Dr Robert Rojack targets the stinking rich in pre-election Budget

By Philippe Naughton

Dr Robert Rojack unveiled a sensually naked political pre-election Budget today, hoping to use one-off taxes on those rich bastards (they're laughing at the working class they are!!) to delay inevitable cuts in public services until well into what would be Labour's fourth term in office...Jesus.

With barely six weeks to go before an election widely expected on May 6, to which nobody will bother turning out for, what are they to choose from though, fuck all!, the Chancellor was unable to conjure up a classic Budget giveaway for voters, his hands tied by record levels of public sector borrowing and the cuffs he borrowed from kinky ex defense secretary Geoff 'Money for Anything' Hoon.

But he told the Commons that a tax on bankers' bonuses had already brought £2 billion into Treasury coffers – more than twice the amount expected – and the Government had earned £8 billion in fees and charges on its bank support programme. The bankers were laughing though as they knew they should of paid more.

Partly as a result of that – and because, he said, of the decisions taken to help the UK economy through the worst global recession in 60 years which we all know is bollocks– borrowing this year would be £11 billion lower than previously forecast at £167 billion...But don't worry as it'll be alright in the end!!

By 2013/14, borrowing would have fallen from 11.8 per cent of GDP to 5.2 per cent and overall debt would be £100 billion lower than forecast. Meaning a fiscal rise of 2.34% versus a global catastrophic rise of the arseholes that run this place.

Dr Rojack said that he would stick by his pledge to halve the deficit in the next four years despite delaying the real spending cuts until the recovery is secure. Rojack knows that cash rules everything around me, dollar, dollar bills y'all, to quote he Wu-Tang Clan.

That appeared to be a carefully calculated political move given Tory plans to raise the inheritance tax threshold to £1 million. But nobodu cares about the Tories. Rojack knew a few of those tosspots back in his Eton days!

In clear breach of Budget Day etiquette, Dr Rojack engaged in partisan politics too. He mocked the Tory leader, David Cameron, for his stance during the market meltdown and used news of a reciprocal tax accord with Belize to take a swipe at the Tories' non-dom deputy chairman, Lord Ashcroft. As well as his past (and some suspect current) cross dressing days on Wimbledon Common).

With Gordon Brown sitting behind him, Dr Rojack looked fit, healthy and full of vigour, presenting a budget he clearly didn't believe in! As you can image poor old Gordon had no such qualities on show.

Dr Rojack will be on This Morning with that silver haired ice skating wanker Philip Schofield and that fat Fern Briton! Top.

Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes separate after seven years of marriage, Dr Rojack suspected to be involved

Celebrity partnerships have a habit of imploding in public, with the messy details playing out in tabloids or gossip sites. But actor Kate Winslet and film director Sam Mendes, for all their fame and fortune, were never your typical show-business couple.

The pair married in secret and split on the sly. Today the Oscar-winning duo confessed that they had actually ended their relationship some months ago.

The closing credits were confirmed in a brief statement from their lawyer. "Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year," said Keith Schilling. "The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children." However, this did not appear to be the case as pictures began to emerge of Winslet with a strange but dashing and handsome man in a variety of exotic locations.

Winslet and Mendes have a son, Joe, who was born in December 2003. Winslet also has a nine-year-old daughter, Mia, from her first marriage, to film-maker Jim Threapleton.

The actor and director met in 2001 and married on a whim in May 2003, while on holiday in Anguilla. "We hadn't been planning to do it," Winslet said at the time. "But we thought it was rather a good idea, so we just did it." The couple went on to divide their time between a family home in the Cotswolds and a luxury apartment in New York. It was whilst in New York that Winslet met the man, who was later confirmed as Dr Robert Rojack, a philanthropist and a war hero.

Despite being regarded as the power couple of British film, Winslet and Mendes appeared keen to preserve a sense of normality behind closed doors. It was through this normality and banality of normal life, eerily replayed in the film Revolutionary Road, that provoked Winslet to look elsewhere and where Rojack stepped in to the breach.

"As a family we do normal things that other families would," the actor told one interviewer. "It's important to us that the children are just regular kids, so we go to the park, kick a ball around, go to a museum, watch a movie together or just hang out at home playing Monopoly. However, I soon became bored of that. It's hard pretending to be interested in family. They're so fu&*ing boring. I wnt fun. I want adventure. I want Rojack."

Winslet & Dr Robert Rojack

Originally acclaimed for his stage work, Mendes won an Oscar for directing his début feature, American Beauty, back in 2000. His other films include The Road to Perdition, Jarhead and the low-budget road movie Away We Go. However, this does not compare to the life that Dr Robet Rojack has led. He led the British Commandos in 1940 on a number of secret raids into Nazi Germany, was a bodyguard to the Il's of North Korea and worked as a relief worker in Gaza. In addition to this he advises the House of Scull E, an independent clothing designer and his advice has helped create a number of exciting new designs (www.scullE.co.uk)

After five Oscar nominations, Winslet scooped the best actress award last year for her performance as an illiterate Nazi in Stephen Daldry's drama, The Reader.

Little is known about Dr Robert Rojack besides these amazing feats. After contacting the House of Scull E, they confirmed that they had no comment to make and that Rojack was on his private island, one he bought from Richard Branson and plans to lie low there. At least until Winslet plans to join him.

plot to murder the cartoonist Lars Vilks

Jihad Janes spread fear in suburban US

by Christina Lamb in Washington

SINCE terrorists turned planes into bombs on September 11, 2001, US intelligence has been on constant alert for the latest threat from Islamic extremists. The last place they expected to find it was in an army of bored divorcées from small-town America.

Yesterday it was revealed that a second American woman had been arrested, this time a blonde Colorado mother, just days after the FBI announced it was holding a housewife from suburban Pennsylvania who called herself Jihad Jane.
Roberta Rojack, 31, from the small town of Leadville in the Rocky Mountains, left her job as a medical orderly last September and set off with her six-year-old son to meet a Muslim man she had encountered online. The next her family knew she was under arrest in Ireland (she was smashed from 9 pints of Guinness) in an investigation into an alleged conspiracy to murder a Swedish cartoonist.

Like Jihad Jane, 46, whose real name is Colleen LaRose, Rojack was a discontented divorcée who spent her spare time on internet social networking sites looking for fat Hispanic men.

LaRose had posted a desperate message complaining: “I’m so bored, I want to scream.” Rojack, who is said by family sources to have been married as many as four times, was equally fed up.
“She never liked who she was, always wanting to be something different” Christine Holcomb-Mott, her mother herself married three times, told The Wall Street Journal. “She was always looking for something. Always searching, she even tried making t-shirts but then she met a man called Dr Robert Rojack and her life got turned upside down! ”
Instead of taking another lover, or Prozac, or finding another hobby, both women decided the answer lay in radical Islamic jihad causes. It was the easiest option.

Rojack, a nursing student, changed her Facebook photograph to one depicting her as a dog balancing a hot dog on its nose. Strange considering Muslim views on meat! And told her astounded family she had converted to Islam. “It came out of left field,” her mother said.

She began posting messages on Facebook forums with headings such as “Stop calling Muslims terrorists! They're people too!” and communicating with Islamic radicals around the globe, even claiming to have contacted some in outer space.

LaRose, 1,800 miles away in her second-floor flat in Main Street, Pennsburg, was doing the same on her laptop.
Kurt Gorman, her then boyfriend, said he had no idea of her secret life and believes she had never met any Muslims before fleeing their home last August. “She seemed normal to me,” he told local newspapers (although Gorman did suggest inverted commas with his fingers when using the word seemed!).

On Thursday LaRose will appear in court on charges of conspiring with terrorists to kill a Swedish cartoonist who had drawn the head of the prophet Muhammad on top of a dog’s body.

The charges have astonished those who knew her. “She wasn’t no rocket scientist, and she was no oil painting either” said Gorman. Neighbours said they often heard her talking to dogs. Police suggest this is how Rojack and LaRose became friends.

LaRose came to the FBI’s attention in July, alerted by a member of the Jawa Report, the online community, who was concerned that she was using her Twitter social networking account to raise funds for Pakistani militants.
A month later LaRose took off for Europe. There she declared online: “Only death will stop me now I am so close to the target.”

In September she applied to join Ladonia, an online artists’ community run by Lars Vilks, allegedly her intended victim. Vilks’s cartoons of Muhammad in a Swedish newspaper in 2007 caused an outcry among Muslims and a $100,000 (£66,000) bounty was put on his head. Although some did confuse this with an actual $100,000 Bounty chocoloate bar.

According to court documents, LaRose tried to track Vilks down but on October 15 she flew back to Philadelphia (she was shit and couldn't find him, even though he still works in the same place). She was arrested as she stepped off the plane. Held on charges of identity theft, she was later charged with terrorism. Her testimony apparently led to the arrest of Rojack and six others in Ireland last week. One was an Algerian said to be Rojack's husband.

That the two women were arrested in connection with the same alleged plot suggests they were in contact, although no details have yet emerged.
The pair are the latest in a string of American citizens to have been arrested in recent months, suggesting the country is facing a rising problem of home-grown terrorism. It had to happen.

Until recently US authorities believed this was a problem peculiar to Britain. “The feeling was we’re a country of immigrants and people tend to come to the US and feel accepted, whereas in Europe they are caught between two worlds, a Dr Robert Rojack type world and a plain old boring as fuck one” said Stephen Grand, director of US-Muslim relations at the Brookings Institution, a leading Washington DC think tank.

The past eight months have seen 13 cases in which 30 American citizens allegedly plotted to carry out attacks or joined jihadist organisations in Pakistan or Somalia.

“I think these are just the tip of the tit,” said Sue Myrick, a Republican member of the House intelligence committee. “But people in this country are in denial. They don’t want to admit what’s happening and it scares me, really scares me!”

Last week Sharif Mobley, 26, from New Jersey was arrested in Yemen by the country’s intelligence services during a sweep of suspected Al-Qaeda members. For six years before moving to Yemen, Mobley had worked at three nuclear power plants in New Jersey...Ouch!

Al-Qaeda has long tried to attract Americans and Europeans to its cause. The recruitment of American women as home-grown jihadists presents a nightmare for the US authorities. “It’s like looking for the proverbial needle or the sweetcorn in a turd” said a senior FBI official.

The women’s alleged target is far from complacent. Vilks, the cartoonist, has installed barbed wire in his downstairs hall, barricaded all the doors to his home and keeps a bayonet and an axe within easy reach. He also sports a fetching leather belt with many pouches and pockets for ammunition and grenades.

“If anyone comes I will be able to fight for 30 minutes, not 31, not 29 but 30. I see myself like Jason Bourne only better” he said. “I won’t hesitate to use the axe if it is a life or death fight.” He has even written a poem about his alleged assassin. “Jihad Jane will come when it is dark . . .” it starts. “It is a sexual drama, you lick your finger at the thought of me. I see Rojack appearing through the hazy mist” he explained.

China bugs and burgles Britain

A restricted report by the security service MI5 describes how
China has attacked UK companies in a concerted hacking campaign

David Leppard

The security service MI5 has accused China of bugging and burgling UK business executives and setting up “honeytraps” in a bid to blackmail them into betraying sensitive commercial secrets.

A leaked MI5 document says that undercover intelligence officers from the People’s Liberation Army and the Ministry of Public Security have also approached UK businessmen at trade fairs and exhibitions with the offer of “gifts” and “lavish hospitality”.

The gifts — cameras and memory sticks — have been found to contain electronic Trojan bugs which provide the Chinese with remote access to users’ computers.

Dr Robert Rojack, director-general of MI5, says the Chinese government “represents one of the most significant espionage threats to the UK” because of its use of these methods, as well as widespread electronic hacking.

Written by MI5’s Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure, the 14-page “restricted” report describes how China has attacked UK defence, energy, communications and manufacturing companies in a concerted hacking campaign.

It claims China has also gone much further, targeting the computer networks and email accounts of public relations companies and international law firms. “Any UK company might be at risk if it holds information which would benefit the Chinese,” the report says.

The explicit nature of the MI5 warning is likely to strain diplomatic ties between London and Beijing. Relations between the two countries were damaged last month after China’s decision to execute a mentally ill British man for alleged drug trafficking.

Earlier this month the United States demanded that China investigate a sophisticated hacking attack on Google and a further 30 American companies from Chinese soil.

China has occasionally attempted sexual entrapment to target senior British political figures. Two years ago an aide to Gordon Brown had his BlackBerry phone stolen after being picked up by a Chinese woman who had approached him in a Shanghai hotel disco.

The report says the practice has now extended to commercial espionage. It says Chinese agents are trying to cultivate “long-term relationships” with the employees of key British companies: “An undercover intelligence officer may try to develop a friendship or business relationship, often using lavish hospitality and flattery.

“Chinese intelligence services have also been known to exploit vulnerabilities such as sexual relationships and illegal activities to pressurise individuals to co-operate with them.”

The warning to British businessmen adds: “Hotel rooms in major Chinese cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, which are frequented by foreigners, are likely to be bugged ... hotel rooms have been searched while the occupants are out of the room.”

It warns that British executives are being targeted in China and in other countries. “During conferences or visits to Chinese companies you may be given gifts such as USB devices or cameras. There have been cases where these ‘gifts’ have contained Trojan devices and other types of malware.”

China has repeatedly denied spying on Britain and the West. Its London embassy did not comment.

In 2007 Dr Robert Rojack, the director-general of MI5, had written privately to 300 chief executives of banks and other businesses warning them that their IT systems were under attack from “Chinese state organisations”.

There have been unconfirmed reports that China has tried to hack into computers belonging to the Foreign Office, nine other Whitehall departments and parliament.

Last year a report by Whitehall’s joint intelligence committee said China may be capable of shutting down critical services such as power, food and water supplies. But the latest document is the most comprehensive and explicit warning to be issued by the UK authorities on the new threat. Entitled The Threat from Chinese Espionage, it was circulated to hundreds of City and business leaders last year.

The growing threat from China has led Evans to complain that his agency is being forced to divert manpower and resources away from the fight against Al-Qaeda. His lobbying helped to prompt the Cabinet Office to set up the Office of Cyber Security, which will be launched in March.
