NWO:
Was arrest of top IMF bankster part of planned operation?
Washington - Many theorists depict the New World Order
NWO in monolithic terms. However, the elites are sometimes prone to power struggles between various factions that are constantly
competing for a larger slice of the pie. So, rather than being totally infallible and monolithic, these conflicting camps may not be above
'eating their own' when circumstances provide no other option.
On May 15, Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK) 
may have become the latest casualty in this game of financial hardball, possibly targeted by rivals that have trillions to lose.
DSK - mirroring the aims of billionaire George Soros
- sought to replace the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency with a
financial tool commonly known as special drawing rights (SDRs). To show his resolve, DSK pulled the trigger on Feb. 10 via an IMF report that specifically mentioned the introduction of this supranational one-world currency that challenged the dollar’s
dominance. Back in January, DSK appeared on BBC Radio to speak of his plans for a global central bank. He boasted, “Never in the past has an institution like the IMF been as necessary as it has been today. . . . Now is the time to do it, and I think we’re ready to do it.”
On April 9, Soros hoped for the emergence of a new monetary model at New Hampshire’s Bretton Woods II
conference. Essentially, DSK planned on burying not only the dollar, but also the
Euro, replacing them with a new basket of currencies that included China’s
renminbi. In 2009, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of China’s central bank, approved of IMF plans to replace the dollar with SDRs.
DSK also suggested what would be a mortal deathblow to America - pricing oil in SDRs rather than
dollars. Since virtually every nation in the world must stockpile U.S. currency to buy
oil, U.S. spending is effectively subsidized on a global scale. If this system was derailed, the U.S. could no longer keep spending beyond its means,
and most U.S. citizens’ standard of living would dramatically plummet. The EU also faced dangers in that DSK harbors a close friendship with Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou. In this capacity, DSK facilitated the disastrous bailouts that are undermining the EU’s
survival.
DSK's downfall, therefore, is immensely advantageous to those who benefit from a currency system dominated by the
dollar. One of these men is U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner
who went on the offensive by characterizing DSK as obviously not in a position to run the
IMF. Then, within hours, John Lipsky , former vice chairman and chief economist at JPMorgan Investment Bank, filled DSK’s seat as IMF director. Notably,
Lipsky - a Council on Foreign Relations member - is prodollar and pro-Euro while less supportive of SDRs.
