Hi,
My name is Danielle. I have been kidnapped on the 25th of February 1999, in the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at the age of 25. I was raped and tortured. I have been murdered or sold in the open market of flesh. It is up to you to solve this gruesome mystery.
I am writing to you from beyond, because from where I am, no young woman returns. I am screaming, shouting and crying but my voice does not come out ; the way it happens in nightmares. A nightmare which will haunt every man in America who is a criminal or a women hater.
I appeared in a dream to my father who is wounded beyond healing and suffering unbearable agony and I dictated this message to American women. Don’t mind him, he is half witted. Nevertheless, he warned me in January of this year and said : " you will be kidnapped if you go out alone at night ". My answer was : " Don’t worry ". I am a nice girl , no one will harm me simply because I never harmed anyone. I believed the system is perfect. America is beautiful. The best country in the world. How wrong I was ? And, I paid this mistake with my life.
Let it be known in every household in America that young women are not free to go out alone. They can be kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered.
I was taught in school that America is the land of the free, I believed this statement. It is not true for women. No woman is free from aggression, harassment, violence, rape, slavery and murder. And, this is going on for thousands of years throughout the world since the overthrow of the matriarchal system by men. I accuse the patriarchal system of my kidnapping and murder.
The Fort Lauderdale police have not yet resolved this dramatic case of my abduction despite their constant efforts. It is obvious to everyone that the FBI has infinite means to resolve my case ; it was requested that the FBI should be involved. The bureaucratic answer was : No. My case does not meet the criteria to get the FBI involved. This is the law of the land. I was over 18 and there is no proof I crossed state lines. I am determined to smash this bureaucratic wall.
Let me tell you about myself. I was born in Manhattan. At the age of one year, my parents moved to the Fort Lauderdale area. I was a straight A student and I got my bachelor degree in fine arts. I worked as a graphic designer and a sales girl. My last job which I loved was in a jewelry store for $ 7 an hour. Not being greedy, I needed just the minimum to survive. Two years before my abduction I bought a condo and decorated my apartment like a museum with my own paintings. I have been an artist since the age of ten. I had a nice boy friend whom I met at an art show. I trusted people, I trusted men. I knew no one will hurt me because people are good. I never smoked a cigarette, never had a drop of alcohol and believed no one should use drugs. I never went to a nightclub and even dancing was not an activity of mine. I was a fan of U2 and watched the reruns of Seinfeld and the Lucy show religiously. I was happy, I had loving parents mostly overprotective and I was their only child. I was really pleased with my lifestyle in South Florida. I cherished my " freedom " my independence and my autonomy.
But, it does not work this way. I thought I was free. This is a myth. There is no such thing as freedom for women in America and for that matter in the world. This horrendous problem has to be solved. Otherwise, it will be repeated again and again. Who will solve it ? The women of America. What is to be done ? It is a simple question. It has a simple answer. We the women of America should raise our awareness. Since we live in a Democracy we will apply the laws of the democratic system. We are 50% of the population. We should form a political party of women and we vote for this party. We let the men vote for the Republican and the Democratic parties and we will win all the power. If we women start forming this party now with N O W (National Organization of Women) Within 20 years, we will overthrow peacefully the patriarchal system. It will take another 20 years to build a system based on moral structures and to complete the education of men.
By 2040, we will have a perfect system in America and through persuasion in the world. A new social order run by women and for women and consequently for everyone.
I call on the women of America to start organizing this political party, which will defend and protect women. It will be an independent, feminist, democratic, progressive, revolutionary movement. If we unite around this new concept, we will certainly win. We will change the current constitution which was written by men and cannot be applied in the 21st century.
Something is wrong with this constitution when we witness so much violence everyday. We will revise all the laws which were voted by men for over two centuries. We will form a government of women, by women and for women. This 2nd American revolution will be the spearhead of the world revolution because we cannot be happy in our corner of earth and let the third world live in misery because there is no such thing as a national solution exactly as there is no such thing as an individual solution. We must solve all the problems globally and only women can do that simply because we are the source of life. For thousands of years men had all the power, they did not know how to use it, now it is too late. We will lead them to the exit. We will seize all the power and we will certainly do a better job.
We will organize a Universal Republic, a world federation, ruled by women, to help the most oppressed everywhere ; the hopeless, the helpless, the desperate and the destitute.
Since the beginning of the agricultural revolution, the patriarchal system has been ruling the world, first with city states and now with nation states. This system is obsolete with the global economy. The patriarchal system leads to violence, torture, rape of women, kidnapping women, oppression, hatred, wars. Two horrendous world wars in the 20th century. For what ? For nothing. Since 1945, war never stopped in one country or another. If we allow the status quo, that means the decaying patriarchal system to continue to rule. It will lead us inevitably to the third world war, with hundreds of millions of dead and billions of injured and contaminated people. For which purpose ? For a few billionaires to increase their assets. It does not make any sense.
Don’t forget for one moment that a war against women and children takes place right now in the third world and, for many years, 40.000 children have been dying every day from starvation or preventable diseases. How to solve this problem ? Only the women of America can prevent these horrors from happening. When we, all the women of America from the upper class, the middle class, the working class and the underclass will unite (this is the key word) under the banner of Truth, Solidarity and Compassion ; we will have a non-violent 2nd revolution in America and subsequently in the world, through persuasion not by force.
You can’t blame the criminal who kidnapped and murdered me. He is a product of the rotten patriarchal system which is responsible for transforming normal men into abnormal beasts. The death penalty exists, it is not a deterrent to criminals. Some men are not afraid to die provided they kill first, and this mentality is the product of the decaying system and our depraved culture. We must hire the scientists to study what makes insane males kidnap and murder women. We are not going to allow these gruesome crimes to continue anymore. We women, shall prevent these abominations whatever the cost, we will make sure of that, otherwise freedom and liberation of women are empty words.
Killing women is a political issue. You can’t remain neutral on the issue of murdering women. Either you are satisfied with this patriarchal system which is responsible for the daily violence we are witnessing in America; or you take a stand against violence and organize a non violent feminist revolutionary movement to overthrow the decaying and corrupt patriarchal system to end violence forever. Which side are you on ?
The separation of powers, executive, legislative and judiciary is not an American invention. The French writer Montesquieu suggested it in the 18th century. He could not have predicted that for the 21st century it would not be sufficient. There should be a fourth base of power. Women organized in the communities at the grassroots level to have a democratic control over the executive, legislative and judiciary which will be controlled by women at all levels. This does not mean that the democratic feminist revolutionary movements is against men. If men are willing to serve the cause of women they are welcome and those women who persist to serve the cause of the uncaring and cruel patriarchal system are certainly unwelcome. The time for demonstrations, claiming our rights and making demands for solving single issues is over.
Men had all the power for thousands of years, they had their chance and they blew it. Now, it is our turn. The natural matriarchal system which calls for tolerance, love, compassion, peace, rationality common sense, non-violence ; assisting the needy and helping those who are suffering, will prevail in this coming 21st century.
The idea of women having all the power is new. It sounds insane, illogical even laughable. Why does no one laugh at men having all the power now, or at women holding high position of power and serving the nauseating patriarchal system ? I tell you one thing sisters, let them laugh. " He who laughs last laughs best ". In any case, my kidnapping, my rape, my torture and my murder is not a laughing matter. Let February 25th 1999 be the rallying cry of the 2nd American revolution. Let me be the first and only martyr of the revolutionary democratic feminist progressive independent movement
I call on movie stars from Hollywood to collect the funds and create this new party of women. I call on women of all classes to unite and join in solidarity for the new Revolutionary feminist movement. This movement will protect and defend the women and their children and will eventually liberate the women of the world. The women of America will be the spearhead of the world revolution which will establish a Universal Republic run by women which will end wars forever. It is either saving humanity or heading to an extreme violent world, the destruction of our civilization and a certain doom.
This is a desperate and helpless cry from a young woman who vanished the 25th of February 1999. You cannot help me, you cannot reach me. From where I have been sent no one returns. It happened to me, it can happen to you. My ghost will haunt all women haters and men who inflict terror and agony on women. Don’t mourn and grieve, wipe your tears. Organize and overthrow the illegitimate and vicious patriarchal system. Our feminist, democratic, progressive revolution is irreversible , uninterrupted, universal and perpetual.
DANIELLE
P.S. Let every household in America read my message.
