The Woman Dominique Strauss-Kahn Is Accused Of Raping Is Named In The European Press

The London Telegraph is reporting, the 32-year-old African maid that IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, is accused of raping and sodomizing, has been named in the French press. Strauss-Kahn has denied raping her, stating the sex was consensual. The New York District Attorney disagrees and as such, the IMF chief is being held without bail, in New York's infamous Riker's Island Prison. The evidence against Strauss-Kahn does not look good. If DNA is successfully employed, coupled with his well-publicized past history, provided it is not disallowed by the judge, the case will result in a conviction.

Initially, it was reported the 32-year-old woman was from Ghana. Recent reports have since indicated, she is an immigrant from Guinea, who is the mother of a 14-year-old girl. It was only a matter of time before her identity was exposed. This has become one of the biggest stories in the world and bribes will be issued by news media in several nations for information on the alleged victim.

News coming out of France reveals outrage that Strauss-Kahn was perp walked and according to some, denied the presumption of innocence. It is being said, in France, the custom is for criminals to be perp walked after conviction in court. As a result, some believe Strauss-Kahn is being treated differently, as he is French.

People should bear in mind, Strauss-Kahn is one man and does not represent all of France and every Jewish person on the planet (the latter is being brought up as well). He is one individual and only represents himself.

Therefore, it is wrong for anyone to use this case, which hasn't even been tried, to slur nations and ethnic backgrounds. France is a wonderful country and there are many law abiding Jewish people all over the world that have not hurt a soul.

However, there is a bias in this - much of the handling of the Strauss-Kahn arrest, leads right back to the hurdles the U.S. government faced in the Roman Polanski case, where the director was accused of rape, fled, then dodged extradition, refusing to return to America. The U.S. government refused to allow Strauss-Kahn to return to France and denied him bail, due to how the Polanksi case unfolded. Different countries have different laws and each will act according to what they deem fit.

Movie Review: The Ghost Writer

Title: The Ghost Writer

Year Of Release: 2010

Review Date: March 31, 2011

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 128 minutes

Box Office Gross: $60,012,087

Site Rating: 3 out of 10 stars

The "Ghost Writer" stars Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan, in a movie that is a complete dig at former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair. This thinly veiled fact is poorly hidden. Brosnan stars as the Blair-esque British Prime Minister, Adam Lang, who helped to facilitate illegal, White House ordered renditions of world citizens. The Prime Minister is brought up on criminal charges for this misconduct by an international tribunal.

Spolier alert: Lang's wife, a university educated professional, also bears resemblance to Cherie Blair, the spouse of Tony Blair. In the film, she is accused of being a treacherous, murderous CIA spy that was recruited during her university days to control Lang. The film even has a Condoleezza Rice look alike as the U.S. Secretary of State. They really were not trying to hide what they were insinuating with this film.

McGregor's character, the Ghost Writer, is hired to assist Lang in completing his memoirs. However, the scandal breaks, regarding criminal charges, just as they begin the book, endangering his very life.

The Ghost Writer is directed by pedophile filmmaker, Roman Polanski. I would not have watched this film had I realized it, but I found out afterwards, after missing the opening credits.
