Was Dominique Strauss-Kahn Trying to Torpedo the Dollar?

Courtesy of Mike Whitney 

It's all about perception management. The media is trying to dig up as much dirt as they can on Dominique Strauss-Kahn so they can hang the man before he ever sees the inside of a courthouse. It reminds me of the Terry Schiavo case, where devoted-husband Michael was pegged as an insensitive slimeball for carrying out the explicit wishes of his brain-dead wife. Do you remember how the media conducted their disgraceful 24 hour-a-day Blitzkrieg with the endless coverage of weepy Christian fanatics on the front lawn of the hospital while Hannity, Limbaugh and O' Reilly fired away with their sanctimonious claptrap?

And now you're telling me that that same media is just "doing their job?"

Give me a break.

Whoever wants to nail IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has really pulled out all the stops.  Their agents have been rummaging through diaries, hotel registries, phone records, yearbooks, yada, yada, yada. The UK Telegraph even paid a visit to a high-priced DC knocking shop to get a little dirt from Madame Botox; whatever it takes to make a randy banker look like the South Hill rapist. And they're doing a pretty good job, too. The cops have made sure that the "Great Seducer" always appears handcuffed and dressed in a "pervie" raincoat with 3-days stubble before they parade him in front of the media.  On Wednesday--more grist for the mill--they released his mug-shot, an unflattering, deadpan photo that makes him look like Jack-the-Ripper. Was that the intention? 

And, that's not the half of it. The Big Money is exhuming every woman he's ever had contact with for the last 30 years hoping they can glean some damning tidbit of information that will convince the doubters that beneath that sophisticated manner and $25,000 suit lurks a closet Bluebeard ready to snap up your daughters and defile your wives.   Next thing you know, they'll be trotting out Paula Jones and Tanya Harding claiming they spent a torrid night with the Marquis de Kahn in a trailerpark outside Winamucca.

Where does it stop? Or does it stop? Are we in for another year-long Clinton-Lewinski feeding frenzy where everyday we hear more lurid details about the sexploits of people who don't really interest us at all?

Aren't you at all curious about who's behind this "lynching by media" scam? This is an all-out, no-holds-barred, steel-cage, take-down. The big boys save that kind of action for the worst offenders, that is, for the insiders who have broken "Omerta" or wandered off the reservation. I mean, they locked him up on Riker's Island without bail, for Chrissake. What does that tell you? Even Bernie Madoff was allowed to stay in his $7 million Park Avenue penthouse while he waited for trial, but not Straus-Kahn. Oh, no. He get's the royal treatment, even though he has no criminal record and nothing but the sketchy accusations of a chambermaid against him, he's carted off to the state slammer where he can mingle with hardened criminals while dining on corn flakes and Wonder Bread.

You call that justice?

Can I tell you what this is all about? It's about the dollar. That's right. Strauss-Kahn was mounting an attack against the dollar and now the wrath of the Empire has descended on him like ton-of-bricks.  Here's the scoop from the UK Telegraph:

"Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, has called for a new world currency that would challenge the dominance of the dollar and protect against future financial instability.....

He suggested adding emerging market countries' currencies, such as the yuan, to a basket of currencies that the IMF administers could add stability to the global system....Strauss-Kahn saw a greater role for the IMF's Special Drawing Rights, (SDRs) which is currently composed of the dollar, sterling, euro and yen, over time but said it will take a great deal of international cooperation to make that work." ("International Monetary Fund director Dominique Strauss-Kahn calls for new world currency", UK Telegraph)

So, Strauss-Kahn finds himself in the same crowd as Saddam Hussein and Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, right? You may recall that Saddam switched from dollars to euros about a year before the war. 12 months later Iraq was invaded, Saddam was hanged, and the dollar was restored to power.  Gaddafi made a similar mistake when "he initiated a movement to refuse the dollar and the euro, and called on Arab and African nations to use a new currency instead, the gold dinar." ("Libya: All About Oil, or All About Central Banking?" Ellen Brown, Op-Ed News)  Libya has since come under attack by US and NATO forces which have armed a motley group of dissidents, malcontents and terrorists to depose Gaddafi and reimpose dollar hegemony.

And now it's Strauss-Kahn's turn to get torn to shreds. And for good reason. After all, DSK actually poses a much greater threat to the dollar than either Saddam or Gaddafi because he's in the perfect position to shape policy and to persuade foreign heads of state that replacing the dollar is in their best interests. And that is precisely what he was doing; badmouthing the buck. Only he was too dense to figure out that the dollar is the US Mafia's mealticket, the main way that shifty banksters and corporate scalawags extort tribute from the poorest people on earth. Strauss-Kahn was rocking the boat, and now he's going to pay.

Here's a clip from CNN Money:    

"The International Monetary Fund issued a report Thursday on a possible replacement for the dollar as the world's reserve currency.

The IMF said Special Drawing Rights, or SDRs, could help stabilize the global financial system....SDRs represent potential claims on the currencies of IMF members.....The IMF typically lends countries funds denominated in SDRs. While they are not a tangible currency, some economists argue that SDRs could be used as a less volatile alternative to the U.S. dollar.

"Over time, there may also be a role for the SDR to contribute to a more stable international monetary system," he said.

The goal is to have a reserve asset for central banks that better reflects the global economy since the dollar is vulnerable to swings in the domestic economy and changes in U.S. policy.

In addition to serving as a reserve currency, the IMF also proposed creating SDR-denominated bonds, which could reduce central banks' dependence on U.S. Treasuries. The Fund also suggested that certain assets, such as oil and gold, which are traded in U.S. dollars, could be priced using SDRs." ("IMF discusses dollar alternative", CNN Money)

Wow. So DSK was zeroing in on US Treasuries as well as the dollar? That's the whole shooting match.

So, what type of progress was he making in converting USDs to SDRs? According to Reuters: "The IMF general resources credit outstanding increased to 65.5 billion Special Drawing Rights, or SDRs, ($104 billion) on May 12 from 6.0 billion SDRs at December 2007. The so-called new arrangement to borrow, which came into effect on April 1, increased the IMF's available lending resources to 269 billion SDRs on May 12 from 120 billion SDRs on March 31." (Reuters.com)

Not a bad start for such an ambitious project. It looks like DSK's dream of dethroning the dollar as the de facto "international currency" was beginning to gain momentum.  But didn't he know that his actions would anger some very powerful and well-connected people?

Well, if he did; he never let on. In fact, he started mucking around in other stuff, too, like when he intervened on behalf of Irish taxpayers, trying to protect them at the expense of foreign bondholders. That's a big "No no" in banker's world. They keep a list of "people who count", and taxpayers are not on that list. Here's an excerpt from the Irish Times:

"Ireland’s Last Stand began less shambolically than you might expect. The IMF, which believes that lenders should pay for their stupidity before it has to reach into its pocket, presented the Irish with a plan to haircut €30 billion of unguaranteed bonds by two-thirds on average. (Irish finance minister) Lenihan was overjoyed, according to a source who was there, telling the IMF team: “You are Ireland’s salvation.”

The deal was torpedoed from an unexpected direction. At a conference call with the G7 finance ministers, the haircut was vetoed by US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner who, as his payment of $13 billion from government-owned AIG to Goldman Sachs showed, believes that bankers take priority over taxpayers. The only one to speak up for the Irish was UK chancellor George Osborne, but Geithner, as always, got his way. An instructive, if painful, lesson in the extent of US soft power, and in who our friends really are.

The negotiations went downhill from there. On one side was the European Central Bank, unabashedly representing Ireland’s creditors and insisting on full repayment of bank bonds. On the other was the IMF, arguing that Irish taxpayers would be doing well to balance their government’s books, let alone repay the losses of private banks." ("Ireland's future depends on breaking free from bailout", Morgan Kelly, Irish Times)

So, Strauss-Kahn stuck up for Irish taxpayers over the banks, the bondholders, the ECB, and the US Treasury. Naturally, that made him persona non grata among the ruling throng. 

And, there's more, too, because Strauss-Kahn's vision was not limited to currency alone, but involved broad structural changes to the IMF itself that would have reversed decades of neoliberal policies.  DSK had settled on a new approach to policymaking; one that would abandon the worst elements of globalization and put greater emphasis on social cohesion, cooperation and multilateralism. Here's an excerpt from the speech titled "Human Development and Wealth Distribution" he gave in November 2010:

"....Adam Smith—one of the founders of modern economics—recognized clearly that a poor distribution of wealth could undermine the free market system, noting that: “The disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful and…neglect persons of poor and mean condition…is the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.”

This was over 250 years ago. In today’s world, these problems are magnified under the lens of globalization....globalization also had a dark side. Lurking behind it was a large and growing chasm between rich and poor—especially within countries. An inequitable distribution of wealth can wear down the social fabric. More unequal countries have worse social indicators, a poorer human development record, and higher degrees of economic insecurity and anxiety. In too many countries, inequality increased and real wages stagnated—failing to keep up with productivity—over the past few decades. Ominously, inequality in the United States was back at its pre-Great Depression levels on the eve of the crisis....

An immediate task is to end the scourge of unemployment....Progressive taxation can also promote equity through redistribution, and this should be encouraged....“Inequality is corrosive” ....“it rots societies from within…it illustrates and exacerbates the loss of social cohesion…the pathology of the age and the greatest threat to the health of any democracy.” ("Human Development and Wealth Distribution", Dominique Strauss-Kahn, IMF)

Can you believe it? DSK is lecturing bankers about redistribution? That's not what they want to hear. What they want to hear is why ripping off poor people actually makes the world a better place.  DSK's speech just shows that he wasn't drinking the Koolaid anymore. He was becoming a nuisance and they needed to get rid of him.

Does that mean he didn't rape the woman who was in his hotel room?

Of course not. In fact, he could be guilty. But he deserves a fair trial, and someone's making damn sure he doesn't get one.

Thus, Dominique Strauss-Khan Former Chairman of the IMF would not be his first attempt of rape, as indicated by Bernard Debré, UMP - In fact, the latter says he knows perfectly the Sofitel Hotel in New York led by French In this hotel, work for many black women of Guinean origin!Many of them were raped by the former head of the IMF and the scandalous affairs have always been suppressed by the hotel management, just as happened in Sarcelles where several victims of sexual assault were reduced DSK silence! He stopped in New York to that place to give free rein to his condition, instead of taking his plane to Washington.
It is terrible for me my friends who knew that side's abject man for decades, to see some of you talk about presumption of innocence. It seems outrageous to support the man while his lawyer saw happen this poor black, said that she is ugly - because black? - It is horrible to realize that French politicians complained the aggressor and not the attacked, are scandalized because he was handcuffed while most demeaning images of Laurent Gbagbo brought smile on their lips!
It is traumatic to realize that some blacks have chains in your head and do not pose the question of the palatability of the powerful of this world vis-à-vis the black women, a morbid attraction relations have changed little since slavery: one married a white and black women are raped. For those who still have some doubts, let them go for a ride on the Anglo-Saxon media to realize the full guilt of DSK! As for believing in a set-up of Sarkozy, is to misunderstand the current French political situation. No matter the candidate, Sarkozy will not win the next election! Moreover, as Sarkozy, DSK was the candidate of major financial lobbying, media, those who have one goal: to reduce to nothing the Black and plunder of Africa!

So if:     "Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, has called for a new world currency that would challenge the dominance of the dollar and protect against future financial instability....."

Maybe there are some patriots in New York after all but their patriotism only goes so far as to let the racket continue in dollars.   The conversion to some other "NEW WORLD CURRENCY",  would allow the piigs of the world to drain the productive capacity of the producer nations.  Just like Germany is generally paying for the bailout of the entire EU.  So with a NWC the U.S., Canada, Germany, Australia and a few other would end up paying for the IMF socialism in all those countries that don't already have it.  Hiding behind this NWC is the elimination of the nation state.

I stilll think this douche set himself up.

Ilene, I'm dissapointed in you.

Poor little DSK? Don't tell me the Rape Birthers and DSK Truthers are coming out to defend him and say he's innocent like OJ? Not to worry, that's just the usual IMF Soros commie crowd fighting back against their cousins who want the USD to hang around a little longer.

Oh sure, -- the poor DSK liar, serial rapist, athiest, communist, hypocrite. Oh sure, none of that could possibly be true, it was all about the little people, all the time, with this weepy eyed atheist ghoul posing as humanitarian. It was just in his blood to be selfless and help others as he raped them. Money and power in exchange for his casual betrayal of his fellow humans had nothing to do with it.

Oh sure, DSK was just being set up. And the other five women coming out of the woodwork and the prior written warnings of sociopathic behavior were all previously conjured up in an elaborate plot like Obama's birth announcement in the local paper in 1960's.

OJ was framed, even though he probably did it.  There is no necessary connection between guilt and framing.

Yeah DSK is a people user, has a rep of abusing  hookers, and i have no sympathy for him.  He is accused of treating the maid much like one of the hookers.  Did someone tell him to expect a hooker dressed like a maid and then send the maid?    Was the maid in on it?  Or is the government telling the truth for once?

It is obvious DSK pissed off the Powerz somehow.  If he hadn't, guilty or not, this would have never made the news.

"boy i hope i'm never put to a criminal trial and you guys are selected for the jury.   i'd be screwed before my lawyer even opens her mouth."

The court of public opinion is different than a real court.

Evidence will be given and weighed. Its very difficult to convict anyone at a trial in the US, as it should be. Then you have an appeals process if convicted.

He is now well known in the population, so the jury will be scrutinized even more. So will the judge that sits on his trial for his/her decisions & instructions to the jury in the appeal process, if he's convicted.

This court (public opinion) is likely to be the only place justice will be truly served.

There is a price to be paid by the elite and famous. They should conduct themselves, in all things, in a manner that is beyond reproach as they present themselves to be our superiors in all things.

There is an old saying...be kind to those you pass climbing the ladder of success as you will pass the same ones coming back down.

Too much history on the man of engaging in the same activity with other women who are subordinate to him or socially "less equal" (whatever that winds up meaning)...the guy was a ticking time bomb.

Now the brinksmanship begins, without the game being seen by all, but by only the players at the table...that's really all I think it is...ones misfortune is anothers "opportunity".

"If he thinks he's above the law, then why did he have to flee the "scene of the crime" in such a hurry?"

Reality is a bitch to the delusional I would say.

His fleeing actually points to his guilt. He was trying to get back to France where all manner of diplomatic obstructions could be thrown up to his being brought back here to face his accuser.

"He probably thinks he above the law. Does that mean he attempted to rape her?"

Of course not.

But the DNA, her physical injuries, the other witnesses backing her deposition of how she appeared directly afterward (torn clothing etc.), his not waiting for the police knowing some "mad chambermaid" has accused him of something...sure points to it.

And most of all, a grand jury indicted his sorry ass, so evidence was presented to it and it concurred...this thing is not happening in a vacuum and he has no control of it...which I'm really enjoying in my own perverse way ;-)

The entire premise of this article is ridiculous. One of the sources of funding for the IMF is the FRN.

So if he was trying to take down the dollar, its really an attack on the IMF itself which he is the CEO of, not the dollar. He would be attacking himself, maybe he's also a masochist...LOL!!!

If there is any "conspiracy" to be had it comes from outside the US, not inside.

There is a trail of nations criss crossing the globe who have been deceived by the IMF into going deeper into debt...the organization is nothing more than a thinly disguised loan shark operation and everyone knows it.

SE Asia, Brazil and more countries than I care to type out have washed their hands of these parasites...but still, again, there is no reason to go through an elaborate "set up" like this...traffic accidents happen everyday.
