International Monetary Fund Chief: Serial rapist?

[sburns2421]

Domonique Strauss-Kahn, currently head of the IMF and man tipped to be the next President of France, is currently sitting in a jail cell in NYC after being denied bail. Reportedly he raped a hotel maid. Now his wife's goddaughter is claiming he raped her too 9 years ago.

This, IMO is truly a big deal unless resolved very quickly (it will not be). There currently exists a power vacuum at the IMF, at exactly the same time as Greece, and Portugal, and Spain, and Irish debt is reaching a point of critical mass that requires strong leadership.

Any comments from our Euro members would be appreciated.

In a bit of bitter irony for the IMF chief, immigrant West African maid he reportedly raped probably is HIV positive. Medical privacy laws means that no one knows for sure that can legally confirm, but she lives in an apartment exclusively for HIV people.

There is something else behind it.

THE DSK GOLD SCAM
On the eve of DSK's easily-organized "honeypot sting" in a New York hotel, instantly removing him from the levers of power inside the IMF, he was due to meet with Germany's Angela Merkel and Eurozone-17 financial and monetary leaders, ostensibly to discuss IMF-backing for European national financial bailouts in Greece, Portugal and Ireland, and other countries, totalling hundreds of billions of euro. Germany is the undisputed money-master in Europe, with a huge trade surplus and an unswerving mercantilist strategy of turning its trade surpluses into gold: Germany holds more than one-third of all official gold in Europe, and its national reserve of about 3402 tons places it second-only to the USA, and well before third-ranking IMF by tonnage held.
…….
The DSK-led financial firefighters therefore had no choice but focus the real and hard assets of its aided victim countries - central bank gold. In this context a high gold price is vital, despite this being heresy for the IMF whose official mission is to matain or restore confidence in fiat paper moneys by pushing down gold bullion prices whenever and wherever it can. Emerging and leaked comment on DSK's "last days at the IMF" from French financial officials indicate massive plans to sell gold to Germany. The process, under full crisis conditions, would include channelling stolen and looted gold from the central banks of collapsing Arab dictatorships, and massive gold swap deals with the central banks and money authorities of near-bankrupt and nearing-bankrupt but gold-rich European countries, especially Portugal, Greece, Spain, Belgium and Romania.

.......

We can provisionally conclude the scam failed and DSK had to rapidly disappear. Certainly this year, probably by late summer, the failure of the DSK operation will be clearly shown. Signs could include a radically toughening of the German stance on financial aid to Eurozone states, serious weakening of the euro, and revelations of missing gold in several Arab states, followed by an explosion of gold prices.
