    $100 Billion Bailout For IMF Tagged On To War Funding Bill 030609IMF

    Democrats in Congress have agreed to provide a $100 billion credit line to the International Monetary Fund, tagging it onto the war supplemental intended for operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq.

    The measure would also increase the U.S. member contribution to the IMF by $8 billion and authorize the United States to back the IMF’s plan to sell 400 tons (12.97 million ounces) of gold, according to lawmakers’ aides quoted in a Reuters report.

    This would fulfil Obama’s pledge to the G20 in April, to contribute toward a $500 billion boost for the IMF, which it says will go toward “helping poorer nations” during the economic downturn.

    However, what the The Treasury Department is really proposing is an international version of the Wall Street bailout; a $100 billion bailout for the IMF, which amounts to a bailout for European banks facing big losses in Central and Eastern Europe.

    If the bill pasess, we will see $100 billion in U.S. tax dollars simply handed over to foreign banks with no oversight.

    House Republicans, including Minority Leader John Boehner, have threatened to vote no on the war funding if the IMF money is attached.

    “Let’s be clear: a troop-funding bill should fund our troops, period,” said Boehner. “Weighing down this critical legislation with nondefense spending will only drag this process out further and cost it essential Republican support needed for passage.”

    “We should not be having this discussion. IMF funding has no business being included in the war supplemental” bill, said Representative Eric Cantor, a member of the Republican leadership.

    The passage of the bill will be an extrememly close run contest, given that GOP votes are needed to make up for 51 anti-war Democrats who opposed it last month.

    If all Republicans vote no, then the House leadership will need 18 of the Democrats to reverse their defection and vote yes.

    Of course, because the IMF money is tagged onto a bill to fund U.S. troops in the field, there is increased pressure on those considering voting down the measure.

    We have previously highlighted the ongoing agenda to vastly empower the IMF and transform the institution into a “bank of the world” with the power to print its own currency.

    This is not a “conspiracy theory”.

    As the Washington Post highlighted two months ago, the agenda is laid out in publicly available internal IMF documents, interviews and think-tank reports.

    It is part of an open move to empower a group of unelected central bankers with the authority to usurp state sovereignty by overseeing benchmarks for national economic governance and setting regulations for financial institutions all over the globe.

    As we have also previously highlighted, both the IMF and the United Nations have thrown their weight behind proposals to implement a de-facto global financial dictatorship.

    Both bodies have expressed support for new world reserve currency system to replace the dollar as part of the acceleration towards a new economic world order.

      Nobody even knows who a “jew” or a “goyim” is anymore. Even one grandparent down the line who is a direct descendant of Jacob over the last 5000 years makes you genetically Jewish.

      There are fewer “goyim” then you might expect.

      I do have some Jewish blood, but I would place myself under “goyim” punishment because many people I know do not have any, including many family members, like one of my parents.

      The Roman emperors were cheating their people too. By the time of about fourth century A.D., 300-400 virtually all of the ancient coinage was debased of valuable metals such as silver. That is why the Roman empire fell, because thier money became as worthless as the metal they coined it with!!! Go TO >>>> http://www.BayofCoins.com and see through the descriptions on these ancient coins that you can buy, the megalomoniacal way that these Roman Emperors behaved. Thanks!

      A lot of American’s have trouble actually realizing and believing that “their” .gov would lie to them, or somehow hurt them. So right now what America is going through is a very fast, and very sharp learning curve. Most American’s are finally catching on, that their .gov has lied to them, and is ripping them off daily at the gas pumps. And not to mention stealing all of their hard earned income through insane and out of control tax’s, that are now being wasted on endless, non-stop wars that are killing their friends and family.

      It isn’t going to take very much longer, before all American’s finally realize that the only options left on the table for them to Take their Freedoms Back from the insane and out of control maniacs in DC. American’s have a long history of being slow to react and move on big problems that they thought they might be able to ignore, and they would just go away. Finally though it dawns on all Americans, and they realize that the bottom line fact is that they have to Grid-Lock DC and shut them down.

      Finally American’s are realizing that they will have to swarm on DC, grid-lock it, shut them down, and literally throw the lying ass, murdering bastards out of DC for good. This is what our Fore-Fathers had to do, it is in the bloodline of Americans to do it again, weather they think they can or not. All across America, people are finally waking up to the reality of how much they are being ripped off, and how much they are being lied to.

      That knowledge is the catalyst that will soon touch off the powder keg of the soon coming 2nd American Revolution.

      Freedom really is worth fighting for, and all Americans know that fact. Some day soon, there will be a huge uprising all across America, and Millions will swarm all over DC and literally shut it all down, and throw the lying ass, murdering bastards out for good. Then The Constitution will breath and live again for another generation of People who just want to live Free, and not be governed and taxed to death by any insane and out of control bunch of lunatics.

      Ethics office and whistleblower hotline

      The IMF also has its own Ethics Office. Established as an independent arm of the Fund in 2000, the Office provides advice and guidance to IMF staff, and undertakes investigations into allegations of unethical behavior and misconduct. An Integrity Hotline—a 24-hour whistleblowing system—was launched in 2008.

      Funny the number isn’t mentioned.

      The IMF is another ‘creditor’ getting it’s assets stemming from the bankruptcy of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

      They already stole $14.6 trillion. What’s another $100 billion going to do?

      What will this do to the price of gold? Is this a gold manipulation ploy?

      Are the Dems insane??? People here at home with no jobs, losing homes, police protection being curtailed, etc etc but they got money to bail out foreigners with OUR tax dollars? The Tree of Liberty is wilting badly. It needs some serious watering.

      All of these BANK.. from City, Goldman/Sachs..to the IMF..

      They LOAN / LENT money – made huge profits for years n years. Then, through THEIR own fault.. they get into financial trouble. At which point, public money from 1st world countries is GIVEN to them to bail them out. Or in this IMF case: To allow the IMF to loan money.. AT INTEREST to whoever it decides.

      Here’s what I’m missing:
      Is ANY of this bailout money being, or is going to be, paid BACK to we, the tax payers? Or is it truly the situation that the IMF (etc) are given FREE money at the expense of tax payers.. that they can now lend money out to (me or whoever, whatever) AT INTEREST!??

      In all the debate I’ve seen. Never have I seen anyone mention that to just GIVE money, to businesses that MAKE money from lending money – rather then LEND money to them – is crazy.

      Can someone tell me please – is the bailout and funding the IMF and banks just a GIFT? Or is it a loan?
