I wonder if this made googled who DSK was, and saw dollar signs and thought to herself: “perfect target.”

OR

She was approached by a veiled party which promised her a fortune if she were to offer herself and then call foul.

Yet, it is true about the double standard between white men and black women and black men with white women.. this is sad, but true.. another condition of the reality of Amerika’s dark past and the conditioning of mass media.

“Let a jury decide based upon the evidence ...”

The problem is the case is so weak that it would collapse during the trial and that would leave the legal eagles red faced all round so they’ve cut their losses. The maid, with her background, would be a defense attorney’s delight. I still maintain that the story she tells is ridiculous on its face and she has changed things she didn’t need to change in the story, a sure sign of a manufactured narrative. People who are lying to the police lie about small details that don’t matter in their rush to protect the big lies. There are only two scenarios:

1. Strauss-Kahn grabbed this maid while she was in the hall, dragged her into a room and raped her.

Question: why the hell would he?

2. The maid was paid to ensnare Strauss-Kahn sexually and then yell ‘rape!’ It’s all so very Assange.

The clincher for me is the description of Strauss Kahn as the next prospective ‘socialist’ President of France. With that albatross around his neck it’s hard to see how he ever became head of the IMF. Clearly he had to be removed and his run for the presidency against Sarkozy also had to be stopped by any means. Mission accomplished.

This ‘allegation’ was a perfect smokescreen to keep DSK from contending for the presidency and being a tool ( for whom, anyone but the people ) in the IMF.

The timing was too perfect for this to happen, but the damage has been done.  His reputation has been ruined… perhaps for the better, so the European hegemony can implode.

VANCE WAS DOING HIS JOB

Lurking in the background of this case, overlooked by many, is a key factor at its very origin. DSK was a Frenchman on his way to Paris.

We should not forget that Roman Polanski, French though of Polish origin, is a fugitive from American justice. France has refused to extradite Polanski. Does anyone think a French president would extradite DSK - particularly if he was a candidate for the presidency of France in upcoming elections?

Vance was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t stop DSK cold and ask for the highly restrictive means to keep him in NYC.

So, Vance did what he had to do. He hid the plaintiff and investigated her. What comes up is certainly damaging evidence regarding the plaintiff’s credibility ... but is it more damaging than the defendant’s forensic evidence found on the plaintiffs person? That is for a jury to decide, not Mr. Vance.

And if Cyrus Vance was a DA in France, he would not be facing election and this case would go to court anyway. The “Procurer”, France’s equivalent to a DA, is a public civil servant and nominated - not elected - to the position.

Vance was doing his job - now he should continue to do it and bring this case to trial. Let a jury decide based upon the evidence ...

“Boys will be boys ..” and the words ‘honey trap’ mean absolutely nothing to you? And how hard do you think it is to bribe a housemaid who earns practically nothing? First you deny that Sarkozy has form on this kind of thing and then you raise the case of Villepan followed by the claim that some ‘forged’ document implicating Sarkozy in financial hanky panky is something Villepan had a hand in ‘IF INDIRECTLY’- what exactly does that mean? It’s always been as clear as day to me that Villepan was set up and so was Strauss-Kahn.  No man in his right mind (and we’re talking about the head of the IMF here) tackles a housemaid in a hotel hallway and drags her into a room and rapes her. He would have to be on drugs or having a psychotic episode and neither of those things has been suggested. The story was clunky from the start: I never believed it and I don’t believe the story about Villepan either. Sarkozy is a shit and I expect at the next election he will be firmly flushed by the French electorate. Even in the completely corrupt and cynical world of French politics he stands out from the crowd.

Perhaps since Strauss-Kahn has been successfully removed from the IMF there is no reason to go further with the “case” so it is being dropped on whatever pretense? For a more interesting take on this “rape” see:

And in case the argument about the victim’s credibility doesn’t work, Dominique’s defense team is holding in reserve the fact that Strauss-Kahn is dickless.

Okay.  We will never know all the details, but it is unlikely that DSK paid off the
prosecutors to drop charges.  The prosecutors are admitting they don’t have a
case because the victim 1. lied to them about a range of things; 2. associates
with a convicted drug dealer/money launderer whose conversations with her
have been taped; 3. admitted she lied about being raped before in her life; 4.
can’t prove that sex was rape (even though it may have been).  The prosecutors
simply can’t put on a case with those variables—the victim is not dropping the
charges, the prosecutors are. 

HOWEVER, all kinds of people in this world are raped.  Even criminals are raped. 
Even illegal immigrants are raped.  But according to our justice system, a rape
victim must be pure of heart and mind, ideally a virgin, to accuse a man of
rape. Especially a man of privilege and stature higher than hers.

This is why so many men get away with rape.  It brings to mind the excellent
Jodie Foster film “The Accused,” in which she played a fun-loving gal who
dressed provocatively one night to go out to drinking and was gang-raped in a
bar.  Her lawyer initially settled her out—she lived in a trailer and smoked
weed; the accused were college students from fine families.  Foster’s character
was irate—because they’re seen as better than me, they get to rape me?  (It’s an
instant watch on Netflix).

That such a “maid” commingled in such a fashion with such a man is no coincidence. The incident accomplished what it was meant to. The “maid” has been paid off and Mr. Strauss-Kahn will now be released.
My suspicions proved to be correct.

Ask those in Guantanamo.

Money rules the judicial system as it does everywhere else. Does the name O.J. Simpson ring any bells?

WHO’S MUD-SLINGING?

diamond: I seem to recall that Sarkozy launched another mudslinging campaign against another rival and that case eventually fell apart too but so did the rival’s political campaign.

You “seem to recall” and “another mudslinging campaign”? Stop casting aspersions where you have no substantiated evidence. And if you have any referential evidence, then post it.

What are you trying to say? Sarkozy set Strauss-Kahn up? He hired the Guinean woman to lie to the police?

This is the sort of looniness that gives blogs a bad name. Anybody can say just about anything and it passes the litmus test of veracity over the ether.

Who’s slinging mud? You are.

NOT BENE:

Sarkozy’s bitterest enemy is an ex-PM (also of the French Right) called DeVillepin, who has been undergoing civil charges of a suspicious nature. One of which was the finding of Sarkozy’s name on the list of a Luxembourg bank clearing house that settles international money transfers. Such transfers imply a foreign account for purposes of hiding revenues and is, of course, illegal in France.

The list was forged and the contention is that DeVillepin had a hand in the matter, if indirectly.

The charges are presently being decided before a law court if DeVillepin did indeed have a direct contact with the perpetrators. And if not, why would they get up to such a shenanigan? Which is otherwise useless politically except to tarnish Sarkozy’s reputation.

Boys will be boys ...

POST SCRIPTUM

Yes, mud sticks. DSK had his reputation for hassling attractive young women since a long, long time before he set foot in the USA.

For peculiar French cultural reasons, the private lives of politicians were beyond mention in the press and therefore above reproach.

If anything, the DSK-case in NYC has had the effect here to give that silly notion its well-deserved demise. They are now open game. (As a certain member of the French Parliament has found to his great expense yesterday when his parliamentary immunity was lifted. He may now be prosecuted on sex-hassling charges.)

Oh what crap ohmygodnotagain. Strauss Kahn was about to run against Sarkozy for the Presidency of France. Of course this scandal has put paid to his political ambitions. He doesn’t actually need to go to jail. Mud sticks. I seem to recall that Sarkozy launched another mudslinging campaign against another rival and that case eventually fell apart too but so did the rival’s political campaign. Men hatched this plot, not feminists. I said from the start the story sounded unbelievable and now the police say it’s unbelievable too. I wouldn’t like to be in a dark alley with Sarkozy: you’d be lucky to get out with all your fingers and toes.

Tawana Brawley, the Duke LaCrosse Case, now the Strasse Kahn case, each involves racist sexist attitudes towards white men.
This is also the product of the hysterical, knee jerk, man-hating feminist politics, where all men are potential rapists especially if they are seen as well off.  The system instead of assuming innocent until proven guilty accepts the hateful feminist lies.

Innocent until proven guilty seems to be lost lately.
