How about the Clinton - Lewinsky side show as the MIC did Bosnia with DU? Could be a titillating tale of sordid sexual escapades of the Gods. The man behind the curtain has many puppets to throw away.
Seriously, the head of the IMF? If this were not staged that woman would be paid off or dead. I think it is staged.

There are many reasons this could have happened. As I said, the IMF is directly responsible for the destabilization of North Africa affecting over 100 million people with influence in all of the Gulf Oil states. Additionally, in reference to the movie "Inside Job," by laying blame on the "Wall Street Crooks" rather than himself and his fellow puppetmasters of those "Wall Street Crooks", he made very formidable enemies. His pattern of sexual assault may have been exploited by Operation Pegasus types that may be off the reservation as many sub-elites are sick of the hypocisy by the globalist bankster scumbags. At some point, 7 billion people are going to realize that we are all on the depopulation/enslavement lists. Hopefully that time is upon us and the indictments of globalist pieces of crap are forthcoming. |

With Europe in Crisis, Fragile Time for I.M.F.By LANDON THOMAS Jr. Published: May 15, 2011 LONDON — It’s hard to imagine a worse time for the International Monetary Fund to be without a forceful European leader. Related Sinking under a mountain of debt, Greece is on the verge of requesting more help from the European Union and the international fund. Ireland’s economic recovery from its banking crisis remains a distant prospect at best. And once an international aid deal is concluded for Portugal, the question shifts to whether Spain’s much larger and increasingly stagnant economy may need a financial lifeline. Indeed, the most bitter twist for Dominique Strauss-Kahn is that his personal crisis comes at a time that the I.M.F.’s influence globally is at a many-decades peak, especially within Europe, his own stomping ground. During his tenure as managing director of the fund, Mr. Strauss-Kahn is widely credited with expanding the fund’s resources after the financial crisis, improving its governance and essentially restoring its relevance by replacing orthodoxy with pragmatism. Before being taken into custody in New York on Saturday afternoon on charges related to sexual assault, Mr. Strauss-Kahn had boarded a flight to Europe to meet the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, to discuss in detail how Europe and the I.M.F. would respond to the deteriorating economic situation in Greece.

Handcuffed IMF chief moved from New York police unitNEW YORK | Sun May 15, 2011 11:15pm EDT (Reuters) - A handcuffed IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, facing charges he sexually assaulted a hotel maid, was escorted from a New York Police Department unit late on Sunday. Police gave conflicting reports on whether he was being taken to the Manhattan Criminal Court building to be held overnight or to a medical facility for a forensic exam requested by investigators. Strauss-Kahn's court appearance has been postponed until Monday. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/16/us-strausskahn-departure-idUSTRE74F0KW20110516

http://www.cnbc.com/id/43040770EU Meeting Must Focus on Greece Despite ScandalPublished: Monday, 16 May 2011 | 1:15 AM ET Text Size As finance ministers arrive in Brussels this week for talks on the Greek debt crisis, the chatter will all be about Dominique Strauss-Khan and his arrest in New York on charges of sexual assault and attempted rape of a hotel maid in New York. But that doesn't mean there's not still hard work to do about Greece and its debt. The IMF boss's lawyer says Strauss-Khan will plead not guilty, but the arrest could not have come at a worse time for the euro zone debt crisis as we approach crunch time on the question of what to do about Greece’s debt woes. Strauss-Khan has been a key player in attempts to solve the debt crisis. With the exception of Jean-Claude Trichet it could be argued that no French men, including Nicolas Sarkozy, has played a bigger role in the crisis which has seen IMF money handed out to Greece, Ireland and Portugal.His enforced absence from talks over the future of Greece will be a blow to the IMF. But despite Strauss-Khan’s deputy, John Lipsky, announcing his resignation last week, the IMF is a big organization with plenty of people able to step in if Strauss-Khan is forced to resign or take leave as the investigation into the charges progresses.
Once they finish speculating over Strauss-Khan over espressos when they arrive in Brussels, European Finance Ministers and officials will find themselves with the same problem they faced before Strauss-Khan’s arrest: what to do about the Greece’s debts.
Analysts at Credit Suisse believe they will have four options to consider about how to allow Athens to meet its 27 billion euro funding gap in 2012, given lack of access to capital markets.
“The most likely option—the path of least resistance, in our view—is a continuation of EU/IMF support, likely through an extension of the initial aid package or through Greece's access to EFSF funding,” said Robert Barrie, the head of European economics at Credit Suisse in a research note. “A second option would be for the Greek government to speed up its privatisation plan and to attempt to reduce its deficit faster. Options one and two are not mutually exclusive, clearly.” Option three involves a voluntary extension of Greek debt maturity and would be far harder to reach agreement on in Barrie’s view. “Germany and some other northern European nations apparently supported such an option at last Friday’s ‘secret’ meeting in Luxembourg, but the ECB and several euro area countries, including France, were strongly against this option—stressing the potential broader economic, social and political consequences of such a decision,” said Barrie “According to most declarations over the past few days, this option has been put aside, at least for now. But we wouldn’t be surprised if some form of mild private sector involvement returns to the table.” “A fourth option—a forced restructuring—appears out of the question for all but a few politicians in the euro area at the moment,” said Barrie

Yes. This is given to UN diplomats (and their families) and diplomats of countries (at least in America). Kahn would not be illegible. |

Paul: IMF Implicated After Chief Arrested on Attempted Rape Chargehttp://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/15/paul-imf-implicated-chief-arrested-sodomy-charge/Published May 15, 2011| FoxNews.com The leader of the International Monetary Fund now embroiled in a criminal assault case in New York City was cleared in 2008 of harassment charges after an affair with an IMF economist. But it's that kind of behavior that should make the world wonder about trusting the IMF, Rep. Ron Paul said Sunday. The 2008 Republican presidential candidate told "Fox News Sunday" that Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who was pulled off an Air France flight moments before take-off from New York Saturday and arrested on charges of a criminal sex act, attempted rape and unlawful imprisonment, said the whole course of events "is a bit ironic." Paul, who makes no secret about his disgust of IMF policies, said Strauss-Kahn demonstrates why the Fund has problems. "These are the kind of people that are running the IMF and we want to turn the world finances and the control of the money supply to them," Paul said. "That should awaken everybody to the fact that they ought to look into the IMF and find out why we shouldn't be sacrificing more sovereignty to an organization like that and an individual like he was." Strauss-Kahn, 62, is scheduled for arraignment Sunday after being accused by a 32-year-old maid at the luxury Sofitel hotel near Times Square of an attack on her in his suite on Saturday afternoon. The IMF chief, who is considered a frontrunner in challenging Nicolas Sarkozy for the French presidency, "denies all the charges against him," his attorney, Benjamin Brafman, said Sunday. A State Department press officer said she had no comment on last night's arrest. Though a New York City police spokesman said Strauss-Kahn does not have diplomatic immunity, the officer could not say with certainty whether that's accurate, but said the department is reviewing his status. The IMF also said it's not commenting on the arrest but issued a statement saying, "The IMF remains fully functioning and operational." The Wall Street Journal reported that John Lipsky, Strauss-Kahn's first deputy, has been in the acting managing director role since Strauss-Kahn left D.C. for New York. It's not the first time that the thrice-married Strauss-Kahn has been in trouble for his relationships. In 2008, an outside lawyer hired by the IMF to investigate three complaints made about Strauss-Kahn's behavior concluded that he did not force an ex-lover to accept a payout from the IMF and move to another organization. The executive board at the IMF took no action against Strauss-Kahn but warned him about behavior toward female staff. Strauss-Kahn reportedly offered an apology to the board. His wife, French newswoman Anne Sinclair, wrote it off as a "one night stand." At the time, French commentators claimed the investigation's timing was suspicious since it coincided with the IMF push toward a global currency. "It's very odd that it comes just at the moment when people are talking about the IMF and its head taking a lead role in creating a new global financial order which will not necessarily be to the advantage of wealthy, right-wing Americans," a French economist and government adviser told Britain's Observer newspaper. But Paul said the IMF's moves toward a world currency are "a threat to us." "I would like to go to a sound American currency, but others want to go to a world currency. They want to use the IMF," he said.

Julio Cortez/Associated PressThe Paris lawyer for the woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by Strauss-Kahn nine years ago said she wants to file a legal complaint against him. Lawyer David Koubbi said Tristane Banon did not file suit earlier due to "pressures" she faced over the alleged 2002 sexual assault by Strauss-Kahn and was dissuaded by her own mother, a regional Socialist official.

Strauss-Kahn Lawyers See Alibi in Sex Case: Reporthttp://www.cnbc.com/id/43037774Lawyers for Dominique Strauss-Kahn have proof the IMF chief was at a restaurant having lunch with his daughter at the time he was alleged to be sexually assaulting a hotel maid, France's RMC radio reported on Monday. RMC said the lawyers had pieced together Strauss-Kahn's movements and found that he left the hotel at midday, after paying his bill and handing in his key, then went to eat with his daughter and took a taxi to the airport. The schedule meant he had already left the hotel at the time the maid alleged he chased her down a corridor, forced her into a room and assaulted her, RMC reported on its website, adding that the lawyers had material evidence and witnesses.

BAIL DENIED!!! http://www.canada.com/business/chief+accused+hotel+maid+assault+denied+bail/4791026/story.html IMF chief denied bail in sex assault case NEW YORK - IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was denied bail on Monday on charges he attempted to rape a hotel maid, a crushing blow for the man until recently considered a front-runner for the French presidency and who oversaw world finance. Looking tired, with a light stubble and wearing the same clothes as on Sunday, Strauss-Kahn listened as prosecutors told a Manhattan Criminal Court judge they are investigating whether he may have engaged in similar conduct once before. Strauss-Kahn faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted and he should be held behind bars because he might flee to France, the prosecutors said. Defense lawyers failed to get Strauss-Kahn released on $1 million bail. They denied the charges against their client, whose arrest has thrown the IMF into turmoil just as it is trying to help fix the euro zone's deep debt crisis. "We are obviously disappointed by the court's decision. We will prove . . . that Mr Strauss-Kahn is innocent of these charges," defense attorney Ben Brafman told reporters. "His principal intention is to try and clear his name and re-establish his good name." It was Strauss-Kahn's first appearance in court since he allegedly sexually assaulted a chamber maid who came to clean his room at the Sofitel in Times Square. He was pulled off an Air France jet on Saturday minutes before it left for Paris. The case has altered France's political landscape and left the IMF leadership in turmoil. The judge set May 20 as the next date for the case. A defense lawyer said Strauss-Kahn did not flee the hotel and that the person he was having lunch with on Saturday, the day of the incident, will testify on his behalf. On Sunday the maid, 32, picked Strauss-Kahn from a police lineup that included five other men, a police spokesman said. Graphic details were described by prosecutors in the courtroom. They alleged Strauss-Kahn shut the door of his hotel room to prevent the maid from leaving. "He grabbed the victim's chest without consent, attempted to remove her pantyhose, and forcibly grabbed the victim's vaginal area," the prosecutors' office said in a written statement, summarizing the complaint against Strauss-Kahn. "His penis made contact with the victim's mouth twice through the use of force." The judge's order that Strauss-Kahn should be kept in custody in New York raises further questions about his future as the globe-trotting managing director of the IMF. The IMF board was due to meet informally on Monday for an update on its managing director. His second in command, John Lipsky, already has been put in charge in Strauss-Kahn's absence. The White House said the United States, the single biggest member of the fund, remained confident in the IMF's ability to do its job. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom Strauss-Kahn had been due to meet on Sunday, said that finding a successor for the Frenchman was "not a question for today," but there were good grounds to have a European candidate ready. European sources said French Economy Minister Christine Lagarde had been picking up support before the Strauss-Kahn news broke. Former Turkish Economy Minister Kemal Dervis is considered a favorite among the non-European possibilities. FORENSIC EXAMINATION The IMF chief underwent a forensic examination by police looking for scratches or evidence of his alleged assault. Strauss-Kahn led the IMF through the 2007-09 global financial meltdown, pressing for stimulus measures and interest rate cuts to avoid a depression. He has been central in galvanizing Europe to tackle its debt woes. The IMF said Strauss-Kahn had been in New York on private business during his $3,000-a-night stay at a luxury suite in the New York hotel. French Socialist party leader Martine Aubry called the pictures of the IMF chief, which dominated news bulletins, "profoundly humiliating" and told reporters: "Fortunately in France we have a law on the presumption of innocence which means that at this stage of proceedings, people cannot be shown like this." More allegations involving Strauss-Kahn surfaced in Paris, where a lawyer said a woman writer was considering filing a legal complaint against the IMF chief over an alleged sexual incident dating back to 2002. NAKED CHASE Police have said the maid had described how the naked IMF chief sprang on her from the bathroom of his hotel suite, chased her down a hall, pulled her into a bedroom and assaulted her. She told police she broke free but that he dragged her into the bathroom where he forced himself on her again. Strauss-Kahn's wife, French television personality Anne Sinclair, jumped to her husband's defense, saying she did not believe the accusations "for a single second," and other supporters in France cautioned against a rush to judgment. Police say Strauss-Kahn left his suite in such a rush that he left his mobile phone behind, but a French tourist who said she saw him check out told France 2 television he had appeared calm and in no hurry. After he called the hotel from John F. Kennedy airport asking about his phone, police found him in the first-class section of an Air France flight bound for Paris. He was pulled from the flight minutes before takeoff. Police say the IMF chief does not have diplomatic immunity from the charges. Defense attorney Brafman is a high-profile criminal lawyer who was part of the team that successfully defended pop singer Michael Jackson against child molestation charges in 2005. Brafman also won an acquittal on weapons and bribery charges against rap mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. In France, Strauss-Kahn had not yet declared his candidacy but was widely expected to seek the Socialist Party nomination. Early opinion polls gave him a big lead over conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, who is likely to seek a second term at the election next April. France's government as well as Strauss-Kahn's allies and rivals called for caution and respect for the presumption of innocence. But unless the case against him collapses rapidly, it is hard to see how he could enter the Socialist primary, for which the deadline for candidates to declare is July 13. That leaves former party leader Francois Hollande and 2007 presidential candidate Segolene Royal as the only declared Socialist contenders, but Aubry or former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius might join the race if Strauss-Kahn is out. French voters are famously tolerant of political leaders' extramarital affairs, but the allegations against Strauss-Kahn are entirely different, and much more serious. The IMF faces embarrassing questions of its own, because Strauss-Kahn's character had been questioned before. In 2008, he apologized for "an error of judgment after an affair with a female IMF economist who was his subordinate. The fund's board warned him against improper conduct, but cleared him of harassment and abuse of power and kept him in his job. It will now face new scrutiny over whether that response was too weak, especially as there have been persistent rumors about Strauss-Kahn making sexual advances to women. The left-leaning French daily Liberation published comments it said he had made at a private lunch with reporters last month in which he said the three most difficult hurdles for his presidential bid would be "money, women and my Jewishness." |

His lawyers could prove he was eating lunch with Donald Duck, then again it could be true he was sharing a buffet with his daughter, who knows?
What do the cops say, not to much do they, wonder why. They do have higher ups, they aree scared shiit of loosing their jobs, National Security-no in so many words but it can be cleverly said nonetheless.
All this gunk behind us, this show has been sketchy from the beggining, it will remain so.
The proof lies with the maids background, survelance cameras and by God this swanky hotel has them.
Details, body marks, fingernail particles, who paid for the room, who registers, what times are logged in, again the lobby must have cams, who turned in the keys, who picked this guy up-taxi or driver, who arrainged the airlines passage and when was it done, what time did he arrive at the airport, and on and on. If this is a scon, it was well prepared, if not this guy is a perverted sukbag who has been well protected by his fellow elites, SOP..

I have read in an article that the NYPD conveniently adjusted the time of the incident so that the alibi doesnt work anymore. Wall Street Journal says it happened 12 pm now. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703730804576323912847808664.htmlPolice said a 32-year-old cleaning woman accused Mr. Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting her in the Sofitel Hotel near Times Square. The alleged victim, a native of Guinea and mother of two, said she entered room 2806, a $3,000-a-night luxury suite, around 12 p.m. on Saturday to clean it, thinking it was empty, according to a law-enforcement official with knowledge of the case. Mr. Strauss-Kahn checked out of the Sofitel at 12:28 p.m., police said. So what is it now? Rape 1 pm like the NYT said? Also another interesting thing a German article pointed out that it supposed to have happened in room 2806. He claimed on June 28th are primaries in France... couldnt find any information on that though. |

Meet the new boss--same as the old boss---A SCUM ZOMBIE BANK BANKER!!!!!I.M.F. Names New Leader Hours after its chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was arrested in connection with the alleged sexual attack of a maid at a Midtown Manhattan hotel, the International Monetary Fund on Sunday named John Lipsky as acting managing director. Mr. Lipsky, the I.M.F.’s first deputy managing director, is a former U.S. Treasury executive and onetime banker at JP Morgan. William Murray, an I.M.F. spokesman, said that Mr. Lipsky, who has been overseeing the logistics of the bailout of the Greek economy, would meet with members of the I.M.F. board in Washington later in the day, according to Reuters. “In line with standard I.M.F. procedures, John Lipsky, first deputy managing director, is acting managing director while the M.D. is not in D.C.,” Mr. Murray said in a statement. “Mr. Lipsky will chair the informal Board session today.”

Dominique Strauss-Kahn Sex Scandal http://darkstarastrology.com/dominique-strauss-kahn-horoscope-sexual-scandal/ Dominique Strauss-Kahn Natal Horoscope, Astrology chart, Sex Scandal. Suspended head of the IMF Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested on May 11 2011 for allegedly sodomizing a maid in his New York motel room. Dominique has been accused of rape before, and has also publicly apologized for having an affair. We have his exact time of birth [1] and the exact time of his arrest [2], so the astrology should tell us if Dominique does in fact have a tendency for playing up and if this latest accusation has merits. Transiting Pluto is trine his Venus greatly intensifying his love nature, increasing his need for sexual stimulation, Pluto is deep and probing. His Venus is conjunct the fixed star Hamal in constellation Aries. Adolf Hitler and JFK also has Venus on this star. Marina found that Hamal causes competetiveness in love which often leads to promiscuity. Ebertin mentions suffering in the love life and even sadism [3]. The January 2011 solar eclipse was square his Midheaven so this describes the challenge to his career and social standing. The solar eclipse was also square his Neptune so there was a danger of becoming entangled in an intrigue effecting the career. His Neptune is conjunct the malevolent fixed star Algorab. Transiting Uranus conjunct his Moon brings sudden upsets involving women and also erratic or impulsive actions. Robert Hand actually states “Sudden infatuations with the opposite sex, especially if you are a man” [4]. The December 2010 lunar eclipse was conjunct his Uranus, so this is like a double whammy effect. Dominique’s Uranus in on the fixed star Betelgeuse, the Hunting Man. Now things get interestiing because you can see in his horoscope below that he has a Yod aspect pattern. Saturn sextile Uranus both quincunx Jupiter on the Descendant. Uranus has been activated by the lunar eclipse. Saturn was also activated at the exact moment of his arrest. The setting star at that time was Regulus, the same star his Saturn is on. Regulus is a Mars-Jupiter natured star, sexy and bold. It is also in line with a little star called Phecda, which when linked to Neptune, as it is by aspect and transit, is associated with a “pathological sex nature”. To top it all off, transiting Neptune is opposite his Saturn. With Jupiter at the action point of his Yod, this means that one to one relationships his strength and also his weakness, it is his mission in life to conquer any issues here. Jupiter conjunct Descendant means he he can go to excess in this area. His Jupiter is conjunct the fixed star in Aquila the Eagle called Altair, which like Regulus is a sexy Mars-Jupiter natured star. With Neptune rising at the moment of arrest, plus his Neptune aspected by the solar eclipse, and transiting Neptune opposite his Saturn, there is the possibility of a set up or some conspiracy, but there are also many indicators in his chart that he has a high sex drive which is heightened at the moment. The recent conjunction of Mercury, Venus and Jupiter was conjunct his Mars (sex).  1. “Paddy de Jabrun quotes birth certificate”, Roden Rating AA, Astro Databank. 2. “The New York Police Department arrested Mr. Strauss-Kahn at 2:15 a.m. Sunday” The New York Times 3.

Strauss-Kahn sex scandal obscures real IMF storyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMMkxyYQdjU&feature=player_embeddedMainstream American media turned its attention towards the International Monetary Fund this week, but coverage didn't concern the looming economic crisis. Instead, it is the sex scandal of IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn that has turned heads today. Is this news of an alleged rape a legitimate story or merely smoke and mirrors to obscure the real story? Former Reagan administration official Paul Craig Roberts shares his take on it.

If there was not something going on in the smoke, this smuck would have been protected.
We won't know for sure if this entire charade was a setup untill the facts come out, but guess what, they won't.

How about the Clinton - Lewinsky side show as the MIC did Bosnia with DU? Could be a titillating tale of sordid sexual escapades of the Gods. The man behind the curtain has many puppets to throw away.
Seriously, the head of the IMF? If this were not staged that woman would be paid off or dead. I think it is staged.
Good point, this distraction is drawing attention away from the reality of the IMF. |

Who knows, maybe Sarkozy wasn't ready to leave office just yet and called in a favor, but I do think it is a deliberate event. I don't think he was simply caught red-handed being a perv. I think somebody decided he was becoming a liability that was no longer wanted.

May 19, 2011 http://atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/ME19Dj02.html THE ROVING EYE Sex, power and American justiceBy Pepe Escobar So Osama bin Laden won't be the main character in the trial of the century after all; by a simple twist of fate, that role will be played by Dominique Strauss-Khan (DSK), the all-powerful head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), now languishing at "Alcatraz" Rikers Island in New York. The fact that this acronym soup has just been auditioning, despite himself, to the world-famous New York Police Department, complete with the last-minute snatch in the first class cabin of a trans-Atlantic flight, police line up and perp walk, makes it the ultimate sociopolitical global scandal. On a nastier, New York tabloid level, it was hard to escape the scintillating metaphor of the IMF - with its reputation for screwing the world's poor - literally applying a structural adjustment in a Manhattan hotel suite to a discreet African Muslim immigrant widow who lives in the Bronx with her teenage daughter. The merciless media execution had to be as massive as the event itself. Arguably, DSK is luckier than Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, because he'll be facing a New York jury and not the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. Unlike Gaddafi, DSK - at least in theory - is innocent until proven guilty, although he has already been convicted by the gutter press. Less visible on both sides of the Atlantic have been sane intellects pointing out that Wall Street crooks swindling average people out of trillions of dollars; BP executives destroying the Gulf of Mexico; and as a matter of fact the George W Bush administration bankrupting the US by launching a war that killed over 1 million Iraqi civilians - none of them were slapped with a perp walk. That much is established; as far as "American justice" is concerned, the chances of seeing Bush administration or Goldman Sachs perpetrators in handcuffs are zero. Making whoopee To follow in detail the media hysteria on both sides of the Atlantic has been more fascinating than a trip to Mars. In France, it was all but certain that DSK would become the next president in the 2012 elections, beating sagging neo-Napoleonic liberator of Libya Nicolas Sarkozy. DSK - the weapon of choice of the financial powers behind the throne - was about to announce his candidacy this month. The overall tone of French mainstream media - by the way largely subservient to Sarkozy and his minions - is that the Americans, confirming all existing anti-French stereotyping, humiliated the country by parading a handcuffed DSK in a perp walk (illegal in France) and refusing his US$1 million bail. American justice, Law and Order-style, is being dragged into the mud as much as American Puritanism. Meanwhile, among catatonic sympathizers of the Socialist Party, conspiracy theories inevitably swirl. At least most of France apparently has established that the Sofitel chambermaid from Guinea was not a Mata Hari. But maybe she is a Central Intelligence Agency agent. Then there's the nagging twitter - amplified by a Sarkozy minion - announcing DSK had been "arrested" even before the New York police uttered a peep; a worldwide scoop. No less than 57% of French voters and 70% of socialists believe DSK was framed. Cui bono - in case of a conspiracy? Certainly Sarkozy benefits, his presidential re-election campaign and his ultra-conservative American connections; the neo-fascists of the National Front in France, whose candidate, the businesslike Marine Le Pen, stands a greater chance of getting to the second round in 2012; and global financial sharks unhappy with the more "liberalizing" IMF stance under DSK. Ultra-charismatic DSK is a suave Moet & Chandon socialist. If he were a bank, DSK would be in the "too big to fail" category. He did fail - but not as a bank. If he were an American politician, he would be like former president Bill Clinton - penchant for making whoopee included. "Bubba" was almost booted out of supreme power by a gang of rabid puritans for a mere blowjob in the White House. The Paris cocktail circuit simply cannot fathom that notorious womanizer DSK would be foolish enough to risk a presidency for a French-speaking African Muslim housekeeper. Thus the thesis that this was all a misunderstanding; DSK was waiting for a high-class New York call girl when the unsuspecting chambermaid entered the lion's den and found the lion fully armed. This close encounter between the IMF and a sub-Saharan African developing economy does not imply that DSK is a champion of the poor, or the working class. Far from being a socialist, DSK has been a prime companion of the global financial elites and multinational capital. But there was a very interesting twist to it. The sorriest aspect of the whole sordid affair is that DSK was really trying to reform the IMF - turning the unrepresentative behemoth towards a more progressive line. He was widely praised as a top manager. His interim successor is American John Lipsky - a former vice president at JP Morgan; talk about a regression. DSK was trying to steer the IMF away from its nefarious role during the Asian financial crisis. At that time in 1997, the IMF's harsh US Treasury Department-inspired medicine, immensely profitable to creditors, almost destroyed whole economies, from Thailand to Indonesia. Brazil and Russia also suffered. Then it was time to "tame" Argentina - but Argentina defaulted in late 2001. The IMF did everything possible to sabotage the country; but Argentina's economy stabilized and the country started to grow again in 2002. Emerging markets are fed up with the IMF being led by a European. A Frenchman has run the IMF for 26 out of the past 33 years. The distribution of power is Medieval; there are nine Europeans among the 24 directors; the Brazilian director represents nine countries, but his vote weighs only 2.4%; the US vote counts four-fold. Those 24 executive directors now will choose the next IMF head. The Europeans are already involved in a vicious catfight - they don't want to surrender the prize. Prospects anyway are bright for Kemal Dervis from Turkey, or candidates from India and South Africa. China is still weighing whether to enter the ring. Were DSK's demise to open the door for an emerging economy leader of the IMF, what spectacular poetic justice, that it will be thanks to an African Muslim immigrant woman. Pepe Escobar is the author of Globalistan: How the Globalized World is Dissolving into Liquid War (Nimble Books, 2007) and Red Zone Blues: a snapshot of Baghdad during the surge. His new book, just out, is Obama does Globalistan (Nimble Books, 2009). He may be reached at pepeasia@yahoo.com. http://atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/ME19Dj02.html |

Strauss-Kahn simply had to be eliminated.
The Amerikan Police State Strides Forward
By Paul Craig Roberts http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28122.htmMay 18, 2011 "Information Clearing House" -- 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. In the spun story, Strauss-Kahn is portrayed as so deprived of sex that he attempted to rape a hotel maid. Anyone who ever served on the staff of a powerful public figure knows that this is unlikely. On a senator’s staff on which I served, there were two aides whose job was to make certain that no woman, with the exception of his wife, was ever alone with the senator. This was done to protect the senator both from female power groupies, who lust after celebrities and powerful men, and from women sent by a rival on missions to compromise an opponent. A powerful man such as Strauss-Kahn would not have been starved for women, and as a multi-millionaire he could certainly afford to make his own discreet arrangements. As Henry Kissinger said, “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.” In politics, sex is handed out as favors and payoffs, and it is used as a honey trap. Some Americans will remember that Senator Packwood’s long career (1969-1995) was destroyed by a female lobbyist, suspected, according to rumors, of sexual conquests of Senators, who charged that Packwood propositioned her in his office. Perhaps what inspired the charge was that Packwood was in the way of her employer’s legislative agenda. Even those who exercise care can be framed by allegations of an event to which there are no witnesses. On May 16 the British Daily Mail reported that prior to Strauss-Kahn’s fateful departure for New York, the French newspaper, Liberation, published comments he made while discussing his plans to challenge Sarkozy for the presidency of France. Strauss-Kahn said that as he was the clear favorite to beat Sarkozy, he would be subjected to a smear campaign by Sarkozy and his interior minister, Glaude Gueant. Strauss-Kahn predicted that a woman would be offered between 500,000 and 1,000,000 euros (more than $1,000,000) to make up a story that he raped her. The Daily Mail reports that Strauss-Kahn’s suspicions are supported by the fact that the first person to break the news of Strauss-Kahn’s arrest was an activist in Mr Sarkozy’s UMP party – who apparently knew about the scandal before it happened. Jonathan Pinet, a politics student, tweeted the news just before the New York Police Department made it public, although he said that he simply had a ‘friend’ working at the Sofitel where the attack was said to have happened. The first person to re-tweet Mr Pinet was Arnaud Dassier, a spin doctor who had previously publicised details of multi-millionaire Strauss-Kahn’s luxurious lifestyle in a bid to dent his left wing credentials. Strauss-Kahn could just as easily been set up by rivals inside the IMF, as well as by rivals within the French political establishment. Michelle Sabban, a senior councillor for the greater Paris region and a Strauss-Kahn loyalist said: ‘I am convinced it is an international conspiracy.’ She added: ‘It's the IMF they wanted to decapitate, not so much the Socialist primary candidate. ‘It's not like him. Everyone knows that his weakness is seduction, women. That's how they got him.’ Even some of Strauss-Kahn’s rivals said they could not believe the news. ‘It is totally hallucinatory,’ said centrist Dominique Paille. ‘If it is true, this would be a historic moment, but in the negative sense, for French political life. I hope that everyone respects the presumption of innocence. I cannot manage to believe this affair.’ And Henri de Raincourt, minister for overseas co-operation in President Nicolas Sarkozy's government, added: ‘We cannot rule out the thought of a trap.’ Michelle Sabban is on to something when she says the IMF was the target. Strauss-Kahn is the first IMF director who is not lined up on the side of the rich against the poor. Strauss-Kahn’s suspicions were of Sarkozy, but Wall Street and the US government also had strong reasons to eliminate him. Wall Street is terrified by the prospect of regulation, and Washington was embarrassed by the recent IMF report that China’s economy would surpass the US economy within five years. An international conspiracy is not out of the question. Indeed, the plot is unfolding as a conspiracy. Authorities have produced a French woman who claims she was a near rape victim of Strauss-Kahn a decade ago. It would be interesting to know whether this allegation is the result of a threat or a bribe. As in the case of Julian Assange, there are now two women to accuse Strauss-Kahn. Once the prosecutors get the odds of two females against one male, they win in the media. It has not been revealed how the authorities knew Strauss-Kahn was on a flight to France. However, by arresting him aboard his scheduled flight just as it was to depart, the authorities created the image of a man fleeing from a crime. The way Amerikan justice (sic) works is that prosecutors in about 96 percent of the cases get a plea bargain. US prosecutors are permitted by judges and the public to pay for testimony against the defendant and to put sufficient pressure on innocent defendants to coerce them into making a guilty plea in exchange for lesser charges and a lighter sentence. Unless the hotel maid has a spell of bad conscience and admits she was paid to lie, or gets cold feet about perjuring herself, Strauss-Kahn is likely to find that Amerikan criminal justice (sic) is organized to produce conviction regardless of innocence or guilt. On May 16, the day following Strauss-Kahn’s arrest, the US Supreme Court threw its weight behind the Amerikan police state by destroying the remains of the Fourth Amendment with an 8-1 ruling that, the U.S. Constitution notwithstanding, Amerika’s police do not need warrants to invade homes and search persons. This ruling is more evidence that every American is regarded as a potential enemy of the state, not only by Airport Security but also by the high muckety-mucks in Washington. The conservatives’ “war on crime” has created a police state, and conservatives, who originally stood for limited government and civil liberty, are euphoric over the expanded and unaccountable powers that a conservative Supreme Court has handed to the police. On the same day the federal government reached the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, which forced the Treasury to “borrow” money from federal employee pensions in order to continue funding Amerika’s illegal wars and crimes against humanity. The breached debt ceiling serves as an appropriate marker for a country that has squandered its constitutional heritage and has arrived at moral as well as fiscal bankruptcy. UPDATE - In the several hours since I wrote this article, authorities have announced that Strauss-Kahn, who was refused bail on specious grounds, has been put on suicide watch. Why announce it unless it serves an agenda? From the beginning every statement and action of the authorities is designed to convey the impression of guilt. Is putting Strauss-Kahn on suicide watch a way to paint a picture of a person who can't face the public humiliation of his crime? Is it a way to use the humiliation of constant interruption to break down his character and resolve? Or might it be to plant the idea that should he expire in prison, suicide is the explanation? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28122.htm

Suicide watch! Wow the agents of darkness are moving fast on this one., Madam Palfrey time. http://beta.news.yahoo.com/french-politician-suicide-watch-york-070804835.htmlClassic MSM pitch to the peeps--He strangles kittens and puppies too, he is evil!!!!! The maid came from one of the world's poorest countries to the U.S. (You feel SYMPATHY!!! YOU FEEL IT!!!) , working to support the teen daughter she raised alone(You feel SYMPATHY!!! YOU FEEL IT) . To her, the penthouse suite at the Sofitel Hotel was just another empty room to clean (She was innocent! You feel SYMPATHY!!! YOU FEEL IT!!!) .
(You feel DISCUST and HATE for that evil doer, the famous French politician!!! YOU FEEL IT!!!) NYC maid's lawyer: Case vs. IMF chief not a setup (It's NOT a SET-UP!!! NOT, NOT, NOT--I SAY)(You believe this!!! YOU BELIEVE IT!!)The Associated PressBy CHRIS HAWLEY - Associated Press The maid came from one of the world's poorest countries to the U.S., working to support the teen daughter she raised alone. To her, the penthouse suite at the Sofitel Hotel was just another empty room to clean. She says she had no idea there was a man inside or that he was a famous French politician. She says he was naked, chased her down and tried to rape her. The man, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, remained jailed under a suicide watch Wednesday as a lawyer for the woman sought to rebut whispered allegations that her charges were a conspiracy and a setup. Calls intensified for the 62-year-old Strauss-Kahn to step down as head of the powerful International Monetary Fund, with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner saying Strauss-Kahn "is obviously not in a position to run" the agency. Strauss-Kahn was one of France's most high-profile politicians and a potential candidate for president in next year's elections. His arrest on charges including attempted rape shocked France and cast intense attention on his accuser, a 32-year-old chambermaid from the West African nation of Guinea. On Tuesday her lawyer, Jeffrey Shapiro, said he had no doubts his client was telling the truth about her encounter with Strauss-Kahn on Saturday. "She came from a country in which poor people had little or no justice, and she's now in a country where the poor have the same rights as do the rich and the powerful," Shapiro said. "What (Strauss-Kahn) might be able to get away with in some countries, he can't here in this country." Strauss-Kahn's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said at his client's arraignment this week that defense lawyers believe the forensic evidence "will not be consistent with a forcible encounter." But Shapiro dismissed suggestions that the woman had made up the charges or tried to cover up a consensual encounter.

A powerful man such as Strauss-Kahn would not have been starved for women, and as a multi-millionaire he could certainly afford to make his own discreet arrangements. As Henry Kissinger said, “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.” In politics, sex is handed out as favors and payoffs, and it is used as a honey trap. Some Americans will remember that Senator Packwood’s long career (1969-1995) was destroyed by a female lobbyist, suspected, according to rumors, of sexual conquests of Senators, who charged that Packwood propositioned her in his office. Perhaps what inspired the charge was that Packwood was in the way of her employer’s legislative agenda. Even those who exercise care can be framed by allegations of an event to which there are no witnesses. On May 16 the British Daily Mail reported that prior to Strauss-Kahn’s fateful departure for New York, the French newspaper, Liberation, published comments he made while discussing his plans to challenge Sarkozy for the presidency of France. Strauss-Kahn said that as he was the clear favorite to beat Sarkozy, he would be subjected to a smear campaign by Sarkozy and his interior minister, Glaude Gueant. Strauss-Kahn predicted that a woman would be offered between 500,000 and 1,000,000 euros (more than $1,000,000) to make up a story that he raped her. The Daily Mail reports that Strauss-Kahn’s suspicions are supported by the fact that the first person to break the news of Strauss-Kahn’s arrest was an activist in Mr Sarkozy’s UMP party – who apparently knew about the scandal before it happened. Jonathan Pinet, a politics student, tweeted the news just before the New York Police Department made it public, although he said that he simply had a ‘friend’ working at the Sofitel where the attack was said to have happened. The first person to re-tweet Mr Pinet was Arnaud Dassier, a spin doctor who had previously publicised details of multi-millionaire Strauss-Kahn’s luxurious lifestyle in a bid to dent his left wing credentials. Strauss-Kahn could just as easily been set up by rivals inside the IMF, as well as by rivals within the French political establishment. Michelle Sabban, a senior councillor for the greater Paris region and a Strauss-Kahn loyalist said: ‘I am convinced it is an international conspiracy.’ She added: ‘It's the IMF they wanted to decapitate, not so much the Socialist primary candidate. ‘It's not like him. Everyone knows that his weakness is seduction, women. That's how they got him.’ Even some of Strauss-Kahn’s rivals said they could not believe the news. ‘It is totally hallucinatory,’ said centrist Dominique Paille. ‘If it is true, this would be a historic moment, but in the negative sense, for French political life. I hope that everyone respects the presumption of innocence. I cannot manage to believe this affair.’ And Henri de Raincourt, minister for overseas co-operation in President Nicolas Sarkozy's government, added: ‘We cannot rule out the thought of a trap.’ Michelle Sabban is on to something when she says the IMF was the target. Strauss-Kahn is the first IMF director who is not lined up on the side of the rich against the poor. Strauss-Kahn’s suspicions were of Sarkozy, but Wall Street and the US government also had strong reasons to eliminate him. Wall Street is terrified by the prospect of regulation, and Washington was embarrassed by the recent IMF report that China’s economy would surpass the US economy within five years. An international conspiracy is not out of the question. Indeed, the plot is unfolding as a conspiracy. Authorities have produced a French woman who claims she was a near rape victim of Strauss-Kahn a decade ago. It would be interesting to know whether this allegation is the result of a threat or a bribe. As in the case of Julian Assange, there are now two women to accuse Strauss-Kahn. Once the prosecutors get the odds of two females against one male, they win in the media. It has not been revealed how the authorities knew Strauss-Kahn was on a flight to France. However, by arresting him aboard his scheduled flight just as it was to depart, the authorities created the image of a man fleeing from a crime. The way Amerikan justice (sic) works is that prosecutors in about 96 percent of the cases get a plea bargain. US prosecutors are permitted by judges and the public to pay for testimony against the defendant and to put sufficient pressure on innocent defendants to coerce them into making a guilty plea in exchange for lesser charges and a lighter sentence. Unless the hotel maid has a spell of bad conscience and admits she was paid to lie, or gets cold feet about perjuring herself, Strauss-Kahn is likely to find that Amerikan criminal justice (sic) is organized to produce conviction regardless of innocence or guilt. On May 16, the day following Strauss-Kahn’s arrest, the US Supreme Court threw its weight behind the Amerikan police state by destroying the remains of the Fourth Amendment with an 8-1 ruling that, the U.S. Constitution notwithstanding, Amerika’s police do not need warrants to invade homes and search persons. This ruling is more evidence that every American is regarded as a potential enemy of the state, not only by Airport Security but also by the high muckety-mucks in Washington. The conservatives’ “war on crime” has created a police state, and conservatives, who originally stood for limited government and civil liberty, are euphoric over the expanded and unaccountable powers that a conservative Supreme Court has handed to the police. On the same day the federal government reached the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, which forced the Treasury to “borrow” money from federal employee pensions in order to continue funding Amerika’s illegal wars and crimes against humanity. The breached debt ceiling serves as an appropriate marker for a country that has squandered its constitutional heritage and has arrived at moral as well as fiscal bankruptcy. UPDATE - In the several hours since I wrote this article, authorities have announced that Strauss-Kahn, who was refused bail on specious grounds, has been put on suicide watch. Why announce it unless it serves an agenda? From the beginning every statement and action of the authorities is designed to convey the impression of guilt. Is putting Strauss-Kahn on suicide watch a way to paint a picture of a person who can't face the public humiliation of his crime? Is it a way to use the humiliation of constant interruption to break down his character and resolve? Or might it be to plant the idea that should he expire in prison, suicide is the explanation? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28122.htm You got Paul Craig Roberts, you got baby! Guaran--F_CKING--teed!!!! "U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner saying Strauss-Kahn "is obviously not in a position to run" the agency." Team Obama/Goldman Sachs drives the another nail into Strauss-Kahn's coffin. |

They are all a pile of maggots crawling around.
Sure, both oppinions have value.
This gal, is she under controll, was this staged, is she but a plant, was it for money, does anyone truly know, or are we simply speculating, sharing concepts.
This freak is just one of the many maggots in the shiiitpile, but folks the smoke screen is fuming, you can bet your bippy other influences are coloring this to their liking. They sketched thedetails, sketched mind you, no hard facts whatsoever are there.
A 3000.00 night hotel room does not have survelance, the lobby doesn't, the exit of his hotel, who rented the suite, when was his arilines ticket booked-time-caller-payer, what was his transport after he left the hotel. Has he a history of sexual abuse. Was a physical done, scratches, bruises, etc. Would he submit to a lie detector.
The woman, how long has she been employed, her work history, any arrests, any physical evidence, fingernails cleaned, abrasion, was her clothng ripped off-if so was there any analysis,
We won't be privy to any FN details, not the ones that truly matter and we know that. Investigative reporting is a FN joe, our justice dept is pizzzing itself at this moment, that is unless this was an on the table senario. Hi team of super lawyers claim he was brunching with witneses and his daughter, eithere way ture or not, this can be arranged. So tell me who has the proof, the real deal.
