Chers tous,
Je tenais à faire une mise au point, suite aux différents articles de presse concernant le dépôt de plainte. Vous avez été quelques uns à me faire part de votre incompréhension. Je tenais donc à préciser les conditions dans lesquelles s'est fait ce dépôt de plainte.
Mon entourage mais aussi des journalistes m'ont parlé à plusieurs reprises de mon intervention sur Canal +, et vous l'aurez peut-être remarqué, je l'ai toujours pris sur le ton de l'humour. La différence avec, non pas le courriel, mais les courriels que j'ai reçus de cette personne, c'est qu'au vu de leur nombre et de l'insistance des propos qu'ils contenaient, je ne pouvais plus considérer sa démarche comme une simple plaisanterie.
Je me suis sentie menacée. Au delà d'être une élue, je suis une femme et une mère, et j'ai tout simplement eu peur pour ma sécurité et surtout celle de ma fille. Bien à vous, Rachida Dati
To be honest, the statement makes things worse. (stay tuned)
Mrs Dati is a well known politician, a former Secretary, a powerful person with powerful high profile friends, the type of police intervention proves it.... Who's going to buy she felt threatened when she didn't even bother, number one, answer the first email to tell the sender his conduct was inappropriate and warn him of the legal consequences of his actions should he decide to send more mails, number two, she doesn't feel the need for an antispam, number three she didn't bother blocking the sender's address making him confortable to go on with more, number four will she dare telling the public she didn't know how to block a sender...?
Now what? Was it something to do? I guess not but let's be honest when you're powerful you can expect some of that even more of that when you make such a mistake on tv (fellation instead od inflation)and as long as it doesn't contain specified threats a very simple reminder of the legal consequences does the job. A former Gov Secretary can take the heat... from an ordinary folk sending a mail... and more than one? I will recommend him to sue the lady as I feel he was somewhat encouraged to send more since he got no answer to his first and the second didn't bounce...?

That's how I look at the first actions for the future lobbies. Through the very clear 1992 time table of events, build up the case for the impossible task for anyone without time and/or a "foreign education" to truly exercise the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights according to the spirit of the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
Now how naive is it to think the french leadership shameful conduct of public affairs is largely ignored among the EU countries...?, and the breach of the People's trust somewhat acceptable?

RYANAIR leaves the Marseille french airport over a bitter dispute :
jeudi 14 octobre 2010
I just wonder what Mahmoud may be expecting should a power ten times more numerous than Iran is had decided to bully his country, promise its destruction for the purpeous of stealing its oil reserves and eradicate the people….?
Would he wish the ugly democratic west to stand, protest and may be act to protect the Iranian People?
Pretty strange altogether to take pride in showing force and muscles to confront one of the smallest community in the world. I don’t even get how you can get appreciated for doing so.
France :…? ? ? On strike. An amasing world.
Most of those on strike and demonstrating are less protesting the “legal age “ to retire than they’re protesting their working conditions. They can’t see themselves doing what they do and how they do it for two more years they initially imagined the hell would stop…. I don’t know if the gov is unpurposely entertaining the confusion?
Does it tell you something about how poor the management, the career management are?
Worse, making me sad… to be forced to watch that, I haven’t heard, not even once, wether it is from politicians or employers union how the proposed change of age to retire will be implemented regarding the career management changes and the plans employers unions have to make the change as smooth as possible?
Appalling!
Basel Agreement May Stifle Global Trade, Wal-Mart Supplier Says
Frankly Basel can’t do worse than some excess in currency reserves, can’t in just a few words flush the argument that trade finance is wrongly associated with financial derivatives but without doubts an excess of stress in world trade only caused by a limited availability of trade finance show a structural problem of how the exporters companies finance their activities, are probably undercapitalised leading to their inability to use more conventionnal bank financing and lack an access to a mature commercial paper market, I can easily imagine possible in emerging countries?
Panic Buying Starts as Strikes Halt French Refining
That's all I got for now. I did post the link for you to read as it's not that often you get that straight forward wording of the support and clear up some myth about lobbying. To be absolutly honest, at the same it's not possible to have an informed public support without the Press, the Press sometime getting from lobbies a sided explanation of events it confronts with the other side, a job the Press does even thou sometime I do complain my side doesn't get enough....

The Board believes that the new Basel III arrangements will see regulators raise requirements relating to minimum capital ratio levels and they may accelerate the transition timetable. To accommodate such increases, the Group may have to constrain RWA growth, sacrificing these growth opportunities, unless new capital is raised.
You rate the eventual acceleration at?

I have to admit I have asked myself why the french president and his gov started the use of "Roms" to talk about the illegal status of several, in the hundreds or thousands, illegal settlements? I was even more surprised the Press (continental) did the same and stunned at Mrs Redding outburst...I can't help to ask why?
For any gov or state person, the fact that several individuals in an illegal situation belong to a minority in their home country is absolutely irrelevant, should be? The french gov has only to know of the citizenship, Romanian, Bulgarian or else and is right to return citizens of any country unable to support themselves, asking their governments to please cater for their citizens, offer them jobs and as much as possible decent opportunities to serve their pursue of happiness?
I just read some comments just as outrageaous about a Supreme Court judge spouse, what is it about?

"I vote in elections, I pay taxes, I pledge allegiance to the flag, and I am a Giants fan -- I am glad they won yesterday," Rauf quipped
The New York Post has researched the Board of Election voting record and they report that he has not voted since 2001. Moreover, he isn't even registered to vote. Oh My!

France definitly the twilight zone I think
Jon and Stephen are at odds with the Tea Party but I just wonder what they would be doing if they were here….. not happy with what you got home, listen to that, (again I ‘m writting to you, how weird really…..) Thanks to Michael in New York I know you guys have planned some rally to oppose Glenn, “Restore sanity or Keep the fear alive”, I expected something a bit lighter, you know…. but well, 1st Amend is alive and well so I’m watching all that with some goodwill.
Has Stephen recover from both his testimony in Congress and the news he is a Patriot and could very well allow his pride to florish, joining the Tea Party movement?
How are Neil, Geraldo, Bill the Great, Erika, Anna, Jamie and Wolf? (when you have a minute)
So, the twilight zone…., I mean that’s something…. I heard today the french Secretary of Immigration (and no kidding) and National Identity…. not to mention prior to be Secretary of Sarky’s administration, he used to call him, a neocon Bush inspired with a french passport…. don’t ask me cause I don’t know what it can mean) about the french citizenship…. which happens to be according to the guy something more…than just that?? what? again don’t ask me….not sure about what the daBIPBIP thing is…. anyway debating how the citizenship is acquired and opposing a guy who acquired the thing through his birth place he mentioned his own situation, a french born abroad, something he got through “blood”…. from his mum and dad…..his citizenship. Not that long ago, the president and himself in a ceremony for Immigrants receiving their citizenship emphasized that french was not a race or an ethnie. A very true thing, so true, you just wonder how it could be transmitted through “blood” then I guess? How Eric got his cititzenship?
I mean ???
