The Amerikan Police State Strides Forward - Strauss-Kahn simply had to be eliminated

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.

    • Yeah, I'm not entirely sure why this is such a huge deal. Sarkozy paid for relations with an underage girl at a party. Unless DSK's victim's face looks like swiss steak, I might still side with DSK.

      Who would get more time in the US "justice" system? Sarkozy would be on the sex offenders list certainly, right?

      I think you are confusing Sarkozy with Berlusconi - I've been following Sarkozy's career for many years, he never paid for relations with an underage girl at a party but Berlusconi did.

    • From hillbilly school boards to corporate board rooms everyone with an eye to destroying competitors knows that the allegation alone of sex scandal will produce the required damage.
      I have no idea whether Dominique Strauss-Kahn was bereft enough of his senses to try and rape a hotel maid, although I do know the media has gone to great lengths to report on hints and allegations of past behavior of his that would lend even more credence to the charges.
      If he's innocent, it wouldn't be the first time an innocent man was smeared or entrapped in this now hoary old ruse.
      (It's gotten to be an expected game plan cliche' now in modern political life, as this article points out.)
      If he did "rape" the maid it wouldn't be the first time a man let his little head stupidly and tragically over-determine his behavior.
      If you do want to smear a political figure the US is the best place to do it.
      US media, (and US politicians) pander to the fears and resentments of its most active larger audience. (Sorry to sound chauvanistic but as you may know, that's women.)
      I'm a bit skeptical given the circumstances, but I imagine we'll see in one way or the other soon.
      In any case, if it was a frame, the damage has already been done.

    • The first thing that tipped me off that something stunk about this was when the police reported that Strauss-Kahn was put on suicide watch. What better way to portray the innocent as guilty,"Oh, he's on SW! He must be feeling guilty about what he did!". NY AG Eric Schniederman is probably the next target. I posted something about this a few
      days ago but it never made it to the front page so I;m not sure if anyone saw it. Check out the NY Times from the 17th of may for the story.

    • The man was and is being framed to destroy his career. Typical motis oprerandi of the elite to destroy people with false sexual allegations.

    • From the article:

      "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."

      This seems to have escaped the attention of most people who have decided he is guilty.
