The entire Federal Reserve system is a rogue element. We need to terminate it and return it’s holdings to the US.

I think it’s quite likely that bribery on a major scale played a role in the bailouts of Goldman Sachs and AIG.

You can't succeed at robbing a bank if you can't get the money out....
You can't rob the TREASURY without some way to get it out...
This is just the tip of the iceberg....

If you start referring to it as the Third Bank of the United States, it makes its (necessary) demise more comprehensible and more plausible at the same time.

These are no ordinary criminals, though. They're terrorists. They depicted a scene of economic devastation that would come about, unless their bailout was issued. If that's not terrorism, what is?

Exactly and people instead of hopping on the banks sides should look at the facts. The facts are they donated heavily to obama. The facts are Paulson hearts obama. The facts are that people have been duped into believing the banks were not at fault because they were supposedly forced to make loans to unworthy borrowers but it was the BANKS who made up these loans. If they did not exist in the first place the govt. could not have bugged them to give them to people. The Banks privatized the profits and socialized the losses unto US the Taxpayers.

Hank Paulson feared there would be a run on the dollar during the early phase of the financial crisis when global concerns were focused on the US. When the crisis escalated and went global with the failure of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, the dollar rallied – but Mr Paulson had to grapple with a firestorm of financial failures.

He feared Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley would go down along with Washington Mutual and Wachovia.

“The timing could not have been worse since we were months or weeks from the election so you had the collision of markets and politics.”

Although a Republican, Mr Paulson found it harder to deal with John McCain than Barack Obama – raising the interesting (and unanswered) question of which candidate Mr Paulson voted for.

I can believe it.

Hints have been in the air for over six months.

This is from Bloomberg, January 29:

Great post. The more attention to this the better.

Today in a speech O recommended that people turn off TV and politics. He hates being exposed.

I agree a FASCIST CARTEL and American’s have been so dumbed down they don’t realize our government created them and works in conjunction with them to screw us over.

Our government could take away the power but then obama couldn’t keep spending like he does or any of them for that matter.

Thanks. I hope Conservatives start doing more talking about this it is not as if WE the people wanted to bail them out we all called, e-mailed, etc.

People should also think about how this has affected their retirement plans, there everyday life.

Nothing but crooks and from the start I came right out and said I even had a problem with their bonus’s and the reason I did was because they were no more then Welfare Queens on a grander scale. I also knew they had donated heavily to BO and the way I looked at it was that in itself was enough to know whose side those pigs were on.

My sister had some kind of annuity set up with AIG. Projections in 2002 were that she would receive $900/mo. starting at age 65. Now the projections are $12/mo.
