>Lionel Bensemoun, son of a casino owner and who he started LeBaron club with

French language interview with Lionel Bensemoun, translated into English:

From his window, he observes the trees that have taken on the colors of autumn. After a night of rain, the sun has returned, and this morning a peaceful light sprinkles the forest surrounding the Folie Barbizon. It has now been a year since Lionel Bensemoun returned the keys to his Parisian apartment to settle in the heart of the forest of Fontainebleau. Him, the figure of Parisian nights. The one who brought together until 2015 the "all of Paris" in his crazy and trendy temple Le Baron. At 48, the man who initiated the Corsican festival Calvi On The Rocks, and invented the noctambulist institutions Showcase and Paris Paris, the Nuba and the Mano, Chez Moune and Grand Rivage, now lives in peace, and willingly indulges in the contemplation of nature.

Lionel Bensemoun was still unaware of the region two years ago, when he visited the charming town of Barbizon for the first time, and this large house which will become his current base, and his new HQ. At the time, he had already sold most of his nightclubs to successfully launch the itinerant third places Le Consulat, his eco-sensitive mini festival Isla and the GANG collective, for Groupement d'Action Néo Green. So many echoes of a move towards environmental action that he began in 2013, and of the commitment of this former baron of the night for the environmental cause.

Barbizon Madness

We reach La Folie Barbizon after 35 minutes by train from Paris. There, surrounded by a pretty garden where tables and chairs allow you to enjoy the calm and greenery, a somewhat rustic-looking residence contains Lionel Bensemoun's latest project. It is an artists' residence with 6 studios and 14 tastefully decorated rooms, available in hotels. A chef offers guests a unique vegetarian dish every evening, served on a large table “just like at home”. Musicians occasionally liven up evenings in small groups around the bar. Since the opening of the place in May, families of Parisians and retirees passing through have been filling up to enjoy a breath of fresh air outside the capital, or participate in ceramic workshops.

This desire for urban exodus, accentuated by the pangs of confinement, Lionel Bensemoun had felt it. In the first place because this successful entrepreneur first designs his projects for him. "I wanted a place that gives access to nature, to contemplation, to find my little spiritual island," he explains. "Maybe that's why I'm lucky that it works, because my desires often correspond to those of others. Here, there is this little mix of culture and nature that corresponds to today's expectations. There, in the middle of the undergrowth, NGOs occasionally come to organize work seminars.

The base

Because the man has seen, in recent years, his entourage become more and more militant. To his address book, where JR and Anne Hidalgo, Flavien Berger or Marion Cotillard appear, the leaders of major environmental organizations have since been added. It was while discussing with Julien Bayou, current national secretary of Europe Ecology Les Verts, that the idea of ​​La Base was born. In this place unearthed a few meters from the Saint-Louis hospital, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, the two men imagine creating the place of convergence of environmental activism. "The Base was designed as a mobilization accelerator, a real HQ for people who want to get involved and don't know where to go, and a place of synergies between the different NGOs on site", says Lionel Bensemoun.

On the three levels of the building, between the militant posters, the associative bar and the banners in the making, nestle in various offices and open space the teams of Alternatiba, Action Climat, Notre Affaire à Tous or the eco-friendly YouTuber Share C' is nice. The dynamic, launched last year, is now autonomous, with the associations taking charge of the management of the place. They are now launching a call for donations to support their activity. From the opening, Lionel Bensemoun put his network to work, inviting the artist JR for the launch. There he kept the small office of his collective GANG, which initiates each year with the collective Give A Fuck the "Rave For Climate", the techno-festive component of the March for the Climate.

GANG, Neo Green Action Group

"Initially, GANG was called GAG, for Green Action Gang, with the idea of ​​making jokes to raise awareness, like the Yes Man", Lionel Bensemoun still has fun when he mentions the first action. of this collective born in 2015. That year, present as always at the Cannes Film Festival, the former publicist decides to use his know-how as a communicator to start a crazy rumor. The region is then the victim of an insect that ravages the palm trees of the Croisette. Bensemoun decides to mount a fake press conference to announce the creation by Monsanto of the first palm tree

The consulate

The first Consulate opened in 2016. Lionel Bensemoun then just left La Clique, his brand consulting and event agency. Sensitized by the film Demain and several training sessions with Colibris, he already attends several associations and thinks about what he can do at his level to add his "little drop". "I didn't go very far: I continued what I knew how to do, bringing people together. His experience, his networks in the night, festivals and music are used to create a place where the "trendy" fans of La Femme and the "alternative" of Nuit Debout meet.

In this new hybrid place in the 9th arrondissement, Lionel Bensemoun wants to show that we can get out of the divisions "where you are green, eco-friendly, you ride a bike, you don't eat meat, and you go to clubs night: a hyphen was needed between all these young people". On site, associations organize conferences and provide information on solutions for better consumption. The restaurant is vegetarian and offers meals to refugees at lunchtime, the bar sells alternatives to Coke. “We wanted to create a trendy but responsible place, to show that art and music could be used to change mentalities. »

The watchword is that if you pay, you are not the product.

Lionel Bensemoun

In 2018, the Consulate changed and opened in a 3,000m2 space in the 14th arrondissement. This time, all of festive Paris is jostling to take part in the raves organized by Ile-de-France collectives, in the midst of contemporary works of art. Up to 3,000 young revelers come to dance there every Friday and Saturday evening. For Lionel Bensemoun, the energy of this youth accustomed to alternative techno evenings, freed from administrative rules, resonates with the values ​​of the place. The income from the nights makes it possible to organize conferences the next day with international guests. “The watchword is that if you pay, you are not the product. The ecosystem keeps the authorized 6 months without calling on brands or sponsors, now banned from all of its projects.

Unite

On September 2, the latest version of the Consulate opened in a former 3,000m2 EDF electrical transformer. In this large industrial cathedral, spectators are invited to sit on the carpets and cushions on the floor. In the centre, concerts and performances take place without amplification, by candlelight alone. “I called this place Consulate, Generator of New Energies”, explains Lionel Bensemoun. An obvious reference to the liabilities of the building, and a counterpoint to the tense exchanges of recent times within activism. "It's very electric: anti-racism, feminism, left, right, environmentalists… It gets hit on a lot. The debates oppose isolated and increasingly polarized bubbles that do not speak to each other. It really touched me. »

This new Consulate therefore wants to be a “peacemaker”. Exit the militant conferences, make way for open meetings, and an experience close to the spiritual. "My pattern of activism today is more towards the sacred," says the person concerned. “It is a place of peace where we take the time to access more meaning, the invisible. “The last evening before confinement hosted the performance of Vincent Moon and Priscilla Telmon. On the screen scrolled videos of trance ceremonies filmed by the videographer around the world, while the musician intoxicated the viewer with repetitive loops. "It's the kind of moments that we want to live," enthuses Lionel Bensemoun. “In this intimate setting, the natural reverb of the place gives way to a very powerful imagination. It opens, it is peaceful, unifying. Then, you do not want to debate but rather to understand the other. »

Today, the Parisian nightlife activist is pleased to have built his path towards peaceful activism, and is delighted to see his old friends join him. “In 2015 when I had the Baron, I was a bit isolated with all my green stuff. My friends used to say: "Oh Lionel, he's gone crazy, he does his vegetable gardens, he's a gardener, he goes to demonstrations." He says today that he finds them in the processions, at the Consulate or at the Folie Barbizon. At their side, young people from the rave scene, like Fusion mes couilles, which he programs in his last club in activity, Le Petit Palace, to "keep in touch with youth and the night". "The night is a real vector of message", he analyzes. “Uniqlo or Diesel understood this well by asking me to do parties. I used this tool, without being moralistic but by joy and positive. There is so much malaise and a crisis of meaning, without that, we won't get there. »

How Memes Led to an Insurrection

A president who understood the power of memes was able to send thousands of people into battle against democracy itself.

By Joan Donovan, Emily Dreyfuss, and Brian Friedberg

September 13, 2022

excerpt: "It was a meme war that spilled into the streets of Washington, D.C., that day in January 2021. Meme wars are culture wars that have been accelerated and intensified by the infrastructure and incentives of the internet, which trades outrage and extremity as currency, rewards speed and scale, and flattens the experience of the world, eliminating patience, kindness, and understanding. They are launched online by people with an agenda, and when one is successful, it captures the attention of a lot of other people who feel that the meme lines up with who they are, what they stand for, and whom or what they are against."

‘Floundering’ Fetterman has Democrats fretting in Senate race vs. Dr. Oz

September 17, 2022

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is running for US Senate, but his floundering performance on the campaign trail has left many questioning whether he is fit to run for office — or even serve in the upper chamber of the house.

After Fetterman suffered a stroke just days before his May primary, reporters were later told he had a pacemaker and a defibrillator fitted to address atrial fibrillation — a serious heart condition that was diagnosed years earlier but not revealed before he ran for lieutenant governor or senate. In a June statement, his doctor said he also had a serious heart condition called cardiomyopathy. Since then, none of the doctors on his current medical team have provided any details about the aftereffects of his stroke, despite frequent media requests for his medical records. On Thursday, his campaign confirmed that he had taken two neurocognitive tests, one of which showed he scored 28 out of 30 — which is common for people who have at least a high school education.

Since he returned to the campaign in mid-August, Fetterman has made brief appearances at a handful of events where he took no questions from journalists or audience members. He has largely relied on his Twitter account of nearly 800k followers to charm voters in his absence.

At the events he has attended, his halting, sometimes confused, remarks have caused concern. At his most recent event on Sept. 11, a Planned Parenthood “Women for Fetterman” rally, he struggled to finish his thoughts and fumbled his words, as he bashed his opponent, celebrity TV doctor Mehmet Oz, for making fun of his health issues.

John Fetterman stumbled over parts of Pennsylvania speech

At his first event — a rally in Erie on Aug. 12 — he stumbled, paused or missed words throughout his nine-minute speech to the discomfort of many in the audience.

“I knew he had had health issues, I did not realize the extent they had affected him,” said a voter at the event, who said he was from the city of Erie and a Democrat.

A week later at a Steelworkers rally in Pittsburgh, Fetterman gave a four-minute speech and stumbled over his words. “What is wrong with demanding for an easy, safe, kind of their income,” he said. “A path to a safe place for them to win… Excuse me… To work?”

On Labor Day, as he spoke for just over two minutes at a rally for Steelworkers in West Mifflin with President Biden in attendance, he often halted or trailed off and offered no comments on policy. “I am going to make it really simple for all of you,” he said, in a riff that was filled with frequent stumbles and awkward pauses, and ended with him confusing New Jersey with Washington DC.

“I can champion the union way of life in Jersey. Excuse me… In DC.”

Democrats who attended that speech said they are becoming uneasy about Fetterman.

“Some tricky, cute tweet coming at the people of Pennsylvania again and again and again, with scarcely a word on substantive issues — if that is all his brain can remember, that is unacceptable,” one Democrat told me. “He seems to think he can ride out the storm and not debate

Fetterman has not yet debated Oz once during his campaign, although on Wednesday he said will face off with him on October 25 — more than one month after the Sept. 19 deadline when voters start casting mail-in ballots.

On Monday, even the editorial board at the left-leaning Washington Post condemned his lack of transparency and willingness to debate early in the voting process. “Mr. Fetterman is asking voters for a six-year contract without giving them enough information to make sound judgments about whether he’s up for such a demanding job,” it stated. “We have called for full disclosure of health records for federal office in both parties, including Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and we believe Mr. Fetterman should release his medical record for independent review. And he should debate Mr. Oz before voters start casting their ballots.”

Mix of migrants, vagrants and sex offenders push NYC’s largest men’s shelter to the brink

September 17, 2022

It’s a ticking time bomb.

The city’s Bellevue Men’s Shelter at 30th Street and First Avenue in Kips Bay has become a tinder box of newly arrived migrants, unhinged vagrants, and sex offenders – an explosive amalgam that’s wreaking havoc on the streets of the once-quiet residential neighborhood.

“In the last six months, it’s gotten really, really scary,” according to one terrified resident of the block who said police recently contacted him about an armed robbery and a carjacking in front of his house.“The situation appears to be reaching a tipping point.”

At the 1,000-bed shelter — the city’s largest for single men — residents told The Post about overcrowding, fights, and tensions with the newly arrived asylum seekers. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began flooding the Big Apple with busloads of migrants in early August. Six more buses arrived Saturday.

“We don’t want them here because, to be honest with you, to me they’re getting treated better than we do, and this is supposed to be ours,” said Darrell Pankey, a homeless resident for six months.

“It’s gonna blow up any day now,” he added.

Conditions have become increasingly chaotic at the shelter.

There have been 1,196 calls this year to 911 regarding the shelter (through Sunday), up a staggering 607% from the 169 calls received for the same period in 2021.

Of this year’s calls, 908 were ambulance cases. Emergency operators logged 26 calls for disputes (up from seven); five for assaults in progress (up from two); and 12 for other crimes (up from one).

The FDNY responded to the building Friday morning on a report of people stuck in an elevator that turned out to be a “malicious false alarm,” the department said.

The building, a former psychiatric hospital that dates to 1929, is sandwiched between the Bellevue and NYU Langone hospital campuses, and also serves as an intake center for the city’s shelter system.

Another homeless local, Jeffery Harris, contends the migrants have been stealing phones to try to reach their families back home.

“This place is full to capacity. There ain’t no beds and they’re still sending them. They can’t fix this place fast enough to accommodate them,” Harris said.

Hunter Biden appeared to beg Maryland criminal to mail drugs to LA hotel

September 17, 2022

Hunter Biden allegedly begged one of Maryland’s “most wanted” bad guys to mail him crack cocaine at a luxury hotel.

The ask was apparently made in a suspicious text exchange found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned hard drive. The messages show the first son communicating with someone over several months in 2018, asking for something to be mailed to him under an assumed name he was using, “Joseph Smith,” as in the founder of the Mormon church.

While Biden never specified in the messages what he was asking for, The Sun reported the person on the other end of the texts was Voshawn Sample, a 47-year-old panhandler wanted for a September 2021 armed robbery and assault at a liquor store in Glen Burnie, Md.

Cops say Sample shot an employee of Champion Liquors before taking $10,000, Fox 5 Baltimore reported. Sample was described as “armed, dangerous and unpredictable” when his case aired on Maryland’s Most Wanted last year.

Sample is currently incarcerated and is expected to go on trial in November, according to The Sun.

Hunter texted with the phone number attributed to Sample from May to August 2018, records on the laptop show. A person who answered the number told The Post Saturday it no longer belongs to Sample.

The texts show Hunter Biden appeared to use Sample to score drugs — but that he was also often stood up.

“Man same thing. I really can’t believe you did that to me 3 times. I’m finished man. I thought you were the last honest man in the life,” the first son said in a June 12, 2018 text.

“I’m gonna be honest with you my mother has been on vacation and I couldn’t cook nothing up in my house because my mother has been acting crazy lately,” Sample allegedly replied. “When you come home please come to my house and I don’t want you to bring a dollar with you buddy.”

“I still have that for you I promise. Is you gonna come get what’s yours,” the person asked Biden.

Hunter responded by saying “FEDEX or overnight Mail at Post Office to Guest Joseph Smith (HB). 8221 Sunset Boulevard Los Angeles, California. Chateau Marmont Hotel.”

The drugs never arrived, which left Hunter annoyed.

“So you never sent anything like you said you would … why am I talking to you,” he texted. Later texts show the person begging Hunter Biden for cash to pay legal fees, with the first son responding that he would send $800 bucks.

Reps for Hunter Biden did not respond to request for comment from The Post.
