Fox's Judge Andrew Napolitano sounded the alarm----he reported the 10-page document under discussion is merely an "excerpt" from a larger, more comprehensive, attack on "right-wingers." Judge Nap said any attempts by the government to "chill" the speech of the citiznery is blatantly unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment. Judge Nap said we should all be very alarmed.

Judge Napolitano also said the Obama Administration's attempts at forcing banks to exchange ownership for TARP funds or the FDIC would start a public investigation is extortion.

So, we have the Obama Administration engaging in extortion and violating the First Amendment.

Americans have not yet learned the full extent of official corruption, thievery, schemes and scams involving $BILLIONS of tax dollars aided and abetted by the dupes on Capitol Hill. Here's a sap-happy trio of greedsters, salivating to divvy up the taxpayers' billions.

Bernanke, his predecessor Paulson, and J Ezra Merkin.

GMAC Chair Merkin got a $6 billion bailout.

MERKIN'S CAYMAN ISLAND HEDGE FUND While he was GMAC chairman, J Ezra Merkin ran hedge funds as a sideline and was feeding funds into Bernie Madoff's Ponzi operation (and pocketing hundreds of $millions in fees).

Merkin's name is connected to 1) Ariel Fund, based in the Cayman Islands (an infamous money laundering haven--a partnership between Merkin and London's Fortis Bank), (2) Ascot Partners, (3) general partner of Gabriel Capital LP, a $5 billion family of hedge funds, and, (4) managing partner of Gotham Capital.

NOTE Some of Madoff’s loot was found in Gibraltar. Merkin owns a bank in Israel. All you do is fly in---go to a bank with a suitcase full of cash and nobody asks where you got it.......or if taxes were paid on it.

BACKSTORY GMAC chair J Ezra Merkin and Chrysler's Stephen A. Feinberg (owns private equity firm---Cerberus Capital Management LP). The two partnered to buy Bank Leumi from the Israeli government for $500 million.

BAILOUT SWILLERS Stephen A. Fineberg's private equity firm---Cerberus Capital Management LP--- also owns Chrysler Motors. The US Treasury bought a $5 billion stake in GMAC, and lent $1 billion to GM. This latest loan is IN ADDITION to the $13.4 billion the US Treasury lent earlier to J Ezra Merkin's GM, and Fineberg's Chrysler.

SWILLING TIMELINE In 2006, GM sold 51% of Merkin's GMAC to Feinberg's private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP (which also owns Chrysler).

HOGGING AT THE PUBLIC TROUGH In May 2004, Feinberg's "private investment group," Cerberus Capital Management, LP (Cerebrus is the three-headed dog that guards Hades), became majority owner of IAP Worldwide Services, Inc, one of the US Army’s largest contractors in Iraq. In Afghanistan, Feinberg's IAP runs a drug/addiction center" in Kunduz---Kunduz is the largest opium supplier in the world. BUSY LITTLE BEAVER IAP also provides infrastructure support for the British Ministry of Defence in Kandahar....apart from supporting the US Army in Basra.

TIMELINE On October 19, 2006, John W. Snow, Secretary of the Treasury under George H.W. Bush, was named head of Cerebrus.

BAILED OUT AND STILL SWILLING Stephen A. Feinberg's IAP also serves a broad array of federal clients including the US DOD, NASA, the US Geological Survey, the US Agency for International Development, the IRS, and a variety of other federal agencies.

FEDERAL RESERVE INFO A FACTOR? Madoff's connections to J Ezra Merkin and Stephen Fineberg's company---Cerebrus---could also mean the connivers were stealing Federal Reserve insider info. Ex-Treasury Sect John Snow headed Cerebrus. Knowing Federal Reserves moves in advance would make zillions for the thieves...........on top of the billions they were swilling elsewere. These termites were running rampant allover the US government---Merkin and Feinberg's auto companies received billions in govt bailouts.

Where's the $6B Ezra?

Can citizens file to see the larger report as part of the FOIA? I believe it’s classified...but pressure needs to be levied to expose this heinous document. This will be hidden by the MSM.
