Fidelity Investments holds big fundraiser for Barney Frank, raising thousands of dollars for his campaign fund. Supporting Congressman connected to financial crisis, hate crimes bill, more.
May 5, 2009 US Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is probably among the most despised members of Congress these days. As Chairman of the House Banking Committee, most people have seen his arrogant, condescending manner in various television interviews over the past several months.
Barney Frank's recent activities seem to range across the spectrum (and this is just his recent stuff):
Financial meltdown. Frank's complicity in this country's financial crisis has become legendary. This includes Frank's very public homosexual affair with Herb Moses, a high-paid executive with Fannie Mae. At the same time, Frank opposed government restrictions on risky activities by Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae which led directly to terrible consequences. (How's your 401(k) doing?)
Hate crimes. Barney Frank was a co-sponsor and major proponent of the onerous Hate Crimes bill passed by the US House last week, Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, which would punish thoughts, rather than actions, regarding sexual orientation and "gender identity" in America. The terms "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" remain undefined in the legislation.
Transgender agenda. Rep. Frank recently got a step up on the hate crimes bill (protecting the employment of transsexuals) by hiring a woman with a hormone-induced beard and mustache who dresses as a man to serve on his Washington staff in the US Capitol. (See MassResistance blog report.)
Homosexual programs in schools. This past weekend Barney Frank came to Boston to raise money for PFLAG, a homosexual activist group that targets kids in the public schools, and puts on various homosexual, bisexual, and transgender events for kids and adults, many extremely radical.
Well, it turns out that not everyone is upset with ol' Barney. Boston-based Fidelity Investments wants to make sure that Frank wins his next election. So a few weeks ago they "reached out" to him and threw a fund-raiser for Frank at their downtown Boston offices, netting $28,000 for Frank's campaign fund, which was reported in the Boston Herald last week, in the article below.
In our eyes, this represents the rock-bottom worst of politics and big business. Is there no such thing as morals and principles? Is there no end to selling out? What about Barney Frank's Republican opponent, Earl Sholley, who has announced he will challenge him again next year? If you have any investments with this company, this ought to tell you something.
Fidelity banks on Barney Frank Honchos host fund-raiser for finance panel's chief By Jay Fitzgerald, Boston Herald Thursday, April 23, 2009
Fidelity chairman Edward "Ned" Johnson wasn't kidding when he recently said his firm was beefing up its clout within Washington circles at a time of expected regulatory changes for the financial sector.
Boston-based Fidelity last month hosted a fund-raiser for U.S. Rep. Barney Frank at its downtown offices, and company executives dished out $28,000 in individual donations to the powerful chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.
Among executives who gave money to Frank were Abby Johnson, Ned's daughter, and Rodger Lawson, president of Fidelity. Both gave Frank $2,400 each, federal records show.
In all, about 27 Fidelity workers donated to Frank's campaign during the first quarter. Their donations accounted for about two-thirds of all the individual donations Frank received during the three-month period.
Ned Johnson himself was not listed as a donor.
But Frank, a Newton Democrat expected to play a major role in drafting new financial regulations, also received $2,500 last month from Fidelity's political action committee, records show.
Fund-raising "doesn't influence" the congressman, said a spokesman, while adding that Frank appreciates Fidelity's support.
"The fact they (Fidelity executives) reached out is welcome," said Frank spokesman Jim Segel.
A Fidelity spokesman said it's not uncommon for Fidelity employees to get involved in public affairs.
"We feel it's important to communicate with public officials about the importance of a strong economy and financial-services industry," said spokesman Vin Loporchio.
But Jim Lowell, editor of the independent Fidelity Investor newsletter, said he's never heard of Fidelity backing Frank or other lawmakers to such an extent.
Still, Lowell he said he's not surprised by Fidelity's fund-raiser for Frank, considering that Ned Johnson earlier this year vowed in an annual report to strengthen Fidelity's government and public-affairs unit amid increasing calls for more financial regulations.
Fidelity's political action committee has contributed to Frank and other lawmakers in past years.
But the Washington Independent, the online arm of the Center for Independent Media, recently reported that individual Fidelity employees had given Frank only $3,750 over the previous two decades - until last month's fund-raiser.
Lowell said Frank, an old-fashioned liberal, and Johnson, a conservative who recently ridiculed "make work" government programs, make for "interesting" allies.
Article on Herald website
When we called the Fidelity executive offices to ask about this, they were pretty snippy about it. The person we talked to said she knew what we were asking about, but they will not comment on anything about Fidelity that appeared in the newspaper -- though she said we are free to look up the corporate political filings for ourselves. We asked if they were worried about losing business. She didn't seem too concerned about that.
One hand washes the other. US Rep. Barney Frank (left) and Fidelity Investments chairman Ned Johnson (right)
My guess is that he promised lots of goodies--all "free," a mere gift of The Benefactor State's largesse--and low-information voters (as regarding whom, there is no paucity) were very congenial to the idea of their receiving lots of freebies.
I guess the original story appeared in 2009 - but Good God! What were they thinking? Fidelity Investments was helping a radical vile hate-filled leftist destroy the financial system.
This is why the Republican party has such a problem with Carl Rove, and other RINO's. They are beholden to the bankers. Every Wall Street bank is doing major money laundering. The Godless bankers don't like "religion".
The are 6 corporations that present all the media in the US. A company such as Fidelity with $5 Trillion in assets, can decide what the talking points are. Obama is still offering goodies such as cell phones from Carlos Slim. In 2012 there was rampant voter fraud, and I have no doubt that voter fraud is why Obama won.
I agree Washingtonsource, I can't believe FIdelity would do this. Then again, if nothing gets reported, it didnt happen.
Wikiquote lists it as disputed.
It does, however, list another quote from David Rockefeller; this one as being (apparently) undisputedly authentic:
"I don't recall that I have said--and I don't think that I really feel--that we need a world government. We need governments of the world that work together and collaborate. But, I can't imagine that there would be any likelihood--or even that it would be desirable--to have a single government elected by the people of the world."
Admittedly, this is not a very strong renunciation of globalism. And David Rockefeller is surely a member of the "Rockefeller wing" of the Republican party (predictably enough), or what would now be termed "RINOs."
Still, I would want to be absolutely sure that he uttered these odious words, before attributing them unequivocally to him.
It should be painfully obvious to everyone that nothing is what it seems.
This is David Rockefeller

Mujica was rumored to have been a professional waiter in the US for most of his life. That would otherwise be honorable and admirable except he is a liar, crook, and only someone else's money could have bought that position. He is as popular as Obama. Only liked in the media.
Big enough for me to move my modest investment out of Fidelity.
I don’t see how an institution that has almost 6 MILLION shares in a company wouldn’t be considered an owner? You can’t deny that person would have influence, right?
I read that Schumer in NY, announced problems in California’s IndyMac Bank, causing a major bank run around 2008. The bank collasped into Soros arms. Selling off any large portion of shares of a relatively new stock such as Time, would sound alarm bells across the globe. It has 85% institutional ownership.
Let’s say 2 or 3 of these large private institutional shareholders got together, they could make or break any corporation. There is no way you can tell me they don’t have direct influence.
There are 6 corporations that own 95% of the media in the US. They collude and collaborate. The deception we are living in is ridiculous, and that is why.

I looked into two of the companies that and their managers either were former Rothschild employees or the companies received money from them. The Rothschild’s are assumed to be the richest family in the world. They have been around for centuries and have played a major role in banking if not the largest around the world.
Quoting their own websites.
#1 Vanguard: John James, Vanguard Managing Director- was a senior executive with Rothschild Australia Asset Management.

This leads me to believe that those groups are Rothschild front groups.
These also hold have the same top 10 shareholders.

The Drug Story by Morris Bealle - facsinating
"A Factological History Of America's $10,000,000,000 (in 1949) Drug Cartel Its Methods, Operations, Hidden Owner-Ship, Profits And Terrific Impact On The Health Of The American People."
A few years ago I tried to research the makers of some of these Pharmaceutical companies producing addictive opiate based drugs. I found another labyrinth of shell companies, holding co., names changes, etc. Many were privately owned co., with million is sales, and 4 employees. I believe the Bealle book 100%!!!
Heroin is absolutely legal in this country in Rx form. It causes deadly addiction even when used as prescribed. There is a huge black market, and criminals such as the Russian mafia have a monopoly on the black market in the NE.
The media refuses to report the epidemic abuse that has resulted in opiates surpassing car accidents and alcohol, in accidental deaths. Something is deadly wrong in this country right now.
Folks who understand the financial world and investment institutions will give your theories the attention they deserve.
Which means......you by the stocks of companies that are the very best investments. By purchasing large blocks of the noted stocks the various finds certainly indicate they believe in the financial strength of the best companies the world has to offer.
You add 4+4 and get 2.7
Even better, he adds 4+4 and gets π (pi, an irrational number!)
You have posted nothing of value. There is absolutely nothing there that shows any connection with TimeWarner, the actual owner of Time Magazine.
Rather than show who owns Yahoo!, show who owns Time Magazine.
I don’t think “ownership” means what you think it means.
You have a lot of links and information, but your comments about Fidelity controlling Time Magazine are patently ridiculous and, frankly, false or a purposeful lie.
Time Magazine was just spun off from TimeWarner. It doesn’t even appear Fidelity had any controlling interest in that company, either.
You are sounding like you come from “Kookville.”
