What's behind the scandal of Dominique Strauss-Kahn?

In the first pages of every newspaper is written on the global scandal of Dominique Strauss Kahn, Managing Director International Monetary Fund. The scandal already has his name DSK (abbreviation of the name Dominique Strauss Kahn). According to media Strauss was arrested at JFK Airport, New York on Air France and charged with sexual assault of a worker at the Sofitel (Manhattan, New York). But Strauss-Kahn who and what is behind this scandal?

Dominique Strauss-Kahn was born on 25.4.1949 in a wealthy neighborhood of Paris - Neuilly-sur-Seine in a family of Jewish origin. His father Gilbert Strauss-Kahn was a tax advisor and member of the Grand Orient of France, a Masonic organization-http: / / es.wikipedia.org / wiki / Gran_Oriente_de_Francia. His mother, Jacqueline worked as a journalist Fellus Russian-Tunisian origin. The family moved to Agadir, Morocco in 1951 where Dominique began their schooling. In 1960 there were an earthquake in Agadir and the family returned to Paris. In Paris Dominique continued his studies and in 1977 becomes the professor of economics at the University of Nancy. But more interesting is his political career. As a student, was a member of the Union of Communist Students, and then in the seventies joined the Centre d'etudes de recherches et d'education socialiste (Centre for Education Studies and Social Research) led by Jean Pierre Chevènement, the future candidate for president. In addition, the center became friends with Lionel Jospin, the presidential candidate of the French government. These friendships they opened the road to high politics - Strauss-Kahn becomes Minister of Foreign Trade in 1991-1993 and later finance minister in 1997-1999. In 2007 he became director of the International Monetary Fund.

And part of the candidacy for president of France in the 2012 elections.

The world is full of paradoxes, it's amazing how everything is so obvious and so few people admit that it is. Strauss-Kahn is a textbook example: Born into a Jewish family, Masonic, working in a financial institution, and belonging to the party of the left - socialist at the same time (being socialist) have expensive cars, sleep in the most expensive hotels the world, visiting conferences that cost incredible sums (these parties are usually also included companions) and earn lots of money and who pays? We, the taxpayers. The financial world is full of such profiles, it is amazing how these people have in common:).

But back to the subject for a closer look at the scandal of DSK. Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexualemte attacked a worker at the Sofitel. Is this a conspiracy? Do not want the worker to get publicity like Monica Lewinsky? Strauss-Kahn Or really made an assault? I got to thinking what could be behind this scandal and came to the following hypotheses:

1. CONSPIRACY - Did anyone paid to the worker to carry Strauss-Kahn to the situation of sexual abuse? Here we have to think who could exploit the discredited IMF managing director. Who might have a motive? Strauss-Kahn, despite being the director of the IMF, was nominated for the French presidency. According to the French press was the only rival Kahn relevant to current President Nicolas Sarkozy. Nicolas Sarkozy Kahn knew and knew about his troubled relationships with women. Strauss-Kahn really represented a threat to re-election of Sarkozy. Kahn many considered as a new president of France. As one of the theories may be a plot organized by Sarkozy's supporters to discredit Kahn. Another interesting thing is that Kahn was arrested before the important meeting with ANGELES Merkel and before speaking on the settlement of the debts of Greece and Portugal. Kahn was known that he did not like the idea of ​​granting further aid to Greece. But Kahn was a European political and hoped the IMF would help to "pay the Greek debt." In many web pages could be read that the situation in Europe is serious about not having to Kahn in front of the International Monetary Fund that his new boss will not grant aid to Greece and the European Union will be abandoned by the IMF and will have to Giving aid to Greece without the IMF and thus pay the entire cost.

Did anyone interested in complicating the situation in Greece or Portugal? Politicians do not want the bankruptcy of Greece, the banks are afraid of this bankruptcy and all scenarios are reporting that bankruptcy would be catastrophic for the entire Eurozone. Or Kahn refused to grant another aid to Greece and for this reason the politicians decided to disagree? Well do not think the scandal is linked to European debt, Strauss-Kahn aid granted last year and I think the grant again. More interesting could be a conspiracy to discredit the presidential election Kahn.

2. PUBLICATION OF WORKER. - Do not want the worker to become popular as it did years ago Monica Lewinsky? Hardly. In any newspaper did the name of the victim, nor was there much information about it. When someone wants to become famous, you have to communicate with the media and do more advertising. This does not seem to be the case.

3. SEXUAL ASSAULT. - Personally I think the third option is true. If Strauss-Kahn had not ever had problems with sexual abuse, would be very suspicious if the presidential election before committing such an error. But Strauss-Kahn has struggled with sexual assault throughout their life. A year ago, France was published a book: "The secret of a candidate for president." This book is about Dominique Strauss-Kahn and describes it as a sexual predator. The book was written by an author with the pseudonym Cassandre and say it belonged to the group of advisers Strauss-Kahn. In the book even says that his weakness towards women shatter the presidential race before it can begin. He also claims that Kahn had a series of relationships outside marriage and there are photographs as Kahn comes out of the clubs where couples Discussions take place to make love. Sarkozy's advisor, Frederic Lefebre said he saw the pictures and Strauss-Kahn would not last even a week to be published. The book mentions that Kahn is always chasing new women. When you enter a coffee shop, office or any public place is a constant ritual of watching women who are nearby.

Until Sarkozy said: "In the U.S. ends the feast" (Strauss Kahn came to America to assume the role of director of the IMF). "When it identifies its prey, bombarded with SMS in directly expressing his intention."

More information appears to be in other places, because we know that Strauss-Kahn had problems with their sexual weaknesses. In 2007 he was accused by Tristano Baron, a French journalist for trying to rape her in 2002. In 2008, having had problems with his subordinate Piroska Nagy. There is therefore a lot of information indicating that Strauss-Kahn was no saint in their relationship to women. So I think it was really a "sexual assault". Know that in the U.S. there is plenty of psychosis regarding sexual abuse, while in our culture lends importance is minor. Anyway we can always have doubts about whether this scandal was not helped by some of the supporters of Nicolas Sarkozy.

To say that the final end of the career of Dominique Strauss-Kahn did not generate any harm us. Strauss-Kahn was nothing outstanding in her role at the helm of the IMF. He made many wrong decisions like most politicians and the cost of these errors always pay us, the taxpayers. We can mention its decision in the spring of 2008, when he decided to sell 400 tons of gold and buy more stocks and bonds. As the fund bought the shares just before the collapse of September 2008 and sold the gold would now have much more value. Also we should not fear a lack of aid to Greece. Fund managers were always chosen from Europe. There is an unprecedented rule, and the U.S. is the director of the World Bank and Europe is the director of the International Monetary Fund. The third world would change these rules because the growth of Asian countries these rules are already very outdated. So we can assume that the new director (in case you run out of function Strauss-Kahn) is a European grant further aid to Greece. If not, nothing will happen, the European Union alone grant the aid.

Although we all know it would be best to leave the country like Greece that end in bankruptcy now, instead of suffering another few years, to finally occur bankruptcy is inevitable.
