We should have an Elections thread or something... In France, I admire François Asselineau for his meticulous and commonsensical approach. He can not only quote the substantive source of what he publicly states but he's not afraid to talk about illegal wars and the clauses that force Europe to take sides irreverent of what people want from their leaders. He's an elegant figure in a race with candidates catapulted from the top that have never been elected and the abrasive self-righteousness of others. In a perfect world, you have intelligent and thoughtful leaders like Asselineau, who know their place and don't look to stoke sentiment or manipulate impressionable minds. Were I French, he'd get my vote.

Speaking of turn-offs... WT! with Obama!? Talk about not fasttracking to a UN job! The US do have a long history however of interference but was this little exercise really necessary? Macron has the depth of a 3D printed banking product who's never been tested. My guy didn't make it past the first round but I do have sympathy for a woman who has to work twice as hard for the same thing as men, and whose father she can't gag to keep from messing up. Say what you will but cruise holidays in France does not give you a window on French hearts. And since when does France - the birthplace of rights and freedoms and without who the US constitution would be some wiping paper - need schooling from the US!?! Fix your problems at home.

Ransomware. What a massive headache!! I recall in my last apartment there was a "secret" IT room on the 11th floor, next door to where a man flew off a balcony..., where the meter company (that interfaced over the national utility provider) - a holdover from the Reichman ownership, called Wyse Meter - piggybacked on people's Internet through the backdoor that was the smart meter some tenants like me were required to sign up for, allowing it unlimited access to data. I ended up locked out of my brand new Mac desktop within days, lost all my data while on my iPad during an auction, I saw my keypad enter amounts without me touching it. Weird. When I looked up Wyse Meter's board, there were people connected to a Rothschild kid with an IT firm that had nothing to do with hydro consumption. My foil hat is a Philip Treacy  I should add that my devices were further randomly gifted by my banker BF at the time, a sheepish odd man now in the banking backwaters of Thailand, and that my iPad' s serial number had been "modified" according to the tech helpline when I rang them up for help. |

What intrigue! We're all so hooked on technology but look how we are being dupped by that addiction! And that former banker BF! It reminds me of how I would stay over at a BF's apartment on the west coast and use his telephone in the morning after he left for work. I discovered that he had set up a "recorder answering phone" (under the bed) that would record all of my private, confidential conversations. (I used his house phone to save on cell phone units in the 1980's.) So he was spying on me. Turns out he wrote a screen play following that based on a lady character like me so he stole my identity. When i caught on to his "spying" i would disconnect the device when i had something salacious to talk about and re-connect before leaving. It was pretty sleazy on his part but glad i discovered it and threw him off the scent. Nothing is really private anymore. |

Kind of like Trump with Comey? Funny though how he wants things stricken from transcripts after meetings. I wonder though if the latest affair of passing classified info to Russians last week was really a test by some of his allies to check how amok his mouth can run when given sensitive intell'. I noticed his tan matched that square headed Labvov (?) guy. Either that or they use the same stuff as Valentino. Ransomware. What a massive headache!!

Helmut Kohl, Germany's ex-chancellor and architect of reunification in 1990, has died - he brought East and West Germany together after the fall of the Berlin Wall...
Together with President Mitterrand (France) - Kohl shaped the federal ideal of the European Union and laid the groundwork for the creation of the single currency - the EURO.
Thank you for this. I remember the trips with all the strange money...
Great statesman... RIP

Another Great passes away - Simone VeilSome people will find it counter to my usual narrative but let me clarify : I don't hate Jews. Veil was a Holocaust survivor, a family woman who held a woman's rights above personal sensibilities and as such, she was not only a great woman's woman but a great stateswoman. She was held with her mother and sister at Auschwitz. She was a feminist. She was President of the EU and Health Minister of France. I can appreciate her, from the standpoint of someone who cared for sick Jewish friends whether a neighbour doctor dying from pancreatic cancer to whom I brought deli food and spoonfed Matzoh Ball soup, taking turns with his niece to stay at his bedside... or visiting daily a lifelong junkie in a coma on a respirator until he was unplugged and I was the only one who cried for the poor guy... or as someone who visited Dachau and hightailed it out of Germany within days afterwards. Without making this about me, I didn't always feel so strongly but since I've been Palestine-d by them, my sympathy is viscerally linked to a people I've never met. I don't care for control freak, crooked mysogynistic Sionists whatsoever. And I cannot wait to meet with a good Muslim husband who will finally shelter me from them altogether and give me a peaceful life. R.I.P. Simone Veil

Hurricane Harvey is wreaking chaos on Texas with floods that will impact Louisiana too. Here in Qc, we had devastating floods as well so we wholeheartedly sympathize. 100 000 homes destroyedOur response here however hasn't been to issue demolition permits on time for people to rebuild before the 8 degree weather this morning or impending winter. No. Our governments stall on the reconstruction while throwing millions of dollars monthly at illegal immigrants and issuing them cheques within days, after building them army camps even faster to cushion the hardships brought on by... Trump. Alain Juppé was subtle enough yesterday while visiting Qc to remind us that economic refugees were not the same as asylum seekers. Bravo. No Haitians are lining the floor of the Mediterranean as we speak, and their ministers even came to supervise the smuggling operation. Let me be further politically incorrect in pointing out what I've already said in previous posts - smugglers fill the ranks of predominant street gangs who work under the local mobs who support the political party in power who broadcasts on Twitter that the doors to illegal immigration are wide open here. This is so orchestrated. But I digress. The next major issue after the flood will be health complications from exposure to mold. It's insidious and can cause seizures, respiratory issues, cancer etc. there really needs to be a speedy response by urban planners to come up with prefab housing (preferably eco-friendly) to spend as little time dwelling over disasters. 5 Eco-friendly prefab homes ready in days{footnote: In re: demolition permits of flooded areas, case of Rigaud. It's an expropriation scheme. Hudson-Rigaud is one department, but two vastly different towns. Developers are eyeing the precious waterfront real estate, owned by generations of French settlers. Hudson was once part of ancestral lands back in the 1750s, carved out of the seigneuries belonging to the parents of the last Governor of New France before he took his post. I know, because the "Viviry" river is actually the Vivarais river named after my family. (In 1750, my ancestor - who returned from Louisiana with the younger marquis de Vaudreuil and who was married to the seigneurie captain's daughter received the land as a gift, after selling his first one.) But today, with nouveaux riches wanting to move to Hudson, it has nowhere to expand...except in Rigaud's waterfront. So withholding demolition permits because the city decided to change by-laws preventing people from rebuilding the same homes is tantamount to attrition until people just give up and sell. It's revolting.} |

Trump at the UNIf the shoe were on the other foot, the world community would have acted on all the suspicions swirling around a leader, asked for an interim government or a change of regime if it went only by American standards. In the future, when America intervenes in internal affairs of other countries, it will be marred by much more doubt as to its righteousness and discernment in asserting a moral role like it has since WW2 and since Wilson's League of Nations yielded the United Nations. For decades, the US brokered its dominance by economically enrolling weakened nations. Now it wants dominance without cultivating the loyalties it has fostered. It's a pity it thought of breaking the umbilical cord now, under such a "leader". I'm not sure it's going to get the love it thinks it deserves or that a man whose intellectual framework harks back to the Mad Men era thinks he warrants. And leave it to Trump also to expose his country's weaknesses by talking as though the US depends on all other countries it has a huge trade deficit with, unless of course like his personal business dealings, he keeps a shadow economy going...?

In today's whacked-out feminism, one would say her overtness is empowering while it probably pleases her husband (?!?)... It's the Kardashian logic of throwing a pétard (or in their case, péta*** ~ note I changed my avatar for maximum convolution...) ahem, throwing a match and then claiming some obscure propriety. Then there are those who would outright criticize Hillary Clinton's pantsuits with the same vigour. Suffice it to say it's Brigitte Macron's husband who spent $30k on cosmetics in the first few months of his presidency  and there was no visible change in Mrs Macron's wardrobe. I speak as someone who loves Chloe Saint-Laurent's style on TV's Profilage (but on her, except for the vintage coats. I digress.) The real UN event will no doubt take place later. This one was just for ratings  , the Punk'd version... |
