The Strauss Kahn Frame-Up: The Amerikan Police State Strides Forward

[ktlight]

For your information:


The International Monetary Fund’s director, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was arrested last Sunday in New York City on the allegation of an immigrant hotel maid that he attempted to rape her in his hotel room. A New York judge has denied Strauss-Kahn bail on the grounds that he might flee to France.
President Bill Clinton survived his sexual escapades, because he was a servant to the system, not a threat. But Strauss-Kahn, like former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, was a threat to the system, and, like Eliot Spitzer, Strass-Kahn has been deleted from the power ranks.
Strauss-Kahn was the first IMF director in my lifetime, if memory serves, who disavowed the traditional IMF policy of imposing on the poor and ordinary people the cost of bailing out Wall Street and the Western banks. Strauss-Kahn said that regulation had to be reimposed on the greed-driven, fraud-prone financial sector, which, unregulated, destroyed the lives of ordinary people. Strauss-Kahn listened to Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz, one of a handful of economists who has a social conscience.
Perhaps the most dangerous black mark in Strauss-Kahn’s book is that he was far ahead of America’s French puppet, President Sarkozy, in the upcoming French elections. Strauss-Kahn simply had to be eliminated.
It is possible that Strauss-Kahn eliminated himself and saved Washington the trouble. However, as a well-travelled person who has often stayed in New York hotels and in hotels in cities around the world, I have never experienced a maid entering unannounced into my room, much less when I was in the shower.

Why would you defend a banker? They are the problem.

Why would you defend a banker? They are the problem.

I am not defending, merely exposing.

[Shakespeare's Foot.]

I don't think it's the defending of a banker... i think it's more what this represents. I just don't buy it. For these reasons -

- Personally, i believe that things like this go on all the time. And often involving people much lower down the power trail that Strauss-Kahn. But they get hushed up through contacts and power. Surely, Strauss-Kahn- at his high level of power - could get this hushed up in seconds (if it did happen). So, why wasn't it? The only reason can be is that somebody wanted him removed. It'll be interesting to see who takes his position.

- I stay in hotels through work. From my experience, cleaners work in teams so as to nullify the chance of this happening. Doors have to be kept open while the room is being cleaned so this can't occur. Why wasn't she in a team that day? How was she allowed to go missing for so long?

- The girl is a immigrant, single-mother, muslim, working two jobs. Can she be any more perfect? Can America be more on the side of righteousness?

- He was arrested almost immediately. The girl says she didn't know who he was until her friend told her the next day. The story doesn't make sense.

- Everybody is innocent until proven guilty. This man has been systematically humiliated. A message has been sent.

He may be guilty. I am certainly not condoning his actions or stating a claim for his innocence. But sometimes something just stinks here.

What if that banker has changed side, and planed to do some good things? What if the banker now becomes the PTB's problem?

[Revere]

Wheter he is guilty or not is hard to tell. But, the "entitlement" issue seems to be consistent with the rich and powerful mode of operation. It is curious that he has not gotten out of it!

You're ill informed. The IMF is a rotten institution that rapes African countries and DSK has a well documented reputation for being a sexual predator. If you wish to defend a sexual predator just because of what side he is on then I'm unable to explain how to delineate between right and wrong. Google is a very useful search engine to establish this man's predatory sexual behaviour as new content is coming out in real time. All existing institutions need to have their leadership changed. If you are paying attention this is happening at the Pentagon and the CIA. It takes a nuanced understanding of the military, banking, government and religious sectors to comment on these. If my opening statement offends you I make no apology as there's an excellent video for the beginner to research how the IMF and the World Bank.

If you complete the video interview, I'm happy to share the more complex and documented research on who does what and how.

Please, it is not enough to quote a youtube video for beginners to convince me you have it all sussed out. Nor am I necessarily convinced that someone like Fulford knows all the answers. He quotes a 'Rothschild' source. Give me a break. There are too many sides to this.

I’m going to be deliberately naïve because I think there is some mileage to be got out of a simple appraisal of the humdrum politics. Let me give you some personal impressions from forty years of living in France.
Strauss-Kahn is not a banker but a slightly left-of-centre politician put out to graze when Sarkozy came to power as part of his anti-opposition policy. Historically, anything left-of-right has never governed for very long – a couple of months in 1936 when the Popular Front made great forward strides for ordinary people (social security, annual leave…); a couple more months in 1954 with Mendés-France. The socialists had a few more years in office in the fifties but by then their teeth had been drawn. Similarly, Mitterrand’s government was only effective for a couple of years, from 1981-83; after that the bankers took over. Finally, Jospin’s government lasted all of five years under a rightwing president and did some good work too. So there is this historical trend of more and more humanity (for want of a better word perhaps) creeping into government. Strauss-Kahn fits neatly into this picture as being more moderate, pragmatic or whatever, than his predecessors. He is the main threat, or was, precisely because he has the ‘rightwing’ skills of the economist. Putting him in charge of the IMF was probably not a smart move either for the IMF or for Sarkozy. He would still have wiped the floor with the incumbent - who interestingly enough likes to go jogging in an NYPD t-shirt. And who knows what would have been achieved in five years…

We have known here all along that come the next election (in exactly 12 months time) the little godfather (in cahoots with the Corsican mafia) would be bringing out his bag of dirty tricks, and we have known for some time that the ‘nuclear option’ was on the table as other tamer efforts failed in recent weeks. Sarkozy is a killer politician and fighting for his political life.

You also need to know that here in France, we still stick a folded piece of paper with a name on it in an envelope, and these are counted in public view by ordinary citizens - I could volunteer myself. So if you look like losing, it’s no good waiting until polling day. And Sarkozy is set to lose, regardless of the opposition, possibly in the first round. Yet he is the one in bed with the superrich. Good news, I’d say; but let's not get carried away, they are only politicians after all.

I used the word humanity just now. On a more human note, Strauss-Kahn’s wife Anne Sinclair is still immensely popular in France although her Sunday night current affairs TV show was stopped years ago when her husband first became a minister. Sure, she is worth a lot of money, but I guess having an art dealer grandfather who set the likes of Picasso, Braque and Matisse on their way is one of the more honest and broad-minded ways of being that. The ‘problem’ with Anne Sinclair is that, as far as one can tell, she is genuinely nice, the way Bill Ryan is genuinely nice, by which I mean would probably get on most of the time with most people. I say ‘problem’, because she has also been happily married for thirty years to this so-called ‘caveman’ (according, I believe, to the NY Times).
My gut feeling, for having followed these people for many years, is that we are dealing here with basically decent if imperfect human beings who are playing their part in something no doubt much bigger. I may be wrong or under-informed. On the incident itself however, if I were paying anything over something like fifty euros, I should be unhappy if a maid wandered unaccompanied into my room, even by mistake, while I was under the shower. At the Sofitel, this one allegation alone makes absolutely no sense.

Let’s see how this plays out (the ‘faceless’ victim’s ‘brother’ has already admitted he is only a friend). The whole thing might completely backfire, what then? France could end up with not one but two Socialist presidents! What then?

Interesting times, indeed.

I have no idea why you introduce Ben Fulford into the discourse. Are you feeling OK? That video contains an interview with Political Scientist Susan George.

I'd welcome it if you watched the video I posted instead of the one that is in your imagination before we proceed.

[araucaria]

I am feeling fine thank you very much (just back from a break in fact). But thank you for your concern over my wellbeing. I was merely responding to the subject of the thread, namely a French politician in New York on whom Fulford has written - there is no video in my imagination. There is however a French viewpoint which you may not be getting in places like Tokyo or Bangkok, that's all.

I understand the IMF and World bank are evil empires, However I have to agree these people will do anything to protect their own, What is really going on here?
