CONNECTION BETWEEN TIMOTHY GEITHNER AND GEORGE SOROS*

Kissinger did comment that Obama had "appointed an extraordinarily able group of people in both the international and financial fields." He didn't name names, but that obviously includes Geithner, who used to work for Kissinger Associates.

It also turns out that Geithner's father, Peter F. Geithner, serves on the board with Kissinger of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.

There has to be something more to the rationale for confirming Timothy Geithner, who can't even play his own taxes.

It doesn't take much digging. For anybody in the dark about this, please consult and closely study his bio. Geithner is a wheeler-dealer for powerful special interests.

If you examine the nature of the "Group of Thirty," an affiliation which appears at the bottom of his biography, right after his Council on Foreign Relations membership, you will quickly learn that the former President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank is an associate of the governor of the Chinese central bank through this mysterious organization of bankers and other top current and former officials from various countries. You will notice that other Obama nominees and associates are members, including Paul Volcker and Lawrence Summers.

You will also learn that this organization has been funded by--surprise--some of the same financial institutions getting federal bailout money. These include American International Group, Goldman Sachs and Citi, among others.

Because it has a website and publishes an annual report, all of this seems open and above board. But the fine print reveals that some of the meetings are by "invitation only."

The entire list of "contributors and supporters" of the "Group of Thirty" is quite impressive. You will find not only U.S. financial institutions getting bailout money, but central banks around the world and Arab financial interests. In addition, you also find private financial interests, including the hedge fund operated by billionaire and Obama contributor George Soros.

"There has to be something more to the rationale for confirming Timothy Geithner, who can't even pay his own taxes."

Remember, Tim became 'Turbo-Tax' Tim Geithner after he failed to file income tax returns, because he couldn't figure out how to run the popular program.

Remember, Obama said that Tim Geithner was really gonna take charge as WH Pressitute and tear up those nosey reporters with his rapier whit? Bawwahahaha!

It also turns out that Geithner's father, Peter F. Geithner, serves on the G-30 board with Kissinger of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.

RECOVERY THUGS

When you try to make sense of something without bothering to study the subject, events seem to be precipitated by supernatural forces.

Stop wasting your time and that of other people. Learn something about finance and then think about these matters again.

Eugene A. Ludwig, a member of the Group of Thirty, concludes (among other things in his 17 lessons learned from the 2008 financial crisis) that “increased transparency” is important.

http://www.group30.org/pubs/pub_1444.htm

I agree. Let’s have not “increased transparency”, let’s have Total Transparency...EVERY spending bill should be posted on the internet 7 days prior to a final vote so our “representatives” AND their constituents (us) have time to read it and voice our concerns. These “representatives” need to listen to “we the people”.

No earmarks(bribes), no funding for thousands of collectives/countries and 100% transparency including our “representative’s” yearly tax returns posted.

Thanks for posting, STD. These “masters of the universe” need to be____-_____ at the least or otherwise ______.

Thanks for the information, STD. Hope you’ve sent it on to GB.
Needs to be saved AND shared.

I don’t see where this is new info.
The bailouts were all among buddies, classmates, and mutually beneficial relationships all along. Geitner was/is a useful tool but not the same gravitas as most others. Sure these relationships exist. All have something personal to gain but I’m not so sure their political objectives are the same.
I don’t condone any of it but we’re kind of stuck with the hand we’re dealt. Till someone figures out how to stop efforts at currency inflation, the distruction will continue.

Soros wants a global currency/global govt. just like Kissinger. So he helped the Nazi’s and now he likes the Commies he is praising them trying to get them to play ball.

snippet...

The endgame of QE2 may be to motivate China to join a system of global governance and global currency against its wishes and better judgment.

Certainly the motivation for a global currency exists. Consider the comments of Henry Kissinger of one year ago:

I believe that what the Chinese are trying to do is to make themselves somewhat more autonomous of financial decisions made in the United States. And therefore, they want to reduce their reliance on the dollar as a reserve currency. It seems to me they are moving very gradually, very carefully to create the possibility of an alternative reserve currency. They cannot move rapidly because they cannot depreciate the dollar without hurting themselves [by taking losses on unpaid debt]. But over a ten year period, the thrust of the Chinese is to become less dependent on American financial decisions.

What is Kissinger’s solution? A “new world order.” China cannot be permitted to grow unrestrained while Europe and America are in decline.

George Soros has called for the same solution:

[We] really need to bring China into the creation of a new world order, financial world order. They are kind of reluctant members of the IMF. They play along. But they don’t make much of a contribution because it is not their… institution.

I think you need a new world order: China has to be a part of the process of creating it and they have to buy in. They have to own it. (Emphasis added). Continue at link

Notice his praise for China earlier today...

“There is a really remarkable, rapid shift of power and influence from the United States to China,” Mr. Soros said, likening the U.S.’s decline to that of the U.K. after the Second World War.

Because global economic power is shifting, Mr. Soros said China needs to change its focus. “China has risen very rapidly by looking out for its own interests,” he said. “They have now got to accept responsibility for world order and the interests of other people as well.”

Mr. Soros even went so far as to say that at times China wields more power than the U.S. because of the political gridlock in Washington. “Today China has not only a more vigorous economy, but actually a better functioning government than the United States,”

Kissinger: Obama primed to create ‘New World Order’

http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=85442

This EVIL little man should be in prison but instead he is helping to destroy America and bring about a global government. Of course nothing is said about the brutal tactics of the communists. The so called socialists we have in America today are nothing but communists they haven’t been able to disarm us yet thank goodness I have no doubts if they had they too would use brutal force to control every aspect of our lives and we would be slaves like the Chinese.

How Eugene Ludwig (Clintons roomie at Oxford) turned an obscure Treasury bureau into a bully-pulpit for banking reform.

by Todd Larson

“This is one moment I’ll never forget,” says Gene Ludwig, pointing to a photo on the wall of his Washington, DC, office. “The president looked me in the eye and said ‘Is this the right thing to do?’ And I said ‘Yes, it is.’ He looked across the cabinet table and said ‘Then just go do it.’ And I did.”

The 1993 photo is standard DC-insider fare: Ludwig stands outside the White House cabinet room with then-Secretary of the Treasury Lloyd Bentsen, current Secretary Robert Rubin, and President Clinton, among others. What Ludwig “did” after the picture was snapped is far from standard. Within the space of five years, Ludwig elevated his little-known bureau of the Treasury Department, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), into one of the most visible and powerful offices in the federal government. In the process, he became the most celebrated - and controversial - comptroller since Honest Abe first created the office in 1863.

As comptroller, Ludwig served as the chief federal supervisor and regulator for the country’s 3000 national banks. (Despite his title, the banks no longer issue currency; they do, however, hold close to 60% of US commercial banking assets.) In addition to policy recommendations, the job included supervision of the OCC’s vast staff of examiners, the teams responsible for on-site supervision of national banks’ loan and investment activities, liquidity measures, and overall risk sensitivity. The goal (per the OCC’s stated mission): to ensure the “safety and soundness of the national banking system” by reigning in and disciplining wayward banks whose policies might expose them to the risk of failure. [...]

Ludwig remains proudest, however, of his efforts to compel bank compliance with fair-lending laws and his revitalization of the Community Reinvestment act (CRA), a 1977 law requiring banks to invest in poorer neighborhoods and improve lending and service to low- and moderate-income borrowers. Although branded an “activist” for his vigorous support of the act - he enlisted the attorney general and secretary of Housing and Urban Development to help enforce it - he points to the cold, hard facts to justify his tactics. After just one Justice Department referral in the OCC’s previous 129 years, Ludwig’s tenure witnessed 27 fair-lending cases, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in fines against violators. Lending to low and moderate income Americans increased tenfold, as did national bank investments in community development corporations. “The national banking system as a whole,” he asserts, “did more to help low and moderate income Americans, and particularly Americans of color, than at any time in the history of the republic by far. The record speaks for itself, and I’m proud of it.”

Head down and hands in pockets, Gene Ludwig has paced his DC office for an hour, his story a restless recitation of oft-repeated events and statistics he seems eager, above all, to get through. Then, for the first time, he pauses, interrupting his narrative to reflect on the ethical and political imperatives behind his public record. “I think this is fundamental to the well-being of the country,” he explains. “We simply cannot be a nation of haves and have-nots. We can’t have a nation that’s the wealthiest nation on earth but leaves our citizens behind. It’s not only the right thing to do, it’s the only way to keep a safe and sane world.” contin

It’s a long article but worthwhile read. Gene Ludwig didn’t do it alone. It was a deliberate plan - check out the Clinton administration and their subsequent employment.

I believe China is the big honcho in this whole world order deal. We’re being sold out by their comrades who came after them. Timothy Geithner looks like a moron but he anything but...he was selected to keep an eye on the “one”. Don’t forget Maurice Strong went to China after he stole millions from the Food for Oil ripoff. They need to drain the world totally dry of their resources - it’s the only way they can rule the world and use us as cheap labor.

China Hands...

...In the 1940s, the term “China Hands” came to refer to a group of American diplomats, journalists, and soldiers who were known for their knowledge of China and influence on American policy before, during, and after World War II....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_hand

The scanners is just another tactic they’re using to desensitize, dehumanize, get us used to the “herd” mentality with control being the end game.

PS: Geithner is taking orders from China.

Why open borders, no checks at ports, yet we’re being treated like cattle? Marxists believe we’re subhuman! We’re nothing special. We’re all special to God who made us.

Savage!
