The secret is not so well kept, there are women who are attracted to men in power. The drive is probably biological, so we need not be too hard on these pathetic weaklings who feed the egos of hedonists by compromising their bodies and their self-respect. At least, there is a measure of consent at some point. In the end, a woman feels empowered and a man feels the hubris of Caesar as he spread his seed over ancient Europe. Eventually, there is the realization that they have betrayed the trust of those who believed in them, but more importantly, they have betrayed themselves to trade integrity and dignity for a few moments of lust.
If you know a man who has served in Washington, well enough for him to trust you, he will tell you about the young women who are political groupies and throw themselves at men of power, who would otherwise be all alone in a two dollar brothel with a twenty dollar bill in their hand. Their indiscretions cause pain and misery that is self-inflicted among both groupies and politicians without bias and we do well to pity them rather than scorn them.
Unfortunately, as sexual fantasies and egos among men of power are allowed to grow and be enriched with the fawning of young females, the male psyche, particularly that of the Socialist Elite, becomes malignant with feelings of power and entitlement.
A few months ago, we endured the self-assured image of Al Gore assaulting a massage therapist for sexual gratification. The story of the international humanitarian, who is overly concerned with the welfare of people and of the earth, but is unconcerned with the health of one woman when he feels the need to have his ashes hauled is not considered newsworthy by the Socialist Media. Still the picture of the entitled leader who has dominance over women is one that Socialists have a hard time explaining; after all, the woman toiled among those for whom the Elites dedicate their lives and they should be willing to recognize the needs of Elites and be willing to sacrifice for the good of the cause.
The stories of Hillary’s husband are too numerous to mention, but his sense of entitlement includes the feminine charms on display around him and they are obviously there to be enjoyed. He is an Elite who is more than willing to share his noble seed with women, whether they are willing or not, such is his sense of dedication and generosity to those less fortunate who are or will be beneath him.
Now, we are once again exposed to the selfless generosity of the Socialist head of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who was thoughtful enough to give the maid, at a $3,000 night hotel, the chance to partake in his glory and to know the seed of modern day royalty. Unfortunately, the maid was unaware of the Socialist Entitlement benefits that extended to her and she considered his bequeathing nothing more than rape, sodomy, and sexual assault. Now, he is in jail, without bond, over a simple misunderstanding. He was totally unaware of wrong doing, since he was on the runway in first class section of a jet headed to France, when he was arrested. Apparently, similar indiscretions in the past, where women were confused as to his generosity, have been excused by the IMF.
Strauss-Kahn is scheduled to run for President of France under the Socialist banner and the French Press is already excusing his behavior and making the assertion that his abilities far outweigh the hysterical pleadings of a common maid. From Claude Askolovitch, editor of Le Journal du Dimanche:
The affair may well be ridiculous compared with the destiny of the world, but it touches the heart of the culture of the American government and the IMF, It is less about sexual puritanism . . . than a deep horror of lies and conflict of interest.
Now there are even more extenuating circumstances that contribute to the hypocrisy. The IMF has been lecturing Greece and other states dedicated to profligacy, about the need to cut back and live according to their means. Some Europeans might find it a little odd that members of the IMF stay in $3,000 night hotels and fly first class on trans Atlantic flights are lecturing the lower classes on how to live within their means; the egalitarian mask of central planning is becoming transparent and the ugliness beneath is rooted in corruption and entitlement. Self-indulgent Greeks who were considering austerity, will now be considering default as a logical option; especially, when they consider the hypocritical behavior of those who lecture restraint.
From a high ranking French government official:
Strauss-Kahn is viewed as accomplished, smart and very capable. Because of that, the prevailing view seems to be, ‘Let’s hope this turns out to be nothing, because the IMF and the world really needs this guy to come through.
This sickness among leaders of the left is shared by the media and those who want to ignore the corruption; much like the family, who hides and protects the pedophile who preys on his own relatives. At this point, it becomes an all encompassing sickness of the Left.
A professional horseman for over 50 years, Skook continues to work with horses. Skook has finished an historical novel, Fifty Thousand Years, that traces a mitochondrial line of DNA from 50,000 years ago to the present. The story follows a line of courageous women, from the Ice Ages to the present, as they meet the challenges of survival with grit and creativity. These are not women who whimper of being victims, they meet the challenges of survival as women who use their abilities without excuses or remorse, these women are winners, they are our ancestors.
Fifty Thousand Years is available in paperback and e-book, it is getting great reviews. You can purchase a copy here; Visit me on Facebook.

Power corrupts, and that corruption effects both the ego of the person, and corrodes their integrity. This sort of thing has wormed it’s ways from primitive tribal leaders, to the advanced leaders of today. Predatory sexuality knows no party, sex, political affiliation nor any particular level of leader. Some willingly feed the lusting hunger of those above them, while others are selected by the so-called “alpha” personality as conquests. In all cases the leader deludes even their own selves into believing that this is their right, and these narcissists fully expect their victims to submit.
Skookum, you are a man of many talents. You not only spin fascinating stories about horses and wild animals, but about human animals, too. You are absolutely right about the “hubris and sense of entitlement” in men of power. I think in the case of socialists, their urge for domination extends not only to their immediate female prey, but to all of mankind.
It is rumored that both Strauss-Kahn and Obama buy their $10,000 suits at the same “by appointment only” boutique in Beverly Hills billed as “the costliest men’s wear in the world” – Bijan on Rodeo Drive. Coincidence? I think not. Strauss-Kahn tried to rape a woman, and Obama is trying to rape America. They’re birds of a feather in my book.
Well said Skook. Over the years in military essays and during course work, I have addressed issues like this. I have labored over the motivations. One of the most difficult for me to understand was the Mỹ Lai massacre in 1968. While this is not an exact parallel to your writing Skook, I think there are many that are the same. I believe that people in power such as Lt Calley lose their reference to reality.
I work with instruments that I use to measure the concentrations of gases and airborne particulates in the atmosphere of a work place. These instruments must be calibrated at least annually with a national standard. On a daily basis, the instruments are calibrated with a local source. If there was never a requirement to revert to the national standard annually, each day my instruments could move just a fraction of an increment away from the accepted standard until my results could be very extreme. I think this happens with people. They fail to “recalibrate” on a regular basis with acceptable standards.
I actually met LT Calley while I was stationed in FT Benning. He married a local lady and worked in the family jewelry store. He was just an ordinary man. I think what happened was the continuous operations in Vietnam didn’t allow soldiers to recalibrate their behavior with acceptable standards on a regular basis. Instead of the acceptable source, they used the last operation on which to base their behavior.
I am required by ethical standards to calibrate my instruments with national standards or my work is meaningless and I do not get paid. We as a society allow the elites to continue to exhibit their behavior by allowing them special status. Our government officials are allowed special services like the Pelosi beverage bill on her flights to Denmark . We need to make them understand they must periodically “recalibrate” their behavior to standards acceptable to we the people.
Ahnold the “Inseminator” ! Hey, At least he did us a huge favor and relieved Californians of the pompous self centered Uber Lib Grey Davis!
There is a creepy connection between the desire for political power and the desire to exercise one’s sexual need on an unwilling “partner.” Somehow the power over others becomes personal power.
This is observable in the histories of many prominent political leaders.
The big question needs to be addressed: what happens in those who do NOT exercise this personal power? What is it about President Reagan that kept his pants zipped?
I think Randy has it right. One needs to be regularly re-normed or one loses sight of one’s common humanity.
This need for re-norming may account for much of our Washington follies; legislators lose touch with their constitutents to the extent that they tell them (as did Barney Frank) to go to someplace hot.
Alas for those who lose touch with reality. Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad.
I didn’t make that up.
Skooks Your timing impeccable with Arnold’s liason on this morning’s news. Picasso said “women f— power” and this is proven true not just in D.C. but in the Boardrooms,the playing fields and even the churchs of our country.
My point Skooks is this is not a left ,right socialist,conservative issue. Power corrupts.For men to use this power in ammoral ways is absolutely unacceptable regardless of party or religion and you know it occurs across the board.
John Cooper.To link Obama to Strauss-Kahn because it is “Rumored they May” buy the same suits is ASSININE.
Randy and Mathman Concur with your well written comments.
Rich– I thought you libs were supposed to be “nuanced”. Well, since apprently you’re not, I guess I’ll have to spell it out for you: Strauss-Kahn and Obama are both narcissists. Why else would they (and Ahnold, too, as it turns out) buy clothes at a boutique that advertises they sell “the costliest men’s wear in the world”?
http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/you-look-mahvelous/
John Cooper Nuanced I’m not.Rumors and maybes are nuanced.
BTW If a man buys expensive suits do we really care?
It’s rumored that maybe Frank Sinatra or Cary Grant might have on occasion taken their good friend Ronald Reagan to buy a suit at etc etc
Nan G. says ‘leaders of progressive left love Islam because they share in their abusive attitudes towards women” REALLY
Skooks Thanks
Strauss-Kahn sounds German??
Rich, I alluded to the fact that men from both sides of the aisle are vulnerable to the temptations that accompany power.
It is the hypocrisy of the ultra-Liberal who wears his compassion for the downtrodden on his sleeve, that is the most pathetic among the womanizers. I tend to doubt the sincerity of those who plead their case for the disadvantaged the loudest, for they seem to be the flagrant abusers.
Although, we hear about the most outrageous abuses, the problems are far more widespread than our press and our consciences will allow us to admit.
Are women susceptible to abuses of power? Probably not in a manner that becomes apparent in sexual conquest, but the abuse of power by Pelosi with her airplanes and liquor bills is an example. There have been several examples of women abusing their staff in the congressional ranks, but for a woman to step into the sexual world with power is seen as even more despicable and even demented and there would be a short lease on her political future..
But, yes, men of power tend to succumb to the weaknesses of their character, despite political affiliation; unfortunately, the release of sexual fantasies and unfulfilled desires, suddenly become possible with the weak and damaged women who are attracted to men of power. It is a peculiar phenomenon that probably relates back to the time when our forefathers traveled in hunting and gathering groups and women felt safer with the men who wielded power. It is laughable to think of the pols in Washington having positions of power in the hunting and gathering groups, but the biological urge may be the same.
I had often wondered why the leaders of the ”Progressive” Left loves backward Islam so very much.
This essay of yours, Skookum, helps explain one deep psychological reason: at their top levels of power, they both share in their abusive attitude toward females.
Sure the Left claims women are to be considered ”equal.”
Islam says Muslim females equal 1/4 of a male (non-Muslim females equal far less).
But both claims are just cover for what comes next: the use and abuse of females sexually.
“Strauss-Kahn,” anybody know the background of that name?
Here’s another cute little Leftist abuse of women in the name of ”the Peace Corps.”
From:
The Peace Corps at 50: What’s a Little Rape, Murder, and Brutalization of Women Between Friends?
READ THE WHOLE THING
John, I read the link. It raises some interesting points; at least, if the link is factual. For instance, at what point did Obama become so rich?
He causes major disruptions by visiting LA, so he can’t just drop in for a fitting and a selection of material.
I am not familiar with the income of Community Organizers, but I don’t think it is enough to buy $10,000 suits, nor is missing deadlines on $100,000 advances for writing books all that lucrative. Very few congressmen can afford those suits until they have time to tap into the corruption; so the underlying question is, at what point could Obama afford $ 10,000 suits? Assuming the link is accurate.
Psychology is a manifastation of philosophy which is a case of justification. The Socialist-Marxist-Monarchy axis is repleat with cases just like RSK; he just knows he is entitled to drop trou and demand sexual favors whenever he gets the urge. His lawyers are claiming, at his arraignment, that the maid, who is a wife and mother of a teenage girl, “she asked for it.”
Socialists-Leftist-Marxists-“Progressives”-Democrats have nothing but distain for work and workers.
Nan I have been reading of the cover ups by the Peace Corps. I think there are several factors within this dynamic. The Peace Corps doesn’t want their pool of recruits to lose their enthusiasm with the realization that the Third World is a dangerous place. Like most charitable organizations the Peace Corps relies upon voluntary servitude of young people who are blinded with the overwhelming desire to do good in the world, while fat cats send them into the meat grinder of reality and rake in the funds that our government provides for the white slavery of the naive. If the wide eyed college kids knew they were being pimped for their stupidity, while others become wealthy it would be much harder to find the stupid and naive volunteers to be led like sheep to the abattoir. No the fat cats who rake in the funds for whoring the stupid and naive don’t want their cash cow to be scrutinized by the public or the bean counters. In reality, it is a dirty little whore house that takes advantage of the young and accomplishes nothing other than making cynics out of some and ruining others.
Sooth, apparently she followed hotel rules for maids cleaning rooms and Dom had overstayed the checkout time. His hasty departure is circumspect, but he has special arrangements with Air France that allows him to fly First Class on any flight without notice, so the flight was probably not precooked. In France the behavior of rapists is excused if the men are important,
There is a problem with diplomatic immunity; he was not on official business, so immunity is not a factor. A major mistake in judgement by Dom; however, he is the Socialist Party candidate for the office of president of France, surely he is qualified for some form of dispensation.
Rape in the US is a serious charge, such notoriety could spoil his chances for election. Perhaps a presidential pardon for a presidential frontrunner or a beer summit might turn the public’s animosity toward the Socialist and his peculiar tendency to rape the lower classes.
Sooth, I read that woman is a devout Muslim, who was very shy. Do you think it is likely she found the old Frenchman to be irresistible. Only in his dreams!
The French are outraged that we are treating an Elite rapist like a common criminal. I hope we aren’t straining international “relations”.

____________________________
I asked if Mr. Strauss-Kahn is 1/2 from a Muslim parent.
News to me about the maid being Muslim.
Link?
If true her victimhood could be her death warrant!
Found the news about the maid.
Bio about Strauss-Kahn says he was born and spent his childhood in Morocco.
In 1997, he won election as Mayor to the “melting pot” city of Sarcelles, just north of Paris. The suburb is known as one of the main areas of Muslim Youth riots starting in 2005. It’s also been the site of numerous attacks by Muslim Youth on local French citizens. (Sarcelles’ suburbs are on the list of ”no go zones” for actual French people, btw.)
Strauss-Kahn has long been viewed as an Arabist, and has pushed for more taxpayer-funded bail-outs by northern European nations for Middle Eastern nations.
I’ve read that he requires a special cell with catered meals and guards when he is moved; presumably, to avoid contact with other unsavory rapists. Why can’t wealthy rapists pay for their own incarceration?
If you can afford to stay in $3,000 night hotels, you should be able to fork out $50,000 a year to sit in the slammer and receive special treatment for your white collar neck after committing a very un-white collar crime.
I am thinking of the Kennedy clan that favors rape and murder, why shouldn’t the Kennedy estate support their sorry relatives while they repay their debt to society.
High calibre stuff as I’ve always come to expect of you, Skook. I’m somewhat in agreement that powerful men, without regular reality checks of humility, are prone to abuse of women sexually. After all, what is rape but an exercise of perceived power. It sure isn’t about sexual gratification, save for those that are gratified by terrorizing another human (regardless of gender). But there are also powerful men that do not behave so lowly.
I don’t think I hold abusive power of men in a category of political preferences or leanings either. I believe you can find such men on either sides of political debate. And while women are incapable of rape in the standard sense, there are also women who are abusive towards others as a display of their self perceived power.
In the long run, it comes down many who cannot handle long term or unchecked power well. Thus the Lord Acton quote, “”Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” holds true as a challenge of one’s humanity and self resolve. Politics – of any slant – tends to breed power, but it’s not the only way to achieve power. Even politicians can be led around by the nose by well monied private citizens. ’tis a problem we see not only in our nation/state global governments, but even in the international bodies that hold sway over many of these nations… and would include movements such as the enviromentalists, financial institutions, and even the power of OPEC nations.
BTW, even the smaller players can feign an inflated sense of power, as has been evidenced by the rash of UN “peacekeepers” and the charges of everything from rape to murder in the course of their “peacekeeping”. We’ve also had the history of some military who’ve gone off the deep end when involved in especially traumatic warfare, as we’ve had to engage in since the guerilla strategy of Vietnam, and now urban warfare in cities.
Perhaps we pay attention more when the positions held are higher up. But it really does come down to more of a personal resolve… how well can anyone manage power. I don’t think it’s limited to politics. But it sure is a good “gateway” drug to getting power for many.
INRE his origins, Nan G. His father was French. Mother was a Russian/Tunisian journalist. Paternal grandmother was Belgium Catholic but DSK is also of Jewish Sephardic and Ashkenazic descent. To put it simply, he’s a French Jew… as was his father.
Meanwhile, neighbors of the maid described her as an "extremely quiet," French-speaking immigrant from the West African nation of Guinea who lives with her teen daughter in The Bronx.
;She is extremely quiet. She only smiles at certain people," said neighbor Mark Gangadeen, adding that she wears a head scarf.
Another neighbor, Assetou Kamara, 33, said the woman is a devout Muslim.
The maid’s brother said his sister is very tired and needs a rest.
She’s a wonderful, hardworking woman, and she’s in a lot of pain, the sibling said, adding that he has encouraged her to hire a lawyer.

Besides he being a Socialist-Royalist Snob the rest of this ug’s background is just typical aristo crap. As a New York resident I want him in the mingle with all the other low lives at Rikers so give me the link that he is getting lace curtain treatment on the taxpayers’ dime. The visage’ of that guy is so ugly homely that there is no chance any female would ever “she wanted it”. He should have done a Charlie Sheen and paid cash for a bevy of bimbos. Instead of being pointed out in a line-up at the East Harlem Precinct he could have had his own line-up of classy looking hookers in the Sofitel lobby.

Some French see him as heroic?
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/267473/dsk-anthony-daniels
Libération carried a curious article by a novelist called Luis de Miranda, titled “A philosophical hero.” It is only in France — no, only in Paris, and only in certain arrondissements of Paris at that — that such an article could be published. The author takes DSK’s guilt for granted, but does not condemn him for it, quite the reverse. “We bet,” said the author, “that in his depths Dominique Strauss-Kahn is joyful. Perhaps he doesn’t admit it to himself yet. But behaving thus at this point in his biography could only have been voluntary. I add that it is heroic.”
I prefer the author’s summary of the Philosophical Hero:
Actually, DSK as Socialist candidate for the presidency would have been a good thing for France. That is because he is a socialist the same way that Genghis Khan was a humanitarian. Not that the others are exactly red in tooth and claw; they are corporatists rather than socialists.
Perhaps, it is merely a preliminary move before the Socialists disavow him.
There are many accusations: including one in which he was described as a chimp in heat.

Skookum–
What stunned me about this entire episode is that the director of the IMF is an avowed socialist. Why the hell is the U.S. taxpayer supporting this institution?
JC, we support the IMF and their corruption. I suppose it is a form of wealth redistribution. We give Socialist thugs around the world billions so that they will be Elites in the New World Order of Socialism. The little people see no benefit other than scams and window dressing. The money is dropped into the pockets of warlords and dictators so that they can sit with the other thugs of the world with smug satisfaction at how they control and rape the world. They function like the political machine of Chicago, you must be close to the boss to get a huge share of the money. Play the game, run a country, kill a few smart people and you can expect a share to help the poor in your own country. It is corruption at the highest levels, but don’t look for Obama to straighten it out, this is the kind of economics he understands. Rob the rich and give it to thugs, this is basic Socialism.
Add one more to the list: Jeffery Epstein was another one of these “do-gooders” and a hedge fund billionaire, he got caught raping young girls, he has since spent a lot of money on damage control.
In the case of any one of these freak’os, a good long time spent as a punching bag in or out of prison would do wonders for their artificially inflated egos.
I GOT IT: NEW INVENTION – SOLAR POWERED GUILLOTINE
Up on the platform in front of Madame DeFarge and her gaggle of knitting N.O.W. Nags are two solar panels connected to batteries that will power the blade up to the desired height; then, with a push of a button, the blade drops. No more need for humans to turn the heavy crank lifting the blade.
As strange and unexplainable as this whole situation seems, we are presented with an avowed communist and a communist activist, a socialist party member, sitting atop the world’s international cash redistribution machine.
Another narcissist? Very probably.
Does he really care about the “comrades” in the hinterlands? Impossible.
Is he a self serving egocentric idiot enjoying and abusing his power, as he dispenses someone else’s billions? As much as he feels NO guilt about raping a hotel maid. It is his right and expectation, because after all, he is omnipotent.
In a world where the leader of its most powerful and advanced country is a community organizer surrounded by socialists and communist sympathizers, . . . it rather fits. Makes no sense, but at least it’s consistent.
. . . . Enjoyed the read Skook. Well done.
A bunch of mentaly disturbed, unfit to be in power should be relegate to servant for life in the prison,
where they commit their perversion, and disposessed so to see those who protect them get no more cash
for hiding the criminal, then the speech would change radicaly from saying !!! what a talented person to be in top jobs in FRANCE, to what a creep, how can he get a job in GOVERNMENT, IF HE CANNOT
KEEP HIS BRAIN IN HIS PANTS, YES HIS BRAIN IN HIS PANTS LIKE A PERVERT DO.

Talking of abuse and hypocrisy – why is it that so many Republicans, from a party that bangs on about ‘family values’ has so many child abusers?
http://armchairsubversive.blogspot.com/
Clinton was impeached, but not for sexual improprieties as the Left is trying to write into history for lame brains. He was impeached and disbarred for committing perjury.
It could be argued that Clinton and DSK are higher profile politicians than campaign workers and activists, but that involves logic and common sense.
In the criminal court, offenders from a country of over three hundred million can be segregated into three major political groups Democrat, Republican, or Independent; to assume that all or none of certain types of offenders are members of a particular group requires a certain degree of ignorance.
