		<description>Same background (cartel bank connections) same goals (NWO, cartel banks own everything) may have known each other for a long time; Obama was vetted by Bilderberg at a meeting at Michigan Dunes area; cartel banks paying both Obama and Romney campaigns, hedging their bets (opensecrets), surprised Obama and Romney don&#039;t just run together.

ShoreBank, Obama’s Mother and Geithner’s Father – Hmmm… Coincidences? 
Obama&#039;s mother, Stanley A. Dunham, worked for Tim Giether&#039;s Father Peter Geither at the Ford Foundation. Ford Foundation is partnered with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Peter F. Geithner, Treasury Secretary Geithner&#039;s father, worked for the Ford Foundation.

No surprise here though, really. Obama and family are highly connected to the East Coast banking crime syndicate (Rockefellers, Soros, Ford Foundation etc.). In other words, Obama and family are highly connected to (Council on Foreign Relations) CFR banking family members, or better known as the Federal Reserve conglomerate.

The fairy-tale story that Obama delivered during the Democratic National Convention (the one with the Greek columns and the fireworks) about his mother living on food stamps was most probably just another little white lie that he told to the American people. Why? Stanley Ann Dunham was professionally connected to Tim Geithner&#039;s father, Peter. Please read this excerpt from the Economic Policy Journal:

&quot;Who is Timothy Geithner?

Morgan Reynolds, who served as chief economist for the US Department of Labor during 2001–2, George W. Bush&#039;s first term, has done a little fact checking on the new Treasury Secretary: 
Who is Geithner? He is a creature of the eastern banking establishment and ruling class through and through. His résumé nicely matches his actions in handing out government money and guarantees to the &quot;right people.&quot; Geithner’s father Peter is director of the Asia program at the Ford Foundation, a New World Order operation. Peter Geithner oversaw the &quot;microfinance&quot; programs developed in Indonesia by Ann Dunham-Soetoro, Barack Obama’s mother. Geithner’s maternal grandfather, Charles F. Moore, was an adviser to President Eisenhower and vice president of Ford Motor Company, according to Wikipedia. Geithner’s wife Carole Marie, like Geithner a 1983 graduate of Dartmouth College (Ivy League), is daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sonnenfeld of Princeton, N.J., a professor of French and comparative literature at Princeton University (Ivy League) for 27 years.&quot;

Thus, Obama and Tim Geithner most probably were childhood friends. Remember Tony Rezko? Obama used Rezko to launder about $100 million of taxpayer dollars while Obama was still a State Senator. Geithner is Obama&#039;s right hand in accessing the Tony Rezkos (people like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates) of the national level for Obama and the Democrats while he&#039;s President. That&#039;s why that with all this trouble about AIG, Obama is still not going to get rid of Geithner. Geithner is a valuable tool for them to rob this country through its national policies.

Peter Geithner (Tim&#039;s Father) was director of the Asia program at the Ford Foundation, a New World Order (NWO) operation. Peter Geithner oversaw the &quot;microfinance&quot; programs developed in Indonesia by Ann Dunham-Soetoro, Barack Obama’s mother. 
Note: As many of you may already know, the Clintons also have strong ties to the Indonesia Microfinance program. They have been to Indonesia several times to &quot;take care of their business&quot;. It is the hub of the New World Order micro-finance scheme. The same scheme that was adopted by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to trigger the collapse of the housing market. It was first instantiated by Carter (a NWO puppet), and then made increasingly effective by Clinton (another NWO puppet) by removing almost all restrictions. The Ford Foundation are partners with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Did you know that when Son of Stanley was going to school in Los Angeles, he went with a Pakistani friend to visit his mother in Indonesia, who was working for Peter Geithner at that time. After this, he spent a couple weeks in Pakistan, before he abruptly transferred to Columbia in New York where Peter Geithner was headquartered.

A little more about Peter Geithner and his ties to known NWO operations:  Peter F. Geithner is an advisor to the Asia Center at Harvard University and a consultant to the Asia Pacific Philanthropy Consortium, Rockefeller Foundation, Sasakawa Peace Foundation, and other organizations. He serves on the boards of the National Committee on United States-China Relations, the China Center for Economic Research (Peking University), the Center for the Advanced Study of India (University of Pennsylvania), Clemente (Holdings) Asia, Inc., and the Institute of Current World Affairs.

Peter Geithner&#039;s obviously rather unconventional style, gives him a lot in common with Stanley Ann, considered to be a pioneer in the field of anthropological microfinance for underprivileged Asian women. Though from far different backgrounds, both parents afforded their sons with globe-trotting, exotic childhoods, culminating in Peter’s Son playing Robin to Stanley Ann’s OBatMan. Small world, huh?

According to The Atlantic, young Timmy Giethner&#039;s experiences at Dear Old Dad’s knee in Asia, even in China during the Tiananmen Square uprising, greatly influenced his life choices: 
&quot;First, his Asia background. Geithner’s father, Peter Geithner, was a development specialist who opened the Ford Foundation’s China office - the first foreign NGO here, under a special agreement that continues to this day. That was just before Tiananmen Square, and the father was part of the Foundation’s difficult but, ultimately, undoubtedly correct decision to remain engaged. Tim apparently also studied Chinese, was posted in Tokyo for Treasury, and focused on Asia studies as undergraduate and graduate student. This is all great background for Treasury’s international dealings in the coming years.&quot; 
Now you can see why China is lending us all this money for Socialist/Marxist agendas? China knows that if the US is to become Socialist/Marxist, our country will no longer lead the world in innovation and technology. China has their own plans for world &quot;hemogany&quot;. In fact, Chinese leaders know that Communism doesn&#039;t work, and this is why they have adopted a simulation model of Western government through their &quot;Strategic Moderization Objective&quot;.

There is also a solid link between the Islamic Banking Cooperative, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, The Ford Foundation, Devron Bank of Chicago and the Bank of Indonesia (Stanley A. Dunham was a research coordinator at this bank and a program officer for the Ford Foundation).

Devron began selling Islamic home refinancing products for Muslims to Freddie Mac (see below).

CHICAGOLAND, ILLINOIS – Devon Bank today announced it would begin selling its Islamic home financing products to Freddie Mac, effectively expanding opportunities for Muslims living in Illinois and nine other states to become homeowners while observing traditional Islamic restrictions on paying interest on mortgages and other types of debt. Based in McLean, Va., Freddie Mac is one of the nation&#039;s largest investors in mortgages and Islamic home financing products.





ShoreBank Wins Friends on Wall Street, Critics in Washington


ShoreBank Corp., a small Chicago-based bank whose motto is “Let’s change the world,” today reportedly raised $150 million from a group of large financial services firms including Goldman Sachs Group (GS),GECapital and Citigroup (C), according to the Financial Times.

Some Republicans in Congress are questioning whether politics played a role in the decision of such large firms to assist such a small bank based on the South Side of Chicago.

Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein played a “personal role” in arranging the rescue, the FT says. A source familiar with the matter tells DailyFinance that Blankfein did “make some calls,” but added that the New York-based bank felt no White House pressure to do so.

Facing Political Pressure? 

Charlie Gaspirinoof Fox Business News is reporting that ShoreBank has ties to the Obama administration because Valerie Jarrett, President Obama’s senior adviser, served on the board of Chicago Metropolis 2020, a civic organization run by Adele Simmons, a director at ShoreBank. He also reported that “several executives at Wall Street firms say they are facing some political pressure to bail out the bank from Washington.”

Bloomberg News reported that former ShoreBank executive Robert Weissbourd served on the president-elect’s transition team.

Goldman, which denies Securities and Exchange Commission civil fraud charges that it duped investors into buying mortgage-backed securities that were secretly designed to fail, declined to comment. The investment bank invested $20 million in ShoreBank, a person familiar with the matter says.

ShoreBank, whose work in lending to low-income communities has been praised by President Obama, declined to comment. “We have nothing to say at this point,” bank spokesman Brian Berg says.

Referred to Bank Regulators 
The White House denies ShoreBank got any improper help. 
“White House officials have not met with ShoreBank regarding support measures for their bank, nor has the White House ‘made asks’ of financial assistance to other financial institutions for ShoreBank,” Amy Brundage, a White House spokeswoman, tells DailyFinance. “Questions that come to the White House from institutions regarding the CDFI [Community Development Financial Institution] program are referred to the Treasury Department or to their bank regulator, who are the ones that decide these matters.”

Rep. Spencer Bachus, (R-AL), the ranking member on the House Financial Services Committee, is outraged and is demanding an investigation by Neil Barofsky, the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. He is also demanding relevant documents from the White House including any involving Blankfein.

“In a year in which hundreds of banks are expected to fail, it is good news that this troubled institution has managed to survive,” Bachus and Rep. Judy Biggert (R-IL) wrote yesterday in a letter to Obama. “The question that many are asking, however, is why did government-supported Wall Street institutions decide to save ShoreBank rather than numerous others that faced a capital shortage.”

ShoreBank, which says it has $2 billion in assets,serves Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland, with a mission to invest “in people and their communities to create economic equity and a healthy environment,”according to its website. Several media reports say that the bank needs to raise as much as $300 million.

		<description>Mr. Ames,

If you ever wonder why Middle Americans don&#039;t rise up against the current corporate elite, this article is a good idea of why.  Despite being strongly opposed to the current economic paradigm, you remain deeply wedded to the current ideological paradigm of anti-racism, feminism, and other liberal delusions.

In your vision, we&#039;re supposed to rid ourselves of the existing corporate oligarchy, yet retain the cultural Marxism.

Thanks, but no thanks.  I&#039;d rather see the nation plunged into absolute ruin first so that we can rid ourselves of liberalism in toto.  Perhaps then we can not only establish a sane economy that rewards workers, but patriarchy, white supremacy, and civilization.</description>

		<description>Another  terrific commentary by Mark Ames. 
 I&#039;ve found in  reading on wars, military &amp; historical leaders,  and movements, that if you want to take a shortcut to understanding the forces behind a given war or movement, look at the pyschology that develops in the young men who go on to become the leaders of those forces.  
 e.g. Kaiser Willhelm II, OVERCOMPENSATING for his deformed arm (his insecurity over his deformity led to overcompensation, i.e. bullheaded and dictatorial, a maniacal obsession on militarist prowness) led to (contributed to) the mass carnage of WWII.  
 This Ames biopic gives a dark insight into both Obama&#039;s and Geithner&#039;s Dinesh D&#039;Souza-esque flirtation with evil, currying favor from those who would otherwise deny you access.  
    There is no &quot;Third Way&quot; as disgraced former British Prime Minister Tony Blair tried to have it:  there is a straight line continuum,  dictatorial Right, and democratic, egalitarian &quot;left.&quot;  Sometimes  those who proclaim &quot;liberal&quot; goals exercise right-wing DICTATORIAL powers (Stalin style &quot;Communism&quot; being an example), and sometimes what is &quot;liberal&quot; and reformist to one group, harms the privileges and powers of another, eg when one race group &quot;rescues&quot; their brethren who are a minority elsewhere, as when Hitler &quot;liberated&quot; Sudatenland &amp; Austrian Germans,  or when Milosovic attempted to  &quot;empower&quot; Serbs who were minorities in Croat and Kosovar regions.  
   But Clinton, Obama, and most &quot;Democrats&quot; today try to have their cake and eat it too... PRETEND that they are &quot;liberal&quot; and &quot;Democratic,&quot; while actually HELPING the establishment Right-Wing CHIP AWAY at a century of hard-fought &quot;liberal,&quot; progressive, democratic progress. 
 IF you are not ACTIVELY TRYING TO RESTRAIN the power of the wealthy, establishment, radical Right-Wing, then you are EMPOWERING them, either actively (eg Clinton passing Phil Gramm&#039;s GLBA &amp; CMFA finanical &quot;Deregulation&quot; atrocities in 1999 &amp; 2000),  or passively with your silence.  
  @ #5, I don&#039;t miss the whore stories a bit... I got a delicous reptilian shudder of revulsion up my spine, just trying NOT to think about that Larry Summers and Laura Ingraham date!  (OK, Summers probably wasn&#039;t quite as Jabba the Hut grotesque back then.)</description>

    There is no &#8220;Third Way&#8221; as disgraced former British Prime Minister Tony Blair tried to have it:  there is a straight line continuum,  dictatorial Right, and democratic, egalitarian &#8220;left.&#8221;  Sometimes  those who proclaim &#8220;liberal&#8221; goals exercise right-wing DICTATORIAL powers (Stalin style &#8220;Communism&#8221; being an example), and sometimes what is &#8220;liberal&#8221; and reformist to one group, harms the privileges and powers of another, eg when one race group &#8220;rescues&#8221; their brethren who are a minority elsewhere, as when Hitler &#8220;liberated&#8221; Sudatenland &amp; Austrian Germans,  or when Milosovic attempted to  &#8220;empower&#8221; Serbs who were minorities in Croat and Kosovar regions.<br />
   But Clinton, Obama, and most &#8220;Democrats&#8221; today try to have their cake and eat it too&#8230; PRETEND that they are &#8220;liberal&#8221; and &#8220;Democratic,&#8221; while actually HELPING the establishment Right-Wing CHIP AWAY at a century of hard-fought &#8220;liberal,&#8221; progressive, democratic progress.<br />
 IF you are not ACTIVELY TRYING TO RESTRAIN the power of the wealthy, establishment, radical Right-Wing, then you are EMPOWERING them, either actively (eg Clinton passing Phil Gramm&#8217;s GLBA &amp; CMFA finanical &#8220;Deregulation&#8221; atrocities in 1999 &amp; 2000),  or passively with your silence.<br />
  @ #5, I don&#8217;t miss the whore stories a bit&#8230; I got a delicous reptilian shudder of revulsion up my spine, just trying NOT to think about that Larry Summers and Laura Ingraham date!  (OK, Summers probably wasn&#8217;t quite as Jabba the Hut grotesque back then.)</p>

		<description>I think the mistake runs deeper in this article by granting Obama the power to appoint Geithner. None of the key people except for Rahm was actually appointed beyond the formalities.
CIA, FBI, Military: Bush&#039;s
State Department: Clinton&#039;s
Treasury+Fed: G&amp;S; JPM.

Obama, the most inconsequential president ever.</description>

		<description>Shocking the Obama isn&#039;t all the hope and change he pretended to be, as exemplified by his coziness with Wall St. pricks. 

Anyway, you slam D&#039;Souza, but you&#039;ve wildly mischaracterized his anti-affirmative action stance.  I listened to him speak at my college.  He&#039;s premise was that favorable admissions based solely on race was dumb.  You should look at a person&#039;s level of achievment compared to his economic background.  (All you neo-commies should love that shit, using economics as a basis for measuring social something or other!)  He gave an example of using favorable admissions to admit a black student who scored 1000 on the SAT (old scoring) and was from a background of poverty or low-income over a white kid from a posh background who scored an 1100. He reason was that it took more effort and ethic for a poor black kid to achieve that score than for some pampered white kid to underperform compared to his peers.  He went on to say a similar metric should be used for people of any color, and that economic disadvantage, not skin color was what favorable admissions should really pay attention to.</description>

		<description>I think the article misses the obvious: 

Geitner is there as the artificial flavour enhancer for Obama&#039;s team. With all the dirt swirling around Geitner, his scummy deals, his crooked friends, e.t.c., Obama comes off purty perfeckt.

All Obama needs to do &quot;later&quot; is to pin it all on Geitner and pass himself off even more squeky-cleaner &quot;the defender of the Working American&quot; or whatever and win another term. It will work, just wait.</description>

		<description>&quot;Not because Obama wasn’t qualified, but because affirmative action made it harder for the entrenched white elite to keep all the slots to themselves.&quot;

You&#039;ve got that ass backward.  The &quot;entrenched white elite&quot; loves affirmative action because it keeps out the one group they despise the most: working class white males.</description>

		<description>Am I reading this article right? Geithner and Obama are corporate plundering conspirators because back in university they both called for reason and debate in place of violent lynch mobs?

I can&#039;t wait for the follow up article on how Martin Luther King was a secret sleeper agent for the Masons because of his message of non-violence.</description>

		<description>Look, while I agree that Barack has completely betrayed the misplaced hope that dupes like me put into him back in &#039;08, the logic you use in this article is pretty fucking flimsy. &quot;Yeah, Obama&#039;s election was manipulated from the wings by EVIL BANKERS, and we know this because both he &amp; Geithner are assholes of a similar breed.&quot; Which breed is the exact opposite kind of asshole of &quot;maverick&quot; John McCain, so I suppose if he had one you&#039;d be arguing that OBVIOUSLY the economic crisis was set up by evil merchant bankers to put a fascist wartime economy in place. These are two very different plans, the &quot;getaway heist&quot; one and the &quot;military dictatorship&quot; one, and it&#039;s hard  to reconcile the two.</description>

		<description>jonny.m, you need to step a little further away to get the big picture (which extends in yet another picture concerning hyperdimensional reality, but let&#039;s stay for now with this one.) 
Communism was hand steered from Wall Street from day one. It was not the revolt of the poor, but a power grab of the selected few.

&quot;Communism or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite.&quot; - Garry Alan
http://www.peoplesbankparty.org/creation_of_money.htm

&quot;If one understand that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs.&quot;
http://www.survivalbookshop.com/why-the-super-rich-support-socialist-dictatorships

And you can be part of the structure for decades, until the manipulation begins to emerge in plain view.
School of Darkness by Bella V. Dodd, Ex-Communist
http://genus.cogia.net/ 
She describes, how they were instructed to get instructions from wealthy bankers located in the Waldorf towers, when Moscow was not reachable. The Soviet Union was a hand steered Wall Street scam. Alone the circumstances before, while and after the 1917 revolution making you wonder what was there going on. The russian one party has got the name &quot;communist&quot; after the suggestion from the US.</description>

		<description>The best thing for Capitalists in the US is that, Americans can&#039;t tell the difference between Capitalism and Free Trade. Free Trade is, the mom&#039;n&#039;pop grocery store, or ISP, or shoe store/shoe maker. etc. It&#039;s someone like me, or you, making a goofy (or not goofy) musical instrument or bike part or something, and selling it for what the market will bear. I made it through last year peddling crafts that I decided had to cost me less than a dime to make, and telling people to give me what they think it&#039;s worth, had to average over a dollar. If I could make something for a dime and sell it for thousands of dollars that&#039;d work too, that&#039;s not unfair, the price is determined as a free contract between the buyer and seller. For most products, it equilibrates at a fair and reasonable price. That&#039;s free trade. It tends to be rather agile, for instance, I was making almost $1000 a month during the summer, now I&#039;ve had to resign myself to making well, nothing, for the 4 winter months. So what, I tighten my belt. I eat simpler, I get along. This year may be better or worse than last; next winter may be a great one because I come up with something to do that I can do in winter.

Capitalism means, you have things like corporations, which have the rights of persons but never die, you have stock and a whole class of people who do nothing but trade in stock, and this means you have to have economic growth, no matter what. The stockholders have to have their profits, no matter what. It fits perfectly with a fiat, debt-as-money system like we&#039;ve had since 1913. You have to get people into debt, you have to have &#039;em working their asses off to pay for the new house and new car. You have to outlaw owner-built houses and cabins and simple dwellings, you have to make roads etc set up so riding a bicycle is highly dangerous, and make public transportation impractical or in most places in the US, nonexistent. You have to do this to support the capitalist class, which does not exist under simple free trade, but does, and runs the show, under capitalism. 

As a friend puts it, &quot;you push a button, you make money, people die .... then you invent a machine to push the button for you, you make MORE money, MORE people die ...&quot; 

We&#039;ve been propagandized for generations to believe capitalism == freedom and free trade and Mom&#039;s apple pie, but they are not at ALL the same.</description>

		<description>this is not a surprise. if you think barack obama was anything near the left, or even the center, you&#039;re only a baby step separated from benito mussolini. there has never been a leftist president elected in american history. the closest we ever got was eugene debs, and even he was paralyzed by the cancer that is pacifism.</description>

		<description>Good article.  BUT, I do miss the whore stories.  Could Ames replicate that Ron Jeremy inspired gonzo journalism in America?  That would be good. I am simply tired of being pissed at the establishment.  It is s much better to beat off to whore stories than to get wrapped around the axle about endless government and Wall Street shenanigans.  I do realize that this is exactly what the ruling class wants the rest of america to do, but why fight.  It is over.  What is left for us is the joys of masturbation.  Ames, you do realize that, don&#039;t you?  In a way, this is article is exactly that.  A whore story without explicit sex scenes.  The kind that would give a healthy male a boner.</description>
