Like all oligarchs, IMF boss Dominique Strauss- Kahn thought he was above the law (and after witnessing the financial crisis of 2008 who could blame him). After all the IMF has financially raped numerous third world countries and has gotten away with it so the concept is fully ingrained into the organization's culture. This incident raises questions of whether American taxpayers can trust the IMF to manage such a powerful supranational organization, which relies on the US for a large part of its funding. It also puts the IMF's plans of establishing itself as a global central bank and issuing its own currency (the Bancor) on the bank burner for now.
According to news reports, the incident occurred yesterday at the Sofitel hotel in New York ( a $3,000 dollar a night suite--US taxpayer funded of course). Apparently, a maid came into the suite to clean it when Mr. Strauss-Kahn allegedly forced himself on her, and tried to coerce her into giving him oral sex. The maid resisted and was able to escape the clutches of her attacker and reported the incident to hotel staff. Mr. Strauss-Kahn realizing that he was in major trouble, immediately fled the scene. His destination was the airport to get the hell out of the country as soon as possible. The perp bolted from the hotel so quickly that he forgot his cellphone.
Unfortunately, for Mr. Strauss-Kahn NYPD detectives tracked him down and pulled him off his get-away plane (headed for France) minutes before departure. He was of course, travelling first class--at US taxpayer expense.
With such damning evidence against him, Mr. Strauss-Kahn will no doubt employ the Bill Clinton defense. He will argue that oral sex is not really sex and that the "incident in question" was consensual. It may be hard to convince a jury that the maid forced herself on the 62 year old IMF boss, but it worth a shot.
It is about time the US ceased funding for the IMF after this shocking scandal. It just goes to show you the character of those running global institutions like the IMF, UN, and World Bank.
Republican Presidential hopeful Ron Paul agrees. Noting that "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 continued, "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."
For those of those who dismiss the idea of the IMF becoming the central bank of central banks and issuing its own currency please see IMF Calls for A New Global Currency. Now ask yourself, do you really want a sexual predator controlling the global economy? It would be like appointing OJ Simpson director of a organization for abused women. It's just something that should not happen.
Why Strauss-Kahn wanted to get to France
One last question remains: why was Strauss-Kahn trying to flee to France. The reason it because France has a long history of providing refugee to sexual predators. This includes people like movie producer Roman Polanski, who raped a under-age girl and Frederic Mitterrand, current French Minister of Culture, who admitted in his autobiography that he enjoyed raping young boys in Bangkok. Despite this confession, Mr. Mitterrand is still a member of the French government. As you can see, the Parisian elite have a soft spot for sexual criminals so it makes sense that Mr. Strauss-Kahn was trying to get to Paris. If Mr. Strauss-Kahn could have made it to France he would have likely gotten away with his crime. Good work NYPD.
