The highwayman Federico Jiménez has confessed: he works at setting Spain on fire for money. He makes this abundantly clear in an interview published by El Mundo (subscription):El bandolero Federico Jiménez ha confesado: él se dedica a incendiar España por dinero. Lo afirma con claridad meridiana en una entrevista que publica El Mundo (pago):Q.- What do your children say when they listen to you? A.- When one of them does they tell me: «And could you not say that differently?». I reply: «Yeah, right, and how would you study in an American university if I said it differently?». They think that I make too many enemies, they are good and they don't want their father murdered or in trouble. They are strongly influenced by their mother, who is a disaster, so what they want is peeeace, peeeace...P.- ¿Qué dicen sus hijos cuando le escuchan? R.- Cuando alguno lo hace me dice: «¿Y no puedes decir eso de otra manera?». Yo le respondo: «Ya, e ibas a estudiar tú en una universidad americana si lo digo de otra manera...». Piensan que me busco demasiados enemigos, son buenos y no quieren que maten a su padre ni se meta en líos. Están muy influidos por su madre, que es un desastre, entonces lo que ellos quieren es paaaz, paaaz...It would be really nice that, in one of his radio programs, the highwayman explained to us how many insults each of the little one's American university classes is worth. That is, the accounts of sowing civil war. But in the meantime, listeners can make crunch their numbers... so we call ZP a "murderer". And a bunch of dollars for the kid. That we need to buy books for the college [in English in the original] so we use the microphones of the Church [Catholic, which owns the radio station where FJL has his talk show] to say that "the PSOE is submissive to ETA". And another shipment of dollars for the little one.Estaría muy bien que, en uno de sus programas radiofónicos, el bandolero nos explique a cuántos insultos sale cada asignatura del peque en la universidad americana. O sea, las cuentas del guerracivilismo. Pero mientras tanto, los oyentes ya pueden hacer sus cálculos: Que empieza un nuevo cuatrimestre... pues le llamamos "asesino" a ZP. Y venga a mandarle dólares al niño. Que hay que comprarle libros para el college... pues utilizamos los micrófonos de la Iglesia para decir que "el PSOE está sometido a la ETA". Y otra remesa de dólares para el chiquitín.

Has he mentioned who exactly his paymasters are?
And how is this playing in Spain?
It would be a matter of finding out what universit{y|ies} his children are studying at, and who pays their tuition. It's possible that they are there on fellowships/scholarships, which would only require a small push in the right direction during the admissions process.
This is friggin' scary. FJL is the editor of Libertad Digital, a "liberal" online news publication which syndicates the likes of Ann Coulter and which has an Alexa traffic rank of 1461, with 20 to 40 million page views per day. Nothing is 'mere'. — Richard P. Feynman

Following the US model, over the last few years a media, academic and ideological network agitates the peculiar phantoms of Spain's disintegration, the disappearance of the family, or the persecution of catholicism. Nevertheless, this ideological enthusiasm is far from free of charge. Just Jimenez Losantos, one of the biggest gurus of the new extreme right, pockets 800K a year for the work of insulting every day from the airwaves

Of course, all that is enabled by Murdoch et al, but it's not conscious strategy at work in the blogosphere, just the constant pounding, the flood of US based views of the world posted.
