Timothy F. Giethner - New Treasury Secretary

Why should the CFR have to be pidgeon holed as a perpetual conspiracy theory?

It's a REAL group, with REAL people. Most of government is saturated with members of the CFR, and we've had nary a president who wasn't a member. Most of the prominent members of congress are CFR members, and most of the behind the scenes advisors and overall policy-makers are as well. They have an agenda, and when you consider that each administration takes influence from that same group, you have to wonder how things will ever actually CHANGE.

At some point, you have to be willing to start holding them accountable. There must be a reason why they are so influential, and so powerful, and have so much representation all throughout government, but yet, get no media coverage.

exactly!

When you own the media you can do shit like that. We've been triangulated.

The Bailout Surge
by Congressman Ron Paul

This week the bailout of the Big Three automakers was under heavy consideration in Congress’s lame duck session. I have always opposed government bailouts of private organizations. Back in 1979 Congress had hearings about bailing out Chrysler and I was on record pointing out that these types of policies are foolish and very damaging to the long term economic health of our country. They still are.

Yeah, let's just automatically assume the market only responded to the Geithner pick that day.

The DOW hasn't been jumping around back and forth by the multiple 100's each day for the past couple months or anything

But hey, that's what the media told us was the reason, so let's all believe it!

Soooo...when WAS the last time you had a really good BM? It could make a world of difference, you know?

If that was supposed to be funny, much less make any sense at all, you failed.
