Leading Democrats: Congress, Senate Owned And Run By Bankers
Those who created the banking crisis are also the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill
Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Tuesday, June 2, 2009
The Democratic Chairman of the Agriculture Committee yesterday announced to the press that “The banks run the place,” in reference to the US Congress. He is the second notable elected official to speak out in recent weeks over the gross and institutionally corrupt conflict of interest on Capitol Hill.
“I will tell you what the problem is,” Collin Peterson told the New York Times, “they give three times more money than the next biggest group. It’s huge the amount of money they put into politics.”
Peterson is pushing for legislation to regulate derivatives trading. His proposed bill would limit derivatives trading to public exchanges, rather than private clearinghouses, which are managed by banks.
In this sense he directly opposes the proposal of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, to have the transactions monitored by the New York branch of the Federal Reserve, a move also (coincidentally?) proposed by the heads of the banking industry.
Over-exposure to credit derivatives of mortgage-backed securities – or credit default swaps (CDS) was a key reason for the failure of Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, American International Group, and Washington Mutual last year, and is at the centre of a financial black hole that is engulfing the economy.
“Peterson’s bill specifically bars derivatives trading in a clearinghouse regulated by the New York Federal Reserve, which he said in an interview ‘is a tool of the big banks’ that ‘wouldn’t do much’ to regulate the contracts,” the New York Times writes.
“Because the banks’ lobbyists persuaded some of his Republican colleagues to resist more sweeping changes, Mr. Peterson said, he has had to modify a bill he introduced that is similar to Mr. Harkin’s in calling for wide-ranging limits on derivatives.”
Peterson’s warning mirrors that of Democratic Senator Dick Durbin, who just a few weeks ago uttered the same rarely acknowledged truth.
“And the banks — hard to believe in a time when we’re facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created — are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place,” he said.
(Article continues below)
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Barack Obama received $69,823,872 in contributions from the banking industry, while John McCain got $60,605,254, with the total between the two exceeding $130 million.
This makes the banks the biggest donor to the presidential campaigns by a clear $35 million, second only to lobbyists and lawyers. Feel the democracy in action.
The New York Times reports that the top five financial sector companies — Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Credit Suisse — gave $22.7 million and spent more than $25 million combined on lobbying activities in one year.
The banks have literally bought the House of Representatives.
In this sense the vast swathe of regulatory powers eventually handed over to the government will first be filtered through the very interests they are supposed to be overseeing, and we are back to where we started.
We have tirelessly exposed how the very people tasked with rescuing the economy by both the Obama and Bush administrations are the same ones who helped create the financial crisis in the first instance. Geithner is a prime example, being as he is a protege of former Goldman CEO and Citigroup director Robert Rubin.
Salon journalist Glenn Greenwald has exposed more ties between the House and the banks, and how financial policy is now almost wholly dictated by the banking industry.

No it’s not! This is just the tip of the sh*tberg – you’re going to need to dig deeper to find the real criminals – even though they are ‘hiding in plane sight’. Here’s a clue, they met at the Dominion Bank in Toronto recently; they are also in deep,deep trouble with Red China…

These fucks are poisoning the air we breathe, forcing us to eat unhealthy gmo foods, Flouride, pramaceuticals in our drinking water etc.
Do you think they sit around and say “Gee, I really think SOMEONE ought to do something about all those stupid people out there.” Hell no!
These fucks are agressive and so intelligent that they have become stupid to those that see through them.
What is it going to take before you step up to the plate? Altered health? death of a loved one? Complete domination?
Before you talk shit back, understand this… I atleast try and do my part. I burn dvd’s post them along with messages on stop signs in rural and small townships… I do my best to be a patriot for the values and freedoms I believe in.

Tell me Greg, i see wisdom in your words, but no solution. Go door to door passing out dvds and TALKING perhaps you’ll make a small dent in the untrained conscience of the sleeper…But really? The average joe isn’t going to pick up that dvd and watch the whole thing unless said average joe is already awake…These People are stuck and hurting right now for alot of the reasons you mentioned actually and many more, our in fighting must stop yes, the violent awake ones among us are still holding on no widespread riots..yet, the peace loving are peacewalking the informers are reporting for us that are reading and barely holding on for whatever reason…WTF do we have left to work with, what has been given to us to work with? We have the internet but ya, what good is reading about it with everyone else thats reading about it?
Guess what? Our votes dont count, we get to vote for the options ‘they’ offer. So this is no longer “Our” country, is it in the flag? The founders of this country formed it out of an idea not cloth, “We” are our country.
What should “WE” all be doing?
Can you offer a Solution? Anyone?

Listen to the Radio Addresses from Peter Joseph. If your mind is not short-circuited from delusion, the clarity of what we should be doing becomes apparent.
Once people understand that the NewWorldOrder is a symptom of and can only exist in a Monetary System(which creates artificial scarcity to ultimately control people’s lives), we will be able to escape the very thing that the control grid is based upon.
In defense of my post, I am a Prison Planet monthly subscriber, and regularly listen to the Alex Jones show, to try and keep abreast of what the power elite are up to. I have been atheist for most of my life and have generally been annoyed at the religious thoughts expressed on the show(while still recognizing the value his show provides). However, after listening to Mr. Jones’ interview of Peter Joseph, I was intrigued by the idea of a Resource-based Economy. After going to the Zeitgeist Movement website and listening to the Radio Addresses, I am even more committed to this idea and convinced that it’s an actual solution to the extreme distress we are facing as a people.
Check it out and maybe you’ll decide working to create a Resource-based Economy is what “WE” should all be doing.

Dazed,
I believe you may have misunderstood me. I wasn’t defending my country at all, only my previous posting. As to the rest of your posting, from an atheist perspective, I can only sigh and shake my head.
…defend your country the “BEAST” all you want but real soon [an imaginary superbeing created by man in an era without any scientific understanding] will be ridding the world of these corrupt entities. Stop placing your faith in man and seek [an imaginary superbeing created by man in an era without any scientific understanding] THIS is my only hope?!…
It seems like an irresponsible cop-out to me… “God” will soon be ridding the world of corrupt entities, why should I worry about working to solve the major problems of our time, for “God” will do all the work?!
Listen, I’m not picking any fights with Christians, we have much more in common than what seperates us. I was merely trying to offer up a potential solution as brokenpuppet was requesting feedback in his previous posting.

For the record i’m a recovering JW christian and for those of you that believe in the bible that was writen by man inspired by god or rather by what man felt god wanted at the time…WE are the caretakers and our job according to the bible is to take care of the earth!
God is love, nothing more, not a person place or thing just a powerful force to those that act on love and not hate. Love inspires great things, including CHANGE
and that power is within WE the people not god…Hence, love/god is useless without US

Yeah — you good Christians might just have some “Splainin” to do .

June 2nd, 2009 at 8:56 am
It’s nice to hear the truth, even if from a small vocal minority who will be punished and over ridden. I’d like to have someone explain how giving money to banks from taxpayers is going to stimulate the economy. Why not simply suspend the federal income tax and let the consumers do the rest. That wouldn’t create another bureaucracy that adds 500% to every purchase. Add up these expenses: Fed income tax (of which SSI is a solid 13% alone), State income tax (which funds all levels of government), sales tax, property tax, vehicle registration, etc. etc. and you will find yourself taking home about 40% of your income. The next thing you are going to see is 10% more Federal Income tax and 20% more state. That means you will have 30% to spend each year. I work for the DOD and a 10 cent light bulb must cost $100,000 and six years of waiting to get. Why? An ever growing bureaucracy that must ensure the ethical justification for every purchase. You will eventually find “ethical” persons dumpster diving, one of the few ethical activities available aka recycling.

People think that the bailout will stimulate the economy, because talking heads on television told them it will stimulate the economy. 95% of the people who support the bailout do not have the critical thinking skills necessary to consider whether or not it would work, or even how it would work. They just supported it because it’s the right thing to do, according to CNN.

It’s not all Zionists. White Christian folks and Asian folks have made a pretty penny off this finance bit, too eh. If anything, the fact that these elitist types support Israel is only to get support for their goals. The used using the used. Ted Turner is not a Zionist, rather a vocal critic of Israel, yet look at all the Zionists he employs. AIPAC is not the Banks and the banks are not AIPAC (Banks make money off of both sides of the turmoil, Do you think Hamas’ AKs and ordinance are paid for with hummus?). AIPAC and the Fed are two issues that really need to be solved before the country can be free again, though.

AIPAC and the banks are the same network. Look who runs the banks it’s almost all Zionist Jews. The Rothschilds were pivotal in founding Israel. There’s never been a non-Jewish head of the Fed, Bernake went to summer camp in Israel as a child. Paul Wolfowitz was head of the World Bank.

The raping of the treasury by W Bush, Henry Paulson and Phil Grahm (rep. Texas) and his banking buddy’s is the end result of runaway free capitalism. This was well known and apparently experienced by Russia’s Lenon, who knew the final outcome of unregulated capitalism. (We will hang the capitalist by the neck with a rope they made and sold to us.) The bottom line is greed. Human nature says men will always lookout for themselves first, and when men feel powerful and rich they seem to step on all those who are poor or in a weaker position. Government who is made up of “our” elected officials, is supposed to potect us from the powerful corporations and capitalist who only lookout for their own. But it is a struggle when our elected officials recieve (are bribed) money from those they are supposed to protect us from. The solution, regulate the money given to our politicians, and the money they do recieve must be completely transparent and posted on the web.

The corporation known as UNITED STATES is completely owned by the Federal Reserve who are owned by the Rothchilds. Declare your sovereignty and rid yourself of these slave masters.
Why be angry and live in FEAR? All we have to do is claim our sovereignty, under common law none of the 60 million statutes and acts applies to us. There is only 1 law “have I injured another man” and if you have you have to answer to it. The Banksters have taken over America and since 1938 only Admiralty law is practiced in court as evidenced by the gold-fringed flag flying therein. Under this Law of Contracts you have given over your sovereignty by submitting (submission) applications (begging) for a marriage license, birth certificate, drivers license, car registration, etc. When you get a notice from your bank or a traffic ticket or any court document or license look at them. Your name is all in capital letters (signifying a corporation). That isn’t you. Seek information on the free man or sovereignty movement and become the governing power as we were intended to be.

Do you think the fine print on a legal document is important? Check out your banks checks you use. You notice your corporate person YOUR NAME at the top. What if it was another corporate name, say Acme Fixtures then there could only be authorized signatures for that account as signers name and the account’s name don’t match-only authorized names would apply. A flesh and blood man has to sign for a corporate account as a corporation is legal fiction. Now LOOK closely at the signature line on your check with some high power magnification- It is actually a series of words in micro print that say ” authorized signature only”
over and over. WOW read the fine print.

The solution is simple take the power away from these pukes/Self proclaimed Elites. They got the power from us because we gave it to them, Stop giving it to them. If we refuse to play with them they have no power. They cannot produce anything without us, the people. I would love to see them produce something worth a damn. They are afraid if we understand this they lose. If we all do this they will try an coerce you into believing otherwise but if you refuse to play with them they have nothing.
STOP GIVING THEM THE POWER, DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THEM, IF YOU TAKE THAT FROM THEM THEY HAVE NOTHING OVER YOU!
Do you really need what they have? Think About that. You have what they need. THINK ABOUT THAT!

I don’t condone murder, but if more people followed their hearts, instead of sitting on their asses, there would be a hell of a lot more bloodshed.
Just a shame he chose Abortions, instead of Bankers, Bilderbergers, Government, etc…
This guy by being a change agent, ended one life that had taken many. Even I can not deny that.
Still his skills and sacrifice would have been better served by the whole of the American people by selecting more viable targets. Abortion, nut jobs have always tried to knock these guys out of business. Now Timothy Geithner, haven’t seen anyone do anything against those types.
My advice, if your going to be the change agent Lone Wolf is talking about, make your bullets and targets count.

At the top is David Rockefeller who on page 405 of his Memoirs, David Rockfeller wrote:
“Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
NOTE THE WORDS “we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States” AND “If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” So this CFR member emeritus has proudly admitted his treasonous guilt!

Face it folks, most of our country consists of three types of people. 70% sheeple – they watch American Idol, drink beer, work at there shit day job, don’t have a fucking clue as to whats going on.
The next 20% either work for the government, or are full fledged card carrying “we love our Obama” brainwashed orthodox mainstream robots.
We (if you are visiting this website) are part of the remaining 10%. At the top of our group is the 1% that runs the world, the rest of us watch whats going on, follow false revolutionary prophets like Alex Jones, get lots of guns and basically don’t do dick to change anything. Like 1776, I expect if things get to bad we may do something, but until then guess all we can do is talk shit on this website.(unless of course you are one of the real hard core anarchist in this country, and of course I understand you can’t write on this website and draw attention to yourself) How come nobody is looking to alter or eliminate the top 1%? They seem more than ready to cut our population.

Again, ”My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. CAIRO, you got so far up the ladder, to ”the force that pulls the strings”. Then lack of knowledge, sends you into a confusion. We have two ”Forces”. One is Good, and one is Evil. The evil force is Saten, who has hoards of demonic angels. He has an Agenda, an ancient Agenda. And he is using these which you refer to as the ”elite”, of this world, to accomplish that agenda. Saten is real, even these evil people know it, and it is he that they worship. They do not accomplish all this evil with human power alone. They get their power from this evil being called Saten. No, you wont see him, he is a supernatural entity. What so many of you little guys don’t understand, is this truth. You must have spiritual power, and spiritual weapons, to fight against a supernatural entity!!! And there is only one Source for that power, and those weapons…and that is to have God to equip you with it. Here is a secret: Were you to have what power and weapons of which I speak, YOU COULD HAVE POWER OVER SATEN, THE ENEMY! And if you could have power over their ”head hauncho”….then you could have spiritual power over THEIR spiritual power, which they get from Saten, and use on you! Yet, you are all sitting there,
bewildered, not knowing what to do! One more important thing. When you are empowered with this spiritual power….you cease being afraid of THEIR kind of spiritual power….because yours would be the stronger!

June 2nd, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Even if we do start to regulate private donations, it may not make that much of a difference. In politics there’s positive and negative reinforcement. Sure, spending money on politicians can buy votes, but then TPTB still have the option of destroying the credibility of those candidates that they do not support. So if the banks cant spend as much to support there candidates they can simply spend more to discredit there opponents. Either way the people will never have a say in anything as long as our biggest asset is paper.
June 2nd, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Sure, the bankers throw around hundreds of millions of dollars to elect and “lobby” the Congress Critters, but that pales in comparison to the TRILLIONS they create (out of thin air) to finance the Critter’s ever-expanding criminal operation in Washington DC. You want to talk leverage? That’s where the real leverage is…

Vote them out!!?? And vote who in?? We must all agree both partys are ONE party. Both should be outlawed, leaders imprisoned. We need many partys. Real debate. Real Democracy. No machine based elections.
We need to take back the airwaves that belong to us and speak the truth. 9/11 truth is the perfect starting point. Lets get serious. If you EVER vote for ANY Dem or Repub again you are just asking for more of the same.
How about no more comments that do not give ideas for peaceful revolution. We need millions in the street, taking over(peacefully) local tv stations. We do not need American Idol, dance contests or vapid mind numbing drivel. Demand intelligent discourse ONLY on OUR airwaves. Without getting in the street by the millions and taking back what is ours we are only pissing in the wind. Can we use the internet while we stil have it to come together, lynch the bastards who REALLY did 9/11, and move on to a better world. Yes. Will we??? Only if we can find the courage. I live in dc area. Open to ALL suggestions leading to peaceful revolution. Lets get busy.

First we all need to REALY understand that the freedom we thought we had never really existed in our lifetime, not for we serfs that is. The system we live under is built on corruption, you cannot fix that, it would be like doing a heart transplant on a dead man with no head. Time to bury it and rebuild from scratch. Freedom… It’s ours if we simply say(with one voice) YOUR ALL FIRED! marching on the white house lawn together to deliver the signed declaration…hitchhike if thats the only way to make it there and remove the scum present, flood the whitehouse in a nonviolent way and calmly tell them all to leave the country. Bring our troops home to defend US for a change while we sort this mess out, alot of our generals and commanders would back us, you’d be surprized.

My god – read this!
http://www.asianews.it/index.p.....amp;size=A
This sober pedestrian news report spells out in no uncertain terms who controls the creation of the world’s money supply.
If you will – who are the men behind the curtain.
No theory. No conspiracy. No innuendo. No whispers. The straight facts. This news report name is Rothschild as having popped it head from the bunker. Thinks are spinning out of control if now they’re becoming visible.
This does not bode well for the immediate future.
I fear they’ll get vicious. As is their true nature.
It’s a shame Alex Jones refuses to acknowledge the ‘Z’ and ‘J’ words. Zionist and Jews.
Jim Tucker knows, MIchael Collins Piper knows, Mike Rivero knows, Jeff Rense knows, John Stadtmiller knows, Rick Adams knows. Daryl Bradford Smith knows it, and sadly Arron Russo knew it too.
All these are patriots. Many don’t even like or agree with each other, but they all agree on one point. The ‘Z’ and the ‘J’ control the Fed, Bank of England, and therefore the world’s money machine.
Follow the money people. It will lead you straight to the NWO who are throwing your freedoms into their global control meat grinder. If the genie is out of the bottle in sober news reports. This is a harbinger or immanent danger is about to befall us all.
The only ones who want to hide the master of the universe are Jones and Burmas. Shills, shills, shills – both of them. They’ve been bought. I can understand. For the right money I’d shut up too!

Destructive Entitlement and Debt: America’s New Legacy
One of America’s founding principles was “No taxation without representation.” Many Colonists fought and died for this tenet.. and our republic. However, our current political idiocies and monetary policy perpetrations are condemning the next two to three generations to pay for economic sins they didn’t commit and worse, to have no say in the matter.
My cohort, the baby-boomers, has done a dreadful job of managing America for the next generation. Our parents, the World War II generation, left the world and our country better off for us. We have failed miserably to do likewise for our offspring. I have two daughters, ages 9 and 13; I’m very concerned for their future.
The United States of America took 233 years to build up roughly $9 trillion in official national debt (not including off balance sheet obligations). In the last year and a half, we’ve come close to doubling it. Why? To save craven Wall Street-types and derivatives gamblers from themselves and each other?
All the money the Federal Reserve and Treasury have poured into “companies too big to fail” has done nothing to unstick the credit markets. And it won’t and can’t. The seeming large sums of rescue money that have been committed are just a spit in the ocean relative to the more than $500 trillion in face value of global leveraged financial instruments that remain to be “unwound”. Until that gargantuan and little understood overhang is reduced or removed from the marketplace, economic progress and growth will be very difficult.
Congress and the Obama Administration’s current bail-out actions, taken in response to the greed and/or mismanagement of a few, will insure that our children and grandchildren will experience a lower standard of living, greatly increased taxes, less freedom, and embedded inflation for years to come. It’s immoral, stupid, and, in the final analysis, won’t work to ‘save us’ today anyhow. Markets, like water, find their own level regardless of how much sandbagging is done.
The Democrat-controlled Congress is now trying to push though cap and trade legislation. The liberals are attempting to create a thinly veiled wealth redistribution tax masquerading as a solution for global climate change. As if this insanity wasn’t bad enough, Title VIII of the proposed Waxman-Markey House bill allows investment banks, hedge funds and other speculators to participate in carbon credit futures, aka derivatives.
Speculation is causing our rising oil and gasoline prices. Since cap and trade would create a de facto tax on coal-fired power plants, do we really want the “big boys” gaming our electric rates too? This is particularly troubling since government has shown no inclination to regulate these pirates, even though increased costs are clearly detrimental to our economy. Further, why should we let those who are primarily responsible for the current economic crisis participate in anything else? Have they not done enough damage? Has the American public not yet rendered enough “tribute”?
Forget about the Swine Flu… it’s a distraction from the disease that’s causing America to implode.
Much of Washington, D. C., what I refer to as the ’District of Cynicism’, suffers from an acute case of Destructive Entitlement, defined as the violent pursuit of one’s entitlement and a refusal to care about others. Nothing substantive will ever get done for our future unless and until both major parties start putting America first in their decision-making process… and break their bonds to the big money boys who currently manipulate and rig the system.
We must transform our broken national political dialogue. Main Street has got to firmly take back America from the clutches of Wall Street manipulators and entrenched special interests on K Street in Washington, D.C. Together, these elitists have just about killed the American wealth-generating goose that has laid 60 years of ‘golden eggs’ for middle-class.
Thomas Jefferson left us with some sage, almost visionary, advice:
“If Americans ever allow banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless”.
What would Jefferson say about the financial legacy are we leaving for our children?
