The analytical program "However," with Mikhail Leontyev, May 19, 2011

The devastating impact of the global crisis on the financial system takes on the most bizarre forms. Did the head of the International Monetary Fund, formally, the main regulator of this system, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, think about this, going on his sensational trip to New York?

Shortly before his sensational visit to New York, Dominic Strauss-Kahn, speaking at George Washington University, announced the collapse of the so-called "Washington consensus", that is, those principles of economic management that all countries that joined the global global system were obliged to obey. .

Noting that "the crisis has destroyed the intellectual foundation of the world economic order," the head of the IMF called for measures of "surgical intervention" in the financial sector. "We need mechanisms to end the vicious approach, when the organization is considered too large or too significant to become bankrupt," said the head of the IMF

Imagine what interests of what scale the head of the IMF swung ?! Given that, in fact, the IMF was created, as the main tool for imposing "Washington consensus." That is, the American economic dictate. And when the Fund raped dozens of countries with the help of this consensus, it did not bother anyone. When Strauss-Kahn proclaimed the end of the old world order, did he know that he himself would soon become the embodiment of this end? Looks like he knew.

Until now, and they have become accustomed to this, Hollywood scenarios have been implemented in American politics. Does the crisis of imagination make you turn to Mosfilm ?!

Just imagine from what threat the American police saved the German Chancellor, with whom Strauss-Kahn was supposed to meet the next day! .. There is one stroke in favor of the fact that it is still a provocation prepared in advance. Otherwise, such as Strauss-Kahn, should have been, at a minimum, released on bail. That is, it seems, and Strauss-Kahn did not have enough imagination. The politician, for whom the women's topic was already a weak point, expected this and even warned the French press about it. But he expected this from the French President Sarkozy, whose rival in the future elections he was. Moreover, before the recent events more than a promising opponent.

At a meeting with Liberation journalists, Strauss-Kahn said that he feared provocations from his political opponents, pointing directly to President Sarkozy and his right hand, Interior Minister Gean, as potential customers.

“Any woman who claims to have been raped in a parking lot can be used. For her, she will be paid half a million or a million euros,” warned Strauss-Kahn.

Well, the queue of these women is already lined up. However, I think, Strauss-Kahn did not appreciate the level of international cooperation in this matter. More specifically, the level of mutual understanding and mutual assistance between Sarkozy and his American friends. And he had to bury the “Washington consensus” ?! And, worse, to threaten global financial monsters ?! Thereby, which are "too big to collapse." Who wants to collapse, especially if you're so big?
