Le parquet de Paris a décidé l'ouverture d'une enquête préliminaire dans le cadre de la plainte déposée par Tristane Banon contre DSK pour tentative de viol. DSK a toujours affirmé que les faits évoqués par madame Banon étaient imaginaires.Ses avocats ont même déposé une plainte pour dénonciation calomnieuse...
A New York,la femme de chambre du SOFITEL qui prétend avoir été victime d'une agression sexuelle par DSK est décrédibilisée pour avoir menti sur les conditions de son entrée aux Etats Unis...
S'il s'avérait que DSK a menti dans l 'affaire Banon , sera -t -il pour autant décrédibilisé dans l' affaire qui l'oppose à la femme de chambre du SOFITEL?

BARROSO MUST EXPLAIN HOW EURO WILL SURVIVE
When MOODY'S downgraded the Portugal debt rating to the "junk bond" level, the President of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Manuel Barroso, himself a Portuguese national, became very critical of MOODY'S.
The downgrading was decided because there were fears that a second bail-out will be required for Portugal, just like the second bail-out which is imminent for Greece !!!
Greece is facing bankruptcy and the citizens know this. They are suffering and all the signs are that they want to overturn the current government and also all their previous leaders. The accumulated debts of what happened in the past cannot be paid for by increased taxes and measures of thrift by the suffering current majority !!!
To put it quite simply, the Greek Political Leaders of the past feathered their nests with increased pensions and salaries not only for themselves but also for civil servants. They had no consideration for the private sector !!! That is also why there is no quick fix available for Greece to solve its current problems. Greece needs to go bankrupt in order then to be able to recover.
Mr Barroso wants Greece to be bailed out, and, to be even more clear, Portugal as well if and when the question arises !!!
Mr Barroso finds himself in the unenviable situation of someone who has a conflict of interests: as President of the European Commission he expounds, lectures others, on the problem of the EURO, the same problem currently being faced by Portugal !!!
Does he have the solution for Greece, Portugal and also the E U ? What many people would like to see and hear is Mr Barroso explain how he sees the evolution of current problems and where the costs will fall, and when !!!
If Mr Barroso does not explain, any future utterances must be taken with a pinch of salt !!!

IS DSK REALLY FREE ?
Socialists in France are really in a quandry !!! They watch the latest news concerning DSK, each and everyone watches the official Primary Candidates and their comments, yet nobody wants to condemn the possibility of DSK joining the fray, i.e. will he join the battle to be the Official Candidate of the Socialist Party at the 2012 Presidential Elections ?
The legal mess in which DSK finds himself at present is ridiculous for a candidate who desires to be the next President of France !!! Later today, the USA will decide whether the action of the Chambermaid, covered in semen from DSK, will continue !!! She is now portrayed as a liar, but the semen needs to be explained !!!
In the meantime another Accusation of a sexual nature has been launched against DSK in France !!! This will certainly occupy the Press during the coming days, if not weeks !!! The simple question now is to know if there are other likely accusations which will come to the fore ?
Will the Socialist friends of DSK have the benevolence to wait ? Or will they quickly realise that whatever the outcome of his problems, he has already lost the confidence an electorate he must have, if he is to become the next Socialist President of France !!!
We must watch the next few days carefully. Which of the other candidates in the Primary Elections will have the courage to publicly abandon the idea that DSK could still be a credible Candidate ? Other non socialist parties are also intrigued and watching very closely.

THE NEWS OF THE WORLD WANTS TO BE WHAT ?
I remember quite clearly late in 1955, I was a student at Nottingham University, studying law, when one Sunday morning I was with my girlfriend and I wanted to buy a newspaper.
"Which one do you want to buy", she asked ? I replied "The Barmaid's Bible" !!! "What's that ?", she asked and added it doesn't exist !!! " "OK," I said !!! " Follow me" !!! We went to the newspaper seller and I asked him for the "Barmaid's Bible". He gave me the News of the World without a blink !!!
Now that the News of the World wants to be an investigative, journalistic newspaper, it should redefine its objectives. A no holds barred attitude is not fair to the "whitnesses" which are interviewed without the protection of a lawyer !!!
Likewise the Law needs to be changed !!! Simple, unprotected citizens need to be protected from investigative "journalists" !!!
In the USA they used to have a law called the "Invasion of Privacy". Does this still exist ? Even if not, it could inspire lawyers to draft a law which protects the civil liberties of honest citizens!!!

DSK - NOW A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ?
In political circles things move quickly !!! Sometimes too quickly !!!
While DSK was locked away in NEW YORK, Socialists in FRANCE were all regretting his absence in the forthcoming Party Primaries to elect the Official Socialist Candidate for the 2012 Presidential Election. Before his sudden indictment in N Y for sexually assaulting a chambermaid, he was generally considered to be the best Socialist candidate to unseat President Sarkozy.
Suddenly, yesterday, July 1, 2011 at a court meeting, it transpires that the chambermaid was not a totally reliable witness !!! The case goes on but explanations are still required to explain the presence of DSK semen on the chambermaid's clothing.
Socialists have been taken aback. DSK has risen from the dead !!! Nobody really wants to be heard saying that it is too late for him to stand. Some consider that the deadline to register for the Primary Election should be extended.
Things really have changed, because when he was still the IMF Managing Director, in order to stand he had to resign his post before he could take part in the Socialist Primaries !!! This is an IMF rule. He did in fact resign when he was indicted because he could no longer fulfill his functions from prison !!!
Socialist politicians are in a quandry. Several want to be chosen as the Official Socialist Candidate but are wary to exclude the possibility of a DSK candidacy. A return of DSK at a late date haunts them !!!
Some socialist politicians in fact imagine that all the problems of DSK are behind him !!! This is not yet the case.
The problems women have faced when in contact with DSK have been openly and widely debated recently in France. Some clearly think that a President should be a better example than DSK has turned out to be.
What happened in the Hotel room 2806 with the Chambermaid, consensuel or not, will never restore the honorability of any man who aspires to be President of France. If DSK loses the votes of women on that score, another Socialist Candidate may be a better option !!!
TOUR DE FRANCE, DRUGS and CONTADOR ?
How can an International Cycling Organisation, which is supposed to have the controle of International Cyling events, like THE TOUR de FRANCE, THE TOUR de SPAIN and others, not publish the results of the accusations concerning Contador ?
What holds them back ? Is Contador guilty or not ? Also, should they not now be obliged to explain why these Cycling Organisations are not publishing the verdict of what they have found ? Will they only disqualify Contador if he wins ? Or perhps if he loses ?
This is not acceptable justice !!! Either someone is accused or not !!! If he is accused then he must enter a plea and to defend himself !!! An accused has the right to expect prompt action !!! He has the right, like all his competitors, not to be punished AFTER the next competition !!!

DSK: WAS HE DOUBBLE-CROSSED BY AN ANGEL ?
Everyone by now has his personal opinion of DSK. He stands accused of a sexual assault on a chambermaid in his hotelroom in Manhattan. With the help of his advocates, he has pleaded not guilty.
Since that plea the whole past of DSK has been openly discussed in the Medias in France and his reputation has not been enhanced !!! Now, today, 1 July 2011, one learns that the chambermaid has also been investigated, but in the USA, and apparantly she is not a wholly white Angel !!!
The immediate question that springs to the minds of normal thinking Europeans is ; Can anyone who is not a 100% angel ever prosecute anyone in the USA for sexual aggression ? Will this case now ever go to trial ? Will a jury now ever be reconvoked in this case ?
A French Presidential Candidate has been destroyed. He has lost his Job at the IMF !!! Prosecuting and Defence lawyers in the USA are getting rich and preserving their reputations !!! The Chambermaid was an angel but no longer seems to be that. Has a jury heard the evidence ?
It has been announced there will be something new in the court in a few hours !!! We can only hold our breath !!!
