abc interview with geithner
embedding of the video was disabled by abc, but it's not much of a hassle to click a link. the treasury secretary moves his head back and forth as if watching a tennis match. it's more distracting than convincing. i wonder if his motives are to enchant the american public in a sort of "these aren't the droids you're looking for" fashion hypnosis. there are some who call him "tim the enchanter." i wonder why he didn't wear this hat to the proceedings.

ok so i am the sum of that some, everyone else i've heard has referred to him pejoratively as "tiny tim." a puppet by any other name is still as crooked. making light of a dire situation is my sign off on this heavy entry.

senate votes on bernanke

bernanke confirmed by a vote of 70-30. here we had a chance of ousting the head of the fed (bush administration left overs), but nothing doing. those 70 votes for bernanke illuminate those on the payroll. stay tuned for the next entry dedicated to secretary of the treasury timothy geithner.

corn fed beef reserve steak 1

here is a mega-update on the situation regarding transparency of the federal reserve, which is a battle with many obstacles. much has happened since my last update on the matter (in november, eek). grab a cup of coffee or whatever your sipping beverage of choice may be and plow through. even if hr1207 & s604 are watered and/or
shot down, raising awareness of this issue is still important.

for a history of the federal reserve, this is an informative documentary to watch:
fiat empire
circa 2005.

december happenings

ron paul interviewed by ratigan

bernie sanders floor speech on bernanke hold. s604

a friend like ben - jokes

i find this much akin to president obama's nobel peace prize. a tired institution trying to raise support for something undeserving of said such. ugh.
