7 killed, 7 injured May 23, 2014 Elliot Rodger UC Santa Barbara Shooting "Virgin Killer" 9:30 pm Friday night near UC Santa Barbara 7 people dead including killer, 7 hospitalized when Elliot Rodgers shot at crowds from his BMW trading shots with police for 10 minutes. He was found with 4 handguns with 400 rounds of ammunition. He first stabbed 3 Chinese including his roommates and a visitor at his house before his cross-town drive-by killing spree targeting a sorority, deli, gunfights with deputies and church service often driving on the wrong side of the road, running down four people on foot and bicycle with his car. His of half-Chinese as a his mother is Malaysian Chinese Li Chin. His father is Peter Rodger who was an assistant director for The Hunger Games movie, and his stepmother is from the Arab/Muslim nation of Morocco.
CounterConspiracy Theory: The Taliban or North Korea or Khadaffi would have loved to have recruited this fellow to do their work, but of course, that is not a possibility since we know his motive was made clear by the Youtube video. There is no possibility this could have been a covert attack backed by the intelligence agency of a foreign nation. This is a carefully orchestrated complex attack which involves stabbing Chinese, women, attacking college students, sororities, convenience store with drive-by shooting, gunfight with police, attacking a Christian church service, driving on the wrong side of the road, and leaving a manifesto. strikingly similar to two previous year 2013 attacks carried out by Muslims or Arabs that were speculated that might have had possible middle eastern politics motives: 6 dead, 4 injured June 7, 2013 John Zawahri: Santa Monica College Massacre and 4 dead, 5 injured February 18, 2013 Ali Syed Orange County Freeway Shooter. The 2018 Toronto van rampage killer posted approval of Isla Vista attack.

Three people were shot and killed by the perpetrator. They were identified as Katherine Cooper, 22, and Veronika Weiss, 19, both students at the University of California, Santa Barbara, (UCSB) who were killed at the sorority house; and Christopher Michael-Martinez, 20, another UCSB student who was killed at the Isla Vista Deli Mart. Three other men were stabbed to death at the attacker's apartment prior to the shooting spree. The victims were identified as Cheng Yuan Hong, 20; George Chen, 19; and Weihan Wang, 20.[31] Hong and Chen were confirmed to be the attacker's roommates, while police were investigating whether Wang was also a roommate or was visiting the apartment.[32][11][33][34]
Thirteen other people were injured, eight of them from gunshot wounds and four others by blunt trauma sustained after being struck by the attacker's vehicle. The thirteenth injury was undetermined.[35] Eleven of the injured were taken to hospitals; seven were taken to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, where two are currently in serious condition and three others in fair condition, while the seventh patient was released on the same day. The remaining four injured were taken to Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, where they were all treated and released.[12]
he perpetrator was tentatively identified as 22-year-old Elliot Rodger by family members, which was later confirmed by police officials.[6][11][17] He was born inLondon, England, and moved to the United States when he was five years old. His father is filmmaker Peter Rodger, whose credits include working as a second unit assistant director for The Hunger Games.[36] His mother is Malaysian Chinese Li Chin[37] and his stepmother is actress Soumaya Akaaboune.[6] His paternal grandfather was British photojournalist George Rodger.[38] He had a younger sister and a younger half-brother.[39] By the ninth grade, Rodger was "increasingly bullied" and he stated that he "cried by myself at school every day". In 2012, Rodger stated that the "one friend I had in the whole world who truly understood" him "blatantly said he didn't want to be friends anymore", without offering him a reason for abandoning the friendship.[40] He was described as "a serial killer in the making" by users of a bodybuilding online forum Rodger was a registered member of.[41]
According to the Rodger family's attorney, Rodger saw multiple therapists and was a student at Santa Barbara City College, although the school later claimed he was no longer taking classes.[13] The lawyer also claims that Rodger was diagnosed with "highly functional Asperger syndrome" as a child.[42] Prior to attending Santa Barbara City College, Rodger attended Crespi Carmelite High School, an all-male Catholic high school, but left before graduating.[43] He had aYouTube account, a Facebook account, and a blog titled Elliot Rodger's Official Blog, all of which contained posts expressing loneliness and rejection. His manifesto mentioned a number of drugs that he was prescribed to use, although how long he was being treated with them and the identity of the drugs currently remain unknown.[23]
In a previous incident, Rodger "wrote that he tried to shove 'girls' at a party over a ledge, but he couldn't do it, and then men rushed to him and pushed him over". He stated that he "felt a snap in my ankle, followed by a stinging pain" and "tried to get away from there as fast as" he could. Realizing that he left his Gucci sunglasses at the social gathering, Rodger returned to retrieve them but the "same people he had tangled with before began mocking him and calling him names, then dragged him into the driveway to beat him up". One of Rodger's neighbors stated that "he saw Rodger come home, crying" and said that Rodger claimed that he was going to kill the men who attacked him, and "kill myself".[40]
On April 30, 2014, a month prior to the killings,[29] his parents reported him to police after being concerned about his behavior and YouTube videos. He would later state in his manifesto that he had already planned the killings and purchased his guns by that time, and that officers who interviewed him would have nearly exposed his plans if they conducted a search of his bedroom.[17][44] Rodger had contact with the police two other times since 2013. In July 2013,[12] he claimed he was beaten by several people, but investigators presumed he was the aggressor. On January 15, 2014, he accused his roommate of stealing candles and performed a citizen's arrest; the roommate was later properly arrested, but released. The roommate was later confirmed to be Chen Yuan Hong, one of the three men found stabbed to death in Rodger's apartment.[45][8][46]
Manifesto and online posts[edit]
Rodger, who was Eurasian, wrote in his manifesto that being mixed race made him "different from the normal fully white kids".[47] On an online forum, Rodger would post misogynistic statements.[41] On another forum, Rodger stated that he opposed interracial dating and made several racist posts regarding African American, South Asian, and East Asian peoples, stating that seeing people of these ethnic groups with white people "makes you want to quit life".[48][40] In one online post, Rodger stated:
Full Asian men are disgustingly ugly and white girls would never go for you. You're just butthurt that you were born as an asian piece of shit, so you lash out by linking these fake pictures. You even admit that you wish you were half white. You'll never be half-white and you'll never fulfill your dream of marrying a white woman. I suggest you jump off a bridge.[48]
Rodger posted a video on YouTube on the day of the attack, titled Elliot Rodger's Retribution, in which he complained of being rejected by women and described details of his upcoming attack,[7] also laying out his motivations and plans.[49]Police said they were investigating the video.[50][51] In the video, he says:
Tomorrow is the day of retribution, the day in which I will have my revenge. [5]
You girls have never been attracted to me. I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it.[5]
In "My Twisted World", he also outlined some of his plans:
On the day before the Day of Retribution, I will start the First Phase of my vengeance: Silently killing as many people as I can around Isla Vista by luring them into my apartment through some form of trickery.[52]
In the manifesto, he also stated that he planned to kill his half-brother and stepmother, but wasn't mentally prepared to kill his father.[44]
Reactions[edit]
California Governor Jerry Brown offered condolences to the families of victims and stated that he was "saddened to learn of this senseless tragedy". University of California President Janet Napolitano said in a statement while at Laney College, "This is almost the kind of event that's impossible to prevent and almost impossible to predict." Delta Delta Delta reacted to the news of the deaths of members Katherine Cooper and Veronika Weiss, saying, "Tri Delta is devastated to learn of the tragic event at the University of California, Santa Barbara and so very saddened to learn of the death of two of our members. Our hearts go out to their families and our sisters at Gamma Theta. Tri Delta's staff, volunteers and local alumnae are working with the chapter to provide support as they grieve this loss." The University of California, Santa Barbara, also released a statement regarding the attacks, saying, "Our campus community is shocked and saddened by the events that occurred last night in the nearby community of Isla Vista. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families who are grieving and mourning as a result of this tragedy."[12]
Students and community members gathered at Anisq'Oyo' Park in Isla Vista on the evening of May 24, 2014, for a candlelight memorial to remember the victims.[53][54] In addition, the pastor of Isla Vista Church, one of the locations targeted by gunfire during the attacks,[22] made church members "available throughout the weekend for students who would like to receive prayer or need to talk".[55][56]
The attacks renewed calls for gun control, with Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal saying, "A year and half ago it seemed like we were on the verge of, potentially, legislation that would stop the madness and end the insanity that has killed too many young people, thousands, tens of thousands since Sandy Hook. I hope, I really, sincerely hope that this tragedy, this unimaginable, unpseakable tragedy, will provide impetus to bring back measures that would keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people who are severely troubled or deranged like this young man was." In the wake of the killing spree, Richard Martinez, the father of Christopher Michael-Martinez, one of the victims of the shooting spree, gave a speech in which he placed the blame of the attacks on the National Rifle Association and gun-rights politicians.[57]

Twenty-five-year-old Marc Lépine, armed with a legally obtained Mini-14 and a hunting knife, shot twenty-eight people before killing himself. He began his attack by entering a classroom at the university, where he separated the male and female students. After claiming that he was "fighting feminism" and calling the women "a bunch of feminists," he shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He then moved through corridors, the cafeteria, and another classroom, specifically targeting women to shoot. Overall, he killed fourteen women and injured ten other women and four men in just under twenty minutes before turning the gun on himself.[1][2] Lépine was the son of aFrench-Canadian mother and an Algerian father, and had been physically abused by his father. His suicide note claimed political motives and blamed feminists for ruining his life. The note included a list of nineteen Quebec women whom Lépine considered to be feminists and apparently wished to kill.[3]

San Marco had previously worked as a dispatcher for the Santa Barbara Police Department in the mid-1990s, a job for which she underwent a background check and psychological evaluation. She left the job after several months, which was not unusual for the high-stress occupation.[1] San Marco eventually went to work for the postal service as a clerk, but left on psychological disability following a 2003 incident in which she had to be removed from her workplace by police.[2] San Marco subsequently moved to a small town in New Mexico sometime in 2004. According to colleagues, she had a history of making racially charged statements, and once attempted to start a publication entitled The Racist Press.[3]

*Sources
Elliot Rodger ended his murder spree in Isla Vista, Calif., last week by taking his own life, but a man who mounted an eerily similar attack 13 years ago survived his rampage and is now a free man who liberty haunts his victims' families.
... Feb. 23, 2001, when David Attias — a then-University of California-Santa Barbara freshman and son of Hollywood director Daniel Attias — plowed his turbo-charged Saab into a group of young adults in the same Isla Vista neighborhood of the coastal community, killing four and permanently injuring another before climbing atop the car and declaring himself "the Angel of Death." Charged with murder, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity and sent to a state mental institution. He was released in 2012, having been locked away for slightly more than two years for each of his dead victims.
...
the two deadly incidents were 13 years apart, the eerie similarities were not lost on the families who continue to grieve the loss of children in 2001. In addition to the sprees occurring in the same area, both killers were the sons of Hollywood directors who felt alienated socially and both used cars in their attacks.
Tony Bourdakis, father of Nicholas Bourdakis, told FoxNews.com that the May 23 attack by Rodger brought him and his wife a sickening sense of deja vu. Rodger, whose father is a movie director whose credits include work on "The Hunger Games," stabbed three roommates to death in his apartment, then shot three people at random in the idyllic community near Santa Barbara. Prior to his attack, he had posted chilling YouTube videos and a 137-page manifesto in which he said he was a virgin who had been spurned by women all his life.
“My wife said, 'My God, it’s the same situation,'” Bourdakis said. "It’s Friday night, just like the first time. It’s the 23rd of the month. He essentially focused the same way David Attias did. "I think [the similarity] really has to be looked into," he said. "It really scares the hell out of me.”
Law officers who visited Elliot Rodger three weeks before he killed six college students near a Santa Barbara university were aware that he had posted disturbing videos but didn't watch them, and they didn't know about his final video detailing his "Day of Retribution" until after the deadly rampage, officials said.
The Isla Vista Shooter: This is Not the Autism Spectrum
His behaviors are much more consistent with malignant narcissism.
The mass murderer displayed malignant narcissism, envy, and entitlement that are not typical with his reported autism spectrum diagnosis. Misunderstanding mental illness introduces potential for misplaced fear.
ENRICO GNAULATIMAY 29 2014, 12:00 PM ET
In the interest of prevention in the aftermath of the horrific killing spree in Isla Vista, California, last weekend, the public is again looking to mental health experts for a window into the state of mind of a mass murderer. This time, because the assailant, 22, left us with abundant personal information in his harrowing YouTube videos and 140-page manifesto, My Twisted World, we have an opportunity to analyze a state of mind. The detailed and transparent nature of his videos and life story, as well as their ease of access on the Internet, provide mental health, public policy, and law enforcement experts with an unprecedented opportunity to find some insight in the psyche of a mass murderer.
It is doubtful that his true diagnosis was “high-functioning Asperger’s syndrome,” (a diagnosis which has been phased out and is subsumed under that of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)) as alluded to by the family attorney. His behaviors are much more consistent with malignant narcissism.
Making the case for the inappropriateness of an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis in Elliott Rodger’s case is critically important to address the public misconception that autistic individuals have an unusually high potential for violence. One in 68 children currently has a diagnosis of ASD
Did he have alternative youtube accounts?

Drive-by shootings then took place at eight different locations near the university.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said that Elliot Rogers had made videos on YouTube and posts on Facebook which made certain threats.[6][4]
Sheriff Bill Brown told reporters that the police had interviewed Elliot Rodger three times, beginning in 2013.
The police interviewed Elliot on 30 April 2014 when a family member asked police to check on Elliot.

The media seems to want to make this out as some sort of school shooting as evidenced by all the news alerts I keep receiving about the deadliest campus shootings in US history referencing names like Cho Seung-Hui and Stephen Kazmierczak. Even though a lot f residents of Isla Vista attend UC Santa Barbara I would not consider this a school shooting in the unfortunate sense we’ve all come to know even though there are similarities.
Like most school shooters Elliot Rodger had an over-inflated sense of entitlement and used violence to try to resolve his own inadequacies. As evidenced in his YouTube videos Rodger felt that he not only deserved women but that the world owed it to him. It’s also believed that Rodger died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound like also like most school shooters. What I prefer to call taking the coward’s way out. Rodger also had many online rants and manifestos documenting his ‘plight’. Even with all those similarities I wouldn’t call this a school shooting or even a campus shooting as Rodger did not attend UCSB and didn’t see the school as the root of the problem. Not to mention that the shooting didn’t even take place on campus. None of that matters anyway since a number of families are mourning the victims of this spoiled psychopathic assclown.

Spoiled Hollywood Leftist Elliot Rodger Mass Murder in Isla Vista at #UCSB
Virtually to the one, psycho mass shooters have been flaming progressive leftists.
And now we have this born-in-privilege, BMW-driving Hollywood leftist Elliot Rodger, who went on a rampage late last night at UCSB.
Astute Bloggers has it, "UCSB SHOOTER, ELLIOT RODGERS: PSYCHO SPEWING POSTMODERNIST CRAP."
More at Bearing Arms, "A MASS MURDERER MADE IN HOLLYWOOD: Spoiled, Rejected Son of Hunger Games Assistant Director Murders Six In BMW Drive-By Shooting Before Committing Suicide":
You can watch his deranged leftist entitlement manifesto at the Blaze, "Extreme Caution: This Frightening YouTube Video May Be the Manifesto of Santa Barbara Mass Slayer."
Don't know if Rodger was a Democrat, but he was a classic spoiled-brat postmodern leftist.
Here's the MSM report at LAT, "7 dead in drive-by shootings near UC Santa Barbara."
The depraved Obama-protection media will be spinning this Elliot Rodger as some kinda of NRA-survivalist tea party conserva-libertarian, or something.
Sorry, but that ain't gonna fly. This guy had the Hollywood leftist silver spoon in his mouth since diapers. Cradled in privilege, he resorted to the only thing leftists know when they don't get what they want: murderous eliminationist violence.

Curiously, American media outlets like the Chicago Tribune, NPR, CNN, and NBC LA have refused to name the suspect, even though he posted his rant justifying the mass murder before it took place on social media video sites YouTube and Liveleak.You think?
This is incredibly bizarre behavior by a mainstream media that is very quick to speculate on the identity of suspects in high-profile crimes with even the flimsiest of evidence (for example, slandering Olympic Park hero Richard Jewell as the suspect in Eric Robert Rudolph’s 1996 Summer Olympics bombing, and claiming that the Sandy Hook shooting was carried out by Adam Lanza’s brother). Here, they seem to have circled the proverbial wagons around this son of Hollywood royalty in a protective measure.
Likewise, the Facebook pages and Twitter feeds of Michael Bloomberg-funded citizen control cult Moms Demand Action/Everytown for Gun Safety and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) remain mute on the killings, when such crimes are generally exploited immediately for public relations purposes by these groups.
Why?
I hate being cynical, but it appears that the gun control groups and the mainstream media are more interested in protecting the image of their progressive Hollywood allies than they are telling the story of what happened last night.

Napolitano: Rampage very tough to predict, prevent
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - University of California President Janet Napolitano says a mass shooting in the community around UC Santa Barbara is "almost the kind of event that's impossible to prevent and impossible to predict." The former secretary of Homeland Security who took over as head of the UC system in September made the remarks after a commencement speech in Oakland Saturday, a day after the rampage that authorities say left seven people including the gunman dead and seven others injured. UC Santa Barbara says students were among the victims. myfoxdc

The suspect in the deaths of six people in a mass shooting near the University of California, Santa Barbara, was identified today as a lonely student who promised “retribution” in a video posted hours beforehand.
Elliot Rodger was identified by his father through attorney Alan Schifman. The father, Peter Rodger, was the assistant director for one of the “Hunger Games” films.
Police haven't confirmed if Rodger, 22, was the gunman or whether he posted or appeared in the YouTube video. During a news conference Saturday, they said the gunman died in the shooting.
Rodger was being treated by multiple therapists and was a student at Santa Barbara City College, said Schifman.

Actually by him or from a Hollywood scriptwriter?
I still haven't seen much in comparing this latest Isla Vista Massacre to the Isla Vista Masscare 2001. In the one from 2001, the mentally deranged son of a hollywood director killed a bunch of people in UCSB. Wait, what?

I just watched the BBC World Service News and was dismayed and flabbergasted to see them devote the first five minutes to the Brussels shooting story. By way of contrast the California mass shooting received around fifteen seconds of coverage at twenty past the hour.
The second story was about the Pope's visit to Israel and nascent Palestine, this story lasted four minutes, featured literally zero footage of the Pope's visit to the West Bank, in fact that whole visit was simply edited out, none of the remarks made by the Pope were deemed newsworthy by the BBC. The visit to the "separation wall" in Bethlehem was not depicted.
I realise that it is foolish to be surprised by this but surely BBC propaganda was not always at such a crude and base level. How nauseating to think that everyone in the UK is expected to pay TV tax to fund this despicable trash-even if they never watch the BBC. Do they actually think no-one will notice their crass and pathetic attempts to obscure even non-controversial realities like the fact that the Pope traveled to Bethlehem, was photographed at the Wall besides the words "Free Palestine" and made a statement to the same effect?
They are completely depraved and experiencing an almost psychotic degree of delusion to dream that their disgusting attempts at spin and information control om behalf of evil will succeed, yet not only do they persist they actually increase the intensity and brazenness of their propaganda.
They love promoting Neo-Liberal economic policies, I say let them live by the rules they seek to impose on others, the BBC should be a voluntary pay per view service. Those who want it can pay for it, those who do not want it should not have to pay for it.
I disagree completely with your assertions that the BBC World Service's coverage of the Pope's visit to the Middle East was incomplete, biased and propagandist. The BBC covered ALL the events you mention - the visit to the "separation wall"; the photo op by the "Free Palestine" message, and so on.
If you go to the news section of the BBC web site, you will find numerous reports on the papal visit, with photos, videos and audio material. The World Service's flagship broadcast, "Newshour", devoted a lengthy segment to the visit, in which the political implications of it were discussed in some detail. I am just one of its many listeners, but in my opinion, you are mistaken and the BBC World Service thoroughly deserves its worldwide listener base and its international reputation for excellent and fair reporting.
On a more specific point, you seem to disapprove of the fact that a recent World Service broadcast started with the Brussels shooting story and devoted more time to that then to the shootings in California. The Brussels shootings occurred some nine hours after those in California and was thus more of a "breaking news" story, with which news broadcasts conventionally start. All the shootings were horrific and devastating for the witnesses and for those who lost loved ones. But sadly, such shootings are currently rather more common in the USA than in Europe, so more extensive initial coverage of the Brussels story was inevitable. And, of course, in view of the apparent rise of anti-semitism in Europe, such a shooting, especially at the time of the European Parliamentary elections, rendered it still more newsworthy. I suspect that you find this fact unpalatable, but I'm afraid that doesn't affect the newsworthiness of the actual story. However, if you remain unconvinced and wish to vent your anger to the producers, you'll undoubtedly be able to find a link to email them somewhere on the World Service web site, or on the more public forum of the relevant BBC Facebook, Twitter, etc. pages.
The point about the BBC website providing a more complete coverage of the Pope;s visit to Palestine is correct. Although I would suggest that the reach and importance of the BBC online is dwarfed by it's broadcast efforts.
Perhaps I should have made myself clearer. The Brussels shooting and the California shooting were both relatively stale stories at the time of broadcast. Neither story deserved to be anywhere near the top story at that time. The BBC's choice to omit all footage of the Pope in the West Bank from their television broadcast is an extraordinary and bizarre editorial decision at any time.
You refer to a rise in anti-Semitic violence in Europe. I would suggest that this is simply one of many media driven canards designed to preserve the narrative of Jewish victimhood and to obscure the fact that Israel is a rogue nuclear state that deprives the Christian and Muslim populations of Palestine of their inherent human rights on a daily basis, operates a naked system of apartheid in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and is up to it's neck in false flag terrorism.
Former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky's books provide a very interesting insight into the shenanigans the Israel intelligence services engage in.
This quote comes from page 4-5 of "the Other Side of Deception" and funnily enough relates to previous operations in Belgium.
"It involved a veteran case officer named Barda, who in 1984 had tracked down and contacted a band of renegade Belgian lawmen who were originally formed by NATO as an anti Communist body to be activated in case of a Communist invasion. This plan, which was called Operation Gladiator, was never put into action, but NATO neglected to dismantle these special cells, and so the Mossad stepped in to make use of one of them.
The dormant cell was activated with the consent of the Belgian Secret Service along with Mossad's antiterrorism advisory section
Barda made it clear to the Belgians that in order to create a public outcry for the strengthening of the Security Services, extreme measures were needed-that is, terrorist atrocities that could be blamed on the Communists."Hesitation should be left to environmentalists and bleeding heart democrats." he told them.
In addition to the NATO cell of right-wing lawmen, the Belgian secret service could draw from a deep well of right-wing fanatics-including a fascist party called Westland New Post, or so it was reported by sources from within the Mossad. Under the auspices of the Belgian Secret Service, this new combined right-wing element, which included several active policemen,carried out a series of robberies with extreme violence,eventually earning the nickname "the Murderers of Brabant". In September and November 1985, they hit several supermarkets and carried out the assassination of a Belgian minister. They also engaged in several truck hijackings that were later attributed to crooks who were "killed in the chase". The attacks were not financially motivated. Their purpose was terror and the destabilisation of the Belgian government which was leaning left. Three members of the group had to leave the country in 1985.
They escaped to Israel and were given new identities by the Mossad, as part of the initial agreement with the Belgian extreme right wing."
According to the Wikipedia page "Brabant Killers" sixteen civilians were murdered during three robberies in late 1985.
Ultimately I suppose, you are correct, I am biased against the controlled Western media in general. It was unfair to single out the BBC when every single major Western outlet is staffed exclusively by professional liars dedicated to the promotion of War, to the protection of the September 11th and other Gladio B criminals and any other shameless and despicable lie they are instructed to spread

The big differences are while Seung-Hui Cho was popular with the girls, Elliot Rodger was not. The results remain the same. These affluent and well educated young men could not stand the competition of life and exact “retribution to society” with gun violence.
Could it be the case that there are some similar patterns in the upbringing of these killers? Are they growing up in racist family environment? Were they are fed with superiority complex? Were they fed with a sense of innate superiority that does not equate to their actual individual talents? Are there patterns in genetics, family environment, educational training, societal state, etc. that could explain how these monsters are produced?

Tangier was like a second home to me, my wife, Soumaya, had grown up there. Abdesalam Akaaboune, lived in the Kasbah, the oldest part of the town, in a rambling riad (a large Moroccan house) called the Palais de Ben Abou that dated back 800 years. Coincidentally, ***Abdesalam had once held a position in Moroccan security similar to the one Mr. Gill held in India***, but had long since retired from active service to become a businessman and property developer. The house was like the castle in Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast, with spiral staircases, secret rooms, and courtyards with fountains.
Abdesalam was a colorful local figure whom the family nicknamed the Pink Panther. Impeccably, and sometimes outrageously, dressed, he would swoosh around town in his signature Panama hat. Everyone knew Akaaboune. The Rolling Stones had recorded "Continental Drift" in his palace, and Bernardo Bertolucci and John Malkovich had stayed with him when shooting The Sheltering Sky. He used to own the trendiest jazz club in Africa, and when you stayed chez Akaaboune, the doorbell would constantly ring; guests, known and unknown, would appear; and musicians would play until the early hours, sitting in the courtyard under twinkling Mediterranean stars. His home was legendary. ***He was my father-in-law and my best friend all at the same time.***
Abdesalam met us at the airport in his Panama hat. Tall and lithe, he danced rather than moved. He had bushy eyebrows, and Inspector Clouseau mustache, and a kind yet mischievous grin. His face was dominated by the vulturelike Akaaboune nose, which accentuated his charisma.

So why the guns? We soon found out that Mr. K. P. S. Gill, former director of the Indian Police Service (the Indian equivalent of chief of the CIA), was the chairman of the largest antiterrorism think tank in the world - the South Asia Terrorism Portal. Although semiretired, Mr. Gill is the first person the Indian state governments pull in when problems arise. He was responsible for eradicating terrorism in Assam, Punjab, and Gujarat; and was now here in Chhattisgarh to rid the rural area of the terrorism of the Naxalites - a Maoist extremist group that was dedicated to undermining the political infrastructure of India...

An Untitled Signing: Director Peter Rodger
LOS ANGELES
--
Director Peter Rodger, whose work spans spots and features, has joined Untitled, the L.A.-based commercial production company headed by founders/executive producers Jim and Kristin Evans.
Between his spot directorial endeavors, Rodger spent three years creating the nonfiction film Oh My God (Hugh Jackman, Ringo Starr) and collaborated with Gary Ross as second unit director on the motion picture blockbuster The Hunger Games. He also directed for the latter the propaganda film for the fictional “Capitol” in the story.
Rodger comes to Untitled after stints with Bandito Brothers and Recommended Media. He is looking forward to creating shortform stories for the advertising industry again. “I love commercials. The short, sharp timelines; the variety; working with interesting people all the time; shooting in multiple countries; using state-of-the-art equipment; understanding the nuance of fashion, of culture and of contemporary thought processes; and mainly telling compelling stories in 30 or 60 seconds.”
Rodger said he was drawn to Untitled for its directorial talent as well as the support provided by exec producer Jim Evans and the company’s sales force consisting of reps Tracy Bernard, Sarah Jenks, Ann Asprodites and Siobhan McCafferty.
Both cheeky and breathtaking, Rodger’s portraiture and perceptive images provide an usually strong foundation for his insightful storytelling.
Rodger acquired his eye and penchant for fine art photography from his father, George Rodger, the renowned photojournalist and co-founder of Magnum Photos.

In 1983, after a tour of North Africa, Dissidenten set up camp in Tangier, Morocco. The American composer and author Paul Bowles introduced them to many Moroccan musicians. ****The Dissidenten studio was established at the Sultan's Palace in Tangier with the help of Abdessalam Akaaboune, one of the most influential powers behind the Arabic music-scene.**** (The Stones work at his place since the days of Brian Jones). Dissidenten's second album Sahara Elektrik was produced at his palace.
