On our Treasury Secretary Designate

Timothy Geithner, Barack Obama's Treasury Secretary designate, drew my attention at first with his current position as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. That's scary from the starting line, because this guy has headed up for about 5 years what is possibly the most important branch of the Fed cartel. Not cool, Tim.
This fellow, living in CNN/Money's 11th best place to live in the US started his life in finance with Kissinger and Associates, then moved on to the Treasury Dept. From there he joined the Council on Foreign Relations economics division and then worked with the IMF on a policy reforming committee. He is also a trustee of the Economics Club of New York,a private club of international top executives and government officials that hosts events regarding policy and issues relating to economics. Check out the website above to see a list of recent speakers. It's a fascinating list, I'd say. You can watch videos of select sections of these people talks on YouTube. He also worked to push through the rescue and sale of Bear Stearns and has played a role in decisions regarding the bail outs and other issues related to our current "financial crisis."
He also serves on the board of directors of the Bank of International Settlements, which is basically the bank for the world's central banks. This group's culture of secrecy has caused many to doubt their intentions. We should be looking at them, too.
Timothy Geithner does not seem to be on our side, here.

Help end the fractional reserve banking system, which shifts wealth from the deserving masses to a few bankers at the top. This is the single greatest barrier to peace that our world faces. We can defeat it, and the snowballing of vast reform for liberty that will follow will be the next step towards a truly advanced human race. I think we too often consider ourselves mature and civilized, failing to realize the fact that technological and intellectual growth will never cease, and has only truly begun taking flight in the last few hundred years. We have solved some problems, but have created others that stand in the way to total freedom and prosperity.
