From the John Batchelor Show blog. Susan’s Note:I can’t state enough how important it is to read this article. ………………..^………………..^………………..^……………….. Pirate Bankers Rising. Francesco Guerrera, FT, reported to my financial roundtable on the show, Sunday 5, that the bankers are preparing to game the junk assets on their books. Here is the part of the [...]

When even MSNBC’s Obama cheerleader Rachel Maddow is reporting on Geithner’s inability to attract qualified staff — and she says that Obama confesses he can’t “give the jobs away”! — it’s truly worrisome. I hear that major business executives call and call and call, and can’t get anyone to RETURN their phone calls! This is [...]

(This is essential reading that I bumped up – Susan) Remember when George Bush and Dick Cheney could rely on the many in the media to help them euphemize that dirty word, “torture?” It wasn’t torture, it was “enhanced interrogation.” That’s like calling the amputation of a leg, “enhanced skin removal below the waist.” For [...]

With auto company bailouts highly unpopular with the citizenry, President Barack Obama, who will speak later Monday, felt compelled to shake things up. To be blunt, as Allahpundit puts it, “If you want taxpayer money, you’re going to have to do things The One’s way.” The WSJ reports that GM’s Rick Wagoner and Fritz Henderson [...]

Editor’s Note: Eat your eggs before you watch this video. South Park silences the brains of the most ponderous characters in the United States Treasury. September 15 and 16 2008 come to this. The Republic was as headless as a chicken. Is it better today? AIG is the answer.

There is NO doubt that our financial markets and financial firms will experience significant changes in regulation on a going forward basis. Turbo-Tim Geithner laid out those plans this week. President Obama is hosting the heads of the major banks at noon today to lay the groundwork for the universal acceptance of the new rules, [...]

The other day, I provided a cursory overview of the details embedded in the recently proposed Public-Private Investment Partnership, Will Banks Truly Sell these Toxic Assets? The main point I tried to highlight in that piece was the need for true price discovery for these toxic assets. A loyal reader provided tremendous insight in highlighting [...]

“She looks presidential.” No, she doesn’t. Yes, she does! Oh, honestly. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick! BESIDES: I can’t believe how the rightwing has walked right into Obama’s set-up, his favorite play with the magician’s “sleight of hand” to distract people, to keep the rightwing obsessing about brown people in Mexico causing WAR (!)

I took notice that Timmy Geithner rolled out his big regulation scheme after the horses have already left the barn and are galloping free without restraints, freed from the reins, the saddles, the crops, or the boots in their bellies. Yes, the scheme arrives after he’s created a “toxic assets” plan that’s a one-sided bet, [...]

The plutocrat pigs are at our trough again, thanks to one Timothy Geithner and one Lawrence Summers. Well, if you have seen my posts featuring interviews or columns by Princeton’s Paul Krugman, Nobel Laureate in Economics, you know Geithner’s “toxic assets plan,” announced Monday under Geithner’s, not Obama’s name, is designed to 1) Avoid any [...]

BELOW THE FOLD: Tim Geithner’s astoundingly unAmerican and patently STUPID statement today sends shockwaves around the world, and among ALL Americans who have fought for this country! Original: This is one of the HOTTEST VIDEOS out there! Enjoy (or become enraged!) … and perhaps you can think of another politician to whom such a speech [...]

Thank heavens someone is doing some investigative reporting into the whole AIG bonus thing and how it came to be (H/T to SusanUnPC for this video). Peter Barnes sheds some light on this while matter in this video:

Why the hell most of us pay our taxes. Because it seems to me that it is just the regular folks out there who are bothering to do that. Believe it or not, I am not even talking about Tax Fraud Director of the IRS, Tim Geithner, either. Are you ready for this? According to [...]
