    THIS summer, when the Treasury secretary, Henry M. Paulson Jr., sought help navigating the Wall Street meltdown, he turned to his old firm, Goldman Sachs, snagging a handful of former bankers and other experts in corporate restructurings.In September, after the government bailed out the American International Group, the faltering insurance giant, for $85 billion, Mr. Paulson helped select a director from Goldman’s own board to lead A.I.G.

    And earlier this month, when Mr. Paulson needed someone to oversee the government’s proposed $700 billion bailout fund, he again recruited someone with a Goldman pedigree, giving the post to a 35-year-old former investment banker who, before coming to the Treasury Department, had little background in housing finance.

    Indeed, Goldman’s presence in the department and around the federal response to the financial crisis is so ubiquitous that other bankers and competitors have given the star-studded firm a new nickname: Government Sachs.

    The Guys From ‘Government Sachs’  161008pptv2

    The power and influence that Goldman wields at the nexus of politics and finance is no accident. Long regarded as the savviest and most admired firm among the ranks — now decimated — of Wall Street investment banks, it has a history and culture of encouraging its partners to take leadership roles in public service.

    It is a widely held view within the bank that no matter how much money you pile up, you are not a true Goldman star until you make your mark in the political sphere. While Goldman sees this as little more than giving back to the financial world, outside executives and analysts wonder about potential conflicts of interest presented by the firm’s unique perch.

      This bodes a very close Overwatch of that which Sec’y. Paulson and his picks do with “our money.”

      “Let us face the fact: they have Stolen all the Money..period!”

      Do the opposite of what they ask you to do.
      Buffet says buy American stocks.
      He has never had me over for a drink or dinner.
      Why should I listen to him??
      Because he is wealthy and cares about us??

      Nope, he invested all his money into the companies that are going to profit the most from this failure. The ones backed up by the government before the bill was even passed.
      This is no different than the insider trading the Rothchilds use to steal.

      You have better chances of winning a game of shell with the guy on the corner than you do with the stocks.
      At least you know the shell game is a scam, and after awhile will walk away.
      The stocks are not a free market and they try to convince the public it is safe gambling.
      Don’t gamble on stocks anymore. Make safe investments only and do not feed the crooks.
      The bait is out there to invest in low stocks, but when the companies go belly up. You lose.
      As far as Buffett, he is on the same team as Paulson.
      DO NOT listen to a man that made his fortunes off others losses.

      paulson created this mess, you look to him for salvation ?
      bye bye america

      i asked a history teacher a question in the library on friday, he was there with his class.

      “how can america of today be so blindly misled by their government, just as the people of nazi germany during the holocaust ? ”

      without blinking, he said
      “americans willingly allow themselves to be misled, as they see the short term gains in oil and resources”

      he said america is just like the roman empire, the rise and and eventual fall.
      he said america’s fall will be abrupt, just as if it lept off a cliff in suicide, not a gradual decline.

      americans turn a blind eye to the salughter of 5 million innocent iraqis, for oil
      americans turn a blind eye to the slaughter of thousand of afghans for an oil pipeline route
      americans turn a blind eye to forcefully drugge state of their armd forces, to let them kill innocents
      americans turn a blind eye to the suicides of thousands of their own young children during and returning from unjust wars
      americans turn a blind eye to removing prayer from school
      americans turn a blind eye to the rape and pillage of innocents here and abroad
      americans turn a blind eye to baby killing through abortions, 30 million a year of their own children
      americans turn a blind eye to false worship of money as a gd
      americans turn a blind eye to their own destruction

      we, the innocents, stand and cheer
      our eyes have been opened
      so that we may cherish the destruction of modern day babylon
      may your ashes be replaced with a peaceful, gd fearing people

      let the celebration begin
      america’s end is near

      You can always physically rebel. Just consider consequences. If you go after someone just make sure it is a guilty party and not some dumbo that just went along for the ride. DO NOT ever confront law enforcement or military. Few if any of them are guilty of anything. Many can be recruited for your side with some care and diligence.
