As Reaching, I am having a hard time with the fact that a 62 year-old man with his career, brains and wit could do something that stupid, not
mentioning the horror of the act. How could he believe for one second he would get away with that ? And on US soil on top of it ! I know many here can
believe it and that they think it is usual business for the powerfuls. Me, I don't believe assaulting the random maid and moving away is a PTB or a
PTB's puppet option. There are so many ways to have sex, you can arrange for a rape simulacre if it's a fantasy of yours, everything is possible in
that business.
This is absolutely reckless and doesn't make sense. I know Strauss-Kahn has a reputation of a womanizer but this is very different. My logic being
backwards, I actually think that him being known for affairs with younger women is a point in favor of a frame. He is bright, witty, alert, in good
physical shape, he is not frustrated, he doesn't need that and a man in his position knows how to handle emotions. He is a politician, he looks at
you straight in the eye and lies. That's his job and he's good at it.
A few more thoughts.
Regarding the other scandal in 2008, there were strange details. The woman was a hungarian named Nagy. Sarkozy's full name is Nicolas Sarközy de
Nagy-Bocsa and his father is hungarian. Sarkozy (right) and Strauss-Kahn (left) are supposed to be rivals, I am not implying that Sarkozy had
something to do with it because he wouldn't want to leave evidence like that, right ? But I thought at the time that some kind of message was sent to
someone and me, being the cattle I am, I can't figure out the message.
The IMF director is always a European and in practice appointed by the US. in 2007, the newly-elected president Sarkozy suggested and backed
Strauss-Kahn for the position, a very important and prestigious position whose allocation is certainly subject to intense lobbying. Why did he ?
French political analysers with their expertise of political matter consensually commented that Sarkozy wanted to drive him away from France because
he feared him for 2012 elections... Wow ! Evil masterplan ! I have never understood how holding a prestigious position with international exposure and
recognition could stop Strauss-Kahn from running for president, I actually thought that would help him. Ah ah ! I even thought it was a reward for
something. I guess that's why I am not a political expert. Anyway, the plan has failed and Strauss-Kahn has stressed his ambition to run for
presidency.
Now on the thing that he's Sarkozy's main contender, it's media spin and pools hysteria at this point. Primaries haven't started, campaigning
hasn't started, he was beaten by large in 2006, Segolène Royal collected 60% of the votes, Strauss-Kahn 20%. I don't know why he is pushed in front
like that. He has always been a media darling, his wife was a very famous political show anchor, he has connections that others may not have.
It's huge news in France at the moment. It's an earthquake and it's only a sunday.
