Xavier Rolet on a sales pitch spree in Montreal…Don’t waste your energy, we don’t « buy » it

The excellent National Post published on Thursday June the 16th a follow up to the still ongoing imbroglio surrounding LSE’s bid for TMX, versus the local bid presented by the Maple Group created out of several canadian banks and pension funds. Xavier Rolet, CEO of the LSE, and Thomas Kloet, chief executive of TMX Group Inc, paid a visit to corporate Quebec on last Wednesday in a Marriott Hotel ballroom. They went there basically to try wining over the opinion of Quebec’s financial elite who had nevertheless already presented a counter-offer through the Maple Group for the acquisition of TMX. As Premier Jean Charest does endorse Maple Group’s bid and that the Group includes many financial institutions based in Quebec, the task ahead was difficult.

First, we must all admit that Xavier Rolet does what he has to do: he gives his sales pitch like a professional. He presents arguments, elements of interest, etc, to try to win over a favorable opinion. As an example, he even said that Maple’s bid was based on « worry and fear ». Now, that’s a big statement but it misses the point. Those who back LSE’s bid think there is no problem with it, since Canada is an open market economy. O.K. But again, that’s not the point. TMX-LSE merger has been presented, from the start, as a « merger of equals » . I am not inventing it, these are their own words. But when you end up with only 45% of the shares, compared to 55% for the opposing merging company, that’s not a « merger of equals », it is an acquisition, a take-over in disguise. I am not an economist. I don’t even have an undergraduate degree in mathematics. But I know my numbers. 45 doesn’t equal 55. Period. Whatever way you want to put it, these two numbers will never equal. Are you taking us for fools? Continuer la lecture →

Christie Blatchford is back at her Post: Her first task, nailing down anti-prostitution bigots

It is good news for the National Post to have been able to recruit back somebody « behind enemy lines » (for those who don’t know, The Globe and Mail…) Personally, I think she made the right decision, you already know my call on that. She began last tuesday her new but somewhat previous and authentic job on a difficult task: trying to convince the Canadian public that prostitution is not a crime against humanity. Knowing that readers of the National Post may be a little more conservative or conventional possibly than the average one, it was not a small thing. Her article titled « Frank talk from the front lines » about prostitution, of tuesday June 14th, was more in fact a talk from the front lines of journalism itself.

How often do you hear, on the topic of prostitution, the usual following bullshit: prostitutes are all hooked on drugs, they are all beaten by their pimps, they were sexually abused when they were young, they are forced to do it, they don’t have any diploma, they all have STDs, etc? You must hear that on a regular basis. In fact, this is the official rhetoric on prostitution of our phony liberal-trudeauist-relativist ideology that came to prevail in the last decades. With this illusion put forward by the same people who brought confusion in the country using multiculturalism (and that alienated Quebec at the same time) of course, victimization and whining are key elements. It is not conceivable, for these people, that prostitutes could have a normal life, not use drugs, be able to pay their bills, even raise children, etc. They absolutely want to victimize prostitutes, and that says a lot about their psyche… Some of the reader commentaries on her article, published on thursday June 16th, were good illustrations of the incapacity for a large chunk of the public to really understand what prostitution is…because they have never been there. They don’t know what they are talking about.

What is going on between a client and a prostitute is, to begin with, a human relationship. That, the activists of « human rights » and glass knights of « human dignity » and all the other parasites that pollute our democratic life don’t care about. Knowing that they can draw attention by victimizing various groups and whining in their name on whatever issue, they continue to instill this cheap propaganda ad nauseam. I have a proposition for them: why don’t you take the boots, the whip and the lubricant and do it for a while. Then you could talk. I am tired of these bigots who have an opinion on everything but clearly don’t have a clue. There is a saying in the french language: « Ils ont des idées sur tout mais surtout des idées » . Literally translated, it gives « they have opinions on everything but mostly opinions » . That’s what we are dealing with here, anti-prostitution bigots who have an opinion. Blatchford didn’t condemn without knowing. She met with a prostitute in flesh and blood, like a true journalist does, she talked with her, put aside the widely spread propaganda and made her own opinion. That’s honest reporting. I just thought it was important to point that out for you, my followers, and I take the opportunity to welcome her back where she belongs…on this side of the front lines.

Le retour du Maoisme en Chine: Le dragon du communisme ne faisait-il qu’une sieste?

Je vous propose d’écouter cette entrevue avec Loïc Tassé, spécialiste de la Chine. Elle est intéressante à plusieurs égards. Nous savons que la Chine, après quelques décennies de Maoïsme après 1949, a pris un virage vers l’économie de marché tout en gardant ses structures politiques communistes. Un développement économique effréné a suivi, produisant un vaste exode des populations rurales vers les villes qui sont aujourd’hui devenues de véritables mégalopoles de plusieurs dizaines de millions de personnes. Un ami à moi qui est allé en Chine me disait que sur cent kilomètres, et à l’extérieur du centre-ville proprement dit, il n’a vu que des gratte-ciel dans une certaine ville. Selon Loïc Tassé, 1/3 des habitants de la Chine vivent maintenant dans les villes, alors qu’autrefois la population était plutôt rurale. Or, un chef politique chinois, Bo Xilai, chef du parti communiste de la ville de Chongqing et ancien ministre du commerce de la République Populaire de Chine, se fait le porte-étendard d’une nouvelle tendance depuis quelques années dans le régime chinois. En effet, un certain retour aux méthodes « maoïstes » semble se manifester. On le voit par le fait que de la propagande pro-maoïste est distribuée par l’équipe de Bo Xilai, par des arrestations massives de différentes personnes, par une surveillance de l’internet digne de l’Union Soviétique, etc.

Je partage les interrogations et les inquiétudes de Loïc Tassé sur ce sujet, bien qu’il ne les ait pas formulées de façon explicite dans cette entrevue. La Chine va-t-elle retourner réellement à ce qu’elle était auparavant, avec toute la barbarie totalitaire que cela suppose pour liberté d’expression, de presse, des citoyens, des entreprises? Quelles seront les conséquences pour les pays limitrophes? La Russie se laissera-t-elle séduire elle aussi par un retour au communisme? Les alliances commerciales de la Chine avec le régime de Chavez, de l’Iran et maintenant du Pakistan, amèneront-elles avec elles un virage vers le communisme de ces pays? Continuer la lecture →

The seastedding movement and Star Trek: « The Next Generation » of fascists sails offshore

This last show of Dave Emory’s For The Record looks at the seastedding movement, a new trend in fascist ideology that seeks to create independent « cities » offshore, i.e. outside any country’s jurisdiction, in gigantic seaships as big as aircraft carriers. Individuals such as Patri Friedman, grandson of fascist economist Milton Friedman, and Peter Thiel, co-founder of Pay-Pal, support this movement that intersects, among other elements of the corporate community, with the Koch Brothers, the Carlyle Group and Palantir firm. « Charter Cities » is another variation of this scheme in which control of particular cities will be turned over to corporations. Henry Ford, one of Adolf Hitler’s early backers and main source of inspiration, tried such an experiment with the city of « Forlandia » in Brazil, which failed.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder seems to have been working behind the scenes to implement a local mixture of seastedding in his own state. Applying the basic principals of Shock Doctrine, he recently submitted a budget for the State of Michigan that is expected to cut financial aid to cities and towns. As a result, evidently, much of those cities will end up in difficult financial situation. By pure « coincidence », Snyder is also pushing a bill that would give him and his administration the power to declare certain towns and cities in a state of financial « emergency ». The bill specifies that the Governor will then be in a legal position to appoint a kind of « czar » figure to manage the « crisis » for a particular town and that that czar will have the power to do virtually anything, including to terminate collective bargain agreements or any other contracts and to dismiss elected officials. In the end, the management of these towns in « crisis » will be turned over to corporations that will have the power to even terminate them at will. Continuer la lecture →

Écoutez cette excellente entrevue avec Jean-Marie Gélinas, du Mouvement Québec-Israël, et Daniel Laprès, acteur de la scène politique canadienne depuis plusieurs années. Ces deux invités font parti du groupe de citoyens de la rue St-Denis qui militent à chaque samedi pour défendre les droits de la communauté juive et de l’État d’Israël d’exister, ainsi que ceux de commerçants comme la boutique Le Marcheur et la boutique Naot, de vendre des produits israéliens. Radio-Shalom les a invités afin qu’ils puissent faire le point sur la situation du boycott de ces deux commerçant par le député Amir Khadir et le groupe PAJU qui dure déjà depuis plusieurs mois. Le boycott s’inscrit dans une campagne mondiale de délégitimation d’Israël pour lui enlever le droit d’exister. Pour une mise en contexte plus approfondie, voyez ces articles précédents:

Reality check on the Egyptian political situation by Caroline Glick

Read this excellent article on Egypt by Caroline Glick of the Center For Security Policy. Most of us in the western world having been brainwashed by the media to believe that the « uprisings » in the Middle East were democratic, we now have to face a harsh reality and accept, so to speak, that democracy will not meet with these societies for a long time. Fascism is more likely to be their new political system, under the « guidance » and the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood. As sad as it may be, the « uprisings » will reveal themselves as having been only a show, a spectable in which their true intent was cloaked: the destruction of any remnants of democratic potential for the installment of a fascist theocratic regime.

Ofer Brothers Group business deals with Iran: Russ Baker and Caroline Glick analyses

Publié le par

These two articles are attempting to analyze the strange and curious decision made by the U.S. State Department to sanction Ofer Brothers Shipping, an Israeli company that is involved in business deals with Iran. Russ Baker’s article focuses on the awkwardness of the business deals themselves between two countries that are supposed to be arch-enemies. He underlines the increasingly concentrated wealth in the hands of a few Israeli families, which is, according to Baker, reminiscent of what happened in the U.S. in the past. Apparently, 20 families would control 25% of the country’s listed companies. Baker also alludes briefly to certain changes that occured in the economic and financial sectors of Israeli society, that made it depart from its socialist model of the first years following the Independance, to embrace the new economic model that is now accepted worldwide since the collapse of the U.S.S.R. and that is called globalism. Transnationalism, to refer to another term, affects all regions of the world and Israel is no exception.

Caroline Glick’s article, of the Center For Security Policy, brings the light rather on the intelligence aspects of the incident. She explains that numerous reports have literally poured since the announcement of the sanction by the State Department, that the Mossad and the IDF were using the company as a shell to infiltrate Iran. That certainly makes a lot of sens. Glick continues by saying that the sanction was deliberately made to humiliate Israel and that it has to be seen as a payback or retaliation for not complying with Obama’s policy on the Middle East, especially with the question of the 1967 lines. The decision might have been made, in all appearances, to deliberately sabotage the intelligence process of Israel and to weaken its public support in the U.S.

Whether the business deals were motivated just by pure greed or for intelligence purposes is hard to tell. Although I don’t reject Russ Baker’s analysis, I would tend personally to believe that the intelligence aspects of it was the key factor. For me, it is just another proof that Obama is not a friend of Israel. He couldn’t care less about what will happen to the Israeli people. He seems to be prefering to please his pseudo-democratic rioting friends in the Middle-East and their Muslim Brotherhood controllers. That’s sad but it seems that we have reached such a terrible predicament.

‘Team B II’ Members with ‘Israel: You’re Not Alone’

Check this video from the coalition « Israel: You’re Not Alone« . The coalition gave a press conference in Washington D.C. on May 23rd. Three members of « Team B II » and co-authors of the document Sharia: The Threat to America that exposes the infiltration of America and the western world by Muslim Brotherhood agents, joined the coalition. They are: Tom Trento, Gen. Jerry Boykin, and Frank Gaffney of the Center For Security Policy. What prompted the coalition to adress the press is, guess what, Barack Obama’s infatuation with the 1967 lines, which he clearly expressed earlier in May in a State Department declaration. This statement by Obama not only upset Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, but a certain number of « real » Americans as well, like the ones you can get acquainted with here in this video. I begin to think that Obama, maybe, has lost judgement. His policy on the Middle East is short-sighted, irresponsible and just crazy. In an earlier post, I came to the conclusion that he is no longer the man of the situation and that he will have to be replaced at the Presidential Election in 2012. But before that, those of us who really believe in democracy and in the liberal world, and that want to protect our civilization against the attacks made by barbaric and reactionary ideologies, must stand by Israel and the Jewish community. Real progressives support Israel. It’s not a matter of debate. This is how you manage to differentiate the real from the phony ones. Israel is the cradle of Judeo-Christian civilization and it must treated as such, not like Obama wants to treat it…almost like a Muslim or a dhimmi would do. Check this out.
