Re: The Booty Call
In Response To: Re: The Booty Call *LINK* ()

Thought 1 : The focus on Strauss-Kahn works like a scapegoat, just like Bernie Madoff and works doubly well as it fits the historical "court Jew" archetype. A few bad apples are outed to save the greater system. An individual delivered to the masses for a public flogging, give the illusion of "justice" and re-enforce the idea that the problem isn't systemic, it's a "few bad apples" but the larger institutional structures and banks get off, for the most part - scott-free. Strauss-Kahn's outing does not change anything in regards to who owns and control the IMF - the majority of whom are the aforementioned institutional structures and banks. The architects of this system likely would rather the discourse be framed around individuals and not the system. Likely their only recourse.

Thought 2: Given the French/US mutual complicity in the Libya debacle - perhaps the IMF angle doesn't quite fit the bill in regards to who outed the sodomite . . . Maybe this is a gift to Sarkozy. Sarkozy's finance minister seems a shoe-in to the IMF at this point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Lagarde

3rd thought: Let's wait and see what happens with the IMF and France - as well as decisions the IMF makes in terms to the ticking time bomb of European debt. Maybe we will see what Kahn's role may have been.

4ht thought: I appreciate you re-enforcing the point that in a den of thieves - no one is innocent. And that when the stakes are high - rats will out one of their own if it benefits them.
