Due to serious\u00a0difficult\u00e9<\/em>s techniques <\/em>(technical difficulties) caused by a wave of sophisticated cyber attacks targeting The French Blog<\/a>, the “Jacques Brel” post scheduled for today is postponed to an ulterior date.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A message left by “les hackers professionnels<\/em>” who targeted The French Blog t\u00f4t ce matin <\/em>(earlier this morning): “La cyberguerre ne fait que commencer<\/em>” (“The cyberwar” is only starting”)<\/strong><\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/p>\n

A primary investigation conducted within the entourage<\/strong><\/em> of the wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy has so far indicated that a team of highly-trained professional hackers based in the French palatial residence, le Palais de\u00a0l’\u00c9lys\u00e9e<\/em>, <\/em><\/strong>was to blame for the recent wave of cyber attacks to which The\u00a0French Blog<\/a><\/strong> has fallen prey.<\/p>\n

According to the same unnamed source, the presidential warfare started shortly after la premi\u00e8re <\/em>Dame de France<\/em><\/strong> (the First Lady of France), Carla Bruni<\/strong>, whose native tongue is Italian, and who is reportedly an assiduous reader and enthusiast fan of The French Blog<\/a><\/strong>, has decided to stage a\u00a0poisson d’avril <\/em><\/strong>(April’s fools) prank to her husband, especially after reading this one post published a few months ago on The French Blog, titled “A Sarkozy-turned-Borat says: \u201cG\u00eeve me your tears, le Gypsy!\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Carla
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The article in question, a mini-pamphlet criticizing what it considered the unfair treatment of la communaut\u00e9 Rom <\/em><\/em><\/strong>(Romani people) by the French President, has apparently suggested the idea to the First Lady -as part of an elaborate April’s fools joke- to organize and sponsor a study group composed among other researchers of famous French and international\u00a0\u00e9<\/em><\/strong>thnologues et g\u00e9n\u00e9alogistes<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em>whose main objective was to prove the “Gypsy ancestry<\/strong>” of her husband.<\/p>\n

As it turned out, French President Nicolas Sarkozy<\/strong>, whose full last name is also spelled\u00a0S\u00e1rk\u00f6zy de Nagyb\u00f3csa<\/strong>, as his family hails originally from la Hongrie <\/em><\/strong>(Hungary), where an important community of Roms still lives to this day, has not very much appreciated the poisson d’avril <\/em><\/strong>(April’s fools) facetiously\u00a0concocted by his wife.<\/p>\n

\"\"C’est dans le besoin qu’on reconnait ses vrais amis <\/em>(“A friend in need is a friend indeed”): Mobarek and Ben Ali, \u00e0<\/em> la r\u00e9<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>scousse <\/em>(to the rescue)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consequently, and according to the information relayed by the same\u00a0\u00c9lys\u00e9e <\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/em>source, the French President has promptly enlisted the services of\u00a0deux de ses amis de longue date <\/em><\/strong>(two long-standing friends of his): Former president of Tunisia<\/strong>, Zine el-Abidine\u00a0Ben Ali<\/strong>,\u00a0and former president of Egypt<\/strong>, Housni Mubarek<\/strong>, who then immediately provided him with the same shadowy teams of Internet security experts they had used during their respective soul\u00e8vements populaires<\/em><\/strong> (civil unrests), and who were behind the cracking down on the websites and social networks of their political dissidents!<\/strong><\/p>\n

A porte-parole <\/strong><\/em>(spokesperson) of The French Blog<\/strong>,\u00a0speaking under condition of anonymity, has refused to confirm or deny the allegations, but promised that an official statement will be released on Monday, April 4th, 2011<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
