This just in -

OBAMA’S DOCUMENTED TIES
TO COERCIONIST
ORGANIZATIONS &amp; INDIVIDUALS

From New Zealand -

Mr. Trevor Loudon, a gentleman in New Zealand, has extensively referenced and documented Obama’s ties to coercionist organizations. As Mr. Loudon explains in a recent radio interview (see link below), he is concerned about America because ultimately New Zealand’s freedom depends upon America’s freedom.

The original message describing Mr. Loudon’s sixty-nine documents regarding Obama was sent by Mr. Richard O’Leary in the following message:

A dear friend of mine in Austrailia sent me this link to a radio broadcast
about Barack Obama’s past. We need to distribute this material to every
person we know. As you will soon learn, Obama is A VERY DANGEROUS
MAN! More dangerous than anyone knows, except a few select individuals.

http://www.worldviewradio.com:80/play.php?EpisodeID=11125

It is unbelievable that Obama was able to supress this information, but he
did, with the assistance of the American press. I’ve known Obama was a
hard core coercionist, but I had no idea that he was this evil. I take almost
everything I hear about anyone with a grain of salt, but the evidence in this
matter is irrefutable.
Please listen and sent it out. The people of America MUST KNOW THIS!!

		<description>Basil, 

In a nutshell, AIG was the definition of &quot;systemic risk.&quot; That risk implies that if AIG went down the entire financial system would go down along with them. Why? AIG wrote insurance contracts (CDS) on a variety of financial instruments that a multitude of banks own. If the insurer goes down then the insured would also go down. 

Sound like a house of cards. In so many words it is. The govt was forced to bail out AIG and the entire system at the same time. 

Hope this helps.</description>

		<description>LD, it&#039;s commendable for you to have given considerable thought to the lessons...  The public was lulled into believing that after Enron, Tyco and WorldCom that other companies&#039; executives would be on notice, lessons would be learned, and the culture of corruption eliminated.  Obviously, no lessons were learned, and instead bad practices intensified, in my estimation.  I personally have no faith in anyone as there is no integrity to be found, and no moral bearing. This is certainly turning out to be the decade of depravity. http://www.forbes.com/2002/07/25/accountingtracker.html for a list of some of the corporate scandals...</description>

		<description>Senator Barack Obama received a $101,332 bonus from American International Group in the form of political contributions according to Opensecrets.org. The two biggest Congressional recipients of bonuses from the A.I.G. are - Senators Chris Dodd and Senator Barack Obama.

The A.I.G. Financial Products affiliate of A.I.G. gave out $136,928, the most of any AIG affiliate, in the 2008 cycle.  I would note that A.I.G.’s financial products division is the unit that wrote trillions of dollars’ worth of credit-default swaps and “misjudged” the risk.</description>

		<description>Can someone please explain to me why AIG was bailed out?

I thought the bailout was for banks.

AIG is an insurance company, no?

How would AIG failing effect banks?

I don&#039;t get it.</description>

		<description>Time is running out for the keystone cops:

Amid AIG Furor, Dodd Tries to Undo Bonus Protections He Put In:

Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) on Monday night floated the idea of taxing American International Group (AIG: 0.9297, 0.1496, 19.18%) bonus recipients so the government could recoup some or all of the $450 million the company is paying to employees in its financial products unit. Within hours, the idea spread to both houses of Congress, with lawmakers proposing an AIG bonus tax.

The move represents somewhat of an about-face for the Senator.

While the Senate was constructing the $787 billion stimulus last month, Dodd added an executive-compensation restriction to the bill. That amendment provides an “exception for contractually obligated bonuses agreed on before Feb. 11, 2009” -- which exempts the very AIG bonuses Dodd and others are now seeking to tax.

		<description>Could you possibly help me understand the AIG-bank connection?

Why does an insurance company have to be bailed out?

Is it because it insures the banks and since all the banks have failed they’re expecting AIG insurance to kick in?

If there’s an AIG-bank connection why bail out both the insurance company and the banks?

I am so confused about this.</description>
