Wall Street’s Marxist Presidential Pawn

......Wall Street wanted Geithner because he had already been deeply involved in the bailouts of the big banks and had powerful political connections to such groups as the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, the Group of Thirty, and the Council on Foreign Relations. In short, this former employee of Kissinger Associates was a Wall Street favorite. 

But how could Obama, a controversial figure with a revolutionary Marxist background, communist connections, and socialist worldview, emerge as the favorite of Wall Street interests? The short answer is that he is the perfect front man.

As noted, the American people have been conditioned to believe that the Republican Party is the party of the rich. The Democrats are supposed to be representatives of the working man. Obama has to have figured that he can serve Wall Street and socialism at the same time.

The ploy has worked before. Meticulous researcher Antony Sutton’s 1974 book, Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, documented a link between certain banking interests and the Bolshevik cause. In Obama’s case, it is the China connection that is most relevant. Goldman Sachs, his major Wall Street backer, has had an exclusive financial relationship with the Communist government of China which has benefited both China and Goldman Sachs - but not the United States.

Geithner comes out of the same mold as Henry Paulson, Bush’s Treasury Secretary. In fact, they worked together on the Wall Street bailout. Geithner is not the “change” the people voted for, but if the major media conceal the true facts, then Obama and his Wall Street backers may be able to get away with it. It is almost as brilliant a deception as the pork-laden pro-government “stimulus” bill that has been labeled the “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.”......

Criminals have each others' back.

"Antony SuttonÂ’s 1974 book, Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, documented a link between certain banking interests and the Bolshevik cause."

And

"the list of top donors to the political campaigns of Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel includes many firms at the heart of the financial meltdown―including taxpayer-funded bailout beneficiaries Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America”

Big Business, Big Unions, Big Government, Big Scumbags = Democrats.

Now remind me, what are the Republicans supposed to stand for?

Who was it who said "in America the poor are Democrats, the middle class are Republicans, and the rich are Communists"?

Asking seriously. Oddly (hah), none of the online search engines seems to have a clue.

When Fr. Charles Coughlin said on the radio in 1938 that Jacob Schiff, of Kuhn Loeb, had financed Lenin, he was smeared as an anti-Semite. The charge stuck. The Roosevelt thugocracy, Commie American bishops, the Commie labor unions in Detroit, etc., came down on Coughlin with all their might. Now, if you go to Jacob Schiff on Wikipedia, his financing of Lenin is in the first paragraph, presented as a universally-acknowledged fact.

Karenna Gore Schiff is married to a great-great grandson of Jacob Schiff. And of course, the Gore fortune started with Armand Hammer, pal of Stalin.
