Geithner was “involved in just about every flawed bailout” of the Bush era
- Text size
The New York Times
January 21, 2009
Timothy F. Geithner, President Obama’s nominee to be Treasury secretary, is testifying before the Senate Finance Committee at his confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
As president of the New York Federal Reserve since 2003, Mr. Geithner has been a central player in building the vast bailout plans that the government has extended to Wall Street firms and other troubled financial institutions, such as the giant insurer American International Group. After his nomination, it was disclosed that Mr. Geithner failed to pay more than $34,000 in taxes for Social Security and Medicare when he was a senior official at the International Monetary Fund from 2001 to 2003, including a small payment in 2004 after he left.
The Senate Finance Committee hearing began at 10 a.m. in Washington, with opening statements from Senator Max Baucus, the committee chairman, and Senator Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican.

Blah Blah Blah Blah, we’re the bankers and let’s get your dog and pony show for the ignorant public over with, so we can continue to steal all your tax-payer money and give it to his friends, the bankers.
Every person on the panel, and the criminal testifying for his position, are all on the same team.
It’s a carefully written script and no one strays from the words that are written for them.
Use real money, and all their f---ing s--- would stop immediately. Bankers should only be allowed to lend money, never to create it. That’s the problem.

In case some didn’t know………….one of the “major” reasons AIG was bailed out is because the federal workers pension plan was placed in their hands. Can’t bite the hand that feeds you (steals from you) now can ya?

Why does Obama want Geithner?
January 21st, 2009 at 3:47 pm
He was involved? So what? He’s a NY banker and a case could be made that they were all, in one way or another, involved.
This needless sensationalism is unhelpful.

Jim Edwards,
You stupid fool. So what? why not just let them all get away with everything, because hey- they’re all crooks any way. (And a good case could be made that those like you are their accomplices). The ignorance of assholes has enabled our government and country to go straight down the tubes with barely a fight.
Another thing, fool- why should anyone get upset about FEMA concentration camps or false flag mass killings? what the hell? We’re all going to die someday anyway- why not let the government do the job…. Any hype over such a thing is just needless sensationalism and melodrama.
What a gaggle of idiots and lazy swine this country has bred for “citizens”.

I watched this slick, slimy SOB on tv saying how sorry he was, it was just an oversight….yadda yadda yadda…….FROM 2001-2004. helluva oversight! Most of these politicians must have been cloned with some gene modifications.

A staged alien invasion will occur, forcing all nations, religions, and cultures to give up separate identities and unite under the United Nations/Illuminati/Global Government. The US dollar already says Novus Ordo Seclorem, i.e., New World Order. The United States new army slogan was changed after decades to, “An Army of One.” Certain alien groups will be introduced and presented as enemies invading and the other group as heroes who saved the Earth, these will be Reptilians and most likely the Sirians from Sirius A.
UFOS:
Over 90% of all UFO sightings on this planet are UFOs that are from Earth. When the Nazis got the technology to make UFOs (spacecraft or spaceships), they were not given the instructions on how to make the UFOs have the technological ability for hyperspace travel. Now the Illuminati have some of the best technology available.
NEWS / TV / MOVIES / MEDIA:
The past few years the Illuminati have increasingly been putting out more and more alien, UFO and outer space information… more than they ever have before. They are putting many UFO sightings with credible witnesses in the media lately, it is not presented as a joke anymore. There are alien abduction and UFO shows on TV every single day on channels like The History Channel. All of this is done to imprint the populations mind-pattern for the staged alien invasion.
ILLUMINATI NASA:
NASA is an Illuminati front, it is only for public consumption. The real space program has been going on behind the scenes for many decades, and is much more advanced then they allow the public to know. All of the Apollo Missions were staged.
CROP CIRCLES:
Crop Circles are done by the Illuminati secret government and were created at Brookhaven Labs decades ago. They are archetype symbols of hyperspace language that are infused into precise locations on the morphogenetic energy grid in order to invoke changes on the planet.
HISTORY:
Almost everything you know about history is a lie. Most of it is rewritten or fabricated to promote Illuminati views of the world and provide you with “proof” of historical facts. Most countries are a creation of the various Illuminati families to strengthen their positions with local inhabitants. Borders and boundaries were arbitrarily and strategically drawn. Countries like Switzerland, Kuwait, Yugoslavia, Israel, and even the United States of America, are all artificially created. In fact, the USA is actually the Virginia Corporation based in London. Many of the figures from ancient history were also fabricated. Sometimes, a group of them were conglomerated into a single superhero. Conversely, many mythical figures were actually real personages who were relegated to mythical status so that they would have no real value to those who learned about them. The founding fathers of the United States were mostly Masons and Illuminati lackeys who created a front for their European masters. They killed the native peoples so that the colonists could not learn about secret ways to access the God-Mind. Europe was first colonized by Atlantean refugees and then conquered by the hybrid descendents from Sumeria who also controlled ancient Egypt and India. Most western Jews are actually descendents of the Khazars from the Caucasus Mountains who entered into Europe after converting en masse to Judaism in the 800s AD. They did this to avoid control by Rome. Everything that you learned in school was based on lies and deception. The same is true for science, philosophy, and religion. Do not be a mindless robot. Learn the truth of where you came from as well as who and what you truly are. Do your own research and pass the truth on to keep future historical accounts accurate.
THE BIBLE:
The bible is a coded and symbolic work that is not to be taken literally. A few years ago, Israeli scientists working for the Mossad released information saying that the first five books of Moses are actually encoded texts that could only be deciphered by running the words without breaks between them through a computer system. In this way, sequences of letters which in Hebrew are also numbers, were found to contain entire messages related to the modern world and future. The Bible code also showed potential futures and dates, stating that it was up to each person to determine which future they wanted to create. The implication was that all possibilities would occur somewhere in the vastness of existence and parallel realities within the God-Mind. Interestingly, the codes were related to the cover story in the conventional part of the Bible. The computer was even able to show hyperspace archetypes encoded in the sequences of codes. When all of the archetype symbols were put together to create an overall master symbol, it showed a tetrahedron inside of an octahedron. All forms come from this one master God-Mind symbol. In the past, as in the present, nations and cultures used words and statements from the Bible as a justification and excuse to kill other people. Most of the New Testament has been rewritten during Roman times to facilitate the goals of the Illuminati who then controlled the Vatican. Every letter and word in the Hebrew Bible has a vibration along with the meaning. Studying this is a science called Gematria. By just changing a letter in a word, the vibration changes. By adding and subtracting vowels you can alter the meaning and manifestation. This is part of the Kabbala mystery which is understood in many Secret Societies. This is why the Illuminati love to play on words and meanings—giving them double and triple entendres. The Bible is not the Word of God. It was written by humans and altered many times. The Old Testament was created by a computer, probably not of this Earth. Studying this code is a fascinating lifetime’s work well worth the effort. Bible school will never be the same!
RELIGION:
Religion is said to be the opiate of the people. This means that the masses use their faith and belief system to fall back upon when they do not understand their own lives. It also means that the people use religion to ignore reality and blindly accept what they are told by religious leaders and doctrines in the same way that one would accept a drug-induced stupor. All religions, no matter what the premise, are a form of mind-control. Religion is a way for a small group of people to control large masses of people through fear, intimidation, and blind following. There is absolutely no self-interpretation. You must believe what you are told about God and the world. Any deviation is blasphemous. Here is some news—God-Mind does not have a religion! God-Mind is all that is. It has no agenda, no punishment, no doctrine, no demands, and no ritual. All of that comes from people who want to control others. God-Mind is neutral and allows all things so that It can know itself. It cannot narrow Self down to rules and regulations, and throw lightning bolts at those who do not believe. It allows freewill, the direct opposite of what religion dictates. Admittedly, many devoutly religious people live a good life never having to explain anything since all is “God’s Will.” But, they never learn truth. They never understand life. They know nothing of God. It is all a mystery to them. Life should not be a mystery. Religion precludes personal responsibility and promotes ignorance. No religion has all the answers, but each of you does inside of yourselves. Look there. Ritual and ceremony are symbolic, and in actuality are meaningless. Religion is designed for those with limited thinking capacity who are afraid or unwilling to know more. A New World Religion will be imposed upon the Earth. It will encompass all that has gone before, taking the best of deception and mind-control, and putting it into a neat little package that all will be forced to obey. Not a pretty picture. But then, no religion ever is. It has been the source of war and hate since time began.

Sad day in this country , Can you believe we even live in this time? . Just about all of our American ideals have been destroyed . Our own elected senators and the house voted for this America. They stole millions from their own people . I am in shock that these people get up and go to work , and telling us they are looking out for our values. Really I wonder what they hope to achieve . So these “elites”, really run things huh? and they kill anyone who would speak out about this openly?. Wow can you guys believe that our fore fathers Aren’t poping out of the ground right now and ending these evil men. Strange days indeed!

Will Geithner be among the Invasion instigators?Do the alien Sirians have anything to do with Syria(on Earth)? Does anyone know if there has been any relation to the naming & alians.
By the way, where can one read in-depth of the “Sirians”, any suggestions pls.TY.

With his criminal background, he’s a shoein to be accepted by his coconspirators in Congress, most of whom have been receiving contributions from the Fed. Most of whom probably dont pay taxes either. Great work Alex!

SCREW THIS
January 21st, 2009 at 8:40 pm
I do not understand evil. Don’t these people read history? Don’t they know that the pawns and middlemen are ALWAYS eliminated in the end? The global elite ALWAYS tie up their loose ends. Assassins are always killed by assassins that kill themselves. Links in the chain of evidence leading back to the global elite are always cut so as to hide the ties of culpability. How can you work for these elitists and not know that you are disposable? I just don’t get it.
Maybe we are going about this whole information thing the wrong way. Maybe we should be concentrating on informing the middlemen selling the rest of us out. Maybe if we informed them about the history of the middlemen puppets and how they are ALWAYS disposed of in the end, they would be less willing to do the bidding of the global elite.
Heinlein wrote about how evil is fundamentally stupid in his science fictions stories. Read, “Lost Legacy” (1941)

#16 i was just worrying my friends about this very issue on inauguration. does obama think he can ride the tiger and stroll free? tho i guess many- clinton, bush etc have, if you count the walking dead as living. by the time illuminati has weeded out and vetted their candidate, he will have been guaranteed to never veer off message. or they’d have eliminated him from the running to begin with.
there is a youtube tape of obama stuttering repeatedly- was he given a brain chip pre-inauguration?
#8 i would have ignored and dismissed all UFO stuff in the past. is till do. HOWEVER, i am aware that thwy will use this staged hoax as the biggest of them all. there was a WSJ talking about gematreia a few months ago (oct 08) and how a new messiah would appear. of course via revelation, we know there will be signs in the sky and all that HAARP/Tesla jazz. google Project Blue Beam. this week there has been a meteor sighting that has the whole Arab world in an uproar- starting with Saudi Arabia where the national military was called out etc. then was sighted all the way to indonesia. all psyops on our tax dollar. what a waste of $$$

You folks have been duped by Alex Jones. He’s the fraud. Sure our Government is corrupt, and most politcians can’t find their ass with both hands. Don’t put’em all in one category. I don’t believe Barack is corrupt. I’ve studied his upbringing, read his books, and frankly think he’s a pretty smart decent man with a family he cares about. If you want fear and high blood pressure , stay here with Alex. If you want to put your trust in someone with a little more Cred. go with most of your brothers and sisters who voted for a good man.
Who seems more full of s--- to you? Someone peddling bogus cancer cures , expensive freeze dryed food, Gold, safe deposit boxes, or ….well you know the answer.

They’re all CROOKS! Every damned one of them. I wish we could see their bosses. Who’s pulling their strings?
Soon their day will end. To hell with all of them!
God Save America!

Hello, help!
Deconstructmyhouse here
I got banned from the forum! I obey all the rules! I am helpful and considerate! What happened? I really love being part of the forum, I’m a hero member and I miss it. Can someone get back to me?
My name on the forum was:
deconstructmyhouse.
I’d really like to know why i was banned. The forum had become very important to me. Contributing and learning from the forum was a favorite part of my day. I can’t think of any possible reason that I was banned. My last post was a thoughtful addition to the chemtrail thread. I’ve never even been warned about anything, I’ve never even pissed anyone off! I’m very careful and respectful of the rules!
I’m really bummed!
Thanks, any help on this is appreciated.

being that he is the president of the most corrupt federal reserve bank i wonder why they would let a flaw be exposed at all
January 22nd, 2009 at 11:32 am
i’ve read some things on the ‘larouchepac’- website. it sounded interesting, so do you know this movement and if so, what do you think of it?

Letter to a Vdare.com columnist:
Twenty-five years ago, the drug problem was Columbia. The “War on Drugs” was implemented, and still functions to take the narcotics business away from the Columbianos, who wouldn’t share, and move it to the Mexicans, who would. The moneyed elite couldn’t allow the billions upon billions of profits to be used to set-up alternate centers of wealth and power. So they joined in partnerships with Mexicans (remember Mena, Arkansas?). Obviously, this is breaking down now, so a reason to intervene in Mexico will be ginned up so that the profits can flow again to the American and European elite. Is it an accident that Hillary, who’s husband facilitated the Dixie mafia, is now Secretary of State? The same reasons are behind the Clinton’s war on the Balkans – the Albanians who now control the narco trade in Europe, share.

sheesh, if i got caught not paying $34k in taxes, i’d be in jail, this guy gets a senate seat.
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:59 am
They are in total control. We just don’t realize it yet. They have become brazen.
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:51 am
Hey guys, is it just me or does Geithner look like Michael Milken?
hahahahaha

Interesting thought. I wonder who is contributing most of the money to Bill’s private foundation? Perhaps his share of the profits?
