IMF, MSM and Rape

[Salt Marsh]

There are a couple of questions that I have not seen being asked by the Main Stream Media about this Frenchman who is the head of the International Monetary Fund and is currently charged with multiple types of violent sex crimes in New York City. This is a man was about to run for the French presidency as a socialist and was expected to win.

1. What the heck is an avowed socialist doing as the head of the International Monetary Fund? It seems kind of strange to me (to the point of being hypocrisy) for one of the largest international organization which deals with the stabilization of monetary supplies and international exchange rates to be run a person whose philosophical outlook is ant-capitalistic.

2. What was he doing in a $3,000 a night hotel suite? If he is a socialist, how the heck does he justify such luxury for himself?

Also, it would be interesting to see who was footing the bill for the suite. If it was the IMF, could not their resources be better spent? Motel 6 will keep the light on, for a whole lot less. If he was paying for it himself, he must have great personal wealth. If that is the case, as a socialist, how did accumulate such wealth and why has he not donated all this "excess" wealth to others. If the motto is "From each according to their ability and to each according to their need", I guess he needed a $3,000 a night hotel room more than a third world child needed an anti-malaria mosquito net.

Why are these questions not being asked? My guess as to the first is that the MSM just does not see anything wrong with it. what is wrong with someone you agree with running the show? As to the second question, I believe the honchos in the MSM just do not see anything wrong with a that kind of money being spent on someone they deem to be their equal and who shares their political bent. They have no problem spending corporate money so they can stay in places of similar cost, so why would they bring attention to such extravagance when engaged in by their fellow travelers.

I know, for a fact, that he was paying for this instance out of his own pocket.

Wanna know how? Let me tell you...

Being the head of an international power such as the IMF gives you certain "rights" that others don't typically get when visiting the USofA. While on official business, he is an international employee... want to guess what this grants him?... That's right: Diplomatic Immunity.

If he were on official business (meaning if this tyraid were paid for by the IMF) he wouldn't be standing trial right now. It would be overlooked and he would be sent home.

I'm glad he was footing the bill on his own dime. Now we can deal with this sorry bastard our way.

If it were up to me, NO ONE would EVER get immunity on our soil. If you want to play on our playground, you're going to play by our rules... no exceptions.

When its all said and done, he'll walk scott free on some technacality or lab screw up. She'll have some ambulance chaser and he'll have the best law firm available. Sad that the woman had this happen to her and even sadder this Frog won't really have to pay for his crimes.

I am not sure about your statement that if he is on IMF business he has functional diplomatic immunity. Do you have any backup for that assertion? I am not saying your wrong, I just find that statement to run counter to my understanding of how things work.

So you believe that our diplomats should not have immunity while in other countries and should be subject to corrupt law enforcement and arbitrary laws while in service of their country on foreign soil? The abuse of diplomatic immunity is a problem, but in my opinion the benefits of having it far out weight the few injustices which result from its use.
