Let’s not forget ol’ Precott Bush. He was quite the wheeler-dealer in the last century.
“World War I was then raging in Europe. With the prospect that the U.S.A. would soon join the war, two Skull and Bones “Patriarchs”, Averell Harriman (class of 1913) and Percy A. Rockefeller (class of 1900), paid special attention to Prescott’s class of 1917. They wanted reliable cadres to help them play the Great Game, in the lucrative new imperial era that the war was opening up for London and New York moneycrats. Prescott Bush, by then a close friend of “Bunny” Harriman, and several other Bonesmen from their class of 1917 would later comprise the core partners in Brown Brothers Harriman, the world’s largest private investment bank.”

“Geithner is not there to serve Obama, he’s there to manage him.”
Absolutely. Barry was chosen, not only through his mother and her Coomie asociates but, by Zbigniew
Brzezinski while at Columbia U. (You can throw Soros and the elites at CFR into that group)
In a couple of years, the Mexicans and Canadians may well be asking “Who wants to trade their Pesos/CanuckBucks for US Dollars?”
I don’t like the fact they will drag us down with them.
I’m ready to go another direction.

interesting coincidence bump
During the English Civil Wars and the various Jacobite conspiracies which followed it was commonplace for families to keep at least one son prominently attached in both camps, so that, whichever way the fickle mob went, the family’s interests would be protected.
The Harriman family patronage of both the Bush and Clinton families shows this game is still played, but now the political leaders court the great families, not the other way around.
I tell you what, after the election, can’t remember where I heard it, but someone mentioned that a member of the Kennedy family went up to Obama and said “congratulations, you have been chosen as the one to pass the torch to” I do not think that was just a democrat party thing, I think it was planned for the outcome.
I knew then we had no real election, we were royally played. Interesting that they would pick a half black man to do the dirty deed. I do not believe anything happening now was unplanned.
Very interesting. Thought food.
“Interesting that they would pick a half black man to do the dirty deed.”
I think the powers that be thought the time was right for just that. They were correct.
It really sucks not be able to trust but, Hey, at least we have hope and change. ;>)
I won’t deny there is change, the hope part is out the door.
These charts scratch the surface, but you also need genealogies to see, for instance, why Karenna Gore’s marriage to Andrew Schiff virtually guaranteed that Al Gore would not fade into obscurity.
No this is the dark before that dawn. It's more like the early 1st C. B.C. - on the cusp of the reaction to all that Gracchan and Marian redistributive "socialist" politics - the rise of Sulla!
In truth, I think we're a decade away from Sulla, and a couple of generations away from Caesar.(Sulla will look a lot like Caesar - perhaps a sort of historical fore-shadowing)
I thought I'd heard the name, Schiff. Along with Col. House and Paul Warburg, responsible for the Fed Reserve.
Why hasn't anyone challenged the constitutionality of the Fed? (at least lately)
90% of the Ford family's wealth went into the Ford Foundation to avoid inheritance taxes. (But they're just fine for the middle class)
In my mind, Marius and Sulla were the thesis and antithesis of the political dialectic which, ultimately, produced Caesar.
Obama indeed could be a puppet Marius, but he would need a military force loyal to him personally to be an exact analogue.
In the background, one always need to watch the equestrian moneylenders—they more than anyone else dictated the final arrangement.
