Tim Geithner's father, Peter, oversaw the Ford Foundation's micro finance program which was implemented in Indonesia during the 1980's. Barack Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, was involved in that same micro finance program from the Indonesian side. This is significant because Dunham, allegedly dealt with Geithner's father through the The United States Agency for International Development ("USAID"). I was also able to find information that stated that she met Peter in person at least one time during their efforts.
After this, years later while with the IMF, one of Tim Geithner's biggest accomplishments was to rescue Indonesia from economic collapse. I don't think it's any coincidence that of all the countries in the world that he could have assisted with, one of the few he actually worked for was Indonesia.
It is also interesting to consider how President Obama throughout his campaign portrayed his mother as being a "simple" woman. I doubt highly that a simple woman would be dealing with the Ford Foundation and the USAID to develop micro finance programs as a foreign national in Indonesia.
I am fully convinced that the United States has hit Step 8 of Tyler's collapse theory and is moving from government dependence to bondage. Assuming we are at that point the only way to get back to step one and start over again is to move away from our denial that this is not happening. Then we need to look at the facts available to us, get angry, and start working on the bargaining part before it's too late and we hit full blown Depression.
I guess it's payback in the victim class' mind.
Interesting set of circumstances.
I do think there are those who seek to destroy liberty - where we are on that path is unknown to me but we’re closer than most think and closer than I want to be.
bttt
Well, actually, Tim Geithner’s economic work in Indonesia for the IMF was very destructive. He used the wrong economic prescription, tanked the Indonesian economy for ten years, and led to the overthrow of Suharto.
Of course, getting rid of Suharto may have been pleasing to Obama and his backers, even if it caused the Indonesians considerable suffering.
Excellent post!
Tiny Tim’s history is always in the back of my mind whether he is in front of MTP or the CFR or whatever left wing org. he is representing.
Here is Tyler’s Collapse Theory:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.
Perhaps Geithner’s economic nostrums will have a similar effect on our current dictator...
the IMF was very destructive, the IMF is very destructive, and the IMF always will be very destructive. The world's despots laugh all the way to the bank with more US taxpayer's dollars every year!
There’s a reason the Treasury Secretary doesn’t have anyone working under him. I believe he is required to fill 17 seats. Without them, he becomes the Treasury “Dictator”.
It’s Tytler, not Tyler, and nobody is sure it was Tytler either! Refer to:

Amazing to me. Our nation must be destroyed to help this screwed-up alien kenyan work through his disfunctional childhood.
Geithner bacame Secretary of the Treasury, because Obama needed a completely incompetent moron who he could count on to destroy the economy so that socialism could emerge victorious.
The dumbing down of America: we’ve hit bottom.
obama schedules his speeches to interupt American Idol programming.
“They” have engineered us to where we are through TV and school systems. They know where “we” are.
That’s why we have an American Idol President who can’t even speak without his teleprompter. Everything he says is a lie, but he “looks cool” so who cares.
He hires this guy Geithner because his mommy who abandoned him liked his dad. Then he insults England to avenge his mau-mau kenyan grandpa. We all have to watch him suck up to islam in TV interviews because he was Barry Sortoro in islamic school until he was 10. He insults another Solid ally Poland because he wants to help his islamic buddies. He insults Sarcozy in France because he called Obama immature. (he prob hated when they told him that when he was little) He wants gun control, national health care and communism because he grew up sitting in the knees of communists.
We are all reliving his childhood.
Join me now in a chorus of Kumbaya as the "lights go out" in America.
He is still doing this!
Once a ‘community activist,’ always a ‘community activist.’
I’m glad you posted this. I am amazed at how little attention has been paid to the fact that leaders of the nations he “helped” have pretty much said he was a failure and his ideas made things much worse.
It’s not a good idea to “bargain” with communists.
