My boss, the President of the company that I work for, asked me if this picture was real. I told him yes. He asked me where it was taken and I told him I would try to find out.
Boy is he going to be amazed at my sleuthing skills!!!
Welcome to the light and good day.
More on Akbar and his background *here*.
After his misadventures with the forces of order in San Francisco, the indomitable anarchist decided to go for an extended holiday in Greece. He knew so little about the country he gave an interview in which he indicated his belief that newspapers there are printed with the Latin alphabet, and the hope that he would be able to read his own name across the world.
This trip was easy for him to make because the selfless revolutionary enjoys a trust fund income from his dead parents, one of whom, according to him, was a CIA officer.
In September 2000, he returned from his Greek idyll in fine yuppie style, notwithstanding his profession of hatred for all things petit-bourgeois. He came back to San Francisco in a first-class airliner seat, in which he became drunk and rowdy because, as he put it, the wine on the Air France flight, of which he had consumed five glasses, "wasn't even a good red." He had been strapped into his seat, and police at the San Francisco airport busted him for public intoxication, noting that he "couldn't care for himself." The tough anarchist had wet his pants when the police grabbed him.
Why with his parent's CIA background, and his ability to evade serious prosecution for his criminal acts, he begins to soind like a penetration agent or hired informant ratting out his leftwing pals as miuch as supporting them. In light of some of the past practices of the San Francisco *Red Squad,* that'd be a very possible scenario, and one that ought to be of interest to those he may be selling out. And if they too find him wanting and eliminate him, perhaps using their favoured Trotsky or *Iron Feliks* methodology, no great loss to either, or more likely, both, sides.
Too bad noone slipped him a ticket to go be a *peace shield* in Iraq. The problem could have been dealt with there with less fuss.

Oh jeez! For a minute I thought he was gonna talk about Mel Gibson coachin' his kids in "The Patriot".

Stephen Shwartz: I was once known as "Sandalio"... aka "Suleyman Ahmad"
What a great thread lol. I'm a big fan of your writing, welcome to FR!
He writes that I am an "admirer" of Sorel's -- hey, bud, I never even MET the guy. He's your little friend: what have I got to do with it? Nothing.
"Sandalio" writes: "I was once known as 'Sandalio,' a name I took as an illegal activist in Spain, to avoid the attentions of that country's secret police...."
This is a lie. Spain hasn't HAD a "secret police" since the death of Franco, in 1975. Yet "Sandalio"/Schwartz was using that name in the early 1980s in writing for the "The Alarm," publication of the "Fomento Obrero Revolucionario Organizing Committee in the United States," (FOCUS).
Lying is THE communist method -- and, with "Comrade Sandalio," old habits apparently die hard.
"Comrade Sandalio/Suleyman" writes: "Doubtless Raimondo appears as 'Dennis' on his driver's license, so as to keep himself out of certain kinds of trouble."
What drivel. I changed my name, for non-political reasons, when I was all of 13 years old. I ran for Congress (as the Republican candidate) in SF, and "Justin Raimondo" was clearly printed on the ballot. "Certain kinds of trouble"? Oh, please, Comrade Sandalio -- are you asking to see my papers, as if we were living in the commie workers' paradise you worked for years to bring about? Not quite yet, buster!
Schwartz claims I supported Slobodan Milosevic -- which is an outright lie, as anyone who goes to Antiwar.com and reads my many articles on the subject can see. The rest of Schwartz's name-calling and lies aren't worth refuting: the man is an overgrown child with delusions of grandeur. He isn't a very good liar. And he's an even worse writer.
Put down the crack pipe, my friend, and sober up.
I speak as a Marine, 9 years service.
I served as an enlisted man and later as a non-commisioned officer (read that as Sergeant) with good leadership and so-so leadership.
Most of the officers I served with were great. There were a couple of exceptions, losers in officer uniform.
I would not have killed any of them.
I did snicker at some of them, on my own time.
Click on the link to Schwartz's crazed article: it has been pulled by the editors of Rightturns.com. Apparently they hadn't read it carefully, and took it off when the many factual errors in it were pointed out.
