I’ve been glued to my laptop for hours today watching the congressional hearings on the $85 billion AIG bailout by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Geithner and Paulson, the current and former treasury secretaries, have already testified that they knew nothing/weren’t really all that involved/yadda — but now they have some AIG executives up. Watch live on C-Span 3.
Here is a snip about the coverup between the Fed and AIG from CNBC sent in by Kelly, our spy in the house of love. All day long I’ve been listening to these guys testify one at a time saying they didn’t have any part in the decisions, are not quite sure how it happened, or why certain decisions were made. It’s just that one firm, Goldman-Sachs, and its former employees, was all over the deal.
It’s really funny, maybe I’m just psychic, but during the Sept. 14 meltdown, I just watched these guys on TV thinking: they’re ripping off the treasury. This is the biggest ripoff in history. They’re calling it a bailout…but they’re looting the treasury.
In other news, Berbanke is up for a vote as Federal Reserve chairman Thursday, hours after the Leo Full Moon conjunct retrograde Mars.
Thanks for the link Eric. This was the dark and black at the heart of things re the inquiry I was referring to – well one of them. There’s so many, where’d you start?
That’s the first time I’ve read those chart texts – chilling stuff.
I think that what disturbs me most about all this now (apart from that it ever happened) is not just that those files are classified for nigh on double the length of time files are usually classified, (why is the question – right?) but that it was not known in the public domain that they had actually been classified for 70 years. This is the first time it’s been revealed.
Sarah Taylor – nice to meet you, that’s three and counting… 🙂
I covered the David Kelly murder in 2003. Thank god for google or I would have never found it.

Thanks for the heads up Eric regarding U.S. politics and the Economy
Over the pond regarding there’s a lot of talk regarding former UN weapons inspector Dr. David Kelly. Seems like there’s conflicting reports as to whether the records and reports concerning his death will be made public.
It was reported at the weekend that the medical reports including the post-mortem examination findings by Dr Nicholas Hunt, a pathologist, and also photographs of Dr Kelly’s body, are to remain classified for 70 years.
There is also a 30-year ban on publication of records provided to the inquiry but not produced in evidence.

oh wow, I logged on just in time to see that last guy testifying, caressing with his fingers the sum of “20 billion dollars, for illustrative purposes.”
I may have to go vomit. At the same time I feel kinda sorry for humans who have been so removed from — gee, I guess we still don’t have a common language for it — their Living Spirit, that might do……
Yes of course they looted the treasury.
blessings on your house,
