Alfred Herrhausen 1930-1989
The current incident with Strauss-Kahn is well analyzed by Mike Whitney as a "honey-trap" and reminds me mightily of what happened to Alfred Herrhausen, the president of the Deutsche Bank who was killed by still unidentified "terrorists" in 1989. Herrhausen was also a good bad guy who was going the wrong way for his fellow bankers (e.g., Third World debt relief). I was one of the few people to write about it (see here, also in my book Looking for the Enemy), but the questions I raised remain unanswered and relevant today, especially in view of what could well be a similar attempt to dispose of Strauss-Kahn.
I don't believe a word of the Strauss-Kahn story that has been foisted on us. It's so fishy I am tempted to chalk it up to another transparent conspiracy (like the fake murder of Bin Laden). Besides getting rid of Strauss-Kahn, it serves as a warning to everyone who sees through it that the powers-that-be will stop at nothing to get their way, and that all resistance is futile. Julian Assange is another case that comes to mind.
