Not to foment a conspiracy theory but there are some very well connected people involved here and…isn’t The Ford Foundation one of George Soros’ little charities.

Don’t forget to hold responsible the spineless GOP senators who voted for this tax cheat.

Geithner is the smartest man in the room, as long as he is standing in a very small closet.

“...Another odd point on this is that Geithner became Under Secretary to Rubin during Clinton’s first term, Geithner is now 47 years old. How old would that have made him when he was appointed? Potentially 25?...”

This doesn’t help the author’s resume as a commodities trader. Don’t you have to be “good with numbers”?

We were told a month or two ago that this was the ONLY man on earth that was capable to do the job and they he was the ONLY person that understood the bailout. What a frickin’ joke Washington DC has become in recent years. Disgusting.

The author of the article said...


So without further delay, after doing my research, I believe that Timothy Geithner may have been placed into the Treasury position, namely by forces within Citigroup (and potentially other large US banks), non-us based sovereign wealth funds, and their collective influence over the political system rather than on his actual qualifications. I believe that this is possible based on the information that I will lay out for you in the following paragraphs. Each of these groups could have potentially needed Geithner in power because they all would have wanted to ensure federal bailout funds continue to flow into their banks in order to ensure they were not left to collapse or be nationalized.


This would make it appear that Obama is a *very weak President* and not really a strong President with definite ideas on how to carry out his goals... Of course, he’s aided and abetted by the Democrat Congress, which will make up for that huge weakness in Obama, in getting certain legislative goals accomplished...

The co-called “GOP” are spineless, STUPID (for believing the hype that turbotax tim was the Great White Hope) - or COMPLICIT in this whole sordid pile of slugs

It’s like the *Kevin Bacon* game. You can easily make the connection.

I’m not one to defend Geithner, but this article quickly descends into tinfoil hat territory, and the author seems to think that nationalization and government micromanagement of banks is a GOOD thing.

Turbo Tax Timmy’s father, Peter was a bigwig in the Ford Foundation, and President Teleprompter’s mom worked on micro-bank projects for the Ford Foundation in Indonesia and other turd-world countries.

Before this is through, we are going to need a huge reset button for the entire DC crowd, including Congress.

“Tim Geithner’s father, Peter, oversaw the Ford Foundation’s micro finance program which was implemented in Indonesia during the 1980’s. Barack Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, was involved in that same micro finance program from the Indonesian side.”

Another piece of weird mystery about 0bama’s mother. There’s more to the “woman from Kansas” than meets the eye.

I noticed that too.
