"France pares restaurant tax" by Associated Press | July 2, 2009

PARIS - French restaurant bills slimmed down slightly yesterday, after the government slashed the value-added tax hoping to nudge people back to sidewalk cafes and prized restaurants suffering amid the economic downturn....

We RAISE 'EM HERE!

"Russian gambling halls shut in cities; Law puts casinos far from Moscow" by Mike Eckel, Associated Press | July 2, 2009

The state (and paper) WANTS to BRING those CRIMINALS HERE!

MOSCOW - Thousands of casinos, slot-machine parlors, and betting halls across Russia shut down yesterday, complying with sweeping new restrictions that require all gambling business to relocate to four remote regions of the country.

The law was estimated to put more than 400,000 people out of work as Russia’s economic crisis deepens and unemployment is rising. Russian TV said more than 40,000 workers were affected in Moscow, at 30 major casinos and some 500 smaller gaming halls and slot-machine parlors. News agencies reported that Moscow police were checking gambling halls across the capital to make sure they were closing.

The law, passed three years ago at then-President Vladimir Putin’s initiative, confines gambling to four zones in far-flung regions of Russia, most thousands of miles away from Moscow....

Because PUTIN KNOWS who is the MOB!

When lawmakers signed the casino closure law in 2006, the move backed the image Putin wanted to project: that of a clean-living, workaholic president. But analysts say the government also saw an opportunity to weed out a criminal element involved in the casino business.

Yeah, and WE DON'T WANT THEM HERE!!!

But many specialists say the law will just drive gambling underground, and criminalize it more than it already was....

Strange how that argument isn't any good for pot.

Which 'specialists' said that, anyway?

Around here the lead criminal is Sol Kerzner:

"Born outside Johannesburg in 1935 to Russian Jewish immigrants... by 26, he had entered the hotel business and in 1964 opened his first luxury hotel in South Africa using money invested by his accounting clients....

Part of the Russian/Jewish mafia is he?

In 1979, Kerzner created Sun City — the world’s first modern casino-resort, in the heart of the apartheid-era black homeland of Bophuthatswana. Technically not considered a part of South Africa, the location allowed Kerzner to operate a gambling casino and screen X-rated movies, activities that were illegal at the time in white-governed South Africa....


In mid-1987, Kerzner left South Africa under a cloud of suspicion and resettled in London. He was charged by a prosecutor in the black homeland of Transkei of bribing the governor of that state for casino rights. The governor served a nine-year prison sentence for accepting payment from Kerzner. Kerzner later admitted paying the money but claimed he was extorted. He spent years and millions of dollars in an eventually successful effort to get the charges dropped.

What is with the JEWISH GUYS and the
BRIBES?

Kerzner later sold most of his interest in his South African hotel empire and began looking for new markets....
his taste for the fast life would be breathlessly chronicled in the world media for decades....

Len Wolman, chairman and chief executive of lodging concern Waterford Group, of Waterford, Conn., first brought the Mohegan Sun deal to Sol Kerzner....
Butch [Kerzner, Sol's son] also befriended members of the royal family of Dubai, who became large investors in the company as well as several Kerzner projects and awarded the Kerzners a key piece of land in Dubai for a second Atlantis resort scheduled for completion in late 2008....

Puts the LIE to all the Zionist's Muslim propaganda, doesn't it?

When $ is involved, it is a different story.

The deal had barely closed when Butch was killed, along with the two pilots and another passenger in the helicopter crash.... None of Kerzner’s other children are expected to figure into his succession plans....


Kerzner International will likely bid on Britain’s “super-casino” project announced last month for Manchester, England. Kerzner also says he’s interested in pursuing a project in Las Vegas."


Quite a story, 'eh?
