(PINKSHEETS: KRMC) -- "DSK: Affairs of States" tells the first
complete story of the fall from grace of a world-class powerful and
promising figure, Dominique Strauss-Kahn -- known in the media
simply by his initials: DSK. When he arrived in New York, on
Friday, May 13 of 2011, he was the head of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) and the favorite to become France's first
Jewish president in the upcoming French presidential elections.
Three days later, he was jailed in the infamous Rikers Island,
charged with sexually assaulting Nafissatou Diallo, a 32-year-old
African maid, in his suite of the grand hotel he was staying in New
York. His career and high hopes seemed destroyed. But in July 2011,
the U.S. prosecutor's case suddenly collapsed. Lies in the hotel
maid's account of what happened, revelations that she had
associations with suspected drug criminals, allegations she had
received large payments of money, and false statements about her
background seriously damaged the credibility of the prosecution's
main witness.
Now a free man, DSK flew back to Paris where he was cheered at
the airport. Could the voters forget the New York incident? He
addressed the French nation on TV with excellent results in the
polls. But once again, fate struck: suddenly he was arrested for an
alleged orchestration of a network of prostitution. He made bail by
paying 1 million Euros, was forbidden to talk to the media and now
risks 20 years of imprisonment. He claims his innocence, saying
that he just participated in a few wild parties. But all of his
presidential hopes have been destroyed.
Using the method of "nonfiction novel" illustrated, among
others, by Truman Capote in his In Cold Blood, Pierre Turgeon, an
award winning author of 15 books, researched in depth the DSK
affair. He tells the story of a libertine, hunted but resilient,
defended unconditionally by his wealthy wife Anne Sinclair. Gender,
media, power, justice, money, lies, scams, corruption, elections,
North-South conflict, judicial and cultural gap between America and
Europe... these are the ingredients of this tragicomedy with which
Turgeon tracks the depravities of some of the political, economic
and intellectual ruling class, right and left. He doesn't hesitate
to put under the spotlight many famous actors relevant to this
political-economic-cultural international drama: Nicolas Sarkozy,
Liliane Bettencourt, Bill Clinton, Roman Polanski, Silvio
Berlusconi and even Barack Obama.
Turgeon finds answers, or plausible scenarios, to the hard
questions raised by the DSK affair: was DSK simply the victim of
sloppy police work and false accusations or is there an
international political conspiracy against him? Who are his enemies
in the U.S. and in the French government? What could their agenda
be?
Pierre Turgeon is a journalist, historian, editor, novelist,
screenwriter and book publisher. Based in Montreal, Canada, this
author of 15 books has twice won the Governor General's Literary
Award in Canada for his novel The First Person and his essay
Radissonia: The James Bay Adventure. Turgeon also co-authored the
non-fiction bestseller Canada: A People's History (Volumes 1 &
2), companion books to a successful CBC TV series. With over 30
years in the publishing business, Turgeon has worked as a
journalist for Radio-Canada, the National Film Board and Actualité.
In 2009, he founded and became President of Transit Publishing Inc.
and is now CEO of Cogito Media Group.
In addition, on January 12, 2012, the Company filed with the
Secretary of State for the State of Colorado a reduction of its
authorized common stock shares from 50 billion shares to 15 billion
