Fidelity Investments holds big fundraiser for Barney Frank

Fidelity Investments holds big fundraiser for Barney Frank, raising thousands of dollars for his campaign fund. Supporting Congressman connected to financial crisis, hate crimes bill, more.

May 5, 2009 US Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is probably among the most despised members of Congress these days. As Chairman of the House Banking Committee, most people have seen his arrogant, condescending manner in various television interviews over the past several months.

Barney Frank's recent activities seem to range across the spectrum (and this is just his recent stuff):

Financial meltdown. Frank's complicity in this country's financial crisis has become legendary. This includes Frank's very public homosexual affair with Herb Moses, a high-paid executive with Fannie Mae. At the same time, Frank opposed government restrictions on risky activities by Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae which led directly to terrible consequences. (How's your 401(k) doing?)

Hate crimes. Barney Frank was a co-sponsor and major proponent of the onerous Hate Crimes bill passed by the US House last week, Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, which would punish thoughts, rather than actions, regarding sexual orientation and "gender identity" in America. The terms "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" remain undefined in the legislation.

Transgender agenda. Rep. Frank recently got a step up on the hate crimes bill (protecting the employment of transsexuals) by hiring a woman with a hormone-induced beard and mustache who dresses as a man to serve on his Washington staff in the US Capitol. (See MassResistance blog report.)

Homosexual programs in schools. This past weekend Barney Frank came to Boston to raise money for PFLAG, a homosexual activist group that targets kids in the public schools, and puts on various homosexual, bisexual, and transgender events for kids and adults, many extremely radical.

Well, it turns out that not everyone is upset with ol' Barney. Boston-based Fidelity Investments wants to make sure that Frank wins his next election. So a few weeks ago they "reached out" to him and threw a fund-raiser for Frank at their downtown Boston offices, netting $28,000 for Frank's campaign fund, which was reported in the Boston Herald last week, in the article below.

In our eyes, this represents the rock-bottom worst of politics and big business. Is there no such thing as morals and principles? Is there no end to selling out? What about Barney Frank's Republican opponent, Earl Sholley, who has announced he will challenge him again next year? If you have any investments with this company, this ought to tell you something.

Fidelity banks on Barney Frank Honchos host fund-raiser for finance panel's chief By Jay Fitzgerald, Boston Herald Thursday, April 23, 2009

Fidelity chairman Edward "Ned" Johnson wasn't kidding when he recently said his firm was beefing up its clout within Washington circles at a time of expected regulatory changes for the financial sector.

Boston-based Fidelity last month hosted a fund-raiser for U.S. Rep. Barney Frank at its downtown offices, and company executives dished out $28,000 in individual donations to the powerful chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.

Among executives who gave money to Frank were Abby Johnson, Ned's daughter, and Rodger Lawson, president of Fidelity. Both gave Frank $2,400 each, federal records show.

In all, about 27 Fidelity workers donated to Frank's campaign during the first quarter. Their donations accounted for about two-thirds of all the individual donations Frank received during the three-month period.

But Frank, a Newton Democrat expected to play a major role in drafting new financial regulations, also received $2,500 last month from Fidelity's political action committee, records show.

Fund-raising "doesn't influence" the congressman, said a spokesman, while adding that Frank appreciates Fidelity's support.

"The fact they (Fidelity executives) reached out is welcome," said Frank spokesman Jim Segel.

A Fidelity spokesman said it's not uncommon for Fidelity employees to get involved in public affairs.

"We feel it's important to communicate with public officials about the importance of a strong economy and financial-services industry," said spokesman Vin Loporchio.

But Jim Lowell, editor of the independent Fidelity Investor newsletter, said he's never heard of Fidelity backing Frank or other lawmakers to such an extent.

Still, Lowell he said he's not surprised by Fidelity's fund-raiser for Frank, considering that Ned Johnson earlier this year vowed in an annual report to strengthen Fidelity's government and public-affairs unit amid increasing calls for more financial regulations.

Fidelity's political action committee has contributed to Frank and other lawmakers in past years.

But the Washington Independent, the online arm of the Center for Independent Media, recently reported that individual Fidelity employees had given Frank only $3,750 over the previous two decades - until last month's fund-raiser.

Lowell said Frank, an old-fashioned liberal, and Johnson, a conservative who recently ridiculed "make work" government programs, make for "interesting" allies.

When we called the Fidelity executive offices to ask about this, they were pretty snippy about it. The person we talked to said she knew what we were asking about, but they will not comment on anything about Fidelity that appeared in the newspaper -- though she said we are free to look up the corporate political filings for ourselves. We asked if they were worried about losing business. She didn't seem too concerned about that.

This is important because it points to something much bigger.

Carlos Slim, Mexican tycoon, owns NY Times. He supported Obama, opposes border security, and support drug legalization just like Soros, despite the fact that over 40k innocent civilians have died at the hands of cartels. Many in Mexico know Carlos Slim is dirty, while average Mexicans became poorer, Slim became wealthier, with monopoly government Telecom contracts. The criminal cartels extorted anyone with money, but Slim was always untouchable. Rockefeller's assets are practically untraceable, so are Carlos Slim's. Airlines and Airports he financed are notorious drug routes.

Fidelity Owns TIME Magazine, which helps explain why the media embraced the fact that Obama's biggest individual donor is a convicted felon in EU, who is known as the "Scourge of Asia" in Asia, known as the "Man who broke the Bank of England" in for money manipulation in Britain, and s rumored to have a warrant out for his arrest in Russia, all because his crony capitalism has its infamous tentacles across the globe. Soros, a simple man with a simple goal: world without borders, ruled by Soros. http://macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/16832/2/

Carlos Slim, Mexican billionaire, NY Times owner, Univision US Latin Television owner, and Obama supporter "making millions from American government program that gives poor free cell phones" By October 2012 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2215966/Mexican-billionaire-making-millions-American-government-program-gives-poor-free-cell-phones.html

Rumors of Slim and drugs are rampant in Mexico, few dare to say this. http://www.madcowprod.com/02032009.html

"Slim and his family are the largest shareholders, after members of the company's founding family, in what's arguably the most influential news organization in the United States." Slims reputation for corruption is also well known in Mexico, and even the US media wonders why Slim has never been questioned for his profits from government concession monopolies that hurt mostly the poor. http://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2013/03/12/for_155m_did_carlos_slim_buy_silence_from_the_times_100195.html

Every legitimate business in Mexico has been a victim of criminal extortion, many have been driven out of the country, and despite the fact the it is estimated that at least 45,000 Mexicans have died from the drug cartels, Carlos Slim, advocates "drug legalization". Despite recessions Slim's wealth increases. Neither major trafficking, or selective success, happens in Mexico without corruption.

Few media had the courage to question dubious alliances of US media purchased by questionable clients. http://seattletimes.com/html/editorialsopinion/2008673366_editb27slim.html

The date of this article is in the headline. It was posted as 2009 date. I assume people know that the article date is posted in the headline -sorry. i’m simply trying to look at the big picture here.

JFK gave a dire warning to the press in April 27, 1961. Again the date was 1961.

“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence—on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.”

Fidelity is the largest institutional shareholder of Time Magazine. If Fidelity is a privately run financial institution, then it’s safe to say that Abigail Johnson, has influence in Time. The same applies to Carlos Slim and the NY Times.

(Click on any link of your choosing to see who the largest shareholders of Time and any other major media outlets are.)

So given that this privately help company has almost $5 TRILLION in assets, it is very important to see what they are doing. Given that they have so much money, it is almost impossible. I think we really need to pay attention to what is going on with these Banksters.

Soros is peanuts compared to these people, and it is likely that Soros is working for someone(s). My guess is Rockefeller, but the reality is, they are all working together. Rockefeller is Outed as a Soros Ally in the Drug Legalization Scheme in Latin America “Illuminati Billionaires Love Marxists & Marijuana”. It is a confirmed fact the Latin Americas first president to officially legalize drugs, met with Rockefeller and Soros in 2013 to have his drug distributions plans “blessed” by them. It was reported in Uruguay’s spanish speaking press.

The article is key because it points to who these elitists are supporting, and how the lowest forms of life get elected. It points to collusion among the rich and powerfull at least from my perspective.

Given that the media is in the hands of few people, and that Wall Street has given Obama more than any other president in history, it is a reminder of who is pulling the strings and the level of deception that is possible.

Few people know of Carlos Slim’s involvment with NY Times, and the reality is that few people know who these people are and what they own. Carlos Slim has holdings in Airlines, Banks, and Airports. I have no doubt he is a part of the drug trafficking cartels around the world. Think about the fact that EVERY major Wall Street Bank has been caught laundering drug money. The weren’t caught by the SEC, they were caught by private law suits, or private whistle blowers. They act with impunity.

‘The extent of the Rothschild-Rockefeller relationship has been shrouded in ignorance, mystery, obfuscation and confusion displaying both the intellectual cowardice of esteemed academic researchers and biographers and the imbalanced ideology of those who conclude conspiracy without a presentation of actual facts and proper interpretations.’

David Rockefeller’s own words show that he has a God Complex in my opinion. I find his disdain for humanity chilling.
