Behind the Strauss Kahn Soap Opera: A War Is Raging Over the Collapse of the EMU

A senior U.S. intelligence source has told EIR that the real story behind the Dominique Strauss Kahn rape allegations is a total brawl inside the entire European oligarchy over how to deal with the imminent blowout of the EMU and the euro.

"Behind the scenes, Strauss Kahn was the most powerful man in Europe," the source explained. As head of the IMF at a time when the bailout of the PIGS countries is the top priority, Strauss Kahn was actually enroute to Paris to finalize crucial details of the new bailout of Greece, Portugal, and Ireland, when he was arrested by New York City Police, on charges of sexual assault of a hotel worker. The source explained that "There are at least 100 top European bankers and leading powerbrokers who had every reason to sink Strauss Kahn. This had little or nothing to do with the upcoming French Presidential elections," the source noted. "This is about the survival of the entire European banking system."
