Don’t forget to hold responsible the spineless GOP senators who voted for this tax cheat.

Very interesting theory by James Bibbings. Thanks for posting.
Geithner is the smartest man in the room, as long as he is standing in a very small closet.
I just saved a bunch of money on my con-game by switching to Geithner. /commercial sarcasm
“...Another odd point on this is that Geithner became Under Secretary to Rubin during Clinton’s first term, Geithner is now 47 years old. How old would that have made him when he was appointed? Potentially 25?...”
This doesn’t help the author’s resume as a commodities trader. Don’t you have to be “good with numbers”?

We were told a month or two ago that this was the ONLY man on earth that was capable to do the job and they he was the ONLY person that understood the bailout. What a frickin’ joke Washington DC has become in recent years. Disgusting.
The author of the article said...
So without further delay, after doing my research, I believe that Timothy Geithner may have been placed into the Treasury position, namely by forces within Citigroup (and potentially other large US banks), non-us based sovereign wealth funds, and their collective influence over the political system rather than on his actual qualifications. I believe that this is possible based on the information that I will lay out for you in the following paragraphs. Each of these groups could have potentially needed Geithner in power because they all would have wanted to ensure federal bailout funds continue to flow into their banks in order to ensure they were not left to collapse or be nationalized.
This would make it appear that Obama is a *very weak President* and not really a strong President with definite ideas on how to carry out his goals... Of course, he’s aided and abetted by the Democrat Congress, which will make up for that huge weakness in Obama, in getting certain legislative goals accomplished...

It’s like the *Kevin Bacon* game. You can easily make the connection.

I’m not one to defend Geithner, but this article quickly descends into tinfoil hat territory, and the author seems to think that nationalization and government micromanagement of banks is a GOOD thing.
Turbo Tax Timmy’s father, Peter was a bigwig in the Ford Foundation, and President Teleprompter’s mom worked on micro-bank projects for the Ford Foundation in Indonesia and other turd-world countries.
Before this is through, we are going to need a huge reset button for the entire DC crowd, including Congress.
“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.”
Another piece of weird mystery about 0bama’s mother. There’s more to the “woman from Kansas” than meets the eye.
Obama is not about “change”, when it comes to the international financial bigwigs; in that area Obama is all about making sure they do not lose.
Don’t forget that the authors of the Federal Reserve system had one great purpose in mind - insuring a cozy relationship between politicians who raise the government debt and the bankers who want to make money lending it;
and now Obama wants to increase it exponentially!!!!
It’s not a coincidence.
Interesting.
In closing, a few weeks back I touched on Alexander Tyler's idea of how societies collapse in "History Repeats Itself."
Unfortunately, the link provided for that article goes to a USAID wiki page. So I did a Google search and although did not turn up the article by Bibbings, I did find applicable info on Tyler...
At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinborough) had this to say about “The Fall of The Athenian Republic” some 2,000 years prior:...or at least I thought I did. While profound, a further search reveals a Snopes entry which cites a 2003 article "The Truth about Tyler" which states that it was not Tyler (actually his name was Tytler) but Henning W. Prentis, Jr., the President of a cork factory that penned the words. Here is an excerpt from that article:“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”
“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
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 the words speak the truth of democratic governments; or perhaps they do not. But either way, attributing the words to a scholar who never spoke them is to lend to them an authority and reliability that they do not deserve. Anonymous quotes, which these almost certainly are, should not be given fictitious attributions merely to lend credence to the messages they impart. To do so is to favor persuasiveness over accuracy, and to sacrifice truth for the sake of image.
So...while I believe the author of this article is sincere and the "steps" may indeed be valid, it would beneficial to the author to do a little more research if they want to be viewed as credible.
Geithner should have been tossed in the vetting process for not paying his taxes. As Governor of the Fed in NY he was smart enough to know that if he earned money from an overseas assignment or if money came from the IMF from outside the country, he needed to declare it. He is simply executing President 0bama’s socialist takeover of business strategy.
Needless to say, he should be tossed and if his signature ends up on US currency, we should write in the words “TAX CHEAT” under his signature. Circulate that message.
