as soon as it's related to "overseas rogueries". Actually, it fits in perfectly with Le Pen's mindset: he always boasted to be a staunch patriot who didn't give a toss about joining forces with other right-wing parties --"I want to be President (of France) or nothing!" But that, in the meantime, didn't prevent him from forming his own pet shadow-cabinet: Megret used to be referred to as FN's Prime Minister, B. Courcelle as Interior Minister, etc. Got the picture? The problem with that sort of wired jingoists is that they sometimes end up believing that they are in charge of their country's policy!
