Strauss-Kahn

"What a dreadful Spirit that Man possesses, who can put a private Appetite in balance against the universal Good of his Country, and of Mankind." Cato

Rich and powerful men seem to be under a different code of ethics than the rest of mankind.  I was amazed in May when Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested.  I knew he was the managing Director of the International Monetary Fund.  I wasn't surprised that he had acted misappropriately.  No!  I was surprised that he could be arrested.  So I was not surprised today upon hearing that he was released from his house arrest and all the suspicion has turned on the victim.  But doesn't this surprise anyone?  And if not, why not?  How is it possible?  Is it his money?  Or his connections?  His power? 

Dominique Strauss-Kahn is a member of the French Socialist Party.  In the 1970's he was a member of the Union of Communist Students.  It was exactly one year from the time he was "elected/placed" as the Managing Director that the world financial collapse occurred.  What is his philosophy on the US & our monetary system....Under Strauss-Kahn the IMF's pursuit of financial stability has included calls for a possible replacement of the dollar as the world's reserve currency. For some commentators that amounts to a call for a "new world currency that would challenge the dominance of the dollar.  How did a man like this have such a powerful position in deciding how money would be distributed through-out the world?  And where will he be heading after the charges are completely dropped?  And you can be sure they will be.
