    • Pre-Order The Obama Deception
  • Bought and Paid For

    Washington’s Blog
    Saturday, Oct 10th, 2009

    Lobbyists from the financial industry have paid hundreds of millions to Congress and the Obama administration. They have bought virtually all of the key congress members and senators on committees overseeing finances and banking.

    This is easy to confirm in black-and-white. See for yourself: here, here, here, here, here and here.

    Manhattan Institute senior fellow Nicole Gelinas says:

    The too-big-to-fail financial industry has been good to elected officials and former elected officials of both parties over its 25-year life span

    And economic historian Niall Ferguson says:

    Guess which institutions are among the biggest lobbyists and campaign-finance contributors? Surprise! None other than the TBTFs [too big to fails].

    No wonder two powerful congressmen said that banks run Congress.

    No wonder two leading IMF officials, the former Vice President of the Dallas Federal Reserve, and the the head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City have all said that the United States is controlled by an oligarchy.

    With the exception of a handful couple of Congress members who have the American people’s interest in mind, Congress is bought and paid for.

    Note: A friend on the Hill made an important point to me by email.

    Maxine Waters and Ron Paul get almost nothing [from the financial sector lobbyists. He mentioned a couple of other Congress members who have kept clear of lobby money from the FIRE sector].

    The story isn’t just that a lot of members are bought and paid for, it’s that some aren’t.

    2. Proton Pump Inhibitor Says:

      Business as usual. Obama is just carrying the torch. True revolt is the only answer.

      Wanna see real change in America. Stop protesting meaninglessly and start some real action:

      Target the rich.
      Stop buying non-essential items.
      Boycott corporate manufactures.
      Become self-sufficient.
      Everyone stop paying property taxes.
      Stick together with your neighbors. Help feed and shelter each other if needed.

      There is much more…………

      boycot the TBTF corps and banks. Let’s put them out of business and lock up the CEOs and advisors. Yes people will lose jobs but we are already losing a half million a month now. It’s time to stop adapting to their game plans and end it all togther.

    4. AlteredState Says:

      I agree and let’s make sure that the few congressmen that have the American people’s interests in mind protected. We need to do this and do it all the way. It’s now or never, AMERICA.

      Did someone give Israel a receipt for purchase?

      blindboy Reply:

      Their receipt is all the blackmail photos of little boys and girls with congresscritters.

    6. Patriotgal Says:

      Yup, we’ve got the best government money can buy. Oh, wait a minute- if WE paid for it, shouldn’t it be OUR government?

    9. The Historian Says:

      The power of the corporation pervades all levels of our lives from politics, to the media, to the wars we fight. It is in their very psychology to do so. Until the system is realigned we will continue to travel down this dark path

      THE ENTIRE US GOVERNMENT has been “Bought and Paid for” with your money that was laundered through the so called funding for the Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan wars through Israel and given by Israel to the SO CALLED Politicians in Washington DC.

      END THE FED and the wars will END IMMEDIATELY!

      jean Reply:

      Yep, Israeli lobbyists leave big, brown paper bags full of money on desks of politicians. Politicians vote $5 billion aid to Israel. Israel takes percentage of that $5 billion , put in big,brown paper bags which they leave on desks of polilticians who vote $5 billion aid to Israel. Israel takes percentage of that $5 billion, put in big, brown paper bags which they leave on desk of politiians who………this goes on for ever! Your money folks!

      T. R. Eddy Reply:

      Yeah, and phony “Christian” preachers get bribed by “Israel” to preach that anti-Christs are “God’s Chosen”. Jerry Foulwell (sic) got a personal Lear Jet from them before he died. Others have received similar “gifts”. Scripture warns of those that “Preach for filthy lucres sake”. Most of the TV evangelists fall into that category.

    11. Manfred Says:

      For allowing a cabal of foreign nationals to run your Federal Reserve you Americans deserve exactly the bankrupt country your children will inherit. Where do you think all the money is going to? Who do you think is in charge of your institutions, such as the FBI, DEA, ,NSC, Army, Navy, Air Force, Presidency, Congress, Senate etc. ad nauseum. Time to wake up! The dream is over! Face the reality!

    12. Incriminally Sane Says:

      Votes will be cast for the Continental Congress on October tenth………BE THERE!

      blindboy Reply:

      No Con-Con. If that can of worms is opened up, these SOB’s we call Congress will gut what’s left of the Constitution – without a second thought.

    13. Gary B. Says:

      2 Timothy 3:13:
      “But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

      This IS what’s happening, right now, right in front of our eyes (if you have eyes to see).

    14. Matzo Man Says:

      Our government isn’t for sale. We all get to “vote” and we have “democracy” and “elections.”

      Otherwise our government would be controlled by PACs, lobbyists, and insiders from particular wealthy and powerful interest groups like the Bilderberg group and AIPAC.

      It’s got to be one or the other. It either is for sale or it isn’t. You choose.

      For example we could have Middle East peace now if we would cut off Israel, but strangely we don’t. So is what the government is doing is just a bunch of lies? You decide.

    15. will Says:

      This is nothing new in American History. Then only new peice is that the Corps are international now and the interests being served are not in this Nation. Even a 3rd party would be corrupted in the fashion.
