Geithner’s Appointment Book: Taking Orders from the International Bankers

Timothy Geithner, Treasury Secretary, always takes calls from his bankster bosses on Wall Street, according to an Associated Press report.

	Timothy Geithner is but one of several bankster operatives running the Obama administration.

“Even during his most frenzied days, when Congress is demanding answers or the president himself is calling, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner makes time to talk to a select group of powerful Wall Street bankers,” write Matt Apuzzo and Daniel Wagner. “When they call, Geithner answers. He has spoken with them immediately after hanging up with President Barack Obama and before heading up to Capitol Hill, between phone calls with senators and after talking with the Federal Reserve chairman.”

AP obtained Geithner’s appointment calendars through a FOIA request. The calendars reveal what readers of Infowars already knew — Geithner and the Treasury Department take orders from Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

Geithner is a consummate Wall Street insider. He was the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He was a Senior Fellow in the International Economics department of the Council on Foreign Relations, a member of the Group of Thirty (a Rockefeller operation), worked for Kissinger Associates, and is a member of the Trilateral Commission. Lawrence Summers was his mentor. He is a Robert Rubin protégé. Rubin, Clinton’s Treasury Secretary, was Chairman of Citigroup. Summers, also a Clinton Treasury Secretary, was Chief Economist for the World Bank and was tapped by Obama to be the director of the White House National Economic Council. Geithner also sits on the board of the Bank for International Settlements, the mega-globalist outfit that enjoys immunity from virtually all regulation, scrutiny and accountability.

“Geithner had more contacts with Citigroup than he did with Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., the lawmaker leading the effort to approve Geithner’s overhaul of the financial system. Geithner’s contacts with [Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs] alone outnumber his contacts with Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.”

But of course. Goldman Sachs is the Grand Bubble Machine of the globalists and the banksters. “Goldman Sachs has played a crucial role in creating every market bubble since the 1920s — and has profited from not only the bubbles, but from the crash that followed as well,” writes Daniel Tencer. “Goldman was central to creating are the Wall Street stock bubble in the 1920s, which led to the Great Depression; the tech-stock bubble of the late 1990s, which ended in the 2001 recession; the housing bubble of the past decade, which resulted in the current economic crisis; the oil price run-up last summer, when oil shot up to $140 a barrel, likely helping tilt the entire world into recession.”

Goldman stacked the Bush and Obama administrations with minions in order to profit from the bankster bailout. It is the motivating force behind the cap-and-trade swindle now taking form. “Goldman started pushing hard for cap-and-trade long ago, but things really ramped up last year when the firm spent $3.5 million to lobby climate issues,” writes Matt Taibbi for Rolling Stone.

The Federal Reserve, a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs and the international bankers, is the primary instrument for creating so-called bubbles and economic depressions. “Using a central bank to create alternate periods of inflation and deflation, and thus whipsawing the public for vast profits, had been worked out by the international bankers to an exact science,” writes the late Gary Allen. “Having built the Federal Reserve as a tool to consolidate and control wealth, the international bankers were now ready to make a major killing. Between 1923 and 1929, the Federal Reserve expanded (inflated) the money supply by sixty-two percent. Much of this new money was used to bid the stock market up to dizzying heights.”

“It [the depression] was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence… The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as the rulers of us all,” declared Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee in the 1930s.

But you wouldn’t know this if all you read is the Associated Press. “There is nothing inherently wrong with senior Treasury Department officials speaking regularly with industry executives, or even with the secretary keeping tabs on the market’s biggest players, even though critics say Geithner risks succumbing too much to these bankers’ self-interested worldview.”

Succumbing? Timothy Geithner is instrumental to the bankster scam. He is a key player in a long-running bankster plot specifically designed to “reign supreme over everyone, everywhere, as one whole super-national control mechanism,” as Montagu Norman of the Bank of England wrote in 1942.

Whodunit? Sneak attack on U.S. dollar

If you've been paying attention, you know the money powers have planned to collapse our currency the entire time. A 96% devaluation of the dollar since 1913 cannot happen by accident. They knew it when they created the Fed, they've been aware of it the entire time, and they present it to us as something good for us, because the average idiot has no idea what the Fed or inflation is. They think the fact that a loaf of bread cost a nickel when our grandparents were kids yet now costs three dollars is just the natural increase in prices, when, were all things to be equal, with technological developments that would increased efficiency and productivity, the price of bread should've gone down.

Meanwhile, for decades, economic profits like Ron Paul have predicted the collapse of the dollar due to Fed inflationary policies - this collapse being the inevitable and unavoidable outcome of such a policy. Again, this cannot have been an accident; they knew exactly what they were doing the entire time. The answer then becomes, not who, but why? Every economic crisis for at least the last 100 years has been engineered by the robber barons. They know how to manipulate the market, usually through manufactured confidence or fear. The panic of '07 was engineered by JP Morgan as justification for demanding a central bank - The Fed. Every boom since has been the result of the Fed's expansionary monetary policies, and every bust the result of the Fed's money contraction. They inflate the bubble, hoodwink the people into investing in it, then burst the bubble by pulling out of the market en masse, so that those on the outside lose everything, then they buy up the spoils at pennies on the dollar. They then reinvest in the market, reinflate the bubble, and the cycle continues, ad infinitum, leading, inexorably, to the here and now, when the dollar has been stretched as thin as it's going to go, so they will collapse it, along with our entire economy, so they can consolidate it under a global cashless scheme and world government. And the media continues to tell us this is the only thing that can save us. Yet every time they create a crisis, declare themselves the savior if we only give them more power and more money, the middle class only seems to be further obliterated, and the gap between rich and poor expands. Again, this was the plan the entire time.

Politico -

It’s the biggest mystery in global finance right now: Who conducted a sneak attack on the U.S. dollar this week?

It began with a thinly sourced but highly explosive report Monday in a British newspaper: Arab oil sheiks are conspiring with the Russians and Chinese to quit using the dollar to set the value of oil trades — a direct threat to the global supremacy of the greenback.

Is it true? Everyone from the head of the Saudi central bank to U.S. officials scrambled to undercut the story, but no matter.

With the U.S. economy on the ropes and America by far the world’s biggest debtor, investors aren’t feeling as secure about the dollar as they used to. And the notion of second-tier economies ganging up on Uncle Sam didn’t sound so far-fetched.

For American officials, the possibility of the dollar losing its long-term dominance in global commerce is a nightmare scenario because it would likely mean sharply higher interest rates at home and a declining ability to finance the U.S. debt. No one believes it could really happen right now, but stories like the British report this week make it seem incrementally more likely.

So the piece by Robert Fisk of the Independent shocked currency traders around the world and almost instantly sent the value of the U.S. dollar spiraling downward and the price of gold skyrocketing to an all-time high, as a hedge against a weakened dollar.

The website drudgereport.com quickly amplified the impact of the story with a headline atop the site: ARAB STATES LAUNCH SECRET MOVES WITH CHINA, RUSSIA, FRANCE TO STOP USING DOLLAR FOR OIL TRADING ...

“You read that story, and you do two things: You sell the hell out of dollars and you buy gold,” said Les Alperstein, president of the financial research firm Washington Analysis. “The story has a lot of credibility, with some caveats.”

So who wanted dollars diving and gold rising? In other words, who is Fisk’s source, and why did he or she want to tank the dollar? It’s the global currency version of the old Washington parlor game of speculating on the real identity of Deep Throat.

No one knows.

But one thing is for certain: With the price of gold jumping to $1,048.20 per ounce, traders who moved early enough stood to make millions.

So in government circles in Washington, speculation immediately centered on gold traders: With the skyrocketing price of gold, they’d be the biggest beneficiaries of the article.

Fisk’s story itself isn’t much help in solving the mystery — it is sourced vaguely to “Gulf Arab and Chinese banking sources in Hong Kong,” and it included one blind quote, attributed to “a prominent Hong Kong broker.” That doesn’t narrow down the pool very much.

Forgive them ... they know not what they do

Whoever controls the image and information of the past determines what and how future generations will think; whoever controls the information and images of the present determines how those same people will view the past. — George Orwell, 1984 (1949)

It is difficult to resist the urge to look down on those still plugged in, still asleep, and wonder why - GOD why - they don't see the indoctrination through our public schools, universities, and media, the police state build-up, the de facto eradication of Constitutional liberty, and the soft-kill attack we've been victims of for decades. But the key here is indoctrination.

If you still don't have a full grasp of what the Federal Reserve is, imagine the government gave you a printing press that printed unlimited amounts of fiat currency, and gave you a monopoly on this currency; no one else may print this currency, and only your money is accepted. Now, don't try to pretend that you're a moral person and wouldn't abuse this immense power; remember Lord Acton's maxim: power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. There are few powers more absolute than the complete control over a nation's money. Mayer Amschel Rothschild, godfather of the Rothschild banking dynasty, and pretty much the most evil family ever to live, said, "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes its laws." Consider both of those statements for a moment before continuing.

So, here you are, in control of the distribution and value of money in America; what could you do? Try not to imagine yourself a moral human being, because I assure you, if you had such power your morals would quickly fall by the wayside. Don't fool yourself. This is why the Constitution strictly forbids such an arrangement, and why it was, in a general sense, designed to limit and check the power of the Federal government. Could you buy the education system? According to a 1993 Wall Street Journal article on declining education standards in America, inflation-adjusted spending on education has increased by 225% since 1960. In 1994 the education budget was $366.21 Billion. Since then it has far more than doubled, to $869.70 Billion. In another 5 years the budget is projected to be nearly $1.2 Trillion (LINK). And yet what has happened to the state of education in America? A 2006 report from the National Centre for Public Policy and Higher Education in California states,

"On several measures, the United States no longer holds the leading position. Policies adopted in a number of countries over the past 20 years have helped to foster increased rates of completion at the high school level, improved access to higher education, and stable, if not higher rates of degree completion.

"In addition, at both the high school and higher education levels, measures of learning quality show US performance below the leading countries ... In the Czech Republic, Korea, Norway and the Slovak Republic, more than 90% of young adults (aged 20 to 24) have a high school credential. In the United States, 86% of this age group has a high school credential, and this share has not changed substantially over the past 25 years."

The United States ranks 19th in student scientific literacy, 24th in mathematical ability, 12th in reading ability, and 26th in in problem-solving ability. By all accounts, our standing in all of these categories will continue to decline. What is the inevitable conclusion here? We get the education we pay for. We are spending more and more money to produce dumber and dumber people. This is no accident - "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way," said FDR. In 1931, Bertrand Russell wrote in his book, The Scientific Outlook,

In like manner, the scientific rulers will provide one kind of education for ordinary men and women, and another for those who are to become holders of scientific power. Ordinary men and women will be expected to be docile, industrious, punctual, thoughtless, and contented. Of these qualities probably contentment will be considered the most important. In order to produce it, all the researches of psycho-analysis, behaviourism, and biochemistry will be brought into play ... All the boys and girls will learn from an early age to be what is called `co-operative,' i.e., to do exactly what everybody is doing. Initiative will be discouraged in these children, and insubordination, without being punished, will be scientifically trained out of them.

What Russell is saying here is, our children do not go to school to learn, to be educated; they go there to be transformed into mindless automatons, subservient and obedient and loyal to the state. And now Obama is proposing that, in addition to dumping more and more money into this engineered failure, which is really an astounding success when its true purpose is taken into account, the length of both the school day and the school year will be increased; apparently there is too great a percentage of the population not loyal to the State unto death, and this must be remedied.

So we know that education is a State indoctrination program, with hundreds of billions of dollars dumped into it per year, to produce dumbed-down sheeple totally loyal to the State, and to its institutions.

Take at hazard one hundred children of several educated generations and one hundred uneducated children of the people and compare them in anything you please; in strength, in agility, in mind, in the ability to acquire knowledge, even in morality — and in all respects you are startled by the vast superiority on the side of the children of the uneducated. — Leo Tolstoy, "Education and Children" (1862)

What else could you buy, having complete control over the money in America? Could you buy the media? The government's incestuous relationship with the media is well documented and far more pervasive than most Americans realize. General Electric owns NBC, CNBC, and, along with Microsoft, MSNBC. Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation owns Fox News and nearly every Fox affiliate in the entire country, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post, and dozens upon dozens of television stations, newspapers, magazines, and book publishers, here in the United States and all over the world. And, of course, CNN is owned by Ted Turner, globalist, eugenecist, and UN shill.

We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.- William Casey, former CIA Director, 1981

In the 1940's the CIA enacted a secret program called Operation Mockingbird, which, on a massive scale, put reporters on the CIA payroll to control the dissemination of information to the American public. There is little of value to be found in the mainstream news that the government doesn't have its thumb on.

The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. When you're inside, you look around, what do you see? You see businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters; the very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. - The Matrix (1998)

I seem to have gone off on quite a tangent here, but I wanted to emphasize the level of indoctrination and mind control the average America is bombarded with during his or her entire life, and believe me, what I've documented here doesn't even scratch the surface. Glaringly omitted is the mind-altering drugs and toxins we are exposed to in our water, our food, and the vaccines - and most likely our air. Just when you think you've hit the bottom of the rabbit hole, you just keep falling. For those of us who are awake, keep this in mind when dealing with those still plugged in, and forgive them, no matter what they say, no matter how harshly they reject you; they know not what they do.

It is a daunting obstacle to overcome in the fight to restore sanity and liberty to this country. Oft times I wonder if it's even worth it: do I keep fighting to wake people up, or do I just close up shop and focus solely on preparing for the apocalypse? And why should I keep sending up smoke signals that the establishment can see, so they know exactly who I am and what I'm doing, if nobody's going to take me seriously anyway? I'm sure many of you encounter similar dilemmas in your daily dealings. My advice, and what I try to do, is this: try to do both, but don't waste too much time trying to wake people up who don't want to be awakened. Time is very short; no one can say for sure exactly when the bottom will drop out from under us. Depending on who you talk to, it could be 2-5 years, or we may not make it through the winter. Anyone worth listening to, anyone not controlled, agrees on one issue: one way or the other, it's coming.

Water Wars

Unfiltered News
2009 October 1

The Federal government, influenced by the United Nations, is stealing American land and resources as Agenda 21 Sustainable Development is implemented in all states. Sustainable Development seems appealing and desirable on the surface, but it is actually a plot to erase humans entirely from 50% of American land, with a ban on extraction of resources, like water!

Dr. Michael Coffman, the creator of the Agenda 21 map, covertly obtained secret United Nations documents he used to compile the map which illustrates the resource acquisition goals of the Globalists at the UN. While Sustainable Development appears to be benign, its accompanying Global Biodiversity Assessment report states that only one billion people can be sustained in an industrial society!

Agenda 21 “biological diversity” map.

An example of this is playing out right now in California, regarding the man made drought. This situation affects every American, as California’s Central Valley supplies our country with 50% of its vegetable, fruits and nuts ( http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/, see the California Agricultural Statistical Review report). The federal Endangered Species Act, regarding the ‘threatened’ smelt minnow, is being used to severly restrict the water pump that delivers water from the Delta to the Central Valley farmlands, thus creating the drought condition. Both the federal Department of Interior and the federal Department of Commerce are claiming jurisdiction in order to control water resources.

California’s water usage is divided as follows:

48 % Environmental (federally regulated)
41 % Agricultural
11 % Urban

Interestingly, the subagencies of these two federal agencies that supplied the biological opinions are influenced by the United Nations. The UN was created in 1945, and the following year, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) was created by the UN to act as a scientific advisor. The US Fish and Wildlife Service, a subagency of the Department of Interior, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Marine Fisheries Service, subagencies of the Department of Commerce, are memebers of the IUCN, and supplied the biological opinions. There are many lawsuits disputing the validity of these opinions.

The UN’s scientific advisor, the IUCN also counts the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) as a memeber. The NRDC is the lead Plaintiff in compelling the water cut off. It is important to note that the NRDC has a budget of $87 million dollars, and is funded by the “philanthropic” Ford Foundation. You can check out their website to see the bills they are promoting for ’sustainablility’, like the Clean Water Restoration Act (S787), which could put all water under federal contol, the Law of Sea Treaty that would give the UN incredible power over American marine waterways and the Global Warming Cap and Trade bill.

Further, this is an example of the “global to local” battle combining governmental and non governmental agencies to accomplish the objectives of Agenda 21, per Sustainable Development and legal expert Michael Shaw. The IUCN has many NGO’s as members including the Sierra Club, the Nature Conservancy, the National Wildlife Federation and the National Audubon Society. Most people do want to support natural flora and fauna, but it is false environmentalism when the underlying intention is mass depopulation.

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is an abomination, according to Michael Shaw, as it opens the door for federal authority over State sovereignty. The US Constitution grants the federal government no authority over wildlife! Under the Constitution, States have jurisdiction over essentially all land. Beginning in 1900, federal officials operating under the ‘commerce clause’ enforced federal law to gain authority over certain poaching activities. The adoption of the initial Endangered Species Act was in the 1940’s and the current Endangered Species Act of 1973 is based on a United Nations model! The Department of Interior is now in charge of listing species that they deem endangered or threatened- imagine the power in that. The dubious biological opinions have caused massive resource loss and economic upheaval. For instance, just this year alone, the water restrictions on the Delta have spilled over 600,000 acre feet of usable water into the Pacific Ocean!

Another example of federal intervention, according to Mike Henry at www.farmwater.org, is the Central Valley Project Improvement Act of 1992, which reduces water delivery or export by 1.2 million acre feet of water each year! Even when California has wet years, the amount of water allowed for delivery is still reduced by 1.2 million acres of water, despite the existence of more water; the amount delivered is based on contracts, not the water level, and the excess water flows into the Pacific.

There is even more federal intervention with the CW Jones pump that was built by the federal government. The pump will be paid off by 2030, yet the federal Bureau of Reclamation under the Department of Interior will still own and maintain it. It’s time to assert the 10th Amendment.

Michael Shaw encourages people to educate themselves, their communities and their state and local governments. You can find out more at his great website that also contains free downloadable information at www.freedomadvocates.org.

G. Edward Griffin addresses the issue of psychiatry and mind-altering drugs as weapons for controlling and punishing political dissidents

G. Edward Griffin, political lecturer & author of The Creature from Jekyll Island, the critically acclaimed book about the U.S. Federal Reserve, discusses how psychiatry merges with politics to eliminate political dissenters. In China today, political dissidents, whistleblowers and government petitioners are being labeled mentally ill, incarcerated in psychiatric wards and subjected to drugs & electroshock — a tactic reminiscent of Soviet Russia. This alliance between psychiatry and police states is not limited to China, Cuba or Uzbekistan, all of which currently employ psychiatric incarceration of citizens for political protest. In the UK, a specialized unit called the Fixated Threat Assessment Centre has been granted the authority to incarcerate anyone that has given inappropriate or threatening communications to a member of government into a psychiatric ward. The assessment teams are made up of police, psychiatrists and psychologists who have been given the authority to evaluate, accuse and detain anyone considered a threat into a mental facility — indefinitely.

If you think this couldn’t happen in the U.S., think again.
