    New revelations about Tim Geithner’s phone records show an appallingly small Wall Street circle. With a probe likely, Simon Johnson says the Treasury secretary needs a bailout—from Larry Summers.

    Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner faces a major public-relations problem. His phone records and broader calendar, obtained by the Associated Press, indicate that most of his contacts with the financial sector in the first seven months of this year were in fact with just three mega-banks: Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and J.P. Morgan Chase.

    While such skewed access to a top policymaker would raise eyebrows at any time, this disclosure is particularly difficult for Geithner. He is known to have deep contacts with a small number of banks, partly from his time at the New York Fed (as reported by The New York Times in April) and partly from his mentor, Robert Rubin, formerly of Goldman and Citi.

      MontgomeryScott is right…

      All these criminals worked for Kissinger and Associates or a Rockefeller Foundation at some point in their lives.

      MontgomeryScott Reply:

      Sorry, Patriot, but…
      I don’t recognise ‘Zerg’.
      I don’t know about ‘RENSFIELD’…

      Bilderberg and Rumsfeldt are easily recognizable, however, to me…

      These ties should be easy to see, to anyone who read what I wrote.
      The ‘joke’ was called ‘TURBO-TAX TIMMY’.

      WilliamMorgan-AmericanHero Reply:

      Besides Geithner, Paulson, Summers and Bernanke etc. etc. etc. are also CFR members.

      It was CFR members (Cheney, Zelikow etc.) who ran the PNAC group and wished for their ‘New Pearl Harbor’ to happen, and right after it did, CFR member Gary Hart, speaking at the hq of the CFR in NYC, said basically ‘We should use this tragedy to help bring the New World Order plan into fruiton’, and when the ‘Jersey Girls’ and others complained about the need for an investigation, they offered up CFR bigwig Kissinger. that war criminal was rejected by the people and so they gave us the 9/11 Commission- run by a bunch of CFR members including Zelikow.
      Then the head of the EPA, CFR member Christine Whitman said that the air around ‘Ground Zero’ is “safe to breath”.
      Then CFR member John McCain joined Popular Mechanics to help poo-pooed ‘conspiracy theorists’.

      Let us not ignore Timothy Geithners extensive ZIONIST/JUDAIC connections:
      (using most of MontgomeryScott’s list from above)

      1) main contacts were three mega-banks: Goldman Sachs (Judaic founder & CEO), Citigroup, and J.P. Morgan Chase
      his wife is believed to be Judaic
      2) linked to Kissinger (Judaic)
      3) Undersecratary of the Treasury for International Affairs under RUBIN (Judaic) and SUMMERS (Judaic) (Geithner is basically their protege)
      4) Senior Fellow, Int’l Economics, COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS (many members are Judaics: Summers and Bernanke etc. )
      5) Policy Development and Review, INT’L MONETARY FUND (most leaders are Judaics)
      6) President of the Federal Reserve bank of New York (dominated by Judaics), and vice chairman of Federal Open market Committee
      7) A member of ‘The Group Of Thirty” which is led by Paul Volcker (Judaic as well) 8) Arranged the sale of BEAR STEARNS (Judaic former CEO) , involved in the bailout of AIG (Judaic CEO Robert Benmosche) , and decision NOT to save Lehman Brothers

      Not all in this network are Judaics, but at 2.5% of the population the list above again shows the amazing influence of this small minority in the financial sector.

      -uh, hey Monty- he got this notion FROM Hannity. If you’d have watched the youtube vid he linked to you’d know that.
      Besides, the govt. has the ability to see the radiation glow from any nuclear device from a distance and they are constantly looking. No one could likely even bring such a bomb, assuming they could make one which is extremely involved and requires very hard to make and handle ingredients, close to Washington or NYC.

      The joint audit by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction and the United State Department of State Inspector General released yesterday does not, as some press reports have suggested, allege that Blackwater was ever complicit in overbilling the United States government for work it performed in Iraq in 2006 and 2007. The audit does not even state that the government overpaid Blackwater for staffing issues. All it suggests is that invoices spanning a period of time are reviewed. A $55 million penalty has in no way been determined.

      In fact, the government contracting officer determined that Blackwater was compliant with the terms of the contract at the time for which they were reviewing and the therefore did not apply any deductions or penalties. Blackwater only billed for services provided.
