His First Mistake...
Is Our Last.
"OK everyone that's a sucker Scape-Goat put your hand up"!
"You too Joe"!
This man, Tim Geithner, is the definition of the word "Evil"!
WASHINGTON – New York Federal Reserve Bank ,<---(WATCH), President Timothy Geithner won confirmation Monday as President Barack Obama's treasury secretary despite personal tax lapses that turned more than a third of the Senate against him. Obama immediately put him to work fixing an economy in "dangerous jeopardy." "We can't waste a day," Obama said, standing beside Geithner as he was sworn into office by Vice President Joe Biden. The Senate voted 60-34 to put Geithner in charge of the administration's economic team as it races to halt the worst financial slide in generations. The swearing-in followed less than an hour later, the administration seeking to emphasize that it was wasting no time in trying to address the financial crisis. Obama said there had been a "devastating loss in trust and confidence" in the U.S. economy. In his remarks, Geithner said the new administration would work first to stabilize the financial system and get the economy growing again and then would move to reform the system. "We are at a point of maximum challenge for our economy and our country," Geithner said to a standing-room only audience in Treasury Department's ornate Cash Room. On hand were Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, now director of Obama's National Economic Council. Referring to Geithner's tax problems, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Geithner had made amends — he has paid the taxes and penalties — and possessed the talent needed to steer the nation out of the crisis. Geithner, 47, served as undersecretary of the treasury for international affairs during the Clinton administration. As president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, he's been a key player in the government's response to collapsing financial institutions and the housing and credit markets since last summer. The ambivalence dogging lawmakers was reflected in the fact that a third of the chamber voted against Geithner, in large part because of his failure to pay all his taxes on income received from the International Monetary Fund in 2001 and in three subsequent years. Ten Republicans overlooked that matter and voted for confirmation. One Republican, Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, told reporters earlier in the day that he would vote yes, only to change his mind and vote no. Three Democrats and one independent voted against Geithner's confirmation, including Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., the longest-serving senator in history. "Had he not been nominated for treasury secretary, it's doubtful that he would have ever paid these taxes," Byrd said in a statement. For the prevailing majority, the real reason for Geithner's likely confirmation appears to be less a matter of bipartisan cooperation than political survival. Lawmakers of all stripes are eager to set the economy in the right direction long before voters judge their progress in the 2010 midterm elections. "People make mistakes and commit oversights," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. "Even the most intelligent and gifted — two adjectives that certainly apply to Mr. Geithner — make errors in their financial dealings." Even so, not everyone was convinced that the need for a speedy confirmation should trump concerns about the candidate. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, didn't buy Geithner's contention that he skipped paying some taxes because he was confused by the complexities of the tax code. "They were described by the nominee himself as 'careless mistakes,'" Collins said in prepared remarks. "It has become clear to me that this is not merely a matter of complexity leading to mistakes, but of inexcusable negligence." Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., agreed and noted that his is one of the few voices of dissent. "Nominees for positions that do not oversee tax reporting and collection have been forced to withdraw their nomination for more minor offenses. They have been ridden out of town on a verbal rail," Enzi told the Senate. "The fact that we're in a global economic crisis is not a reason to overlook these errors." "The Senate," he scolded, "is not supposed to be a group of 'yes' men." It wasn't. Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa lined up against the nominee, asking how someone of Geithner's "financial sophistication" could innocently not pay the taxes and then head up the agency that oversees the IRS. "How can Mr. Geithner speak with any credibility or authority?" Harkin said. Specter earlier in the day had told WHP radio in Harrisburg, Pa., that he planned to vote for confirmation, only to change his mind and vote no later in the evening. "I'm prepared to back Obama on this issue," Specter had said in the interview. "The economic situation is so tense right now and I don't want see us go back to square one and wait several weeks or longer for the process to bring in a new treasury secretary." The 10 Republicans who voted yes were Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee, John Cornyn of Texas, Mike Crapo of Idaho, John Ensign of Nevada, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, Hatch of Utah, Richard Shelby of Alabama, Olympia Snowe of Maine and George Voinovich of Ohio. The Democrats voting no were Sens. Byrd, Russell Feingold of Wisconsin and Harkin of Iowa. Also voting no was Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who caucuses with Democrats. Sens. Kit Bond, R-Mo., Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., were absent. Senate seats representing Minnesota and New York are vacant. The Senate Finance Committee approved Geithner's confirmation in an 18-5 vote last week. Obama Da Clone!
Who Owns Da Federal Reserve Bank?
Well here's a clue it's not you!
Or America.
) The Rothschild Family - London 2) The Rothschild Family - Berlin 3) The Lazard Brothers - Paris 4) Israel Seiff - Italy 5) Kuhn-Loeb Company - Germany 6) The Warburgs - Amsterdam 7) The Warburgs - Hamburg 8) Lehman Brothers - New York 9) Goldman & Sachs - New York 10) The Rockefeller Family - New York.
Now I don't know about you, but something is terribly wrong with this situation. Namely, don't we live in AMERICA? If so, why are seven of the top ten stockholders located in FOREIGN countries? That's 70%! To further convey how screwed-up this system is, Jim Marrs provides the following data in his phenomenal book, "Rule By Secrecy." He says that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which undeniably controls the other eleven Federal Reserve branches, is essentially controlled by two financial institutions:
1) Chase-Manhattan (controlled by the Rockefellers) - 6,389,445 shares - 32.3% 2) Citbank - 4,051,851 shares - 20.5%
Thus, these two entities control nearly 53% of the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
Doesn't that boggle your mind?
Now, considering how many trillions of dollars are involved here, and how the bankers are WAY above our "selected" officials in Washington, D.C., do you think the above-listed banks and families have an inordinate amount of say-so in how our country is being run?
Does any of those names sound familair?
Get A Clue Amereica!
This is Not "CHANGE"!
It's Da Same'Ol'Same'Ol!
"GET READY DA CRAWLER AM BACK"!
Luv Ya Guys
Wally.
6 Don't Just Sit There Say Sumthin !:
*Newsflash*
And you are surprised? I think far too many people expect too many results and changes with the "new" admin. I'm not saying there may not be changes but I'm skeptical they will be to the magnitude that some may expect.
There is no "Change" Jag. That's marketing. It's same guys are in charge.
We need to overhaul the whole system! That's what I've been talk'n about fer years.
No more boarders bros. No more dollars... Close every fuck'n bank... Revolution people!
It's gonna come, it's a matter of time and how much will we take before we over throw the "Mary Antoinette" attitudes.
We ain't no cake eaters, or are we?
I don't know Wally, you strike me as a pie eater.
Wake up America:
Dr. Quigley expresses this attitude perfectly:
"The chief problem of American political life for a long time has been how to make the two Congressional parties more national and more international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the Right, and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. The policies that are vital and necessary for America are no longer subjects of significant disagreement, but are disputable only in terms of procedure, priority and method..."
(from his 'Tragedy and Hope')
Jag I love my "Pie"!
I fact I've had "Pie" covered with cake. "Mmmm oiu Suuuuperb"!
