Topic: Taki Theodoracopulos


In the News (Wed 23 Dec 09)

  
  washingtonpost.com: On a Right Wing and a Player
Theodoracopulos -- who maintains homes in London, New York and Gstaad, Switzerland, in addition to his yacht -- is a tad coy about how much money he's putting into the magazine.
In 2001, Theodoracopulos wrote a rambling column in the Spectator that excoriated Israel and Marc Rich, the fugitive Jewish financier pardoned by Bill Clinton, with such venom that the Spectator's publisher, Conrad Black, denounced it as anti-Semitic.
Theodoracopulos also enjoys reveling in his image as a playboy.

 THE FIGHT ON THE RIGHT: Neoconservatives versus Paleoconservatives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Taki Theodoracopulos: Fair characterization except the only thing I disagree with Steve's analysis is that I think that the neo-cons saw what was coming with the coming of Reagan, how people have finally caught on, and they just joined the bandwagon.
Taki Theodoracopulos: No, I don't agree with that because Samuel Francis does say that, but Samuel Francis splits people into--he thinks that what is referred to as paleo-conservatism--he thinks that we are patriots and that the neo-conservatives are nationalists.
Taki Theodoracopulos: We are being cautious, we're not being pessimistic.

 The Man Who Knows Too Much [Free Republic]
Taki reminds many people of James Bond himself— he has the worldliness, the sang-froid, the insouciant charm that never fails to captivate, and the ability to lurch through crisis after crisis and always land on his feet.
Taki is 64 and a phenomenon of nature, a breed of aristocrat that is becoming extinct.
Taki is mellowing a bit—last year at the Royal Enclosure at Ascot, he ended a feud with the Aga Khan that began 40 years ago over a pretty girl— but not completely.

 Taki Theodoracopoulos
Taki is a former captain of the Greek karate team, competed in the Davis Cup and is a keen skier.
Taki is most famous for his lifestyle which involves a large consumption of alcohol, a great deal of gambling, and by all accounts, the pursuit of many young women.
Taki sent a letter to the magazine, threatening legal action against being labelled a "cocaine dealer." The Eye was happy to issue a disclaimer, stating "Taki is not a cocaine dealer, merely a convicted cocaine smuggler, a liar, and fascist sympathiser." No legal action ensued.

 Signs of the Times - Taki Theodoracopulos Backs Pat Buchanan's New Magazine, American Conservative
The heir to Greek shipping and textile megafortune, the 63-year-old proudly boasts of his boozing and notorious philandering, gleefully sticks pins in stuffed shirts, liberals and phonies and appears to be having a whale of a good time outraging his targets which include all the high priests of political correctness and high priestesses of feminism.
Taki shares partner Buchanan's displeasure with the so-called neo-conservatives who constitute what the old right nowadays calls the "war party" that conglomeration that is actively promoting a war with Iraq.
Taki has digs in London, New York and Gstaad, Switzerland, owns a luxurious yacht which replaces the one which somehow got blown up and is reluctant to say how much of his exchequer into which he has dipped to help fund the magazine.

 Dar Al Hayat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Buchanan is a newspaper and television critic, and a senior advisor; whereas Taki [Theodoracopulos], is a Greek millionaire and a famous playboy, who lives in London, and writes in the most prominent newspapers and magazines on both sides of the Atlantic.
Taki is a constant supporter of Arabs, maybe because he is Greek, and thus, a well-informed neighbor.
Buchanan and Taki deserve much more than my praise; all I would say about them is that I am a conservative by nature, but the neo-conservatives were about to make me change my mind, as they are hideous people, and the enemies of peace in the Middle East and around the world.

 My Way - Page Six
OUR favorite conservative, Taki Theodoracopulos, began 2003 in police custody in Gstaad, Switzerland, on suspicion of drunk-driving after he slammed into a tree.
Taki, who recently co-founded The American Conservative magazine with Patrick Buchanan, inspected the damage and informed the concierge at a nearby hotel to take care of it in the morning.
Looking on the bright side, the last time Taki was arrested he ended up with a best-seller, "Nothing to Declare," which detailed his 1984 bust at Heathrow Airport and his subsequent three months in prison.

 02/20/03 - Diversity vs. Freedom: Taki Wanted for Thought Crime
Taki, you see, writes a regular column for the London Spectator, a conservative weekly, and he is best known for his outspokenly incorrect sentiments about race, sex and other indelicate subjects.
Hence, when Taki published a column in the Jan. 11 Spectator with the headline "Thoughts on Thuggery," the long ears of the Yard began to prick.
With reference to the recent murders of two fl girls in Birmingham, Taki wrote,"Only a moron would not surmise that what politically-correct newspapers refer to as 'disaffected young people' are fl thugs, sons of fl thugs and grandsons of fl thugs...

The most recent Thought Criminal to be hauled into the Yard's lineup is one Taki Theodoracopulos, journalist and playboy, who for obvious reasons is better known simply as "Taki" to friends and enemies alike.
The kicker is that some years ago, Taki, who inherited an immense amount of money from his father and is a bit of a jetsetter in what the Independent calls "Eurotrash plutocratic circles," was busted at Heathrow airport for possession of cocaine.
Taki would be well advised not to count on the deathless support of his conservative editors either.

Taki was soon joined by another major man of the world, Reinaldo Herrera, who is wed to the brilliant designer Carolina Herrera.
Taki proceeded to tell us a version of a story reported in the New York Post's Page Six on Jan. 4 about how he was arrested in Switzerland after a minor car accident.
Taki has been incarcerated before, in 1984 for going through English customs with mysterious powder under his nose.

Taki, normally so right-wing he's off the charts, isn't sounding like much of a fascist these days either, even if he does have a dog named Benito.
But though Taki seems quite proud that his bad-boy genes have been successfully passed on to the next generation, he still deplores the coarseness of the culture.
As for Iraq, Taki doubts whether, for the average citizen, Saddam's dictatorship is quite so nightmarish as it's said to be in the media.

 The Spectator - who' s taking responsibility   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
When I received an email from a friend [aka Aunty Sharon] alerting me to an article she had read in Private Eye relating to a columnist in The Spectator, Taki Theodoracopulos who identified fl people as the root of all evil, I can’t deny that I rushed out to do my research.
The Spectator was established in 1828 and Taki [and it seems also by nature], has been writing for the magazine for 25 long, hard years.
Taki has been allowed to write slanderous thoughts of every race, and creed that exists which are disrespectful in every way and Boris it seems, intends to do absolutely nothing about it (the decent thing would be to sack him).

 New Partisan - New Partisan - Small Magazine, Small Man
But it does raise the question of whether Taki’s main interest is in his views or merely in seeing his name in print somewhere or other.
We know Taki is a function of his riches, and they are something of great importance to him and more than simply because they provide him with a snobbish sense of entitlement.
Taki’s erstwhile friend George Szamuely once told me that he had re-written Taki’s columns when they’d appeared in The New York Post, greatly improving them from their original versions in British publications.

 FORWARD : News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Much of the biweekly's debut issue, published this week with an initial print run of 17,000 magazines, is devoted to articles opposing an American attack on Iraq, as well as fierce critiques of contemporary conservative stances on trade, immigration, foreign policy and economic issues.
Buchanan, Theodoracopulos and American Conservative executive editor Scott McConnell have all been outspoken in their criticism of the Israeli right and what they see as the malign influence of the pro-Israel lobby on American foreign policy.
The collaboration between Buchanan, a social conservative known for his fiery "culture war" rhetoric, and the flamboyant, yacht-loving Theodoracopulos, who boasts in his columns in the New York Press about "chasing girls" and was jailed in 1984 for cocaine possession, has already raised some eyebrows.

Today marks the debut of the American Conservative magazine, a collaboration of Pat Buchanan, former New York Post editorial-page editor Scott McConnell and Taki Theodoracopulos, a worldly and acerbic columnist to be reckoned with.
Theodoracopulos, a Greek shipping heir and longtime columnist for Britain's Spectator, is supplying start-up cash for the magazine.
Theodoracopulos explained the new magazine in a recent column published in the Press: "Our motto is that we are traditional conservatives mugged by the neocons Pat, Scott and I were conservatives when the Podhoretzes of this world were schmoozing Uncle Joe Stalin.

 Excite - Page Six
FORMER presidential contender Pat Buchanan got grilled about his partnership with hedonistic Greek aristocrat Taki Theodoracopulos at the launch of their new magazine, American Conservative, in Washington on Wednesday.
Buchanan, who's big on family values and tough on immigration, was asked whether Taki, who was busted for bringing cocaine through British customs in 1984, isn't exactly the kind of immigrant he wants to keep out of the country.
Taki admits the twice-monthly magazine - aimed at real right-wingers rather than Chardonnay-sipping "neo-conservatives" - probably won't make money.

The American Conservative, financed and influenced by the shipping heir Taki Theodoracopulos, and edited by Scott McConnell, a former editorial page editor of The New York Post, is an attempt to garner intellectual capital, not market share, and a fairly rarified slice at that.
Theodoracopulos was convicted of cocaine possession in 1984, a fact he himself has written about, and would much prefer a day of yachting to a day among commoners.
A jet-setter who divides his time in the United States and Europe and writes Taki's Top Drawer for New York Press, a weekly alternative paper in New York City, he draws on his personal relationships with the dukes and duchesses of government and business to add sparkle to his hard-right view of global matters.

Taki is a long-time critic of the US government’s unquestioning support for Israel.
If nothing else, given their decidedly cosmopolitan outlooks, we won’t endure the spectacle of Taki and McConnell trying to pass themselves off as pitchfork populists.

 JS Online: Pugnacious Pat Buchanan finds a feisty aristocrat
Unlike Kristol and other neocons, Buchanan and Theodoracopulos favor strict controls on immigration and oppose globalization and the proposed conflict with Iraq.
His columns in the weekly New York Press and the British magazine the Spectator are at least as politically incorrect as any of Buchanan's polemics.
In his column in the first issue of the American Conservative, Theodoracopulos writes, "My main aim is to remind Americans that since we are a predominantly white society rooted in Christianity, our responsibility to immigrants is to bring them into our culture, not the other way around."

 israelinsider: When publishers and writers clash over "Blood Libels"
But this is what Conrad Black, publisher of The Spectator, did earlier this month in response to an anti-Israel and anti-Jewish attack by columnist Taki Theodoracopulos that appeared in the pages of his own publication.
The debate was triggered by Theodoracopulos' unsubstantiated allegations concerning the Mossad's alleged role in tipping off Jewish financier Marc Rich that the US Air Force was about to force down his plane.
He goes on to accuse the Spectator of censoring his anti-Israel remarks, insinuating that this was because the magazine is published in heavily Jewish New York.

Below is an extremely well-argued defence of Israel that appeared in Britain's The Spectator and was penned by Conrad Black, the Canadian non-Jewish proprietor of The Spectator, The Jerusalem Post, London's Daily Telegraph and several other well-regarded publications.
It is a response to an extraordinary and antisemitic outburst by The Spectator's Social Columnist Taki Theodoracopulos, in the previous week's edition, but it is also notable for taking on the British media and bureaucratic establishment's strongly anti-Israel biases.
He expressed a hatred for Israel and a contempt for the United States and its political institutions that were irrational and an offence to civilised taste.
