Here is Ben Braffman, one of Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s attorneys. In this series of videos, he speaks before the Ultra-Orthodox Legal Forum in 2009. In his presentation, he focuses on a number of things that, according to him, the Jewish community should be aware of to be able to avoid problems with society in general and with the justice system in particular. In the light of what is happening to DSK, I think the importance of that conference cannot be underestimated. As an experienced attorney, he obviously has seen a lot of things, good and bad. So his advice to the community has a price and a weight that should to be taken into consideration. I just thought it would be interesting to have such a point of view a few weeks after the arrest of DSK. Considering the historical anti-semitism and the present attempts to delegitimize Israel and anything that has to do with Jewishness, members of the community must realize that the light is always heavier on a Jew that on the average man. This has to be remembered. Continuer la lecture →

Make Love not War: my response to the American « Justice » for Dominique Strauss-Kahn

Tired of these incessant wars throughout the world? Tired of the military-industrial complex that makes money with the blood of innocents, of the poor, of children? Tired of their political games to control the world, to seize power for their own benefit? Tired of an elite that will go to any lenghts in order to reach its goals, including humiliating and dishonouring so many men and women throughout history? This is my response to the American « Justice ». Today, I unleash my army of Cat-Women. Because, frankly, dear Americans, you’re so puritan, uptight and conservative. Some real fun, sex and pleasure would benefit you greatly. I have picked a video for you. I hope you will like it. It says: « Destination unknown ». That’s what happens when somebody has some fun. Good things may follow, in terms of happiness, development and joy. Look at these young women. Aren’t they beautiful and sexy? Make love not war, that’s the key. I will let you go now, hoping you will learn to have some fun and stop these stupid smearing games. Because, between you and me, we know Strauss-Kahn was smeared, it is so obvious. In the end, if you can’t compete on the debate level, using ideas, argumentation and discussion, you definitely are a pity as a nation. I hope this video will inspire you.

The arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn: Can we resist putting on the grill a powerful socialist…or the King of Jerusalem?

Well, my friends, I don’t know if he did the things that we are told he did. Maybe, maybe not. But there are a few interesting connections that I would like to point out here. First, as heroic anti-fascist researcher Dave Emory mentioned, Strauss-Kahn apparently suggested the creation of a world currency that « would challenge the dominance of the dollar and help curb future financial instability » as reported by The Guardian. Well, I think that already there, you have substantial motives for a set up, a trap that would relegate Strauss-Kahn out of any post of influence in the financial or political world. As you may know, the people who control the U.S. dollar are not saints, heroes or brave hearts. If they accumulated the immense wealth that they possess, it is precisely because they do the kind of things that the vast majority of people can’t for moral reasons. Strauss-Kahn for them is just a pawn that can easily be put aside and destroyed.

Second, what strikes me as irregular and feeds my perception of the event as being a set up, is the presence of cameras in the hearing room before the judge. Normally, judges don’t allow access to the media during that phase of the judicial process for obvious reasons. If you look at the various elements of the case, you realize that almost everything has been done to humiliate the boss of the IMF. Number 1, he has been arrested and handcuffed before being found guilty of any crime. Number 2, he has been brought in the middle of the night before the press, again in handcuffs, during his transfer to a police station. Number 3, as I mentioned, cameras were allowed in the hearing room. Number 4, he has been denied bail even if he has not been found guilty of any crime and that he doesn’t present any real danger for the American society. Number 5, he has been sent to a maximum security prison, Rikers Island, a tough penitentiary unit populated by street gangs. And number 6, he has been placed in a row within Rikers where you find people with transmissible deseases. Question: does the american money elite wishes that the IMF boss would somehow meet with some unfortunate accident here? Surrounded by streets gangs and by contagious detainees, that may very well happen. Continuer la lecture →
