Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested in New York on charges of sexually assaulting a hotel maid. Which is a good thing for the rich and powerful. Dominique Strauss-Kahn was the head of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and also a leader of the French Socialist Party. He was considered a strong candidate to run against Nicholas Sarkozy for the Presidency of the French Republic.
But he got caught in a sex scandal so the rich and powerful were saved.
Elliot Spitzer had been a crusading Attorney-General for the State of New York who investigated and prosecuted a number of Wall Street criminals whom both the US Attorney for New York and the Securities and Exchange Commission somehow forgot to investigate and prosecute. He was so popular that he was handily elected Governor of New York. He was discussed as a possible presidential candidate.
But he got caught in a sex scandal so the rich and powerful were saved.
Julian Assange published the Wikileaks documents. He didn't say anything. He didn't claim anything. He didn't prove anything. He just published what people in positions of power had themselves said. He clearly was going to publish more.
But he got caught got in a sex scandal so the rich and powerful were saved.
John Edwards was a smart successful trial attorney, a poor boy who made tons of money in his practice and was elected US Senator from North Carolina. He was a supporter of labor unions and working people's interests. He was a strong candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.
But he got caught in a sex scandal so the rich and powerful were saved.
The rich and powerful sure are lucky that everyone who opposes them just happens to get caught in sex scandals.
Maybe these guys were just messing around for their health....Scientific researchers say that promiscuous species of monkeys appear to have stronger immune systems that less sexually active ones....any comment?
ReplyDeleteOr....another possible scenario that does not take his wife into consideration. The rich and powerful frequently have a sense of entitlement and invincibility. They get what they want...whether it's offered or not. It is assumed that it is alright to take the desired "object" whatever or whoever it might be. In Strauss-Kahn's case, he is accused of "sexual assault" (rape, put politely) which has very little to do with sex, desire and seduction and a lot to do with rude forceful possession.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'm presupposing he's guilty...he may not be....
ReplyDeleteThe greatest likelihood is that they're all guilty. The plot lies in making sure they get caught.
